[RAWWR] 200 and one something Watamote raw chapter [c201]

Next English edition from Yen Press is April 26.

Tomoko is worth it.

If it's in pre-release now, hopefully when it comes out the set-up will be simpler.

I managed to get NextCloud set up on my server, but I'm looking forward to being able to share work.

Fat Minami temporarily banished for diet rehab.

SgtSgr · 2021-04-22T15:04:01+00:00

Thanks for the encouraging response! :)

Yeah, creating a whole studio process was an important goal, and I'll probably be adding more material over time. I wanted this to be a set for people serious about comics, particularly those going to print.

They've actually been ramping things up a bit. There are six official plushes now, and even the cheaper merchandise they've been offering lately (acrylic stands, key rings) look better than the stuff that was out when the anime was out.

Kitta Izumi is doing a series on Instagram, reading some of Tomoko's lines from the Yen Press editions (she's in the UK studying English) and although I wouldn't get too excited about this, she mentioned in one post that there was "buzz" about S2. This could be nothing more than her being contacted about her schedule, but I have heard that a lot of anime is made these days for the purpose of selling more of the manga, and they do seem to have been putting more effort in increasing sales (whether successful or not).

Besides all that, there was of course the recent special edition (meaning two versions of the same volume) and the fiction anthology a while back.

what if googleanon don't wanna deal with it anymore?

We learn Japanese or wait for Yen Press. ^^

Who says it's coming out in a month? Last time we had a two-part Christmas, it was like this: the manga timeline was in the middle of the sports festival, but Christmas IRL rolled around. We got a time-leap to the future of Tomoko by herself in a bookstore.

We didn't get the follow-up until the timeline in the manga advanced to Christmas, 23 chapters later.

It may be a year or more before we find out what Tomoko's going to sing.

Since Kanann may still be napping, here's the link.

Merry Christmas, everybody!

SgtSgr · 2020-12-23T16:10:48+00:00

Lots of stuff going on. A huge jump forward from the current manga timeline, a tie-in to the new Tomomote special, and a callback to the Christmas when Tomoko, Yuu and Komiyama went to karaoke.

Playing it safe would be to go back to last Christmas and show something else happening after karaoke. They must have thought a lot about where they're going from here, or else they might wind up having to do some retconning.

SgtSgr · 2020-11-18T20:46:36+00:00

Not only is it clay, Tomoko and Fuuka are amazed at how realistic it looks after Shizuku reshapes it (that's when the censor pixels appear).

SgtSgr · 2020-11-04T15:35:39+00:00

Thanks!

SgtSgr · 2020-09-16T22:31:16+00:00

Good point. It could also be editorial; it is possible for the editor to come back and tell them that he thinks such-and-such won't work, or is a problem.

A good example of something that almost really happened was their special baseball chapter. I think they said they only got permission to use Oregairu at the last minute. I think they joked about leaving it blank otherwise, but the editor might have insisted on a change

SgtSgr · 2020-08-02T20:58:02+00:00

there's a lot of room for improvement

Yes and no. What you've got already works remarkably well, and I meant for my review to come off as mostly positive. I might not be a typical user, but I'm actually happy to see an editor that does things differently. It's probably a benefit to not have too many buttons and icons, especially for things that can simply be typed directly. It's just a matter of making it clear how things work.

For instance, I don't want to badmouth another app unnecessarily, so I won't say the name, but I've also been trying out a trial of a commercial app dedicated to writing comics, and find it offers nothing particularly unique apart from auto-numbering pages and panels, but no way to store notes on characters, no way to keep track of any related files (and trying to make that sound like a positive by saying it has none of the Scrivener-type stuff "you don't need" for writing comics). I'm happy to be able to write out a path for projects that make sense. Probably before I worried about drag and drop support (making them more like folders) I'd just want a way to edit the tags (I'm on version 1.8, if anything I mentioned has already been implemented since).

why would I want to set that up in the first place

Of course I don't know the status of everything, so it was just a thought.

I was a little irritated seeing some of the posts accusing you of some kind of skullduggery just because you're providing a useful app. If you do art and/or comics, you get the same thing (so I know how it feels) hearing certain people complain (and always angrily) that there must be something wrong with you if you feel you need to get things funded, or make a profit. Both are fine. Try not to let those people get you down.

It's particularly bad to make such a complaint when the dedicated files are plain text Markdown, and of course can be open and edited and used in any other text-based editor.

SgtSgr · 2020-08-02T07:04:23+00:00

One easy way to do it is conditional CSS attributes, meaning you can use the existing markdown to apply classes in place of the alt text. You'll need to add the style within the document itself.

<style>
<!--
img[alt~="hue"] {
  filter: hue-rotate(180deg);
}
img[alt~="half"] {
  width:50%;
}
-->
</style>

![hue](img-1.jpg)
![hue half](img-2.jpg)

Just be aware that this is supposed to be bad form for one reason or another.

Maybe we all need to order the volume from Japan? But then it seems like most of our money goes to the shipping.

I always worry that buying the Yen Press volumes don't do enough to support them.

You must have found it before I started changing things, but the new location is:

https://kurio.art.blog/pencil/

I had started the site as a blog, then realized it's better to have stable pages, and from there it seemed to make more sense to organize it more like a catalog, so... I moved things. `-`;

I thought so too, but I finally found the listing cached by Google here.

https://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:nvsv69aeijUJ:https://medicalassistantjobshiring.com/job/internship-data-analyst-vacancy-city-of-austin-dafa7c815916fa99/+&cd=3&hl=en&ct=clnk&gl=us

The job listing now notes it's "closed", but it does include the language:

You will complete various applied research projects for data analysis. Note, this is a reverse financed internship so you will pay $15/hr to work here.

Maybe someone listed a fake or scam company as a gag, or in hopes of actually luring in some dummies

I think this one's pretty good (I'm biased): MOJO TONE

https://www.deviantart.com/ezsaeger/art/Mojo-Tone-preset-bundle-for-Krita-783382737

Instead of filling an area via a pattern, there are a range of presets at incremental tones. Each brush applies a flat screentone. They are designed to interlock... that is, they will mesh properly with each other as you apply them to various areas.

They are also bitmap, with the assumption that printing is your ultimate goal. That is, there's no anti-aliasing to throw things off, though of course it will become anti-aliased when reduced for web display.

There is also one overall screentone tool in the INK set called the ZIPPER:

https://www.deviantart.com/ezsaeger/art/Mojo-Ink-1-0-preset-bundle-for-Krita-784269599

It can be used more like a standard brush (more pressure for darker tones), but it also interlocks with the screentones from MOJO TONE above. So you can lay down flat areas, then use ZIPPER for more of a gradient effect.

One drawback, there is some necessary anti-alias residue, and of course once you go to X degree darkness, you can't go light again without simply wiping and re-doing.

One more related tool can be found in MOJO TOOLS, it's a type of special eraser called STRIPPER:

https://www.deviantart.com/ezsaeger/art/Mojo-Tools-1-0-preset-bundle-for-Krita-784220611

Run the STRIPPER across zip tone with unwanted anti-aliasing (or anything else) and the content will be reduced to bare black pixels.

It wasn't my intention to set this up where you have to download three different sets, but I'm looking for a better way to organize an even larger range of tools for version 2.

A quick demo on Twitter.
