I was pretty against it for a long time myself.
I like it because I get a lot of news I care about that I otherwise wouldn't know, and well, the site is as engaging as you let it be so it's nice.

Yemen, a poor country with immense violence, is now facing yet another crisis that has taken the lives of more than 1,300 people.
“We are now facing the worst cholera outbreak in the world,” health officials said in a statement released June 24 by the World Health Organization (WHO). In certain cases, Cholera can cause severe dehydration from diarrhea and vomiting, among other symptoms.
An outbreak which officials have described as “unusual" has spread to nearly every region of the war-ravaged country in just a couple short months. A quarter of those who have died are children, “and the death toll is expected to rise,” UNICEF Executive Director Anthony Lake and WHO Director-General Margaret Chan said in the statement.
In early June, UNICEF (United Nation’s Children’s Fund) officials announced cases may quadruple in July 2017 rising to 300,000, The New York Times reported.
UNICEF, WHO, and other partners are fighting to stop the the cases from spreading.
The country’s civil war has left more than 14 million people without regular access to clean drinking water, which is how the disease spreads. When a person ingests water or food contaminated with the bacterium Vibrio cholerae, it can cause an infection in their intestines. Although there’s often no symptoms, a small number of people infected can experience uncomfortable side effects. Signs of severe cholera include: watery diarrhea, vomiting, rapid heart rate, loss of skin elasticity, low blood pressure, thirst, muscle cramps, and restlessness or irritability.
Being infected with cholera is not a death sentence; however, immediate and proper care are necessary. Treatment includes rehydration, IV fluids, and antibiotics, as well as zinc treatments for children. In Yemen, thousands of health officials are working to control the outbreak which shows no signs of slowing, but they are also facing issues of their own.
“An estimated 30,000 dedicated local health workers who play the largest role in ending this outbreak have not been paid their salaries for nearly 10 months. We urge all authorities inside the country to pay these salaries and, above all, we call on all parties to end this devastating conflict,” the statement concludes.

Next entry Riften?
oh... I could imagine that gif wouldn't load, but the whole thing...
Tell me pls, do you see this pic?

The whole idea about this slaughter was that we don't know for sure what happened there. So, I just made my guesses.
Nice work, Crw. Compliments for the story and effects.
Maybe we still need the gif category in Tirloques library after all. I like that you tried something new, but I don't think just adding bubbles is worth the effort. Most of the time they are so fast that you can't read them anyone and I'd prefer to keep it static.
On the other hand it looked good in the action scene. Maybe it's worth exploring the addition of special effects via gifs, but looping. So basically there's an image and you add a splashy effect on top of it and keep looping it so the effect gets reapplied. That might be interesting.
Great job nonetheless and some nice effects as usual!
The dialogues between Gwen and Abigail are just too amusing at times ("Let's pay an unfriendly visit to those suckers" 😂). Great job with those.
And on the second too... The bubbles itself doesn't worth the effort. Time consuming, looks wired. I can make them appears slower, but it will have significant impact on a gif size. Like x2 or even more. So yes, just as experiment and new experience.
Image B the same screenshot but with some blood and a SLASH or so.
Then you you loop them which may create some interesting looks and might fit your style very well.
Shipping with Gwen? Hmm, well... Anything can be dildo if you are brave enough.
if my eyes doesn't deceive me is that a new redhead in your game Hahhahaha.
Brutal entry! Didn't expect the arm severing in front of the three death hounds ; yet I must admit it was excellently rendered in terms of effects and dramatization. Also liked the integration of the vigilants wiping-out into the story (which makes a lot of sense). As Alter said however, the duration of the gifs is too fast paced, and so prevents the reader from enjoying the image, even supposing he focuses on the bubbles to keep-up. Technically this is still a prowess, but I wonder if we aren't getting close to the limits of it. Yet between the fight, the arm severing and the effects (the hound biting Abigail's weapon for example), the entry beign SFW or not becomes irrelevant : we are entertained!
The like button Tex! The green thumb at the right corner of the first post....
I wonder what @SpyVsPie would think about that.
Now, I could rebrand the GIFs category as "animated", but the question of how much of an being animated would be sufficient to prime over the basic nature (comic, subtitled, illustrated text) of the content would remain.
And for that a simple still image to slideshow tool (such as Wax 2.0e) and then a mpeg4 compressor could do the trick. It's more work than a still comic though, but probably comparable (and simpler) than what you're doing currently with GIFs.
Malicia : « You're being very deceived Mr Prince : it's Abigail, she's very pretty, very intelligent, and she was there since Rose escaped from jail, yes.
In general, I that I will leave this trick for an action scenes. And ll get rid of this appearing bubbles, or at least will use it only when it will matters somehow. And yea, you are very right. Enjoying the image. The faster this happens, the less time we have to enjoy the picture itself. In all senses.
But is looks cool.
Each format has its pros and cons. As for the viewing time, the still images indeed do not limit it, while animated formats necessarily will. But that doesn't prevents from adjusting the durations. I think in fact regarding videos the obstacles would come from the sharing platform (adult only), and from the sound aspect (DRM free music only, same for sounds). But technically it's not that hard to do. And the time investment, as it would be yet another layer of work added over conception -> screenshooting -> comic layer -> video from the comic.
Anyway, I'm still considering getting redesigning the library's categories ; but you have some time before that happens, and I'm not sure yet about the GIFs category.
Rose: « Oh, well, you know...the horse-boy sticking his pee-pee into the human-girl and then they go honey-honey and that's how the centaurs were invented, you see?
And second - I couldn't resist. I'll just leave this here.
Cyber arms for all!
Do Preferences for Waterscapes Persist in Inclement Weather and Extend to Sub-aquatic Scenes?

Abstract Water is often a feature of preferred landscapes. Three experimental studies explored possible boundary conditions and extensions of this finding. Study 1 examined the role of weather and found that landscape preferences were moderated by climatic conditions. While waterscape preferences were significantly higher under clement than inclement conditions, urban/built landscape preferences were unaffected. Studies 2a and 2b explored reactions to sub-aquatic compared to above the waterline views, using colour and monochrome images respectively. In both cases, reactions to sub-aquatic scenes were broadly similar to those of green space. Findings are discussed in terms of possible evolutionary, cultural and personal mechanisms.We.
If you are set on getting a commission from an artist from SDCC, Artist Alley is a great place to do so. Again, there are so many artists here that you can choose from and what’s nice is that they probably will have examples of their work to sway your decision. The rule of thumb here is to try to get on their commission list early because more often than not, spots will fill up quickly for the day. There’s an artist that I follow on Instagram from the UK that opened up his commission list early before SDCC and I jumped at the chance to get on his list. And, artists will have different tiers for commissions from just sketches to inked pieces or multiple characters, etc. So the skies are limitless, depending on how much that money is burning a hole in your pocket!
Like I mentioned before, I typically walk Artist Alley looking for the art to grab my attention. What’s cool about Artist Alley is that the possibility of discovering new art is very high. Most of the artists have done some comic work in the past and learning about them makes Artist Alley a treasure trove. I was perusing an artist’s table a few years ago at SDCC and really
