Happy #PortfolioDay 🙂 I'm Davis, an artist who created the Welcome to Bluesky Comic. I'm also an engineer and have created feeds and tools for artists, like @aimod.social. Great to meet you!

A digital illustration, a low angle showing Link and Zelda facing away. Link has his hands on his hips, Zelda is tilting her head looking at a map. In the background is Peach’s Castle, from the Mushroom Kingdom. Mario, in his boxers, is jumping angrily from the castle’s bridge toward Link and Zelda. Peach is on the castle balcony looking shocked with her hand over her mouth. A digital illustration of banjo-kazooie in a sketchy and rough style. Digital drawing with traditional appearance. A woman in a loosely fitting dress that covers everything but her neck up and forearms to hands. Her hands are clasped. Her hair is blowing upward and entwined with planets and stars. Her head is upturned and peaceful. She’s part of everything and distinct. #art Digital painting of an ethereal woman shackled in outer space, her head replaced by a black hole. The black hole's radiating energy merges with the cosmos, while dark bands swirl around her body, symbolizing entrapment. The image conveys the idea that absolute certainty is a mental prison, with the woman’s chains and the black hole illustrating the constraints of rigid thinking.

I’m genuinely baffled that they are not only licensing their valuable characters for the slop-shop, but they’re *paying* for it. Ass-backwards buffoonery.

Four panel comic. 1: A “fairy” is flying toward Keezy while she’s drawing, it says “Hey listen!” like Navi the fairy from Ocarina of Time. 2: Keezy looks at the fairy 3: Closeup as Keezy narrows her eyes suspiciously 4: Closeup of the fairy. It is not a glowing fairy. It is a fruit fly with a lantern.

A local thing but still a thing I’m excited for, I will have a humble stall set up at Happy Bean Coffee in Bedford Place, Southampton tomorrow - if you’re about, pop in and say hi! And also buy my stuff so I can put my kids through college*

The perfect Magic card doesn’t exi—
A photo of my hand holding a Magic card with a pug barking at her own reflection in a cracked mirror. Ancient Grudge Instant Destroy target artifact. Flashback Flavor text: Shelby locked eyes with the ferocious creature as the glass began to crack. With one more lunge, she would break through and confront her nemesis at last.

I made a Christmas animation that I hope will make you smile (sound on for the full story). I had a great time working on it (300 hours of designing, illustrating and animating).

Thank you @andreyu.bsky.social for your constant feedback and guidance ❤️

Bluesky is a large site. Probably there are comments like these.

It’s been a difficult year, on many levels. Personally, locally, globally. Thank you everyone for making this a place to go that lifts my spirits and makes me believe there’s some good out there ❤️

A heartfelt thank you to all who buy from independent artists, hire us, or even share our work or give words of encouragement. Even the most established of artists are feeling a decline in work and sales this year. Your support in all or any way is felt and appreciated amongst us! Thank you!!

A starry and purple-skinned, horned woman figure floats in a dark space, wearing a flowing red dress and holding a glowing, twisted staff. Her long, wavy hair streams outward, and her body is decorated with faint swirling patterns.

Hey friends I need a children’s book recommendation (for a 3 yr old) preferably something that just came out or niche so it’s less likely they already have it!
