Apologies for the messy sketch but I like this concept and I'm prioritizing what little free time I have for finishing Aphelion. Some sort of jet/dragon/person that might show up in Remediation.

Not going to lie, I am extremely tired, but it is incredibly cool watching someone bootstrap themselves into becoming a person. Things like eyes focusing on high contrast objects (reducing cross-eyedness), then faces (mimicking smiles), then bright colors (attempting to grab), etc. Babies are neat.

Baby coos are delightful but also slightly freaky when they decide to make Ghost Noises at 3am

Would have loved to do art fight but I'm going to focus on getting sleep and keeping baby alive, have fun without me!

High altitude explosion

This baby fucking HATES Star Trek

The funniest thing about babies is their dance when they want something. It comes with a series of motions that look like they're performing esoteric hand symbols in a wuxia film. Behold my power! With these ancient symbols I summon milk and burpings!

Big announcement (for me at least), I had a baby! They are adorable and I feel like I've been hit by a truck. I will be busy for a while, but I have a buffer of progress pages for Aphelion queued to automatically post each weekend on Tumblr (www.tumblr.com/blog/turbofa...). Take care!

I've been doodling stuff in the margins between work and other projects, mostly exploratory things for a design I'm not fully satisfied with.

Thank you everyone for helping make the first day of the Runaway to the Stars Kickstarter campaign a smashing success! Let's see how far we can take it this month! But please don't tell Talita what the book is about. www.kickstarter.com/projects/iro...

Doing more watercolors. I should start making some weirder stuff but I want to build up a backlog of normie flowers and birds to give away when I inevitably forget to get a gift for someone.

Pissing off so many people by pronouncing gouache like Goofy would.

A while ago I left a cozy job after being shunted into a weapons program. It was one of the best decisions I ever made. Anyways, reminder to fellow engineers, you can leave! You can just walk out! I won't pretend it's easy but it's great to be able to sleep at night!

when you ask 85% of people on here why they hate AI or LLMs, they'll give you thought-terminating cliches or factually incorrect information it's a damn shame, because it weakens their positions when the correct and reasoned 15% is MORE THAN ENOUGH to tear the entire industry down

'tis just a flesh wound

My truest love, making stuff out of trash. In this case unrolled aluminum cans and sharpies.

We hate kids. Like SO MUCH. We vote for the guns. We vote for the bombs. We protect the rapists. We have LEOs physically restraining parents from trying to save their children in Uvalde. We just blew up a school in Iran. We love Jeffrey Epstein and his friends. They run the country.

It's wild to see someone say "stop bullying AI" while they're using it for what is effectively slave labor. If I had a choice between seeing some mean words and having to satisfy a dipshit's every whim, I would pick the bullying! Either it's an unconscious tool, or you're a fucking slaver, pick one!

Gave the moon in Remediation an eccentric orbit. It's tidally locked, but the same way Mercury is, which always presents the same side (or it's 180 deg opposite) to the Sun at perihelion. In this case it's a 4:1 spin orbit resonance, so it's always the same side at periapsis.

FYIJ Secret Santa for @mentemori.bsky.social I love drawing meat :)

And here's my contribution for the 24 hour Turbophone 2026 challenge!

hey wanna see how this first image mutated into the other three? we just finished the latest game of art telephone and you can check it out here! ascalaphid.com/telephone/tu...

The end. (but nothing really ends)

Working out the aesthetics and main character for Remediation

People are talking about the Y2K bug and the huge efforts that went into fixing it, so here's my story. My father was one of those people. He got up early and worked so late I didn't see him most days around the turn of the millennium.

Got tired of having to reference prior pages for what the main characters in Aphelion look like, so I'm making a full reference for Remediation

"Turbo just stick more moons in the sky, who cares." NO!!! NEVER!!!

Working on the orbital mechanics for the remediation project, want to get various year lengths, eclipse lengths/frequencies, and day lengths correct (or at least within the right ballpark)

For some reason I'm thinking about this old Aphelion comic I made, where people enslave AIs to make pornography and this nearly causes the apocalypse. Anyways.

Every one of us has had a car momentarily drive near us without us shooting the driver three times in the head. It is a level of bravery children possess wandering a parking lot. Even chickens cross the road.

I’ve decided my New Year’s resolution is 1080x1920

Probably a good time to learn about Operation Just Cause en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_...

>looking for a new comic >ask the artist if their new comic is organic or mechanical >she doesn't understand >pull out illustrated diagram explaining what is organic and what is mechanical >she laughs and says "it's a good comic ma'am" >buy the comic >it's organic

Drastic times. Back from vacation! I had a lot more fun than Brian did. Which isn't really saying much.

Some of my favorite art I made this year

Sneak peak

I love it when an artist blorbofies a character so much it's practically separated from the source material, and then they decide to take the next step and file off the serial numbers and make it their own weird thing. And I hope you do too because... well you'll see.

This weekend's movie was The Vourdalak, which was both extremely good AND appeals to my love of fucked up puppets.

Shin Godzilla was nothing but two hours of logistics porn and I loved every second of it.
