I saw this and had to make it worse, I am so sorry

The same comic as before, this time in swabian dialect. Pastries are serious business for swabians.

"Du siasch draurich aus, Wirdin" (you look sad, innkeep)
"Leidr joo" (sadly yes)

"I han koi süß Schdüggle kaufd" (I didn't buy any pastry)
"Weil moi innrer Schwab noi gsagd hebbd" (my inner swabian said no)

"Und na lieg i hir" (and now i lie here)
"Nix Süßs und au koi Gsälz" (no pastry and no savory treats either)

"GSÄLZ??" (savory treats??)
"Noi, au nedd" (no, those neither)

Played around with a new workflow and some of the new features in CSP, so I drew a little doodle of @cdromarts.bsky.social's OC Mint at the beach

An illustration of cdromarts' OC Mint. The illustration depicts a woman in a red bikini sitting sideways on a beach. She wears sunglasses and has bright blue hair. The background is a simple sand beach, the ocean and a cloudy sky.

Seriously underestimated the work that I'd put into this little guy, but I hope my buddy enjoys his birthday gift 🎉 Also very rare picture of how I plan out my carvings

A photograph of various views of an elephant. The drawings were are simple lineart made with a vector program and serve as guide for whittling.

A photograph of the rough base shape carving of the elephant. A sideview from the planning phase is glued to the side of the carving. In the background is a large pile of woodchips on a cutting mat.

A photograph of the finished elephant carving being held up by a gloved hand. A whittling knife is laying atop the even bigger pile of wood chips in the background.

I made these posters ages ago, but never posted them due to being involved in a copyright dispute at the time, so I was a little afraid to post any art anywhere at all 🫠 #oldart #vectors #illustration #borderlands

An illustration of Borderlands 1's medication and shield vending machine. Prominently featured is a cartoonish syringe filled with a bubbling red liquid with arms and legs. It broke its foot and is walking on crutches and has a bag of ice resting atop its plunger. Above the syringe is a massive bandaid stretched across the picture with Dr. Zed's face pasted over the middle of it. On the left it reads "dr.Zed" and on the bottom "come get your fix today", both in a graffiti-esque font.

An illustration of Borderlands 2's shield vending machine. It features a pill bottle with arms and legs casually leaning onto an old-timey pipette filled with red liquid. The bottle's label is the face of Dr. Zed and it reads "Your Only Choice!" and "Approved by deafult". The gloves of the pill bottle are drenched in blood and it flips a pill into the air like a quarter. The upper third is dominated by a large health cross on a red background. Surrounding the health symbol it reads "Dr. Zed's Meds etc.".
