A small break from SRS ART! I drew a chibi Coen from the fantastic game, #TheBloodofDawnwalker. Tis a panel from a larger comic page showing the usefulness of the skill 'Dirty Trick" from the game. We'll see if I ever finish the full page! At least this chibi can exist standalone in the meanwhile.

A chibi Coen of Laslea from the video game The Blood of Dawnwalker throwing pocket sand, despite having awesome vampiric abilities.

Say it ain't so! Tapas is shutting down service. Am I the only comic artist who's going to have to relocate a story? What are some alternatives you guys are looking at? (I'm thinking Comic Fury or GlobalComix.) Tapas' statement: tapas.io/newsfeed/271

A statement from Tapas:
After more than a decade, the very difficult decision to wind down the Tapas platform has been made.
We know this news may come as a surprise to the Tapas community, and we understand that this is a significant change for the readers,
creators, and partners who have been part of Tapas over the years.
With this transition, users can no longer acquire Ink starting October 1, 2026. Users will be able to use any remaining Ink until March 31, 2027.
The end of service date is March 31, 2027.
Thank you for being part of Tapas and for making this community what it is today. We're incredibly grateful to the creators who trusted us with their stories and to the readers who supported those stories and helped them reach new audiences. The countless stories, connections, and communities built here will always be an important part of Tapas.

I had the utmost pleasure of painting the cover illustration of @marianavcoelho.bsky.social 's debut novel 'Truthteller' for Transworld/Penguin Random House UK! ⚖️ Out March 2027!

Cover illustration by Eleonor Piteira for the book 'Truthteller' by Mariana V. Coelho, featuring a woman with a golden headpiece that covers her eyes and fans out behind her head like rays. She is wearing a red and elaborate outfit with multiple layers and gold embroidery with gemstones. She is holding a scale in each of her hands, while the scales' chains wrap around her hands and forearms and go up towards the sky. Some of the chains are breaking, one of the scales is tipping down and gold liquid is running down.

The birth flowers of September are Aster (Asteracae) and Morning Glory (Ipomoea), symbolising wisdom and undying love. They also happen to be my birth flowers! I turned 30 earlier this month :)

An art-nouveau style illustration of a fair-skinned woman with blue-black wavy hair, clad in robes of shimmering blue. She is surrounded by oversized morning glories and asters, both blue in colour. She is surrounded by a flowing, vine-like framework, and the background is a mix of deep blue clouds and a starscape.

Something that’s really been gnawing at my mind for a while is how much the art community feels scattered. So I think it would be fun to do an #art share at least once a month. Let’s kick it off. Share your art, like and comment on the posts of others, and get more art in your feed!

A muted-blue halfbody illustration of a male character, Eden, long white hair wild around him and centered by two columns, surrounded by chrysanthemums. He looks blankly upward, half of his face completely white and dripping down to pool into loosely cupped hands, then falling further as "dust".
He wears loose, draping fabrics and shining gold jewelry accents.
A red string cuts through the lower half, circling around his wrist.

I finished Plague Tale Resonance this weekend! A haunting adventure that felt like Tomb Raider x Plague Tale, but also still had more stealth than I expected by the end. Nervewracking in a good way! It left me wanting more of that world's lore & Sophia. I hope this series continues to explore more!

Techbros seem to love Tolkien, so here's an analogy to help you understand what genAI is. GenAI is The One Ring. You think your use is justified, b/c you don't have evil in your heart. But it came from evil, it is intended for evil purpose, & anything you do with it will be twisted to that end.

Boromir from THE LORD OF THE RINGS, holding The One Ring. He thought he could use it for good, but everything done with the ring turns to evil. He was one of the mightiest warriors of middle earth, and he could not resist its powers. Others even mightier fell to the ring. Do you think you are stronger than them? The One Ring is generative AI.
