Hello! I'm Jean Cabot and I do #comics and #ceramics.

My hubsite is hamsterbandit.com which also contains the fiction I write, which is primarily ghost stories.

My #webcomic is hamsterwheel.art which is a diary comic where events are MUCH more impressive via presenting them as a hamster.
Comic. A snowboarder is shown doing an amazing feat labelled 'Olympian'. Following this, a hamster in snowboots labelled 'me' gets on a snowboard and immediately explodes. Comic. Hamham and his mother (a guinea pig) are emptying boxes on a deck. They discover Hamham's baby shoes in the latest box and Guineamom has a flashback to when Hamham was very small and wearing them. Hamham says 'so. Trash?' and a tear-filled Guineamom says 'you have misread the moment, my child' 3 ceramic cats around a loonie. 3 ceramic hedgehogs around a loonie.

Dani Moonstar: I have a confession. I, Moonstar, your teammate, am actually Dani Moonstar of X-Force. I went undercover in the MLF in order to gain information and try to dismantle it from within, which ended up being pointless because it turns out amoral self serving psychopaths don’t actually work well together. Forearm: Huh. I did think you were spending a lot of time emailing the government about our activities and casually socializing with our sworn enemies. Forearm: Wait, you went undercover using your own name? Dani Moonstar: I used as much subtlety as was needed.

An illustration of my original characters, Bhargavi and Aleron. Bhargavi has brown skin, red-orange eyes, and long red hair with orange and golden glows near the ends. She is wearing a somewhat traditional Indian red blouse, cropped, and a blue shawl draped on her left shoulder and dark brown pants. She is looking towards the viewer with a somewhat serious expression on her face. Aleron has fair skin, pointy elven ears, blue eyes, blue hair with glowing cyan ends, and is standing next to her, whispering something into her ear with his hand over his mouth. He is wearing a dark blue hanfu with fluffy white fur over his shoulders, and his hair is in a high ponytail. They both have a matching golden ring on their fingers, Bhargavi has one silver moon earring on her right ear, while Aleron has one sun earring. The background is a simple sandish colour with a golden frame around them.

Today we described three new toad species that give birth to fully formed toadlets, from the Eastern Arc Mountains of Tanzania! 🇹🇿🧪🐸

vertebrate-zoology.arphahub.com/article/1670...
A fine black toad with bright white fingers, toes, and lips, and brown pustular blobs along its legs, resting on a dark green leaf. A black and white toad on a green fern frond. The head and limbs are grey, and the body black. A toad looking at the camera over a brown leaf, its black body splotched with yellow and white. It is very Halloween-core. A black toad with huge yellow glands on its legs, head, arms, and parts of the back. Jack Skellington himself could hardly have painted a more Halloween-flavoured toad.

And for a THIRD game - Dagnir the helpful guide for the isekai based off the Dungeons and Dragons cartoon. He's partially based on Princess Monster Truck.
Digital drawing of a black fluffy persian cat with a gruesome face. He's wearing a floppy wizard hat covered in glowing stars and moons. He says 'I have a quest for you' and 'meow'. He is a nice boy.

Meanwhile, for the Cthulhu game I'm in (and sometimes GM), I do recap doodles instead. Here's one.

The PCs are the cast and crew of a ghost hunting reality tv show. I'm a hulking cameraman named Ellery Duke previously cameraguy of of Failsons of Beverly Hills.

Uses special Sign with cameragrip.
Multiple stick figure doodles. Featuring: Ellery leaning down so Jessie the camera grip can feed him carnival food called an elephant ear by hand. He says "Thank you, I owe you my life." The rest of the PCs, Ricky, Niko, Hayley, and Celeste excitedly cry out they see food stands. Doodle directly below they are getting exposition from a stick figure that looks like a wizard who is a professor at miskatonic university. He tells them about dreams people are having about a girl named Alice. Celeste with her laptop says she will search for carnival girls named Alice and Niko says 'yay, exposition.' The middle doodle is Hayley with her magic bracelets looking upon a carnival staff and in her trance seeing him covered in eyes, a trait of a particular God. Top right doodle, Ellery and Jessie camera tend behind Niko and Ricky as they look at a poster for a fortune teller and agree they should go check her out. Final doodle, right side, Ellery and Jessie camera sign to each other about the tarot reading taking place in front of the camera. Ellery signs 'they're using the rider-waite-ominous deck' and Jessie signs 'that one means we're fucked.' Meanwhile Hayley's bracelet glows telling her the fortune teller is not fully human while the fortune teller says 'this is a bad card' to Niko's 'scary child' comment.

Pathfinder comic for Wardens, featuring that sprite I was posting called Deputy Sparkle. Also featuring me drawing a Satyr trying to get them high on drugs, not life.
Top line says: Wardens Number 1: Meet and Greet. Starring The Moot Guard! Deputy Sparkle, Jasira (Rookie), and Mimi. Top row of panels of people they've met so far: Gnome saying 'I am trying to leave politics behind', a pudwudgie saying 'are you one of them?' in a sinister tone, centaurs saying "they need to get out of our lands" while deputy sparkle says "Distressing", and an eagle guard lady saying "I represent small indie lumberjacks." In the middle panel, a stoned looking satyr is offered a drink by the very small bug sprite Deputy Sparkle. The satyr replies 'want a treat?' to which Deputy Sparkle agrees. In the next panel, you see the satyr offering a bag full of dried mushrooms and the offer to take one. Jasira, a wood elf, and Mimi a human with fey traits, give their own motives for getting magic mushrooms. Jasira wants to feel more grounded and Mimi wants to eat them before someone else does and gets hurt. Deputy Sparkle requests a purple one. In the final panel, Mimi is singing and dancing high as balls, Jasira is asleep on the ground while sand overtakes her body to 'ground' her, and the satyr asks Deputy Sparkle 'aren't you going to eat it?' while Deputy Sparkle puts his pretty purple mushroom in a bag and says 'it's for the stash.'

Babe u left ur bike unlocked again 😭
A warm seaside setting. On a grassy hill overlooking the sea, four raccoons steal a bicycle. One leans eagerly from the basket, a second stands on the seat and steers with its front paws, a third pedals the wheels, and a fourth baby raccoon cleans to the back of the bicycle for dear life

I think the painted version of this drawing turned out okay. 👉👈This was done in watercolors, with graphite, gouache and chalk pastel finishing touches.
A watercolor and graphite illustration of a sad mermaid with long flowing hair holding a wounded albatross to her chest.

Reposting A longing shared — painted 7 months ago

A mermaid and a tiny winged unicorn meet beneath the boughs, their worlds divided, they can only meet for short moments, yet their hearts speak the same quiet language. 🌿✨

#autumnflameart #fantasyart #digitalpainting #mermaid #unicorn
A soft fantasy scene showing a mermaid sitting on a mossy tree branch above calm water. A tiny winged unicorn stands beside her, facing her gently. Sunlight filters through leaves, and purple butterflies drift nearby. The atmosphere is tender and dreamlike.

late night landsknecht Wreg sketch

greyscale sketch of knight oc Wreg. He's wearing landsknecht inspired outfit with hat and cuffed pants and all - except he's missing his shirt. He's also holding his two-handed sword, but in very impractical way over his shoulder.

6 panel comic P1: An impossibly buff Garfield knockoff (with distressingly visible nipples) towers over Jon, who is cat-sized, and lying on all fours on a table surface. P2: Same, only now Buffield points at Jon with their right hand, and reaches for him with their left. They boom: "HUMAN" P3: Brofield lays their left hand on Jon's back with such force, the latter begins to deform. Masculinifield demands: "I PET YOU. INITIATE THAT SOUND WHICH PLEASES ME SO" P4: Crushing Jon even further, The Garf lowers their head menacingly to stare at their quarry. P5: Closeup on a panicked looking and sweating Jon, as he starts shakily singing the chorus from "Hero" by Chad Kroeger. P6: As Jon continues belting out that absolute tune from off-panel, we go to a closeup of Garry Field, their face dramatically underlit. They let out a satisfied "bueno"

The lads are practicing call-and-response in the manner of the "Beastie Boys" in the hopes it will win them my favour. Wrong - the only way to win my favour is to fulfil the ore quota

I got into my first local market for next weekend (613Flea at Aberdeen Pavilion for any Ottawa folk) & am trying my darndest to get a quick batch done. Pease wish me luck as I enter THE GLAZING FRENZY (everything has to go back in the kiln by Thursday!! Eek!!!).
A wooden desk with a bunch of trinket plates being glazed. Each plate has a little swan in the middle & the glazes are various colours — reddish, lavender, and light pink. They all have chunky crystals because I’m going fancy on these!
