News: Feb 26, 2025 Show

Feb 26th:A new bill in Arizona is making its way through the Senate that would force sites like e621 to implement mandatory age verification for all users—or face potential lawsuits. This system would require third-party vendors to verify every user’s age through a government database. Not only is this a massive violation of privacy, but it also introduces serious risks, including identity theft through phishing schemes and other malicious methods. Worse still, we would have no control over ensuring that user data is permanently deleted after verification.

Since e621 operates out of Arizona, this law would almost certainly impact us if it passes. If you want to help ensure that we can continue serving you without being forced to collect personal information, we urge you to contact Arizona’s senators and ask them to vote NO on this bill.

Please help spread the word about this issue and encourage others to take action.

Description

Here is a full-sized version of the tavern from the middle panel of page 861. This digital painting took me the better part of a day and a half, not counting time spent roughing out the concept sketches. I've always loved colorful fantasy landscapes. Sweeping images of places that can pull you into a different world. And while these backgrounds can sometimes make the page take a lot longer to draw, it's a great way to practice. And that's really what Twokinds is all about - a canvas for me to continually attempt to improve my art.

And while I might not always be successful, and I'll probably never be an AMAZING painter, it's fun to do. :) And I hope you find it fun to look at!

...Seriously, though. Proooobably shouldn't invest so much time into one little panel next time.

  • Time/panel ratio: While it does slow the overall progress, this is definitely worth it!
    About the "[...] and I'll probably never be an AMAZING painter [...]":
    a) My mother thought this was real for quite a few seconds.
    b) I want to build this house now.
    Correct, you will not be. You ARE!
