Chapter 15 of the "I don't mind." comic!! :D

A little weekend encounter between two shy people 🙃

A digital comic of a woman (Lily) humming and reading while sitting at the base of a tree. She's sitting on a blanket and has her shoes off, on which her bag rests. There are trees in the distance, flowers on the ground, and a cat peeking its head out from the top of the front tree

Top right caption: "Ch.15 P.1"

Lily has dozed off (indicated by a twirling 'Snoooooooooze...' that gets smaller), and is into the frame walks a femme person (Kiana), who is wearing little mushroom earrings and is carrying a hand bag. She notices Lily with an 'Oh?'

The cat has moved to a tree in the background

Top right caption: "Ch.15 P.2"

Kiana put down her bag, resting it up against Lily's shoes, and picked a flower. She's crouched in front of Lily, grinning and saying "Watcha doing here, sleepyhead?" as she goes to put the flower in Lily's hair

The cat's tail wiggles with a 'mrp' from behind a tree root

Top right caption: "Ch.15 P.3"

Lily wakes up from this, and looks up to Kiana who starts blushing, matched by Lily blushing. The flower is now behind Lily's ear and is holding her hair back

Kiana goes "Oops... Um... Good morning..." as she progressively gets quieter

The cat is gnawing on a flower stem, next to which is the broken stem of the one that was picked by Kiana

Top right caption: "Ch.15 P.4"

She's wearing mushroom earrings, then picks a flower to put into the sleeping Lily's hair 🙃 But that's a very fun interpretation of it, they could totally match haha :D

I'm glad you enjoyed it!! :D

Ember @emberssbm.bsky.social · 12h

Lollll, you'll definitely see more of these two but it'll be scattered between and throughout future chapters rather than back-to-back like these last two chapters 🙃

Thank you for the art share, and thank you @emberssbm.bsky.social for the tag!

I'm grateful for my friends and wife, who are there for me and encourage me to do the things I enjoy, all the artists who make beautiful art including the pieces on my walls, my job and home, and people who care.

Hanging Out, Aug 2025

Pen sketch of a small dragon hanging over the circular opening of a round terrarium with a few plants inside, including a small, bare tree in the center with branches reaching out of the top of the terrarium, and leafy plants behind the dragon on either end. The dragon has textured scales, some of which are feather-like, curling tall horns like on antelope, and a brush-like tail. The parts behind the glass are slightly out of focus and blurred.

Nebula- Starling Magic

The second entry in my series based on my magic Birds in the world building for my fantasy setting. Starlings combine the balancing magic of Celestial magic with Sky and Illusion magic. Nebula magic is the magic of the freedom of uncertainty, of the true obscuration of the future despite people's deep desire to know it thoroughly, and the joy of mimicry. While many Birds with Celestial magic predict the future with a degree of accuracy, if not precision, Starlings offer visions that may not be true. Sky magic is blue, Illusion magic is turquoise, and Celestial magic is purple. Green is used to indicate the fey nature of this Bird, since Illusion magic is one that belongs to get beings.

Description:

Colored gel pen illustration of a stylized starling facing left against a dark and saturated background of black, purple, pink, green, and teal in a vague nebula. The bird is mostly shaded in dark purple, blue, turquoise, and light green.

Bisexual Ground Beetle, Apr 2022

A digital piece of a color altered photorealistic ground beetle in the bisexual flag colors against a blurred mottled background of the bisexual colors. The head, thorax, and visible part of the abdomen are pink with color lightening applied to give the bug its shiny appearance. The eyes, antennae, and legs are purple and darker and richer than the purple of the bisexual flag. The wing casing is blue and deepened in tone on the outer edges and lighter in the center, with extra light bits for the shiny appearance. The bug is facing up to the right.

Ripples- Duck Magic

The first entry in my series based on my magic Birds in the world building for my fantasy setting. Ducks combine the magic of Water, Flowers, and the Wild Hunt of the fey into Ripple magic, a magic of abundance, of the gradual effects of actions taken by oneself or by others, and of the power to be found in embracing change instead of fighting it. Water magic is teal colored, Floral magic is pink, and Hunt magic is green.

Description:

Colored gel pen illustration of a duck with dark teal green feathers that are mottled with light and dark green on the head, light green and blue with dark green on the neck and bottom of the body under the wings, which are in shades of pink and a few spots of yellow. The top of the body has pink and yellow among the other colors, and the breast has pink, blue, and dark green. The beak is orange/pink. The duck sits on a pond with pink, blue, teal, and green ripples radiating out from it.

@queenraccoon85.bsky.social drawing my sons got me into the mood to draw her friends! After just going off watching the game show video (which you should absolutely check out) I drew my rend of @ogerponfan.bsky.social and @emberssbm.bsky.social which I hope they enjoy!

Hi, I hope you are all doing well!!

I’ve had a busy day and am feeling a little down (nothing bad though😊) and am not sure I’ll get my OC-tober art out today. I’m sorry but if I don’t, I’ll try for 2 tomorrow!

For now, here’s a drawing of my OC, Wren-Ara! 🌸

#oc #art #traditionalart #ink

An ink drawing I made of my OC, Wren-Ara! It’s in black, white, and shades of gray. Wren-Ara has shoulder length light wavy hair and bangs, and a flower in poor shape on her hair. She wears a dark shawl with light lining with a flower pattern on it. She has a gray dress with frill on the top and some lines. She looks away with a concerned expression.

Family portrait doodle!

Guess the family dynamic: who’s the sister? How many humans do you think are in this portrait?

I’ll come back to this when I wake up and for the first person to guess it correctly, I’ll draw anything they request with up to 3 characters :3

A roughly drawn portrait containing two people and one catlike creature. In front, there is a person that looks like a bear with a fur pattern vaguely resembling a human skeleton and bright green eyes. On their head, there is a mostly white cat with aggressively blue eyes and a wide smile. Behind them is an androgynous human with pale, greyish skin, white hair, blue lipstick and grey eyes. Their hair is done up in two pigtails and they wear something that is both crown and hat. It has many snakelike protrusions with bright cyan eyes. They wear a black shirt with a snowflake collar

Happy birthday, Andi, and thank you for the artshare! I really like your Art Nouveau piece! 🤩
Also a big thanks to @zoethetsitsa.bsky.social for tagging me🙏💜

I'll share some of my #inktober pieces, and a digital!

A monstrous sandwich skewered by a spear, topped with a skull. An arm sticks out from the sandwich's mouth, right next to its tongue.

A starfish perches atop a running showerhead with a knife in hand, ready to attack.

A human heart lays in the basket of scales, weighed against a black feather.

Underspace Vacation - Two astronauts float above a deep dark chasm underwater. They reach out to each other in a beam of light, as the dark seafloor stretches towards them.
