Soooo, how do you guys feel knowing it's over?

Get a career in professional animation, obviously.

We had a thread about that yesterday, but it got deleted, somehow...

>"The end"

>(At least for now)

>It's only the regular monthly strip that is completed, but new stories and works from the Sabrina-verse will pop up from time to time.

Interesting to see it end its monthly updates, but at the same time I feel like he won't be able to detach himself from it well enough to actually work on other things diligently. By saying the above stuff, he's opened himself to reengage it whenever he wants, and that could be 5 years from now, or it could be tomorrow.

>No matter what you do you're never going to wake up to the sound of 56k dial up and your favorite usenet boards and geocities haunts, with a rental from blockbuster and your snack and soda sitting by the VCR as rain patters on the window and you have a gaming magazine to leaf through before your friends come over to play Goldeneye with pizza and maybe you'll trade some pokemon with your new link cable and then see what's new on TOTSE or fire up Kazaa and try to download an album while hopping on the battlenet to do Baal runs with your buddies on US East.

Eric is in his 40s right now and he's been doing Sabrina for almost half his life now. It had to end at some point.

>borne back
>ceaselessly
>in to the past

I don't miss dial-up at all.
Fuck having a 56k modem. I only know that feel because my family was too poor for broadband when I was a boy.

Pretty indifferent, tee-bee-ache. The comics was never that good and the only reason people care about it is because of sexy skunk girl

At least K&K will never ever end.

A Redtail's Dream has a definite ending.

but his porn is only so-so

Well at least it ended rather than just stopping like so many webcomics I enjoyed. And that's good I guess.

And that is more than enough in the furry community, where people will shill out +4k for a commission.

>All of these extensive time sinks from random souls across the world
>Don't even know they exist
>There's some dude out there spending half of his life drawing and creating one thing and I'll never glance at the first page

Passion projects, man. They can consume a man.

>the only reason people care about it is because of sexy skunk girl

What about the squirrel milf and the tiger-skunk slut?

Here.

>What about the squirrel milf
Stopped being relevant years ago

>and the tiger-skunk slut?
Got her ending

Well.... this doesn't interest me in the slightest.

>comic ends in a furry insemination scene

well i didn't know what i expected

>mfw Im above average as an artist but cant even earn enough furbux for rent

You should shill for the fetishes that pay the most. Like macro.

Basically, the rarer the kink, the more money people are willing to throw.

lol, how is this not deleted by the assblasted furry-hating mod yet?

I think animation might be even worse though.
Look at this,

vimeo.com/64855794

almost top quality for an independent animator, and 500 views on average.
The culmination of a lifetime in animation, and no one cares.

Never read the comic, but the skunk girls and other porn by the artist was my first encounter with quality furry. So in a way, this is nostalgic to me by proxy.

That's nothing, at least some people enjoyed his comic, he earned a little from it, people might enjoy it in the future.

Think about people who play crappy grindfest online games. Now that is time solidly wasted.

but I dont wanna draw vore!

I had to deal with dial-up until 2009. Lemme tell you, it was absolutely no fun at all and trying to use anything involving flash was a nightmare

Maybe because
>no lewds yet
>webcomic so technically still Cred Forums

You could at least have the proverbial balls to draw hard vore. Sort vore is absurd. As if being being swallowed alive would somehow be a pleasant experience. Hard vore people don't try to hide behind some stupid illusion.

I was there in 94 when Sabrina started.
cant believe I followed it for 22 years .
it was a nice time . :)

...

Joe Shuster drew underground S&M to pay the bills and he didn't complain. You want the money, right?

...

You can draw simple shit for around 10 bucks. It doesn't need to be porn.

Even the most competent artists don't ask for more than $150 on a piece. When you see shit like people paying thousands of dollars for some random doodle is because of YCH auctions.

It's sad, but there are more cases like it than you'd even want to care to imagine. There are ultra creative types all over the world, and they simply don't know how to market themselves. That, or they simply aren't making what the current average viewer wants.

For every mega popular Adventure Time, there are a thousand completely unknown Wander Over Yonders. Ya just have to know the right people and market to the right audience. Most people are just too obscure, and (rightfully) unwilling to pander. Not that Craig McCracken is comparable to the average unknown artist, but ya get my point.

Sabrina was the first webcomic I started reading, back in the fucking 90's.

It feels so weird.

Neither had the two threads he nuked yesterday. The second didn't even have furry pictures.

>all of my favorite shows are ending
>this ends too
PLEASE END ME

>that lateral chromatic aberration

It doesn't make it look more like a photo. It makes it look more like a shitty photo. Why do artists keep doing this? I mean, they draw a perfectly competent image and then spent time and effort manipulating color channels to make their art look like it was taken with a shitty lens.

Speaking off, it hurts me not knowing how much art by great artists we'll never see because it was either agreed with commissioner to be private or the artist was ashamed of and never posted it anywhere.

>I was born September 21st of 1996
Jesus I feel young and old at the same time.

There's probably a hidden web comic on par with berserk that absolutely nobody knows about.

>when an artist deletes his entire gallery everywhere over artist drama

Let's not forget he did everything on a fucking Amiga computer

There are literally tens of thousands of manga that never got translated and gotten exposure over here. And I'm not talking about one-shots that never got picked up, I'm talking manga that ran for years.

Same, but to a lesser degree about comics and cartoons across the world. And probably to a larger degree: books. There are probably stories that could blow Tolkien out of the water that were read only by a few hundred people if that.

Just being talented doesn't guarantee success.

When a "famous" artist does that, it's not that bad because there's at least a dozen fans who have it archived and there are third party galleries and torrents.

A couple of times, I learned the hard way that I was one of the few that liked an artist when their stuff disappeared and that was it.

Admittedly, the Amiga was actually a pretty good platform to use if you're an artist. He also did his animations on it, as well. There's a reason why it's fondly remembered to this day.

I recall a story of a janitor who had written some grand novel in his free time, and never shared it with anybody. It only got out that he wrote at all when he died of old age and his family was going through his belongings. I think that's what happened, anyway. No idea if the book was any good or not, but, well, no one else would have known either if his family didn't happen upon it to settle the estate.

They're out there, passionate creators, who just aren't getting any recognition. Either because they choose not to share it, or because their efforts to share it are in vain. It's sad, and like I said and like said, talent alone isn't enough. It'd be nice if it was, but it's just not.

At moments like this, I remember Henry Darger.

You mean Henry Darger. Read up on him on wikipedia. His life was very interesting and sad at the same time. Said book was also 10 000 pages long. Outsider artists are very interesting.
