things I learned during the years I was a pirate manga translator:
- there's no such thing as faithful translation. all translation is rewriting, some just try to mask it.
- the hard part is not having the skills to read source lang, but to write well in target lang
- and the hardest part of that is keeping character voices clearly distinct, while making dialogue feel natural
- the biggest temptation and the downfall of translators is to explain, to make clearer, to unweird, to homogenise

#inktober 2, wisp. Kind of a departure from the norm for me, no ink, mostly freehand, mostly marker! Not great at environments, good to practice.

Some months ago, Iceland had Covid basically under control.
Meanwhile: 😲
https://www.covid.is/data
(they use a 14 day incidence, but even with that die 7 day incidence is above 50 / 100.000)
Some bad news for folks who are fans of #uMatrix. It's being archived and no longer being developed :
https://github.com/uBlockOrigin/uMatrix-issues/issues/291#issuecomment-694988696
Can't say I didn't see this coming since maintaining a plugin, particularly as an open source project, is often a thankless job with many personal down sides
I hope it can still continue, if not as uMatrix, then as something else. I really don't like to fiddle with uBlock Origin to get the same functionality
I bet y’all think that as a comics artist, I’m constantly locked up in this tiny chamber, huddled behind a tilted desk, but watch me SOAR high above the magnificient planes of the #Iceland|ic highlands around lake Àlftavatn!
