Also I'm caught up on commissions (got 2 more to post but they haven't been picked up yet so I'm holding off), so I'm drawing Thancred for myself.

Good morning @halconscificon.bsky.social! It's day 3 and I am cleaned out of graphic novels, but if anyone has missed out on grabbing them, I've added a code for free shipping within Canada to my Virtual Artist Alley store! varethane.bigcartel.com HALCON2025

I first saw this comic years ago and it has been seared into my brain ever since
I will be thinking about this on my deathbed
(creator was anime_4000 on Instagram, but that account's gone now.)

Pilot is one of my go-to pen brands, specifically because their uni-ball vision line (yes, the regular old office supply pen) is waterproof and markerproof and makes a nice satisfying line even on textured paper.
Pilot had a massive ad spread in a jp newspaper with "make AI jealous" and "write what AI can't touch" written on it
Anyway I think everyone should own a Pilot kakuno pen

Shipping to the US is still in an Unfortunate state right now, so some notes:
▪️ Stickers and zines are unaffected, as they ship via letter mail. (Downside is no tracking, alas)
▪️ The graphic novels are pretty pricy to send to the US right now, despite all my efforts to find a better rate.

Got to watch Del Toro's Frankenstein last night and I loved it, I've never seen an adaptation that stayed so true to the book's events and made its themes felt so effectively! Great characterization and imagery.

Our spooky season thread continues with a page from the webcomic Chirault, courtesy of @varethane.bsky.social!
Bones of all sorts... both moving and not. We love Chirault's traditional style, and it works so well for a landscape like this.
