"if you see this post a skeleton" 💀!
#indiecomics #comicart
a very simple digitally drawn comic page! i drew a skull with eyeballs, with text above and below reading "LAID IN BED, ON MY BACK LOOKING UP AT THE CEILING AND SEEING SPACE FLYING AWAY FROM ME, THE ENTIRETY OF THE WORLD, EVERYTHING I HAD EVER SEEN AND WOULD SEE, THE SHORTNESS OF A HUNDRED YEARS AND THE WAY YOU CAN'T PAUSE OR REVERSE TIME, THE ENTIRE UNIVERSE AND TRAVELLING PAST THAT, THE FUTURE WORMS THAT AREN'T BORN YET AND WILL EAT MY CORPSE ONE DAY; IT ALL STRETCHED OUT BEFORE ME: UNFATHOMABLE, INESCAPABLE DEATH." section from a different comic page from the same collection: skeleton-me being confused (thinking "?"), above a drawing of me pointing at an anatomically correct heart and saying "Just take it out." "Give me a robot body".

Weather has decided it’s time for my annual reminder to you that around 12% of SAD (Seasonal Affective Disorder) sufferers have Summer Depression variant. For us, sunshine makes life much harder. Please be patient and supportive. And hearing it described as “good weather” all the time doesn’t help!
Sunshine and heat make me feel defensive, misanthropic, angry, anxious, resentful and impatient. I don’t want to see anyone, go anywhere or do anything. Even bright, low winter light depresses me. I feel under siege These things might help: Drink plenty of water, Find ways to keep cool, Visit indoor places, Plan ahead for summer

A gentle reminder: there’s one simple thing everyone here can do to make this space friendlier and more inclusive for those with limited vision. Put an image description to the pictures you post!

See that +ALT button? Click and write a few words to explain what it’s about. 💕 #accessibility
A panel of Foxes In Love comics @foxes_in_love featuring two foxes, one blue and one green, in simple yet expressive drawing. In this one, the foxes are sitting together looking at the computer screen. Blue fox reminds Green gently “You forgot to add the alt text.” And Green replies, “Oh.” The Foxes in Love comics are always posted to Bluesky and other platforms with alt text, making it one of the most beloved inclusive content on social media.

digital illustration: cherry blossom trees float all over the image, the branches and trunk of the cherry blossom tree are visible at the top and on the right. on a swinging outdoor wooden bench dan and phil (youtubers) rest. phil, a white man with almost-white hair, lays on his back. he's holding hands with dan and looking at the phone dan is holding in his other hand. dan, a white man with brown curly hair is sitting on the bench. phil's head rests on dan's shrek t-shirt (phil is wearing a full kodak merchandise outfit, a grey tshirt with 'kodak' written in red and yellow sleeves, blue jogging trousers with the start of 'kodak' visible on the side). they're both smiling at dan's phone! a pigeon stands on the bench arm nearest to dan. a little orange kitten sleeps on phil's chest. a big happy corgi(-ish) dog is sat on the grass in front of phil. in the foreground of the picture we can see what they're looking at on the phone - a selfie that looks like it was taken a few minutes ago! the photo has been 'liked'. we can see the smile on dan's face and phil's face next to the shrek on dan's t-shirt. the selfie's drawn in a more cartoonish style! the main image is still cartoony, but a lot more detailed and more realistic in its proportions. the image overall is soft and glowing with butter yellows, cherry blossom pinks, warm pink-toned browns, turquoise, and various shades of green! the silver chains holding the bench up are shining in the sun, looking silver and gold in various places. if you zoom in the viewer can see little happy tears welling in dan's eyes (or maybe it's hayfever hahah)!

a messy digitally drawn (as in apple pencil on procreate, NOT ai) page of spidermen, batman, ironman, a goofy jellyfish guy, and (more detailed) tom holland as danny in 'the crowded room' . it's like a doodle-y, comic-y, semi realistic-y style. all in colour! just the crowded room part of the previous image
