“THE NON-ARTIST FIXATION ON HYPERREALISM AS THE PINNACLE OF ART IS CLEARLY PART OF THE REASON SO MANY ADULTS THINK THEY CANNOT DRAW OR CONSIDER THEMSELVES TO BE FAILURES, KAWAII, FOLK ART, DOODLES, OR OTHER EASIER ENTRY POINTS ARE CONSIDERED CHILDISH, WHICH IS WHY JAPANESE DRAWING BOOKS ARE BETTER…”

New boot goof

New Comic Book Friday: The third (and final) part of the OCTOBER GIRL tie-in story I've been serializing on my Patreon, Truths & Visitations, is now up for all of my paid subscribers! #TheOctoberGirl #MakingComics #PatreonComics

The internet just showed me this response drawing that I posted five years ago. Feel free to use it if you have a need.

Kids stop breaking shit in my library 2025 challenge.

Me: Got two weeks of solid vacation coming up in December, what shall I do... Also me: You have 130+ hrs of Blender tutorials you could go through. Me: Just something to fill the time... Also me: You have 4 comic pitches in various stages of incomplete. Me: Anything'll do... Also me: -_-

First SFX of the day. Digitally hand-drawn with my custom "Schmarker BB" Illustrator brushes. (Available on Blambot.)

Sketchbook: Amelia Shadows, the not kids version For some reason I had the urge to draw the original adult version of Amelia this morning, so... you know... here you go!

"At first you don't even notice it" someone says of the AI cartoon alpaca they generated. The alpaca has SIX limbs. Four legs and two arms growing out of its neck. Not a joke. An actual thing someone said in the AI presentation I'm sitting though at work.

Anybody on here use the Clip Studio Tabmate? Any good? I've only ever used keyboard hotkeys but I feel like it's time to look to other options.

Hudson Hawk, underappreciated classic or staggering work of unparalleled genius?

Boimler's complete disinterest in all the women shamelessly throwing themselves at him back home is one of my favorite jokes in the whole series. Can't these cheap hussies see he's got EXPLORATION to do!?

I invited some of my friends to a movie watch day earlier today (online, I rarely see friends in person these days, we're all spread out and busy), and we watched Heroic Trio for the first time. Amazing time. It was the PERFECT movie to watch to unwind on a Saturday morning. So absurd. SO ABSURD.

I made a joke in my main Discord server about DOOM E1M1 being in a major key and @abigbagofkeys.sickonedude.com actually made it. Jesus fucking Christ listen to this hahahaha

My grandmother was a complicated lady, but she loved me more than anything. If someone made a grotesque AI simulacrum of her I would start kicking them in the nuts and not stop until they died.

If you're a Kon-head, here's another one for ya.

the legacy sequels episode (PART 1) is finally out on youtube youtu.be/jvXZYxpjHKU

Hey! Here is a really important distinction: satire vs. being shitty, but in a jokey tone

Mood

big splash

I'm feeling down but I saw this pic of Sigourney Weaver and it made me feel 2% better.

I feel like every name they add tot he Doomsday cast list is another month I'll wait before seeing that movie. Why are we dragging back in the X-Men movie folks again? They've had a send off. Like four of them. Stooooooop. It's embarrassing at this point.

Spaceship doodle with digital color overlay.

Saw a video with the line "if I'm not sad it's only because I'm so anxious" and I had to pause for a second to process. Like, that isn't my overall experience... far from it... but it's more of my experience than I'd like. It'd be easier if *gestures broadly* wasn't happening all the time.

THEY DID IT. THOSE SONS OF BITCHES ACTUALLY DID IT @mikemcmahan.bsky.social www.playstartrekonline.com/en/news/arti...

Random panel from 10 years ago. Hoo-boy. 10 years...

Finally picked up a copy and let me tell you, it's very clear the folks who made this really *really* love the Culture books (complimentary).

Your seasonal reminder that I design t-shirts (and related products) for grumps, queers, and weirdos. Impress your relatives at Thanksgiving Dinner! Surprise Grandma with the perfect Hanukkah present! Support a queer, trans independent artist who's been job-hunting since April!

Fellow pervs and fantasy nerds, an interview with the creators of Oglaf. If you haven't read Oglaf (and you are of an age old enough to buy alcohol)check it out. It's equal parts silly and raunchy and great.

Anyway...

So every freelancer you know is going to lose their insurance or be bankrupted by premiums because Schumer is an invertebrate

Hey @schumer.senate.gov

Democrat Senators talking a lot of shit for being in a country where 7 million people mobilized not that long ago to show them how easy it would be to pull them apart bodily.

Presented without comment.

I saw Frankenstein. My review is you should see Frankenstein.

Describe your cat's personality with one photo:

The X-Men animated theme is still the top of the charts, but I do have an abiding affection for a track whose lyrics consist solely of: X-Men! Get it! Come on! Do it!

Supreme Court's talking a lot of shit for being in a country where 7 million people mobilized not that long ago to show them how easy it would be to pull them apart bodily.

The art of British illustrator and comic book artist John Bolton.

In one QUARTER!? Just give every single American $30 instead. It's literally cheaper and people will like you more.

Holy shit.

As a rule I'm not a fan of eternal punishment as rhetorical device, but these are ICE agents so fuck'em. The hot priest is right.

Joe Manganiello having a good day, I see.

I hear it's running for president in 2028 and I like its chances.

The Kardashev scale is similar to megastructures or warp drives. Fun for fantasy scifi stories, but the moment someone starts talking about it as though it's a real thing I immediately check out. It is a fundamentally unserious idea.

I mean, I don't know this guy so maybe he always has that sweaty nervous energy... but if not, boy that's some sweaty nervous energy for a guy who thinks he's printing money, huh?

More BETTER LETTERER for you. And before the inevitable "that's not how I do it" replies, keep in mind that, by and large, this is how it's done in pro American comics (Marvel, DC, etc.) I've worked for all of them. More tips: blambot.com/pages/letter...
