Since I'm getting a bunch of practise inking with a brush, I thought I'd do so throughout the following month in a breakthrough and wholly original concept I'm calling 'Octobink'. I'll be doodling mine and my friends' OCs and there's very little short of kidnap you can do to stop me. #Octobink

A black ink-brush illustration on white paper sits on a purple carpet. The illustration shows the patchwork construct character October leaning back and looking up at the title 'Octobink' above them. Holding a finger to their mouth, they say 'That sounds a b-bit cumbersome'. They are flanked with horizontal black lines of increasing thickness as they descend.

Next up it's @probablecryptid.bsky.social's wonderfully starry-eyed (that might be concussion) Scout. Is this a space scene or are they stuck down a glittery hole? I'll never tell. #Octobink

A black ink-brush illustration on white paper sits on a purple carpet. The illustration shows the time-travelling Scout surrounded by a black, starry void, their eyes equally star-shaped in a look of wonder. They wear a frog-themed bucket hat, various necklaces and saturn-shaped earrings.

The adventures of young January and February continue with an outdoor excursion. Will they ever find out why moths aren't birds? No. #October&Co

A digital comic showing the younger lives of the young adult January and child February, recently abandoned frankenstein-eque constructs trying to make it through life. Outside in the pinkish-blue evening glow of a recreation park, January sits hunched over a wooden bench-table, scraggly mane cascading from their green hood, holding an open book in their hands. The young February trots in, with pink shirt, low-ponytail and bright eyes, brandishing a yellow/pink moth in their outstretched hands.
Feb: January! Can I ask a question?
Jan: Sure buddy, fire
Feb: What bird is this?
Jan: That's a moth. I think. It's not a bird.
Feb: Why isn't it a bird?
Jan: Uh... it... We'll ask someone at the zoo next week, yeah?
Feb: Okay
February shuffles up to January's side as the two of them look into the book January holds. The moth flitters around as January's expression drops slightly, as they start scanning the pictures in lieu of any meaningful ability to read the words.
Feb: Are you reading about food again?
Jan: Trying. Just a little project of mine.

February points into the book
Feb: What's a ha... haoma?
Jan: Oh, it's a kind of, uh, plant syrup. I think? Bit like soma. Hang on, I'll show you a picture.
January starts flicking through pages in search of an illustration they recognise as February patiently waits tucked up against their shoulder. The moth has settled on February's surprisingly still head.

After a slightly embarrassingly long time, January has a realisation and looks over to February.
Jan: Wait... You can *read*!?
February turns to face them and nods quietly, causing the moth to flutter off.
Now in the warm fluorescent ambience of a communal kitchen, the siblings stand before a stovetop. Little February holds the recipe book open, now wearing a small catering cat and bow-tie before bowls and bags of well laid-out ingredients. January's hair now contained in a hair net, stands wielding a wooden spoon poking into of a spattered saucepan, matching the state of the ingredients beside them. February reads out the recipe:
Feb: Then two... 'T.S.'?
Jan: Teaspoons?
Feb: Two teaspoons of 'Newt Extract'
Jan: You mean this?
They uncertainly display a red jar to February who leans in to read the label.
Feb: Umm... That says 'Cockatrice Purée'
Jan: They're similar, right?
Feb: Mmm... We should try it.
Jan: Good idea.

In celebration of my drawing tablet malfunctioning for a whole month, I thought I'd finally get around to posting the first comic I drew and 'inked' (see 'drew over with a random fineliner') on paper. I've gotten more practise since then, so perhaps a retrial is in order. #OutliersComic

A four-panel comic strip set in an autumnal park, as four people walk through decked in warm clothing, carrying presents. Ahead Cat sings the song 'California Dreaming', her brother Malakhi trailing the pack, offering the call-and-response backing lyrics with slight modifications.
Cat: All the leaves are brown~
Mal: [Pointing at Rufus] All his clothes are brown!
Cat: And the sky is grey~
Mal: [Pointing at the monochrome Stoic] And this guy is greeeeeey!
Cat: I've been for a walk
Mal: [Punching the air on each syllable] I've! Been! For! A! Walk!
Cat: On a winter's day~
Mal: On Emm Winters' daaaaaay!!
At this last line the group arrive at a table where a scruffy lady Emm Winters is wearing party favours, sat behind a waffle-tower cake and small pile of aforementioned presents. Mal wraps his arms around her for this last line as she blows a party blower into the air.

Going back and archiving my nonsense, remembering when I used to have the energy and wherewithal to experiment more with styles. I thus stumbled upon this almost 6 year-old comic. Unlike most of my work at that time I still think this holds up, so you get to see it again. #OutliersComic

A black and yellow webcomic in the rubber-hose animation style of 'Bendy and the Ink Machine'. The title card reads "Why We Didn't Finish Bendy and the Ink Machine" below some dripping yellow and black goop. Four people are seen beneath the title: On the left the long-haired Emm lurches enthusiastically, wearing yellow overalls and a wide smile. Beside her the sharp-haired Malakhi holds his middle finger up, the bottom of frame cutting off his black cocktail dress and heels. Beside him the stone-masked Stoic gestures non-chalantly, his white tailed suit hidden from view. Finally on the right shrugs Rufus, with a big round beard, black suit and bow-tie.

These four character run down a corridor towards the camera, away from a creepy smiling silhouette. Emm runs nervously, arms wobbling in the air, behind the terrified Rufus. Beside him Stoic jogs with no apparent urgency and arms folded, whilst Malakhi strides forward looking back angrily.
Malakhi: Quick! Run from the demons!
Stoic: Or homunculi.
Malakhi: Whatever!

Having escaped the demons or homunculi or whatever, the group stop to set their next plans. Rufus, in the middle, is not keeping track as Malakhi abruptly thrusts an axe into his hand and Stoic stands before him with a syringe and beating heart.
Malakhi: Here's an axe! Attack the watermelons!
Rufus: The w-
Stoic: I require six inked hearts acquired using this syringe.
Rufus: Uh...

Still carrying the axe and syringe, the confused Rufus is now being handed yet more nonsense by Malakhi and Stoic:
Malakhi: Beardo! Quick! Use this shard of glass with a lightbulb on it. It's magic or something!
Stoic: Create a facsimile of pipework and cogs using only this ink tumor.
Malakhi: Don't forget the banjo!

Now loosely holding a plethora of junk in his arms, Rufus looks to his side to see Emm nervously leaning in and sticking a plunger to his head with a loud 'PLOP'

We zoom out to see everyone but Rufus and his pile of nonsense have left. He stands in the silence for a beat.

Rufus: Can somebody please explain literally anything?

The book cover of Phantom and Rook by Aelina Isaacs

On a busy market street in a modern town with tudor architecture a warm glow illuminates the crowds & stores that line the road. There is a seasonal festival, which is evident over this hustle because of the decorations of red & gold bunting and flags crisscrossed cross over head, and sunflowers have been pinned on the beams and roof tops. Between all the people, two men have seen each other. A tall brown man, with a mane of curly black hair, wearing a knitted rainbow duster, looks over his shoulder with the confusion of a clouded memory. He has arms full of shopping in paper bag, herbs, flowers and bottles, he has to be on his way and the crowd is moving, but still he lingers as he looks at the other man. The other man is small, thin, freckled and has a shock of red hair that is firey in the dawn light, he is taking the hood of his green jersey like he is going to pull it over his head, but before he does he looks back at the second man. The heaviness of his heart and thin hope are evident in his face.

The ebook cover of The Voice of Wild Places by Noah Hawthorne.

Two men stand on mossy rocks, surrounded by ferns and other tropical foilage. Blue butterflies are perched on the rocks at their feet.

The man on the left has a cane tucked under his arm, and he stares at the world around him in wonder, an old 30s era camera held in his hands. He is dressed in boots, slacks, and a button down with rolled up sleeves and suspenders. His black hair is cut close on the sides, and long on top. He wears glasses, and has a joint dangling from his lips.

The man on the right has a map stretched out between his hands, but he is staring at his companion with a fond and excited look on his face. He is dressed in boots, slacks, a button down with rolled up sleeves, and a waist coat. He has a satchel slung over his shoulder, and a knife strapped to his belt. He has short but shaggy brown hair, and is missing the tip of his left pinky finger.

The ebook cover of Matsdotter and Adrastus by Aelina Isaacs.

Two men embrace each other in a warmly lit area between bookshelves. They hold each other as if dancing, and stare adoringly into each other's eyes. The man on the left is short, white, and has trim brown hair. He wears glasses and a brilliant red jacket with black lacing. He smiles wide at his companion. The taller man has waist length black hair and translucent dragon fly like wings extending from his back, and brown skin. He dresses in all black, and has golden lines inscribed into his cheekbones. He stares down at fondly at his companion with a quiet smile.

The ebook cover of The Rebel Foxes by Noah Hawthorne.

A woman with long curly blonde hair and dark skin wears a leather jacket, tight pants, and a gas mask full of plants. She sprays magical green spray paint to the left and right across a stone corridor. She has a determined look on her face.

Mochizuki & Xlato

A book cover for Mochizuki & Xlato by Noah Hawthorne, also known as Aelina Isaacs, illustrating a pale vampire, wearing a white shirt with the sleeves rolled up, a dark waist coat and dark slacks, laying on his back in the wet midnight grass. He smokes a cigarette, whose strong tobaccan smoke wafts in the air in a thick stylized current, floating into the moonlight and carrying his lower body up with it. He doesn't pay it any heed though, because he is looking for aliens. His attention is entirely consumed looking into the end of the brass telescope that he lays under, adjusting dials and tilting the angle because some exterior force keeps subtly shifting the scope. That force, meddling with the telescope, is the incredibly obvious alien floating in the smoke. They are a huge being, large enough to near fill the cover with their imposing girth, and they are a handsome one with all the charisma of the god Dionysus and the quiet personal amusement of the fey. They have grey skin that glitters with the fragmented hues of opals between patterns like a shark that are most apparent in their long ribbon like ear lobes. Their half lidded eyes are black with white irises and look down over a shallow wide nose with condensing humour at the vampire looking for them. They're not exactly a danity creature, at least a plump four times the width of the vampire, and even in the dark they glow from the gills slicing through their cheeks and neck. What's more they are not a modest dresser, in open flowing robes that themselves are transparent, and a silk scarf with jingling celestial jewellery. But still, in the starry night they remain unnoticed and amuse themselves with this fact by gently pushing the telescope that is being utilised to find them.

As a little nightcap to this comic, here's a doodle of Jay & Kay sharing a peaceful evening with Jay's perfectly-functioning long furby child. It's not cursed, you can't prove it.

A blue-toned doodle of Jay and Kay sat on a sofa in the middle of the night, a blanket draped over their legs. Kay concentrates on crocheting a Wailmer plush as Jay leans fully asleep, clasping the long furby wrapped around them and dangling off the seat. The long furby's head leans on Kay's shoulder and glitchily squawks: "Hey! TicklllllllWHOA... aaH~Sleep! SleeeEEEeeeEEeeEEEEeeeeE~southeasterly winds~ hA hA! Yum! Yum! Yum! Yum! YUM! YUM! YUM!

Another comic from the newsletter archives, another written whilst daydreaming at a wedding. This time Kay gets to flex his rugby skills, much to Jay's chagrin. #OutliersComic

A four-panel comic. In a dark purple-tinted nightclub we see three people at a bar: Elle, in yellow dress and long brown hair, talks to Kay, in peach jacket with shaggy blonde hair, who holds the torso of his grumpy-looking partner Kay, wearing fishnet gloves and medium-length dark hair.
Elle: Oh Flower, how did the wedding go yesterday?
Kay: It was, umm... nice.
Elle: And did you end up using those rugby skills for the bouquet?
Kay: Uh...
We cut to the wedding, a gaggle of silhouetted guests are reaching up to catch a tossed bouquet. Kay leaps into the air, deftly grabbing it, as Jay looking up in surprise.
Moments later we see Kay land with a look of determination as he just as deftly tosses the bouquet behind him, much to the more stilted surprise of Kay.
Back at the bar Elle leans back, slapping the counter in laughter, pulling Kay into her.
Kay: It was just a reflex.
Jay: *Sure*...
Kay: I said I'm sorry...

Another self-indulgent OC doodle-grid from a little while back, with prompts foraged from somewhere online I cannot trace back to. Either way my friends yelled at me for getting emotional at this one, so you have been warned.

A purple-toned 3-by-3 grid of scribbly character portraits, columns and rows labelled to form sentences as given from top-bottom, left-right:
"Jokes on you, I don't value myself" shows a slightly melancholy Malakhi looking upwards dismissively whilst scrunching his mouth, as if dismissing the prompt.
"You underestimate how much I value myself" shows Kay reaching an arm into Malakhi's box, putting a hand on his shoulder in support. Beneath his scraggly mop-top his expression seems more reassuring than Mal's.
"Unfortunately I was taught not to value myself" sees the construct January and human Emm, the latter smooshing her face into the former's head, both wild hairdos intertwining. Emm wraps her arms around Jan as they lean in with a content smile.
"Jokes on you, I don't have a conscience" sees Claudio, a small rag doll, leaning against the bottom of the frame, resting his head on one hand. He stares at the viewer, either aggravated or bored.
"You underestimate how much I have a conscience" sees human Cat and construct February standing back-to-back. Cat looks back over her tousled hair with signature unimpressed stare toward February, returning with their signature gormless smile.
"Unfortunately I was taught not to have a conscience" sees Dane the wyrm leaning on the head of Luna the wolf-woman. Both look tired for their own reasons and neither seem happy to be awarded this category.
"Jokes on you, I don't forgive others" sees a trio of the masked Stoic, and construct siblings May and June, all glaring down judgementally at the viewer. Whatever you did I don't think you're getting away with it.
"You underestimate how much I forgive others" sees November reclining in their wheelchair, with a relaxed stare at the viewer, tilting to reach out a welcoming hand.
"Unfortunately, I was taught not to forgive others" sees the dramatically-lit Elle staring at the viewer with blank menace, holding aloft a small metal lighter illuminating the closer parts of her face.

One day I'll have a consistent posting schedule, but until then I'll keep intermittently floating on my backlog of newsletter comics. In today's entry Jay makes a ghoulish discovery as Kay deals with both them and poorly-written recipes. #OutliersComic

A comic strip with two characters in a minimalist orange kitchen. Blonde-haired Kay stands in front of a stove shaking spices into a saucepan. Behind them lurks his partner Jay peeking out behind their dark curtain of hair, peering over Kay's shoulder with phone brandished in hand.
Jay: Baaaaaaabe... Have you ever heard of porphyria?
Kay: Mmm...They're one of your screamy bands?
Jay: Oh no, it's a disease.
Kay: Lovely...
As Jay checks their phone, Kay checks a recipe book
Jay: It causes pale skin, receding gums, sensitivity to sunlight...
Kay: Sounds nasty...
Jay: But, like, *vampires*! That's where a bunch of vampire lore comes from!
Kay, definitely paying attention, twists his recipe book upside down to make sense of it.
Kay: Huh, sure. Makes sense...
Jay: Right!? It's mostly a hereditary thing, but some types can be brought on by excess iron in the liver, and...
Kay, pouring spice into the saucepan having abandoned the recipe, replies without looking at Jay
Kay: I'm not giving you iron poisoning.
Jay Ugh!! You're no fun!!

Read @maigadoocy.bsky.social ‘Sorcery & Small Magics’ & I’m making it everyone’s problem I’d endlessly read these 2 quarrelling while bring utterly exceptional in their collaboration. If u like banter, shit stirring & the consequences of one’s own actions, read this book. #art #SorceryandSmallMagic

Characters from Maiga Doocy’s ‘Sorcery & Small Magics’
Leovander, though bias narrator and world of trouble that he is, described Sebastian Grimm as a man that lived up to his name, having all the bearing of a thundercloud, with pale grey hair, at 21 yrs old, to match. The golden light he looks into does little to warm the focus of his hard features, nor soften his posture, made all the more unyielding by the lines of his black coat. Perfect pleats and smooth plains leading down his back to a flat, wide indigo sash at his waist, embroidered with rain over rolling waves. Over it a belt supports a sword hanger, weighed down by a rapier. The black hanger itself is embossed with wheat before a flower, while the sword is gripped in the shadow of Grimm’s quietly poised stance.
Nothing about said stance invites anyone upon it, and yet, only goaded by walls of any kind, Leovander is on him. The contrast between the 2 young men is stark; Leo’s barely restrained mahogany hair falls around his face and gathers in the popped collar of his open green coat, itself scrunched at the waist under a hastily cinched red sash. A generous collection of silver ornamentation, calling sign of the scandalous musician, adorns his ears and every finger but for the third on both hands.
Whatever is so occupying Grimm, Leo is ready to weigh in, eager for the game. One arm is hooked over Grimm’s shoulder, falling down his back with an easy temper, while a violin bow in Leo’s fingers crosses down till the strings rest atop Grimm’s sword hand. Leo’s other arm then secures the man into closer confidence, linking over the second shoulder while his hand is raised into the feathered back of Grimm’s otherwise neatly combed hair, where it guards a whisper. Whatever Leo is divulging, the curl of his lip is already smug in the certainty that the problem before them is no match for his self assured cunning, and however uninviting Grimm’s demeanour is, he shows no inclination not to hear the troublemaker out.
