Hey guys? For reasons, I'm gonna need you to go like the post I've quoted below. I need this adorable dragon.

A screenshot of two posts. The top post is made by Juniper, saying "I think sometimes it is important to draw a dragon the way your 9 year old self would have appreciated. Look at her. She's dreadful. What a splendid beast."
Below is a scrabbly-looking dragon in green.

The comment below this post is Tangent Joy, saying "If this gets 100 posts I'll add it to the game."

DAY 1, GAME 7: This Frog is Ruining My Dungeon Crawl by @shoutingcrow.bsky.social is a silly and fun solo dungeon crawl game where you race to escape a failed dungeon raid, aided (and hindered) by a magical frog. A good quick play mix of story and strategy. @shoutingcrow.bsky.social

Cover art for THIS FROG IS RUINING MY DUNGEON CRAWL, featuring said frog wearing a fancy pointed party hat. Probably because he’s expecting you to bring him cake.

Haven't been online much, but here's a doodle I did recently of a CATAPHRACTS character I'm playing. They're... a really different vibe, for me. Usually I play big old dudes. Anyway, I swear I'm still alive!

A pretty blonde with a magician's wand sticking through their updo covers their mouth, looking surprised. They are wearing star-shaped jewelry and a high-necked tunic.

That vigil is maybe the best example of bleed I have, by the way. Reconnecting with my spirituality through the game, both Augustus and myself holding a candle for the safety of a friend at once. I mean— there was a bomb threat in the middle of it. I was IN FULL DAD MODE, in that moment.

Picking up a pen and drawing something every day is a great way to build yourself up, especially when you don’t think of yourself as an artist. One day, you’ll feel like you’ve earned the title. Eventually you’ll realize you earned it the moment you picked up the pen. I’m proud of you, Exeunt.

A comic about making comics (the alt text took longer to write than the comic did to draw * I drew this a few years ago)

A 14 panel comic, a top tier of five panels shows a drawing of me, and in each of the subsequent panels the drawing of me gets simpler and simpler, with a cartoony drawing, a crude cartoon, then a stick man, then a smily face then a simple blob. Each time I'm saying "Hi"
Tier two, panel one, the smiley face is sad and saying "PJ! I can't draw!" "How can I make comics"
Panel 2, me as a simple cartoon "Oh that's ok, comics work..."
panel 3, me as a very crudely drawn figiure my head tilted at a funny angle and Im saying "No matter your skill level"
Panel 4 more simplistic drawing of me holding a ruler "As long as you can (sorta) draw a straight line " "(I use a ruler)"
Panel 5 even more simple drawing "And a bubble"
next (final) tier
Panel 1
A simple circle with two dots for eyes and a small line for a mouth and a balloon coming from his mouth saying "People can be quite forgiving about the artwork"
Panel 2 the round simple face meets a spikey simple face, spikey says "I'm not - I like GOOD artwork" me - "Oh"
Panel 3 me (still a smiley face, but straight line mouth ) I have two stick arms raised up with little stick fingers and I'm saying "...Sorry..."
Spike says "Bah"
Panel 4 (last panel) Me, slightly better drawn (but only just) "OK - not everyone is quite forgiving about art" "BUT I AM" "Good luck!"

Been a year. Time to repost this.

YOUR PORTFOLIO CRIT
THINGS I'D TELL YOU IF I WERE LOOKING AT YOUR WORK IN PERSON
1 Violating the 180 degree rule makes this sequence hard to follow
2 A few more incidental overlaps will make this foreshortening clearer
3 Symmetrical compositions with a character dead center imply an important moment. Don't draw every panel like that?
4 This __ looks kind of fake. Take the time to look at reference instead of just making it up
5 An establishing shot will help the reader understand where this takes place.
6 Find a life-drawing session to attend, or practice from photos online.
7 Show these pages to someone who doesn't know the story and ask them to tell the story back to you.
8. Nudge this part over a bit to eliminate that tangency.
9 You flattened out the depth by rendering the foreground, middle ground, & background with the same values. Create depth and direct the eye by organizing them into overlapping planes of light & dark.
10 there are better ways to use your time than rendering every brick.
11 these characters look like they're floating (or falling). Draw figures and bg from the same eye level.
12 Unless this will be a wordless comic, leave more room for the lettering

So the short answer is: single-leaf mutations are uncommon but possible in certain species, and it’s often the result of a virus! It is more likely that the nodule for that particular leaf was damaged or did not develop properly, resulting in unusual or incomplete growth.

A gold triangular bivalve shell with brassy stripes leaning against a piece of driftwood. It probably belonged to a zebra mussel before it was found as a half-shell in a local riverbed. After a boil and scrub, it is now decor in a sandy, well planted, but otherwise unoccupied fish tank.

The structure of that sentence got me all excited, thinking you had been best buddies with the Canada Arm since middle school. Which was surprising, considering it’s both an inanimate object and you’re a relatively *new* Canadian. Probably shouldn’t have jumped to that interpretation. Whoops.
