Can’t decide what to buy on Prime Day?

Try: absolutely nothing, and then go support indie bookstores instead 📚

Throwback to this drawing challenge I did a few years ago! The main reason I finished it was because I was unemployed and sketched them all ahead of time lol, but it was still challenging! If anyone else feels up to it feel free to use my list!! And have fun 🎃🦇💫 #inktober #drawtober

Picture of a October drawing challenge titled "Monster Mash OC-tober." Numbered 1-31, each day has a corresponding spooky monster that you have to design a character for!

Day 1 featuring a drawing of a witch, a darker-skinned woman with her dark twisted hair up in a scarf. She is shyly looking at the viewer holding her purple witch hat in her hands. She is dressed in a ankle length formfitting lavender dress with holes cut out of the shoulders, and slung around her waist is a belt filled with potions.

Day 11, Alien is a drawing of a woman posing on her knees with bright green skin and a retro alien costume with a sci-fi 60s-ass laser gun held up. Her eyes are solid black and her long green hair is up in thick braids. Day 12, Lich, is a drawing of an un-dead person with grey skin and a crown of long bones upon their shaved head. They are dressed head-to-toe in organic-looking black armor and their human heart is adorned in the middle of their chest. Behind them flows a tattered cape.

Day 13, bug, is a drawing of a woman with down-turned eyes, pale skin, and blond hair neatly curled around her head. Her face is done up with pale blue eye shadow and red lipstick as she applies more powder to her cheeks. Her entire lower body is of a mantis-like bug with 6 legs.

I can't believe furry dimitri is real #fireemblem #art

Traditional ink drawing of Dimitri Fire Emblem standing menacingly and glaring at the viewer, his clawed hand outstretched. And, yes, he has little lion ears. He's standing in front of a solid blue background.

so: what do we need you to do? two things.

1.call your D/I senators. find contact info here: reps.fyi

what do we need you to say? try the call script below. adapt it; make it your own! there are bailout points written in, in case you get nervous. but please *call.* 🧵

Hi, my name is [YOUR NAME] and I'm one of Senator [THEIR NAME]'s constituents. House Republicans are trying to insert a multiple articles of anti-trans legislation, including a full transgender healthcare funding ban, into the F-Y '26 budget. I'm calling to tell the Senator to stand up for trans Americans and vote NO on any bill with that language. This IS worth forcing a shutdown.

[you can stop here at 0:20 if you want to bail out—but it's better if you don't]

This care funding ban follows the map the G-O-P charted while attacking abortion. Democrats lost that fight by giving in to the G-O-P an inch at a time. Giving an inch at a time on trans care will devastate trans Americans and it'll get Democrats nothing in return but contempt.

[you can stop here at 0:40 if you want to bail out—but it's better if you don't]

Right now, the most popular Democrat in the U-S, [Zo-RAHN Mom-DA-nee], is campaigning on making trans healthcare cheaper and easier to access, and he's only got more good will because of it.

[you can stop here at 0:50 if you want to bail out—but it's better if you don't]

I'm asking the Senator to refuse to allow any anti-trans language including a healthcare ban in the F-Y '26 bill. Do not vote for any bill with that language. This IS worth forcing a shutdown. Standing with trans people is the right thing to do and it's politically smart. Voters and donors show up for Democrats who fight.

My #artfight drawings from this year! In order, credits to the characters: Nimioc (Tumblr), @reapervows.bsky.social, and Arielland (artfight.)

A woman with bright pink skin, red-ish horns, and a pointed tail sits on a brick half-wall. She is in fantasy thief clothing and her curly blond hair is up in a pony-tail.

A man looks up in the sky at the bright sun as he shields his eyes. He has pale skin and yellow sunglasses atop his head, he is dressed in grey slacks and a suit jacket over only his shoulders. He is also wearing a black dress shirt and red-and-grey scarf.

A young man in a tennis outfit is posed with a racket ready to hit a ball. He has spiky middle-parted blong hair, tanned skin, and a white headband and wristbands.

Cover reveal for my upcoming third and final volume of my comic Transplant :)
#indiecomic #art

Digital illustration featuring characters from my comic "Transplant" with the main character, Milo, with bright red hair and pale skin and his fist clenched. He is standing with his back against another character Jonah, who is a pale taller man with long blond hair and large bird wings for hands. He has his eyes closed. Behind them are portraits of other supporting characters, Dr. Olson and Fabiana. Dr. Olson is a middle aged woman with an abrupt blond bob cut and wearing a lab coat. She is smiling nefariously. Fabiana has tan skin and mid-length dark brown hair. She has a serious expression and her eyebrows are furrowed.

Fratricide 🦋

Digital painting two men with moth antennae on a black background. On the right is a pale man with long white hair, his arm raised in the air gripping a golden knife that he's just pulled out of the other man he's holding with his other arm. The other man, with mid-length wavy brunette hair, is screaming in agony as his blood spurts out of him. They are both well dressed in fantasy-esque button up coats.
