Everywhere I look lately a cis-Male comic creator is announcing a female-led project whilst my timelines are flooded with accounts of SA, both adult & minor, and I’ve never been more aware of living in a Patriarchal society.

A man walks down a road surrounded by metal fencing. A bare foot steps into panel behind him. Graffiti on the fence reads “ I don’t believe in nothing”

Thank you so much for asking clarifying questions and making me think about it a bit more!

If you or anyone out there has an editorial or cover job that they need, I'd be more than happy to discuss those terms with attribution. This little 50-day project of mine is more for anyone looking to get a quick turnaround on a drawing/ tattoo idea/ character art/ background design or the like.

Randy Haldeman @randyhaldeman.bsky.social · 05/09/2026

No attribution necessary for these types of commissions, but it is always welcomed. If I we were discussing a more serious job, like editorial work for a magazine or website with tens of thousands of daily viewers, then this probably isn't the commission offer I'm putting out.

I'll hand over all rights for commercial use, as long as I can continue to use it in my portfolio. And I will gladly deliver them in any format that client would like. High-res PNG, JPG, TIF, SVG, or even PSD if that's preferable for someone who knows how to export their own file types!

Another from my Pridemon series, and maybe my favorite Pokémon created since Gen 2, Corviknight.

I 💙 Greninja. From my Pridemon series of illustrations.

An illustration of the ninja-frog Pokémon, Greninja. It is jumping quickly through the air with its bipedal legs pulled up to its body. Greninja's tongue is wrapped around its neck like a scarf and is trailing behind it with arms outstretched to its sides.

I just ask that you're okay with me using the art in my portfolio. No limit on requests either. If you want to book me for 5/50 days, then cool. Just let me know your price and what you want. DM or email me: RTHaldeman@gmail.com. Payment up front, art delivered at latest next day. Whose up first?

Randy Haldeman @randyhaldeman.bsky.social · 05/09/2026

Can we agree that you need to stop using AI for your art? I'm looking to do something crazy as an artist: book one commission a day for 50 days. Any budget, any subject, 100% digital unless you want to pay shipping and materials fees. You can check out more art on my portfolio: www.RandyHaldeman.com

If you have a comic, novel, Youtube channel, blog or anything that could use a cover illustration, I'm just asking that you'd consider me and my work. Any shares would be welcomed too. Here are two sample covers, and then I have more at the link here: hireillo.com/JuJ Thank you.💙

Anyone out there able to help out a fellow artist? Life is hitting my family quite hard monetarily right now. So I'm trying to do something I don't usually like to do; reach out to my community for help.

I still find it ridiculous that the right wants to keep banning books, like Maus. Meanwhile, they’ve never seemed to ask themselves why it’s possible to still buy books like Mein Kempf.

@brandonbarrows.bsky.social just delivered me the script to the story I was working on a few months ago. I wish I was able to write it myself, but it wasn't "my" story. Digging into the script today and I wanted to share the cover piece I made based on my first draft.

A golden crown with oval, crimson stones sits on cracked ground. In the background is a medieval metal cage door surrounded by dead vines growing on the walls. A red light shines from behind the door. The words "The Blight King" are typed in white with a thin white line border around the outside.

I remember some time ago I had this whole setup for doing this exact thing. However, I *think* I remember having to shorten the auto action. So I’d record my Pencils folder, Inks folder, Colors folder, etc. as their own button press. I forget why I did that, but your issue may be why.

As a Nintendo fan, I’m always up to play some Star Fox. As an artist, I’m kind of terrified of the new character renders. There’s something uncanny valley about them. Super Smash Bros. always handled the SF characters quite well, but now they’re too real. It’s Sonic all over again.

As someone who started their working life in a fast food job (and then another 15+ years of F&B and retail), I have never understood the term "unskilled labor." They required incredible skill and patience. And tbf, the reason is because of the people who think it is unskilled.

Routine change

Comic about a puppy who's routine has changed. The puppy says; "My routine has changed unexpectedly but that's okay I'll adapt" while the second panel shows inside the puppy's mind with smaller puppies saying; "okay everyone let's freak out and trigger an immune response"
