Thinking again about one of my most consistent, idiosyncratic fascinations, fiction-wise: CLONES
This remains the dumbest edit I ever made regarding anything comics-wise. 😆
Can't we just trust our readers to be intelligent, thoughtful, gross-seeking sickos upfront. 🥺
I said this of Beldaruit after the actual introduction of his and I maintain it's still relevant: "He too silly, his swag too hard, his hair too voluminous."
Ah, yes, imposter syndrome, our old (abusive) friend.
Maybe eat some pancakes and get yourself an ice cream cake, depending on your tastes? And enjoy your thirties, I've only been in them for less than a year and I do find them much better than my twenties. In any case, hope you've had a great day and that you've had a
Many appreciations and thanks to @jrbolt.bsky.social for doing the touch-ups to the author pic. He really managed to shave all the fur off my panda face and make my face pop out.
NADIR agrees and I do believe I've written a piece worth clicking on and reading, full of introspection and dragons, complete with author's notes to complement it. Hope you check it out, trust this scheming eunuch face. It belongs in a decadent court, but it has poetry and thought and amusement.
Good luck with it and hope you have fun!
Just posting this up for NO REASON AT ALL. Nothing relevant hitting us that would provoke this, nosirree.
This year's inspiration might be familiar to some comics readers and more Kirbyheads. A transcendent being of the cosmos, surrounded by the crackle and particles of space, ushering his faithful beings to go forth, airing trumpets, but there's an almost inscrutable melancholy to this central figure.
A bit overdue on my part, but the result is ambitious and SO striking, @lieutenantv.bsky.social readily rising up to the challenge with their nuanced expression work and stark shading, charting their course after last year's Pride avatar!! If you commission them, they will never disappoint you. 👏
Without downloading any new images, where are you mentally?
I’m probably not the first or only one, but guess what came in the mail today.
It's posted up on other sites, and I'm glad I finished the bulk of this before checking out a movie with a friend, so here's my Food Not Bombs poster for the second July meal service: the result of 9-10 hours of pointillism brush strokes, image cropping, and color theory.
It's posted up on other sites, and I do wish I had more time to work on this, but here's my Food Not Bombs poster for the (first of two) July meal service: one very stressed, late-night 5 hour session of cropping and copy-pasting vectors and pictures and working with gradients and fonts.
It's posted up on other sites, and I'm relieved I finished this earlier in the month for once, so here's my Food Not Bombs poster for the (second! We started doing bi-weekly) June meal service: the result of 9-10 hours of brush strokes, and reading up (very) old Palestinian news and Israeli rockets.
I will never miss an opportunity to showcase a wonderful display of artistic talent through their takes on my protagonist, credits go to @laughingknight.bsky.social, @ragingwoodcock.bsky.social, and @valkwise.bsky.social. They were all wonderful to back-and-forth and discuss artistic details with.
My favorite part of DISCO ELYSIUM is all the quotes I look at and that it's not JUST the Kras Mazov bit, which would be depressingly realistic, but also stuff like the above. My favorite part of playing it, though, was dying in the first few choices of the game.
Oh, snap, I didn't know it was your birthday. 😳 Happy birthday, Sapro. It's always been a treat to see your art on my timeline and hope it's been a good year of artistic and personal affairs, and that you have yourself a far better one the next year to come. 🎂 🍾 🥂
