#Drawtober day 10: “Summoner.”
The horned one has answered her call, but will it answer her questions?

A woman in the foreground adorned in robes and antlers cradles a beaded necklace with a pendant, which lies among four small stones. A deer-like creature with matching patterns on its fur, wearing similar beads, and adorned with antlers that may be incorporeal watches her in the background.

“A.I., I’d rather put a gun in my mouth” makes for a fantastic slogan.

If by "assaults" they mean "relentlessly mocking them," then yeah I believe that.

ICE claims assaults on its officers are up sharply since June. There's no public evidence that number is true.

White House claims "more than 1,000%" rise in assaults on ICE agents, data says otherwise

I just discovered that my beloved @procreate.com removed the ability to add negative values to text, like Kerning and Leading etc.

Procreate I love you to death, I truly truly do, but this screws over my comics lettering big time.

Every creator should make their own original things b/c, even if you do get somewhere with stolen art or copied jokes, etc you'll never have the skill set to make your own stuff & you'll either have to finally learn to do it on your own, or keep on stealing when you run out of ideas. Better to learn

Wiegraf is the Kai Leng of Final Fantasy Tactics.

I forgot how much I hate this fucking guy.

#Drawtober day 9: “Antlers Out of Time.”
When you behold the horned one, do you see its antlers between the realms?

A deer-like animal with painted fur and beads sporting antlers that are made of thin lines.

Nope. It’s still very deliberate in its pacing, which is good for my slow-reflexes brain. 😅

In today’s blog at The Legacy of Dominic Deegan I revisit Final Fantasy Tactics and fall in love with the story all over again… except not the story in the game.

THE STARTING SCHMUCKS

lede = introductory section in journalism

bury the lede = hiding the most relevant pieces of a story within other distracting information

Allegedly, it’s spelled ‘lede’ to avoid confusion with ‘lead,’ which was the strip of metal that would separate lines of type.

I’m not a baseball fan, but I’ve lived in Massachusetts long enough that I feel this in my bones. 😄

Black cats are truly magical because when they lie in direct sunlight they turn brown.

#Drawtober day 8: “Wizard.”
The old mage looked out over the towers, wondering how things moved so quickly beyond his gaze.

#Drawtober day 7: “The Key.”
The portal lies under the fields.
The key opens the portal.

A grey-clad figure holding a staff and a hovering diamond stands beside a portal that has risen from a wiggly-looking field. There is a matching diamond shape in the portal.

In today’s blog at The Legacy of Dominic Deegan I’m excited for this year’s October art exercise, even if I run into the same troubles at the start every time.

#Drawtober day 6: “Two of Wands.”
I was stuck on what to draw for today so I drew tarot cards until something struck me. I planned to make this one more wizardly but staying faithful to the original seemed to work fine.

My version of the two of wands card from the tarot. A mystic figure stands atop a castle wall looking out over a countryside. He is holding a staff atop the wall and a crystal ball. The other staff is secured to the castle wall beside him.
