Getting @shanhoran.bsky.social and @byelacey.bsky.social pet pics back to back are making me lose it this morning sksksksk

A screen shot of two Bluesky posts. The first post shows a dog with his eyes close and mouth agape, clearly not ready to face the morning, like a teen boy knowing he has to go to school but isn’t used to being up before noon. The second post is a pic of a cat with a gray face who face is up close to the the campers as he sits with an intense yet sleepy gaze

Something that’s not drawing related: This plant I got from a classmate over the summer is doing well! It started of with just three leaves and now it has five big ones going strong. (I wish I remembered the name of its species tho)

I was so compelled by Drawfee’s Sonic of episode, and I had to draw them @drawfeeshow.com

A sketch of Drawfee’s new Sonic ocs: a crab, a horse, and a frog. The horse stands triumphantly with his fist raised, smirking. The crab leans away from the horse, annoyed with his brashness. The frog has his hands on his knees as he is gasping for air. He is missing a flip flop

Welp, this semester is basically over. Making this zine was pretty good accomplishment for me despite the anxiety in the beginning. I want to make even more in the future #zine #comic

Cosmos Cadets Adventures In: Flirting A short one for today. Cosmos says the game never stops no matter what lol #comics #ocsky #comicstrip #ocs

Cosmos looks offscreen with a flirty smile on his face. Cas watches on as Cosmos opens his mouth
"Hahahaha, well it was nice seeing ya cutie," Cosmos says. "You know where to find me babe."

Cas leans down towards Cosmos and scowls.
"Can you please not flirt with the prison guards?" Cas hisses.
Cosmos yells back, "STEP OFF MY GAME, INFANT!"

Cosmos Cadets Adventure In: Stand-up pt. 9 And that's a wrap on their first adventure! #cosmoscadets #comics #ocsky

Slonk Gomber leaves through a door at the end of the stage, leaving Cosmos with a revelation.
'He's right,' Cosmos thought. 'Doing all this just made me more miserable.' Cosmos glances at the edge of the stage where Izzy and Cas are leaning against. They look up at their boss with caution.
'I already have people who need me,' Cosmos concluded. The feline alien clears his throat.
"Kids, ket's go--." Suddenly, a door slams open with a giant boom!
"FREEZE," yells a police android. The stage is quickly circled by a squadron of this robotic police unit. They automatically whip out their guns and aim them at Cosmos. Cosmos stands their stunned with his hands raised. He then cracks a smile and attempts to hide the fear from his face.
"...Hehe, this reminds me of a knock-knock joke--"
"FIRE!" screeches the squadron captain.
CUT TO
Back on the ship, Cosmos lays on a medical table, with a relaxed smile on his face despite his body having burns on it. Izzy rubs a gallon of anti-burn cream on his back.
"Welp," Cas says, "That went exactly how I thought it would."
"Next time," Izzy adds, "Make sure the revenge mission is against a mob boss or something."
END

And here's the rest of the batch! I hope to do more of these next year, it's a really awesome feeling drawing people's blorbos!

Rodolpho leans back, flashes a peace sign, and smirks with his tongue sticking out

Amber leans on a table with one arm as she squints at a piece of amethyst held between the fingers of her free hand. A light dramatically shines down upon her.

I keep forgetting to post my #artfight stuff from this year. This year was pretty fun for me, I'm pretty proud of myself for being able to do 6 pieces this time!

Leina stands in front of a brick wall. She scowls at the camera

Orion has his wings splayed out, but his overall demeanor still seems closed off. His arms are crossed over his chest and he looks down at the ground.

Raven floats in an abstract void, one of her eyes glows red as her mouth is agape and her arms are raised at her sides

Cosmos Cadets Adventures in: Stand-up pt. 8 Check in on your local comedian, they're probably so depressed.

Slonk holds his hands out to his sides. "We're just a bunch of weirdos saying stupid crap on a stage. Most comedians are broke and addicted to five different substances. And we do this for what? A few giggles a night? Yeah, this is totally worth throwing away your life for."
Slonk Gomber stares at Cosmos for a moment before looking away and giving a long sigh. "Look, I get it. Being in the spotlight when most of you life you've been good for nothing seems great. But the highs just don't balance the lows enough. It's why I quit years ago. I wanted to live my life without searching for approval."
Slonk walks over and puts on hand on the feline's shoulder.
"If you really want to make some people happy, focus on your actual loved ones. Their happiness is worth a thousand shows."
Cosmos only stares at the former comedian, his face unreadable.

Cosmos Cadets Adventures in: Stand-up pt. 7 Finally, the hero we deserve, Slonk Gomber

Suddenly, Cosmos's ear pricks up at the sound of a gravely, deep voice to his left.
"Buddy, this really ain't worth it," the voice says.
Cosmos swivels around. "Who said-" Cosmos begins. Cosmos, however, stops mid-sentence, his mouth agape as he gazes at the gargantuan alien standing across the stage from him, with his hands on his hips and a scowl on his face.
Cosmos quickly composes himself.
"Slonk Gomber?!" Cosmos says with awe, "One of the greatest stand-up comics this side of the galaxy? What are you doing here?"
"I WAS here to watch some stand-up," Slonk answers, "but instead, I'm witnessing terrorism."
Cosmos angrily gestures out to the audience. "You don't get it! I just get laughed off stage. No one respects me!"
"News flash, jack-off," Slonk yells back, "Nobody should respect comedians!"
"WHAT?!" Cosmos gasps.

Cosmos Cadets Adventures in: Stand-up pt. 6 Wow so this is really happening, huh? #cosmoscadets #comics #ocsky

We cut back to the club. Cosmos stands on stage hold a blaster gun pointed at a nematode like figure that is tied up on stage with a frightened look on their face. The audience is shocked at the scene that unfolds before them. Cosmos holds a mic up to his face.
"Alright, dinguses, you all better laugh at this next joke or this guy gets it!"
Cas and Izzy stand next to the stand of audiences. The two lean over while cautiously watching Cosmos screaming on stage.
"Psst," Izzy hisses out, "Don't worry, he's just bluffing."
Cas points to an area close to them. "There's an exit out back. Sneak there when we give the signal," he whispers.
Cosmos snaps toward the whispering twins. "WHAT ARE YOU TWO DOING OVER THERE?!"
The twins snap in saluting poses.
"Only you bidding boss!" they say synchronically.

Joia (comms open!)@reggiereece· Jul 16

Cosmos Cadets Adventures in: Stand-up pt. 5 We find out Cosmos's grand plan (is shit) #cosmoscadets #comics #ocsky

The twins walk over to Cosmos. Izzy leans down towards him with her arms wrapped around her waist and an anxious look held on her face.
"We're not going to kill anybody right?" she asks, cautiously.
"Course not," Cosmos nonchalantly says, "We're just holding the club hostage. There isn't even any ammo in these."
"are we stealing money from the club?" Cas asks.
Izzy follows up, "Are we ransoming the city?"
"Neither of those are my plan!" Cosmos bursts out. His face hardens.
"I'm gonna make those suckers watch my stand up. No interruptions!"
All three crew mates stand silently as Cosmos's last statement lingers in the air. The twins expressions are blank as Cosmos stews in his anger towards his previous humiliation.
"@!*& is wrong with you?" Cas finally shoots at at his feline boss, who jolts at the sudden insult with irritation.

Joia (comms open!)@reggiereece· Jul 11

Adventures In: Stand-up pt. 4 Okay so Cosmos is losing it now #cosmoscadets #comics #ocsky

Izzy fist pumps. "NICE! I love a good revenge story!" she says excitedly.
"Are you gonna replace that door?" Cas asks with a deadpan tone.
"Not until I get some respect on this trash planet!" Cosmos yells as he slams his fist down on one of the buttons on a control panel attached to the wall. The wall opens up and reveals a cache of weapons. Cosmos picks up a gun and practices aiming with it. The twins stare with a shocked look at their alien boss.
"Oh, he's serious," Izzy states.

Adventures In: Stand-up pt. 4 The twins are being silly as usual. What's your favorite ship to annoy people with? #cosmoscadets #comics #ocsky

In the ship's rec room, Izzy leans over the arm of the counch where she casually looms over her brother Cas, who is playing a handheld game.
Izzy has a smug look on her face as she says "...So, as you can see, not only is Gessiel cannon, it's possibly the best gay ship ever." Cas has an annoyed look on his face at his sister's statement.
"Izzy, I know you only bother me with Paranatural ships just to throw me off my game."
Izzy smirks like a gremlin. "And it's working." Cas jerks his head away from the screen and growls at his sister.
Suddenly, the door to the rec room slams off it's hinges to the ground. in the doorway stands Cosmos, his foot still in the air from kicking it down. He shouts, "KIDS! It's revenge time!"
