Artwork: Ye Thuza
└ posted on Saturday, 21 January 2012, by Novil
As part of our feature “commissioned artwork of our characters drawn by other talented artists”, the Indonesian artist Sia (Manusia-no-31) drew the portrait of Cloud’s mom Ye Thuza you can see above. The peacock is a prominent symbol of Burma and the NLD party (National League for Democracy).
Supporters can download the image in its original size (2456 x 3716) and as a wallpaper on the special page for donators.
I’m open for suggestions for subjects that you’d like to see drawn in color. A new picture will be posted every second Saturday.

GOD WHY IS SHE SO HOT!!!!! >_<
This is just stunning.
It would make a great framed piece to hang up.
Wow. That is just incredible.
It’s classy, well thought out and totally appropriate for the character. That, and it’s gorgeous.
…All right, all right, I may not have much money to throw around, but I just have to have that bit of art.
This picture is absolutely amazing. And I see a definate homeage to Alfons Mucha, which is always welcome.
I don’t have enough to get the bigger version, so I guess I will have to visit here more often to see this lovely work of art.
My first thought was classy, sensually classy. The kind of class you see in a woman at a ball, where she chats up both the blue and red bloods of high society; Both love her to death, because she has true and pure class of spirit, not feigned or blood-bound only.. I hope that makes sense, lol.
Once I can afford to purchase this, I will make a printout and put it next to the copy of Klimt’s “Schubert at the Piano” on my wall.

This is about your comic being upload illegally to an app!
————————–
Spread the Word (UPDATED)
UPDATE 2: The app has been unpublished from the Android store.
UPDATE: Word has spread like crazy on this post, and I want to thank everyone for getting the word out. I’ve seen multiple authors on the list posting or tweeting that they’ve been notified. HOWEVER: The call for this post was to get word to webcomic creators to be able to handle the situation, NOT to have people contact the app developer. That’s why I didn’t link the app directly. I have no direct evidence that this guy is getting nastygrams, but I can guess from previous internet drama experience that the odds are better than not.
I’ll write a follow-up post shortly.
Do you support webcomics? Take this one question survey:
1. Do you take the RSS feed of over 90 webcomics, rip the images, put them in your Android app, and then put your own advertisements next to them in order to make money?
Congratulations: If you said “Yes”, then NO, YOU DO NOT SUPPORT WEBCOMICS.
There’s a thief- and he is a thief, let’s not be wimpy on that point- that has done exactly that, releasing his app in “Pro” and “Free” versions (wow, what a nice guy!) for people to read their favorite webcomics and earn him money. Somehow, this is not only okay, but apparently “supporting publishers for their efforts”. In other news, robbing a bank is “helping them gain exposure”.
The name of the app is DailyComix. I won’t be linking the app – no chance in hell – but if you are a fan of one of the below listed webcomics, please contact the creators and let them know that they are being stolen from and that a software dev has made the decision for them how their content is viewed. The developer has posted that they are honoring all requests to have strips removed (again, what a SWELL GUY!), and it’s my hope that the only webcomic left when we’re done getting the word around is his own.
