Making hasty last-minute messes while you're trying to get ready...relatable. 🎃 #OCs #artjamolantern

A headless character has a sort of ooze-like specter emerging from his neck, panicking at the fact that a bunch of pumpkin innards from the new "head" he is carving have slopped onto his chest and thigh. From the kitchen background, we can determine he's trying to get this new head carved for Halloween, tomorrow.

part of the problem is I am incredibly hopped up on Waltz For Eternity, but I feel like doing Enemy Mine-esque Enemies To Ally To Friends background would Interesting but maybe I am thinking too much about mismatched space bros, in general.

Unhinged holiday season customers, unhinged back to school customers, unhinged weekend customers, unhinged teenagers with no third spaces to hang out at so they cause messes in stores, unhinged people coming into the store and stealing pepper spray and macing workers with it, etc etc etc!!!

It really is people throwing the most UNHINGED tantrums, sometimes. Everyone across the board needs to just be a little patient with each other (and two more bucks an hour would make it a lot less horrible!!!).

We had it during Covid, and it rolled forward into permanent paycheck increase, but now cost of living since then has just gotten ridiculous due to, everything else.

and this is me being GENEROUSLY realistic about the fact that if it was too high all the time, they'd just cut back on staffing to make up the difference until it's 3 or 2 employees doing the work of 4 or 5 and the extra income provided doesn't make a difference to the stress.

I do think from around October 15th to January 5th there should be an extra 1-2 dollars added to every customer service or retail worker's hourly wages. Shoppers/customers act incredibly unhinged, in high volume, and it's peak flu/cold season.

Hello, I am once again thinking about: the setting and the possibilities, and yes, FFVII is here, again, because that's also, I think, a setting that actually has a lot going on in its world. Also wondering if these three games are why I prefer an Active Cast/Party of 3-4...

I've begun my October-adjacent Neon Odyssey guys, and if the formerly undead and now-fiend-adjacent guy with a +15 intimidation isn't October-y, IDK what IS.

trying to draw all 42 species in Neon Odyssey part seven: Xante as a Dathu! #art #OCs

A Cacophonous Cryptist Dathu dressed in space pirate finery casually removes triangular gold and pink sunglasses. A symbol for the Polaris Society is behind them.

Xante's been drawn as a Bitling, before, but that wasn't QUITE right. And, while the close parallel with Nilari and Drow is right there, I feel like letting them be a full creature of a species like the Dathu justifies the Intimidation Expertise they have. I feel like they are employed BY the Polaris society, and are constantly circling a position finally INSIDE it, one day - a little bit like John Leguizamo's character in Land Of The Dead.

Ominous gets overbearing, but Liege is doing really well - normally by now he's started pretending the pumpkin is a real person and stabbing it into puree. #OCs #artjamolantern #art

Liege Doomveil is hunched over an oversized jarrahdale-colored pumpkin, looking to Ominous pensively as he prepares a knife to further carve into his jack-o-lantern; bits of pumpkin innards and seeds litter the ground, as do pieces of the partial face he's carved, which is so far an eye and a nose. Ominous leans towards him fretfully.

Ominous asks, "Sire, perhaps one of your hobby knives would better suit this...more delicate work...?"

Liege looks nonchalant as he responds, "ALL knives are hobby knives. If you have the right hobbies."

I feel like I get the same feeling every time a giant BT arrives in Death Stranding 2, etc. I love opem world exploration encounters like that.

Kay King @kayzig.bsky.social · 05/10/2026

I still remember the first time I found out about the giant sandworm monster in the BOTW/TOTK Zelda's deserts by running around all TRALALA, not worrying, until music kicked in and a huge ass lifebar showed up with no other visual sign or warning.

I feel like I've seen a Pact of the Future Self somewhere, but can't remember WHERE - EITHER WAY, lol, I love that as an idea to keep in line with the PC and Party's ideals

You know, rounding it out to one more form of media, the first "scary" video game I played was NES's Uninvited. Its music and some of the threats gave me pretty good spooks for a mostly point-and-click style game!

Kay King @kayzig.bsky.social · 05/10/2026

also I had all three of these and had certain pages I would not allow myself to open until well into my teens but, you know.

I remember Carrion Death and The Ventriloquist Dummy episodes of Tales from the Crypt unnerving me, though I don't remember what age I was, probably saw them as repeats. I was also allowed to watch the Fiji Mermaid episode of X-Files close to its initial air date and got pretty spooked, too.

It's technically whatever they're willing to give me, from 25-35 hours, and normally they give me the lowest number possible, only to suddenly take the max! It will be good money, at least 🙏

Kay King @kayzig.bsky.social · 04/10/2026

it's not as fun as the other 31 day challenges I've seen but I'm at least determined

Kay King @kayzig.bsky.social · 04/10/2026

my October challenge is my weekly work hours increased by 10, my patella is still cracked as far as I know, I don't have sick / vacation hours saved up, and I don't know if I will have time to draw much.

Kay King @kayzig.bsky.social · 04/10/2026

I think I would love to adopt the Patron-less style of Warlock that the Cryptist Class offers in Neon Odyssey to regular D&D, and never have to have the anxiety of negotiating/playing a Warlock Patron, ever.

On this week's #webcomic update, we are having our tea party of one up in an abandoned ruin, I guess! liegedoomveil.thecomicseries.com

Crimsonheart hands the letters from Index off to Reeves, who lifts his brows but accepts the letters, none the less.
CRIMSONHEART: Maybe it'd be better if these came from YOU. Prince Index sent Ruby some letters. I gotta check on something important.
REEVES: Of course...

Reeves squints, now alone in the mail room, as he discreetly drops the letters into the waste bin.

Crimsonheart is peering under the bed he sleeps in - usually as Victor - at Clouwn, who is shivering.
CRIMSONHEART: THERE'S my best pal! You doin' okay?
CLOUWN: I've been hiding down here the WHOLE TIME!

Ruby looks back over her shoulder as she goes up the castle's inner spire to see that she's not being followed.

Ruby traipses across a wooden beam, that's set up in a higher area of the castle that looks a little bashed up, with signs of unfinished construction - there's a sign that reads, "CAUTION: KING'S SUITE UNDERGOING REPAIRS" that has a taped on additions that say, "CLOSED UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE" and "NO ACCESS"

I think I'm finally coming out of this week's funk and I am stuck at work with no way to focus on drawing my OCs (I already drew some today!!!) or starting to run a ttrpg (I am already running one!!!) or, etc, you know.

Proud to present my lifesize T. rex head, affectionately named Hannibal. I created this myself from start to finish- digital sculpture, resin 3D printing, painting, etc. Huge thanks to my friend @rj-palmer.com for instrumental crits and redlines during the sculpting process.

I think...I have a couple D&D yhings to work on from the DM side...but I think I may try to work on some of my October-appropriate Neon Odyssey guys... the Varg at least qualifies, but I think I have an Icon and an Enforcer who are a liiittle spooky

Kay King @kayzig.bsky.social · 01/10/2026

it's still not the most impressive timing thing I've done with my timing but as a turn-around from earlier in the day where I stared at an empty space on my desk for a few minutes between staring at the ceiling it's a win

sometimes you spend almost 4 days unable to draw and then realize you get to draw Vilgorr for the first time since December and you absolutely rip your way through 2.5 comic panel pencils in an hour

I still do terribly at portioning for myself when you put a pizza or french fries in front of me, but for my home cooked stuff I am still proud that I am getting plant-based food and veggies alongside sensible servings of complete protein, lately.

On THIS week's #webcomic update, someone is once again getting YELLED AT! liegedoomveil.thecomicseries.com

The Zeppelin sways above some fog, blowing in the wind near the Vermillion Castle spire, heavy winds and rain crowding the castle instead of the usual heart-shaped clouds.
RUBY: NO! I DON'T want to talk about it right now! I KNOW you have something to do with the storm! Librina, I know you feel obligated to HELP, but...he CAN'T just keep dashing off with no word! I didn't teach you to pilot the zeppelin so he can run off to play hero outside our jurisdiction!

Inside of the castle, Ruby is turned away, balancing a large tea tray with several cups as she steps away from a grumpy-looking Crimsonheart, flanked by a more fittingly contrite Librina and Reeves. Crimsonheart tries to speak aside to Reeves, who looks back at him anxiously. Ruby can clearly hear him, as her eyes widen in anger.
CRIMSONHEART: What got into HER?

Ruby sharply turns to shout at Crimsonheart, again, sardonic, angry, defiant; maybe even a bit bratty.
RUBY: NOW you want to ask questions! I'm FINE going one more night without you telling me ANYthing.

Ruby still hoists the tea tray more gracefully, turning up her nose as she walks away.
RUBY: Just leave me alone until I FEEL like hearing about your adventures!

Librina looks up with a bit of worry, while Crimsonheart pats her shoulder. Reeves looks to one side with a bit of a guilty face.
CRIMSONHEART: Don't worry, Librina - you didn't do ANYTHING wrong.
LIBRINA: No, just...all that tea for herself...?

I feel like Horror usually gives us Guy Who Deserved It, or the Final/"Good For Her" Girl, and now we have Bryan who is a Secret Third Thing.
