good afternoon #portfolioday! I'm currently working on a comic called Summer Grass, Winter Worm which is a drama/slice of life about entomology and Tibetan Buddhism. you can read the beginning here: grassworm.net
4 panel comic drawn with digital pencil.
1 - Thulia offers white silk scarf toward three people seated at a table full of food.
THULIA: This is for the Venerable
SONGTSEN: Lhamo Yeshe Rinpoche.
2 - The scarf is held at one end by Thulia's round hand and on the other end by Lhamo's pointy, long-nailed hand.
3 - Lhamo holds the scarf close to/in front of her mouth. Her eyes are closed.
Narration: I couldn't hear the words she whispered -- just a quiet -- rhythm -- 
4 - A bony hand with long pointed thumb nail (foreground right) offers the scarf back to Thulia (background left) who wears a dopey smile.
LHAMO: Welcome, and may all your efforts bear fruit.
THULIA: [tiny] thank you!
Narration: --of susurrations 2 panel comic drawn in digital pencil.
1 - Nyima stands in a shadowed passageway, gesturing beyond the open doorframe toward a 3-tiered, octagonal pagoda.
NYIMA: In the center is our prayer hall
2 - The pagoda is shown in more detail and from an upper angle. Nyima smiles, tiny, in the foreground.
NYIMA: The upper level belongs to my mother, but the ground floor is for everyone! 3 panel comic in digital pencil and watercolor.
1 - Thulia reaches under their shirt collar. They have tired eyes and a kitty smile. Around them, text with musical notes says "worm eggs, worm eggs"
2 - Close up of Thulia pulling a cloth with small dark and light circles from their shirt collar. 
THULIA: Ta-da!
3 - The cloth is shown in more detail--it is semi transparent, folded multiple times, and contains many of these tiny circles, some dark, some light. These are silkworm eggs at various stages of incubation. Nyima looks on in profile (close up) from the right.
NYIMA: They're sort of... blue?
THULIA: That's the worms! 4 panel comic in digital pencil.
1 - Nyima sits in the grass, framed from the back and right, so that she sits at the left of the panel, face in profile. She is looking out onto the sky with no visible expression.
NYIMA: Mother says I should stop helping with the yartsa after this year.
2 - Two figures sit in the grass, the left figure (Thulia) hidden by a speech bubble. On the right, Nyima has her knees up, her arms folded across them, and her face hidden.
NYIMA: and focus on the silk and the silkworms
3 - Two figures sit in the grass, the right figure (Nyima) hidden by a speech bubble. Thulia sits on the right, knees bent and off to one side, focusing their attention on Nyima with sympathy.
THULIA: Is that what you want?
4 - Two handkerchiefs filled with squiggly worms. They are labeled "THULIA DAY 3" and "NYIMA DAY 3". Nyima has gathered significantly more than Thulia.

Hi #Portfolioday
I'm a comic's artist, here's some panels from "Le Secret de Présentine Ramondore"
Plan frontal sur une affiche au mur indiquant "Grande Fête annuelle du Solstice d'Automne". Le lettrage est ouvragé et à tendance gothique, les lettres sont bleues tandis que des points rouge ponctuent les lettres et les décorations. Au premier, des personnages de dos lisent l'affiche placardée sur un mur en bois. Cadrage sur 4 cases d'une bande dessinée, où deux personnages marchent sous le soleil fort dans unes montages. Le temps n'a pas l'air pour autant très chaud. les montages et le ciel sont bleus tandis que les deux personnages, un homme et une femme d'un âge certain, équipé d'une matériel prémoderne sont déclinés dans des teintes d'ocre. Une femme d'âge mûr, de dos, enlace de manière volontaire une homme de son âge qui a l'air davantage emprunté. Le fond est d'un jaune lumineux animé de quelques frondaisons. Les deux personnages baignent dans cette lumière jaune coupé d'une teinte grise. Les deux mêmes personnages marchent dans les montagnes, de face. Les personnages et le sol sont dans l'ombre. Celui-ci est composé de grosses roches impraticables. Derrière eux, un flanc de montagne frappé de lumière.

Hey y'all! I'm officially announcing my new Webcomic

Chicken Legs!
a young witch, Mariska Morevna, striking it out on her own trying to prove herself to her imposing family
chickenlegs.co

Launching OCT 31
comic cover with the title "Chicken Legs" at the top of the page imposed over the lower half of a very large chicken standing on a field. A young unimpressed girl stands at the chickens feet. She glares up at the camera. She's white with brown curly hair pulled back from her face in a messy ponytail and small pomp. She is wearing a dark purple dress with a light blue belt and white collared shirt underneath and holding a green potion in a round flask in her clinched fist.  She has wooden legs with large round knees and is wearing black boots with socks.

Oh my God. I genuinely just popped into this because I was excited to see a movie musical with the same director as Chicago was in theaters. I didn't expect to wind up crying because it was a deeply personal story about a trans woman just trying to survive. Please see it

This workshop will initiate with people from Mexico, Latin America and Europe to strengthen the ties of stop motion and collaboration and, in exchange, education will be provided for free for one Mexican / Latinamerican student for the first ten years also.

Guillermo del Toro, Netflix, and Gobelins have teamed to open a stop-motion studio in Paris. The endeavor shares a kindred spirit with Mexico's El Taller del Chucho, also co-founded by del Toro, and will honor stop-motion legend Mark Gustafson.

The number of times I've heard that what education is has to change because AI! When people say this to me now, I just say, "no." Usually they stop talking for ten seconds because no one is ever telling them no, and that's the whole problem
tedmccormick.bsky.social
The basic structure of so much commentary, some in the guise of academic study, reduces to:

(1) generative AI products are detrimental to the goals of education

(2) therefore, the goals of education must change.

Without the tacit axiom that AI has authority behind it, that just doesn’t follow.

I think what's impressive about TRON is that, visually, it's still so much more interesting than any of it's sequels. It's crazy that they tried update this digital world by making it as 'realistically rendered' as possible. It's a complete misunderstanding of the original's charm.

🌒 It's YDSP Wednesday 🌘

I want to take it slower, but I also want to share my darker work for October, so I think I'll continue weekly posting just for this month.

I can't explain what this piece is about yet, so you'll have to wait for the VN to come out.

#YDSP | #art | #VN | #OC
