Hey look, Israel broke the cease-fire, twice, in two different ways, within 24 hours - again.

NEW: Israel informed the UN it will permit only 300 aid trucks into Gaza daily, not the 600 mandated by the ceasefire it just signed.

A comic page picked out in blues and reds. Its dark and foreboding. A girl sits by a campfire. She begins to cry

concept art for ambrosia sky - Dalia lays gerald to rest.

three witches stand around a cauldron, a noxious mist surrounds them. They're dressed in ornate clothing. The forest around them bares the grim evidence of their passing.

Hi #PortfolioDay! I write and edit comics. I've written for anthologies and edited successful Kickstarter comics. I've also worked with Image, Fantagraphics, Vault, Fugitive Poems, Marvel, Second Rocket, and Negative Space.

I ❤️ comics!

📍 www.brittanymatter.com
💭 ko-fi.com/brittanymatter

Containment Breach, Fugitive Poems Volume 04: Monsters, Beasts, and Bastards. A purple-skinned woman with long black flowing hair flies through the air as her draping white dress swirls in the wind. She has long red finger nails, which match her outfit's belt and sleeve hole edges. Her dress is a deep v-neck, showing a small amount of cleavage, and her dress has a slit that shows her thigh. She looks like she's beckoning you to read the book.

Cover of Dead Dreams: The Lucid Chronicles #1 by Matter, Ogden, Downie, Ayres, Head, Wills. A Janus-like silhouette of the main characters, the dark haired Mexican-Irish Piña Axletree faces left as her doppelgänger the Matron faces upside down and right. The both hold bottles that have seductive odors coming out of them. Surrounding the top of the cover are green leaves and the bottom of the cover is Victorian-esque moulding. Cover by Dailen Ogden.

Martial Law preview page by Christian DiBari, Brittany Matter, Hassan Otsmane-Elhaou, and Simon Gough. Panel 1 is looking down from the top of skyscrapers with lights from the roads below. A black drone flies in between the buildings and the lettering says: "The world's population lives in high rises. Building up beats building out." Panel 2 shows people behind skyscraper windows who are all dancing, some with robots as a man kisses another man in a loving, passionate embrace. One person with a hat and coat huddles with his arms around himself, close to the window. The right side of the window shows a black woman with a mohawk who is getting scanned by the drone outside, which is seen in the window's reflection. She holds the hand of a robot with a human face. She wars a pink bolero with a high collar and underneath, a blue corset and topped with a black fishnet over the chest. She also wears suspenders and a black skirt with blue leggings. Behind them is a hooded figure with red eyes who looks as if he's trying to escape the scan.

Cover A for WITCHING SEASON. A dark-haired woman lies nude in fallen leaves. Sunlight filters across her through an unseen forest canopy above. She grips a bleeding pomegranate, red juices dripping,down her arm & mouth. Her eyes glow and golden tattoos light up across her skin.

Hi #PortfolioDay! I'm Alexandra, an artist, designer, cartoonist and science communicator! I am currently looking for both representation for my illustration and comic work as well as design work for comics or cover art!

Get in touch: www.alexandragallant.com

abstract illustration of consciousness - neurons floating in space, with interconnecting and branching tendrils and sparks

An illustration - a bunch of overlapping veins and arteries with different translucent organs interspersed throughout the illustration, the effect is a tangled web of branching vessels with various 'organ' shapes overlaying on top, including a lung in the center of the page

colorful illustration of a dozen toucans on a soft sea foamy green background

Two pages from a comic I'm working on

Page 1 is a single panel

'It can feel like plucking fruit off a tree... and seeing what's inside'
Illustration of a branch of a tree with peaches on it, and a cross section of a peach, instead of a pit, there is a brain

Page 2 is 4 panels

Panel 1: "...and sometimes" text over an illustration of a peach
Panel 2: "it's a pit" (cross section of a peach, with the pit visible)
Panel 3: "or a worm" (a fruit with a worm poking out of it)
Panel 4: "but sometimes... it's a universe" the brain/pit in the peach from the previous page is zoomed in and now has rings around it like a planet in space
