I'm just conflicted being a freelance artist myself, who depends on my work being sold for a living. It would definitely hurt me if others just sold my artwork and did whatever they'd like with it, as I am not a big company and would really suffer if someone just scanned comics that I've made and sold it digitally for cheap. I think I'll likely consider submitting to floraverse, but maybe not put as much effort into it as I would if I got to still own my art/characters.
why not sell them digitally yourself then?
fwiw people tend to flock to updates, which a bootlegger can’t very well provide
but yes, entirely your call
