April 10th: The bill has been vetoed!
April 2nd: The politicians in Arizona are about to sign into law a bill that would mandate sites like e621 to either impose age verification on all users or be at a risk of lawsuits. Such system would be required to go through third party vendors, who in turn must go through a government database to verify every user's age. This is not only a major violation of privacy, but it also opens up a very real danger of identity theft through phishing schemes and other methods, not to mention that we would not be able to control any of that information to make sure it is permanently deleted after age verification is complete.
Unfortunately, Arizona is the state out of which e621 operates, which means that this law will almost certainly affect us if it is to pass. If want to help us ensure that this site can continue to serve you without being required to know who you are, please ask the Arizona governor to veto this bill.
Please, help us get the word out by letting others know about this issue.
For some further information on what the bill does have a look at https://action.freespeechcoalition.com/bill/arizona-hb-2586/
We still have a Discord server, come talk to us!

MemberTom's gonna get real familiar with drawing W. Basitin stuff. Seems to be pretty popular rn.
Couldn't tell you why.
pitioti
MemberIt's like with the Tiger Basitin and Daniel XD
SomeInternetGuy
MemberTiger Basitin? XD
I hope you mean Keidran!

MemberIts kind of sad that most of the world building is bening done outside the comic itself.
Iago1
MemberNot really. I mean, the Western Basitins didn't appear in the sketches until they first made an appearance in the comic. Ditto for almost everything related to the canon in the sketches.

MemberNatani you're a male, males west basitins don’t wear tops.

BlockedBecause every new character he introduces, even backfills like daniels and therie, are infinitely better in design than any of the originals?

MemberThey're just popular because they're new, most of the interesting scenarios with the main cast have already been exploited.
SpecOpsElite
MemberSo I take you don't actually read the comic? Because this literally couldn't be more the exact opposite of reality. Unless you consider "male Western Basitins don't wear tops" a particularly important bit of lore. The body painting we saw literally on the last page. And within the last dozen pages alone we learned about the current state of the Templar Order, the magic gateways, a bunch of draconic lore including family lines, reproduction capabilities with humans, and that there's only one dragon who has any real authority over the others. There's some world building in his sketches, but it's almost nothing compared to what's actually shown in the comic itself.
Not that person
MemberThe Basitin painting Natani is wallowing in such blissful ignorance. :D

BlockedThe main cast outside of keith+nat are cardboard cutouts character-wise
they were literally written by an angsty teenage tom who didn't know anything but shounen anime/manga tropes and they still suffer for it, you can't write them out of that without completely changing who they are as characters
all of the new characters have infinitely more depth because when he grew out of that phase he learned the tiniest bit about character development and was able to write somewhat interesting characters
Look at any of the characters introduced from the basitin arc onward and you'll see what I mean.

MemberIt's hard to say you are false, but I found that Tom tend to make a good job to fix his early character. It's just there are a lot of work on it !
But yeah, from the Basitin Arc, Tom grew and got a lot of maturity, I think that Twokinds really begin to become a good webcomics from this part !
And I must confess that I'm more intrested in the Keith-Natani realtionship than in the Trace-Flora, without saying bad thing on this two. I like both of this ship... But damn !
Firadon
MemberAm I the only one who sees Natani having only one full arm while the other one seems to have not a full arm really? Maybe im just seeing things so let me know xD
