Chapter 15 of the "I don't mind." comic!! :D

A little weekend encounter between two shy people 🙃

A digital comic of a woman (Lily) humming and reading while sitting at the base of a tree. She's sitting on a blanket and has her shoes off, on which her bag rests. There are trees in the distance, flowers on the ground, and a cat peeking its head out from the top of the front tree

Top right caption: "Ch.15 P.1"

Lily has dozed off (indicated by a twirling 'Snoooooooooze...' that gets smaller), and is into the frame walks a femme person (Kiana), who is wearing little mushroom earrings and is carrying a hand bag. She notices Lily with an 'Oh?'

The cat has moved to a tree in the background

Top right caption: "Ch.15 P.2"

Kiana put down her bag, resting it up against Lily's shoes, and picked a flower. She's crouched in front of Lily, grinning and saying "Watcha doing here, sleepyhead?" as she goes to put the flower in Lily's hair

The cat's tail wiggles with a 'mrp' from behind a tree root

Top right caption: "Ch.15 P.3"

Lily wakes up from this, and looks up to Kiana who starts blushing, matched by Lily blushing. The flower is now behind Lily's ear and is holding her hair back

Kiana goes "Oops... Um... Good morning..." as she progressively gets quieter

The cat is gnawing on a flower stem, next to which is the broken stem of the one that was picked by Kiana

Top right caption: "Ch.15 P.4"

LOLLLL I'M GLAD YOU LIKE IT HAHA I drew it as my part of a sketch swap with my sister in law, and we were both just giggling about it for so long lolll

This is where she stopped for now with a WIP but the idea of then being like detective partners was so funny to us 💀💀💀

Congrats on 1000!!! Very well deserved 😌😌

Here are a few of my OCs, my main one being Mush the Mushroom :D It's a little magical mushroom that wanders in its little magical world with its friend Grob the Frog 😌

I also love and need to draw more of Little One and Big One, and the fire/ice lovers 😌🙃

A digital character sheet of my OC Mush the Mushroom, depicting it in various poses, and providing the description:

Mush the Mushroom (it/it/its)
- Little mushroom humanoid
- Life friends with Grob the Frog
- A unique part of nature, perhaps magical or otherwise, who has a strange sense of curiosity not characteristic of others of its species

A digital painting of two women, a fire elemental and an ice elemental, posing next to each other and gazing towards the viewer

The fire elemental on the left is twirling her dress, and is producing a fire lily (made of fire) from her raised right hand. Her left arm extends to her side and slightly behind the ice elemental woman, and her dress sleeve is tied off. Her long hair, made of flames, is tied up and is rising behind her head. Beneath her dress, she's stepping a heel into the ground, at the base of which are ashes, emerging into flames the ride around woman

The ice elemental woman on the right is walking forward and is producing a snowflake from her left hand. As her heels strike the ground, patterns of ice spread from the contact points. Around her rises snowy mist, off of which scatter snowflakes

The mist and flames from each mix into purple clouds

Signature: EmberSSBM <3

Two characters in various circumstances:

Little One (they/them): A wise, pleasant lil guy with a rectangle body, a round head and a gentle smile. They are depicted drooped over Big One’s shoulder in one image. In another, they are pouring ingredients into a large soup pot while standing on Big One’s hand and wearing a little chef toque.

Big One (It/Them): A golem-like figure with rounded, gorilla-like proportions (long arms, big hands, small legs). It has two uneven eyes and no mouth nor feet. It is depicted gently holding onto Little One as they are drooped over its shoulder. In the other image, Big One is holding its hand out flat for Little One to stand on and pour ingredients into a soup pot. Big One stirs the pot with a large, crooked, wooden spoon.

To the side of their soup pot is a rustic wooden table with some chopped vegetables on it

A digital painting of a mushroom friend (my OC Mush) and a round frog (Grob) sit together near the edge of a green cliff and look out across an ocean, the gentle waves alit by the low sun in the sky

There are tall trees on the cliff, on of which is half the size of the other two and is broken at its top

Ty for hosting and happy portfolio day :D And ty @skyefrost.bsky.social for the tag 😌💜✨

Here's my portfolio day post, and I'd love to share some old, very silly doodles that I'm sure most people here haven't seen haha 🙃

bsky.app/profile/embe...

A digital grayscale drawing of two cartoon frogs, one who's taller and very tired, wearing a cloak over business attire, and the other much smaller and expressive, talking at the taller one while wearing business attire. The smaller one has a 'New Hire' pin and a blank nametag

This was a sketch I made for my sister in law in a sketch swap

From left to right:

A sleeping cat drooped over a pot on a sitting table;

A confused black cat sitting on the floor, looking up at a ghost with a “?” by its head

A ghost floating in the air, with its arms up, presumably going “WoOooOOOooOoh”, but confused at the ineffectiveness of its attempts to haunt (“?” By the ghost’s head)

Below the ghost is a small bed of 4 flowers, each with a little expression (Left to Right: “…” “:o” “:)” and “?”)

A blank-expressioned witch person stares debatably back at the ghost with a “?”

Two frogs on a table, one smiling with a “:)” and the other asleep on its side

From left to right:

A clock on the wall, over a table with a water cooler, a stack of disposable cups, and a machine that reads ‘HOT CHA—‘ (cut off, intended to imply “Hot Charcoal”)

A fire person, wearing business casual attire, with bored eyes holding a cup of hot charcoal (mmm yummy), looking at a water person

In the background, a rock golem delivery person entering the room through a door, labeled “Elemental Department”

A water person, dramatically feigning fainting

Hanging over a printer at the edge of the frame, an Employee of the Month board:
Jan: Fire
Feb: Fire
Mar: Water
Apr: Rock
(cut off)
Jul: Fire
Aug: Water
Sep: Water
Oct: Fire
(Cut off)

A digital drawing of a ghost peering out an open widow, with the caption "I miss spooky times."
