Two more playmats I've drawn for my card game. #art #space #playmat

That piece I drew for the card game I'm working on looks so good on a playmat that I can barely believe I'm the one who drew it. I guess it's a good sign when you get impostor syndrome looking at your own work? #art #space #playmat

I'm anti war. Don't want anyone to start new wars. Just poking fun at the hypocrisy of warhawks when the war they have to fight does not fit their particular imperialist checklist at the time. thebad.website/comic/weapon... #smuggie #webcomic #comic #meme #satire #russia #war

Wowee my lines are shaky and unclean ever since I changed my mousepad for a new one. I guess the grime and dirt on my old torn apart mousepad were an important creative component for me. Weird. thebad.website/comic/startups #smuggie #webcomic #comic #meme #satire #startups #medicine #technology

Bought myself a birthday present a few weeks ago, it finally arrived. Learning to draw on this thing is hard, like re-learning to draw from scratch. But I'll take all the time it takes to learn, I bet it's worth the grind. Hopefully this will lead to improvements eventually!

Actually nevermind here's a smuggie good night #charliekirk

Was too busy chilling at the protests today to do a smuggie. It was a calm and relaxed experience, as chill as usual. Sorry about that. See you later for new drawings! #selfie #protest #paris #france #bloquonstout

Been a while since I did a classic nonsensical stickmen smuggie, hasn't it? thebad.website/comic/im_not... #smuggie #webcomic #comic #meme #racism #satire

This took me way too long to complete so now you have to see it too. All in MSPaint as usual. As for smuggies, I think my time will be best used mostly going back to my old stickmen (they're fun to draw!), keeping higher quality comics for special occasions once in a while. #art #pixelart #space

And then I realized… if I spend too much time on drawing game art lately, what if I used that art as the basis for a smuggie? Two birds, one stone. I missed drawing my silly stickmen, so there's also a stick version on the website. thebad.website/comic/overly... #smuggie #webcomic #comic #meme

No smuggie today because I spent half the day on a pixel art type piece for my card game instead. I really need to explore pixely stuff more in the future, it's super time consuming but also very fun to do. Needs more detailing to fill all that dead space, but it looks sick already. #pixelart

Watching someone who doesn't know I'm the website's author looking for a bit around lemauvais.site, then going "this stuff is really bad" and moving on with their day be like

Still drawing card illustrations (22 remaining to do) and I really feel more and more like I'm reaching the limitations of drawing in MSPaint with a mouse. Is it time for me to graduate to better tools? …nah who am I kidding I'll keep making my life harder for now 😂 #art #mspaint

No smuggie today but I'm trying new things and they turn out okay I guess. A bit dull, but when I try to add more details it ends up looking overcrowded. Exploring one new art style a day keeps the burnout away? #art #space

Remember how two days ago I wrote I was done with my 160 card illustrations and was going on an art break? So uh… I lied to myself. Already started drawing more. Addicted?🥺 This one's my take on classic mid 20th century pulp comic characters, can't have a proper sci-fi game without that!

And so ends my purple phase. I did it, drew 160 card illustrations in only two months. Average quality isn't great, and I feel massively burned out now, but I'm proud of it regardless, and improved a ton in the process. Worth it. Let's slow down for a bit now. #art

Macron showed up at a Yu-Gi-Oh tournament and that prompted me to draw something silly about current french politics in the cringe style of Yu-Gi-Oh. thebad.website/comic/trap_c... #smuggie #webcomic #comic #meme #yugioh #macron #melenchon #bayrou #10septembre #france #lfi

After drawing so much card art I'm running out of fresh ideas… so this one came out as "choose your starter pokemon" except it's a space battle. Something's wrong about the colors and the layout of that room though, worth a slight rework if I can unlazy myself. #art

The unhealthy urge to turn everything I draw into a t-shirt (not for sale) #longcat #cat

As I get close to the end of the summer grind, here's the five books I've used to learn how to improve my sketches. Would recommend all of them. Filled three sketchbooks over two months but still pretty bad at drawing by hand compared to with a mouse… must keep practicing, I guess. #art

My list of smuggie ideas has now grown to over four hundred. I regularly cull the bad/meh ideas, it's a curated list. I have drawn 257 smuggies so far over the past two years. The idea list grows faster than I draw them. This project is going to last quite a while isn't it…

I'm back! This one's based on an actual newspaper article that felt so snarky I had to turn it into a smuggie. Bonus panel on the website (as is often the case these days). thebad.website/comic/the_ne... #smuggie #webcomic #comic #meme #economics #capitalism

Where are my mouse and ctrl+z

I'm having a great time trying to learn to use a tablet instead of a mouse and it's going very well (it's making me question whether I even know how to draw). Going on a short trip, no smuggies for a few days. See you next week for more silly stuff! Thanks to all who follow ❤️ #art #tablet #fml

Earlier today I met someone who's 100% convinced the "artificial intelligence" service they chat with has achieved sentience. I'm at a loss for words. So I drew a smuggie about it. thebad.website/comic/artifi... #smuggie #webcomic #comic #meme #chatgpt #ai #agi #sentience #artificialintelligence

And so ends my grey phase. Getting better at making drawings look "alive" and/or scrappy, but still so so much room left to grow and improve. Will have to go back on my early illustrations afterwards and rework them with those improvements in mind. Purple phase comes next. #art

Learning about action lines has made my characters look more lifelike. This (free) book is great: www.scribd.com/document/444... Here's an example of my current sketch to finished work progress for a playing card illustration I drew today. #art

To clarify: This is about people who criticize the USA while missing that their criticism can also be applied to the EU. I don't dislike the EU as a concept. Frontex has killed hundreds of thousands of people. thebad.website/comic/good_i... #smuggie #webcomic #comic #meme #satire #eu #europe #usa

Came up with a card illustration idea that required drawing a hand, but I still don't know how to draw them so I used my own hand as a model. The process of going from paper sketch to finished drawing was fun. I find it easier to make everything straight lines in the inbetween step. #art #hand

A few recent pieces for my card game. Grey phase in progress. Getting a bit better at detailing, taking "little things" in consideration, and drawing more chaotic / less symmetrical content. Slower pace though, individual images are taking longer to draw. But it's worth it. #art #space

This one's way too long for Bluesky so read it on The Bad Website! thebad.website/comic/the_wo... #smuggie #webcomic #comic #meme #harambe #huh

Hand drew a smuggie for someone, now you have to see it too. It should help explain why I'd rather draw with a mouse than a pen. And it showcases what the guidelines below the smug art look like in practice :) thebad.website/comic/hostil... #smuggie #webcomic #comic #meme #satire #capitalism

After two months experimenting on drawing characters, it might be time to formalize and lock down my style instead of evolving aimlessly. Knowing myself I'll still evolve over time, but this is the current state of guidelines for characters in smuggies. thebad.website/comic/smug_g... #smug #art

This isn't (entirely) a dunk on farmers, it's a dunk on people's blind spot to things they dislike when it's "small", "local", "independent". thebad.website/comic/localw... #smuggie #webcomic #comic #meme #satire #ecology
