A long form comic of a fight scene from my comic Blue A U universe, a Steven Universe fancomic.
1: Carnelian, a fusion of Jasper and Spinel from Steven Universe, is punched by Garnet, sending her flying.
2: Carnelian smashes into the Crystal temple wall.
3: Garnet notices something, looking down.
4: Carnelians 3rd hand has been clenched on Garnets ankle.
5: Garnet is yanked off her feet towards Carnelian.
6: Rainbow Quartz: Garnet!!
7: panel of the crevice Carnelian was punched into.
8: Close up of Carnelian smiling.

Cover work for Tidal Wave Games "The Cybernetics Catalogue" TTRPG 2024
A digital drawing of a nonbinary character, with purple dyed hair shaved on both sides, but long in the middle, and a light shining from their eyes, where their purple should be.
They are showing off their mechanical arms, holding one over the other in front of them. their arms are covered in stickers, showcasing various queer symbols and rebellious phrases. they are in a mid drift binder or shirt, with a short-sleeved red jacket, purple jeans, and a bag attached to their belt. The background is the trans flag colors pixilated around them.

A page from a test comic, where twp characters are summoning something in a graveyard at night.
1: Blue haired girl: Take this blood offering, and rise!
2: green haired boy ducks behind his magic book as the cauldren glows.
3: full page showing the whole scheme as the smoke billows out of the cauldron, and the wind moves it in circles around the gravestones.

Cover work for Tidal Wave Games for the Heartbeat Highschool 2025 TTRPG. The cover shows the 3 main OC's. The one closest is
Dani has long orange hair and is wearing a green top that's tied in the front, paired with cutoff jean shorts. She is reaching back with her right hand, like she's leading the viewer to school. She's giving a big smile to the viewer. The second closest is Sam, who is short with freckles and brown hair. They are wearing a sporty sweatband, jacket, and carrying a sports bag. they are turned to the left to facr the viewer, holding up their right hand in a fist while giving a big smile. The furthest away is Mark, he has a dirty blond mullet with big headphones, ripped jeans, and a flannel jacket. Mark is facing to the right, but is glancing towards the viewer looking unimpressed.
The background is a sunny day in front of the school building, with a slight heart motif, as the school clock tower has a heart in the middle, and a cupid on top.

Shen Comix @shenanigansen.bsky.social · 1d

Panel 1: A girl with poofy dark brown hair, brown skin, and yellow beads holding the hair in a "space buns" hairstyle, is looking back at you while sitting in a computer chair in front of a drawing tablet. She wears a purple sweatshirt with a yellow "stitch" pattern going down the sleeves, and has apparently drawn a golden-armored knight standing on a cliff with billowing clouds and night stars in the background. She is labeled "illustrator" and says "It took me 10 hours to draw this!"

Panel 2: Shen points at her with his right hand, a manically smug expression on his face and the other hand on his hip. He is labeled "comic artist" and says "HAH!! Just ONE drawing in 10 hours??"

Panel 3: Shen continues speaking, pointing at himself with his thumb. He says "I'D have to get like TWENTY drawing done in that time."

Panel 4: Behind the still-smug shen is a slouched, deformed, horrible beast of a man with a drawing tablet in one hand and the other hand holding the pen, and also strapped to a plank of wood for wrist stabilization. It wears only a ragged loin cloth. The neck is long and extends far forward, and the hair is wild, going in all directions. In the darkness of the face two small eyes glint. This creature is labeled "animator"

I'm trying not to overwork myself with art stuff, since I'm just getting out of some pretty bad burnout. So when I complete what I need to do for the day, I'm letting myself rest. But turns out I don't entirely understand how to do that lol

☆Dyo the art cryptid☆ @demondionysus.bsky.social · 8d

I got up early, and I'm not used to finishing my to-do list for the day asdhajsd
I'm just sitting here staring at the wall like "... what do I do now?

Are any Black artist mutuals of mine open to me sharing a couple character designs with you over discord? Just looking for a bit of feedback (this is for #HBHS)

Been trying to read some isekai lately.

Four frames comic about two types of Isekai I found and read lately. The first frame shows a young man with a sword. He says: "My name is Josh Itcantbehelped and I used to be a loser before a car crash brought me to a world where I am a god and half the population is made of SLAVE CATGIRLS". The second frame shows him crying and clenching his fist, with many a cat behind him, wearing bikinis. He says "To make it here I guess I have no choice but to own as many catgirls as I can...how tragic...". The third frame shows another character from another type of Isekai. She's a woman with a fluffy dress. She says "My name is Elise Robespierre and after being hit by a truck of terminal cancer I am now in my favorite 900 pages novel. With many a hot man.". The fourth frame shows her giving a board presentation to citizens, with graphs and pictures of plants on it. She says: "Hello citizens. This is my plan to modernize the agricultural system and prevent any further plague by creating medicine [...] taxes which ..." the text becomes unreadable as she keeps talking to her captive audience.

It's how I've learned to survive through everything."

Love Bunnicula, and I still think about Howliday Inn a lot, specifically

Anyone else obsessed with this book as a kid? 😊 I loved it so much, lol.

Getting distracted while doing other things, bane of my existence lol 🎨

A doodle of the artist in a chibi or simplified cartoon style. The artist is disheveled looking in a short sleeved hoodie with a long shirt underneath and shorts in socks. The character is facing to the left while looking up slightly with a concerned and confused look on his face. The character has his right hand up in a confused pose. The best next the artist says " I forgot what I was doing..."

Reality sucks, I want video game rules 😤

This comic is public on Patreon with some additional commentary: www.patreon.com/posts/dirt-b...

#comicoop #comics

A two panel comic in which apricot, their dad, and their sister (who has a baby on her back) are all hiking up a hill on a clear day. In panel one, the sister says "The race track is different this year to avoid all the windmill construction (so they gotta go around it.)
In the next panel, apricot looks disappointed and bitter as they look down and note, "...In a video game you'd get to ride THROUGH the construction sites..."

Another great piece of my Pulp #CallOfCthulhu campaign's BBEG! Thank you @demondionysus.bsky.social <3

Turns out the secret to a good villain is to make someone that your players and friends end up crushing on, despite (or because of?) them being evil 🤔

Gift for the awesome @ketpia.bsky.social of his character Clara from his #CoC game! 🎨

A digital painting of a woman with a brown Bob hairstyle that has been curled. She is smiling facing slightly to the left with her head tilted up slightly, and looking at the viewer. She is wearing some kind of white fur coat or boa that is covering her shoulders and neck. The background is a red wallpaper with an ornate pattern that looks almost like an eye. The picture is in a light gold frame that is engraved with a swirling pattern all around it.

Today is @ketpia.bsky.social's birthday, so it's time to reshare this long storytime thread about how we ended up together.

Unrelated, he's been making an effort to be more socially active in his areas of interest (TTRPG, writing, horror etc) so maybe give him a birthday follow! 🥳

apricot @areyoshi.bsky.social · Feb 4

It's my 14th anniversary with @ketpia.bsky.social ! 😮 I'd say it feels like just yesterday that we met in uni and then learned we'd gone to the same elementary school, but it actually does feel like a lifetime ago lol 🫣
