the purpose of a system is what it does
Jonathan Djob Nkondo has helped shape some of the most visually striking animation of the last decade — from Gorillaz’ new short film to Scavengers Reign. Now he’s bringing his own stories to the world on Kickstarter. bit.ly/4rNwn5N #ScavengersReign #GraphicNovels #MagneticPress #Gorillaz #Animation

What makes me so fucking mad is
I never hurt anyone. The vast, overwhelming majority of nsfw creators and sex workers dont.
We get cut off from the ability to use-the-dollar but all the sick fucks that hurt people, both directly and indirectly, every single day, never get even a slap on the wrist

I love this sentence, lol
Oh yeah, I see what you mean. You can experiment with pushing the shading darker on the area between the nose & top lip. While keeping the top lip lighter, you could shade the portion of the bottom lip right where they connect.
It’s a tough angle to light, I hope this is helpful.
This is honestly really good. You might wanna push the shading on the top lip slightly, but that’s nit picking at this point.
I would say your best bet for fast improvement is moving on & drawing more iterations to continue developing your visual library & shape language.
This dystopian future is here now.

Thank you Flylo, Big Mama elevating my spirit today. 😌
You should be able to criticize your government anonymously online.
Full stop.
"Age verification" legislation is just a pretty name for "forced online ID checks," meaning everything you post is associated with your government name
We have to stop this.

New from 404 Media: Proton Mail, the privacy-focused email service, gave authorities data that let the FBI unmask an anonymous 'Stop Cop City' protester. It was payment data linked to the anonymous email account. From that, FBI ID'd them, then tracked their movements www.404media.co/proton-mail-...
This week, in the Prairieland case, Texas prosecutors are attempting to equate anarchism with terrorism.
While masked thugs in plainclothes assault and abduct people around the country.
While bombs destroy hospitals and elementary schools in Iran.

They are torturing and killing people in our concentration camps, and I wish more people were actively bothered by that
therapy?
At a recent zine fest, I circulated a little manifesto against using AI for protest flyers and wound up talking about AI with a bunch of folks. the most common sentiment I picked up was: "At least I only use it for this, not for that."
Be in alliance with us, not antagonistic. Tons of libs are part of my broad alliance because they can tolerate & hear me. They throw some of what I say out, just like I throw some of what they say out.
Y'all gone realize one day or another that if you strive for true change the far left is your friend, not your enemy. Yes anarchists are your friends who want something way, way, better than this crap, who are working for aims that benefit you if you can be tolerant & tap in.
perfect representation of the vicious asininity of our persecution and the banal mechanisms of its implementation: these regular-ass people, the staff at the dmv, dutifully inflicting whatever absurd degradation they're told, no matter how blatantly, cruelly pointless. would you do that? will you?
I was born in an Iranian prison. My parents were held in their jails. My uncles lie in their mass graves. Nothing you can tell me about the crimes of the Iranian regime that I haven't lived in blood and bone. That doesn't mean I want my people bombed, maimed, killed, their homes in ruins. If your vision of liberation comes only through the destruction of innocent lives, then it's not freedom you're after. Sahar Delijani, Iranian author
I am pro Iranian people. I stand with them against their own government’s repression AND against the imperial violence in the form of bombs dropped from the sky from Israel & the US who have already killed hundreds.
I support neither imperialism or dictatorship.
Sahar Delijani said it best:
Two figures stand in an alleyway at night in winter. The trees are bare. The houses, stark and angular. A gigantic condo looms behind them, its facade lit up by the moon. Two young women emerge from the dark. A younger one and and an older one. The younger one has long dark hair, she wears a toque and puffy coat. She has rectangular glasses. She lights a cigarette while the older one looks on. The older one has her long dark hair tied in a ponytail. She has a fringe of hair resembling an up arrow. She wears a scarf and black peacoat. She has round glasses. She observes the younger one take a puff. The younger one says "Dad would kill me if he knew I was smoking." The older one implores "pleae let your big sister be a laign influence on you." She turns to look her sister in they and points out "you only turn nineteen once! Celebrate by indulging in newly legal vices!"

no war no borders no cops no prisons no to all of this shit
Picture of Marjane Satrapi alongside a quote from her. The quote reads: The world is not divided into countries. The world is not divided between East and West. You are American, I am Iranian, we don't know each other, but we talk together and we understand each other perfectly. The difference between you and your government is much bigger than the difference between you and me. And the difference between me and my government is much bigger than the difference between me and you. And our governments are very much the same... - Marjane Satrapi, Iranian-French graphic novelist
Thinking about this quote from Persepolis creator Marjane Satrapi again.
