Birdee Blake @birdeeblake.bsky.social · Oct 13

I'm Birdee, a disabled amateur comic artist, working on The Magical Freelancer's Guild, a queer historical-fantasy! I post a lot about disability, other comics, and politics.

Follow @magicfreelance.bsky.social for just MFG posts, and linktr.ee/BirdeeBlake for all the places to read the comic!

🔥🐦!

The 2023 main cover of The Magical Freelancer's Guild. The main cast of Monty, Luca, Lana and Zendaya stand on the stone balcony of their guild hall, looking down at what appears tobe a fire below. Lana, Monty and Zen all look somewhat relaxed, while Luca looks startled.

A digital painting of a group of people dressed in Edwardian-inspired fantasy party clothes. They are standing around a table laden with various Autumn foods. Both the characters and the feast are lit by the glow of two red candles on the table.

Chapter 4, Page 4 of digital comic The Magical Freelancer's Guild. Monty, a man with long hair tied back in a ponytail, wearing a green and brown vest, rearranges some books on a shelf while talking to a person with chin-length brown hair and several bandages on their face.

"Hey, Bert-- I heard you can tell a lot about someone by how they use Magic. For instance, you cast by reading aloud from a book, but you insist on translating it into Latin first."

Snickering, Monty adds: "Does it not work if you're any less stuck-up?"

The other character jumps up out of their seat, fuming. "Why you assho--"

And is cut off by the return of a third character.

Chapter 3, page 14 of The Magical Freelancer’s Guild. The panels at the top and bottom appear to be burning away to reveal the sepia-toned flashback panel in the middle.

Last week, one of my students said that she was compelled by law to draw pretty girls and she calls that “Yuri Duty” and the kids are all right.

My therapist has to remind me constantly that just because I'm anxious something may happen doesn't necessarily mean it will.

How to Spot SORA AI Videos with Removed Watermarks.

That popular Video of a Possum being scared while eating Halloween candy, AI. That one has an extra tell, the time stamp numbers in the upper corner, are fucky wucky.

That is how I started to notice the edited out Watermark that is included.

A sketch in blue, a man pictured from the knees up leans with a hand and head against a wall, he has elf ears and long hair that half curtains his face with wears an expression of pleasure, his pants around his thighs, his chest bare. A woman kneels in front of him her shirt around her waist, she grips the man's pants and underclothes, his penis fully in her mouth, kiss marks around his pelvis, his free hand grips her hair, her makeup smudged
