I have at last populated cara.app/michellacombe with enough art to fill the width of the page on my movie-screen-proportioned laptop, yay!

It took 14 drawings to do it. Good thing I had 30 years' worth of stuff to pull from.

"I forgot this article about me existed! 1989! Cool, let's see what it says.... Talks about Omega The Unknown as an influence, that checks. 'Writing for comics can also be lucrative. Fees for beginning writers range from $25 to $40 a page...'"

My most recent comics freelance pay: $25 per.

He is worth three billion dollars and probably not tabling at cons?
I am increasignly curious to know who that was, because the description makes little sense.

"The creator and animator of He-Man" (whoever that refers to, as I'm fairly certain those were different people) should get some of those to sell alongside the Funko Pops.

We honor the legacy of Miss Major Griffin-Gracy, a fierce protector of our collective freedom. Our hearts are with her loved ones and all who carry her vision forward.

"We will honor Miss Major forever." - @imarajones.bsky.social

An illustration of Miss Major surrounded by candles with blue background and a famous quote of hers written in gold. The quote reads“I don’t need their permission to exist; I exist in spite of them. I want you to train and teach and love on and create families within my community and gender non-conforming people, so that we can understand that we have a culture, we have a history, we have a reason to be here. We have a purpose. We’re entitled to be loved, and seek happiness, and share that with the people that we care about.” -Miss Major Griffin-Gracy

#WIP, #comics

Four black and white comic panels in a 2x2 grid. Each appears to depict a mirror frame, reflecting a pretty person applying mascara to their eyelashes, messing up their hair and pouting, then wiping their mouth and grimacing, and finally turning around, looking over their shoulder.

VGEN service: Stained Glass BG Chibi!

It has been a little bit since I last advertised these but I am still accepting commissions for them! :D These days I try to also provide the chibi and the background separately as assets! ✨🏬

A screenshot from vgen showing a commission option for chibis with stained glass background. The two example images are of a pair of characters dancing with a star and butterfly background, and a purple haired lady with a moon and stars background.

VGEN service: Stained Glass Illustrations!

Starting at $200USD, this is a very experimental commission type with a lot of feedback! Definitely interested in making pretty things for people's D&D characters! :D ✨🏬

A screenshot from vgen showing a commission option for a stained glass illustration. To the left are two examples of such a commission, the first is a blue stained glass image with an angel holding a mans face while the second is a red and black image of two men posing with their respective combat styles.

Julius Caesar conquered Gaul in 51 BC and died in 44 BC, therefore all of Asterix's adventures took place over the course of less than seven years, probably much less since Asterix's chieftain was at the battle of Alesia, were it is probable Asterix and Obelix's fathers died. In this essay, I will

One of the most people I respect and love, this man was different. He was the definition of kindness and faith, no one was like Saleh, no one loved living and enjoyed life more than Saleh 💔
