Black Swan Ace (1/4)

a short #comic pilot to test the waters with this new character & story concept, 'cause I got into horror, pulp stuff & Showa aesthetics #art

pg. 1

Lan O. :
"I want you to think about dead trees. To you and me, they’re exactly as is. Just sitting there, in the wild, slowly decaying, and nothing more. But beneath the surface, it teems with life that You cannot see, eating away at its insides, slowly changing the husk from within...
Now suppose, that the same applies to any places people aren’t looking at. Not just in nature, but everything around us... Cities, houses, rooms... There are 6 billion people, with more places filled up each day. More walls... more corners... more places away from direct sight... Places that can hide anything, and before you know it, become something else it wasn’t before.

So suppose once again, when you turn your eyes away..."

pg. 2
Lan O. :

... How would you know, what is happening behind you?

pg. 3

Introduction:
Inokawa Luke (age 17) - Straight-A Student/Part-time shelf-stacker
Method-Master Lán O. (age 17) - Detective/"Part-time" student

LUKE: "No."
LAN: "No? No?!"

LUKE: "Yes, hell no. My shift ends at seven. We talked about this, Lán! I’m not gallivanting around on another case until the term is over."

LAN: "Gallivanting?" Rubbish! You would choose to abandon this responsibility?! Forsake Your duty, LUKE, to your fellow man, to aid in these desperate of times? just to pack shelves all night?
LUKE: "I hate it when she talks like that..."

LUKE: "Yes, and maybe pass my A-levels too! We have tests tomorrow! YOU have tests tomorrow!"

pg. 4

LUKE: "To put in your terms, maybe us common clay need to work twice as hard because we gotta live with half of what you take for granted. Sorry, but some of us are not privileged enough to be born with genius brains and live on the easy street like you are...
... or afford to throw my life on your amateur hobby sleuthing."
LUKE (thinking to himself): ("No no no you idiot! stop talking! You are going to upset her you dolt, Why do you always do this?!")

LAN: "Fine! Forget it! I will go alone!"

LAN: "If I don’t come back tomorrow, you will know what happened."
LUKE: "I- You are not gonna die, LAN..."

LUKE (thinking to himself): ("She might, she might, she might…
#@€%&# damn it...")

#art #characterdesign #digitalart

Two beautiful young woman stand in what looks like the bathroom of a gothic club. The walls are red with a lattice pattern over them, with black accents to the doors and mirror frames. The floor is also black tile as are the sinks.

On the left we see a beautiful woman with short black hair, green eyes and black lips holding up a black phone to take a selfie with. She wears a black choker, as well as a black jacket, a black top with sheer parts, black trousers and black high heel shoes with a red sole. She also wears a gothic belt and harneses on her legs. On her cheek we can see the faint outline of pink lipstick suggesting she's been kissed there recently.

On the right we see the exact opposite of the woman on the left. With long flowing strawberry blonde hair and blue eyes, this young woman looks completely out of place here. She wears a sparkly short pink party dress, as well as a nice pink handbag and tall sparkly boots with a red sole. She wears a little heart shaped harness on her leg as well as gold jewellery on her wrists and neck. On her cheeck we see the faint outline of black lipstick, suggesting she's been kissed recently as well.

#vampirethemasquerade #vtm #worldofdarkness #wod #lasombra #ventrue #OC #OCSky

An arrogant looking young woman sits on an antique looking throne. Behind her is a set of dark red velvet curtains and windowed doors, the doors looking out over the city of Los Angeles, which is set against a starry sky. A grey rug sits underneath the throne, which is made of dark wood and black leather cushions.

The woman herself has dark skin and black hair that sit in a bob. She has brown eyes and brown lips which sit in a devious smile. On her wrists she has a number of gold bangles, one of which is inset with rubies and on her hands she has long black finger nails.

She also wears a white turtle neck with a gold chain around her neck. On her legs she wears ankara trousers with an incredible African pattern on them and white high heel snake skin boots.

In the top left hand corner, there is a number of words. They read "Lights and Sound; The Movie Magazine" as well as "Issa Mbaye; In Conversation with the woman taking over Hollywood"

#vampireenjoyers

A line up of characters against a simple white background. The words "Ray Tracing: Guardian of the Renderverse" are written on the left hand side, with "Character Height Chart" and "From left to right; Ray Tracing, Crash Render, Chroma Ciara" being on the right.

On the left we have a rad little dude with blonde hair dressed in a backwards cap, sunglasses, a blue t-shirt, a black denim waistcoat, jorts and converse.

In the middle we have a big angry dude with a red mohawk, red glasses, a red t-shirt, a black denim waistcoat, black jeans and boots.

On the right we have a cool little dudette with her brown hair up in piftails, round sunglasses, green earrings, a black leather jacket, a green dress and boots.

#oc #ocsky

A line up of characters stand against a purple background covered in cartoon bats, crosses and skulls, the words meet the counsellors up in the left hand corner. they are all dressed in camp counsellor uniforms which consist of a black t-shirt, black shorts, wristbands, tall socks and converse.

From left to right we have:

A mysterious and short young woman with dark red hair up in a ponytail and a whistle around her neck. A tall buff dark skinned werewolf with dreads up in a pony tail. A cute plus sized vampire woman with a bat nose and bat ears as well as assorted jewellery and slap bracelets. A chill looking gill man with blonde hair up in a bun and wearing a sweat band. A shy looking Frankenstein woman with long hair and stitches all over her skin, as well as a bolt in the side of her head. A relaxed looking mummy guy covered in bandages with wave shoulder length hair. A sweet looking chubby ooze girl with gloopy hair covering her eye. A stern looking invisible man wearing a hat and sunglasses to help show where his face is.

LOLLL This reminds me of when Amazon shut down @ohjoysextoy.bsky.social's affiliate account with them and refused to give us the money we had made because they they deemed our site as "porn" (citing specific comics), while THEY WERE SELLING OUR BOOKS WHICH CONTAINED THOSE EXACT SAME COMICS 😂

Alex Degen (Magic Serple 2025) @adactivity.bsky.social · 1d

This is cool after the war on everything called “porn” by platforms and payment processors. A machine that stole all your words can generate and sell “erotica” but you can’t haaa
