Few things have inspired me to make some art as much as @teamcherry.bsky.social ‘s games

The only thing left to do is cut ‘em out, stand ‘em up, and put ‘em on my desk

part of a wip screenshot i took in rebelle 7 with the colour circle and the brush settings on the right. the painting depicts my still unnamed OC lady who’s dressed in see-through-skeleton-clothes and is holding a fossil sword. everything is very green and i apologise

The only kind of climate change I can approve of 😌

Two big red cats circle a terrified hog encased in ice. The cat's tails are flames and melt the ice partially, exposing some pig butt and giving it a singe. "Uh-oh Step-Pig, I'm Stuck...!" ok I made the joke for you so you don't have to. Hot ham smoke emits from the pig and spells "BECOME AN" and melted ice on the bottom spells "ICE-FREE ZONE"

4 panel comic

P1: a cartoon me, sat at a table --with a blank sheet of paper and a pencil on its surface-- grimacing in pain as he clutches his right wrist. Thinking to himself, he says "AUGH! My drawing hand hurts! Don't think I'll be able to draw a comic toda--"

P2: APPEAR! Suddenly, a larger and far more crudely drawn version of my cartoon self appears on the right. He has a big doofy grin onhis face. Original cartoon me, in shock, says "GASP! W-who --WHAT-- are you?"

P3: Via an equally crudely drawn (and written) speech bubble and text, crude cartoon me says "I'm you when you stop giving a shite about drawing well"

P4: Suddenly, original cartoon me gets transformed into a crudely drawn form. The other crude self finishes on "in my imperfection I am perfect in every way"
