Old Dogs

Cover page

Silas Brown has been skirting by on his luck and charisma for years, and now it's all but run out. Trying to start fresh in a new country, he's only falling back into the same patterns he had back home - and on top of this, somehow contracted lycanthropy. Struggling with these new explosive outbursts -and facing the reality that he could lose his job- Silas decides to lean into his bad habits and become even more impulsive. Enter Stuart: a homeless man he met at the pub and offered a place to stay.

Leafing tumblr in a month, just a heads up! You can find me on Comicfury and FA still, same name as here https://jcorrachcomics.cfw.me/blogarchive/46383/

[jcorrachcomics]

Heads up, taking a hiatus and now that I think of it, likely going to be deleting twitter and/or tumblr later on, but for now I'm just not checking them regularly

the sites are losing (even more) functionality and I havent had fun on either place in a loooooong while

Not leaving the internet entirely, nor for ever, but heres a bit more info on the what and why

stay safe out there everyone

A bit more of Ambroys' and Hyden's relationship, back before Hyden got frozen. Maybe the unicorn cared a little more for "legacy" than Hyden thought.

I keep meaning to get back to using tumblr again but I don't know if I can even link my comic here with their weird inconsistent censorship rules anymore o)-(

I might be able to get away with it if I link to the homepage each time, cos that's sfw, but I'm not sure

If anyone's got some tips for me, even if it's just "nah thats a bannable offense" I would love to hear them

RE: Tumblr selling data to GenAI companies. (prev reblog.)

At this point I'm truly wondering what to do, really. (Glaze your art and so on, sure) But even the words we write, our personal thoughts, asks, everything is getting fed into these fucking machines from any site available. "Make your own page!" - Services like Squarespace, which are what I and most of my peers use, have sneakily added the option to allow third-party crawlers to harvest data. And portfolio websites are not social media. I want to interact and I have to reach clients.

Are we reaching the point where we have to post only previews and send finished art via Newsletters or post behind paywalls? Print it out and send a pigeon to our followers' homes?

I'm so fucking tired. So angry.

I've been an artist through life-threatening depression, through working and studying full time, through moving house and country, through the pandemic.

And this? This might just be what breaks me.

[snuffysbox]

Yeah.

Especially the point about portfolio sites not being social media. I post to twitter because that's where my professional peers are. It's where you can get approached by potential clients or collaborators. I post to tumblr because it's where my fandom peers live, where I can facilitate a gallery with a semblance of an archival and tagging system, where I've posted my art for over a decade.

If I just wanted to post art with no interaction and no feedback, I could probably do that pretty easily. But that's not why I share my art online.

The continued hostility, commodification and devaluation of artists online is making a lot of us question why we even bother anymore. Platforms that were made successful on the backs of artists are all suddenly turning on their core userbase in order to turn a profit. Like, I get it, websites have to make money and if you don't pay for the product, you are the product, yadda yadda yadda. But I gotta assume there are ventures they could explore other than wholesale theft of their userbase's copyrighted content.

And they all handwave it away by pointing to the TOS as if anyone could've known that by signing a standard agreement to have your content hosted on the site sometime in like fucking 2010 for some of us, you'd be agreeing to having your data scraped by third parties years and years down the line. And I get that TOS can change, but tumblr has no way to effectively purge your content from the platform (that I know of), so it's not like you can do much about it if you've been posting here for a decade.

It's just. so tiring.

[jcorrachcomics]

christ on a bicycle, are we sticking around here through the ai bs or are we all finally getting off this awful website once and for all?

Ambroys and Hyden being rich cads together, chatting about golfing, fine cigars and country clubbing.

[barbatusart]

emergency money situation has just arisen so i will be officially opening Music Commissions in the morning, standby. (paypal.me/bbbarbatus if youve enjoyed what i do & are a fabulously wealthy secret admirer/patron of the arts who'd be interested in saving my ass right about now)

[barbatusart]

did my first 24 hour comic day!

[shyangry]

Hi everyone, as some of you probably already know, I broke my elbow last month. I'll be out of work for several months recovering and me & my wife are struggling without my income. If you see this and are at all able to, I'd really appreciate if you could put a couple of dollars into my ko-fi just to help us make rent. I can't offer any art in exchange right now, but if you're interested in that, message me and we can work something out when I'm healed up.
