My hourly comics from Sunday!

Absolutely. Well done! I dig those pools of stark black.
I spoke to a dozen professional concept artists working in games about whether generative AI image tools have made their jobs easier, even if it's just used in "very early ideation stages."
Zero said "yes." Most said it made their job harder.
I learnt a lot about concept artists. You should too!
Really enjoyed learning some new folklore while working on these Perchten ornaments!

My drawing gives this a lot more whimsy than I was actually feeling in that scene:) Thanks for such an excellent book!
Just finished reading “Buffalo Hunter Hunter’ by Stephen Graham Jones last night.
Whoa!
Gripping from start to finish, extremely well done, makes me curious for more Western Horror.
Thanks to @komara.bsky.social for the excellent rec!

New bits for the Cookeville ART Prowl this weekend: my “Merry Mari Lwyd” illustration as a print or on cards as well as an L Frank Baum sticker sheet. I’ve also restocked my card/print designs from last year and my Edgar Allen Poe sticker sheets.

Drew up some Treat Bags for a few of my favorite tricksters.

A real swing and miss with this new Affinity announcement. Canva takes the biggest selling point for many artists using Affinity “We don’t have AI nonsense” and says “But what if we added A BUNCH of AI nonsense!”
Sure makes me glad I bought the old licensed version before they sold it off.
Playing around with some texture brushes and decided to sketch my favorite Bug Boyz, Zuckuss and 4-LOM.
(No-one shake my head canon of them as grouchy gruff dad and exuberant wiseass son.)

I’ll check those out, always down for a prompt.
Thanks, I really appreciate that! I made a couple sets of these proxies because I was making demo decks for my friends with old cards but didn’t have enough warlords. I learned a lot studying the original art, this was a bushel of fun.
I use Indesign constantly for my day job and the Affinity analog feels VERY similar, it’s easy to transition over to for personal projects.
It took me a while to adjust to coming from Wacom drawing, but Procreate pretty quickly started to feel a lot more like organic sketchbook drawing and now it’s all I want to use.
The Affinity Suite is a great Adobe alternative, single charge, apps for iPad and computers.
I’m pretty excited for the #nashvillecomicartsfestival this weekend! I’m tabling with my buddy @cached.bsky.social and right next to @nekoemo.bsky.social in what I’m sure will be known as the “Little Cookeville” region of NCAF. Swing by to see us and check out all of the wonderful comics!
Progress pics for a new art game experience I’m working on with @cached.bsky.social
Be sure to come by our table at Nashville Comic Arts Festival this Saturday if you think you’ve got what it takes to Escape!

The Great Escape in Nashville? That’s a solid shop!
That is pretty rad.
There used to be some awesome ones! I remember a couple Archaia HARDBACKS with Mouse Guard comics and my first look at Scott Pilgrim was a one shot story that I don’t believe was ever collected, at least not back in the day. Genuine stuff to be excited to go get, not just reprints and long ads.
Seconded.
(did not come up in a search of “81 Wizards” playlists)
Oh, absolutely.
Hey! It was great running into, you’re a top notch Hench!
Had a blast with my new Dr Venture costume last night at Dragon Con. Speed suits are the fashion of the future, such freedom, such versatility! Way better for dancing, too.

I very much want to read more of this.
Dragon Con time for the Jones Boys!Not looking forward to wearing a three piece wool suit in Atlanta heat, but I am stoked to see some cool costumes and share some comics and stickers.

They’re fun! I mostly use them for character generation. Pretty sure I picked them up from a Chessex con booth.
