"Because of my lack of team management skill". God what a fucking bullshit. It's up to the publisher, and yet they make the author take the blame. Also, no one forced the artist to overwork themselves.

Best wishes to the artist as well as the whole team. Hopefully they will bless us degens with some top tier art again soon

@istvan90623 You are right, I am totally with you. No one is forcing any human to breathe in oxygen but their nature. Too bad the artist guy could not overcome his nature to feed, clothe and provide shelter for his family.

Yes, I am making a sarcastic remark on your 0 IQ comment. Also, the publisher pressured him too, probably. Force is a strong word with physical meaning, pressure is mental.

Hope the artist will get well soon.

@Maala Because the only possibility to earn a living in Korea is to draw pornhwa. Right. It's quite rich talking about 0 IQ when you seem to have even less. But nice try though, here's your participation reward. 😘

well i'm sad about that, hope the story would get an ending
I dont get why the one writing the text (the publisher??) was always apologizing, he seemed to feel guilt.
Anyway hope the artist get well

Yeah, he's stupid, it's not the author's fault, if there's anyone to blame it's the publisher. As an employee of any organization, it's not up to your co-worker to seek your best interest, but your boss, if you're feeling sick and under the weather, your co-worker shouldn't feel guilty that they're continuing to put out work because your work happens to be directly related to their output. This is likely the author just feeling guilty because he feels directly responsible for the artist being the one that worked while being sick, but it's up to the org to step in and set bounds. There's a reason why crunch is bad, and this is one such instance, where the workers (both author and artist) are clearly being crunched, but instead of blaming their boss, they can't owing to the work culture in the East as well as building up a relationship of sorts with co-workers also helps companies exploit your feelings by implying "if you don't do it then they have so much more work to do" or "if you don't do it then everyone that relies on your work will not have any pay", the latter is likely what happened here, where the artist is forced into a loop of doing work because the author is pressured to provide more and the author is told that the artist relies upon the commissions he gets per page, so the artist feels guilty and dependant upon the author as long as the author outputs work and the author feels guilty that if he doesn't provide enough work then the artist can't continue making dough. In the end it's an exhausting feedback loop which only profits the company and burns the employee out just like a used battery.

no worries. see ya in 4-6 months to a year

Damn gallblader can be real dangerous, and take care of corona hits me real hard.

 

[avgjoegeek]

Bummer - I hope the artist gets through it OK. I had my gallbladder removed (no gallstones) and was up and back to work within a week. But oh man did it suck. I was up and moving around the next day to help with my recovery.

And... is it really anyone's fault? As long as he's getting treatment and gets better. Just need to be aware that your health is what matters more than the work.

Thanks for the story - and hopefully it'll come back and we can see how it all turns out

Nooooooooo
