Twokinds Licensing

I get quite a few people from time to time who come up to me to report that one of my images has been 'stolen' by someone else. Usually it's a edited page from the comic, or a recolored image from my gallery here. I just want to set the record straight, so hopefully I can avoid more of these 'reports' in the future.

My public work is hereby covered under a Creative Commons license, unless otherwise stated. You can find it here:

Creative Commons

So, what does this mean? It means, anyone is free to:

  • Share my work - You can save my work, print it out, and show it to other people. You may post it on forums, imageboards, and chatrooms. You could even zip up the entirety of my comic and distribute it as a torrent if you so felt inclined.
  • Adapt my work - This means people are free to modify my work. You may translate the comic pages into another language, recolor something from my gallery, create fan art or fiction of my characters or world, create your own comic or artwork based on my work, etc...

You are allowed to do any of this, so long as you:

  • Provide attribution - You must give me credit as the source. Do not claim my work as your own.
  • Non-commercial - You cannot sell my work, or include my work in anything for sale, unless you make specific arrangements with me.
  • Share-Alike - If you do modify my work, it should also be covered under this same license, or an equivalent license.

This license applies to all my publicly available work. It does not apply to my commercial work, such as comic books and booklets.

So why am I doing this? Because it's how I think it should be. I put out my work publicly for people to enjoy, and I don't get hung up when folks decide to add to or adapt my work in other ways. So this is my official way of proclaiming that I'm cool with that. I am not giving up all the rights to my work, but I am opening up some of it to you.

Leaving Desk Unexpectedly

I will be away from my desk over the weekend. I will return to update the comic on Monday. Friday's comic delayed due to electrical storm power outage.

Good News Regarding Web Host

Wow, thank you all for your kind show of support, donations, and suggestions on ways to alleviate the hosting problem. Thanks to one extremely generous donator in particular, I am now able to afford to purchase my own, private, dedicated server just for Twokinds. I am shopping around at the moment for the best service provider to go with, but soon I will begin tthe transitioning stage. The website may become unavailable for a while when the time comes to move, but hopefully after the dust has all settled, we'll all have a new place to call home.

In the meantime, I will continue to try and pump out as many comics as I can on top of working out the server issues. I am currently suffering from a rather nasty flu, so I'm afraid I've been rather sluggish lately with my drawings. I will be at top speed once again when all this stuff clears up. Thanks for sticking with us. Thanks to all of your patience and generocity, Twokinds will live on.

Progress Update

First of all, I just want to thank all the readers who have stuck with Twokinds during this long, long story arc. It's taken way longer than I ever had imagined it would, but as you may be able to tell, the Basitin Island arc is quickly coming to a climax. So, I hope you've enjoyed the story so far. I appologize for my dramatically changing update schedule. I'm going to strive to update more often than I have been, just to get the story going along a bit faster. I know once a week isn't ideal. College is out for me this semester, so hopefully I'll have more time to work. Thanks for reading.
