I think the biggest damage to the art community was the obsolescence of gallery sites (y!, deviantart, etc) and the rise of scroll-by social media, like twitter and even tumblr. Art is not ''content'', you shouldnt need to post art every day (or every month!) to be relevant. This mindset sucks.
I share this bc I know there’s creators out there who will question their ability to do art/writing, and judge their worth based on if a publisher will take them. I tried hard for ~4 years before accepting it wasn’t going to happen. So I had to reorient my expectations.
omg everybody go draw a horse this is what the internet was made for

this is my effort to sidestep the enshittification of well...everything 😭
I have setup a Substack to help send out newsletters through email for my webcomics! motli.substack.com
This will mainly be used to notify when a chapter or volume is completed for coLouR*, and any other important announcements.
I've had people finish the entirety of Brimstone and Roses (all 143 episodes) and still not know Bea, Lazareth, or Ginger's names
Like it's actually insane how much people skim and then whine about updates "being too short" cause they didn't read
Anyway, just wanna note that yes I'm aware there are other characters in media with fans + fire (looks at fire force) but this one just got particularly close. There's a lot of concepts/OCs I have not shared to the public, in fear of people or AI taking it :') I'm small and indie AHHH
If anything, at least her actual character design is nothing like Anran 🥲 She has only been shown with a disguise so far in the comic. I can deal with comparisons, but it does get annoying if people act like I was inspired/stole these concepts when I already had these planned for years...
Ahhhhhh overwatch has released a character with a similar ability to my coLouR* OC 😭 guess I'll have to deal with comparisons to that too now...people already tried to compare it to ATLA...its ok, great minds think alike 😭😭 (some pics of my OC below)
oh this is going to be SO useful for the comic
one of my resolutions this year was to learn blender....im doing it...kinda
Petrichor is now being translated into Spanish by Francisco Bellón! Episodes will be posted on LatAm Webtoon Canvas 🌧

The Hiveworks Artist Guild has released a public statement alleging years of labor abuses, financial mismanagement, and misconduct at Hiveworks at the hands of Xellette “Xel” Velamist and Isabelle “Isa” Melançon. Read their full statement at:

This is like the other time I ordered "Thai Spicy" at a Thai restaurant...you would think I would learn my lesson to just go with medium spicy, but sometimes I just want the kick 🌶️
I decided to order "Indian Spicy" level at an Indian restaurant and am now suffering from my hubris
My 2025 art summary!
twitter could literally add a feature that sprays acid in your eyes every time you post and people would still use it

Going serious.
Homeland 🇵🇭 was devastated by back-to-back typhoon which destroyed a lot of homes and displaced families.
I am offering $10+ sketches. All profits will be donated to ChildHope Philippines, a local org providing basic needs to street children, the most vulnerable population rn

ARTISTS: there’s a scam going around where someone will commission you, you send the sketch and they will claim it’s AI and ask to be refunded.
• do not refund the person
• POST their @ - do not keep them censored
• ONLY send watermarked low res WIPs. it doesn’t matter if it’s a mutual or not.
