It would be pretty cool if they were used by a Pokémon Trainer or the Elite Four, and once you beat them, they transform, and a second battle commences.

That, or maybe if you've 100% said Pokémon game, you get access to these transformations

I have awoken from my sleep a few minutes ago, and I am ✨rejuvenated✨ for once in my insomniac life.

Had a meeting yesterday with Phoebe about the ThoughtBubble table layout and other bits and pieces, alongside getting the commission sent out for the autograph booklet for the convention 👀

I thought for my once every few day post showing off Tournament Tour Fighter Panels, I would spice things up and do a QnA about the comic and character designs to give some insight on the comic and the characters inside of the comic!

People see five dollars as five dollars

I see five dollars as a Too Good To Go from Greggs

We are not the same

🎃Halloween🎃.L. Roberts @hlroberts.bsky.social · 23h

Today on what Rob has seen on Instagram:

Two furries, female one wearing a playboy outfit with outlandish proportions, and male one wearing a maid outfit with a can of monster, with the reader holding some cash out, captioned: "With this economy, I would do anything for 5 dollars"

Me too kid 😭

Hello #PortfolioDay, I am Nick Bryan, London-based writer of fun-yet-sad dark comedy genre comics.

Available now for your scripting needs, or if any publishers are interested in a finished graphic novel about high street necromancy, give me a shout.

Sample my work here: bindings.app/shelf/5Wt3WcJh

Page 1 of Worrywart featuring a baby goblin hatching from an egg, art by Lane Lloyd & letters by Lettersquids.

First page of Death of a Necromancer, in which the lead character tells a story about him being stupid as a child. Art by Robert Ahmad, colours by David Cooper, letters by DC Hopkins.

Courier Z page, in which our hero embarrasses herself in front of a crowd. Art by Alex Moore, colours by AHG, letters by DC Hopkins.

First page of SoulD, setting up an idiot doing stupid graffiti. Art by Phil Appley, colours by JP Jordan, letters by Lettersquids.

So yeah, I'll be head-hunting again at Tbubs for future projects.

I will say that I'll be looking for people that I haven't worked with before over my current collaborators (though if they want to contribute towards the Redacted Project, they can!)

5/5

🎃Halloween🎃.L. Roberts @hlroberts.bsky.social · 1d

specifically a SFW to NSFW furry artist, though if they decline the work, I'll be looking for an artist.
And for the REDACTED PROJECT, I do have an eye on an artist, however, it's not confirmed so I'll be looking for an artist and potential "collaborators"

The quotations are there for a reason

🎃Halloween🎃.L. Roberts @hlroberts.bsky.social · 1d

I'll have about... 4 projects next year, being:
- Sticker Knight Issue 3 and 4
- Tournament Tour Fighter Chapter 2
- REDACTED PROJECT (Experimental One)

For Sticker Knight, some cover work might come up.
TTF Chapter 2 already has an artist, and I've got my eye on a specific artist for DLC 2-

🎃Halloween🎃.L. Roberts @hlroberts.bsky.social · 1d

This year won't be different, other than I'll be exhibiting at Tbubs rather than "Punting" so I've got an additional day, an after-party, and drinks before the event.

Next year I've got a few things that'll be releasing that I'll talk about in the next post.

THREAD (POTENTIAL WORK)

Last year, I went up to ThoughtBubble to look around and have a good time, alongside head-hunting some people about some comic work, which in due time: was my auto-bio comic, that you can see down below!
