'tis the season of art prompt lists. i made my own list for OC-tober this year! 🎨 have fun with it. feel free to do as much or as little as you want, repeat the same prompts multiple times, combine with other lists, whatever is fun for you! #OC-tober #OC-tober2026 #OCsky

TITLE: OC-Tober Art Prompts
Description: it's OC-tober, the perfect excuse to spend the whole month drawing your
original characters. you can approach these prompts with whatever degree
of seriousness and effort you want. this isn't a legally binding list of obligations,
it's just ideas to get the gears turning!
the list: • finish an unfinished piece (maybe even more than one)
• design a new character, or finish an unfinished design
• rework a character design that needs some polish
• design a movie poster or a magazine cover
• draw a single-page comic or short storyboard
• draw your OCs in an alternate universe
• draw your OCs in another art style
• find a blank art meme/challenge to do
• draw something you find difficult, using your OC
• draw an OC at a different age than you usually do
• redraw a scene from a movie or TV show with OCs
• draw an OC cosplaying one of the characters that
inspired their design
• redraw a childhood drawing of an OC
• draw two OCs interacting who you haven't before
• play with alternate color palettes
Footnote: re-interpret however you want or combine with other lists! the only
rules are have fun, take care of your wrists, and don't use AI.

I had a conversation w a Lyft driver a few weeks ago that I still think about. I hope this musician, eager to share her art, finds her way to teaching. While the conversation started rocky, Im glad she got an opportunity to talk about her ambitions. Piano teachers are way more valuable than A.I.

Aster and the Fire #AATF updated today! In today's update: GRIND NVR STOPS (unless it's work, lol) asterandthefire.com/comic/chapte... #spiderforest #webcomic #webcomics

Panel from the webcomic Aster and the Fire. Kai is on the right side, staring angrily at an offscreen Naomi, represented by an angry chibi head of herself. Important detail: Kai has a shirt on that says "GRIND NVR STOPS."

The dialogue reads as follows:
KAI: You just get paid to boss us around.
NAOMI (in chibi form): EXCUSE ME?!

FYI, from Toocheke. They added a Tapas migration feature.

A screenshot of an email that says

Import Your Tapas.io Comics Into WordPress
You may have seen the news about Tapas shutting down. If you or anyone you know publish there, you’re probably wondering what happens to all of your comics and years of work.

We’ve just added a new import feature to Toocheke Companion (available in version 2.23+) that can move an entire Tapas series into WordPress for you — including episodes, images, thumbnails, and original publish dates.

It keeps everything in order, so you don’t have to manually copy and paste hundreds of pages.

I think it might be time to update my "Escape Pod" site template to add comics so artists can host their own comics for free like I do. No strings attached. No evil hosting platforms. Take it wherever you want. iskotaa.com/blog/2025-10...

iskotaa.com

Create your own free & portable website (for non-techies)

Astro is easy for anyone to set up, and hosting static files is often free, so you don't need to spend a lot to curate your presence on the web.

I first discovered you through the very first iteration of HOTBLOOD! and have been happy to follow you on here again. I’m very sorry that your publishing deal didn’t work out, but I’m excited for what you will do now that you have the time to cultivate a healthier relationship with your work.

Curli @curlyqueued.bsky.social · 22/09/2026

I’m sorry you’re having to deal with this. I think many webcomic creators don’t profit off their comic through webcomic platforms, so this aspect of comic creating doesn’t get talked about as much. It’s still important to keep in mind tho

Damn and I was thinking of going to TCAF next year 😅 I agree that this conversation is needed! I would spend so much more money at cons if there was more original art ngl.

020

Curli @curlyqueued.bsky.social · 12/09/2026

I’m of the probably more controversial opinion that regular cons should have WAY more original art in the artist’s alley. Even tho I like fanart sometimes, there’s only so many iterations of an IP you can do before it all starts to look the same. I love it when artists can show me something new!

Cool fact for people who dont know much about horses. Some horses are selectively bred to have a hereditary Gait-Keeper Gene, A mutation that controls limb coordination and literally changes how a horse can move. This video, aside from showing how fast thoroughbreds are, shows different breed gaits.

The response to this has already been overwhelming, you guys are really so kind. As a treat here are a few high res detail shots. Also keep an eye out for all the easter eggs and references in there, its probably more than you spotted on first glance 🙂

I spent a total of 648 hours in photoshop working on this. That doesnt even include the absurd amount of research and reference gathering I had to do. I put together a pretty dense collection of the process for all this if you're interested too. A LOT of lessons learned

⚔️🔥CAPTURE QUEST: CHARIZARD🔥⚔️ I have wanted to paint this for over a decade and spent the last year of my life fighting to bring it to the finish line. Please take a look, there is a lot to see

Gargantuan illustration of a charizard redesigned in the style of a monster hunter elder dragon. There are 4 hunters attacking him and their pikapalico is readying a voltorb bomb to throw. There is so much stuff in there, I spent a damn year on this. I'm exhausted.

If you’re worried about drawing too much from one medium for inspiration, it can help to consume other types of media, or even just to be inspired by the nature around us. A lot of my best ideas for my comic I got from hikes and birdwatching.

Panel from the webcomic Aster and the Fire. Naomi is showing Aster the break room that the Wolayta Shipping Co. uses. Kai is popping up from behind the couch with a pissed off expression. The dialogue reads as follows:
Naomi: This is the breakroom. Don’tuse the mini fridge-Kai is territorial about his energy drinks. Or whatever.
Kai: It’s peptide shakes and it’s my fridge. MINE!!!
Aster: Okay…
