A digital illustration of the artist's "eridiansona" (in other words, a personification in the form of an Eridian, a kind of five-legged, rock-like being from the novel Project Hail Mary). The design is triangular and yellow, appearing much like the general warning sign symbol.

🎨 so there was a challenge where we had to intentionally draw with an awful palette, and i feel like making a color palette /truly/ awful is actually hard to do when you're also trying to keep the values readable anyway, more leg! #marchHotel2026 • #oc • rkgk

A digital, chibi illustration of graydemesne's character Leg, painted in rather saturated, and somewhat clashing colors. This version leans towards a warmer, and more unified palette.

A digital illustration featuring Soma Cruz / Soma Kurusu from the video game Castlevania: Aria of Sorrow. He has a calm expression, and is posed to show off his current attire— which are Filipino formal garments, most notably a barong tagalog (an intricately embroidered long-sleeved shirt with sheer fabric).

The barong’s embroidery features elements from the game and its story, primarily relating to Soma’s character and its arc. Blue dye stains its hems and spreads upwards in an ombré.

A digital illustration of a Loxodon ranger of the Fey Wanderer conclave with a slightly worried expression, as a lone little fae excitedly taps their fingers. In the background behind them, over a pub table, a board game is currently in progress. Across the table is their amused opponent, an annoyed observer, and a surprised cleaner.

The Loxodon ranger's appearance resembles the silhouette of a park ranger uniform. Their cape and the front ends of their top also resemble butterfly or fae wings.

first time giving this a shot after missing the date for a while!! (though i decided to just record how my day went and then make all the panels afterward, to make this feasible at all for me) anyhoo, here was my february 8! (part 1) #hourlycomicsday

A comic partially depicting how February 8th, 2026 went for its author graydemesne.

It starts with them waking up at around 2:32 AM with a headache, then brushing their teeth.

At around 3:30 AM, they wash their water bottle, and prepare breakfast. They crack an egg over a plate of rice, then heat the plate in the microwave. (The text next to it reads, "Rice, Egg, Liquid Seasoning, Egg and Nori Furikake.") They also heat water in an electric kettle, which is used to make instant miso soup in a cup.

By 4:00 AM they are finishing up their breakfast, then washing dishes, when the lights go out all of the sudden.

Text: (after yelling for a few seconds, the lights came back on)

After finishing washing the dishes, the author googles "frazetta orcs" in bed.

Text: wow he really did just draw everyone with their ass cheeks out
