knowing the difference between an illusion or a True Vision of Things to Come is an important life skill to develop

Whoa! Hello everyone! Here's a few pages from a comic I never posted. Just for bluesky ppl 😜

A Dad and his Son! 💝

"Well you see, it doesn't REALLY matter how tough they are. Constructs can't swim, so if they act too erratically, we just teleport them to The Deep Place. No mess or anything!" -Velope, Warlock and Specialist in Construct Research

"Mages that become Warlocks are not only lazy, but stupid! Do they not understand that time is their friend? That they could have power of their own? All knowledge made freely available... and yet they choose to borrow the LIES of DEMONS?!" -Rant by the Wizard Fizzy, later retracted through censure

"Though intelligent, the Demon seeks only energies, sweetened by thoughts and emotions. Do not trick yourself that there can be more, even as they seek to stir your mind and heart. A flame acts as a friend when contained, yet will consume without remorse. It is only hunger." -Warlock Teacher Fen

Some late but festive holiday doodles! Or maybe just very very early.

"The merit of humanity is the mind. All else can be done cheaper, better, or faster by unthinking beasts or unfeeling automata. Our weakness is the desire to relinquish the burden of the mind. To do so is the same as embracing death. Think more, think harder, no matter what." -The Wizard Austazufio

Always remember that images are treacherous hallucinations. Lines and colors that require a perceiving mind to have any meaning. Enjoy!

Although all Wizards are required to choose and be part of an Institution, there are some that have grown too powerful to enforce any rules upon. Some of these Wizards reject not only rules, but Society entirely.

A variety of people, all of whom are DEEPLY EVIL

"Although they *technically* have "spells" and "reagents" and even pass down "knowledge" the fact that their Magic changes due to intention and raw "feelings" shows how crude their technique truly is." -A note in a grimoire on the magical art of Witches, and why it should be disregarded

some supernote nomad drawings that I shouuuuuld color! Maybe one day! Maybe not one day!

"Angels, Devils, Gods, Demons, Spirits, and so forth. Just call them what they are! NONHUMAN. And thus, beneath us, INHERENTLY!" -Outburst by the Arch Summoner Kendani, made in the Great Boardroom

23rd October here we GOOO :DDD

The daughter of Dr. Isomov, Docha, is following in her father's footsteps, but has not yet reached the heights of his genius in robotic creations. Her father feels that until she "embraces self-indulgence" she will never truly shine as a creator.

"Artificial Intelligence? What is this nonsense? I have no need for such things! I am perfectly content with Clockwork Golems and Undead Reanimations!" -Wise Words of the Arch Lich Kudurru

Angel's Orchard is FAST approaching 200 (two hundred) PAGES! ¤ø,¸¸,ø¤º°`°º¤ø demonsmirror.com ø¤°º¤ø,¸¸,ø¤º°`°º¤ø Enjoy watching our plucky heroine Gerda overcome incredibly powerful enemies and totally not lose her entire identity, sanity, and humanity! Also the demon Cezar becomes a dad.

The inaccuracy of language around AI is a serious, SERIOUS detriment to understanding. AI that makes a goomba move is not ML, ML is not an LLM, LLMs aren't even image diffusion models! "AI" as an umbrella term for so many disparate technologies is a prime vector for the harm being wrought.

Although looked down on by other Wizards, and forbidden from attaining "Arch Mage" status, there is no debating that Warlocks can amass and exert immense power rapidly. Perhaps it is the rapidity and lack of full understanding of that power that so often leads to such short, terminal, careers.

drew something. trying to experiment with brushes, texture, and color. all at once. don't know if it worked.

"She's so wonderfully volatile and effective, isn't she? Perhaps I'll put her up on the mantle above the fireplace, when I'm done with her." -Cynthia, The Snow Queen

"You must understand, that even though in many ways they are the opposite of the Wizards, the Witches are NOT on our side." "Then how are they the opposite? What do they oppose?" "Bureaucracy." -Advice from an Elder to his son

bringing critter aura to the function

"Eyes are the window to the soul. Also look out for the fingers and the hands. In general try to be aware of anything that shows the body is actually a demonic construct, as they do not TRULY understand what it is to be human." -Advice on Demon Aquisition, for novice Warlocks

Travelers on the road alone should avoid travelers on the road alone. -Old proverb

Although encouraged to take on "traditional" Adventurer aesthetics, some adventuring AI prefer to take on more esoteric shapes and methods of hunting monsters, for hard to explain reasons.

"You say I'm not a real person? Hard to prove, philosophically. But after you are dead and buried, I will remain, and I will put the point in my favor." -Quote from the AI Adventurer "Roseless Thorn Adrift on a Sea of Gore"

Happy #makeaterriblecomicday2025 to those who celebrate

Although made up of highly advanced Magi-Tech, Ai Adventurers are consistently awful at using technology themselves. They will always deny this fact, when pressed.

Finished the hand-embroidered tree canopy. Now working on the moss. I love mossy trees!! 🌳 😍💚 #scape #forestfriday #ArtYear #textileart #wip #felt #handembroidery #needlefelt

One of the many missed opportunities. It's been years since I tried and failed to work on this comic. I might show more if I find the originals as they should be around. I'm snipping these from Instagram ^^

People from various spaces and places 💫

why enemy shaped if not enemy??

Remember, true Demons take on only the SUPERFICIAL FORM of humanity. They emulate our speech, our actions, our emotions. It is all a mask. No matter what they look like, what they say, or what you feel... Remember your humanity. Reject theirs. -Warlock Teacher Fen

For what is a man, what has he got? If not himself, then he has naught To say the things he truly feels And not the words of one who kneels 🎵
