The DotL fan sever has been speaking using the language of the children of Tama, using memes as our metaphors and I can’t describe how happy it makes me to 1) finally understand the Star Trek episode on a functional level and 2) have a conversation that is silly for the sake of being silly.

It is getting harder to see it these days, but I always hold on to this quote from Samwise in LOTR: "There's some good in this world, Mr. Frodo, and it's worth fighting for."
An image of Samwise Gamgee - the real OG - from the LOTR movies. "I know. It's all wrong. By rights we shouldn't even be here. But we are. It's like in the great stories, Mr. Frodo. The ones that really mattered. Full of darkness and danger, they were. And sometimes you didn't want to know the end. Because how could the end be happy? How could the world go back to the way it was when so much bad had happened? But in the end, it's only a passing thing, this shadow. Even darkness must pass. A new day will come. And when the sun shines it will shine out the clearer. Those were the stories that stayed with you. That meant something, even if you were too small to understand why. But I think, Mr. Frodo, I do understand. I know now. Folk in those stories had lots of chances of turning back, only they didn't. They kept going. Because they were holding on to something." ~Samwise Gamgee

On a more positive note, many of the creators from Hiveworks came together to create the Chimera Comics Collective - a place where we could maintain the 'webring' aspect of Hiveworks and continue supporting each other.

Please follow us here! 🦁🐐🐍

It's been a long ten years and I finally get to talk publicly about what happened behind closed doors.

Please take the time to read this letter and please avoid working with these people. You are more valuable than an opportunity for people like them to use you as cash cow for your work. 🧵

edited the prologue, it's now 40 panels shorter. I feel kinda sad that the scene was removed- it's been around almost since the very first draft. But sometimes ya gotta kill your darlings.

Just finished the thumbnails for Morningstar’s prologue. Realized while I was working on it that I could probably get rid of half of it, and now I’m agonizing over whether establishing that one plot point is really necessary.

oh boy, anyone awake and up?

I am preparing to reopen commissions within the next month or two and it's been *checks notes* three years since I took on a commission, and was wondering where prices are sitting these days. Has it gotten any better?

Not sure if I'll finish this for my birthday, but I'm only five pages away from finishing this short comic. If you like witches, nonbinary creatures of magic, and comics, keep an eye out.

If you want to know what I've been up to/what's personally going on for me, also keep an eye out.
A preview of a comic, featuring a full-page splash image of a forest and a witch entering/wandering through as she gathers herbs. Exiting a forest are three men, one of which is shouting as he argues with his companions, "It would've eaten more if I hadn't shot it!" The image itself is set/colored in a duochromatic color gradient, from a pale almost white green to a middling green and to a dark blue/blueblack.

I’m really excited to share that I won the Frank R. Paul Award for Best Magazine Cover Art! My painting Stasis, a self-portrait about invisible illness, was featured on the cover of Uncanny Magazine Issue 58 🖤

#art #painting #portrait #illustration
“Stasis” is a portrait painted by the artist Zara Alfonso, and is the first piece in her series about invisible illness. A portrait painting of a girl with skin so pale she’s almost translucent, her lips are tinged blue and she gazes upward through seemingly unseeing eyes. Pale moths and winged insects cover the expanse of her face and body, blending into her skin in places.

My frustration with Sylvie's bad costume design has brought me to draw what I wanted to see in game. If you're gonna make a "child of the forest" character, make their high tier look a balanced reflection of their abilities and origin. #FellowshipGame
Digital art of Sylvie from the game Fellowship posed on a stump surrounded by vines and mushrooms. She is displayed almost like an action figure on a base, marked with the pattern of her Safe Haven ability. Sylvie is dressed in an alternate version of her high tier armor from the game, only changed to something more balanced and reflective of her origins and abilities. She is wearing cuffs/bracers/sleeves on her calves, forearms and biceps, with a corseted bodice in the same style (dark purple with black metal trim), while underneath we can see cyan leaves as a camisole and a flowing and transparent cyan skirt. Sylvie has her signature fox red mane of hair and bushy tail while sporting a flower bud as an earring. She has a tiara that matches the colors of her outfits and purple moss and cyan mushrooms hang from her antlers. Sylvie also has a viney shoulder armor piece that wraps around her arm, with thorns that match the metal on her dress. On her back is a large pair of butterfly wings in matching colors. Her four pink butterflies and Bluey (a large blue butterfly) surround and fly around her. Sylvie is posed in contra posto, her right leg lifted off the ground as if to leap from the stump, and one arm is half-raised, as if getting ready to cast a healing spell on an ally.
