Hi! I'm Simon, and here's a little overview thread of what kinda stuff you can expect from me:
A poster for the comic Weirdogs, by SimonWL, drawn in a colorful, cartoony furry art style. It displays a cozy scene of the main character Dodger, an anthro dog, playing a videogame, surrounded by the remaining cast of the comic. A fan-made tour poster for Will Sheff (Okkervil River)'s two performances in Austria in November 2023. The poster features prominent handmade typography, as well as a clean, graphic novel style illustration of Will Sheff and his dog Larry, in a simple orange and blue color palette. In the background, scenes from the locations of the two concerts - Graz and Vienna - can be seen. A photograph of a shrine dedicated to Mary. It features a very simplistic, almost cartoony and childlike painting of Mary in bright colors. Mary's head is however covered by a large wasp's nest, which makes her appear as if she was some kind of bizarre alien creature. A screenshot of the game "Trivia Throne" being played inside Tabletop Simulator. The screenshot depicts eight player sheets laid out on a table alongside an instruction manual, a list of trivia categories, and a stack of cards.

New awareness campaign
A digital poster in the style of a World War II propaganda piece. Isolaed on a yellow background, a normal, squarish, 20-something guy with glasses is sitting working on a laptop. A ghostly figure of Hitler has his arm around the guy and is grinning and shaking a fist triumphantly looking at the laptop screen. On the lid of the laptop where an apple might otherwise be is an openAI logo, bright green, and dripping green ooze down the lid. Text on the poster, in combinations of sans-serif type and brush script reads: Using Generative AI? You’re prompting with Hitler! GenAI is a Fascist Project! Try using your brain instead Don’t surrender your creativity to the tech billionaire’s control

A redrawn version of the pre-serialization “coffee break” single-panel strip featuring Summer Springs and Autumn Winter in conversation. They are sitting at a bar with coffee cups. Summer (left) looks annoyed while Autumn (right) is responding blankly. Summer: I don't hate my job, really. I guess I just... resent that so much of my energy goes towards working instead of stuff I really care about. Autumn: Now see this is an interesting perspective to me on account of I do hate mine

Uploaded both issues of A Gleaming (2018 & 2020) onto my itch for one time purchase. Still think fondly of these books and would love to one day finish this weird story.

If you become a patron for @avoidpod.bsky.social you can now get a really cool peek behind the curtain of how @sketchisnotreal.bsky.social and @grawlich.art made the song, and how I made the animation!

Listen to me. Listen. If you're making images that will only be displayed on screens, YOU HAVE TO LET GO. You can calibrate your screens perfectly, but then 25k people will see it on their shitty $50 monitors or cracked phone and its out of your hands. Don't think of it. Achieve enlightenment.
Tweet by @night margin "digital artist woes" image of the same color gradient on various screen (monitor 1 appears very grey purple, phone appear VERY pink, monitor 2 appears a more saturated purple, laptop appears brownish red, family's phone appears much darker and bluer etc.)

How can you NOT check out this TTRPG podcast when THIS is what they're willing to produce to announce their return?

These guys seriously put in WELL over 110% into all aspects of their show, and it shows.

Cat Dinner 🐟🐈

A group of anthropomorphic cats sitting at a round table, all eating different kinds of seafood. One cat then drops a massive, red fish onto the table, and everyone else is shocked and or amazed.

the only comic discourse I care about
A comic titled "How to Draw Comics," in which a serene looking being is stood before a table, on which is a single sheet of paper and a pencil. The being is staring at us. They then peek down at the sheet of paper, and the POV switches to that of the being, so we can see what is on the page. A single word is written there: "Don't" The POV switches back, but is closer on the being's strangely serene face as they continues staring at the page. They then stare directly at us, the serene face implying the opposite.

With ethical entertainment options dwindling, here's one of my picks: A Void in Reality. Technically a FATE Core AP podcast, but it's Youtube version sometimes has accompanying visuals, so it's great for playing your Switch and looking up every once in a while!
A screenshot of A Void in Reality with some art of an NPC (a finely suited man giving finger guns and a winning smile), along with the name of its first and current arc, Agatha, the episode name, Lucius, and player character portraits along the bottom

Tragic tale about a guy who falls in love with eggs. Over a few years he collects thousands of eggs of many kinds and lays them out around his house. One day there is an earth quake, all of the eggs crack and release a vile goo. The man is never seen again.

Look I'm just gonna say it, I'm proud of this icon I designed for Wax Heads, look at how cute that little guy is!!!
app icon illustrated for Wax Heads depicting a little record sleeve with a record popping out but there are eyes where the hole of the sleeve would be and as the middle of the record, resembling a face and then having a little smile. It has an orange background and single blue hue as the record sleeve.

I weirdly can't think of any video games genuinely *scaring* me as a kid.

I do remember thinking the imagery in Captain Bible and the Dome of Darkness was creepy though, that might be the earliest example of that in video games that I can think of.
