New on Patreon: Martha Mattox--yes, the focus is on her being a character actress for kind maternal and sinister matronly roles, but also, did she claim her husband was dead when he wasn't? I kind of hope so!

Meet Brunt!
The newest OC for #OCArtWeek.
He is a massive bear who works as a bodyguard, but is tired of all the fighting.

#Art #Brunt

Brunt, an OC, in a minimalist style.
He is a very tall bear who is almost as wide as he is all muscle.
He is wearing a blue turtleneck, straining against said muscle.
He has short blonde hair and tiny round ears that are the same colour.
He has round glasses.
He is wearing work pants and massive shoes.
His hands are full of scars and he is holding a plate of dinosaur cookies, as he stands awkwardly, hoping that people aren't scared of him.

#Drawtober day 15: “Song of the Spheres.”
Summon the spheres. See what they reveal.
Listen to their melody if you can handle their truth.

A hand reaching out and there are black spheres of various sizes floating away from its palm.

Arp Bot 🤖 @arpbot.bsky.social · 11h

Image of Arp 4, from Halton Arp's Atlas of Peculiar Galaxies (1966).

In the original catalog it was in the category: Spiral galaxies - Low surface brightness. The larger irregular galaxy is Arp 4, and the smaller spiral galaxy is PGC 6629.
Source

A grainy, black and white image of two galaxies. The lower galaxy is large and faint. It has a central bar and a loose, patchy ring of star clusters. The top galaxy is smaller and brighter. It has two spiral arms, which spiral clockwise from a bright central point. The galaxy looks overexposed, so it is hard to see many details. Many white dots, which are stars, are seen on the black background.

Frog and Toad were sad for a while.

Then Frog said, “Toad, here is what you must do. Tonight when you go to bed, you must think some very big thoughts. Those big thoughts will make your head grow larger. In the morning your new hat may fit.”

A close up of Toad, his head swallowed by his giant hat, and Frog, who appears to have a solution to Toad's problem.
