Welcome, new people! I'm Oort. A casual crow enthusiast. I draw the supernatural webcomic Infernal and play games on YouTube.

Infernal: infernal.the-comic.org
Youtube: youtube.com/@oortboxtv

A blue demon woman carrying a brunette woman with glasses. A sea monster lays defeated in the background.

Two women relaxing and laying on the grass. One, a blue demon, the other a brunette woman with glasses.

A three panel comic.
First panel: A reporter is doing a deep dive on the restaurant Five Guys.
Second panel: She asks: Are there five of them? And are they guys?
Third panel: The manager is being interviewed and looks distressed. In the background, one of the employees is clearly a cow, and is nervous about potentially being discovered.

Yup! In fact, Evelyn has two older brothers. Both are in the army following their father's footsteps.

🎂 It's my special cake and candles day you all have to be nice to me because it's been QUITE the year 🎂

So share some of my paintings??

In the pew-lined interior of a dim medieval church lit by rows of candles on tall staffs and pale sunlight coming through a window, a tall humanoid crow figure with flowing black robes and a glowing yellow eye stands beneath an ornately carved semicircular arch in Norman Romanesque style. On the wall surrounding the arch are many colourful murals depicting more humanoid crow figures with halos, carrying various items including swords, spears, harps, and chalices.

A painting set in a cosy shady woodland clearing on a sunny summer's day. In the centre of the frame, two figures sit on a fallen log mostly hidden by vegetation. The figure on the right has wavy blonde hair down past her shoulders, and wears a flowing white floor-length dress with long sleeves, with delicate lacework around the cuffs and neckline. She looks into the distance with a contemplative, sad expression. On her lap rests a small green book, covered by both of her hands.
The figure on the left sits leaning with her head against shoulder of the other figure. She wears a similar dress but simpler, and in a dark slate grey. Her hair is dark and straight, and flows down her tilted face, and she looks off towards a nightingale bird perched on a nearby branch. She raises a hand towards the other figure as if to get her attention.

Both figures are surrounded by various flowers. On the left of the frame are many spires of foxglove flowers in vivid pink and white, interspersed among green stinging nettles. On the right are the purple flowers of monkshood/wolfsbane.

Wrapping around the figures is a clear stream flowing from a distant pond that descends in a series of steps. Around the stream are many small mossy rocks, and shoots of dark green dog's mercury.

Above and behind the figures and flowers are two trees; on the left is a weeping willow with dangling dark green leaves. On the right are the branches of an old ash tree.

A snowy scene in which a humanoid figure in long black robes with the head of a rook stands in a churchyard holding a long spear. By its feet is a red fox. Both are flecked with fallen snow. Around them are many weathered snow-covered graves. In the background is a medieval church of warm coloured stone with large rectangular windows and a battlemented parapet topped with pinnacles. Behind the main body of the church is the tower with clock face and belfry. Behind the church are tall but bare trees dusted with snow. More snow falls in the air.

watched #otgw for the first time since it aired so I drew a bunch of fanart, here's Wirt but I'll post everyone else eventually too 🍂

#artpost

illustrations of Wirt, the main character of Over the Garden Wall. He's a lanky white teenager with brown hair and a thin face, wearing a halloween costume of a cape, suspenders and a gnome hat. Various points in the animated miniseries are reinterpreted here, including making a mixtape for his crush Sara, being annoyed by Beatrice the bluebird, and some of his expressions from dialogue that may be a bit spoilery

it really has been amazing how much one person in a frog suit destroyed their fantasy visuals over the past week. this wouldn't work everywhere but Portland, you are doing amazing sweetie

Adam Serwer @adamserwer.bsky.social · 1d

Can you put into words what that purpose is? You and the frog have really become icons of this protest.

There’s been a nice overall whimsy that has shown up. The frog is amazing. We had a bunch of other inflatable people here last night, too. I saw people playing Twister the other day.

What they rely on is fear. So by coming out in an absurdist manner, it speaks to them, to some extent, that we’re actually not that afraid.

It also dismantles their narrative a little bit. When they try to describe this situation as “war-torn,” it becomes much harder to take them seriously when they have to post a video saying [U.S. Secretary of Homeland Security] Kristi Noem is up on the balcony staring over the Antifa Army and it’s, like, eight journalists and five protesters and one of them is in a chicken suit.

I literally just posted them so I didn't wanna just Do It Again but then I realized who give a shit. BEHOLD THEM SOME MORE 🫵🏻🫵🏻🫵🏻

A pink-tinted black and white drawing of Emerald and Percy, to commemorate their re-engagement. They are embracing each other while Emerald leans back, and both look overjoyed.

A black and white drawing of Emerald and Percy. Emerald has an arm draped over Percy's shoulder and is smooching his cheek; Percy is covered in red cartoon kiss marks and is letting it happen.

A greyscale drawing of Emerald and Percy. Both of them are dressed fancily, like they're going to a gala; Percy is kissing Emerald's hand while Emerald watches shyly.

A greyscale drawing of Emerald and Percy, styled like a fake anime screenshot. Percy is hunched over and clutching an unconscious and bloody Emerald, staring at the camera while his dawn caste mark burns over his forehead. Around them, spectral hands from Percy's anima banner come in as if to cradle Emerald.

[The Judgment of Tenma-00]

$artwork depicting a surreal moment with Tenma-00. she's found herself on her knees in a field of grass, hair caught in the wind as the distant and incomprehensibly massive silhouettes of the Obelisks slowly turn against a blood-red starry sky. a rainbow-colored void leaks from the fracture on the left side of Tenma's face. she looks past the camera at something, wearing a horrified and guilt-ridden expression.$ another angle of the same scene, revealing what Tenma sees; The Professor, an enigmatic figure from her past and one to whom she bares an uncanny resemblance, stands in the field a short distance away from her. she observes Tenma with a disappointed frown, the rainbow void reflecting in her glasses and the latex sheen of her lab coat.

Nicholas Whyte @nwhyte.bsky.social · 2d

Dr Ramsdell, whose phone had been on airplane mode, told the BBC's Newshour Programme that his first response when his wife said, "You've won the Nobel prize" was: "I did not."

To which Ms O'Neill replied that she had 200 text messages that suggested he had.

Turns out autism isnt stored in the balls, guys!

Justin Baragona @justinbaragona.bsky.social · 1d

Besides linking Tylenol in pregnant women to autism, RFK Jr. now says circumcision is part of the reason why kids are autistic.

"Children who are circumcised early have double the rate of autism, and it's highly likely because they're given Tylenol. None of this is positive..."
