I'm being totally normal about making a whole team of magical girl centaurs for the CupidCats #arpg

Capturing unmade friends.. Maybe they can still be saved? 🥺 #arpg

Filled out my information for my virtual graduation and feeling really proud of myself! 🥹 I'm graduating summa cum laude which means a lot to me as someone who believed for years that I wasn't smart enough to pursue an academic degree. But I did it! And I did a really good job!!

Every magical girl needs an animal companion!

I always think it's really funny when someone says a place on Earth looks like another planet.

When life gives you comet Lemmon you take your 9yo out to a dark graveyard and look at it with your late great uncle's binoculars.

Inktober Day 26: Puzzling. I know why and how rainbows are formed but every time I see them I still think "WHAT!? HOW!? SO BEAUTIFUL! HOOOWW!" I wonder what our distant ancestors thought of it.

VALOR update: I'm going to sketch VALOR pages for a couple of months and start updating with finished pages again once I have a big buffer of sketched pages built up. Tentative return date will be mid-Dec. This process works better for me than trying to draw a whole page from scratch every week!

I have this urge to apologize for not updating my webcomic, but that's absurd and I don't think that should be my first impulse. Art is hard man. My comic will still be there when I'm feeling better and so will those who want to read it. 💖

I'm having a hard time and might not get a comic page up tomorrow, but I'll try to get something up this week.

Junar has one surviving sister, Jaya. There are two deceased siblings between them. This created an age gap, but they are still very close. ❤️ They have a strong bond. Junar's journey is motivated by her. Their relationship is the core of the story.

Drawing little guys and trying not to spiral.

I'll be available for work again in October if anyone is looking for an inker! 👀🖤 cavetoonist.com#hireme

October!!!

I just have to post this #iceage masterpiece from time to time: A tiny (3.7 cm) but amazing figurine of a woolly mammoth carved in mammoth ivory some 40,000 years ago. Found in the Vogelherd cave on the Swabian Jura, south-west Germany. 📷 me 🏺

Thinking about moving VALOR updates to Mondays. 🤔 Friday updates have been stressing me out!

it is just tragic to get extremely excited about something in the webcomic that i will not get to for quite a while

~COMMISSIONS ARE OPEN!~ At last, here they are :D Please check my site: yasmeencoms.carrd.co for details. Contact me if you are interested in a commission.

I graduated school and I'm between jobs right now so I've been feeling very discombobulated! I wish I knew how to relax! 😂 I made myself a schedule that I'm going to commit to for a month to see how it goes. Trying to create a guilt-free balance between comics work, family time, and chilling out!!

Children loved to play with toys in #Roman times too: some 1,800 years ago, a child in Cologne was buried with a terracotta horse with a rider on wheels. It was certainly a much-loved which the child was also supposed to play with in the afterlife. 📷 Römisch-Germanisches Museum Köln 🏺 #archaeology

Time to update your Palaeolithic palettes... 🔵 Very proud to share our new research on the OLDEST use of blue pigment! We identified traces of azurite - a vibrant blue mineral - on a stone object around 14-13,000 years old. Why is this so exciting? 👇🏺 doi.org/10.15184/aqy...

I never made a pinned introduction post, so here it is! Hello! 👋 I post about my interests here (prehistory, art, video games, animals, etc). I enjoy drawing animals and make fandom fanart. Currently writing a prehistoric graphic novel about Neanderthals. Majored in Anthropology.

I've been so distracted this week, but I'm sloooooowly chipping away at some new pages for VALOR! I feel like I'm getting the hang of drawing my characters haha! I love them so much!! 🥹

Anyway, this is my new webcomic VALOR!!! It's my love letter to black and white comics and character driven sci-fi stories. 🖤

I had a really yucky feeling about posting my new webcomic to Webtoons so I decided against it and welp..

STAMPEDE!!!

Gosh I miss SPX so much.. I might plan to go next year even if I don't get a table! 🥺

I had the COOLEST DREAM!! Usually my subconscious is like.. here's some unprocessed trauma for you to unpack, but NOT THIS TIME! This time it was SCI FI and MAGIC and EPIC and totally going on my list of comics I want to make someday. 👀

I had to do so many responsible adult things yesterday! 😫 Today I'm going to draw comics and go to the comic book store like nature intended!!!!!

Just gotta ink one more little face on the next VALOR page and then it will be going up on Patreon!! Public tomorrow. The last couple of weeks have been rough, but I'm hoping to pick up the pace with this comic soon. 👀✨

Car troubles have me thinking about opening my online shop again. I have a bunch of stickers I don't think I've shared online at all! One of which is a glow-in-the-dark stegosaurus skeleton that rules!! 👀

The drawing in question! 🐻✨ For an art game called Baobears. I'm always so torn about sharing my art game shenanigans on main, but this one is relevant! 😂

Me drawing right now: Wow this is so cute! What the heck! How am I so good at art?!
