Old comic from 2020 appears on Bluesky!
*stadium crowd cheering noise*
The awkward-winning Demon Bot Comic is here, with small adjustments and complete new art.
*crowd spontaneously breakdance*
And it's all free!
*It's for the exposure. That's what I'm apparently eating tonight*

In all the mess of this world, one thing I’m still glad for is too see those Love Death & Robots shorts (eeing season 4 for first time atm). It’s like a perpetuation of Heavy Metal or Robot Carnival. I wonder if there’s other such creative adult animation omnibuses out there of this caliber.

Missed the non-local dark birds with thick fur on the branches (guess they saw me approach in my kitchen through window) but this lil’ one was on it’s mast as consolation. Seen this a few times over the years here.

Months now and Wacom Cintiq, while expensive, still works great. Had issues with screen losing video signal if I turn it off on again, until I reboot PC, but since I leave it on all the time and it goes to sleep with pc and wakes fine, it’s barely an issue.
I think I have PTSD from using Huion.

Eventually..see that CECOT segment that was cancelled on TV but soread online? Eventually they’ll use AI to edit such videos, change narrative, and massively distribute (remember big tech are aligned with the coup) claiming to be “that” video in order to have ppl see it and dismiss the whole thing.

Did a bunch of doodles and sketches at a café close by (large cappuccino). Saw @zazb.bsky.social tiny character design pages here and it made me notice I don’t do design-focused stuff in a while so I drew a few, although a little more focused. Other pages were just practice scribbles.

I should open up less. I sometimes share thoughts on my creative development. I've been stuck at an invisible crossroads all year. Thanks for trying to help guys; I'm not looking for basic art and design tips. Just struggling to find a visual approach to tether to again with self-satisfaction.

I saw a post about pen drawings, but lost it.
Here are some of my old ink stuff that I did in the month of ink drawings, usually sketch one day, ink the next.
These ones were all alphabetical mount themed.

The Ocelot Knight -
Because wizards are notoriously bad at returning borrowed magical books (with awful excuses), the library had to train knights specifically to deal with the late fees of book hoarding wizards.

Thinking I’m sick of art atm (just low energy atm) and then I watch Inkpulp Podcast (#270) that has Rob Liefeld (taking a break halfway through now: the guy is intense but clearly passionate!) and yeah. Seeing comic artists share about comics and I’m all of a sudden reaching for my sketchbook XD

What’s with the rise of bsky users sending welcoming posts aimed at newcomers all of a sudden? Is there a new massive wave again, or just the usual jumping on a trend?

Hmmm. Pists and images on Bluesky don’t show up on image searches on google. Getting more and more invisible…

I think that sometimes I prefer looking through available movies and check some info or trailer for those that do pique my interest than watching one.
So I just go Netflix but instead of watching stuff on it I’m going Tubi adding a whole bunch of films from around the world from different decades.

Café doodles.
Cappuccino was served in what must’ve been a teacup but costs near $6
Then a fake Canadiano (Americano) for almost $5.
I want to point how FRUSTRATING Bluesky’s cropping tool is when trying to widen the frame when we’re “zoomed in” the image.

Maybe my creativity is a form of rebellion against the boredom of a situation. In manual labor jobs I took any opportunity to do something slightly visually creative where I could. When my job was doing art.... it became drawing anything that wasn't part of the job/tasks at hand when I could.
