I believe EVS on this. Being asked 4000$ for a massively late cover? I would have a problem too. That is money people kill over. Might as well buy lottery tickets with that amount of cash.

“Lol he was shocked I’d charge $4000 to draw a comic cover, what a loser!”

I think that’s a fairly common response, actually.
I'm remembering that YF's complaint was that he saw the rates EVS gave to his friends compared to the one he got and was offended. I'm not gonna say who was right in that scenario, but it's an effective way to see where you stand with someone when they have a "Friend Rate" and "Not Friend Rate". This was also around the time EVS was leaning hard into the Dax/Eric drama and YF wanted no part of it.
 
I'm pretty sure Yellow Flash shat his pants when I quoted him $4000 for the cover he wanted. He isn't even paying his artist.

Didn't you also ask for a percentage of sales? And of course the artist isn't getting paid. As part owner, he hasn't earned any money on sales yet. Funny how you keep leaving that part out.

Yeah I forgot till you brought it up.

I remember shane and frog wanted the commission and a percentage of sales on covers.

@FROG Fancies himself Leonardo Divinci,
"you want a cover fuck you pay me" not only does @FROG watch Soprano's he watches good fellows. Too bad your a Huckster @FROG, not a gangsta. A gagsta not a G.
 

How is he mad about customers getting their products on time. What happens to "muh hotdog vendor".
And he keeps making this assumption that his comics are “great”. If they were so great, Zack, you wouldn't be just reaching your campaign goals at the last minute all the time. You wouldn't be losing subscribers and purchasers.

This is a business, if you haven't realized it already, Zack. Eric doesn't need to always say that his are "late and great"; he reposts his audience's YouTube videos and tweets of their approval of the comic books.

At least make an attempt to release your books on the month and year you said you'd release them. Or just pull a Far-Fetched or a Cyberpunk 2077 (before they shit the bed) and just say the date it will come out is "before you die" or "when it's ready". But you don't want to do that since that likely means that you won't get a lot of support; at this point, it's borderline false advertising because now it seems like you know your shit will be late all the time.
 
I admit to falling for the lie that these guys spun.
I honestly believed this whole thing was going to amount to something.
Didn't find my way into Gamergate, so I guess I just missed the obvious.

Oh well.
Consider the biggest egg on my face. As I have studied more on Gamergate via the various Jimlogging Youtube channels, I've pieced together that honestly: Comicsgate is a bargain bin version of Gamergate.

Now that my job has me co-existing with other gamers and learning the ground level of all of this, it's so obvious that the issues that founded CG were completely off target. Just like Gamergate, the issues fell to personality conflicts, not the fucking Marxism and Current Year Brain Rot.

I'm not ashamed to say that I've watched a few sunsets wondering if any of this was worth it; or if it was all a distraction to keep me from sleeping in the Nether.

God only knows what's next. It's an election year and 9/10 things that only happen in a single lifetime have happened in 8 months (so far). It's anyone's guess what'll go down in the smoldering crater of CG. Even Ethan's trying to escape it by pleading with Dick Masterson to bring him in as 3rd man. I'm still betting Zack'll come out as gay this year though. Trump said 2024 would be a year all truths would be revealed.

Not until you Personal Army Eric July for me.

I was looking for a piece of CG lore here. As retarded as most of you faggots have become, this thread is still a good archive.

Hope you're well.
You are to pedos and faggots as Liefeld was to pouches and shoulderpads. Have a great day!

I made this handy chart for @FROG to look at. He should print it out and hang it up in his room and look at it every single day.
Allow me...

Wonder what's the asking price for actual legends such as John Byrne or Mike Mignola

Is he really gonna illustrate this comic via AI ? Has he mentioned at any point he's going to get a real artist?
 
Mike Mignola
Mignola did an Earthworm Jim 2 cover and got bullied into withdrawing it, so probably the same crap would happen there. Yellow Flush is mad that Warcampaign got the EVS Vestige cover for free, that is the real source of this gripe

Richard says he will hand draw it, like his original pre-CG failed Jawbreakers on kickstarter.

A&N and anything behind Private tags as well.

I was just surprised you hadn't (yet) identified him as a lolcow, or at least worthy of some criticism.
There has been criticism of Eric and his work. You've glossed over it because you aren't looking for criticism, you're looking for frothing at the mouth alogging.
I've seen some call him a lolcow but his nascent lolcowness is a twinkling star next to the blazing inescapable sun that is your lolcowdom.

finish your comics you fat invalid.jpg

Hey Captain Manning! How are ya?
Posts like this reveal the dire need of a Homosexual sticker.

Well I think he's interesting.
He snatched your Counter Culture Comics Crusade Crown and did what you set out to do better and more successfully than you and your life revolves around him now because he's the new Comics Caesar and you're once again a nobody and you absolutely can't fucking stand it.
 
Epic lol

Takes like this is why I have mad respect. To be fair to Comicsgate it has made money on projects, Gamergate never did,
That's kinda a little too generous with the evs sketch. He's at least 10 times bigger.
but the concept is correct, and the art is better than 90 percent of cg projects

Another thing is FROG is running with this narrative that Flash isn't paying his cover artist for the book he's working on, when it has been made clear several times now that the artist has agreed to be paid a percentage of the book sales.

Is that a smart arrangement? I dunno, but if it's mutually agreed upon by both parties beforehand, why should I even give a fuck? It's a private business deal between two private parties.

FROG's post almost makes it seem angry that he didn't manage to get $4k out of Flash, and Flash decided to go with something else.

FROG seems way more concerned about how his critics are paying for shit, and far less concerned about his own customers getting the product they paid for a long time ago. FROG casting aspersions about other people's shitty business practices is just too much.
He makes more money with less effort by focusing on his drama streams, than if he was to put on actual work. As long as he says something negative about other people he used to associate with then it's good business for him. The problem is that at some point you run out of negative things to say and you just have to scrape the bottom of the barrel which makes you look, well makes you look like FROG.

Part of the issue is if you team up with people Like Dick Masterson, Vito, Riley and Mint Salad you are at the bottom of the barrel, there is no more bottom.

There is no more bottom unless you include only fans with bottom stuff . @FROG has the wardrobe to be an only fans troon.

So, my guess is he'll use AI as "a reference" and then trace over it and correct the most egregious errors while he does that. Which is a shame, because if a talented artist drew it, it might at least have a few pages worth looking at.

Well, a few people managed to use GamerGate to scam people out of money, like Jenny Bharaj.

But he has to. It's what generates attention. Remember: you're only as good as the last work you publish. This means that if he releases a new comic and it's not well recieved then he's done. So instead of doing that he can just delay it for as long as he can while making drama streams and keep associating himself with controversial people. This provides him a steady revenew to have a nice life and pay pigs to sign up to his backer page.

Way less if I had to guess.

Mignola did an Earthworm Jim 2 cover and got bullied into withdrawing it, so probably the same crap would happen there. Yellow Flush is mad that Warcampaign got the EVS Vestige cover for free, that is the real source of this gripe
One gets free and the other gets fucked. Cutting ties with EVS is perfectly understandable if that is how he acts personally and professionally.

It has a David vs Goliath feel, does it not? An amateur creator snatching victory from an established talent by being humble and easy to work with.
