just a comic about society-wide burnout, depression, and isolation

A group of quiet gray nondescript people sit on a bench, all looking down, their hands held in various positions of distress and anxiety. In the second panel, the one in the middle speaks up - “We're all... here... right?” “I think we're here together...” “... I think we all want to scream for help...”

We zoom in on the talking middle person as the others try to avoid looking at them, the person continuing, “But we know we're all here... And if we need help, so does everyone else... We want to help, I think”... in the second panel the face is zoomed in completely but layered over images of colorful bright happier people helping their loved ones – one cooks for a sick friend, an abled person is sweeping up for a person in a wheelchair, two are hugging as one cries, and one is a person painting a fence.... “I think we fantasize about all the ways we wish we could help the people we love...” “All the ways we could be there if we weren't so broken, so tired, so numb...” “... Then we swim in the guilt of not doing any of those things...” “... Because we need help too... but there's no one we can ask... because we know they need it more” “... We're all... HERE... right?”

The gray middle person looks to their side as the others stay silent, the room darkening around them as they wait. In the last, they look even more alone as they speak, “... It's okay. I know you're too tired to answer” “... I'm here too” “... I get it...”

i have to wonder every time i use the rain spell in #FieldsofMistria... does the rain JUST cover my farm, or... does the whole town think some weird shit is goin on. and if so. are they mad @ me

Comic of March from Fields of Mistria in his Blacksmith garb, working on something on the forge as he thinks to himself "Okay, I got up a half an hour early, surely I can get some work done before that weird daily morning rain..." but alas! In the next panel, a single raindrop goes "DRIP!" on his head, leading to panel three with full rainfall and a wet March screaming "NOOOO!" but then! it is revealed that this is all in a thought bubble, as it is a dream, and March is dry in his bed with his wife and sleeping orange cat, thinking to himself, "Right... it's just a dream" with a tired smile on his face

March and the farmer cuddle in bed, smiling to each other while the orange cat yawns and March thinks to himself, "Married now... living at the farm... no more early mornings at the forge in the rain..." we go to the next panel where March and the farmer are in the kitchen getting their coffee. She is laughing while March pours some for himself and he thinks, "Can't believe how happy she makes me..." the next panel is a sketchy stick figure drawing in a heart as the farmer says, "I'm gonna do some watering, enjoy your coffee, love!" the next panel is back to a normal square panel size and March is holding his coffee and walking past a curtain, glancing toward the light from the window

From outside we see the farmer casting magic, her eyes and hands glowing a bright blue-green as she chants totally nonsense glowing symbols I, the artist, made up on the spot. March is glancing from the window. In the second panel he squints curiously through the glass with a confused expression, and the light from outside is starting to darken. In the third panel the window glass is wet from the pouring rain and March has a look of shock and offense at discovering the source of the accursed daily morning rain

In the game #DateEverything you can turn your nice coffee maker into Kopi, a friendly barista who's passionate about coffee and loves to share fun facts and history about it. But that's a NICE coffee maker. So I thought to myself, what if the main character owned a Keurig instead?

a bored barista named Curie designed as a gijinka for a Keurig coffee machine - she's looking at her phone while handing you your to-go cup and saying "What's 'in it'? Ugh, how should I know"

been playing #SWTOR again and decided this is now my precious baby. Casima Vass - she is a totally-rebuilt cyborg #jedi whose chronic pain is managed via the Force. and your honor, i LOVE her 😭

my Star Wars character Casima, a pale woman with a long white braid, scars covering her body with vaguely-glowing cybernetic white eyes. she's drawn three times, one time a full body drawing with her double-bladed pink lightsaber and black outfit as she uses some force abilities, second drawing is simply a shoulder-up look at her face, and the third shows her bare back with her shirt lowered and hair loose, her spinal scarring on full display as she explains "Most the upgrades were internal..."

My dragon sorcerer Rowena, drawn for... absolutely no reason except vibes and the initial idea of needing special lotion for dragon scales

A dark curly-haired woman is wet from the bath, sitting on a wicker chair with her skirt draped over it. Her hair and body are wrapped by towels as she holds a lotion container with one hand and applies lotion to the dragon scales on her knees with the other. She has other scales on her hips, shoulders, and forehead. The bathroom is steamy and filled with sunlight, wooden walls and tiled floors, with plants decorating the corners

i didn't HAVE to draw dramatic art for a backstory for my Starfinder character, like... this didnt HAVE to happen. buuut i had fun ANYWAY so

This is a POV shot, where you're a presumed mercenary who's broken into this scifi apartment, but things haven't gone well for you. You're on the ground looking up as a pale woman with glowing antennae stands above you, dressed for sleep and covered in blood, holding out an electrified knife. This woman's apartment is in shambles behind her - her bed, mirror, walls, cabinets are in various states of broken and bloodied from the fight. A large round window shows a rainy night in a city with two moons in the sky. The woman is speaking as she walks, "shouldn't have woken me up..."

My fancypants aasimar divine soul sorcerer, Sohra, enjoying some midday tea outside

This is a beige-shaded drawing I've done of a fancy young woman with long light hair pouring herself some tea while she slightly smiles down on a butterfly that's landed on her wrist. It's implied she's seated outdoors with some simple background details of her lace-covered table and some leaves behind her, light shining through them. the art is done on Clip Studio Paint but purposefully made to look more traditional and sketch-like with papery textures and colors

this D&D eladrin ranger is just directly based on the scout I'm playing in Avowed rn

An elven woman sits in a tree illuminated through the leaves by sunlight. She has medium blonde hair in a messy bun, in tone not too different from her tanned and freckled skin, a light scar over her lips. Her amber eyes are looking offscreen as she reaches to take an arrow from the quiver on her back, her bow gripped in her other hand. She's dressed in browns and grays with a bit of red accents, leathers fit for a ranger. Her most unique quality however are the small tree branches growing out of her head like a crown of horns, small autumn leaves growing from each of them.

Playing a #DnD one shot tonight, trying out a shifter barbarian named Yama because tall muscled cat lady sounded bitchin'

Character art of a tall well-muscled female barbarian with cat-like ears and tail and spots that match her short hair. In one side of the art it's a full body shot with her and her sword, a daring grin on her face. In the other it's a half-body shot with her simply holding her water canteen, a much more playful smile on her scarred face

i have been playing #Avowed and i love my little scholarly nerd girl Chryss

My Avowed character, the godlike Chryss, an elven woman with purple eyes, wavy purple-black hair to her upper back, and large colorful mushrooms forming a sort of crown on her head. her eyebrows are also colorful fungus, and I draw her in three poses. The first, she's happily reading a book and rambling about it in scribbly speech bubbles with no actual visible words. the second drawing is just a face shot with her smiling, and in the last I drew a full-body one of her gripping a spellbook to her side in one hand, fighting with a wand in the other. she's a bit bruised and bloodied but determined to keep fighting

Got some calming treats for Shayera to see if they can help her anxiety. Only gave her three, as that's about as much as the instructions said she should have. After closing the container and not giving her any more treats, I would NOT describe her demeanor as "calm"

Photo of my adorable tortie cat Shayera, her lil tiny baby face is alert and eyeing my non-photo-taking hand (offscreen) as she hopes said hand is about to open that damn treat jar again

I've been on an obsessive #BG3 #Shae'zel (IDK if that's the ship name I just like saying it) kick lately. I did a #Shadowheart playthrough just to romance #Lae'zel only to finish it and IMMEDIATELY start a Lae'zel playthrough to kiss Shadowheart so this is just who I am rn

A four-part little art series on one page of Shadowheart and Lae'zel from Baldur's Gate 3 as a progressing couple. One shot of them kissing, one of them cuddling in front of fire with the githyanki egg, one of Lae'zel holding the githyanki baby in a chest sling as she says "With this contraption, we shall be able to bring Xan into battle with us" as an incredulous arms-crossed Shadowheart replies with a flat "Lae'zel" - in the last piece, a smiling Shadowheart is holding a giggling slightly-older baby Xan as Lae'zel playfull bites on his shirt, saying "Grrrr!!, the mighty Xan shall fall to my fangs!"

this canonical #BG3 quote from #Astarion happened in my first #Durge (resist) playthrough RIGHT in the middle of a bad week for me and it made me laugh SO much (with love) and I had to draw my out-loud in-real-life reaction to what he said (and WAY overdo it on details because it was fun)

first panel shows Astarion from Baldur's Gate 3, shirtless and sitting outside his camp tent first thing in the morning, smiling to some one offscreen, hearts aside his words as he says "Precious little Bhaal-babe!". In the second panel, a drow woman named Vix, aka The Dark Urge, replies with "... the fuck did you just call me?" but with some confused hearts of her own in her shot. She's also sitting in front of his tent, brushing her black hair and staring incredulously with two differently colored eyes

First #art of 2025, since it feels like a brooding-on-a-rooftop kind of vibe so far this year idk #OCart #DnDArt #tielfing

my little gray tiefling Arissa, with her big poofy white curls wet in the rain, a streak of lightning behind her as she crouches on a rooftop, holding a dagger and looking down at a shadowed nighttime city. she wears leather armor and a red hooded cloak, one of her too-small wings covered by it while the other is outstretched

sometimes a FB comment on a meme is SO bad and funny about how bad it is that you gotta just add it

Squid Game meme with the main character smiling cheerfully and the text reading "at least i'm not in the literal squid game and am just in the reality that the squid game is a metaphor for" followed by a screenshot at the bottom of a woman named Elena on facebook commenting (to the laughter and tears of others) "Why can't we just enjoy the show without it being misconstrued as a class war show" she adds a sparkly emoji here but that might not be important

😩 I couldn't decide if I was gonna keep this Arissa pose/pic upsidedown or not and finally went "well ok fuck it" and just saved two versions #tiefling #arissa #art #dndart

Arissa the gray-skinned tiefling is beat up in this one, bloodied and bruised and fresh off a fight, but relaxed and leaning against a wall, looking up towards the "camera" as she takes a drag off what I assume is a cigarette, her curly white hair an absolute mess

this is the exact same image of Arissa but with the "camera" flipped upside down for another angle

Medusa's Morning Coffee, because sometimes all a cranky morning needs is a lil' sippy

The character of Medusa in panel one is pouring some coffee in a large purple mug as a couple of her snakes peek out from behind the towel wrapped on her head, starting to hiss at each other - "Oy! No fighting" she says - in panel two she and the snakes are both sipping from the mug, quiet and satisfied, little "sip!" noises all over the place

Good lord, Friday my sniper makes and throws a molotov cocktail, Saturday my bard blows a kiss as a way to cast Thunderwave, this is just a weekend where I needed to blow stuff up I guess (yes this is artistically excessive for Thunderwave, but the vibes are on point) #DnDArt #Art #OCArt

an elven woman dressed in fashionable bard clothes is standing in tall heeled boots and blowing a kiss - mwa! - that causes a bright sea-green explosion of magic - there were enemies in the actual scene where this happened but I only drew Siren with the explosion because I didn't wanna do all that

A pale Lashunta woman with a long white braid and cybernetic implants covering her under-shaved head. She's holding a freshly lit molotov cocktail in one hand and her sniper rifle in the other, a speech bubble shows her saying "All right then, it's a party" with some emphasis on "party"

Hazel the faun, a deer girl dressed in green and holding a tray of warm cookies

A tall overweight elf with dark skin and golden freckles, dressed in bright autumn colors with long antlers adorned with gold. There is a golden sparrow beside her that matches her golden eyes and make-up

A lanky aarakocra, a bird-person, genderless but not swagless, dressed neatly and designed after a secretary bird - fittingly, they are using a quill to do some paperwork

Art of a D&D character, a blue-skinned triton gal with sea-green freckles and markings, wearing a modern breezy top and a dark blue Maya Kern skirt designed with jellyfish that have similar colors to her skin. She also has a purse with a crab design, a nod to her familiar, a crab named Fiero

In the first panel a girl admires her matching black clothes in the mirror with the caption "Goth Fantasy", but in the next panel she's opened her front door and in the sunlight, every piece of black clothing is a different type of black, with the caption "Goth Reality" - she looks disappointed
