Hey hey, have you read my comic? #art #comic #cursedbookclub

Reading about pushups will not make you better at doing pushups without you getting on the ground and pushing up! It's the same with comics! You can do it but you have to DO IT!

If you, an aspiring comic creator, are reading all the people saying "just start" and thinking "oh but they don't mean me," yes we do. This is your sign. You don't have to post it anywhere or even show your friends, but you do need to begin.

New personal best in "number of days alive in a row"!

Aaaand hello @scottmccloud.bsky.social and @goraina.bsky.social ! I said I would tag you when my comic launched and I'm officially making good on that promise. Happy new year and thanks for all you do to inspire things like this!

Cover page for Cursed Book Club. It features two girls standing in front of a brick wall, with a security camera in the background emanating a strange pink aura as it watches them. The girl on the left is Diana, who has shoulder-length brown hair and is wearing a t-shirt and jeans. She holds a book with a red cover that appears to be sending particles into the air, and is looking back at her sister, concerned. The girl on the right is Emily, who has wavy blonde hair and is wearing a cropped jacket, red skirt, and black leggings. She is holding her head and has her eyes tightly shut. The title is in shaky bold letters at the top. Text boxes read "Issue 1" and "Smile for the Camera..."

It's about time I made a promo post: my original comic Cursed Book Club is live! We got books, we got curses, we got horror and paranoia and TWEEN PROTAGONISTS 😱

Japan's "Mundane Halloween" costume contest is back!

Each year website DailyPortalZ holds a contest where people dress up as something super duper ordinary.

Here's a thread of some of my favorites from the 2025 contest!

#MundaneHalloween

Some page templates will include lines to indicate half page, third page, etc. for people who don't want to do math to their panels but still want things to look consistent. And yeah crosshairs are usually for printer reasons I think

You know what, let's do the Annual Mister Global National Costume thread tonight after all. Usual rules apply - this is all in fun, this isn't about the contestants looks or making fun of them, it's about the costumes and appreciating them (or, you know, making fun of them...)

Birdy's 24 Hour Comics 2025 October

Guess what daaaay it is~

I'm starting in one hour!

Eat God a tabletop roleplaying game about causing problems on purpose

"Eat God" is live on Kickstarter:

www.kickstarter.com/projects/pen...

Be a blue-furred social justice advocate with detachable limbs, a many-eyed horror with strong opinions about metaphysics, or a jet-powered telepathic crab and stick it to the Man though the power of gratuitous cartoon violence.

Pond vibes 🌧️💧

The world is on fire but it’s not too late to make comics with your friends.

Fanart of Main Brave/Sage. Main Brave (back) is a young man with blue hair, wearing a blue cape and wrist guards. He is holding a sword tightly and is looking uncertainly towards the viewer. Sage (front) is the same young man, he is now wearing a blue collared shirt and striped tie. He looks more confident and cocky. He is making a pinching gesture with his hand and a currency symbol floats above his fingers.

Absolutely still in denial that #BraveAnimatedSeries season 2 is already over... so here's a small drawing celebrating Sage (nee Main Brave)'s character growth. #art #spoilers

Medical diagnosis

Fanart of Lonely General and Librarian Witch. Lonely General is a tall person wearing heavy armor and a mask styled like a skull. He is holding a book titled "Frog and Toad Together" and reading aloud uncertainly: "Toad was a-asleep, and he was hayvi-- HAVING a dream..." Librarian Witch has long straight hair and pointed ears, and is wearing a long dress and opera gloves. She is smiling at Lonely General and saying "You're doing so well!"

Fanart of Fire Chicken, Flame Hot Dog, Lava Cheese, and Chief Brave. Fire Chicken is a chicken monster breathing fire. He is shouting, "Who the HELL cuts away when a beloved character is in danger like that?!" A note explains "'danger' = crashing the plane." Flame Hot Dog is a tall monster wearing a bomber jacket with HD written across the front. He has his hands raised and is saying "You're absolutely right!" Lava Cheese is a monster with horns and lanky limbs and one arm in a sling. All three monsters look beaten up. Chief Brave is a human wearing spiky armor and a cape, and carrying a sword on his back. He is looking silently at the three monsters.

Screaming crying etc. #braveanimatedseries #spoilers #art

you're the main reason to keep on going

Fanart of Sorry Brave. He is an older human with messy hair and stubble, wearing armor and fingerless gloves. He is slouched over a bar, sweating with an uncomfortable expression. He is holding a small cup with pink liquid in his hand, and two more empty cups are in front of him. A hand from off-screen is holding a pink bottle of "Bepto-Pismol" medicine. Sorry Brave is saying "leave the bottle..." while waves of discomfort emanate from him.

Fanart of Blood King and Golem Demon Sister. Blood King is a very tall demon with pointed ears, wearing a mask and a cape with a very high spiked collar. Golem Demon Sister is a small stone gargoyle with rabbit ears and bat wings. She is wearing a cute swimsuit with a frilly skirt, and looking up at Blood King with hearts in her eyes.

"Hey babe are you in real estate? Can you tell me, is this [gestures at crotch] a lot?"

A black and white drawing of True Brave. He looks disheveled, with a patchy beard and mustache, messy hair, and a torn cloak. There is a scar over his eye and he is looking upwards, on the verge of tears. His name, "True Brave," is written across the bottom of the image.

Fanart of Fire Demon and Fallen Mad Demon, recreating a screenshot from the show. Fire Demon is a cat-shaped monster wearing a black leather jacket and a yellow shirt. He is looking at the camera with a concerned and slightly panicked expression. Fallen Mad Demon stands behind him, his face taking up nearly all the space. He has a wicked smile showing his many sharp teeth. Caption at the bottom reads, "Bro, aren't you going to move?"

I might be just a little bit hyped. #BraveAnimatedSeries #spoilers #art

A reference sheet for Sisu, a humanoid character with paper white skin and blue hair, and a blue gemstone on her chest. She is wearing a sheer sparkly top, a deep purple corset and choker, and a flowy blue skirt with many frilly petticoats visible underneath. She also has yellow calf-length boots, purple socks, and a gold tiara and earrings. She is winking and blowing a kiss. Additional sketches show her hair is braided in the back, and she has a crescent-shaped band of blue makeup over her eyes. Text on the image reads: "Sisu (Diva Blue), she/her. Literal dream girl. Punches nightmares in the face. Kind of a workaholic." Y/N: "How many petticoats do you want?" Sisu: "Yes" "Outfits for days, go wild. Hair from behind. Makeup." Signature in the bottom corner reads "rcbirdy for Art Fight"

Have at thee (if you wanna, no pressure)!

Drawing of a person with wing-shaped ears and fluffy hair floating in the air. She has a big smile and is wearing a frilly white shirt and pumpkin-shaped shorts with shoulder straps. Two long glowing orange pigtails extend from the back of her head and coil through the air behind her. She is drawing a spiral of glitter in the air, and more glitter circles her head.

Drawing of a seal-person looking up. She has short hair that floats as if in water, and many white whiskers extending from her face. She is smiling gently. The background is dappled with light and circular shapes, suggesting bubbles.

And ArtFight 2025 part 2~

A drawing of an octopus-person wearing a green suit and black top hat. She is holding a small shrimp-person in her tentacle hand. The shrimp-person is dressed in a pink dress and sun hat with a big bow on the back. The shrimp-person is reaching up to give the octopus-person a kiss. A pink heart and a green heart float in the background.

A drawing of an orange dog-person wearing a red and blue parti-color outfit with matching knee-high boots and dark glasses. Her hair is floating upwards like fire. She has one leg raised to step on a pile of books and is reaching towards the viewer with one hand. The background has red splatters. Text on the image reads "let's take ibuprofen together."

A drawing of a lion-person with red eyes, dark blue hair and a light blue beard sitting on a surfboard in the ocean. He is wearing a light green swimsuit and several water drops are falling off him. He is looking over his shoulder at the setting sun.

I'm late but whatever, ArtFight 2025 (part 1)~
