I have some film screenings coming up: :)

In the world of Azure Claw Comics, Azzura and Meredith occasionally have to venture into the less-visited parts of town where the Sovereign occupation watches over everything. And sometimes, this leads to danger!

For a turtle, the secret to success is finding your flow~ 🐢 Refreshed this old #pixelart of Tortie the sea #turtle for #pixel_dailies! @pixeldailies.bsky.social

Happy bun day! 🐰 Hop you enjoy those eggs!!! 🧺 #pixelart

Azure Claw Comics character art! For my first mini-comic, "Ninja Thief vs. Undead Hunter", I drew these character models of Izumi Yamazaki and Steve Makar, and I made them transparent and in full color just for fun. You can read that mini-comic here, by the way: azureclaw.com/comic/acc-0a...

LINUX CONVERSION...SUCCESS CRAB-B0T ACTIVATION...COMPLETE FELT CUTE...MIGHT TERMINATE LATER #pixelart

Hi everyone! I have been kind of tired after work sorry I havent been posting much. But I will do my very best to get the new demo version out this weekend!!💕 I will probably remove the old one tomorrow and give the page a make over. Screenshots for today💕 #gamedev

More shorts is more better! Dave's Moonshell Island AU strikes again! 🩳⚔️🦀

Here's another blast from the past! And by "the past", I mean some old drawings I've had sitting around! This one is @goawayimcrabby.bsky.social but she's a JRPG protagonist with a cool sword and the coolest fashion choice possible: three pairs of shorts!

Awww, this Crabby homecoming is so cute!! 🥰

Here's another quick bit of old fan art for #Moonshell_Island by @goawayimcrabby.bsky.social. This is my interpretation of Crabby going home to meet his parents. In my AU, Crabby comes from a family of regular hermit crabs and he's only now realizing how he's become different from them.

Character design is fun! Here are some black-and-white character designs from my second mini-comic, "Enemy of the Earth", which is readable on my website here: azureclaw.com/comic/xi-0b-0

This is a really valuable character design resource! I've got to keep this on hand for later!

At one point, Azure Claw Comics was potentially going to include cool cyborgs with huge laser arms that blast space monsters. I also threw it around as a game idea. So here is a little concept drawing I did of that!

Here's another older drawing. This one features my fighting robot, Three, just relaxing and holding hands with an engineer named Julia Gaston. There are a lot of things to worry about in this high-tech cybernetic future, but at least they have each other. For now.

I feel this way whenever I can be more active here. We may not all know each other well, but kindness is friendship in my book. Old and new, thank you for being my friends! 🦀💜

I absolutely ADORE this one!!! Biggs and Wedge look so cute, and I love all the easter eggs in the scene! Thanks for celebrating the return of Biggs with me, Dave!! 🥹💜

I'm bringing back this old pixel art tribute to @goawayimcrabby.bsky.social and her cats, because I think it's wonderful that Biggs is back and has time to rest and recover!

Hi everyone 🤗 I hope everyone had a beautiful Sunday! I know i'm a day late but will be making a Kofi post and one more devlog tomorrow before new demo release. Stay tuned! ✨️💕 #gamedev

Even Lobsters are protesting in Maine. Yarmouth ME. @pinetreeactivism.org

Important for all my friends in the United States!

This is the portrait of Azzura I created some years ago for when I need an Azure Claw Comics profile picture. And by that, I mean, I mostly use it for my Instagram page these days: www.instagram.com/azureclawcom... But I can do more with it! Probably! If I find the right place to put it!

Here's something from an older project. In fact, it's not just from an older project, but it's an old experiment in using brown charcoal pencils, connected to an older project! That's something I don't do often! The evil Valdis (on the right) is genetically engineered to be part cow!

Time for more classic arts of my own original characters! Here's Azzura Silverstar again! She punches disguised alien agents in the face and isn't afraid of anything (except for when she is!)

Dave's always helping me keep up with current technology! Crabby has never looked more future-proof! 😆

It looks like people love the little drawings I've made in honor of #Moonshell_Island by @goawayimcrabby.bsky.social ! So here is one that has never been shared publicly before! Why, what's this? It's powered by the latest technology from Nvidia! Amazing!

Hey everybody! Members of my Patreon starting as low as $0 a month can read this new update I just posted there! (It's about me! But also, there are drawings in it!) www.patreon.com/posts/its-ma...

These are amazing!! 😆

Here's another quick #Moonshell_Island fan art drawing I did as a little tribute to @goawayimcrabby.bsky.social ! In a true asSAMsin style, our protagonist sits on a bench, keeping a low profile to hide from the armed gourds! Also, @bjoern.neocities.org makes a cameo to bear witness!

This is so rad!! Crabby dangling from the Mock Duck's pinky is the cutest! 😂

Throwback to my first and most ambitious fan art I ever did for #Moonshell_Island by @goawayimcrabby.bsky.social ! In this one, Sam and Crabby take on their most dangerous enemy yet! The mega-sized nomster known as the Mock Duck! Are two whisks enough to take on this intense foe?!

In Azzura Silverstar's dystopian future, it's not often safe to show that you're one of the Seafolk; however, there are still some places where it's safe! Azzura likes to go to these places and bring her adoptive human family and her good friend Meredith. Today, they're getting ice cream cones!

I want to keep having cool things to share with you folks, and I want it to include all the art from certain old social media websites I don't use anymore. So in the interest of that, please enjoy these two random sketchbook sketches from an old sketchbook of mine!

My other original character! The ninja thief, Izumi Yamazaki, from the year 200X! She is here, and she means business!

This one goes out to @goawayimcrabby.bsky.social ! I love the world she's created for Moonshell Island and all the colorful characters that are in it! I drew my own version of her main character because I think she'd be even more badass with two whisks instead of one!

Alright, got some more tiles made and finished decorating the level, so I think I can call it complete! Might tweak it down the line, but it's time to move onto a new one. #screenshotsaturday

Mike Maihack's Batgirl and Supergirl comics are the best, and I wish this was the canonical version of these chararacters!

Members of my Patreon at a high enough tier can request a little drawing from me every month! I'm a little bit behind on those, but anyone can ask for one at any time! And here's one of the originals! A swordsmerman of my own creation from back in the early days of my Patreon!

While I've been more active here lately, I've been taking a break from #Moonshell_Island to recover from habitual burnout associated with the project. Recovery is taking a while, so... *clears throat and mimics Michael Scott* I DECLARE HIATUS!!! Read all about it: patreon.com/posts/152071092

Here's an old sketch of my best character, Azzura Silverstar! I sketched her in color this time, just because I could! And this may be the only time I've depicted Azzura wearing green. So that's something!

Work leaving you with no energy to relax isn't normal. But under capitalism, it is. Capitalism: Not even once!

If you see this, QRT with your ghost art! My friend here is going to join the party soon enough! He's a little tied up at the moment, but I can hear him in the basement getting ready to come say hello to everyone.

Here's another early concept drawing! There was a time when Azure Claw Comics very nearly included Victor Frankenstein! Yeah! This guy right here, seen pondering a flask! I'm not sure what was going on then.

I have finally updated my Bluesky bio to make me look more like I know what I'm doing! I hope it makes me come across as more followable!

I am not going to tell you to "have hope". I am going to tell you that the people who benefit from this want us to feel too small and too exhausted to do anything. Every dollar to MSF or body at a protest is action against that design. This is an ongoing struggle. They do not get to win by default.

And I would recommend everyone who can donate to MSF (Doctors Without Borders), one of few international medical orgs in Iran: doctorswithoutborders.org The ICRC also works with Iran's Red Crescent and has been operating there since 1977: icrc.org
