Chapter 14 of the "I don't mind." comic!! :D

The first time I'm establishing a storyline in this comic haha, I hope you guys like it 🙃

A digital comic of two women sitting at a table in a coffee shop talking, with a purse leaned up against the left woman's chair and a cat face peeking in from the left of the frame

The woman on the left (Amanda) starts "So how's your love life going?"

The woman on the right (Lily) responds "What brought that about?"

Amanda replies "I'm curious is all, you son't really talk about it much."

Lily responds "Oh, well yeah I suppose I don't. Well you know... it's going."

Top right caption: "Ch.14 P.1"

Amanda then notes "You seem to really like this coffee shop, huh?", to which Lily responds "Hm? Oh yeah it's really nice, the atmosphere is super cozy. How's that related to my love life though?"

Amanda says "Oh don't worry about that.

Anyways, so that' why you wanna come here every weekday?"

Lily then says "Well... I like the coffee."

The cat starts walking towards the purse on the ground on the left, and the shop's barista (Kiana) starts to walk in from the right holding a coffee, with a "!" at what the two other women are talking about

Top right caption: "Ch.14 P.2"

Kiana sets down the coffee in front of Lily, and says "Here you go Lily! Just how you like it!", to which Lily turns and blushes towards Kiana saying "Thank you Kiana!!"

Kiana then mentions "I love your earrings today, they're very lovely." and Lily responds "Ah! Thank you, your little star earrings are always so adorable."

Kiana responds "Thanks, I'm glad you like them! Enjoy your coffee!" and Lily says "Thanks!" and starts saying then trails off with "You too..."

Amanda leans back and gives a little "Hmm...?" as she watches the other two

The cat approaches the purse even closer and meows mischievously

Top right caption "Ch.14 P.3"

Lily leans onto the table, head in arms, with a biiig blush. Amanda chimes in "Here for the coffee, huh?" And Lily mumbles, progressively getting quieter, "Yeah the coffee is good I love the coffee the coffee is really nice and warm and adorable and it's the best... coffee..."

Amanda gives a playful "Mmmhm." and Lily retorts with an embarrassed "Shut uuup..." as Kiana walks away blushing a bit and giggling a bit

Amanda says "Don't worry I'm still free to get 'coffee' on weekdays. I do actually like the drinks here."

Lily pauses a bit then quietly says "...Thank you for your support Amy." and Amanda responds "Hey no problem."

The cat's feet are dangling out of the purse with a muffled meow

Top right caption: "Ch.14 P.4"

Congratulations on your followers! Thank you for the artshare, and to @solidpawn.bsky.social for thinking of me and tagging me here 🙏
I'll share an appropriately spooky digital piece of mine, as well as some inktober pieces!

Mind Palace - A three-eyed skull floats upside-down in a dark void. A green castle twists upwards from its teeth.

A starfish perches behind a running shower head. He holds a kitchen knife, ready to strike.

A monster slowly peeks out of a murky swamp, behind the lone tree.

A human heart sits in a set of scales, much heavier than a black feather it is weighed against.

Hello! Thank you for the art share and thank you, @emberssbm.bsky.social for the tag! I need to make more spooky art, but I have some:

The Aftermath, Aug 2025

Pen drawing of a landscape view inside a cave that has light coming from the left and fading into darkness on the right, with prominent stalactites and stalagmites framing the top and bottom, detailed with loose and wavy lines. The stalactites on the left are dripping. A pool is in the center, and behind it are bones of a long gone dragon, facing left with the top half of its skull while a shoulder bone, spine bones, and a long bone, possibly from a leg, are framing the pool, which has ripples from drips of water from the stalactites. The bones are covered in small, sharp crystals and on the skull are a few remaining clusters of scales. Its left horn is long, curved slightly, and intact, and the right horn is split off, though it isn't clear when this happened. Behind the skeletal remains is a lumpy pile that may be crystals or glass pieces. From the top left, where the shading of the cave is a lot lighter, a dragon head is visible looking at the remains with a difficult to read expression. It is unclear if the dragon is simply moving in, if the dead is an ancestor or was its young, if the living dragon actually killed the other, if it's looking at the hoard with greed. Its eyes have no pupils and it has a slightly jagged appearance on its head/face.

Black and white pen sketch of a raven with constellation markings on the chest and beak. The bird's body is facing right, and its head is facing left, over its right wing which is tucked against its side.

Memories, Oct 2019

A pen and ink sketch of an abandoned swing set, with two wooden swings, the one on the right sitting higher than the one on the left. Cattails and other tall grasses grow all around the set, and a triangular spider web connects the left rope of the right swing to the horizontal bar at the top of the swing set, nearly touching the rope of the other swing. Weeds grow from the top of the swing set, and the sky is slightly shaded.

The First Gargoyle, Aug 2025

Black and white pen illustration of a stone building on the right with a tall rounded top wooden door opening to a dark interior that is shaded all in black with no visible features. The wall is made up of medium wide stones and chunky uneven mortar, with vines creeping all over the surface. Near the top, facing left, is the slightly curved neck and face of a dragon with small scales on the head and large round scales on the neck. The horns are simple and curve out of the back of the head and forward, the teeth are varied in size and all sharp, and the visible eye is vacant, no pupil visible. Some of the vines are creeping onto the neck at the base, and the creature might have been alive and mounted, or it might be made of stone.

I have some spooky pieces for inktober 💀👻

A starfish perched behind a running shower head. He is holding a kitchen knife, ready to attack.

A monstrous sandwich skewered with a spear with a skull. An arm sticks out of the sandwich's mouth, next to the tongue.

A creature skulks in a murky swamp, right behind a lone tree.

A human heart and a feather are weighed on scales. The heart is much heavier, and dripping.

THANKS FOR THE ARTSHARE!!!

Hi, I'm Alex! I do the arts (mostly Fanart), I like comics, and I say dumb stuff.

Full body of THE BEYONDER!!! (from Marvel's Moon Girl and Devil Dinosaur)

Full body of Symbiote Storm (my own Design)

Close up to Mysterio's fishbowl and in it are M.C. Escher stairs with a few of him, Spidey and Daredevil on them

So over on Twitter Cey (@ceymk1) tweets about how She-Hulk when as Spider-Man for Halloween in an episode of Hulk and the Agents of S.H.A.S.H. and Max the red Roller Ball decides to draw that and now people are doing it as a trend from Twitter to Bluesky and even saw it on Rule 34, too

Also I did the Ben Reilly Sensational Spider-Man suit. This Suit works so well for this. Both use the adjective sensational, later it would become the Spider-Girl suit (a family member becoming a similar hero, but female), and She-Hulk would like deeper cuts.

Ember @emberssbm.bsky.social · 13h

I tend to draw OCs in pairs, and my favorite pairing are these lil goobers 😌🙃

Mush (it/its) and Grob (any) are friends who live and wander together through a little fantasy world (that I haven't really thought about writing into existence but maybe I should haha) to find wonder and whimsy 😌💜✨

A digital painting of a mushroom friend (my OC Mush) and a round frog (Grob) sit together near the edge of a green cliff and look out across an ocean, the gentle waves alit by the low sun in the sky

There are tall trees on the cliff, on of which is half the size of the other two and is broken at its top

Signed: EmberSSBM <3

A digital character sheet for my little mushroom friend character Mush :)

There are drawings of Mush in different poses, and a description that reads:

Mush the Mushroom (it/it/its)

- Little mushroom humanoid
- Life friends with Grob the Frog
- A unique part of nature, perhaps magical or otherwise, who has a strange sense of curiosity not characteristic of others of its species

A humanoid mushroom (named Mush) walks along a dirt path, over a fallen branch and a drooping leaf. Off to its side is a plant with red, yellow, and white flowers, and next to that a large tree. Forest fades into the distance, separated by a river and shrubbery.

A round, blue bird (Blorb) with a ladybug (Lady) on its head watches over the nighttime scenery being illuminated by fireflies, as it sits atop a leaf

A paper-pencil piece with a humanoid mushroom, holding a flower in its shorter arm, standing next to a happy round frog. A branch hangs over them

Caption underneath: “(They’re totally best friends :) )”

Ty for hosting!! Happy Autumn >:D

Hellooo I'm Ember, a digital painter and comic artist who loves making atmospheric pieces with cute little (or sometimes not so little) critters in them 😌 I also do a weekly comic called "I don't mind." every Friday :D

A digital painting of Hornet and the Bellbeast, from Hollow Knight: Silksong, walking down a foggy road past a ragged dead tree. The road is lined by purple bushes, and mountains fade into the background under a full moon that shines through the fog and night

Signed: EmberSSBM <3

A digital painting of a dense forest of silver trees with purple leaves, the shadows behind which have the glowing red eyes of various creatures. The ground and trees are covered in lightly glowing foliage and mushrooms. There are many characters throughout, from left to right:

A brown-headed mushroom friend leaning back in the crevice of a tree with a sack full of goods beside them.

Two little mushrooms happily and wondrously interacting with each other, the right most having a red head, and the left having a glowing mint head.

A tired goblin walking out of their house and checking out what the commotion is.

A femme person walking with a map in their hands and looking up into the trees. They have mushroom earrings and are wearing a yellow sweater over a maroon skirt and brown boots. Beside them is a one-eyed purplish-black cat.

Two mushroom friends peeking out from behind tree trunks, one of which has a glowing green top and the other a brown top.

A purple-headed mushroom peeking out from behind a tree.

On a stump, a round frog and a corvid.

Signed: EmberSSBM <3

A digital painting of the Pokemon Regigigas walking in the distance of Snowpoint Temple (from Pokemon), leaving large footprints behind it. The temple is perched at the top of a mountain peak in the foreground, its entrance following a set of stairs and a path from the nearby Lake Acuity. Evergreen trees are scattered about the snowy mountain, and across the distant land.

A large ravine is open in the distance, separating lanes of mountains. The sky is dark and cloudy, which reflects onto the surface of the lake clearly.

At the base of the pathway stand Cynthia and her Garchomp (from the Sinnoh region in Pokemon) looking out at the Regigigas)

Signed: EmberSSBM <3

A stormy ocean scene in which a small ship, captained by Mr. Briney and his pet Wingull Peeko (Pokemon), are fighting to stay afloat amidst the waves.

The lights of the ship are a small reflection in the monstrous eye of Kyogre (big ol scary whale pokemon), its golden eye piercing through the fog, its teeth and features fading into the fog and waves

Signed: EmberSSBM <3
