OK here's my big ten post, forty page, catch up mega-thread with alt text for my work in progress #Comix #WebComics #MiniComics
One. A person with black hair in a black shirt and a cord necklace is driving late at night. Two. the driver from page one spots dirt Ike headlights in her rear view mirror then Gunnr the woods hag pulls up beside her points a gun and shouts "pull over". Three. The unnamed driver pulls over Gunnr the woods hag walks up to her car. Gunnr: Where is it? WHERE IS IT? This it? Huh? Driver: Yes. Gunnr: Now get out of the car. Four. Gunnr points a gun a the horrified driver and tells her "Get. Out. Of. The. Fucking. Car. Right. Now." Then the necklace Gunnr pulled off of the driver starts to glow and Gunnr's heart starts to beat loud and fast and she doubles over and pants and gasps for air as the other two hags look shocked while the driver fills with determination to live and speeds off into the dark.

None of the OC question accounts I follow asked anything that fits today and I said my next post would be art so heres some images of races/creatures that tend to appear in my comics. I'm reusing these pics a lot bc my energys going into my W.I.P
#WorldBuilding #CryptidArt #OCArt #OCs #CreatureArt
Collage of drawings and comic panels of the Hags. Women with tiger stripe tattoos, facial scars, and facial piercings wearing short togas with big chunky belts, dark colored trousers and doc martins. In one panel they're playing guitar dancing with bigfoots, in another they're offering up the remains of a panther to a stone age idol, in another theyrecall fist fighting. In more than one they're smoking these big cigar sized blunts full of whatever is in them. Collage of drawings and comic panels of the Ghouls a subculture of cannibals from my comics. A lot of them have seemingly perpetually contracted pupils in their eyes, Gabriel has a big tongue, they have iron caps on their teeth Cryptids. Collage of comic panels, drawings and paintings of bigfoots and chupacabras. The bigfoots keep bears as pets and carry big sharpened branches and even logs as weapons. Chewie the Chupacabra and his mate both wear lightweight hoodies seemingly regardless of the weather but nothing under them, so I don't think they get too hot. Maybe they have heavier ones for the winter. Collage of drawings, paintings and comic panels of animals. An owl, a deer, a snake, and some barking dogs.

Another trend I'm noticing: If the article, blog post, informative piece of internet text (eg about garden designs, or victorian architecture) has a lot of images with the exact same camera angle and perspective, then that's a pretty good sign it's AI

Humans hate that level of consistency

Some quick tips for spotting gAI slop:
- if the hands don't make sense
- they still have problems with faces, eye directions are often a good tell
- if the light source is one colour but the light is another (eg: the window has a blue sky, but everything inside is red

A comics convention I'm applying for announced they want LGBT creators and stuff like that always gives me the weirdest kind of imposter syndrome. Alvin is really doing a lot of heavy lifting bc I think the queerness in my stuff is otherwise kind of diffuse and hard to "point at"

I have two ideas that don't fit the setting I've built for my comics. One I think I could tweak to work. Maybe for the other I should do something where one or more of my OCs act as host in a framing device or its a story-within-a-story, IDK.

All of Alvin's storylines so far are him trying to stop some sort coming conflict or new weapon.
The Hags are, in theory, involved in asymmetric cold war against the rest of humanity, but mostly they just rob gas stations and party with cryptids.

A character from a vision or dream in my W.I.P changed clothing in a way that may or may not have involved physical transformation, like liquid assuming the shape of its container, they chose to go back to being someone dressed for the weather.
#<3OC #OCSky #OCQuestion #OC
Comic page. Doctor Wode continues to dream of the necklace changing hands in reverse to a Amazigh merchant, to a man in a toga and seashell crown, to a dark figure in shadow. A being with a mask like winged face and three or more visible wings hands a round jewel to a character wearing a simple mantilla and a tight full body covering resembling an anime girl or 90's Batman cartoon femme with two dark holes through which two white circle eyes can be seen. Inside a stone or mud brick thatch roof house the character turns to a man huddled between an older and younger woman and says "give back my coat" The man replies "fine" and tells the older woman "it's in the chest go get it". The character tells the younger woman "you there, help me" in the next panel the two white circle eyes and necklace are visible beneath the dark hood of a hand made coat, the tight covering now falls away in tatters and the character walks past a rosebush, along a beach, toward mountains, in the rain and snow. The older woman turns to the fourth wall and says "I guess you think that's pretty funny "doctor", but are you it's daughter...or ours?" as the Hag gang/cult's characteristic face tattoos appear on her face

Normies=IRL

The chupacabras are monomorphic, they don't notice

The bigfoots are dimorphic but also don't notice bc their sexes are otherwise indistinct like moles or spiny rats

If the Hags do sex testing its something really gonzo and arbitrary, but there's no Alien 3 trope going on

Yep, see below. Alt text included. #QueerPrompts
From Fried Squash Doctor Wode: This world was stolen from us Gunnr. I've seen them in visions, the high days, the times of the wizardess tyrants of the great cities before history and the oracles of the eldritch goddesses, all lost. But now la bestia ruvida slouches towards Yarnvither to be born! There are panels of a fairy tale witch on a throne with a crown over her pointy hat, a great crystal orb, and a birdclaw shaped scepter. A bald woman in hooded robe sweating as visions of inhuman mouths, eyes and tentacles swarm around her. A inhuman eye in the sky beams out waves of energy looking down on giant ants descending a great ziggurat towards prehistoric people chained at the wrists and necks, and a neoclassical sculpture of a winged Grecian or French sphinx with a crown and devilish barbed tail. From Fried Squash Gabriel: No it's true the guy who did my teeth taught me. Whites have more Neanderthal blood and Asians have more Denovisan blood and there was another species of humans and all stories of vampires and Morlocks, and dark elves go back to them. When enough of their blood builds up in a family line one of us will be born. Normies evolved to be scared of us hybrids. That's why people don't like things that look or sound human but not quite, it's called the uncanny valley. There are panels of a Neanderthal man, a Denosovan man, a stone age Nosferatu, and a circle of early men sitting around in a circle eating and eying each other with suspicion. Then there's a CPR dummy, a dummy head wig stand, and a wire frame computer model of a human face. Comic page from Unclean Beasts. Wizard: God said "Let us make man in our own image Shaman: speaking with his wife and sons Rabbi: speaking in the "royal we" to the angels and animals Apostle: speaking to the Son and Holy Spirit Wizard: whatever, so God created man in His own image, in His image created he him, male and female He created them Guru: Meaning that the conscious and subconscious mind of man mirrors the manifest and unmanifest polarity of the divine Wizard: Sure, why not? And God blessed the seventh day because that in it he rested from all his work. There's a panel of faces, stick figures and suns painted against a brushy background and a panel of a giant bald figure reclining asleep in front of a range of tall hills or mountains. From Unclean Beasts, continued Wizard: so God creates humanity and there's a day of rest then four verses into the second chapter the story starts over with "the Lord God" Atheist: because it's two stories by two different authors imperfectly edited together Wizard: Maybe but taking the story at fave value it looks like a dream. Then Adam wakes up in chapter four and snakes don't talk and his family worships "the Lord" and they are not the only people in the world. So Adam's dream turned into a nightmare because he brought his own fears and worries into it, as people do. Theres a panel of a classic Sistine Chapel Jehovah placing a little clay Adam into a playset like walled Garden of Eden, and another of Adam as a wholly caveman in a loincloth waking with a fright next to Eve under a full moon.
