I launched my webcomic today! 🚀✨ VALOR is a sci-fi comic about a team of salvage operators who grapple with what it means to be human after discovering an illegal humanoid robot abandoned on a derelict transport ship. I'd be so delighted if you check it out!!! :3 valorbot.webcomic.ws

I'm having a hard time and might not get a comic page up tomorrow, but I'll try to get something up this week.

Junar has one surviving sister, Jaya. There are two deceased siblings between them.
This created an age gap, but they are still very close. ❤️ They have a strong bond.
Junar's journey is motivated by her. Their relationship is the core of the story.

I just have to post this #iceage masterpiece from time to time: A tiny (3.7 cm) but amazing figurine of a woolly mammoth carved in mammoth ivory some 40,000 years ago.

Found in the Vogelherd cave on the Swabian Jura, south-west Germany.

A mammoth figurine carved from ivory, its surface weathered with age. The shape captures the essence of the animal, with a prominent trunk and sloping back. The figure is displayed on a metal stand against a dark background.

I graduated school and I'm between jobs right now so I've been feeling very discombobulated! I wish I knew how to relax! 😂 I made myself a schedule that I'm going to commit to for a month to see how it goes. Trying to create a guilt-free balance between comics work, family time, and chilling out!!

Children loved to play with toys in #Roman times too: some 1,800 years ago, a child in Cologne was buried with a terracotta horse with a rider on wheels. It was certainly a much-loved which the child was also supposed to play with in the afterlife.

Time to update your Palaeolithic palettes... 🔵

Very proud to share our new research on the OLDEST use of blue pigment! We identified traces of azurite - a vibrant blue mineral - on a stone object around 14-13,000 years old. Why is this so exciting? 👇🏺
