A battered motorcyclist rests at a crossroads of choices, their harley davidson motorcycle is a cascade of flames and the only shadows cast from it are regrets.

Peep my poetry and check Keith’s kickstarter campaign, hes the real writer

a real question for the roberts majority is what in their view distinguishes jim crow disenfranchisement from majority-minority districts? a related question is what in their view made the typical jim crow law — which was facially neutral — unconstitutional?

i struggle with a brain that wants to stiffly copy whatever reference i'm using and one thing i've found helpful:
1. draw big blocky shapes over the reference
2. turn off ref and redraw big blocky shapes
3. draw in figure with big blocky shapes overlaid
Traducir post

photo of model posing as an elegant elf woman that ive blocked out with a chunky red brush

in a separate window ive redrawn the red blocks, then have drawn details over the red blocks, using the photo+red transparency as reference

final doodle of the figure drawing without the red blocking

Denver Leary spent the last three (3!!) chapters of KEEPING TIME trying to get the reserved, attractive pianist he used to know to (re)join his band. He FINALLY succeeded except it's, uh, off to a rough start

#KeepingTime #webcomics

🎸 Latest update: keepingtimecomic.com
🎸Start from the beginning

A panel from the webcomic KEEPING TIME. Three dudes in a band are in their practice space experiencing a full range of emotional reactions to a new band member joining them. The bassist, Stef, crosses his arms surlily, Tomás, the drummer, is an excitable toddler, and Denver holds his hands out at Stef in a 'dude, what gives' gesture as he asks, "Stef, buddy? You wanna say hi back, or...?"

As of right now the last payments from my job letting me go still haven't come through. Thankfully it's still the beginning of the month but knowing corporate america this could turn into a wait. If people could boost this or even comm me I would be grateful.

The Hearth (1/21)

A sapphic horror comic about witchcraft and hunger in the dead of winter.

An illustrated cover for a short comic called The Hearth by lainey williams. A cabin sits in a clearing in a snowy forest. The small windows in the log cabin are lit yellow and there is a trail of blood through the snow leading to the door. Smoke rises from the cabin’s chimney to surround the title. On either side of the smoke are illustrations in the style of Karelian embroidery, showing stylized geometric patterns in red thread. On the left side embroidery section, there is a depiction of a woman kneeling. her hands are stained red and she wears a headscarf. Opposite her is a woman standing. Instead of a left arm she has a wing. Over the top of the image, two geese shaded in red fly over the cabin and smoke. The trees all around the cabin are shaded in dark blue.
