Google finally did it. Is it time to switch to Firefox? I believe users should be in control of what they can install and use on their desktop or laptop. There's uBlock Origin Lite, which replaces the original uBlock Origin for Chrome and similar browsers. Give it a try.

[vim-official]

Nah. Ublock has my back. Chrome is no longer supported by ublock and I recommend you remove it

[janokenmun]

you can even import your chrome bookmarks & stuff:

Firefox lets you easily import bookmarks and other data from Google Chrome. This article gives you step-by-step instructions for getting it

[alexseanchai]

[image reads: "'uBlock Origin' was turned off. This extension is no longer supported. Chrome recommends that you remove it." the screenshot shows buttons labeled "Manage Extension" and "Remove".]

[ichorandpride]

by the way, here's my pastebin upload of the parameters you can import to ublock origin to block not only google's AI overview bullshit, but also youtube's ads + the popups they're trying to force now

i also suggest switching to firefox and installing ublacklist, which allows you to blacklist those shitty AI websites you find in google all the time

so here's a handy dandy github list for ublacklist to block a TON of ai image websites from google search results

"blah blah blah switch to duck duck go blah blah blah" and all that but ive personally had not so good experiences with it so honestly try it at your own discretion. but if you dont wanna stop using google as a search engine, then you can at least use the above to your advantage

Jo and I have to remind ourselves that we did in fact put a straight person in Arcanus: London Branch.

Arcanus: London Branch Ep 8 - Objectional Conversations

Read on Webtoons

Read on Tapas

Callum could talk for England. Or more accurately lie for England, he has a bright future ahead of him as a Conservative MP.

I decided to change things up with how I do paneling and color correction. Callum is one of my favorite characters to draw purely because of how dramatic and expressive he is. At this point he’s the only one Ash is truly comfortable being herself with in the Arcanus, so I  love showing their dynamic. Thank you Jo for giving me wonderfully cinematic scripts to work with.

I swear I totally remember I have tumblr....

Arcanus: London Branch Ep 7 - Demonic Disturbances

Read on Webtoons Read on Tapas

Meet Callum Finch. The Arcanus’ resident Legal Expert, Demon and Personnel Resources Department (it’s HR but includes non-humans). Message from the writer: When the idea of doing a comic turned from being the occasional goof into reality, one of the characters I was most excited to write for was Callum. To anyone who knows me that’s no surprise, for everyone else; I enjoy playing verbose dickheads. Someone who will absolutely insult you to your face, but is able to dress it up in flowery words. Which is Callum to a tee. I also go a little bit overboard when writing for him… Sorry Madd I absolutely love drawing Callum. I can literally  draw this bastard all day every day, and I shall! I’m still trying out new techniques and and coloring methods so hope you guys like my experimenting….

Bonus to anyone who can guess what Callum is whistling

Arcanus: London Branch Ep 6 - Family Ties

Read on Webtoons

Read on Tapas

We don’t get to choose the responsibilities we inherit from our parents, but some are more dangerous than others…

Meet Naoko Hashida, Head Archivist of the Idrian Arcanus and Yokai. The mouth on the back of the head isn’t just an affectation.

Arcanus: London Branch Ep 5 - A Brief Summary

Episode 5 is up and we finally have PLOT. Arcanus members must do a debrief after missions, and this is Ash’s first one. She’s not great at explaining things and gets a little too hyped about fighting monsters. Did I mention this is her first job ever? Her interviewer’s name Mikhail by the way… Story by Jo   Art by Madd (me)

Arcanus: London Branch Holiday Episode

We posted a cute little Holiday episode in December. Lassiel invites Ash to help him cook. Lassiel is my favorite of the NPCs. Jo did a fantastic job writing his dialogue.

Do you find drawing environments overwhelming? I did too, for a really long time. I started out drawing characters, and making the switch to painting environments was really hard at first! In my latest patreon tutorial, I break down the process into the most basic and essential steps, so that you don’t get lost in the details and know exactly what to focus on.

How to Make Your Art Look Nice: Thumbnailing

It’s here! For those artists who spend loads of time trying to figure out why their art is not coming out the way they want it to be, making thumbnails (or making studies) is the thing for you! It’s also great of getting rid of the habit of zooming in.

HEY KIDS WANNA SEE MY LINEART BRUSH SETTINGS

Honestly nobody asked for it XD. But hey! The PAIN of not knowing how an art humanoid does a thing is excruciating. If anyone is curious about how I do a thing please ask!
