new pinned post! 🎃💜I'm Kay!

I currently draw a webcomic, Liege Doomveil, about a cartoonish villain looking for the power of love, by dating!
💀 liegedoomveil.thecomicseries.com
I also draw a ton of unsorted characters, and have a patreon!
💸 patreon.com/kayzig

Alkamilla, Ominous, and a few soldiers are waiting in a secret headquarters.
OMINOUS: ...aaaany moment...NOW! ...now?
ALKAMILLA: You've been saying that for 20 minutes.

Liege slams open a door to make his entrance, startling Ominous.
LIEGE: Another COMPLETE disaster. We're going HOME
OMINOUS: HAH! (quietly) I mean.

Alkamilla and Ominous both turn to regard Liege.
ALKAMILLA: Did she no-show?
OMINOUS: Was it Crimsonheart?! I sensed a battle!
ALKAMILLA: Ya threaten to fillet a server for suggesting WHITE wine?

Liege angrily stalks into the room as Alkamilla looks at him skeptically.
LIEGE: I was a PERFECT GENTLEMAN! I got her CHAIR, I avoided POLITICS, I did NOT kill anyone!
ALKAMILLA: Okay, start from the beginning. What do YOU think the disaster was?

We change scene to earlier: a woman who we've seen before in The Evertides sits at a table with Liege, in an outdoor garden-like environment.
NARRATION TEXT: A fateful meeting in the capital of Argent
WOMAN: But really, ONLY knives?

Liege stands in front of a stylized backdrop of The Realm's strange multiple moons, holding Harbinger, his pet murk worm. Harbinger seems very happy, and is excessively drooling.

A hobgoblin with gold and purple eyes, grinning, with their hair tied back into a high ponytail with a very tassled hairtie

A Drow, with vividly yellow eyes and pale purple skin, is dressed in a fancy black and purple waistcoat, a neck scarf fixed with a raven skull pin, long gloves and ankle boots with tall heels. Their hair is a bit wild and has a heavy amount of volume and lift up top, but is also pinned back into a long, thick ponytail. Posed in the left, full-body, they wave casually, and on the right in a more close-up shot, though they are smiling, there's a sharpness to the stare.

Just your friend Xante, who is definitely a wizard (and has a +15 intimidation modifier if you want to say anything otherwise)! #art #OCs

A bust illustration of a Drow, with vividly yellow eyes hidden behind violet glasses and pale purple skin, is dressed in a fancy black and purple waistcoat and a neck scarf fixed with a raven skull pin. Their hair is a bit wild and has a heavy amount of volume and lift up top, and many earrings line their long and somewhat alien/bug-like ear tips, and though they are smiling, there's a sharpness to their stare.

On this week's #webcomic update, I think we should all just go home, we're not topping this.
liegedoomveil.thecomicseries.com

A spear-toting guard of Pollendara is suddenly scooped up by Vilgorr.
GUARD: B'wha! HEY!

Vilgorr chucks the Guard, spear and all.

The guard clips the target awkwardly, but the spear lodges into the bullseye, disrupting some of the other arrows.

Helios looks annoyed by this, while Birch and Index look uncomfortable. Liege is lifting his eyebrows in consideration.
HELIOS: That isn't ARCHERY.
LIEGE: Perhaps not, however...

Queen Magnolia has one brow furrowed and one arched, and seems to be finishing the same thought as Liege, while Hazel looks confounded.
MAGNOLIA: I AM slightly impressed.

it is always like this on nights where my day was spent feeling sluggish and unable to type or hold my stylus. I get to work and am unable to coherently do tasks because I'm thinking about the Outfit I Want To Draw Them In

fiction is a safe space to think of unsafe things

if you feel it's messing you up, step away. don't assume it's messing everyone up and you need to eradicate it because you caught a case of the feel-bads from something. go sit with that and think about why instead of pissing in everyone else's cheerios.

I also need to get a warmer blanket once winter is in full swing, I am struggling rn and it doesn't even seem THAT cold!

I need to try and get through a read of the first 2 chapters together, because I am That Guy who forgets everything. I laugh through a tumblr post, go to like it, and already have liked it ages ago. Every couple of weeks I relearn SOMETHING.

Kay King @kayzig.bsky.social · 2d

I'm almost halfway through Chapter 4 of my comic...I reread the first 20 pages or so the other day to see how I felt about it and, I'm still pretty happy with it.

if only there was some kind of metaphor for being assimilated by a cold unfeeling machine that wants to create content devoid of human touch or sentiment

VGEN service: Stained Glass Illustrations!

Starting at $200USD, this is a very experimental commission type with a lot of feedback! Definitely interested in making pretty things for people's D&D characters! :D ✨🏬

A screenshot from vgen showing a commission option for a stained glass illustration. To the left are two examples of such a commission, the first is a blue stained glass image with an angel holding a mans face while the second is a red and black image of two men posing with their respective combat styles.

rambled a lot today but a reminder: I did a special bonus update!

Kay King @kayzig.bsky.social · 3d

Liege Doomveil is getting a rare bonus #webcomic update! We'll be back again Saturday!

All the competitors stand ready, reaching for an arrow. The view chiefly shows Liege, Helios glaring at him, and Index looking smug. Birch is partially visible but Vilgorr is absent from the frame.
ANNOUNCER: On your ready - aim...! ...and shoot!

Liege's arrow snags a nearly-perfect bullseye, with a down-ward pointing shaft. Helios's ais SLIGHTLY off-mark from a bullseye, but in the inner circles. Birch's arrow is at less of an angle but likewise to Liege's, a bullseye with a little wiggle-room for error. Index's arrow connects perfectly perpendicular to the bullseye's surface, and in the dead center - like its bow, it seems to be molded or carved from a nearly pure-white substance.

have no desire to be a physical performer or be perceived but have definitely thought about how if I did, having a Drag King persona that is just named (and themed) Prince Seth would be fun.

Kay King @kayzig.bsky.social · 3d

I like being at a point where my gender dysphoria is only a physical Me thing and I don't find myself hating princess characters anymore, and want to go and find more weird princesses like Bubblegum and Guinevere and just, Enjoy that.

I authentically love the way Chris Fleming and Griffin McElroy put together words and sentences in ways I sometimes never expect, I want to hear them have a conversation or something.

I feel like the vaccine from Saturday is having a second wind after my work shift, yesterday - I got SUPER sweaty, and feel like I need another 3 hours of sleep, right now...gonna coffee up and try to power through today and see where I am, tomorrow afternoon.

the ADHD almost IMMEDIATELY won today in the form of losing my phone into the folded blankets/pillows of making my bed up

Kay King @kayzig.bsky.social · 3d

your first playthrough of a Silent Hill game you should be enjoying the run and your only chance to be surprised by the majority of the biggest twists going on in the story. Second and third playthroughs you know everything a bit more, and a guide on how to get other endings won't spoil stuff.

Kay King @kayzig.bsky.social · 3d

okay so: I had misunderstood the spoiler that I got about the ending and it turns out that I still got MOSTLY surprised by the first 'default' ending and liked it. I think that is also technically VERY SMART as a game design, and doesn't feel like TOO MUCH of a "trick" if that makes sense...?
