Blood Slayers, Chapter 1: Tairan
Please read right to left!

This series is a horror/fantasy that covers phobias, anxiety, depression, and the struggles of mental illness.

#OriginalComic #OC #BloodSlayers
(1/6)

The first panel shows an overshot of what looks to be a small city surrounded by a small wall. A large building with a bell stands in the foreground. In the upper right there is a caption that reads 'New Earth, Tairan - 25XX'
Below is a student, their back against a large tree as they read intently.
A hand begins to creep around the trunk before the student slams their book shut. "You're late, Daniel. Again."

The person behind the tree, Daniel, fully reveals himself with a pout. "Man, I don't know how you always do that..."
The reading student looks at him smugly "Not my fault you suck at being sneaky."
Daniel replies, "Hmph, I'm not THAT bad."
Daniel shoots a thumbs up with a big smile, "Anyway, I'm all good to head home!"
The student glares at him as they begin to clean up their mess of books, "About time, I've been out here for an hour."
Daniel places a hand on their shoulder with a proud expression, "Damien, Damien, Damien, I can't help it if my teachers can't get enough of me."
Damien gives him an incredulous look, "What did you do now?"

Daniel gives an exaggeratedly shocked expression, "What? Me? I'm the goodest student there is!"
Damien side eyes him with mild annoyance, "Says the guy that's blown up a classroom twice now."
Daniel chirps up looking far too proud, "Thirce! I mean, uh, w-well... Anyway! One of my teachers was advising me to consider summer school before graduating. Something about my grades being meh. I told her I was perfectly fine of course!" As Daniel talks, Damien gathers their books and packs them into their backpack, very clearly not believing a word their brother says.
At a distance Damien stands up and blatantly asks, "Haven't you failed most of your written exams?"
Daniel can only answer with an awkward, "Ah..."

The scene changes to an overview of an older styled line of storefronts as they walk off the schoolyard. People are walking around and window browsing as the two siblings walk down the sidewalk and talk.
Daniel continues their conversation, "Yeah sure, but I passed all the practical tests with flying colours! I don't need the written stuff."
Damien replies, "You realise the written exams cover team formations, Shade weaknesses, survival-"
They're cut off as Daniel waves a confident hand, "That's all stuff you can learn on the fly!"
Damien once again seems incredulous, "Right." They look forward with a drop in expression that seems concerned, "Maybe you should reconsider the summer classes. I don't need you screwing up your Slayer work before I even graduate."

I can't really explain why, but LoZ OoT Randomizers are my comfort game. If I'm down, or anxious, or need to do something and don't know what, I boot up a randomizer, and just chill and play. I don't even tend to finish them, I just love seeing how far I can get it whatever time I have, so relaxing

I was sick a lot as a kid, and the games I used to binge all day while in bed were Luigi's Mansion and Wind Waker. Super happy I'll be able to finally play Luigi's Mansion again with ease~

I will never top the deck I built for this it was a BLAST

Got some art done with these as warm-ups; a few side characters for Blood Slayers with their working designs. Odette (left) is probably the only 'finalized' design. Got a lot of work to do before I happy with the other two :') #OC
(thanks @adorkastock.com and @trueref.bsky.social for the poses!)

Far left: Odette posing confidently and somewhat flirtatiously. She's got long white hair with a short white dress, grey leggings, and black boots. Her design takes after swans and Canadian geese.
Middle: A young woman sitting cutely with her legs crossed over while giving two peace signs. Her clothing is made up of reds, greys, and black and takes inspiration from ninja-type fantasy characters. She is Alex's older sister and is the middle child of the family.
Right: Titania, a strong woman that's sitting with a sheathed sword sitting firm on her shoulders. Her clothes are made up of various purples and resemble a horse jockey.

One of my good friends does, and he got my hubby into it too. They usually do it with big, heavy meals, but they also just drink it casually during the cold months. I'm not big on it myself, but they both love it...

Lowkey may do Tumblr if I don't find anything else... Not leaving here (yet) so don't worry, this place is getting sucky but it's not X, buuuut I want better formatting and vibes for my comic sharing 🥹

Taylor 🧍 @artsyfartsytaylor.bsky.social · 29d

Going off my last post, anyone got recommendations for websites that are good for sharing 'ugly' comics/manga? I worry that most webtoon places are for pretty comics and mine wouldn't be approved for posting. I just want a casual place to share, I don't want money or anything...

Taylor 🧍 @artsyfartsytaylor.bsky.social · 29d

I will not stop drawing despite the state of everything, but damn if it's not hard to do it. Ai is rampant and stealing ruthlessly, the internet has become a wasteland that's a slog to navigate, and it feels like every website where artists share their work becomes cruel to humanity. I need a break

Fuck man I don't want another platform for art to die. Just accept the fact that not everyone will be nice to each other, not everyone is gonna get along, and that trans people are people. How is this hard Bluesky????

I can't wait for them to become a big prime example of why doing this will cause your company to fold and implode 👍

(Shame for all the innocent workers getting dragged around tho, my heart goes out to them whenever companies pull crap like this. I hope all of them find work ❤️)
