Me and @momodriller.bsky.social's sweet baby boy has lost limb function very suddenly and is getting worse daily. He needs an MRI and (likely) surgery. It's expensive. We've already spent over $1k and can't afford much more, & he's running out of time. Anything helps, thank you. gofund.me/ba3da64f4

Characters based on some creepy vintage deer figures. They are North Pole hitmen who perform Christmas themed hit jobs and finish each other's sentences.

[ #furryart #artistsonbluesky ]

Two anthro deer in holiday themed clothing and Santa hats float in a void. They have sinister catlike eyes and ominous grins. A long ribbon is wrapped around their arms and the one in the dress holds a pair of scissors, poised to cut it (maybe).

new thread for "the bloodsalt flats, a god's blood chronicles story", parts 1 to 4

part one. three panel comic strip. on the left is a boxy robot named millie. on the right is a black haired woman with a large beak named becca.

panel 1:
millie says "Nomads have been spotted approaching from across the flats. Would you and your new friend like to come along on the hike out to trade with them?"

becca says "I'll invite her to come along if I spot her. She has taken to wandering far to scavenge for food."

panel 2:
millie says "you got her yo quit "scavenging" from your kitchen?

becca says "Geo complains she nabs his food sometimes, but she's actually been feeding off the carcass of something big that washed up on the coast."

panel 3:
millie says "that explains why she's been looking so... "robust"! I hope she does come along, it will be a good opportunity to chat with her and learn where she came from."

becca thought bubble says : "... "robust" ?"

part two. basically the "title page", despite it coming second. text at the top says "The Bloodsalt Flats"

four characters walk on a raised white path beneath a white sky, behind and around them to the horizon is a uniform dark pink/light red plain, the titular "bloodsalt flats". these are surely the "flats" previously mentioned that nomads have been seen approaching across, this must be the journey to go meet them.

the four characters present are :

becca in the top left, a woman with long black hair and large beak, dressed in blouse skirt and shoes

geo in the bottom left, a small blemmy wearing pants and shoes

millie in bottom center, the boxy robot on wheels, towing a boxy cart. she wears a hat and apron.

gathy on the right, a woman of unusual proportions with long black hair, sharp teeth, sharp claws, and so on. she is the "new friend" previously mentioned

part three. two panel comic strip.

panel 1:

millie the robot wearing a hat, on the left, looks up at gathy who is not completely in-panel, on the right.

millie says "Gathy, you've been hanging around with us for a little while now, but we still know so little about you! How did you wind up out here?"

panel 2:

Gathy's head swings down into view from out of panel.
gathy says "Why question me? Tell about yourselves first instead."

Millie says "Alright, if that will help you feel comfortable..."

part four. three panel comic strip. the characters are still beneath the white sky and surrounded by the pink/red bloodsalt flats.

panel 1:
millie the robot says "I came to these remote regions decades back to set up shop and research how to reconnect ancient communication cables, remotely access any remaining intact satellites, or failing those options, launch new communication satellites of my own. Sadly the last is looking like the most probable course of action despite the difficuly. Over the course of my time in this land, I met Becca and Geo and premitted them to shelter with me."

panel 2:
becca the beaked woman says "My family was plagued with social and financial pressures, so I chose not to accompany them as they migrated to a fortified town. After a series of false starts trying to live with other communities, I travelled along the coast and encountered Millie, who allowed me to stay with her as I worked on my art and writing. It is still slow going, but more progress than I've ever made elsewhere."

panel 3:
geo the blemmy says "I was on the run from corrupt and unjust law. I came way out here because once you get far enough away they figure you're probably dead in a ditch anyway. Millie let me camp out at her place and I help her out with her little project as best I can. Finding things for her. You know."

(special notes: i know this violates your precious show dont tell shit, right? okay. would you want to read long backstory comics about each of these three? maybe or maybe not. am i feeling up for actually writing and drawing long backstory comics for each of these three right now? hell no i am not)

had this joseph fasano one opened up perpetually on a tab in my phone for the past year

How My Son, Age 2, Wakes Me by Joseph Fasano
"for Leo"

It is not enough to love this world
halfway.
You teach me that.
You nestle
in my hands.

I fall asleep
with chaos in my gnarled heart.

But you wake me
with my broken, old harmonica.
I clap for you
with one eye closed, one open.
No, you say. Get up. It's day now.
Dance.

So in the UK, they'll arrest you for supporting Palestine, and now we find they'll also arrest you for supporting those who support Palestine.

If you hold a Free Greta sign, will they arrest you for supporting someone who supports those who support Palestine?
