Mom feels better now. She is still really weak, but at least nothing threatens her health. So I'm less worried now and back to schedule. I missed one page last week so there will be 4 main story pages instead of 3.
Also I had two deadlines because of the V-Day. Luckily I got in time and now things are less complicated. The first drawing is above, it is collaboration work for Webtoons. I haven't seen the other parts yet. but really excited to take part in such a big collaboration. I have some artists in Russian community, but I'm kind of very lonely in foreign community. And I'm really happy that I finally find these guys.
However there are no other furries and that's a bit embarrassing but haven't caused any problems
A sudden drawing of Sasha.
Unimportant text that is just my anger about all the stuff that happened this week. I don't recommend to read it if you don't want to read anything aggressive or don't like people complaints
Last week we had a conflict with the furry "ask a character" group where Luka and Sheas were "born". Some of you might remember me and YumiCH left this ask group last summer because we got tired with how much we did but how bad we were treated by the ask group owner. So they got new administrators after we left. As soon as we left these guys have stolen the database I originally created. I didn't really mind that because I didn't want to harm the group and the database was programmed special for it. However when I offered to teach the new administration how to use it they just ignored me and created a copy without even bothering to erase all of my personal contacts. BTW they finally dropped the base because didn't understand how to use it
And last week it happened that one the new administrators has stolen her commissioners money and when he tried to contact her he just got banned. And the worst thing was that when he tried to reach other administrators, sent them proofs and just asked to talk he got rejected. And administration preferred to protect their colleague. Me and YumiCH couldn't stay silent and both did some posts shaming the group. Obviously they lost some of members and many subscribers. But their administration is still the same
Aaaaand, just a day later they stole again. This time they stole my idea and Google form I created two years ago for that ask group. These things were about the V-Day. Two years ago I came up with an idea of sending anonymous valentines through the Google form to the ask group characters. It is nothing THAT special actually. But it was Sheas who was delivering valentines and it was me who organized the whole process. And these guys just stole the whole thing, didn't change anything but presented it as if it is their very own and very special event.
I really wish I could stop these guys and close the ask group, but I just don't have power to do that. And it really disappoints me. I wouldn't mind to share everything I did for the group, because I loved it. But the current administration prefer to consider me as an enemy from the start. That's why they stealing all the good stuff, yup. And it is kind of painful for me and YumiCH to see how they spoil and kill the legacy we left for them
Another trigger happened when Russian platform vk.com launched "The expert system". The idea was nice: a group of special people called "experts" looks through the whole feed daily. They upvote or downvote the posts and this makes good works gain more views no matter how many subscribers the author had
Reality is disgusting. Everyone can become an expert, that's why 90% of them are aggressive inadequate kids. Like really, most of them are about 12 to 14 years old. They always fight in their chat, they upvote each other and downvote some really good authors because of jealousy.
I made a post where I told about my negative thoughts and guess what happened? One of the "experts" yelled at me. We had a huge talk, which can be shortened to this:
Expert: "Stop complaining and work harder, you lazy shit"
Airis: "Each week I create about 3 to 4 comic pages, up to 5 bonus arts, I'm a member of an ask group and I also have commissions to do. I doubt I can physically work harder"
E: "Nobody cares how hard you work. You content is shit, so it's you fault you lose subscribers"
A: "I never said I lose subscribers. I just said the expert system doesn't work for me"
And some other offensive words. Ah, Russian community ┐(︶▽︶)┌
So, why do I tell all of these? I just was drawing Sasha while that happened and now I'm triggering each time I see this art XD
It's either me who is stressed and overreacting, or it's a week of triggers. I just wanted to draw something cute with Victor and Shelby, but Russian community welcomed this drawing with "Ha-ha look who have fucked", "Wow it's porn time", etc.
So now I'm making another angry comics, because the hell is wrong with these people ┐(︶▽︶)┌
And another deadline I met last week is V-Day special for mine and YumiCH furry ask group. We have an event which it to give a kiss to a character selected by random. Random gave my Shiro guys Alice, who is actually YumiCH'es girl. These characters aren't in any kind of romantic relationship so I just decided to draw something cute and innocent
Meanwhile another nice artist got my Shiro guys, so this is her part for me
The next week is going to be hard, because I really lost time and now I have to put myself together before I lose the formed schedule. However, I'm very positive about the next week and hope to do my best!
