David Corenswet is a really sweet guy and that's how I know he'd be okay with it if he found out that I keep telling people around Philly that I beat him at ping-pong 23 years ago

I have all this art of my book characters that I rarely if ever post here. What tag am I supposed to put on it to get it in front of people's eyes?

I've been in a lot of drawpiles lately. here's various guys of wildly varying quality (feat. nightopian arm rest by @shinigamiapples.bsky.social hiiiiiii)
#NiGHTSintoDreams
#NiGHTSintoDreams
![Several sketches featuring characters from NiGHTS into Dreams, mostly NiGHTS themselves. Several memes are referenced.
the "Please, it's Christmas!/It's December 10th!" scene from the show Community (NiGHTS is in festive attire, on the ground, while Sonic the Hedgehog threatens them with a large, decorative candy cane)
NiGHTS smiling and extending their hand, captioned with "let's commit patricide together." Wizeman's hand floats in the background saying "dude wtf"
the "Hoy hoy I'm the boy, packing 80 pounds of heavenly joy" panel from the Doom Comic (NiGHTS is hoisting a poorly drawn minigun here, with a nefarious look)
a tweet reading "wtf are daddy issues ? just traumatize your father back." Beneath the caption, NiGHTS is reclining midair with a smug look on their face, using a Nightopian drawn by my friend Shini as an arm rest.
A Nightopian with an especially clueless face, captioned "Got any games on ur phone?"
NiGHTS concentrating very hard next to a text message reading "sometimes I try to sync our dreams so I can terrorize you in different dimensions. one day I'll get u"
NiGHTS holding Classic Sonic, who is holding a lollipop, captioned with a tweet edited to read "When [NiGHTS] takes you to see the sails ships [...] and is in fine humour so you are rewarded for being an agreeable young boy." There is additional text reading "family photo energy" above them.
NiGHTS resembling a simplistic mouse plushie, with the caption "Me after being sandpapered nice and smooth"
And various other uncaptioned doodles of NiGHTS making different expressions.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:4drv2lwnqdqwypukxdk7l4o3/bafkreietu7jbsdz3srv5zoql4m3zbjvvwl2ysqlqobe7okcnynxsfy4mqm@jpeg)

Bringing a favorite prompt here with my own girl Pilar. Every artist should do their #oc or favorite character as the "[Location] MENTIONED!!" meme. Template in thread!
![[Pilar Spacebreather, a Latina woman with multiple tattoos and piercings, in a cartoon style, wearing a shirt that reads "¡HECHO EN MARTE!" and carrying a bottle of Pisco, a jar of sazon adobo, and a packet of achiote, standing on the surface of Mars. She is standing on the surface of Mars and flanked by two Martian flags. The caption reads: "MARS MENTIONED"]](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:ao4b6xyobaplgq5jirgt5nyb/bafkreicwhh6mqmrxvqlmqcj2vncxlbwjqph7x2rkyucgdw3vc4c7nywgqm@jpeg)

Did a collaboration (we both drew both!) with @oldest-sport.bsky.social of my character (Cabrera, right) cyberbullying her character (Ónoma, left) 🦈!
![[Ónoma, a green haired young scientist with dark goggles, types furiously at her laptop in the dark with cartoon steam coming out her ears]](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:ao4b6xyobaplgq5jirgt5nyb/bafkreid5jmegulnuq7o7fa77slxnsvwghs4ihpdrzdjl3s472kusj3lrdq@jpeg)
![[Cabrera, an incredibly tiny Latina woman in comfortable shorts and a sports bra, with dyed blonde hair, sits in the dark on a gamer chair surrounded by computer screens. She wears a look of smug satisfaction on her face, as she types out a message insisting on the smoothness of sharks]](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:ao4b6xyobaplgq5jirgt5nyb/bafkreigipmncimmqnq5cg5syq4d2bgah2b2bruzc5lrm3pnelig5gt3num@jpeg)

I don't have much for it yet but I made a secret, private bluesky for any NSFW art I might do. I don't do a ton but I'm looking for a place to post it when I do. Reach out if you want the handle!
