October is almost here, I recently purchased an ISBN for Volume 1 of SaGia, and while I finish up Volume 2 of SaGia (now working on Chapter 9 as I was finished with 8 yesterday), I want to make a short post about AI and my thoughts about it as an artist, voice actress, and author. I previously talked about this in an old post of mine , but, I’ve been mostly quiet about it after that post until now.  Why? Because I’m afraid of talking about AI due to it being controversial. I was inspired by a post I read on Saturday. I feel like some social media places have been ruined due to AI. I’d say that Instagram or any other Meta platform is the worst offender because I remember hearing something about Meta using your data to train AI a while back and  some artists that I follow have left Instagram or no longer post and moved to a place called Cara. I’ve joined Cara as well because of some of my art friends being on there, but to be honest, it has issues and bugs sometimes and I regret...

I just posted on my Instagram about it, but I got my diploma in my email. I’m just waiting on it to get mailed to my address! And finally, hours after that email, I saw that my artworks were displayed at an art gallery (circled in image) as part of a Black Contemporaries project: the Tacoma Urban League! It’s my first time getting accepted at one. I thought I would be rejected, but nope! I will link the website below because I am on there. https://www.energizetacoma.org/blackcontemporaries Have a nice day! :)

When I checked TOMY Japan's website to see if there was another talking Pokémon plush similar to the Sprigatito and Fuecoco plushies released last year (which I own), I saw a talking Terapagos based on the anime (which I've never seen when it the series came out but I've seen an image of Liko holding her Terapagos)! I was hoping that they would release Quaxly, but sadly, they never did. Based on the translated description of the website, it acts similar to the two plushies. Basically, if you talk, it will respond, has a special voice command and it has a special feature on the plush (Sprigatito's feature was "petting" it's head (I tried saying it's Japanese name because some sites claim that if you say its name, it will react in a special way but it doesn't) and Fuecoco's was rubbing it's stomach and it had two commands: Hogeta (JP name for Fuecoco) and Hinoko (Ember in Japanese)).  I bought it from an eBay seller as a pre-order instead of ...

  The official cover art for the upcoming volume of SaGia is coming soon! 7 chapters, new adventures, new Sagians! Also, the book size will be different from volume 1. People who bought a copy of volume 1 have told me that they are looking forward to reading volume 2.  You can see the status on the official website (scroll to the bottom).  Buy a physical or digital copy of volume 1 here:  https://ko-fi.com/wimbearn/shop Note: If you live outside of the US and is interested in a physical copy, please message me first for shipping price before buying.

There are already "instructions" on how to use this thing. I will copy and paste here for archival. This is not the  official  instructions for Dr. Slump, It's just what we've been able to figure out. They are pretty accurate though. These are the half-decent instructions for Dr. Slump: Pull tab or hit reset first. First, you get a screen with a flashing month and day.  Put in YOUR birth date. Then you get a screen asking for  blood type (you can leave it as ? if you don't know).  Then you pick  gender. I don't know which option is boy or girl. :0\ Next, you get a screen to set what year it is.  After that, you set the actual date.  Set the time, and push the last button to see the little angel fluttering onscreen.      This is when all the fun starts to happen!   The first icon looks like an egg that's just hatching.   You press the first button and enter it by pressing the second (middle) button.  You get that ...

This one has been sitting in my drafts since July and it's time for me to finally post this. When I got a comment on my SaGia promo post on Threads about starting a comic for the first time, I gave them some small advice (I was typing at night and I was tired). Then I decided to expand on it through one of my long Threads . Even though not enough people saw it, I think it might've been helpful for those who want to start drawing comics. But, after thinking about that Thread for days, I've decided to expand on that topic and also the mistakes and frustrations I went through making SaGia. It's been a while since I've made one of these "tips" posts.  Before I begin, let me introduce myself. Hi, my name is Arnezia W., author and illustrator of my own original manga series, SaGia. Yes, that's me in the photo.
