Do you sometimes feel like this at your workplace? New sketch #VGen commission drawn by @fennek.bsky.social! (Fennek is currently only drawing sketches due to arm problems).

Colored sketch of a pink octopus wearing a construction worker hard hat, holding a hatchet, a wrench, a ruler or handle of something, and a traffic warning sign. The octopus has eyes looking in different directions and a tongue hanging out.

Yeah, I noticed ComicFury loves to make little everyday suggestions at times.

From the ComicFury web site, the phrase, "Keep walking, nullpunter."

Don't tell me someone broke Bluesky by including too much alt text.

Imagine looking down and seeing a bird skull all day. I wonder how it clips.

A closeup of Devere's belt buckle. It looks like an upside-down bird skull, meaning it would be right side up from Devere's viewpoint.

Sorry you had a bad day. Here's the cute critter commission I had @fennek.bsky.social draw for me. Fennek has lots of other cute drawings, including of course, foxes!

Night-time drawing of a cartoon owl looking to the right, one wing up to his eyes, perched on a branch, trying to find dinner. Behind him, perched on another branch, is a laughing mouse. There is a crescent moon in the background, along with stars and clouds.

I didn't draw this, @fennek.bsky.social did, but I did the concept part, so I hope it qualifies for your cute art cheer-up collection.

A cartoon picture of an owl perched on a branch looking to the right for dinner, not seeing a giggling mouse on a branch to the left behind him. It is a night scene, with a crescent moon, stars, and clouds.

I also got a print of Yasha and Kijo! They are currently keeping an eye on me.

Photo of a printed drawing that is mostly purple. A teenage girl stands in the foreground with very long dark hair holding a lotus flower. Behind her, a much larger woman with pointy ears, body armor, and a long streak of hair that waves around, appears to rise.

Just got physical copies of the first part of the Kuro Shouri series by @kikirini.bsky.social! Those cover images get more extreme as the volume numbers progress!

A photo of the first three books of the Kuro Shouri graphic novel series. Volume 1 shows four teenagers in a normal teenage group, being happy or mad or just a regular mood. Volume 2 shows a teenage girl with blood covering her right hand and blood marks on her face with a threatening expression. Volume 3 shows a teenage girl and boy fighting off dark hands with claws reaching out at them, while a demon with red eyes, pointy ears, and the skeleton of wings watches from behind.

New #vgen commission drawn by @fennek.bsky.social! Depending on your point of view, the caption could be "Don't look too hard for dinner" or "Don't laugh too loudly if you are the dinner"!

A comic/cartoon drawing of an owl looking for a mouse at night. The owl is perched on a tree with a wing up to his head staring in one direction. The mouse is in the same tree behind the owl, laughing that the owl doesn't see him. In the background are the moon, stars, and clouds.

I kinda like this one. Have you got the rest of the face, or are willing to draw something new like it?

Art by Megwyn Rose. A close-up of a girl's eyes, showing only nose through eyebrows. The image is pink at the top and green at the bottom but the eyes are a deep blue/purple. There are sparkles throughout. Apparently from Witch Hazel.

You know I noticed this guy....

@vgen.co You know, some of us actually do read our newsletters. All those announcements from the artists we follow, too!

I like to suggest drawing Sam & Max by Steve Purcell to cheer up. At least they make me smile!

A color drawing of the characters Sam & Max by Steve Purcell. Sam is an anthropomorphic dog wearing a blue suit, long striped blue and black tie, and a tall hat with a black ribbon around it. He is holding Max, who is much smaller and looks like a cartoon rabbit, except he has razor sharp teeth.

Meet Monique, my new rocking #oc #VGenComm commission by @shadyxcrimson.bsky.social! Shady has a neat commission type that lets you partially design an OC the way you like, and she fills in the details!

Drawing of a woman with red and orange hair, tight black outfit with miniskirt, a short black hat, pantyhose with flower and leaf designs, and tall black boots with heels. She is playing a gray electric guitar plugged into an amplifier behind her. A microphone is also sitting on top of the amplifier.

The one was really good! I bought it in 2021 and still think about it from time to time.

My full #2025VGenTimelapse doesn't look so great (character heads get cut off), but I like this screen shot on the #VGenComm2025 page, which features a couple of epic ladies! @yanibun.bsky.social @fennek.bsky.social

Two of my 2025 VGen commissions. The one on the left is a singing punk rock anthropomorphic fox lady from Fennek. The one on the right is a tattooed leaping archer lady firing a bow and arrow by Yana.

Yeah, this is what you look like on my Following list now. They don't seem to clean up too well.

A Pillowfort entry from the list of accounts I am following. The name is shadyxcrimson followed by an underscore, the word "deleted", and a bunch of meaningless letters and numbers.

She looks like she could be puppy girl.

Drawing of a young woman wearing a white lab coat. She has green eyes and purple hair with two longer strands on either side of her face. From the comic Vei4.

My Bluesky feed has an explanation. (Seriously, though, I hope it gets better soon.) @avoidbee.bsky.social

Two Bluesky posts, the top being this post by Karnoss, then a post from Bee showing artwork of a female vampire holding a skull, blood dripping from her mouth.

The rule is, if the top Google result for your artist name points to you, then it's a good name. You pass.

Screenshot of a Google search result for "Bunny Mimi". All of the top results are related to the artist account with that name, including YouTube and Bandcamp links.

Yay, my hard copies of the Alien Heart #webcomic series by @blackmotheyes.bsky.social have arrived! The two volumes contain chapters 1-6. Chapter 7 is still in progress online.

Two books titled "Alien Heart", volumes 1 and 2, by Anna Fitzpatrick. Volume 1 shows a young teenage girl in a silver and red suit, holding a red blaster gun with a green heart on it. She has a green heart on her belt as well. There is a dog wearing a space helmet that looks like a transparent bubble. Volume 2 shows the teenage girl holding a sword and wearing a more earth-like outfit, with a pink jacket, purple pants, and a light blue shirt with a yellow heart on it. The dog is also there without the bubble helmet. There is a rainbow in the corner. Several other characters are depicted in different poses, one walking on the rainbow in a star costume. There are other words on the covers that appear to be in a foreign character set, but I do not understand them.

Trick or Treat! (These are not my OCs. They are Sam & Max by Steve Purcell. But they have several video adventure games.)

The cartoon characters Sam & Max, by Steve Purcell. Sam is an anthropomorphic dog wearing a blue suit, a tall blue hat, and a wide blue and black striped tie. Max is a lagomorph (resembles a rabbit) with long ears and a huge smile with large teeth. Sam is holding Max with one arm in this pose.

Looks like it's time for the cakes again. You've got plenty of good art, and I think you can find some good examples for portfolio day.

A 2-panel comic. The top panel shows an artist with a simple cake looking at a highly decorated double decker cake that has already been placed on the table. The artist says, "Aw, man, that guy's cake is way better than mine." The bottom panel shows the audience with a fork and knife, smiling and exclaiming, "Holy Shit! Two cakes!"
