Comic books are (and this isn’t hyperbole) the greatest story telling medium that has ever existed. The combination of text and images rendered with a human hand is the most direct path from one mind to another. All other medium pale in comparison.

Anyone have a particularly hot comic take?

The Rat Queen, my tribute to the band Castle Rat and their singer, Riley Pinkerton. Painted in CSP using Wes Gardner's brushes. Enjoy! 🐀✨

#art, #fantasy, #CastleRat, #FanArt

A digital painting of Riley Pinkerton, aka The Rat Queen, from the band Castle Rat. She is standing in a dark void, shrouded by a gigantic blue flame. She has a long sword resting on her shoulder, her other arm extended palm up. Her long tangled ginger hair cascades over her shoulders, and her fantasy armor of questionable protective value glitters and shines.

okay. I've tried this before but maybe it'll stick.

WG is a forum where you can discuss at length tv, movies, books, new releases, metatextual topics, post and discuss art, post tutorials etc, read up in threads, which will not just vanish but stick around for a bit. try it!

Working on the first Inktober offering of the year - Not sticking to any themes, just 31 favorite character portraits because I’m an effing maverick and I ride on a demon dragonfly through the gates of oblivion, etc.

I’ll post the finished piece later this evening ☺️✨🎨

GOOD NEWS! Researchers have unveiled a promising new vaccine that generates a powerful immune response against HIV and other viruses including SARS-CoV-2 and influenza with just ONE dose. By combining immune-boosting adjuvants, the vaccine encourages the body to generate more antibody variations.

Gothic III, painted in CSP using the brushes of Wes Gardner and Lane Brown. This is my tribute to and master study of the great George Ziel, pioneer of the gothic romance genre of book covers. Prints available here: www.inprnt.com/gallery/flin...

A digital painting in the gothic romance style of a dark-clad woman standing outside in the moonlight. Her hair and veil are blowing in the wind, and there is a dark building far in the background.

One night I catched part of an episode and it fascinated me. Finding it as an adult was so satisfying

Ironically, The X Files.
Nothing was really banned to watch, but it aired too late and we only had one TV with a crappy connection

my parents famously did not ban any tv/movies or really enforce a bedtime, and i think that watching Eurotrash at 11pm at age 9 really shaped me into the well-adjusted person i am today

My Amphibian Man is done! Just gotta wait a little longer for him to dry completely before I put him back in the hoop. My favorite part is the soak. Somehow, embroidery looks so good in cloudy water #theshapeofwater @realgdt.bsky.social

Completed embroidery of the Amphibian Man from The Shape of Water. He is still in his hoop with the stabilizer attached

Embroidery removed from hoop and soaking in soapy water. The water looks foggy and murky, obscuring the darker details of the embroidery

Embroidery laid flat and drying outside of the hoop

QRP with your book covers 📚

I am counting comic books too!

#art, #pulp, #comics

A digital painting of two lovers, a black woman and a black man. The woman is sitting on a rope swing, her legs dangling, flowers in her long dark hair, her ivory dress sustained on the air. The man is holding her from behind, his hand groping at her breast, his face nuzzled into her neck. The sky above them is clear blue, and in the distance, a little cabin rests upon a brown hill. The scene is framed by tangled leaves and vines, corners marked by red flowers.

Tiefling hunk 👀

A digital painting of a handsome tiefling man with short horns, black eyes and blue, pupil-less irises. He is smoking a cigarette, extending the cigarette case toward the viewer. A brown poncho is slung over his shoulder, and he is wearing a tight off-white shirt that strains over his muscular physique.

Another watercolour finished. Ended up using some pen on this little fish, because it became a bit pale compared to the background. 😊🐠

How I present to the world because I have to get my art out there to make a living vs how I often actually actually feel.
