Very rough pencil drawn four panel comic. Panel 1, someone at a computer talking to a standing person. Sitting person says, I just created the first real artificial intelligence. Panel 2, they say, it has access to the best and brightest minds of our time. Their partner replies, cool what's it say? Panel 3. The computer says ppzzzyy pop whrrr crunch, error page fault program shutting down. Panel 4. The standing companion says, yeah that sounds about right, and takes a sip from her pop can while the other person looks annoyed.
... found an old comic I drew in 2004.

Digital drawing of one of my current Pathfinder (D&D) PCs, Ivan, a young tiefling man wearing lots of jewelry.
Spent my afternoon draping my fella in jewels.
#MakeAThing
Very tired amateur digital drawing of an adventuring party looking sullen, traveling through the woods with a cart.
Sometimes your motivation runs out before you're done, and your kid's complicated monster companion just becomes... woerm.

I wanna say "part 2"... it's sequential, yes
but definitely not part TWO LOL
Ivan putting on his best Imperious Airs & demanding to speak to the manager
alone
in the manager's tower
cuz the manager is a murderer.
(He apologizes to the staff afterwards for being an imperious dick.)

More polished version of art of my orcish cleric from previous post, now with color, more distinct lineart, and the rest of the party in the background- a gnome paladin shouting "what is she doing," an elven sorcerer, and a two-legged walking cat.
Finished her up this morning.
#MakeAThing
Amateur digital art of a terrified 20-year-old tiefling boy casting an offensive-magic fire spell alone in the woods with both hands. He is dressed for cold weather and looks terrified.
Ta-dah!

My sweet Pathfinder PC Ivan Greendale, a romcom character dropped into a horror campaign and just trying to get home.

Quickly drawn comic. First panel is someone standing in front of a big spinning wheel with options written on it. Figure says, I've got 45 minutes mostly to myself, how shall I spend it. Then the word "spin" in big letters. Next panel is close up of the option on the wheel where it has stopped, with the pointer on "doomscroll" instead of lots of fulfilling and creative options like drawing, writing, and fiber arts work. Speech bubble, I swear this thing is rigged.
a personal zine
(as most of mine end up being, I suppose)

It's how I get bangers like this, you know
#MakeAThing
Am trying to make more small doodle arts where I have no plan and no particular attachment to outcome.
#MakeAThing
And another woven band I designed, created, and turned into useful items, for an upcoming auction. Opens tomorrow, in fact!
#MakeAThing
I mean.
It's been a busy month.
Most of these things I made in February! So many different kinds of thing. I can never stick with art thing for long, my attention is always pulled in so many directions. I quit fighting that long ago! I come back to it when it's time.
#MakeAThing
I've been neglecting my own creative-stuff hashtag.
I blame the exhaustion. And the perimenopausal brain bzzzt. And the moon. And god.
#MakeAThing
Gonna thread some recent making stuff.
Cuz it motivates me to make more stuff when I look at stuff I've made!!
I wasn't up for doing hourly comics today, though it's been fun in the past. Head too blah.
Instead I'll finally share a personal zine I made mostly a year ago and abandoned.
Digital format only, it's not really a universal Print & Share kind of work anyway.
#MakeAThing
Plastic sheet with black linework in a plastic faux leading plastic. There's three designs- a turtle with a knife tied to its shell, a sea queen drag performer, and a knife stabbed into an orange.
Working on refining my faux-leading lines. Hard to have a steady hand with the hand strength required to squeeze the damn bottle. 🫠
#MakeAThing
Sketchbook page with two images. First is someone driving a car, shouting, "I have so many amazing art ideas!" The second image is the same person slumped on a desk with art supplies saying "I am so tired."
A 2019 sketchbook doodle.

but sometimes you're tired
Necklace and earrings set with large beads on the necklace that had been lovely earring pieces, including super cute glass ladybugs, now incorporated into a chain. There's a large blue circle pendant from my jewelry making collection. The major colors are blue and green with silver and pops of red.
Necklace being worn ove ra blue sweater.
Jewelry set I created last winter, largely from some @peculiarityshop.bsky.social pieces I loved but were too heavy for my wimpy ears. (Glass! It's heavy! Who'd've thought lol...)

The little compartments of the box are now filled with sets of TTRPG dice.

Digital painting. An orc woman with a graying mohawk leans one hand on a tree and another on a split rail fence, watching the sun rise over a hill with some cows on it.
Doing my lil art for the day cuz I'm still on this earth to do it.
