A blonde elf kid is sailing on a cloud high in the dark blue night sky scattered with stars. The clouds are a pretty purple and the moon is a massive glowing orange force behind him. He wears a paper hat, and on the cloud is a makeshift sail and wheel. His long blonde hair blows in the wind as he looks down solemnly.

Whoa!! There’s a ghost… in the cash register?!
TECHNICALLY from the day 5 OCtober prompt

A digital illustration. A blonde elf boy leans on an old yet pristine metal cash register, perplexed as he reaches his bandaged hands forward. From inside the cash register the spirit of a skinny small boy peeks out, his eyes blank and tired as he looks up at the blonde elf annoyed. The soul shimmers in the live boy’s big jet black eyes. Truly a unique fantasy scene

I don't think it's even that hot of a take but if you are even thinking about making a comic you should try making one. Doesn't even have to be good, a lot of professional comics aren't good. But it will be yours and nobody else can make your comic but you.

Anyone have a particularly hot comic take?

I'm not sure if it counts as me participating in a daily art challenge for October if I'm using the prompts however I please and not actually following the rules, so if I were to post them I probably couldn't use the hashtag... hmmm..

New article from The Free Press

My Favorite Actress Is Not Human

“Not everyone is happy about this gorgeous innovation,” writes Tyler Cowen.

Tilly Norwood doesn’t need a hairstylist, has no regrettable posts, and if you wish to see a virgin on-screen, this is one of your better chances. That’s because she’s AI.

Playing fear and hunger termina recently, love the artistry. Marina is the GOAT shes been with me in every playthrough. I can’t stop playing because if i go long enough without, i get weird and vivid dreams about fear and hunger. Help

A digital art piece/illustration of Marina Domek from Fear and Hunger 2: Termina, preparing to curtsy. She’s very elegant looking, probably hasn’t crawled into the sewers yet

I wrote a mean thing to them in the feedback section for shits and giggles

The hud.gov’s website’s feedback section asking, How can we improve your experience on our website?

I respond with: Maybe don’t have a massive pop up about the radical left next time I open the website. Government closing or not, maybe actually try to make a compromise and prevent it instead of whining on government websites. I don’t want to deal with this partisan bullshit, I’m here for housing matters.

Second half of my complaint covered in the first image’s alt text because it’s easier to have it in one piece

Keep forgetting to post my #artfight attacks. This is jay777e’s Juno, she was too cute not to draw

A girl named juno wearing torn jeans with ripped tights underneath. She also wears some necklaces, a black glove that reaches to the elbow, and a muted pink crop top. Her left arm has a blue arm with pink veins, and she’s wearing a black cat beanie. Juno’s sitting relaxed with her legs crossed, looking at the viewer with a smile.

This digital work is a scene of a cave with several crystals in it and a bat cowering behind an umbrella from the sunlight. A small miner in the background shovels dirt while another one with a pickaxe stares at the crystals, amazed

I personally prefer nude models, i can work with clothing but depending on what you’re doing it can become distracting when it’s draping, covering up stuff, etc. i think it’s a matter of preference more than anything else

so: what do we need you to do? two things.

1.call your D/I senators. find contact info here: reps.fyi

what do we need you to say? try the call script below. adapt it; make it your own! there are bailout points written in, in case you get nervous. but please *call.* 🧵

Hi, my name is [YOUR NAME] and I'm one of Senator [THEIR NAME]'s constituents. House Republicans are trying to insert a multiple articles of anti-trans legislation, including a full transgender healthcare funding ban, into the F-Y '26 budget. I'm calling to tell the Senator to stand up for trans Americans and vote NO on any bill with that language. This IS worth forcing a shutdown.

[you can stop here at 0:20 if you want to bail out—but it's better if you don't]

This care funding ban follows the map the G-O-P charted while attacking abortion. Democrats lost that fight by giving in to the G-O-P an inch at a time. Giving an inch at a time on trans care will devastate trans Americans and it'll get Democrats nothing in return but contempt.

[you can stop here at 0:40 if you want to bail out—but it's better if you don't]

Right now, the most popular Democrat in the U-S, [Zo-RAHN Mom-DA-nee], is campaigning on making trans healthcare cheaper and easier to access, and he's only got more good will because of it.

[you can stop here at 0:50 if you want to bail out—but it's better if you don't]

I'm asking the Senator to refuse to allow any anti-trans language including a healthcare ban in the F-Y '26 bill. Do not vote for any bill with that language. This IS worth forcing a shutdown. Standing with trans people is the right thing to do and it's politically smart. Voters and donors show up for Democrats who fight.

Ill pretend like I have secret admirers that have been begging to know this for decades (ive only been online as an artist for like 3 years and drawing for 5)

your local artist @riddlemanstarboy.bsky.social · 12d

Okay so I messed up the numbering, these are the FIVE main brushes I use. 2 of them are default procreate brushes, 3 of them are custom. One of them is from the MB brush set, one of them is from some random place and altered by me, and one of them is entirely made by me. More in alt text if u want

1. Marker Sketch. This one is mainly used for loose line art, coloring, and rendering. Easily my most versatile brush, and the most used with my art. Partially modified by me, original source unknown.

2. Soft Blend. This one’s a default procreate brush, and I mainly use it for blending, but I also use it for gradients.

3. Manga Pen. Entirely custom by me, the first brush I made in procreate. This is what I use for finer line art and better quality where the lines are the focus.

4. MB Texture Comb. From Marc Brunet’s brush set, this brush is mainly used by me to imitate texture and create color contrast.

5. Salamanca. Default procreate brush I use to create texture as well, blends well.
