Another one-off comic page, just a nice calm moment to moment showing the fractured glimpses of animals and plants you might see in the forest through the trees. I'm about to be out of town for the next three weeks, and I'm getting the pre-travel jitters so I'm Cleaning :'D

A comic page with a mostly cream and muted red palette. The background is a single image with birch trees with no leaves and bushes based on a photograph. There are 6 small panel vignettes on top sprinkled across the page, they are not in a grid. The panels are a close up of part of the back of a crow. A close up of a fox walking on a log, but cropped to the middle of the fox. Another panel is an extreme close up of some dark feathers. The next panel is just the texture of tree bark. The next is a close up of a fox's snout, but cropped close, the nose is visible, but the lower jaw isn't fully visible. The last panel is the tips of some bare trees (presumably in winter). It has a very meditative feel, showing the fractured glimpses of animals and plants you might see in the forest through the trees.

Started doing my version of "Wally Wood's however many Panels that Always Work" for drawtober or whatever a while back. Still kinda fun! I want to do more of these, cause I like LISTS :D Also great time to intro my new OCs: Back Of Head and And Part Of Head. They're twins.

a square comic panel of black and white digital drawings. On the left in the foreground is the back of someone's head, with a speech bubble that says "back of head". On the right is a person facing the audience in a 3/4 view, with a neutral expression and a speech bubble that says "and part of head"

Really big tree in front of our house is getting cut down right now T_T AND I'M SO SAD Had to be done. It was starting to rot from the center. Increasingly large branches fell off. It looks fine at a glance, but the last limb that fell was as big around as me. Scary! I'll miss it tho! :[

GAME JAM! (Not GMTK jam, a different other game jam) The theme is 🔥slow burn🔥 so we're going with a hot air balloon thing. "Launch Air Mortuary" is, of course, a reference to 🎈🪑lawn chair Larry🪑🎈 Never be afraid to live your dreams, even if it involves entering controlled airspace!🫡

A sketch of a game menu screen, currently just greyscale. Text on the left side says "Launch air mortuary" and under that is an oval that says "press any button." The right side has a skeleton in a lawn chair being suspended by strings going off screen.

Page one of a horror comic! The prompt was "i have hands for feet." I went pretty literal with it tbh so warning for body horror! It only gets worse from here ;D 🫱🦶

A greyscale comic page. There are 5 panels. The top panel is horizontal and about one third vertically. There's a downshot of a figure in a bed in a rustic looking room. Narration box says "Three days past, I woke to a disturbing discovery..." The next row has two panels. The first panel is square and is a closeup of the bottom of a bed, with a foot coming down (as though someone were sitting at the edge of the bed), and a hand also coming down. The next panel is square, and is top down, revealing the top of a head, two arms, and then two legs, but one of the legs has a foot at the end, and the other leg has a hand at the end. Third row. Left panel is square, shows a foot going into a boot. Right panel is square. Shows a hand going into another boot. Narration text says "I knew what I had to do."

"Hey uuuh... why do the ghosts all call you a thief?" "Oh, don't worry about that..."🤫 This was a one off comic page I did without thinking up any further details of the premise! Maybe someday I'll decide what even the heck is going on here!

A comic page in black and white by Sawhand. The first panel is a wide shot. Two characters are walking through a field of what look like sticks, or maybe dead saplings (they only come up to about chest height) and each has a ceramic pot tied to the top and hanging down. There are small ghostly wisps floating around saying "thief". The first character with black hair is striding forwards and looks confident. The second character is jogging to catch up to the first and is looking at the ghosts nervously. The second panel is a detail of ghosts twining around the legs of character 1 saying "thief" Third panel is the nervous character, still jogging to keep up, character 1's leg is in the foreground with more ghost wisps. Nervous character says "Why do they call you that?" Last panel is confident character in the foreground with a blase look, saying "oh, they call everyone that. Just ignore them." and is dispersing a wisp by waving a hand through it, as though clearing away smoke. Nervous character is looking on in the background. There is no further context.

What can I get these days that's basically an iPod?? I'm talking just a digital walkman. No apps. No Wi-Fi. Doesn't even need Bluetooth. Just plays music files I give it on headphones. Genuinely looking for a rec! 😭

Their goal is to create so much chaos and so many crises that it starts to feel like nothing you do makes a difference. Don’t believe it. Every action matters. Keep showing up and remember the resistance will prevail!
