Deneb.
'Deneb', the tall (5'10"/177cm) potion witch, taking a casual stance. Clad in her skimpy outfit of a hooded capelet, detached sleeves, bikini top, long hip-tied skirt and knee-high boots, she teases idly with a curious look and a tug at her top. A quick doodle of Deneb in purple tones, dressed in her showy potion-making costume, with a bottle of solution in her right hand, and taste-testing with her left finger. With a "Hmmm..." she ponders what she'll need next. Another quick doodle of Deneb, in violet. She cooly puffs out smoke, as she holds her cigarette filter and leans over -- as if to look closer at something that's caught her eye.

Forgot to post this. Fixed the old elf to match the new elf for fun. Ears have been significantly upgraded.

Pixel art of an elf in purple. One arm is armored and they carry a tiny bow on their back. They have very, very big ears.

Some advice from a couple of years ago that I still think most creative people need to hear --
Don't put down your own work. Plenty of people want to devalue you and the things you Make. Don't help them do it.

Valkyrie Profile 2: Silmeria (2006) for PlayStation 2 by Square Enix. Art by Yoh Yoshinari.
Dark fantasy artwork: A cloaked figure kneels on crumbling stone steps before a towering, ruined fortress wall. Behind them, a stern green-haired warrior in rugged leather armor grips a massive sword, while a ghostly armored knight with flowing black hair looms menacingly in the stormy sky, surrounded by swirling crows. Moody, painterly style with muted greens, grays, and dramatic lighting. Four fantasy characters in a torch-lit stone hall: a heavily armored knight with a large sword stands in the foreground left, a robed mage with glasses casts purple magic in the foreground right, a blonde female archer in ornate armor aims her bow from above center, and a green-cloaked warrior with a red headband leaps with bow drawn from the upper right. Painterly style, muted colors, dramatic lighting from wall torches.

Marie wearing the #フロリダビキニ !
wanted to join in on this for the longest time; happy to finally get around to it
#zazART #zazOC
My oc Marie wearing the popular "Florida-chan bikini", a two piece bikini with the top is two pieces of cloth per cup held together by a U-shape metal hook. Her toned abdomen and arms are exposed, as well as her cleavage. Marie is wearing an assortment of wooden and metal bracelets and necklaces, gold-colored earrings, red-tinted sunglasses, athletic sweatpants, sandals, a small blue bag strapped over her shoulder and a bucket hat. She is sitting in front of a bay area with a bit of her city in the distance and bridge for the local transit. She is giving a smile to the viewer. Her skin/body is rendered as though she has applied body oil or lotion.

I cosign every single word of this

I do understand: you want permission. There’s a machine in the corner wrapped in human skin that makes things out of shit and blood to look like whatever you want (as long as you don’t look too closely). You gave one to your teacher and they didn’t notice. Your boss told you to use it after they laid off half the team and it was fine. You fed one to your kids and they liked it. You want to know you can use it sometimes without me thinking less of you. You don’t need me to believe it’s useful, you just want me to be polite about it. But I am a hater, and I will not be polite. The machine is disgusting and we should break it. The people who build it are vapid shit-eating cannibals glorifying ignorance. I strongly feel that this is an insult to life itself.

Alisia Dragoon (1991) by Game Arts for Sega Mega Drive. Promotional art for BEEP! MegaDrive by Yukiyuki Haniike.
A vibrant anime-style magazine advertisement for Alisia Dragoon, featuring a dynamic illustration against a cloudy sky background with lightning. At the center, a fierce blue dragon with outstretched wings hovers, its scales detailed in blue and green. In front of the dragon stands a heroic figure in a blue and white armored outfit, wielding a glowing sword with a magical blue aura. To the right, a striking red-haired woman with long, flowing hair adorned with a headband, dressed in a flowing white gown, gazes forward with a serene expression. The scene includes Japanese text blocks detailing game features, credits for Yukiyuki Haniike (illustration) and Mariko Uemura (visual supervision), and a Game Arts address footer, capturing the fantasy theme of the 1992 Game Arts Mega Drive game.

Not the best Sunday, but Tilde & Marigold make it better.
Just look at them!
TILDE + MARIGOLD <3 A picture of Tilde (left), a sweet-looking flower-seller and the witch Marigold, singing her praises. Sketched in full color, Tilde is brown-skinned with a flower & clover in her afro, wearing a tabard, shorts and sandals. Marigold is a head & a half taller in dark violet cross-ties made into a dress, along with a shawl and even more flower hair-decorations. A sweet pair for a Sunday evening!

Ex-Ranza (1993) by NEX and Sega. Art by Yuji Kaida.
Japanese Mega Drive box art for the game EX-RANZA (known as Ranger-X in the West). The illustration features a large, detailed, blue and gray transforming mecha standing dynamically against a cloudy blue sky. The mecha is holding a large rifle and has multiple wings and angular armor plating. Another smaller, darker flying craft is visible in the background, along with a landing platform. The title EX-RANZA is prominently displayed in large yellow and red letters at the top. The overall style is classic 1990s Japanese mecha illustration.

Some stranger spat on my pinned comms promo; to wit "any hack with a computer can re-slop your stuff for free, it's not worth $50 to $100."

It's worth it to *someone.* A good few folks. The offer stands. I'm not here to debate tech-fetish pigs. I draw to pay bills for now. This ain't a game.

At risk of flogging a dead horse: this whole letter is a reminder that the creative process is an end in and of itself, and vital to self-actualisation. You can’t experience BECOMING, as he puts it, by outsourcing it to ChatGPT.

In 2006 a high school English teacher asked students to write to a famous author & ask for advice.

KURT VONNEGUT - born 103yrs ago today - was the only one to respond.

His reply was a doozy.

Some of the best advice I ever heard was from @silviamg.bsky.social who said that you shouldn't set goals that require other people to do what you want. You can write a book. That's a goal. You can't control whether anyone buys it. Other people have free will.

#COMMISSION ROUNDUP!
A selection of color and monochrome comms for
@xibi.bsky.social , JRWang and @macster.bsky.social !
(The list is still open ~ check my pinned post for details!)
09/24/2025 XIBI A monochromatic-turned-full color commission of "Xibi", an OC of @xibi.bsky.social. A cute, ornate & casual white & blue outfit on a plus-sized catgirl with white hair & fur and glasses. She cheerily offers a controller for playing video games -- perfect frame traps await! 10/24/2025 DOPAMINE A monochromatic aqua-colored commission of "Dopamine" for JR Wang. She's a mystic looking gambler girl in a short dress w/ sheer sleeves and lots of jewelry, leaning on a digital slot machine with a skull leering on. She flips a coin, and looks curious with $-marked eyes... 10/22/2025 ANNETTE A monochromatic orange-and-cream colored commission of "Annette" for @macster.bsky.social. A sexy and shapely mouse OC dressed in a racy, sporty micro skirt and bikini top, taking off her jacket. She shows off plenty of curves and extra details from her gauged mouse ears, to her star tattoo on her rump. One of many spicy requests of this OC!

Ya'll don't give indie comic creators enough credit.

Do you know how much effort it takes to illustrate a single picture?

Apply that several times over to one comic page.

Now apply that to one person drawing all the comic pages.

Yeah. It's a lot of work.
