The Kim redesigned I've been thinking about this week 🐯 [ #art #oc #ocsky ]

Various arts of Kim, an OC with a head of a tiger and a body of a human. She is a redesigned of a drummer OC who is in a band. The first art from the left shows her baring her fangs, posing with both of her drum sticks. The bust head shows her just staring. The right art shows her wearing a long coat over her shoulder, side boobs showing. She is kneeling on the ground, her hand on her stomach. The low opacity sketches behind the finished arts are studies of drawing a tiger head and a scribble between Kim and Astrel.

“Mira and Zoey raced forward. Rumi paused, just long enough for the other demons to understand what they were facing, but not long enough for them to adjust, to figure out how to deal with this new threat. She lunged.” - Lay Me Down: Ch. 21 by general-zoi 1/2 #kpdh #polytrix #kpopdemonhunters

n an alleyway, Mira and Zoey are a blur rushing towards the camera with their weapons while Rumi stands behind looking her sword pointed down. She’s shaded by the building, and there is a glow coming from her sword and left eye.

Page 48
A grayscale comic page of Pearl, kneeling behind Marina, as she prepares to propose. She reaches into her boot, where she has stashed the engagement ring, and pulls it out. She holds it up after looking at it nervously. The words “When’s the moment you should chase” are super-imposed on either side of the panels.

Page 49
A grayscale comic page. Marina is shown from behind, addressing the crowd, while Pearl holds up the ring. She completes the question from the last page: “your dreams?” Then turns to look at Pearl, hand outstretched toward her.

Page 50
A full page illustration in grayscale. Pearl is seen from the back, kneeling in front of Marina, who is facing the camera with a shocked expression and one hand half held out to Pearl.

Page 51
A grayscale comic page. Along the top 1/3rd of the page, there are panels of Pearl and Marina, close ups of them while Pearl is kneeling and Marina has her hands over her mouth, one tentacle wrapped around her bicep, while she gasps “Pearlie?” Behind them, there is a music staff with notes floating toward the third panel, where Acht is shown leaning forward in the sound booth and hitting a button to stop the music, which cuts off.

Under that, there is a full illustration of the Grand Fest grounds from the POV of the stage, where Pearl kneels in front of Marina, holding up the ring and saying, “It’s right now.” The crowd can be seen behind them.

Page 44
A grayscale comic page, divided in half with one large panel on top and three smaller, square ones on bottom. The large, top panel depicts Off the Hook on their floating platform during Three Wishes, hovering over the crowd. They are drawn from the back, and the words “When we find out what lies at our journey’s end, when I get there together with my dearest friends” are superimposed over the drawing.

The bottom three panels depict Off the Hook as they age: first, they are hosting a mentorship event, where they are shown shaking hands with a new musical trio; second, they are shown in an office, Pearl in the background having a spirited phone call and Marina in the foreground at a computer; on the table, a sheet of paper reading “OTH Label” is under Marina’s elbow. The third panel is of Pearl and Marina’s hands holding up a Lifetime Achievement award.

Page 45
A grayscale comic page. An older Pearl is shown in the Houzuki mansion, looking at the countless awards that Off the Hook has won in a large glass case. Her left hand trails over the glass and she has a wedding ring on her ring finger. From off page, a voice calls, “Pearlie?” and Pearl turns to find Marina in bed, wrinkly and smiling.

Pearl: I’m here Rina.

Marina reaches up to stroke Pearl’s face.

Marina: I’m surprised you’re still up. Rough day?

Pearl: Nah.

Page 46
A full page illustration in grayscale. Pearl and Marina are centered on the page and are about 100 years old, with wrinkles, crow’s feet, and age spots. Pearl leans over so Marina can kiss her on the cheek, and they’re both smiling. The words “Having you by my side makes today perfect.”

Page 47
A grayscale comic page. Pearl is shown opening her eyes as she comes back from her imagining of the future to land right back in the present moment of the Three Wishes performance.

In the center of the page, running from the bottom left corner to the top right, there are three images of Pearl and Marina interacting: the first is the pair sitting a bed with sheet music between them; the second is of them sharing a burger and fries and laughing; the third is of them performing together in their Inkopolis News costumes. The same bright glowing line runs from the first image through to the third.

Marina looks at Pearl, confused, and Pearl shrugs back, thinking to herself, ‘ACT NORMAL ACT NORMAL ACT NORMAL ACT NORMAL.’ Callie grins at a confused Marina while the stage hands call for lights out and the platform begins to vibrate and move upwards.

Inkfish flank either side of the path, waiting expectantly for the Three Wishes performance to begin, some with merch and some with lightsticks. There is text superimposed over the bottom of the image that reads:

1 HOUR BEFORE DAWN
5 PERFORMANCES REMAIN

Page 21
A grayscale comic page. The first, largest panel depicts the crowd waiting for the show to start. In the audience, we can see the NSS agents crowded in the front, along with the comic’s team on either side of them.

The camera pans down to under the stage, where Pearl is talking to herself, “Oh, they’re going wild up there…”

She climbs onto the platform while Marina talks to Big Man nearby, clutching her stomach and thinking, “Ugh, shouldn’t have eaten those fries…”

Page 22
A grayscale comic page focused on the space under the stage. Pearl is drawn clutching her midsection while her stomach gurgles and she thinks. ‘Four more go arounds before the last one. C’mon Pearl, pull it together. You’ve made it this far–’

She turns to see Callie and Marie approaching their places and thinks to herself, ‘Oh, right. Finally time to tell Callie.’

Marie pulls Callie aside and whispers in her ear. Callie reacts with a wide-mouthed shocked gasp.

Page 23
A grayscale comic page with lots of small, quick panels. Pearl holds up one finger to her lips in a shushing motion and points at Marina where she’s talking to Big Man. Callie, visibly shocked, looks back and forth between Pearl and Marina, before opening her mouth wide to exclaim something.

Marie’s hand slaps over her mouth, muffling her. A stage-hand–a sunfish on two legs (who the creative team have named Jessica)--calls out, “Places everyone! Lights out in thirty!”

Featured is a conversation between Shiver and Pearl while the other idols are seen behind them, eating and stretching. The idols are all dressed in their Three Wishes costumes. Shiver is shown leaning toward Pearl, both in shadow, to conference with her in secret. She says, “She keeps looking at you.”

Pearl leans back toward her and says, “I know. I got Marie on it.”

They both look over their shoulders to see Marie approaching Marina. Shiver hums as she watches, “Hmmm…”

Page 17
A grayscale comic page of a conversation between Marina and Marie in front of a snack table in a Grand Fest tent. Marie is explaining something to Marina, who is listening intently while clutching one of her own tentacles.

Marie says, “The producers asked me to tell you… When you say, ‘When is the moment you should chase your dreams?’ you keep looking at Pearl. They think it’ll be better if you ask the crowd and then look at Pearl when she answers from behind you. More dynamic.”

Page 18
A grayscale comic page that shifts focus back on Shiver and Pearl. They continue their conversation from before; Shiver looks unconvinced as she says, “This plan is too convoluted. If she forgets. It’s over.”

Pearl shifts her weight forward as she smiles and says, “She won’t forget.” She raises a hand and calls out, “‘Rina! Let’s get some food in ya!”

Before she can go, she turns to Shiver and gives her a two fingered salute. “Thanks for letting me do this by the way. I owe you guys one.”

Shiver waves a hand at her. “Yes, yes, and we’ll be sure to collect. Go grab your future, Houzuki.”

Pearl turns away, thinking ‘My future, huh?’ while Marina greets her with an excited, “Pearlie, they have fries!”

Page 19
A grayscale comic page with two, vertically stacked, square panels. In the first, a stagehand calls, “Back on in twenty! Only ten more times, everyone!” while Deep Cut is seen stuffing food into their faces in the background.

In the second, Callie and Marie are depicted in a smaller square, Callie stuffing Marie’s face with food and saying, “You heard them Marie! Eat so you have energy!”

Marie reacts with, “Callie, I’m fin– Mmph!”

As she stands next to Marina, she glances over at the Squid Sisters and Deep Cut, who are in varying states of exhaustion (except for Callie, who is spritely and excited), and thinks, “Oh, man. Everyone is pretty tapped. Everyone except Callie…”

She looks at Marina, who is trading the microphone for an energy drink and thinks, “And Marina. …I think that’s her third one? *I’LL* be needing one soon myself. Good thing we get another break after this around. What we really need is food. Well, it has been nine hours since we started. And we gotta hold out for another three.

Pearl: Hey ‘Rina. (The audio system repeats this at full volume before butting off with a BZZT– because Acht cuts it in the sound booth.) Rina… I– Y’know, I had this whole speech prepared and I was gonna tell you how much you mean’ta me and everything. But you already know all that.

Pearl: Y’know me– I try to live in the present, but without you… I wouldn’t have this moment, and… I just want to make sure that my present always has you in it.

Gotta Find Me a Future Part Two: Dawn (1/16) Without further ado, @theashemarie.bsky.social , @katiemonz.bsky.social , @lycaneum.bsky.social , and I present Gotta Find Me a Future Part Two: Dawn! #pearlina #GottaFindMeaFuture

Page 1 - COVER
A full page, full color comic cover.

The cover page depicts a backstage tent at the Grand Festival, where the idols are preparing for their Three Wishes performances. In the center of the image, Pearl’s hands are holding up a hinged compact mirror and an engagement ring. The bottom half of the mirror reveals half of Pearl’s face, smiling fondly. The top half of the mirror reflects Marina as she is putting in her earrings at a makeup vanity. She is dressed in her Grand Festival top and sweatpants, depicted from behind with her tentacles pulled up and out of the way so that her back is fully visible. Marina is lit from the front so that there is a slight glow bouncing off her skin. We can also see a bit of her face in the mirror in front of her.

The engagement ring is silver with small, turquoise stones.

The title and subtitle of the comic are inked in the top middle of the page, above the main illustration:

GOTTA FIND ME A FUTURE
Part Two: Dawn

Page 2

A grayscale comic page. It is a full page illustration of an ink droplet being shot toward the bottom of the page.

Page 3

A grayscale comic page with three panels. The ink droplet travels across the page before landing in a splatter on the ground.

Page 4
A grayscale comic page depicting two scenes from Grand Fest. The first panel is a crowd reaction shot of multiple inklings, octolings, and jellyfish reacting to the battle they're watching.

The second, bigger panel depicts the commentator booth. Two commentators, an inkling and a jellyfish, are looking up at off-screen action with microphones on the table before them. Behind them, the media crew of the event are shown in front of multiple monitors.

A woman says "it's weird how 9/11 became a national holiday." Another woman, aghast, says "Oh No! That means..." We see Jack Skellington in the woods beyond Halloweentown approaching a tree with doors shaped like the World Trade Center. He emerges from an airplane bathroom in front of a bunch of terrified passengers and says "what's this?" We see the plane about to crash into tower one. Jack once again asks "what's this?"

Redraw of a near decade old print- this one (old version) was a best seller for me so I thought to revisit it. #splatoon

I need people to show up for fighting ID Verification laws the same way y'all hammered payment processors because they're effectively the same issue but ID Verification violates your rights & safety even more making it easier for the government to come after you & your personal info to be stolen

RIP Ask Jeeves. The natural-language search engine founded in 1996 was rebranded as Ask in 2006, and officially shut down May 1. When websites close, the historical record can disappear with them. The #WaybackMachine preserves 30 years of web history: web.archive.org #90s #90sNostalgia #WebHistory

Image with text at the top that reads: "Wayback Machine Then and Gone" then "askjeeves.com / ask.com". Below are Wayback Machine captures of the websites from December 19, 1996 and May 3, 2026; the latter signaling the end of the service.

ikea has this new storage chest for kid's rooms that looks like a mimic, and I applaud this kind of thinking. it's good to teach children about the dangers of mimics early, so they don't fall prey to one the first time they go adventuring
