Reposting my silly traitors comic I made yesterday.

Looking forward to Thursday. @robhasapodcast.bsky.social

Reflection on some of the art I loved this year, The Absolute Series: These books examine what is the self through inconic characters. I want more mainstream comics to lean into the damage that the current administration and billionaires are creating for the everyday person.

My partner and I gave our 1 year old nephew the pokemon starter pushies as a Christmas present this year. And much to his fathers joy, I can report the Squirtle Squad had a new member.

"people can still download your art from bsky and feed it into AI" if gamer behavior has taught me anything, just one extra button press is more than enough to annoy a MASSIVE amount of people into not making the effort

Love when two of my favorite video essayist have videos that act like a conversation. @princesmweekes.bsky.social @kazrowe.bsky.social

Tuesday Tip: "You can edit it later" applies to comic book artists, too. The only way to start a comic book page is to draw something on it. Even if you redraw it later.

Eastern Red Bat

Recent watercolor painting I made while on the beach. Finished maybe an hour before the rain started.

Redeemed some work points for a book store gift card and pre-ordered @stephenfishbach.bsky.social and @taranarmstrong.bsky.social upcoming books. It's way past time I add more genres to my comic and art history book collection.

The new video is finally out! 1/6 finally finished. Really excited to see the conversations around this one and already having interesting discussions about Frieren. Now my reward is one hour of uninterrupted Hades II www.youtube.com/watch?v=uQh6...

Animatic / storyboard practice! Wanted to make a transition screen for my stream with my sona and mascot with tons of action but only one camera :3c

Taran's Live Feed Update theater. #bb27 #rhap

Sketch while the new hvac was installed. Still very new to digital painting. But here is Cirie from #survivorau

Excited for Survivor AU v The World and the podcast team talking about it. @pooyaism.bsky.social @amikebloomtype.bsky.social @chappellskickback.bsky.social @shannongaitz.bsky.social

Did a little sketch from the #rhap daily update of #bb27

The prototype for my board game is almost complete! *devilish laugh with thunder strike* #boardgamedesign #games #Umami

@erikreichenbach.bsky.social just started watching the rhap interview with Brandon Donlon. Graphic novel memoirs have to be one of my favorite genres looking forward to pre-orders and release dates!

This has to be the most chaotic, self-destructive group of Traitors I’ve ever seen. And I absolutely loved it #TheTraitorsUS

don't worry:

why does this keep happening

I’ve been working on improving my rendering/colors and specifically skin tones. Doing Pinterest pages of portraits like these is helping immensely. I want to try pushing stylization next 🤔 #procreate #digitalpainting #art #portraiture

Feeling... rough. Lately.

this weekend has been so ducking silly, i don’t want it to end! #p4a2025

I both love and hate that I still had this cursed image from last year easily accessible in my camera roll... @hankgreen.bsky.social @projectforawesome.bsky.social #p4a2025

Literally just the absolute worst. Now they want to try to steal fan fiction from creatives so they can use it for their own profit because they can't come up with original ideas for their own damn IP.

Retweet to save an artist's life

So my wife and I have a survivor draft, and the winner decides a dinner date. Each person has a team of half the cast, and points are assigned by reverse boot order. My best case scenario is a Sue or Sam win, and I'd still lose by 9 points. #survivor

I love my Komory Bat as it's been a great ornament plush for the past few years. Adorable!

Final painting from my most recent session #art was told this one reminds friends of Stellaluna, which brought a big smile to my face. Still have a plush of Stella and her mom from childhood.

Megabat at sunset #art. Goofy bat photo I saw inspired this quick watercolor painting.

Big eared microbat on the ground. Thinking about starting a series of more detail oriented watercolor illustrations over next year.

Working on improving my watercolor technique. Sketching my favorite animals and painting them seems like a good way to be invested. #art

Soon.... 👀

Last update for the night before I pass out- behold the tray of batbat faces! Fingers crossed I'm hoping to get this batch assembled over the weekend. :)

Digital Artists, Here's a living document of art resources including reference tools, accessible (non-Adobe) programs, brush tools and more. Use as you wish: docs.google.com/document/d/1...

Yea, that’s totally what art is for, to be bullied by the oppressive powers and tucked away until you feel it’s “safe”. Rod Serling and how he put alien stories on Twilight Zone to sneak in discussions about racism in 1959 and in 2024 we’re afraid to feature cartoon trans people.

It's been overtime central at work. But I have a plan to finish 2 animatics by the end of the year. Hope the (pipples) will enjoy one last Delete This Animatic.

Had finally put together outfits for Ren Faire this past year.

Looks like my summer vacation is over.

Wisdom from Lauren Walsh on the hellsite:

PAX 2024 vacation was so much fun.

Been wanting to start a comic soon so I can make art that isn't hidden from most of the world by ndas. Love finding these resources and wanted to share after buying and reading mine.

A follow up to the bat rogue I drew earlier. My Pelican Knight

I am overwhelmed with ideas to work on and create and completely unable to decide where to start.

Game environment illustrations! Concepted the settings for a fake platformer where you play as a tiny lizard going deep underground to fight unknown evil!! Title: Canopy 🎨

Thinking of making stickers based on animals as fantasy archetypes. Here is a lil Rogue Bat.
