Old comic from 2020 appears on Bluesky!
*stadium crowd cheering noise*

The awkward-winning Demon Bot Comic is here, with small adjustments and complete new art.
*crowd spontaneously breakdance*

And it's all free!
*It's for the exposure. That's what I'm apparently eating tonight*

Same here. Almost every night. That's why I don't mind wishing it upon you all.

Yeah probably shouldn't have mentioned. Planned to erase comment but I guess I got distracted. Just seems selling n shipping this is more trouble than it's worth. Did spend most August/September posting about the sudden issues I had, trying to make it work; figured that'd be enough of a turn off XD

Now it's Drew Struzan who leaves us.

Did a quick modification to stick more to my usual approach, and a simple gaussian blur version, just so I can sleep better tonight.

Welcome aboard the world dystopia? Yesh it’s getting there.
Winter is coming.

Michel Dinel @padder.bsky.social · 17h

So this is the day I’m being reminded that I probably should be working on my portfolio, now, this time.

Michel Dinel @padder.bsky.social · 17h

Just something I saw websites switch to in recent days. Maybe I was lucky or, I don’t know. Maybe it’s something to do with Canadian regulations instead.

I…uh…have this new Huion Kamvas 24 collecting dust since a month ago…. XD
If you wanted to roll the dice of chance and lived nearby I’d sell it but I think I negatively documented it a bit much.
It works now! I think…

Been seeing mostly those cookie popups “choose which data we can track”.
Now it’s “subscribe”.

Ok so the new website cookie protocol (in Europe at least) is to demand that you subscribe or else view the page for free/no sub but let them use your data. Wonder if it’s changes in laws or just a new business trend.

Oh haven't thought of that. Would be fitting.

Michel Dinel @padder.bsky.social · 1d

That said, I think the background done this way is unusual for me but does have merit. Something I'll probably try more frequently.

Also, I'm now happy with the result XD But ...she could look a little less lost........arg never mind. happy! next!

Could be anytime. Dunno. Doing process tests especially. But near the end I started adding all sorts of layer effects instead of just choosing better base colors.

Fast N' rough orc/goblin doodles. Didn't draw all day!

Tried coloring with selections. It's awash in overlays and....ugh. dunno. I don't like the approach. too artificial-ish. I often fall into this trap.

There's definitely different games that can suit different moods that shift across the year. I was thinking last month about possible jobs as video game "sommelier" XD.

I've had such massive anxiety around the time Silksong came out that I now refuse to engage with anything about it for the time being XD
