Diseased #Comicsgate - The Culture Wars Hit The Funny Books!

[GPRIMACADO]

When all this was announced didn't he say he had a team of top-notch toy designers from like Mattell or the like who "think like us" so had to stay anonymous and they were giving him such a special deal that he just had to put his comics on hold to do it right then? I seem to remember that and it wasn't entirely believable. I told him here at the time it would be a disaster.

I knew looking at the 3d files designs that whoever he commissioned had the sculpting prowess. However the techniques used in the figure as in wrist joints, elbow hinges were phased out by 2004... in modern figures. Now Ethan could have requested the figure to look retro, however the production model there was a mention by Ethan they had to do redesign parts due to issues.

Now a professional 3d model designer is going to do a LOT of 3d print tests. Mainly resin printer like Elegoo Mars. Joint tests, size tests, redesigns etc.
Then the files transfer to Chinese company, they do tests on metal molds and make sure sharpness of details.

As to him doing it right, he should have done more research before going ham.

Lmao you guys are painting a pretty grim picture and I mostly believe it. I can see him desperately scrounging up all the superchat money to plug up the holes he dug.

The stress has to be worse than rekieta having his contract negotiation looming. Nick has his alcohol, evs has his pies. Have another slice, ethan!

Also, Mirua should practically be Ethan's spirit animal. They both are known for having huge gaps between published works. Berserk was infamous in that regard.

Even a late Miura, the one that took months to release a chapter, would be a great spirit animal for Ethan... But the early Miura just shits on Ethan and pretty much everyone. The guy was releasing 20+ pages every 14 days for 10 years with almost zero breaks. I still dont know how he was able to pump that quality stuff out so quick.

Just look at that 93-03. Insane.

You know, it is funny how Ethan spent all his money like a hood nigger compared to the guy who is both black and an ex-gang banger from the hood. Jesus Christ that is fucking embarrassing. Juju seems to attract a certain kind of man. Men who hate their wives and kids and resent having to be fathers, who want to relive the glory days of their youth by fucking every ho that walks past them that has a pair of tits, and who are also wiggers.

Comics people are f'ing weirdos.


Have you seen the Salamandroid doll with fully articulated tail? It's huge and probably has 100 parts.

Those aren't the action figures.

Those are the PVC figures from the first campaign.

No articulation, just bendable.

Wait, so there's at least 2 versions of the SIDE CHARACTER?! Yo this manchild to businessman ratio in EVS's brain is out of whack!

No, an action figure of the big lizard with the tail was never made,

He's stated that since it's going to be so expensive, he wants to do a separate IGG campaign for it, probably along with more variants of the existing toys, but he hasn't done it yet.

Ah. I googled it hours ago and it was listed as "action figure" on ebay for like 25-30 usd. Can't be that big...

That's what happens when you actually love your craft and aren't just dicking around. That kind of schedule takes a toll on your health though which was probably part of the reason he slowed down. Shonen Jump has enforced breaks for Oda because he almost worked himself to death. Although that kind of work ethic is par for the course in Japan anyway.

Yea, the mangaka actually take their work very serious, especially if they are just starting. Oda taking breaks is smart, as the guy has been drawing that shit for like 25 years now. Even tho he does have help from assistants, which lots of previous mangaka in the past didnt have, as most of them just had one guy helping... the most crazy story i read was that Toriyama slept for just 20 minutes in a span of 6 days to finish a chapter... so i am not surprised these guys have health issues.

What do you bet that, like Lowtax, EVS bought a shit ton of gourmet pies from Goldbelly?

I don't think Ethan has the patience or forethought to order pies on the internet. He just rolls on down to the closest grocery store or bakery any time he needs to stuff his gullet. Or more likely, has his wife do it.

Quite optimistic of you to think he's even that well put together, he just has cases of those gas stations pie treats so he can have his pie on the go quickly because of his busy schedule of being a professional retard on the Internet.

 

[Captain Manning]

Close. But the obsession is more with following the orders of a middle-aged failed LA comedian and his fat greasy openly pedophile sidekick. The Comedian peaked out in 2008 but still believes he is going to be a star someday. He is convinced he can get a TV show if he just beats that field nigger hard enough

Yep.

Rekieta threw in because Dax is his e-daddy. That gave us such gems as him thinking Alphacore wouldn't make a million, and an even more absurd claim that his affluent white ass grew up in the hood. Result: Lolcow of the Year, 2023. Granted, there was other non-related funny, like MANdy, but the July stuff definitely helped get him that award.

Meanwhile, Ethan opportunistically threw in because he saw all the rest of them going after the guy that's helping make Ethan look like the drain circling grifter he's been for a long time now.

The alternative is EVS actually upping his game, but I guess that's just too much to ask.

I maintain Ethan throwing in with the side that has the jilted pedo, and the fat greasy crack addict stalking July, is probably the dumbest single thing he's ever done. I would have thought he would have learned from his Warcampaign experience that not all opposition is good opposition. I guess he just likes the taste of shit.

In the end, I suspect Ethan now knows he took a wrong turn here. His video praying that Vito is not really a pedo was funny (I got bad news for you, Ethan), and even he couldn't take Rekieta's drunken monologue about the greatness of American Beauty. He managed to fall in with a group of people dumber and more unsavory than his usual stream buddies.

Just so you get a sense of scale, those are 4 inch figures [1/18], Cyberfrog is 6-7 inches [1/12]

Salamandroid in scale with 1/12 line would be at least 2 feet tall...

He said it cost him $200k for one figure. I can imagine at the same company and 3d modeler we're talking 1 million plus designing and mold making by his standards he knows.

Meanwhile if Ethan had gone 4 inch route with Cyberfrog, Salamandroid would have been 12-13 inches tall. Which is doable since same height as 1/6 scale figures that are produced.

Even his replies call out this gay shit. I guess Ethan wants to be Lolcow of the Year 2024...

It is funny how the ex-gang banger from the hood is more professional, has better business sense, and has a better work ethic then the fat, middle age has-been with 30+ years in the industry. What do you bet that, like Lowtax, EVS bought a shit ton of gourmet pies from Goldbelly?

it really is funny. Goes to show just having a good idea or good art isn't good enough, you need to be able to SELL SELL SELL and that's always a real hard part especially once you go to scale you have logistics and suppliers and shit to worry about while still being profitable. Too much work for the lkes of EVS I guess.

It is a shame most I knew about EVS was his fatrick segments I've seen clips of online I wasn't expecting him to sperg out or side with vito the pedo.

 

[huckbeine]

jeebus christ, why did EVS think that making action figures of his shitty ip is a good business plan?

 

[Strix454]

Ethan keeps digging the hole deeper. He used to be able to get away with this kind of stuff. But its not 2019 anymore. I think he has thrown almost everything he has at Eric July and Ethan is still on the defensive. He also doesn't have anyone left around him who isn't trash. He supposedly was so desperate he reached out to Ro and Pan for help. But even his most loyal simps like Cecil are having real thoughts about the wisdom of this war. Even his threats to purge comicsgate (again) are not getting the reaction I think he expected.

Doubling down on the debate thing when its not working doesn't make much sense. But at this point he probably doesn't have much choice.

 

[That Other Dude's Persona]

jeebus christ, why did EVS think that making action figures of his shitty ip is a good business plan?

Vanity. He had a Cyberfrog toy deal that fell apart at the last minute ages ago, he's trying to relive glory days that never existed.

You hear people like Lopresti and Kelsey (and even Davis with his weeb stuff) talk about comics and art, and you can tell that they love the medium. EVS doesn't talk about comics or artists or stories, just about himself. A comic is always just a product or a gimmick that he's trying to shill. His art is an ugly mess of detail, but he's proud of it because he spends bottles of ink drawing a character's hair. It's so masturbatory.
