MELFIST - Reposting helps a lil'guy grow @lordmelfist.bsky.social · 16d
So, back in 2018, I did a comic to retell a horror one-shot rpg session I hosted the year before. Page after page, I put more effort in it and decided to make it a project for a college exam. It was one of my first semi-professional comics.
Cover art for my comic "The Drought". A pastoral staff, a greatsword, a horseshoe tied to a rope and a branch, and a musket all stand in the foreground, in front of a barren tree in an arid field. In the background, a few houses can be seen. A picture of five rhombuses arranged in a cross, drawn in the dirt. The page says "Chapter One - Gathering". Two strangers travel into a ghost town riding horses. One goes inside a saloon, dropping a few gold coins on the counter, asking for water. The man comes outside, telling the other, a swordsman with a large hat, that there's no water. The two discuss the shortage of water brought by the drought. The swordsman mentions the local priest of Chton, a man he'd trust "with his own life". As they approach the temple, they see a drunkard lying on the ground, half-wasted: an old penitent farmhand that sometimes helps the priest.

I keep wanting to return to the Holiday Hadrosaur theme, perhaps with a different hadrosaur each time, but I'm worn down just thinking of the time and work required, because that's where I am these days. 🥲

This is still Parasaurolophus because that crest feels so redolent of festive fanfare to me.
Brown pencil sketch of a Parasaurolophus in side view, carrying pannier baskets filled with goods, facing and walking towards the left. It bows its head with its beak almost touching the raised hand of a hooded, cloaked figure, who walks alongside it, carrying a staff and leading the way.

one of my favorite sketchbook comics, anime press conference
PANEL 1: A close-up drawing of Goku from Dragon Ball. PANEL 2: A mayor is reading prepared remarks from a lectern to the press. MAYOR: "Goku is the Mickey Mouse of fighting" PANEL 3: MAYOR: "Luffy is Goku but with long arms and--" REPORTER 1: "BOO!" MAYOR: "Let me finish--long arms and flip-flops." PANEL 4: REPORTER 2: "Mr. Mayor, are you speaking in terms of official policy recommendations or as a private citizen?" The mayor dabs away sweat. MAYOR: "Please, Tom, there'll be time for questions at the end." PANEL 5: REPORTER 3: "These are serious allegations--" MAYOR: "Every Gundam is worse than Voltron--" REPORTER 4: "Man, fuck this!" PANEL 6: MAYOR (visibly sweating): "Please, I have to get through this: Every Gundam is worse than Volton because his hands are lion mouths." REPORTER 1: "BOOOOOOOOO" PANEL 7: Security hoists up a reporter to eject him. SECURITY 1: "You're done, Fake News" REPORTER 1: "This is a democracy!" PANEL 8: The mayor continues. MAYOR: "Pokemon was a dry run for QAnon." REPORTER 1: "The people have a right to a free press!" PANEL 9: MAYOR: "Naruto is the Donald Duck of fighting." PANEL 10: Another reporter stands up and interrupts the mayor. REPORTER 5: "How many more--" MAYOR: "Boruto--" REPORTER 5: "How many more of these--" MAYOR (insistent): "BORUTO is Naruto with worser hair." PANEL 11: REPORTER 6: "How many more of these unfounded allegations are you going to--" MAYOR: "Questions at the end, Laura!" PANEL 12: MAYOR: "Evangelion is suicidal ideation Tenchi Muyo."

Hearth-7's hacker/hunter #mech, the Diamondback, is done! A repurposed police-variant loader frame jammed with tracking and e-warfare systems, especially useful against camouflaged or hidden enemies.
The most detailed and spacially difficult one yet!

#LANCER #lancerRPG #mecha
A slim mecha, with digitigrade dog-like legs, and one arm missing, replaced with an array of antennae, dishes and multi-lensed cameras. The one hand holds a crossbow pointed downwards with twin sets of arms, making it X-shaped, holding a twin-headed arrow with sparks arcing between the two heads. There is a quiver of arrows with different heads on its back, one resembling an RPG warhead. It is in a police livery half painted over, and covered in graffiti slogans and graphics, and dirt. The head is flat and snake-like with a thin wrap-around visor, antenna on one "ear" and a V-shaped fin on the other. It has some small extra scope optics attached with a strap, resembling an eyepatch. It wears a chequered tasselled cloth around its neck, with a pin featuring a spread-eagle bird attached. On the upper arm holding the crossbow is a piece of retrofitted armour, a grid of metal like modern tank cage armour. Below the quiver is a mechanical loading arm for the arrows. There is a glowing orange window in the centre of the chest partially covered by the neck cloth, presumably looking at the reactor. The chest and hip area have a number of angled stand-off metal bars, and the hips have a little light on top of each, one red and one blue. There is a yellow taser-like weapon holstered on the inner thigh. The slim legs end in 3 little claws. On the main large round piece of the sensor array, is a smiley face and graffiti saying "Smile! You're on camera". On the back-mounted quiver is a kingfisher icon, on one thigh is scrawled ACAB and on the other "No Pasaran!!" On the side of the crossbow is "deny, defend, depose" and a crown with a red line through it (no points for subtlety). Behind the mech is the word Diamondback in outlined graffiti font, partially obscured. At the bottom is text reading: HRF Diamondback - Track and Trace Hunter. Adaptive Intrusion Suite, Volt Pistol, Trojan Override. Art: Jonathan Caridia. Lancer: The Mech RPG. And some copyright information.

Treasure Planet 2 (unproduced): The Centurion, art by Emil Mitev

It's all the more unfortunate that Treasure Planet didn't find its audience, as it was conceived as the beginning of a saga. A sequel was already in pre-production before being canceled a few days after the film's disastrous release.
The Centurion, art by Emil Mitev A concept sketch of a massive fantasy airship or flying galleon. The vessel features a complex rigging system and numerous billowing white sails, with mechanical elements integrated into the hull. The ship is shown flying past a detailed, dark industrial dock or platform with small buildings and cranes, set against a mostly white background.

Hey @bsky.app @safety.bsky.app @support.bsky.team please unsuspend Goran immediately.

Goran is a great person, a great artist, and the whole anti-Palestine thing youre on is one of those "Ford funding Hitler" disasters you remember being shocked and dismayed by when you learned of in middle school.

Human artists! Quote with your cyberpunk art!
A man in a black overcoat peeks beyond a corner with a smartphone to record the brutal beating of a man by two agents in riot gear bearing the writing "protection corps". In the alley, a few posters show corporate propaganda: "Confess to Deus: Only YOU can prevent data theft! Protect your corporation!" A droid wielding a grenade launcher leads a unit of gun-wielding robots, various flying drones, and an arachnoid mechanical abomination. The picture is in black and white, but each unit is connected to the leading droid through circular yellow lines. A man with a cybernetic head leans on his futuristic car. The man wears sneakers, jeans and a fur-lined jacket with lots of pins, and his cyberhead vaguely resembles a digital screen and an exposed V8 engine combined. The car is black, bulky, long and has no visible opening. A large, continuous reflective windshield acts as a coffin system. A large, headless tetrapod mech opens fire across the desert sands with a minigun and a light cannon. The mech has heavy, square shoulder pads loaded with missile launchers, and a frontal, vertical row of eye-sensors. Behind and above it, other similar mech are taking flight, compacting their form into a different configuration, or shooting with a flamethrower.

The Night Mare

#dailysketch 127

These continue to no longer be actually "daily" or actually "sketches", but still keeping them together in the hashtag for easy sorting.

Drawn as part of @jamesbbarrow.bsky.social's Weekly Art Along.
The prompt: "Thrashing Nightmare"

#art #illustration
The following flavour text written for my by my friend @artbyzvesta.bsky.social "Sorry what was that sire? The Night Mare? Are you sure that's the horse you want?" the sounds of some guy with too much money being offended "No, no! O-of course we t-tame her f-for you-" Meanwhile: -- A group of people try in vain to restrain a gigantic six legged horse with ropes. The horse has burning eyes and six siphon-like holes on its neck that appear to be spewing forth the night sky.
