This commission was for my pal Juniper, who wanted a little portrait of herself to go on a Netrunner card for this year's Worlds tournament! As if I need a reason to design a cool cyberpunk outfit for a cool friend~

A woman in a translucent plastic coat, athletic wear and flip flops sits on top of a pile of computers and electronics. She's got a small cubic gizmo plugged into her cybernetic arm via a long USB cable. Behind her, a wall of mismatched screens shows a halo around her head, and a patchwork pair of butterfly wings behind her back.

more from this convo: i also suggested making Ursa a sort of therapist character with an inhuman streak, to hit that perfect balance between "cannibal monster" and "hot mommy who will listen to your problems". so, like, Dyke Hannibal, i guess. a little derivative, but fun!

sketch of a therapist wearing a bear mask with empty eyes. vox: HOW LONG HAVE YOU BEEN HAVING THESE "SELF-DESTRUCTIVE URGES"? DO YOU THINK OF YOURSELF AS A GOOD PERSON, OR A BAD PERSON? ...INTERESTING. BECAUSE OF THE URGES, OR IN SPITE OF THEM? ....WHOOPS. CAN I HAVE THAT THUMB, ACTUALLY? I SKIPPED LUNCH FOR THIS.

another sketch of the therapist with her mask off. her face is blurry, but you can just make out the vague suggestions of facial features warped far off from where a normal person's would be.

really incredibly funny how Mixam's new "inappropriate content levels" feature is essentially just... three totally perfunctory levels and then a fourth that slaps a thick-ass upcharge on ALL pornography. Okay

a screenshot of the Mixam website showing how much it'd cost for me to reorder 100 copies of my lesbian smut comic WET FLOOR. there's a new toggle beneath the "quantity" input box with the choices "My artwork is appropriate for all ages" and "my artworkcontains some content that may not be inappropriate for all ages." clicking the second brings up a dropdown menu with four "inappropriate content" levels. this is level one selected, "mildly sensitive to some audiences", which might include references to alcohol or gambling, satire or "suggestive themes or light innuendo". basically T for Teen stuff. the base price, without expedited shipping, is $175, or $1.75 a unit

same screenshot as pic 1, but now the dropdown menu is set to Level 2, "Mature content but not overly graphic", which might include alcohol, gambling or substance abuse, "adult themed jokes", moderate gore, horror or violence, or *partial artistic nudity*. partial and artistic. so, like, a sketch of the Venus de Milo, i guess? regardless, the standard price point is still $175 for 100 copies.

Level 3 is "explicit, violent or offensive", material that could "cause strong discomfort in a public or professional setting". this includes graphic substance abuse, "heavy profanity or swearing", or realistic violence, blood, gore, horror or serious injuries. it also includes... full or partial provocative or artistic nudity, as well as implied but non graphic sexual acts. a sketch of Donatello's David? whoa, buddy, that's Level 3. this is stuff i'd definitely label as "For Mature Readers" on a comic, sure, but the price point remains at $175 for 100 copies

heeeere we go. Level 4 is "extremely graphic, violent or offensive", for books that might contain graphic violence, torture, mutilation, dismemberment, wound detail or excessive gore.... OR any explicitly graphic pornography or sexual act. this category also includes "illustrated bestiality or fetish content", which could broadly be interpreted to include ANY erotic furry content, as well as just "full/partial nudity or invasive nudity", which i suppose is any nudity deemed not artistic enough. (also on the list: "pervasive profanity or swearing". so like HELLA cussing.) the cost for the books is now $251.50, a 31% increase, and the slower base option for shipping is gone. Okay?????
