Hello, #PortfolioDay !

My name's Dave, and I'm a writer, illustrator, and freelance indie game artist and graphic designer!

My personal project is Azure Claw Comics, supported by Patreon!

Digitally colored pencil art of a young woman with pigtails and glasses and a big fluffy off-the-shoulder sweater. She also has a handgun. She's crouched behind a stone half-wall and reloading her gun. Digitally colored ink drawing of a young woman with blue lobster parts stepping into a flooded ruin of some alien facility. The hazy blue sky shines in behind her, giving a backlight to the whole image. A hybrid of pencil sketch and digital painting, showing two teenage girls sitting down in a corner, hiding inside a cargo container. The one on the left has short hair and a hoodie, and she's holding hands with a girl who has long blue hair and the features of a blue lobster. A digitally colored pencil drawing of a young blue lobster woman crying on the shoulder of a young woman with pigtails and glasses. She's got her arms around her friend, comforting her.

A lil' #pixelart portrait of Azzura Silverstar for my friend @ignatiuspants.bsky.social, creator of Azure Claw Comics! I've always been a fan and loved her design.

Meet the #originalcharacters of Azure Claw Comics and behold this nifty #illustration #art!

From left to right, we have:

Meredith Black, the swordfighting librarian!

Azzura Silverstar, the orphaned lobster girl who packs a mean pinch!

Quinn Travers, a badass genderqueer computer programmer!
Ink drawing with digital coloring added, depicting three figures standing dramatically against a bold yellow and orange sunset. One, a woman with pigtails and glasses who is holding a sword. Another, a woman with blue hair and blue lobster antennae and claws. The third, a person of unspecified gender with black hair longer in the front than in the back, holding a shotgun.

Check out this track I did for Moonshell Island!

Day 34: 2025/08/15 - 7h

Polished the lights and added ambient darkness. This creates an evening effect outdoors, which goes well with @queergermangirl.bsky.social's 'Night Breeze' track! Ignore the bright interior windows for now...

Oh, hello! I didn't see you there!

Um... you probably expect some art or something, right? Some art on this Bluesky page?

I'll try to have some more for you in the days ahead!

Please excuse the mess!
Digitally colored pencil sketch of a startled Dave at a drawing desk, looking wide-eyed at the "camera", sitting in a dilapidated office chair rather than a seat more suitable for a drafting table, but whatever. Some papers are about to fall off of the desk in Dave's sudden panic.

If you're gonna cling to your dreams, you better hold on tight!

It's a wild ride, but you never know what you'll discover along the way. Just... don't look down.

Crabby clings to a very tall beanstalk as it grows past the clouds, revealing floating islets below which have been hidden from the surface. Both the hermit crab's face and mug shell express the same sentiment: Make it stop!

Burnout caught up with me real bad today.

Gonna need more time than I thought to restore my dream power and get back to building #Moonshell_Island in real time.

I'll continue sharing my previous progress though! Connecting with you all more really helps. 🦀💜

Happy whatever today and/or tomorrow is!
An image reading "Happy Friday the 13th!!", except the "Friday the 13th!!" has been crossed out and replaced with "Valentine's Day". At the bottom, it says, "From: Azure Claw Comics". In the middle, there's a detailed illustration of two teenage girls relaxing together. A girl with short brown hair is sitting in what appears to ve a dirty floor of a storage crate. A girl with blue hair and lobster features has her head in the brown-haired girl's lap. They are holding hands.

Another beautiful pixel art from Crabby Sam's portfolio of greatness!

What creature is Crabby, playing as Sam, going to use to catch the wild Crabby?

Check out my upgraded Crabby Color~ Like me, it only plays games that don't exist yet.

I need some more of my own #art around here -- so here's a traditionally inked portrait of Azzura which I made for a website banner a few years ago.

POV: You're a soldier for the alien army who just threatened one of Azzura's friends.

A frog in a hero's cape and Crabby the hermit in a mug shell enjoy the water as they sit on a lily pad in a pond scattered with umbrella-shaped trees that produce rain under them. The sky is sunny with a few small clouds.

I carry so much internalized shame and guilt from not understanding why I couldn’t do anything right as a kid.

(Not only an ADHD thing, but a common experience with it.)

Prints / Comic archive adhd-alien.com

Patreon patreon.com/adhd_alien/
Panel 1: A young ADHD Alien character looks up at a pointing adult hand, holding her chest. Text reads: “I’ve always felt different. Instead of being understood, I got dismissed and criticized.” Below: “So I made sense of it the only way I could: ‘There must be something wrong with me.’” Panel 2: The character talks to another person, smiling nervously. Text: “So I’ve spent my whole life hiding my true self (not that I even know who my true self is), showing only what I thought was an acceptable amount of myself.” Panel 3: A calm, wise character speaks gently. Caption: “But a very wise person recently told me:” Speech bubbles say: “Healthy adults accept each other when they first meet,” “and set boundaries when given reason,” “so you don’t start off by having to prove yourself.” Panel 4: Final scene shows the character smiling brightly, holding hands with others in a glowing, rainbow-like light. Text reads: “I deserve to have witnesses to my full life who see, understand and love me. Not because I’m so special, but because everyone deserves that, just by existing.”
