The Correct Incantation

#webcomic #krita #miniFantasyTheater
A comic in four panels: Panel 1. The gothic sorceress, dressed in dark, flowing robes, stands in the middle of a desolated land. She gazes at the colorful mechanical parrot flying near her shoulder: the Avian Intelligent Parrot. The sorceress asks with a hint of curiosity. > Gothic sorceress: "Hey, Avian Intelligence, what's the incantation for summoning a fireball?" > AI Parrot: ":sparkle emoji: The correct incantation for a fireball is "IgnisMe"." Panel 2. The gothic sorceress cracks a wicked smile, her eyes shining with anticipation as she raises her hands in front of her, fingers spread and ready to cast. > Gothic sorceress: "Alright, let's give it a shot... IgnisMe!" Panel 2(small insert in previous panel). Only the eyes of the gothic sorceress are visible in a large flame. > Gothic sorceress: "?!!" Panel 3. The gothic sorceress is burnt, her face contorted in a mix of shock, anger, and pain. Flames and smoke dance around her, her dark robes burnt and tattered, revealing exposed parts of her anatomy. > Gothic sorceress: "You #*$%@& bird! You gave me a self-immolation spell instead of a fireball spell!" Panel 4. As the sorceress facepalms, the Avian Intelligent parrot replies with stoicism. > AI Parrot: ":sparkle emoji: You're absolutely right! The correct incantation for a fireball is "PyroBolus"."

(As a dog owner myself) The worst kind of dog owner is the kind that doesn't pick up after their dog. The second worst kind does pick it up, but then leaves the bag there. Like, why??? You've already done the hard part! Just carry it to the nearest trashcan!

On November 17th last year I sold my first enamel pin badge at canopyrobin.etsy.com in an attempt to create a new stream of income that might eventually cover the expenses of trans healthcare instead of perpetual GoFundMes 🏳️‍⚧️

As we approach the anniversary, I'm going to celebrate one design each day
A grid of 16 enamel pins, stickers, and patches with queer, nature, and #SciArt themes. In order they are a rainbow tree, circular black pronoun pins, circular pride pins that say "It's dr actually", game changer pride stickers, rectangular pins that say "ask me about allyship", game changer pride pins, colour changing rectangular pronoun pins, rectangular pins that say "real allies take action", a rainbow frog, a miniature guidebook to trees, game changer fabric patches, a trans flag sticker, flowers in different pride colours, a trans fern, a colour change rainbow flower, and the gay man and lesbian pride flags with trans inclusive chevrons

Alright. Fine. I did what I promised. I made graphics. But I did sign one of them in MS Paint. I have a brand.

SO thrilled to be a WriteHive mentor for another year! Yes, you're counting right - I'm a part of 2 mentorship programs this year! Double the fun, y'all!

My MSWL is, as ever, very loose. This is so that you don't self-reject, and so that you don't pigeon-hole yourself into not applying. Just do it!
