"I write for my own enjoyment"

And

"I'm happy when people interact with my writing"

Are two sentences that can coexist!

Hey everyone, I know it's going to be a busy day for a lot of people, but Google enrolled everyone over 18 into their AI program automatically.

If you have a google account, first go to gemini.google.com/extensions and turn everything off.

Then you need to go to myactivity.google.com/product/gemini and turn off all Gemini activity tracking. You do have to do them in that order to make sure it works.

Honestly, I'm not sure how long this will last, but this should keep Gemini off your projects for a bit.

I saw this over on bluesky and figured it would be good to spread on here. It only takes a few minutes to do.

I've been thinking about doing this for a while xD

I feel proud of the coloring 🩷

I'm currently in the process of drawing a comic, and I have found myself struggling with the composition, specifically what angle a character should be viewed from, how to space the text bubbles, and how to have the characters and objects placed. So I was wondering if you have any advice to give on that? Thanks!

To be honest, coming up with the composition for a panel is a lot like shooting a movie. Different angles invoke specific emotions but also help draw your focus on what's important. Different angles are especially useful for fight scenes, since they give it a lot more momentum. I'd suggest taking inspiration from different media for it. Manga and Anime is especially good at that kind of stuff.

As for the text bubbles and the placement of the characters it's important to remember that the eye trails across a page like this:

So what you wanna do in composition is work with this flow and not against it.

The eye starts with the text box, wanders over to Kris, Frisk (and Susie), goes down to a noticing a distressed Chara and then it stops at the last text box. Though there are many MANY ways to handle this. But that is a simple example how to explain a decent flow.

Penelope: Yeah, this shroud is taking me 20 years.

Suitors:

Can we just take a moment to appreciate Scarecrow fawning over some flowers? Just don’t tell Ivy. I doubt she would be happy about him using them in his experiments.
