NFT rebuttle
After reading the Imaginefx Letters page, I have to agree with some of the opinion expressed: there is really a lot of misinformation about NFTS and cryptocurrencies in general.
Regarding carbon neutrality and kindness to the planet, WAX (wax.io) is way ahead of the game. It was created by William Quigley, the co-creator of Tether (the fourth largest cryptocurrency). WAX was specially created for NFTS. It is the greenest cryptocurrency on the planet, being carbon neutral.
WAX outperforms the Nft-bloated Ethereum, the No.2 cryptocurrency, in all measurable metrics. WAX comes from a branch of cryptocurrencies labelled as the “Ethereum killers”. @Stainmore Steel, via email
Ian replies Hi Stainmore, thanks for writing in. As you say, there’s a lot of fog around NFTS at the moment. However, some of the talk is correct. As you rightly say there are issues with Ethereum while the new range of alt-coins coming on stream boast carbonneutral credentials. It seems we’re on the first rung of a high ladder, and digital artists are primed to lead the way with usage. If NFT and future cryptocurrencies can help the planet and our wallets and copyrights, things are looking up.
Cover grrrrl
Nothing says “I’m ready for an apocalypse” like a woman who has literally everything she’ll need to survive, but can’t be bothered to wear a bra (can’t cover the side-boob) or any sort of protective clothing. A male equivalent would be in full clothing and likely a duster to top it off. This is straight out of poorly drawn women from the 90s comic scene and I am not here for it.

Ian replies Hi Jennifer, we think you’re being very hard on Christophe Young here. I love our cover illustration for issue 206, and picking up on the workflow of a seasoned professional like Christophe shouldn’t be missed. We treat every cover as a curated piece of art, and each has the chance to represent a different and diverse array of artists and styles – pin-up, comic, animation, manga, illustrative and more. Looking inside issue 206 you would have discovered training from Lauren Brown, Rafael Sarmento and other diverse talents.
Lady killer
Love Christophe Young’s cover illo from 206! The sense of movement in the pose gets me motivated to improve my art. I found the workshop useful too, if daunting. Time to start improving! Marie Tapler, via email
Ian replies Hi Marie, the cover art caused a stir! I enjoy all art and representations, it’s one of Imaginefx’s strengths. And don’t fear, we all improve little by little.

Great illo.
