Hatched in a lab and raised on gin and tonic, cibokilley is a force of nature that can only be pacified by cats and shitposts. Doing the art thing in Vancouver, BC! I gotta update this feed with old art soon... My portfolio: https://qlippoth.net

English writer Mary Wollstonecraft died #OTD in 1797. Best known for her book, 𝘈 𝘝𝘪𝘯𝘥𝘪𝘤𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯 𝘰𝘧 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘙𝘪𝘨𝘩𝘵𝘴 𝘰𝘧 𝘞𝘰𝘮𝘢𝘯 (1792). It is a foundational text for feminism that argued for equal education and rights for women--challenging the notion of female inferiority. (1/2) #literature #LitSky #BookSky

A split-image composition featuring two historical elements side by side. On the left is an oil portrait painting of Mary Wollstonecraft, the 18th-century British philosopher and advocate for women's rights. She is depicted as a young woman in her late 20s or early 30s with fair skin, rosy cheeks, and auburn hair tucked under a black cap. She wears a simple white muslin gown draped loosely across her shoulders and chest in a classical, flowing style. Her expression is calm and thoughtful, gazing to the left with soft brown eyes against a dark, shadowy background that gives the portrait a dramatic, introspective mood. On the right is a close-up photograph of the title page from the first edition of her seminal work, A Vindication of the Rights of Woman (1792). The text is printed in elegant 18th-century typography with black ink on aged, slightly yellowed paper. The full title reads: "A VINDICATION OF THE RIGHTS OF WOMAN: WITH STRICTURES ON POLITICAL AND MORAL SUBJECTS. By MARY WOLLSTONECRAFT." Below are publication details: "LONDON: PRINTED FOR J. JOHNSON, N° 72, ST. PAUL'S CHURCH YARD. 1792." The page has a classic book layout with centered lines, decorative rules, and subtle printer's ornaments. The overall image juxtaposes Wollstonecraft's portrait with the foundational feminist text she authored, symbolizing her enduring legacy in women's rights and Enlightenment thought.

DOOM '98 Imagined what if id Software released an additional entry in the Doom series in 1998, using a technological mix between id Tech 2 and GoldSrc engine. Going for the blend of fantastical and grounded, which would be in vein of Half-Life and System Shock 2.

Comic artists (particularly newer and mid-experience folks)! I've put together 12* stories that you can use as portfolio/skill builders! 6 2-pagers, 6 4-pagers! 2 sci-fi, 2 horror, 2 superhero, a romance/slice of life, a comedy, a mystery, a Western, a smutty one, and 1 TBD. More info in 🧵

12 STORIES FOR COMIC ARTISTS TO PRACTICE WITH By David Mariotte A few notes from the writer: Please remember that these are all meant to be fairly simple stories. They are for practicing the art of sequential storytelling and are not a magnum opus for anyone. Focus on what is important to you--there are notes for specific color choices and the scripts include dialogue, captions, and SFX that could be lettered, but if that's not your skillset or what you want to work on, they should all work without! If you want, definitely ask someone to collaborate with you! Bring in a colorist or letterer friend to get them some practice too! These stories are meant to have enough details to help you tell the story, but also be open enough that you have a lot of flexibility to make them your own! These stories are provided for free for the purposes of building your portfolio. My only request is that you credit me and anyone else you work with correctly and that you don't sell the completed stories (it's fine to post them online for free/to include in your portfolio or website, I'm even okay if you end up putting them in a for-sale zine with a bunch of your other work as long as they're not the only or main thing in the zine) If you use AI in any capacity to create your version of these pages or you try to train an AI in any way with them (pages, script, etc), you owe me $100 million USD. Once you finish any scripts you dig, you can reach out to me at dmariottewebhost@gmail.com and we can schedule a 10-15 minute digital portfolio review. We’ll talk about the comic you made off these scripts. We can talk about some of your other work if you provide a full portfolio, your goals in comics, and how to get there. It’ll be fun and easy!
