Fun fact: The animator who worked on this sequence, Hiroyuki Okiura, is often accused of rotoscoping. Not even remotely the case, as I understand.

Please watch Cowboy Bebop: Knocking on Heaven's Door. It's one of the most beautiful things ever made by people. Also... It's a Halloween movie!

Done! I’ll be remaking to be more accurate when I get better materials, but I’m happy with the first draft!

the palm quire is open and there is a phantasmal fireball seal drawn on the first page

Thank you very much! It was the first thing that came to mind when I wanted to draw her, so it’s crazy there isn’t more art of that!

Happy Birthday Olly!

4/8 pages

#witchhatatelier #Δ帽子 #wha
#orufrey

A black and white comic. The first panels shows a pair of hands holding an unidentifiable wooden animal or sorts. The second panel depicts a child Olruggio staring down at it curiously.

It pans to a child Qifrey, fully red and steaming as Olly asks “Um, it’s cool just, what is it…?”
Qifrey grabs at it, but Olruggio grabs him by the collar to hold him back, holding the figurine up where he can’t reach. “Woah, woah!! you can’t just take it back!!”
Olly holds it defensively after letting Qifrey go, looking flustered as he says “You gave me this ‘cuz it’s my birthday, right?? It’s rude to take back a gift!! I just wanna know what it is!”
Qifrey shoves his face.

“I thought the seal would have made it obvious,” Qifrey grumbles, looking off to the side. Olruggio is quickly holding the figurine up to inspect further, then noticing a tiny seal etched on the belly. “Oh! A rainflinger spell..? OH!” He is suddenly sparkling with excitement. “A contraption! Is this your first one??”
A blushing Qifrey groans and turns his head away, looking overwhelmed.

“Sorry if it’s not something you like. Everyone had such weird advice on gift giving.” Qifrey looks frustrated as he looks down at the floor. ‘Just show them you’re thinking of them. Something you make is best. Relate it to their interests. But those are all just feelingss…and the rainflinger spell is the only one I’m good at right now, so-“
Qifrey glances to Olruggio, then balks as he sees him squinting with what looks like disappointment on his face at the figurine. “WHY ARE YOU STARING AT IT LIKE THAT. It’s so clear you don’t like it!!”

The debate.

A small dog tells a woman, "Experiencing the world is beautiful and vivid for me. I smell shit piss and vomit and I love it. You are controlled by ceaseless disgust. You're stunted. Haha."

The woman replies, "Yes. But I can read novels."

We have armed secret police kidnapping people off the street based on the color of their skin.

When we win: we will haul them before a Senate committee. The masks will come off. There will be consequences.

This is not a call for pity but more to put into perspective how 2025 has been impacting a lot of artists:

Between losses of sales, wholesale, tariffs, and fewer corporate clients, I have lost 50% of my gross income this year as a full-time graphic designer and artist.

In front of you there is a computer, you can learn to code and guarantee yourself the only career that will be available in a couple of decades, or you can play around on ms paint and develop a beautiful creative mind that will starve to death forever, you have a few years to choose but by the time you do it'll be too late".

Chicago journalist Debbie Brockman, who was thrown to the ground & handcuffed by ICE, has been released without charges

DHS said she assaulted an officer, but eye witnesses claim she didn’t

The lack of charges makes it clear that ICE is lying to try and cover up the fact that they attack the press

"i can't find His Grace, have you seen him?"

An illustration of Sylvain and Felix from Fire Emblem: Three Houses, post-canon.
At night time in a staircase with only the full moon casting its light through the window, Felix is pressing Sylvain against a wall, a hand on Sylvain's mouth, denying him a kiss. Sylvain is lovingly looking at Felix, his hands around Felix' waist, not seeming to care about Felix' hand on his mouth, his nose pressed to Felix' cheek. Felix is wildly blushing and looking over his shoulder.

A close-up on their faces of the previous picture.
