Illustation of Kup emphatically telling a story by a campfire surrounded by a collection of other transformers. In the background is Devastor (a bright green and purple transformer comprised of multiple construction vehicles) so large that he is mostly cropped out of frame. Shockwave, Blaster, Springer and Arcee sit to the left. On the right Soundwave, Swoop, Wheelie, Rumble (or Frenzy depending on who you ask) Grimlock, Hot Rod and Daniel (in his exosuit) are sat. In the forground are Cyclonus, Steeljaw and Slug (Or Slag, depending who you ask.) If you look carefully in the Background, you can see Snarl peeking out from behind a metal boulder. High in the sky is Unicron's disembodied head, orbiting like a moon.

A purple Sphinx with golden wings, a wizards hat and beard with braids sat in a library. He is lit from behind from light coming in a window. The libary is clutters with books and other magical odds and ends.

I took a notion to draw a wee comic last night, based on my real-life experience where I felt bad for some sticks.

Comic page. 2 Panels.

Panel 1: Me walking my dog in the woods.

Caption: Not to brag - but I walk my dog, okay/

Caption: We often find ourselves in the local woods.

Panel 2: Me looking at a big stretch of boggy muck.

Caption: There's this one big stretch of boggy muck on the pack we take.

Caption: You're probably thinking that we just shouldn't go this way. Hey you might be right. First time for everything, as they say.

Comic page. 1 Panel

Panel 1: Me and the dog walking over the boggy muck, elevated on sticks laid into the dirt.

Caption: Every few weeks, though - someone lays down a very useful series of branches so we can cross with ease.

Caption: That's nice isn't it? Someone taking the time and expending the effort to build a little bridge.

Caption: I often wonder who it is. Perhaps it's more than just one person. That's a comforting thought.

Panel 2: Me looking at a big stretch of boggy muck.

Caption: There's this one big stretch of boggy muck on the pack we take.

Caption: You're probably thinking that we just shouldn't go this way. Hey you might be right. First time for everything, as they say.

Comic Page - 1 Panel. Me crossing the sticks, we see all the previous sticks crushed down deep into the dark mud.

Caption: It's funny how guilty I feel when a branch breaks - like I've undone their good work, y'know?

Caption: But within a weeo or two, there's a new set of branches ready to be trodden into the mud.

Caption: It's hard not to think about all those other branches, crushed down deper in the dark with every new layer.

Comic Page 2 panels.

Panel 1: Me standing in the woods looking down at the path.

Caption: maybe it's my turn to lay down some branches for the next folk who come this way.

Caption: God knows it wouldn't take long - and I definitely have the time.

Panel 2: Shot of my hands holding the sticks I'd need.

Caption: Nah

$A drawing of decepticon Headstrong charging at the viewer with his diffraction blade shining. He’s flanked by a flickering mirror image of himself.$ Three bright orange mechs tower over the viewer in a firelit night. Atop burning buildings they stand. Fire trails criss crossing the heavens around them. They took add their share to the firefight. This is Iron Dragoons.

A white gundam, the GP01 Zephyrantes, floats in space. It holds up its shield as bullets blast at it furiously. The shield block most of the bullets while other fly past it. Zephyrantes readies its laser sword and prepares to charge its assailant. This is mech war in space.

Ideal if you have store front you can charge from (eg Etsy)

Again, since PortfolioDay is coming, if you have Carrd and want to make a simple PORTFOLIO website, I made a template you can easily adjust.

There is a video for instructs on my Ko-Fi; it's free. Pls turn up to volume though coz it's pretty soft!

Sygnin / DTIYS pinned! @sygnin.com · 14d

Since #PortfolioDay is coming again, I just wanna mention I made a free Carrd template you can use to make a basic portfolio website.

There's also a video with instructs on how to use the template. You can get it for free or pay-what-you-want on my Ko-Fi:

I made a simple portfolio template in Carrd that artists can customize to make a very basic website. The point of this is to have a place to showcase ...
