Hello new followers!! Welcome! I’m Sae, a nonbinary comic artist based in Colorado. I love D&D and animation! I also make a webcomic, Anacrine Complex, which can be found at pigeoncomic.com
#webcomics #doodlesonly
A character model sheet for a teal-skinned tiefling named Cognition. He’s dressed in Edwardian-reminiscent clothing, has great round spectacles perched on his nose, and has a silky cat’s tail the same color as his long dark hair. His horns have subtle copper swirls and he bears freckles of the same color. He also wears a buckskin apron and his gauntlets house many glass vials for field samples. Panel 1: rendered in grayscale. A young Korean boy in a puffy jacket and oversized shorts. He wears a white beanie and a soft smile. Panel 2: the puffy jacket opens: it was actually a set of twisting octopus tentacles sprouting from his back. The boy does not seem so happy anymore; he’s sad and nervous. Wren and Dani from the webcomic Anacrine Complex sit on a large teal bean bag playing competitively with their “gamekid” consoles. They both wear white clothing. A dark-haired woman (Veda from the webcomic Anacrine Complex) dives to the ground for shelter from a dangerous yellow electrical arc. The electricity originates from the silhouette of an angry man in the background. He wears a lab coat. “I said STOP!” He shouts.

A truly great idea. 10,000 ethical assets freely available.

There’s no excuse for resorting to so-called AI with this and the *many* other assets you can use without resorting to laundered plagiarism.

Support real artists, not con artists.

It arrived! I now own a compiled book of Punch issues from 1919. Those illustrations are full of so much charm
A worn red hardcover book. On it is the gold-leafed figure of a little jester with a hooked nose. I believe this is Punch, of Punch and Judy fame. An ink illustration of a man holding aloft a hammer and lightning bolts, which are labeled “strike”. The man’s belt is labeled “labour”. Below him is an angelic woman wearing a headpiece labeled “peace”. The page is titled “Punch Vol. CLVII”. An illustration of a disgruntled man in a top hat and tailcoat, holding a golf caddy bag by a loose golf club, similarly to how one would hold an umbrella. Text: “Must have brought away the wrong umbrella.” A cropped image of an ink drawing. A tall woman with short hair accompanies a little girl on a lawn. They appear to be in the middle of a game of croquet. What stood out to me about this image is the girl’s haircut: it looks like something you might see in the 60’s, decades after this page was printed.

Our feature artist/tutorial today is this great page on FORESHORTENING ARMS AND HANDS, by the talented @miyuliart! Always keep in mind that the MID POINT of an object ALWAYS SHIFTS BACK when foreshortened - meaning we see FAR MORE of the volumes CLOSEST to us! #anime #manga

Remember, when you order something from Amazon, Jeff Bezos won't even notice the difference in his bank account. When you order something from an artist, you're helping them buy more art supplies, pay living expenses, or maybe even get a little treat.

hey pals! I've had some people ask for my comics page progress spreadsheet and I've been meaning to streamline it a bit to make it a little easier to customize. Finally did. I've put it up on Ko-fi as a Pay What You Want, if you want to take it for a spin. Let me know if you have feedback/issues!

One of my favorite things is getting to tell friends who are new to NYC that the subway "stand clear of the closing doors please" voice is a trans woman named Bernie Wagenblast and she's amazing.

I misread this image so badly that I can only really hope to illustrate what I saw.

( Also a good excuse for an #art study )
A digital drawing referencing the quoted image. In the style of an early 20th century drawing, a woman in a dress holds a minigun. The text above is changed to read "Does the minigun make women cruel?"

Image from the July 1, 1899 issue of "The Illustrated Police News", captioned "THRASHED BY A LADY CYCLIST, noted for her athletic powers", and featuring, as the caption indicates, a lady cyclist thrashing a (and I presumably need to use this term lightly gentleman, as her bicycle lays nearby and a crowd of aggrieved 19th Century dudebros look on in horror.

But for now, a silver lining: it took many years and billions of dollars, but Microsoft finally invented a calculator that’s wrong sometimes and can install malware on our computers.

@trungles.com has a lovely post about creating fan art of our favorite childhood books, with a beautiful Strega Nona drawing. The responses are equally beautiful. Go have a look.

Here’s my own 🎨 piece, for Harold & his purple crayon. I remember wanting to have Harold’s magical powers SO BADLY.
A collage illustration featuring a toddler in a blue playsuit drawing with a crayon. He’s drawn larger-than-life flowers, depicted in patterned papers and loose crayon lines.

I've been quietly working away on my debut graphic novel, a story 8 years in the making, and very dear to my heart. As the book gets closer to completion, I plan to share more of my process and this world with you. Until then, an offering...

✦𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐆𝐫𝐞𝐲 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐆𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐚𝐧𝐭✦
a wide panoramic view of a hallway with a door on the left and a star shaped window on the right. 2 characters, a princess and a squire holding a torch are walking in front of the door, away from a 3rd character, another squire, looking out at the stars. The squire holding the torch is looking back at the stargazing squire.

I know it's a tad early but I know those bitches with the buckets will be out soon. Don't gove them a penny. The volunteers may not know but the salvation army is no ally and actively combative and harmful to many queer minorities especially during the holiday season
A I age showing a typical collection bucket for the salvation army which is read with a lid holding mechanism on a tripod holder. There is a big stop/do not symbol over the hand depositing money with the words "we don't donate to the Bigot bucket" over the bottom bucket section
