i'm reading "dungeon crawler carl," which my brain keeps editing to "combat carl." it's fun so far, but i had to trick my brain into thinking it was a manga or a tv comedy to enjoy it. normally i don't read books written in this tone lol

i'm gonna try a real one in a bit but first,
a goofy parody of the intro animation to kirby's adventure, where a circle gets drawn into a kirby but in THIS version, a circle gets drawn into the current meme of frieren looking up which is very hard to draw (true)

A photo of my sunny desk, with a desktop wallpaper with a cottage and flowers as the desktop wallpaper. Surrounding the monitor are lots of cute items: corkboards with art on the wall, a fake plant hanging to the left, cups with pens and pencils, a beige keyboard and so on.

A coffee stain turkey for you Americans who celebrate Thanksgiving. We Canadians celebrated our Thanksgiving last month. ☕🎨

A turkey created from a coffee stain. The brown coffee stain on a piece of paper has been enhanced with ink lines to make it look like a turkey. A few coffee beans lie nearby for scale, showing how tiny the turkey drawing really is. Art by Debbie Ridpath Ohi.

looking for trusty guides that a simple web search won't cut: anyone got any guides they'd recommend for making a graphic novel pitch?

Book

Ari and Pim found a book hidden under a hollow log…
but they don’t dare open it without Lumi.
Maybe it holds some answers.
Or maybe just another story waiting to be told.

i tried lol
A silly, “ditto” looking version of the character in the next image. I did not do a good job of drawing the character in that angle. This is a Reddit screenshot. It says “How do you guys able to draw at different angles” and below it is an amateur drawing of a character looking up, so that the bottom of the chin is in view.
