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!

MemberNow I'm curious, is there any info out there on what the team behind all these images/comics is like. Who's doing what, and whatnot?

MemberIt can be a little complicated. We have a team that does writing (that I am part of), a team of artists, and also people who handle tagging and uploads. For this specific comic (Dragons Volume 3), matemi has handled all the rough sketches. All the subsequent steps (lineart, color, shading) have been handled by Sagestrike in the previous pages, and the new artist (drewscomics) from now on

MemberInteresting, thank you. That's probably a good way to do things. I can't imagine you guys would be keeping up with the impressive pace you're pushing comics out without having a full team working on them.

MemberNice job, drewscomics.

MemberJust curious, does matemi do all the steps in creating any of these?
