Very sad for the kids in the videos, and also sad for the kids that get addicted to watching it. We had to ban youtube in our house because of this "genre" of videos. Kids would rather watch other kids open and play with toys than play with toys themselves :|

Sorry you had to go through that runaround! Hopefully this new stuff knocks it out quickly

This is the same kind of person who gets mad at villains in movies for doing bad things. "How could you create something so evil!" It's called EXPRESSION, Sharon

I just released a 10 page short story comic called Color Dream 🌈 It's about 2 friends (an art kid and a science kid) and how their different perspectives change each other ✨ Check it out if you get a chance! tapas.io/series/Color...

Finally got all 3 volumes of one of my favorite webcomics: Blind Alley! Been wanting to draw some fan-art of these characters for a while so I decided to see what they'd look like in my art-style.

Check out Adam De Souza's work if you get the chance: @kumerish.bsky.social

🔦 Creating some new stuff for my portfolio
🎨 Got some feedback about doing more rendering in my work, so I played around with some textures and gradients for this one.

Over the weekend @nightmancer.bsky.social colored up some character designs for a OGN we’d love to do. It’s a bit Willy Wonka meets Goosebumps.

Follow Matt on here! He has been updating his webcomic Endwileen progress and it’s a fun time. Great cartooning.

Wanting to do a Middle Grade Goosebumps meets Wily Wonka* style OGN about a lead getting an opportunity to get a starring role on a coveted kid show. But the studios mascot is making the hopefuls disappear. @nightmancer.bsky.social did concepts

*Hannah Montana meets Five Nights at Freddys?
