I'm feeling down but I saw this pic of Sigourney Weaver and it made me feel 2% better.
Sigourney Weaver in a black and white photo where she's wearing a 3 piece pinstripe suit with short slicked back hair. She looks like if she too her hands out of her pockets she'd be holding a straight razor and that razor would be the last thing you ever saw.

Random panel from 10 years ago. Hoo-boy. 10 years...

Finally picked up a copy and let me tell you, it's very clear the folks who made this really *really* love the Culture books (complimentary).

A close second.
The introduction comic or the Sithrak cultists.

This one is, hands down, my favorite joke in all of Oglaf. It is exactly my level of absurdity.
"Sire, I will build a LABRYNTH to house the regards!"

One of the few sfw comics in Oglaf, but still great:
The one Olgaf comic where a raven wakes up from a nap, freaks out that they're late and unprepared, rushes to court only to realize they aren't a lawyer.

Best Cat Blueberry, snuggling under my arm and looking up at me sweetly.

I found a place on Ali Express to source the little 1/12 scale barrels I was finding at Daiso haphazardly. As a fringe benefit, they had a new variety I had not seen before, classic video game explosive red barrel. The perfect addition for my shelf dios.
An assortment of 1/12 scale figures with 1/12 scaled industrial barrels.

I have both good and bad news... #art
An old pen, in, and copic marker drawing of what appears to be a sexy frog woman with a laser gun. "She" is shown in black and white from behind and wears a black, scifi like one piece swimsuit with holes cut out of it. She wears matching thigh high leggings.

Ye gods there's more:
A black and white image of young Tilda Swinton in a baroque black outfit with tons of extravagant lightly colored detail. She stands against a sky background in a sort of regal headmistress pose. She's lit mainly from her left side and it gives some dramatic shadows on her face. It's a real potent image. A black and white image of young Tilda Swinton in a baroque black outfit with tons of extravagant lightly colored detail. She sits facing the camera against a sky background in a sort of "what news have you brought from the Duke?" pose. She's lit mainly from her left side and it gives some dramatic shadows on her face. It's got real "first born daughter of the now dead duke who will have to use all her guile to survive in a world of men" vibe.

L-and I cannot stress this enough-O-L at this Fox News headline. "Socialist shockwave". Amazing rhetorical scare tactics. Classic Red Peril shit. Even includes "flank" to really sell you on the war analogy.

Happy Halloween! Quote with your creepy art 🎃
A werewolf. A drawn image of a "hand-turkey" that is, a thing in the shape of a turkey using only parts of the human hand. A giant thumb for the head, a palm and fingers for the wing, many many fingers for the tailfeathers. Gobble-gobble. An undead unicorn An image of what appears to be Robert Goulet in a Catholic priest's clothes, with glowing red eyes and heavily clawed fingers. He holds his hands up in front of his body like he's drunk with power, and in front of him two animated skeletons advance into the foreground spookily.

artists, what's your favorite part to draw? quote this post!

THE CLAMPS! (hands) #art
An image of some sort of barbarian character. You can only see from just above his knees to just below his shoulders, his face is out of view. The focus of the image is his wrapped hands covered in blood and behind them a large ornate leather belt emblazoned with a mammoth head decoration.

Struzan's Thing poster is such a strong image they made a whole new monster to homage it in D&D: the Coldlight Walkers.

Calling out the Thing poster in particular. One of the most stark, best movie posters ever. And it was an overnight assignment where he basically had no direction. It's not even really a scene from the film, it's just pure evocation. A copy sits over my bed at home.

Pouring one out for the late great Drew Struzan, the man who painted half the movie posters you remember, and who people are imitating on half the ones you don't.

Nobody ever deserve to live through a horror movie more.
The Sheriff in Misery. He's looking into camera and smiling. He has that "I'm way too sweet and intelligent to ever die, but even I cannot predict the future nor the cold, cruel whims of fate" look.

#oc-tober 06: A recent D&D character, my wizard "Itch". He's still pretty new as the campaign just started. Itch woke up one day in the middle of a magic academy surrounded by tomes and spell-books with no memory of his past. What's worse, nobody else remembers him either. #art
An illustration of Itch. He's sitting cross-legged reading a book and leaning against a backpack clearly stuffed with junk. A wizard's staff rests against his shoulder. His torso appears to be covered in bandages and over those bandages are minimalist wizard robes. His face is likewise bandaged so only his eyes can really be seen.

#oc-tober 03-5: A catchup piece, these three, Casper, To-Fu, and Hard Deck, are the pilots from a couple of short stories I did called "Sun-Dogs" which was a shameless sci-fi version of Top-Gun. #art
An illustration of Casper, To-Fu, and Hard Deck. They are three female space fighter pilots in tan and dark grey flightsuits. Casper, a redhead, is holding the bridge of her nose as though she's annoyed at the world. To-Fu is running with her arms stretched out like she's a 5yr old pretending to be a plane, and Deck is playing with a toy plane while wearing her flight helmet.

If you see this, post a sword 🗡️

#art
A semi-realistic illustration of Spiral, a longsword in a style vaguely reminiscent of the weapons in Lord of the Rings films. The "blade" of the sword is a very long tapering unicorn horn.

#oc-tober 02: Finweigh Fedderman, The Ever Deadly. Finweigh was was a secoandry antagonist in my Solomon Azua comic, and his whole gimmick was that he was a walking Swiss Army knife. Every time you fought him he'd pop out some new weapon from some part of his body. #art
An illustration of Finweigh Fedderman. Finweigh is a cyborg/robot guy wearing clothing reminiscent of WW2 military dress uniform. A green overjacket tan pants, leather boots and a yellow undershirt with a Mandarin collar. His robot face is asymmetrical and skull-like, with a breathing tube on one side of his mouth and what looks like a gas mask air filtrator on the other. His eyes are mismatched cyborg eyes and he wears a red beret. His costume has various rank/campaign/unit insignia on it.

We'll see how far I get. Just getting back into an #art groove.

#oc-tober 01: Solomon Azua. The 5-under-5. Famous (much to his chagrin) for being the luckiest adventurer in known space. Solomon was the main character of my book released for Indie Comic Book Week back in 2009
A comic style illustration of Solomon Azua.
