the comic is hard to read on mobile + in some spots (didnt clean up the colouring very well. and some scenes are intentionally very grungy but in a way that makes them hard to read) so the grey text boxes are there underneath each page to help !!

context is some girls recorded me without full permission and maybe im being overdramatic but man that feels really fucked up

to be clear it isn't that it's hard to read on mobile due to not being accessible there it's just that the text on the images gets smaller with the images getting smaller and all

okay update going to upload the comic first and then continue working on the mobile accessibility guide because uploading the comic is going to take less time and its one more thing out of the way

the mobile accessibility guide is going to be a little tricky to work on because i think itd be cool to show off how you can make your site mobile accessible even when your site really doesnt look like its possible. fun challenge for me and maybe inspo for others

also please note this comic was written 2 days before uk government deciding it wants people to give up their ids to use the internet "freely". i knew this law was going to be put in place at some point but did not expect to write "i dont like being doxxed: the comic" and have the uk implement mandatory doxxing yourself 2 days later thats bonkers

okay news: I have the comic done but I'll work on my mobile accessibility guide first. then upload the comic. that way i have time to think what i want the page it's on to look like (I already have a vague idea since the style of the comic kinda pulls from the music video for rot for clout)

I know theres probably a bunch of guides out there on it but would anyone be interested in a mobile accessibility guide. i got my friends into making webpages recently and they keep asking me about it and i think it'd be nice to put out there

artfight tommorow guys can you believe it. anyways thinking of cases of mod creators not learning their lesson from sonic gather battle. the lesson being "don't put malware in your stuff to be petty". it's so funny to me

like the gshade stuff that happened a while ago. dev made your computer shut down if the mod detected another mod someone made to fix an annoying part of the first mod. tried to claim that wasn't malware because they could've done worse. can you imagine saying that infront of a court

"your honour I only hit him with a hammer once I could've done worse"

anyways alien stage fans (okay i wouldnt really call myself a fan but yknow) how we feeling
owthehedge's avatar owthehedge 2 months ago

would love to state my thoughts on it. I really do NOT like the direction the last two episodes took. but it feels like everyone else out there has seen a very different story than I do somehow

owthehedge's avatar owthehedge 2 months ago

idk the message feels like less about a story about love and the way love affects people/can hurt people and more "don't fight back against the system that wants you dead dumbass" which is definetly a message to have in your story in 2025

owthehedge's avatar owthehedge 2 months ago

like I don't know what is the value of your protag going "humans are bad and evil" in a story where humans are an oppressed class kidnapped from their homes and abused/killed and kept as pets for aliens entertainment. in any other case I'd take it as "writer or character hasn't grown past the age of 13" but it feels like a completely different message in this context. mainly "we deserve all that happening to us"

especially after mizi disavows all hyunas efforts with the rebellion

owthehedge's avatar owthehedge 2 months ago

instead of taking her anger out on the people who keep her in the system in the first place she takes her anger out on people who are/have suffered from that system. she's a fucking class traitor

owthehedge's avatar owthehedge 2 months ago

idk I feel like it's ironic to have a story with anti revolutionary themes and then throw a revolutionary girl utena reference in there

owthehedge's avatar owthehedge 2 months ago

I swear to god. does anyone else see this. I feel like I'm going crazy

owthehedge's avatar owthehedge 2 months ago

maybe I'm just too aromantic for whatever message they were trying to tell to resonate

i did a speedpaint in case anyone wants to watch me do my art things in a low bitrate void: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zGskQs_Qcwo
