Doggust day 20: Some things lost to AI. 📝 #doggust2026

A yellow dog is amazed looking at a poster on a pillar that says "graphic design". Below is a close up of the poster. There's a yellow dog on it at an old computer an the text above says either "graphic design is my passion" or "graphic design my is passion." It's unclear, due to the graphic design. There are several pull tabs below that just say "help."

Text reads: "I like every weird handmade poster."

I honestly have never considered switching from Google Pixel phones until they sent me a "wanna celebrate destroying the lives of trans people" as a system update.

The Big Meeting by Brooke Baum

Panel 1: Important book person asking me about myself. Me, panicked.
Panel 2: Me rambling
Panel 3: Rambling continues, important book person looks disturbed. I ask what she’s writing down.
Panel 4: She says “Haha, oh no, just making some notes on strategy” which include writing down “DO NOT LET SPEAK IN PUBLIC”

I definitely appreciate the sentiment and the difficult position people are in now when hiring, but I guess that means we all gotta make sure to add anti-AI wording to our portfolios now, a thing it has never occurred to me to do despite yelling about AI on social media constantly 🫠

With Nintendo rereleasing The Ocarina of Time, I've seen a number of people talking about the Bombchu Bowling Alley attendant, so I doodled her. #LoZ #OcarinaOfTime #Bombchu #BombchuGirl #BombchuBowling #LoZOoT

Illustration of the Bombchu Bowling Alley attendant from 'The Legend o Zelda: The Ocarina of Time." She's an elfish young woman in a pink crop-top and a short bob with high spiky bangs. She's holding a bombchu, which is kind of a hybrid of a bomb, a mouse, and Wolverine's mask.

A robot shoots a human to death with a gun. It screams “Die flesh sack”

Panel 2:
Titled “How robots will actually kill us”
A MediBot is injecting something into a humans arm. The bot says “Whooops. I injected you with cancer instead of insulin. That’s on me”

I'm doing another Steven Universe watch-through and this episode just came up so I had to repost my fan art from it. The match date on the poster is when the episode 'Tiger Millionaire' originally aired, 12 and a half years ago. #SU #StevenUniverse #TigerMillionaire #PurplePuma #fanArt

A made-up retro silkscreen wrestling poster for the Beach city Underground Wrestling League, featuring Tiger Millionaire (Steven) and Purple Puma (Amethyst) leaping out of the page. The poster features various nods and quotes from the episode 'Tiger Millionaire' (S1E9) where they were wrestling.

As a parent of a trans kiddo - medical care for trans care is clear, has medical recommendations, and does not need you sticking your nose into the business. The only debate is an existential one. Either you support trans people, or you think they don't deserve to exist. Everything else is noise.

A girl, about 11 or so, standing on a path in the woods with her dog. The girl is smiling at us. She's wearing a white tee, yellow flannel shirt and ball cap, a big blue backpack and chunky sneakers. The dog is an Irish wolfhound, all scraggly blue fur and a big smile. His head reaches up to her armpits. The woods they're in is full of birch trees and is well lit and sunny with lots of green bushes and wildflowers on the ground.

Happy #StarTrekDay! Here's to Star Trek: Lower Decks, the show that turned me from a casual Trek viewer into a full on Trekkie. I love vintage things, so I wanted to make a tribute in the style of retro comics, it's the 60th anniversary after all! #StarTrekLowerDecks #lowerdecks #StarTrek

A drawing of the main characters of the show Star Trek: Lower decks in the style of 1960's paper print comics. It looks slightly aged due to the paper texture. From left to right: Lieutenant Junior Grades Beckett Mariner, Brad Boimler, Sam Rutherford, D'Vana Tendi and T'lyn. They have sort of formed a human train walking down the corridor of the USS Cerritos.
Mariner is closest to the camera, she is pulling Boimler by his arm, which is over her shoulder and smiling, looking back at her friends. Right behind her is Boimler, his right arm over Mariner's shoulder as he's being dragged forward by her. He's looking behind his shoulder and grinning widely as he shouts some thing at Rutherford, Tendi and T'Lyn. Next in line iis Rutherford, who's smiling widely and has a hand on Boimler's shoulder. His left arm is linked with Tendi's right, who is linking her other arm with T'Lyn's and dragging her along. Tendi looks cheery and shouts back at Boimler. At the end of the conga line is T'Lyn, who is being dragged along by T'Lyn. Her expression says she's not against it. T'Lyn is holding a PADD in her left hand, suggesting she was mid work when this impromptu human train formed. They are walking past a large window, and through the glass you can see the passing nebula.

Please let artists know if they are out of your price range. In the past two months 6 people told me they'd commission me, even send me OC information. But upon learning my prices, they were never heard of again. It's fine if you can't afford it, it's just fair to tell instead of ghosting tho.

A neighborhood park surrounded by trees, with a jungle gym, sand pit, and benches. A border collie looks up at girl happily. The girl - scruffy short red hair and in jeans, tee shirt, plaid overshirt - is standing next to a sign indicating "No Dogs Allowed" and is shrugging at the dog apologetically.
