The gal’s got Orbs on the brain! You can get some for your brain too. galusaurus.etsy.com

A grinning artist is modeling their handmade hair accessories—flat Orbs with leaves. Two of the leafy Orb clips are held up over the artist’s eyes, creating the illusion of a wild expression.

🍂 #Mashaween25 day 15 - fall leaves 🍂

I had a much more grand vision for this prompt, then made some silly doodles while in a waiting room this morning, so now my crow looks… like this.

Digital illustration of a cartoon bird in flight. The artist had intended a crow, though some of the shapes were lost as the bird was combined with the drawing prompt “fall leaves.“ The body is one colorful leaf with a beak and eye, two matching leaves coming out top for wings, and two little leaves turning into feet. The tail is just the stem of the body-leaf, and probably not great for aerodynamics.

Hooded crow x rat for day 13 of #Mashaween25 🐀🐦‍⬛✨

Digital illustration of a black and grey hooded crow combined with a rat. The creature has the overall body plan of a rat sitting up on its hind legs, with the addition of two little bird wings on its back. The tail fans out into feathers at the tip, the rat paws are textured like bird feet, and the head is entirely crow-like.

Cauldron Crow loves to fan flames with its wings for a spicy lil snack. 😋🔥 #Mashaween25

Digital Illustration of a cauldron suspended over a fire, but it is a crow. The head is pointed to the fire, flapping its wings to eat the fire. The feet reach up to grasp a dowel so it can hang. The contents of the cauldron are unknown.

Might this crow-spider interest you in its finest, shiniest, homegrown silk? 🕷️✨

#Mashaween25 day 10 - spider.

Digital Illustration of a Spider combined with a crow. It has the overall body plan of a spider, but with a crow head, feathered body and limbs, and each leg textured and shape like a long toe from a crow‘s foot. The creature has a length of shiny silk pulled from its spinneret that it is holding from its two front legs.

So, I've been doing the @snejkha.bsky.social #monstertober over on Tumblr...
Here's my favorites so far for #monstertober2025 !

A purple clad witch looks disappointed at her goblin/cat/demon familiar who clearly got into the giant cauldron of potion.

An amphibian girl, somewhere between a human lady, a frog, and a lizard. She's an inventor, looking over a diagram.

A Victorian ghost woman holding a fan. We can see a vague idea of her bones glowing from within

Pink haired unicorn girl with a horn, horse ears, horse tail, a terrible horse nose, and a tattoo of a horseshoe on her shoulder.

One week into the big art challenge month, how are we all doing? 😁
#Mashaween25 day 7 - bat.

Digital illustration of a bat-crow creature. It has the overall body shape of a crow, but its webbed feet cling to the ceiling of a cave to hang the creature upside down. The crow wings are instead two large bat ears, and the tip of the crow‘s beak flares up like a bat nose.

Kept it quick and easy today with help from the symmetry tool, but I’d love to revisit this concept!

#Mashaween25 day 6 - cemetery 🪦

Digital illustration of a crow combined with the art prompt “cemetery.” The body is a stone urn topped with a crow head partially covered with a cloth. The outstretched wings and tail are made from ornate iron fencing.

Digital illustration of a crow that has mutated into a pumpkin. It has long curling green legs, green leafy wings, round orange pumpkin body covered in bumps that are eyes, and a beak emerges from where the stem would be on top.

Who can take a sunrise, sprinkle it with dew… the Candy Crow can!

#Mashaween25, day 3 - candy. 🍭 I was a little stumped on this one, so I made a crow styled as Willy Wonka and perhaps made out of sour gummies.

Digital Illustration of a purple crow styled like Willy Wonka—brown top hat, patterned purple vest, and a cane. The crow looks delighted as it tips back its hat, taking a step forward under a rainbow.

Finally, the moment you've been waiting for, Die Laughing Issue 4 has arrived! You can get all 6 of these amazing, hilarifying stories for the low price of $5 right here!

ko-fi.com/s/9d485f9c73

The cover for Die Laughing Magazine Issue 4! The image is of a room with pale, yellow walls, with a framed photo on the wall of a vase of flowers in the back. On a table in the foreground, a slice of furry looking fruit pie with stubby paws and a tail (appearing to be somehow both pie and also a star-nosed mole) sits on a light blue plate. Many of their distinctive noses are visible amongst the pinkish berries. To the left of the plate is a fork, also slightly furry and with tines that look like the claws of the mole.

Cover text follows.

On a black background, on the left, Screwball the dead clown reclines in a coffin shaped frame. His bright red smile is stitched shut, his white gloves hands are crossed over his chest, and he has silver coins over his eyes. On his black shirt, in white text, the words "Die Laughing" are printed.
