The more I work on my story, the less it’s resembling a novel and more a box of weird documents you find in the back of an antique shop. And I’m not mad at it. I’m gonna let this boy grow into whatever monstrous form it was meant to take.

Heal

A black and white drawing of a character with curly horns and long dark hair worn in two loose braids, surrounded by a forest background and a decorative frame. There's a scar running across their mid chest and ribs. The character is gently holding their hands over the scar, with a calm expression on their face, eyes closed.

It’s really hard to describe to people who are not artists how survival mode does *not* inspire creativity, as the myth would have us believe. It suppresses creativity as you try to limit every possible risk – and the opportunities that come with them.

It turns out building habits and stuff actually requires not being in survival mode, who knew?!
(Yeah yeah I did)

Please, just stop sending me AI videos of Dad. Stop believing I wanna see it or that I'll understand, I don't and I won't. If you're just trying to troll me, I've seen way worse, i'll restrict and move on. But please, if you've got any decency, just stop doing this to him and to me, to everyone even, full stop. It's dumb, it's a waste of time and energy, and believe me, it's NOT what he'd want.
To watch the legacies of real people be condensed down to 'this vaguely looks and sounds like them so that's enough,
, just so
other people can churn out horrible TikTok slop puppeteering them is maddening. You're not making art, you're making disgusting, over-processed hotdogs out of the lives of human beings, out of the history of art and music, and then shoving them down someone else's throat hoping they'll give you a little thumbs up and like it.
Gross.

And for the love of EVERYTHING, stop calling it 'the future. Al is just badly recycling and regurgitating the past to be reconsumed. You are taking in the Human Centipede of content, and from the very very end of the line, all while the folks at the front laugh and laugh, consume and consume.

there's a single horn on our right side of his face, together with a strand of his hair on the opposite side it makes up two devil horns
he's showing off his teeth with a snarky smile, tugging on the side of his mouth with a pointer finger

Debil Surge @debilsurge.bsky.social · 6d

Heyyy, I’m finally uploading the chapter 01 sketch pages, very cool. Today we’re starting with the cover art. Expect a new page every day in October!

Read the pages right to left, like manga!

#art #comic #OC

The cover for chapter 01 of Debil|Debil. A woman looks over her shoulder as she runs away from a location, she holds a large duffle bag underneath her right arm. She wears a jacket, jeans, and leather riding boots; her face is veiled with a bandanna. She runs towards her getaway vehicle, a motorcycle, that her partner sits on. He wears a similar outfit to the woman, his jeans are looser, however. Behind them is a large cityscape with a partially cloudy sky looming overhead.

Above the image is the name of the comic ‘DEBIL|DEBIL’. The font is meant to replicate the text style of ‘Dragon Ball’, the hit manga made by the late Akira Toriyama.

Hear ye, hear ye! Local Hermit emerges from shadows to yell about their comic!

Panel one; Luna pokes out from doorway, "Yo, Betty! Two weeks 'til our comic drops"

Panel two; Luna hops on the bed next to Betty. Betty says, "Two weeks?? You mean we have to wait even longer?" Luna says, "Hey, blame the artist, not me"
