About me
My name is Robin Holden Homoki, but I have published some of my works under the pseudonym Inky Moondrop. I live in Budapest, Hungary, and I've been happily married for a while now. Since 2022, my passion has been telling stories through the medium of webcomics. Given that my drawing skills are far from satisfactory, but I can be quite resourceful, I mostly create my comics by "repurposing" other people's works, more precisely their derivatives, using a collage technique. I consider this to be a useful (and expensive) alternative to traditional drawing and the use of AI image generators that everyone is getting riled up about. It's especially useful, since I have supported the work of many other creators through this both by giving attribution and financially over the years. I am on the opinion that, among other things, our result-oriented approach led to the birth of AI, something that seeks to completely eliminate the "bothersome" creative process, and anyone who truly wants to support the arts in a truepunk manner supports one thing, but does it wholeheartedly: that as long as it does not violate any significant moral or legal boundaries, everyone should be able to experiment to their heart's content until they find their most authentic way of self-expression, which turns the "work" part of this creative process into play.I have a darker, more adult-themed work and some lighter ones, all of which are characterized by a kind of radically naive, stubborn faith in humanity and the conviction that the path to each other, to a more livable world, is through the elimination of ignorance, no matter what form it takes. I lack the determination to become a proper Buddhist, while I'm also too lazy and stupid to become a therapist, which is why I'm an author, but I'd rather not waste too many words introducing my webcomics individually; I'll try to slip one or two in the magazine sometimes, when they wouldn't ruin the overall picture, but basically these are available here.
About the Magazine
I previously published two articles in AniMagazin, under the pseudonym "Inky", it's a great online publication that Hungarian readers should check out, but I hardly watch anime anymore and unfortunately, generally speaking, my experiences convinced me that the "weeb" audience, although it has produced countless talented creators, writers, and illustrators on an international level, is still very gatekeepy when it comes to anything that is not Oriental, made by the people there, or has not been officially published there under the supervision of professionals. Of course, the editorial staff of AniMagazin would not shy away from touching on the topic of webcomics, not at all! But I still felt that if I really wanted to popularize webcomics as a medium in our small country, it's not enough to note their existence now and then; the Word shall be conveyed through the act of presenting people with specific works. So I finally decided that to those who are open to this, from various creative communities while also publishing in English, I will offer to sometimes translate 5-10 pages of their works into Hungarian and publish that digitally, within a magazine of my own. In hopes of more people giving these a chance and that the Hungarian comic culture will not be restricted to supporting the work of those amateurs and professionals who display their works at Con events and are psyched to get them out in print. Naturally, I am open to occasionally publishing a taste of the works of Hungarian artists as well, translating these to English.If we don't count the weeks of time and work volunteered to make each issue happen (time and work away from my dear wife and my own webcomics), the yearly cost of this project is approximately $78 or 24,000 HUF (domains, upgrade to Carrd Pro Standard plan, flipbook service), which is not a lot, but it's exactly $78 more than I should be giving away while trying to save up for the wonders of adulting and family stuff. You can't support the magazine commercially, but you may support my overall creative work on Patreon or by setting your own price for the Blessed Days omnibus; all of that can be found through my sites. If you like what you see in the magazine, and would like me to translate your entire work, feel free to email me about an offer.This is a free publication and as such, cannot be commercialized, but I hope it will inspire the people of various countries to support the work of independent artists in similar manners, so that their creations, or a taste of them at least, could be truly available to anyone in the world, regardless of what language they speak.
