I'm Ryan, and I draw a sci-fi noir webcomic titled Center World! It's available, all free to read, on my website: phoenixan.com

And also, lately, I've gotten into making maps for Quake? You'll see the occasional blog post about that and other creative hobbies I get into too. #introductions
Center World's main character, heather, sitting on a ground. She wears a long coat and is illuminated by pink, blue, and purple hues. Sample comic page from Center World, Chapter 8, Page 17. Heather eyes a pistol on a ground, picks it up, and fires with a gun in each hand.

A lot of creators essentially saying "My work might contain nudity and sexual situations, but it's NOT porn. My work is important and artistic, while their work is dirty, which is still okay to hate and censor." But guess what! The purity squad makes no such distinction.

fanart of Samus, from the Metroid games she's wearing her signature power suit/armor, only her helmet's off, she's holding it in her left hand she's standing in a dark wire-filled place, with only a vertical ray of green light falling on her fierce-looking face, like a door's opening on the outside, off screen

4 panel crime against humanity P1: a two storey detached house in a garden. A speech bubble saying "hmm" butts up against the top left of the house and the panel border P2: a guy sits at a table, with a pencil and paper in his hands. There are tangents every goddamned where. He says to himself "There is something OFF about this... I can't put my finger on it" P3: POV switches to what's on the page. It's two brown skinned gentlement looking very gentlemanly. Also, tangents. Tangents galore. The guy holding the page continues: "Ah... I see..." P4: holding pencil to his chin (creating a lovely tangent), the guy says "These tanned gents aren't tanned enough"

Wake up!!! The love of your life (the computer) has just figured something out!

🌟 Read latest O Sarilho Update 🌟 #spiderforest#webcomics#comics#sarilho
6 Panels. Panel 1, 2: a view of a field full of electrical windmills and covered in solar panels. Panel 3: A closeup of a machine that reads a harddrive. There are several cables protruding out of it and it has different buttons, much like a cassette player. The machine produces a soft bbzzzzzz sound. Panel 4: Franq, in his office, sleeping peacefully in his augur chair. The morning light comes in from the window to his right. The monitors in front of him display walls of text. Panel 5: The computer releases a sequence of extremely loud DING DING DING DING DING, waking Franq up! Panel 6: Franq puts a red glove on with the help of his teeth while the other hand adjust the laurel crown. The light covers one of the lenses of his glasses. Franq: Ok, ok, calm down, love. Just show me what you found.

Hanks' comic work is a particularly uncomfortable series of fever dreams, even by Golden Age standards.

If you have not inflicted Stardust the Super Wizard on your psyche, you owe it to yourself to do so.
comicsinthega.bsky.social Comics in the Festive Age @comicsinthega.bsky.social · 4d
Today is the birthday of writer & artist Fletcher Hanks (Dec. 1, 1889-Jan. 22, 1976). He was only active in the comic industry for three years but is remembered for his unique style & unusual creations such as Stardust the Super Wizard & Fantomah.
Two of three panels showing the transformation of Fantomah from a beautiful woman to a blue woman with more skull like features in her face. An unattached head flying through the air and shouting "have mercy." Destructo’s head retreating back into his gigantic body as he screams for help. Stardust is holding a man by one hand, squeezing his torso so tight there is no way he could be alive. Stardust is saying "I told you to get your gang together!"

Elman 🖤 I love his office look

#artsky #ocsky #scifi #cyberpunk
In the center of the frame stands a man with a serious, tense expression on his face. He points his gun straight ahead, as if at the viewer. The lighting is dramatic: one side of his face is in shadow, the other is illuminated. The man is dressed in a light shirt and dark tie, creating a businesslike, “office” look. Behind him are large windows with horizontal blinds and a view of modern high-rise buildings. The overall style is graphic, with sharp shadows and contrasts.

Vector recreation of the iconic Psygnosis logo.

Psygnosis were a video game developer and publisher from '84 to '99, perhaps most famous for Lemmings and WipeOut. At least to me. I was also fond of a mech shooter called Walker. [🧵]

Great thing about doing self-paced projects: You get to follow what you actually want to do with minimal worry about external expectations.

Bad thing about self paced projects: YOU are the one who has the expectations and there's 100 things you wanna do all the time that you have to choose from.
