A hero's final rest. #lego #bionicle
A colourful drawing of line art and watercolour of bionicle Toa Tahu. The Red Orange one. Resting against a tree in the woods. At his feet are the 5 masks of all the other original bionicles heroes. A Spot of sunshine comes through the trees. Wide enough to form a circle in the shape of Tahu and ailluminate him in the otherwise dark forest. Toa is covvered in rust and dust. Leafs spout from his shoulders and mask. His plating looks old and battered. One may wonder how long he has been here.

What if we...
a button design: button is yellow and black for aposematic purposes, and reads 'if you use a.i. don't talk to me, i will bite your face clean off your skull.' in the middle is a bitey-looking beetle with a little skull making a sad face above its mandibles.

Three panel comic. Panel 1: two ants. Ant 1 asks, “sup?” Ant 2, who is busy writing something at his desk, replies, “sending a party invite.” Panel 2: Ant 1 asks, “isn’t your birthday in like 2 months?” Panel 3: two months later, Ant 2 opens the door for his snail friend, who is wearing a trilby hat and has brought a bottle of wine with a bow on it. Ant 2 says, “you made it”

working with artists is one of the most fun parts of making stuff, even when you're just starting out and on a very tight budget! wouldn't trade the experiences I've had working with cover artists for anything

Two panel comic. Panel 1: there’s a rap battle going on, with a small crowd of onlookers enjoying the show. The guy on the microphone raps, “this fool brought an ancient staff. You got no swag; it makes me laugh!” Panel 2: the rapper holding the other microphone is an evil sorcerer with sunken eyes and a long purple robe. In his other hand, he grasps an ancient magic staff, which instantly shoots a bolt of powerful energy at the first rapper, reducing him to ash. The crowd of people watching the battle react excitedly, in awe of the evil sorcerer’s skills.

🇨🇦🦀 CANADA DAY CRAB THREAD 🦀🇨🇦 Canada encompasses 3 of the world's oceans, so let's meet crabs from each one. In the Arctic, the spiky king crab friend Neolithodes grimaldii is found offshore (300-5000m depth). Same genus, different species, as the famous baby 1/7 🦑🧪
Stamp from Greenland with a drawing of a red spiky king crab in dorsal view. Kind of wild, it shows the reduced 4th pair of legs.
