Google has backed down

Google has reversed its "no explicit content" decision. It seems that a lot of people actually like looking at porn on the internet—Stap me, what a surprise!

Moving to Tumblr

Thank you to everyone who posted messages encouraging me to continue. Actually, there's no chance of me quitting, I enjoy doing this stuff too much!

Anyway, I've moved to Tumblr. Apart from the flash animations, I've transferred all relevant images and movies that were posted here. There seems to be some technical issue with the flash animations (probably related to domain access) which I'll look into when I have some spare time.

Here is the tumblr link:

Time to get the hell outta Dodge...

Evidently the time has come to look for a new home. I just received the following from "The Blogger team":

Dear Blogger User,
We're writing to tell you about an upcoming change to the Blogger Content Policy that may affect your account.
In the coming weeks, we'll no longer allow blogs that contain sexually explicit or graphic nude images or video. We'll still allow nudity presented in artistic, educational, documentary, or scientific contexts, or where there are other substantial benefits to the public from not taking action on the content.
The new policy will go into effect on the 23rd of March 2015. After this policy goes into effect, Google will restrict access to any blog identified as being in violation of our revised policy. No content will be deleted, but only blog authors and those with whom they have expressly shared the blog will be able to see the content we've made private.

Any suggestions regarding a new location would be welcome. Hopefully a site where censorship isn't an issue.


Regards.

New comic, different style

I've recently been getting into raster (as opposed to vector) illustration. I'm a big fan of vector illustration (the kind that you produce using inkscape or Adobe Illustrator etc.) because of its elegance and ease of amendment. However, I also realize that, for detailed painting-style pictures, raster images (as produced by Manga Studio, Paint tool Sai, Photoshop etc.) are more flexible, and can give better results.

So here's the start of a new "Tableaux" comic, done in that style. This time, as an experiment, I'll be posting episodes as I complete them, so that blog updates will hopefully be a bit more regular. My idea is to run a few stories like this concurrently, and post updates when they're ready.

P.S. I'd like to thank everyone who has posted comments or suggestions. Even if I don't reply to them individually, they are all noted and appreciated.

Best wishes.
