A long form comic of a fight scene from my comic Blue A U universe, a Steven Universe fancomic.
1: Carnelian, a fusion of Jasper and Spinel from Steven Universe, is punched by Garnet, sending her flying.
2: Carnelian smashes into the Crystal temple wall.
3: Garnet notices something, looking down.
4: Carnelians 3rd hand has been clenched on Garnets ankle.
5: Garnet is yanked off her feet towards Carnelian.
6: Rainbow Quartz: Garnet!!
7: panel of the crevice Carnelian was punched into.
8: Close up of Carnelian smiling.

Cover work for Tidal Wave Games "The Cybernetics Catalogue" TTRPG 2024
A digital drawing of a nonbinary character, with purple dyed hair shaved on both sides, but long in the middle, and a light shining from their eyes, where their purple should be.
They are showing off their mechanical arms, holding one over the other in front of them. their arms are covered in stickers, showcasing various queer symbols and rebellious phrases. they are in a mid drift binder or shirt, with a short-sleeved red jacket, purple jeans, and a bag attached to their belt. The background is the trans flag colors pixilated around them.

A page from a test comic, where twp characters are summoning something in a graveyard at night.
1: Blue haired girl: Take this blood offering, and rise!
2: green haired boy ducks behind his magic book as the cauldren glows.
3: full page showing the whole scheme as the smoke billows out of the cauldron, and the wind moves it in circles around the gravestones.

Cover work for Tidal Wave Games for the Heartbeat Highschool 2025 TTRPG. The cover shows the 3 main OC's. The one closest is
Dani has long orange hair and is wearing a green top that's tied in the front, paired with cutoff jean shorts. She is reaching back with her right hand, like she's leading the viewer to school. She's giving a big smile to the viewer. The second closest is Sam, who is short with freckles and brown hair. They are wearing a sporty sweatband, jacket, and carrying a sports bag. they are turned to the left to facr the viewer, holding up their right hand in a fist while giving a big smile. The furthest away is Mark, he has a dirty blond mullet with big headphones, ripped jeans, and a flannel jacket. Mark is facing to the right, but is glancing towards the viewer looking unimpressed.
The background is a sunny day in front of the school building, with a slight heart motif, as the school clock tower has a heart in the middle, and a cupid on top.

Getting distracted while doing other things, bane of my existence lol 🎨

A doodle of the artist in a chibi or simplified cartoon style. The artist is disheveled looking in a short sleeved hoodie with a long shirt underneath and shorts in socks. The character is facing to the left while looking up slightly with a concerned and confused look on his face. The character has his right hand up in a confused pose. The best next the artist says " I forgot what I was doing..."

Reality sucks, I want video game rules 😤

This comic is public on Patreon with some additional commentary: www.patreon.com/posts/dirt-b...

#comicoop #comics

A two panel comic in which apricot, their dad, and their sister (who has a baby on her back) are all hiking up a hill on a clear day. In panel one, the sister says "The race track is different this year to avoid all the windmill construction (so they gotta go around it.)
In the next panel, apricot looks disappointed and bitter as they look down and note, "...In a video game you'd get to ride THROUGH the construction sites..."

Another great piece of my Pulp #CallOfCthulhu campaign's BBEG! Thank you @demondionysus.bsky.social <3

Turns out the secret to a good villain is to make someone that your players and friends end up crushing on, despite (or because of?) them being evil 🤔

Gift for the awesome @ketpia.bsky.social of his character Clara from his #CoC game! 🎨

A digital painting of a woman with a brown Bob hairstyle that has been curled. She is smiling facing slightly to the left with her head tilted up slightly, and looking at the viewer. She is wearing some kind of white fur coat or boa that is covering her shoulders and neck. The background is a red wallpaper with an ornate pattern that looks almost like an eye. The picture is in a light gold frame that is engraved with a swirling pattern all around it.

Today is @ketpia.bsky.social's birthday, so it's time to reshare this long storytime thread about how we ended up together.

Unrelated, he's been making an effort to be more socially active in his areas of interest (TTRPG, writing, horror etc) so maybe give him a birthday follow! 🥳

It's my 14th anniversary with @ketpia.bsky.social ! 😮 I'd say it feels like just yesterday that we met in uni and then learned we'd gone to the same elementary school, but it actually does feel like a lifetime ago lol 🫣

I haven't finished my first puppet just yet, but he's almost done, will share pics once he's ready 😌

☆Dyo the art cryptid☆ @demondionysus.bsky.social · 12d

In hindsight, me becoming a guy who makes comics and crafts puppets for fun makes a lot of sense.

Trump threatens to shut down US government unless all trans health care is banned

The US government's looming shutdown hinges on anti-trans measures after Donald Trump refused to speak to Democrats unless they were passed.

We got Maya to draw this picture because drawing beautiful women still makes me so shy that I always just clear the canvas and walk away. Maya is my opposite in this area.

Look at how wonderful our villain, Clara, looks! We like to spoil our Call of Cthulhu players sometimes with amazing guest art.

I finally get to share this! I was blessed with drawing a big character for @areyoshi.bsky.social and @ketpia.bsky.social's CoC campaign 🥰

Congratulations!
I technically lean a little more anime inspired, but I have a pretty flexible style, and I'm always looking for opportunities 😁
