Thought about going with "they're not back yet" but that can also be a good thing. Wouldn't be a problem for us at all if customer service would quit telling people that all our delivery trucks are back by 4pm 😠

I don't base characters much off people I know anymore, but when I did they definitely knew about it. Felicity from Dreamcrashers is based on my friend Spyn, he gets allll the new comics first lol

I'm going as my version of the Knight of Cups for Halloween (and probably Ren Faire next year)

I just got the base for the costume and not only does it fit perfectly but man does it look good on me 🤩 normally my costumes are kinda meh

There will of course be pictures once the alterations are done

I had to search a bit too, I remembered the sound they made but not the game 😆

He dropped inside the window and brushed his thin blue hair out of his eyes. The next chamber, a vast, round, high-ceilinged room, only had a door on either side. He could see the drones’ eyes flickering, twisted lines of violet and gold and red glowing ominously in the dark. There were hundreds above his head. They would drift like fish, making circles in their murky aquarium, until they were energized. As Kestrel crossed into the room, only visible by the light reflected behind him, the drones stopped cold. He would have admired their discipline if he’d known they had a choice. He was a magnet to their lurid eyes. Only those with more than one tail could concentrate their attention on something else.

I'm Artem Ficta, I have five completed comics and am currently working on an animated musical all by myself~! I use 3d models while incorporating some 2d techniques, and my comics are connected via the lifetimes of the characters.

There was movement beneath his feet, under the rough stone roof of the base, the “hive” as the Accileans called it. An accurate name, he had to admit. He’d seen beehives on Earth before. He did not know if bees were as mindless as the drones swarming beneath him, but bees were more placid, for certain.

A calling, a warning bell rang in the back of his mind. He stood automatically and jumped from the ledge. He sensed where the drones were all concentrated, reached out, and caught a ledge above a window. Had he truly been human, it would have been a dangerous maneuver, and there was still pain that jolted through his arm when he came to such a sudden stop. But at the moment they all needed to work on having any advantage they could get.

I think it's only the mountains so far, our average first snowfall is later this month

Whirlwynd @whirlwynd.bsky.social · 9d

One conclusion I'm coming to is that as much as I love Colorado, I'm going to have to look into places where it doesn't snow in the winter if I don't want to wake up hating everything for half the year

An opaline beam of light split the clear Irescan sky. It burned upwards into space and unraveled, vanishing into the starlight. Kestrel’s hands tightened into fists. He was almost certain Shryke had let it come to this point on purpose.

It is fun looking at my comics from '96 though. I'm going to redraw this one sometime soon

1996 version of Ru, Jayson, Colleen, Randy, and six other Skaeya that haven't been introduced in the comic yet
