Writing is hard. Luckily Sandy has a Muse to inspire her! Even if sometimes the "inspiration" is being inspired to buy a sixteenth notebook...

Writer and Muse is a comic I work on with @rabbitthewriter.bsky.social - you can find the entire backlog at writerandmuse.com

Because what's a better way to Brainstorm than with a storm storm?

Lisa Copper and Franklin Fuzz - Art Commission for Emma Vogt

I did another commission for my long-term Neopets friend, of her OCs from her own comic series, Crime Show, which she has also published in print! Check out her artwork and writing as well in her personal website, at emmavogt.com !
A ginger woman and an olive-skinned man in formal wear, the woman with a dark-navy blue pantsuit, a cream blouse and grey pumps, and the man is in a medium grey suit and pants with a white dress shirt and a dark-navy tie, and brown leather dress shoes. The two are holding police badges with their details, and looking at each other. The background is crowded with newspaper clippings.

Book Recommendation:
The Pale Queen by Ethan M. Aldridge - Middle Grade Graphic Novel

Absolutely love this one from @ethanmaldridge.bsky.social - amazing the way he weaves stories and traditional art, it's really something to aspire to, #booksky.

🧵(1/3)
Cover of "The Pale Queen" by Ethan M. Aldridge and a hand-written review accented by an unusual rock. A page from "The Pale Queen" by Ethan M. Aldridge featuring Agatha and the sharply-dressed Lady of the Woods. Lady of the Woods: Of course, innocent intentions do not mean my house is any less ruined, does it, Agatha? But I'm sure you'll make it up to me, won't you? Agatha: I'm sorry, do we know each other? Lady of the Woods: Would you like to? Agatha: What- Handwritten review of The Pale Queen by Ethan M. Aldridge. "Agatha wants more from life than being a tutor in her country village, so meeting the Lady of the Woods seems like her chance. But as she enters a world of fae and favors, Agatha finds that wishes always come with a cost. This book moves quickly, yet subtly descends into the Darker side of magic. The perfect amount of creepy!" Cover of "The Pale Queen" by Ethan M. Aldridge

Love Seasons of Magic by @dungeonofthedragon.bsky.social! This cozy roleplaying game has you playing witches in a world filled with spirits, magic, and situations that tests problem-solving beyond your ability to fight.

I made a scholar witch for it! I can't wait to play.

Mini Book Recommendation:
Other Ever Afters: New Queer Fairy Tales by Melanie Gillman - YA Graphic Novel

I want to get better at recommending books I enjoy, and what better one to start off #pridemonth than with Other Ever Afters by @mgillman.bsky.social, #booksky?

🧵(1/3)

(with images this time!)
Cover of "Other Ever Afters" by Melanie Gillman and a hand-written review accented by a small potted succulent plant. Handwritten review of "Other Ever Afters" by Melanie Gillman. "Soft, lushly illustrated comics tell a series of original fairy tales perfect for those who are excluded from the traditional fairy tale canon. Not twisted tales, but entirely new ones made from the start with queer and feminist sensibilities. Each story will leave you wanting more!" A page from "Other Ever Afters" by Melanie Gillman. "Days passed, and magic flowers grew all over the forest. On patrols, I looked for claw marks in the soil. But saw no signs of a beast."

Happy #WebcomicDay! Been working on a magical girl webcomic called Niji Chikara for the past two years, full of laughs and schedule conflicts.

✨ Read it here: www.ag-entertainment.net/media/niji/p...
Red Fire, posing dramatically in front of a rainbow background, shouts, "That's right! By the power of the Niji Chikara, we will put an end to your evil deeds!" Blue Water says, "Ooh, dramatic!" A confused Red Fire replies, "...Why the heck did I just say that?"

Panel 2 Sandy struggles with lifting weights while hula-hooping. Someone off-panel: Work it! Panel 3 Sandy sits on a bench, exhausted and in a bad mood. Muse: Uh, at least there's still writing?

This week's Floating Islanders was TMGE'd for both 1025 & 1026, and has been shelved.

I collabed with the great Kuroneko_Kitty: www.tumblr.com/gruslen and Keng200 www.neopets.com/ntimes/index... to bring this idea to life and pay homage to the Team Squad Force NT comics!

#comic #neopets #neoskies
3 Newspaper headline clippings fill the reader in on Team Squad Force: Paper 1: Neopian Times Issue: 400. New Heroes Emerge! The New Heroes "Team Squad Force" save Neopia Central from Tri-Villain Peril! This week, a new team of heroes operating separately from The Defenders of Neopia have emerged on the hero scene to thwart the plans of three separate villains. When asked if this vigilante action is condoned by the Defenders, Judge Hog declined comment. Paper 2: Neopian Times Issue: 500. Fashionistor Finished! Team Squad Force Saves the day again with new member in tow! After a harrowing crime spree in Neopia Central, the tyrannical tonu was finally brought to justice by Team Squad Force. An eyewitness stated "Wait, weren't those the guys that tried to steal the Altador Cup last year?" Paper 3: Neopian Times Issue: 1025. Team Squad Force comes clean on Disbandment. Team Leader, Lieutenant Awesome, confirms why "Team Squad Force" gave up on crime fighting in exclusive interview! "We'll be paying off the debt for burning down Neopia Central in Issue 550 for the rest of our lives" he stated. "We chose to quit before we accrued any more expenses". Panel 1: Shiishika, Ralvy the Draik from Kuroneko_Kitty's "Draiks are Bad at Math" and Lar from Keng200's "Live Improvised" are shown reading the most recent issue of the Neopian times. A Kiosk on wheels selling the newspaper is in the background. A shadowy figure lurks on top of the car. Shiishika: "Oh Wow! Team Squad Force! I remember these guys!" Ralvy: "Neopia could really use them right now..." Panel 2: Lar: "Pfffft! They look like wimps! I bet I could do that! Ralvy: "Me too I guess. It's not much different than being a guard..." Shiishika: "I suppose I also could with the right gadgets..." Panel 3: A thief is shown running nearby with a bag full of Neoponts. The Gnorbu running the Kiosk is shouting "Stop! Thief" Panel 4: Shiishika, Ralvy, and Lar all look towards the thief as three large exclamation points accentuate their notice of the situation. The lighting is sharp and comic booky, and their poses suggest that they will take action against the thief. Panel 5: Shiishika, Ralvy and Lar are shown back at normal lighting. They have not changed positions. Shiishika!: Goodness! I hope someone catches that thief!" Lar: Ms. Ralvy, you're a castle guard, shouldn't YOU stop her?" Ralvy: "I left my spear at home..." Panel 8: Silhouetted forms of the 3 are overlaid on a comic backdrop. A dialogue bubble above them states "A new hero team was NOT formed that day." There is an afterword after the final panel, it reads: Happy NT 1025! A collaboration between Yankeesrule22222256, Keng200, and Kuroneko_Kitty. An homage to the "Team Squad Force" Comics by Lachataube, Ghostkomorichu, Fish_Puddle & Pacmanite. Ft. a cameo of June_Scarlet's "Storm"

I got the sweetest reply from @whatsupbeanie.bsky.social when I sent an email to claim a sticker + bookplate for preordering her latest book. And I'm like, "Did I just get a fanmail? For my fanmail??"

A #gentlecomicshabit comic that spiraled of control and past the 18 minutes I allotted.
Comic Panel 1: Reading on her phone, Emma says "Cute sticker if I send an email to the creator of "What's Up Beanie? I feel shy, but I've been meaning to buy more of her books anyway." Panel 2: Emma types at her laptop "Okay, keep it simple..." as she sends it. Panel 3: Her phone notification goes off with a "boop!" as she says, "Oh, a reply!" Panel 4 Emma excitedly says, "Did Allina Tysoe just send me a fanmail for my fanmail?? Such a sweet reply!"

I remember the first time I gave my #petrats peanut butter - my normally very tidy rat grabbed the whole thing only to belatedly realize that peanut butter is very messy. She gave herself a very long bath after that!

#gentlecomicshabit 17 minutes - colored with my Copic markers this time!
Sketch comic - someone offers a pretty rat peanut butter on a spoon, saying "Peanut Butter!" to which the tasty replies "What's that?" The rat grabs the entire lump of peanut butter in one go, saying "Mine!" only to realize "Peanut butter is sticky?!" as they attempt to pull away a paw.

#MagexWitch 10 - Shapely Introduction

Mage x Witch has hit its 10th installment, and I couldn't ask for a better time for the logo I commissioned for the series to be completed than now. A great way to celebrate this milestone!

The logo was created by @maxigamer.bsky.social!

#art #comic #webcomic
Panel 1: Vivian comes up behind Galem and puts her hands on his shoulders. She asks him: "Hey Galem! What's a Witch's favorite shape?" Galem replies: "I Dunno. Pentagram?" Panel 2: Vivian is drawn in a cutesy chibi style as she proclaims "No! A HEX-agon!" Panel 3: Galem smiles and replies "Ah I see, because it has "Hex" in the name!" Panel 4: Vivian: "No! Because our new logo fits in one!" Vivian is holding the new Mage x Witch logo in her hands. A dotted outline of a Hexagon is traced around it. Galem shouts "WOAH!" as he's visibly enchanted with the new logo. Panel 5: Well, it's not really a panel, it's a title page illustration for Mage x Witch where the new new logo is shown prominently. Galem and Vivian are holding each other and blushing, Gloop is between them looking out towards the viewer. Panel 6: Vivian is shown on her own in concerned thought. She states: "Dang, pentagram was a better answer..."
