The biggest enabler for creativity is stability. I wish that was made more central to the creative narrative. Figure out what your specific needs are to limit stressors and enable "boring" time and work to achieve that as hard as you're practicing your art.

Alex's deadline is Saturday. If you've ever shared an 'oh no' comic - especially if you shared this doctored one with a fourth panel added! rude! - then chuck them a quick donation for their horrible, horrible legal battle.

an oh no comic showing a crowd telling blobs "you do not fit in here" then the blobs make their own space, then the crowd complain that they are being excluded and the blobs say 'oh no'. the extra fourth panel shows the crowd in with th eblobs saying 'you do not fit in here'.

Had a handful of homophobic/transphobic messages here today because I’ve created a Starter Pack supporting LGBTQIA+ writers. Please follow and share this pack to help keep Bluesky the positive place it promises to be. go.bsky.app/UD2Hf7W

been working on a goofy and gay supervillain comic in my free time lately. I have also developed a strong interest in vintage book/magazine covers and movie posters. so of course, instead of working on the actual comic, i decided to make cheesy covers of each character lol. here’s two so far.

a character poster inspired by 1950's-80's pulp horror magazine covers. a person with short greying red hair and a beard struggle in the grasp of two ghastly zombie-like figures. they are wearing a green sweater vest and a long brown skirt. in the background a large skeleton reaches forebodingly toward a group of people. the text reads: (title) DECLAN GRAYE (subtitle) Witness the unsettling power of their clairvoyant nightmares... (at the bottom of the page) This is more than just a bad dream!

a poster reminiscent of 1920s movie poster (specifically based off of “the woman from hell” 1929 movie poster) a girl with short blond hair, a pink sweater, and purple skirt dances happily. one side of the frame next to her is frozen over, and the other side is melting. the background is bright red graphic rays overlayed stark blue. the title reads “Flux” and the subtitle cheesily adds “She’ll raise hell… then freeze it over!”

Post a picture of yourself to show the newbies what they’re dealing with.

Also, part of the reason we did bought InfoWars is because people on Bluesky told us it would be funny to buy InfoWars. And those people were right. This is the funniest thing that has ever happened.

I do hope international friends give some consideration just for the time being before making jokes about the US right now, just for our sake. we may be able to joke about in future, but at the moment it's a rough time. and trust us, we know.

I’ve been working on some clown tarot! Here is The Fool, portrayed by a happy-go-lucky hobo clown.

a hobo clown in patchy, tattered clothes happily strides along the edge of a cliff. they are up high with clouds all around, mountains in the distance, and a flock of birds flying by in the sky. they hold a stick with a kerchief of their belongings tied to the end. the composition and color scheme is reminiscent of the Rider-Waite deck’s version of The Fool.

Time for another reference dump! This zip file contains 2,566 photos (6.58 GB) from the Metropolitan Museum of Art arms and armor collection. I tried to focus on the types of details you don't see in most available reference, like hinges and fasteners. Enjoy! drive.google.com/file/d/1emF3...

A shot of an eggplant-shaped samurai helmet sitting on a wooden stand in a museum display case. It's made of darkened metal and has gold trim and accents.

A closeup shot of some buttons, fasteners, and ties on a small section of a samurai armor set's front chest plate. There are various ornate patterns, complex knots, and overlapping pieces.

A closeup shot of the thumb and forefinger of a European steel gauntlet inlaid with gold. It has bronze rivets and a white leather glove under the overlapping finger armor pieces.

A closeup shot of an extremely ornate double barreled shotgun's firing mechanism and trigger. The hammers are shaped like squirrels holding nuts and there is floral filigree everywhere.

not only would they win a gift card but also a mug #themagnusarchives

A Magnus Archives season four comic. John is disheveled and asleep over his desk, and he blearily raises his head when someone calls, "John. Wake up." A Magnus Archives season four comic. John is disheveled and asleep over his desk, and he blearily raises his head when someone calls, "John. Wake up." A Magnus Archives season four comic. John is disheveled and asleep over his desk, and he blearily raises his head when someone calls, "John. Wake up."

Then someone throws a coat directly into his face and says, "Put on your coat. We're leaving." Groggily, John asks, "Wh-- What happened? Where are we going?"

Melanie, Daisy, and Basira stand in front of him, and Daisy smirks, "Trivia night at the bar. We need you if we want to win that gift card." John squints.

we did a d&d one-shot the other day and this happened and it was funny trust me

panel 1- a mushroom man asks a goblin wizard’s duck familiar: “Skittles, can you count to three?”
panel 2- skittles goes, “QUACK QUACK QUACK!”
panel 3- the mushroom guy says, “Wow! That’s maybe the smartest duck I’ve ever met!” moderately impressed.
panel 4- the goblin wizard follows up with, “He can also play piano!” Skittles looks on duckily.
panel 5- the mushroon man in complete shock says, “Holy fucking shit”

a alien named Bird. they are a bit lost.

a classic looking alien with big black eyes and green skin. they wear a ripped purple tunic, fur cloak, and a large pink flower as a hat. they are holding a staff with a snake carved into the wood. they are looking up wistfully at a starry night sky.

another d&d character!! his name is Willoughby Green and he is a poet. #dungeonsanddragons

a bookish grey tiefling with a red scarf, round glasses, and a long purple coat floats with winged boots and seems to he writing in a book. he’s holding the book in such a way that nobody can see what he’s writing. we seem to be interrupting him. sorry, Willoughby, we’ll leave.

the badger girl’s name is bug and the toad’s name is toe. bug is one of my first dungeons and dragons characters and i love her very much.

a badger girl sits in a forest behind a mushroom-covered log and makes friend with a toad. the badger girl wears a red plaid cloak and little leather boots. the toad wears a scarf (toads are famously cold all the time)
