Happy LGBTQIA+ Pride Month from Azure Claw Comics! And by that, I mean from me, an asexual genderqueer cartoonist who's created a comic with no confirmed straight people in it as of this time!

A digital illustration of Azure Claw Comics's Azzura Silverstar is depicted in front of a photo of a real Progress Pride Flag. To the right are the words "Happy Pride Month", and below that, a signature reading "Dave V.".

Here's a classic drawing I did for @goawayimcrabby.bsky.social, inspired by the way she draws herself. Or at least, how she did when she gave herself longer hair. Sam is doing great at posting and building a community out there, and she's doing great as the boss of Cheekynauts Entertainment!

Here's an old piece from when I used to do traditional painting! I've filed it under the robot section of the Azureverse. But is that really the best place for it? I'm not sure. I just think robots are neat!

Here's another classic Azure Claw Comics art of Azzura Silverstar, seen here having a lovely day at the beach after setting a Sovereign watchtower on fire. This one has a lot of empty space so I can use it as an Azure Claw key art. But other than the Facebook page, I haven't done that much with it.

Digitally colored illustration of a lobster girl with blue hair and blue claws standing in front of the ocean on a cloudy day as waves roll in. Behind her, there is an evil tower that glows with an evil light, but it's also on fire.

(7/7) On the theme of today's mood, here is the mockup that started it all. I made it for the Squared Up! #pixelart zine, and the theme was 'A Grand Adventure', and it has been that so far! 💜

Mockup of a dual-screen DS style game world.
The top screen shows a grassy lakeside area with a leaf house and a swirly maplebun tree, animal and bug people enjoying leisure activities, and Sam looking a little more like an early Simpsons character saying "This place is unreal!"
The bottom screen shows a world map of Moonshell Island and icons for a map, backpack, and journal.

Happy #PortfolioDay! Hi, my name is Dave, and I'm writer, illustrator, and online cartoonist! I'm working on Azure Claw Comics! Here are some drawings I did of my original characters! 🕸️ azureclaw.com 🎨 ko-fi.com/davevincenty... 🅿️ www.patreon.com/azureclaw 💬 azureclaw.com/contact

Cheerful portrait of the rogue archivist Meredith Black. She's wearing a frilly white sundress with dark brown leather boots and a dark brown leather jacket, and she's posed like she's starting to spin around.

Digital painting of a young lobster woman with blue hair, blue antennae, and blue claws. She's holding her hands up to her face in cheerful excitement.

Ink drawing with digital coloring added, depicting three figures standing dramatically against a bold yellow and orange sunset. One, a woman with pigtails and glasses who is holding a sword. Another, a woman with blue hair and blue lobster antennae and claws. The third, a person of unspecified gender with black hair longer in the front than in the back, holding a shotgun.

At one point, Azure Claw Comics could have included space noir -- gritty crime drama, but in space! In this concept sketch, Special Agent Claire Lopez is on the trail of a space murderer! But she's found out too much of the conspiracy underpinning the whole case, and people are turning against her!

Azure Claw Comics character art! For my first mini-comic, "Ninja Thief vs. Undead Hunter", I drew these character models of Izumi Yamazaki and Steve Makar, and I made them transparent and in full color just for fun. You can read that mini-comic here, by the way: azureclaw.com/comic/acc-0a...

Here's another quick bit of old fan art for #Moonshell_Island by @goawayimcrabby.bsky.social. This is my interpretation of Crabby going home to meet his parents. In my AU, Crabby comes from a family of regular hermit crabs and he's only now realizing how he's become different from them.

Pencil sketch of two realistically drawn hermit crabs wearing seashells as they are meeting a funny cartoon hermit crab wearing a slightly cracked mug. On the mug is written, "I (heart) Mom & Dad".

Character design is fun! Here are some black-and-white character designs from my second mini-comic, "Enemy of the Earth", which is readable on my website here: azureclaw.com/comic/xi-0b-0

Labeled "Azure Claw Comics: Enemy of the Earth - Azzura Silverstar (age 15)" and signed by Dave Vincenty. A front and back view of a teenage lobster girl with ripped jeans and a T-shirt, including a detailed look at the design on that T-shirt, reading "0x7E3".

Labeled "Azure Claw Comics: Enemy of the Earth - Jennika Phloog (age ???)" and signed by Dave Vincenty. A front and back character model of a stout older woman wearing an elaborate black business suit and sunglasses.

Labeled "Azure Claw Comics: Enemy of the Earth - Jennika Phloog (age ???)" and signed by Dave Vincenty. A single 3/4 front view of an alien monstrosity with a tapeworm-like neck, three beaks, a large single eye, and twelve tentacles emerging from a human-sized suit.

Labeled "Azure Claw Comics: Enemy of the Earth - [name redacted] (age 18)" and signed by Dave Vincenty. Front and back character model of a young woman with pigtails and glasses, a big scarf, knee-high boots, and a cool jacket.

At one point, Azure Claw Comics was potentially going to include cool cyborgs with huge laser arms that blast space monsters. I also threw it around as a game idea. So here is a little concept drawing I did of that!

Here's another older drawing. This one features my fighting robot, Three, just relaxing and holding hands with an engineer named Julia Gaston. There are a lot of things to worry about in this high-tech cybernetic future, but at least they have each other. For now.

Here's something from an older project. In fact, it's not just from an older project, but it's an old experiment in using brown charcoal pencils, connected to an older project! That's something I don't do often! The evil Valdis (on the right) is genetically engineered to be part cow!

A charcoal pencil drawing in gray and brown of three characters resting on a couch in a dilapidated old environment like an old storage place or something. We've got a young man in the middle, sitting with his head down, and a young woman to the left of him, resting her head in his lap. And then to the right of him, we see a mysterious cow woman in a long overcoat resting her head on his shoulder.

Illustration of a dramatic scene by a coast somewhere, of a young woman wielding two whisks as weapons sliding up to the edge of a cliff and getting ready to take on a giant duck monster which is currently attacking and being attacked by the young woman's hermit crab friend.
