Okay, since I'm doing the thing, I can clarify that it is the reformatting and re-lettering of Fifth Ace Showcase #4. I'm a third of the way through so far, and when I'm done I'll be making a new cover for it all, so hopefully that'll drop first thing next month, fingers crossed!

So I just had to blow through the rest of my birthday money having to pay for some delivery fuck up at the post office. It cost me 70 euros to sort it out and I only had 73 euros in my bank. If anyone wants to commission me or send me a tip on ko-fi, I'd really, really appreciate it right now.

Good news: I'm doing it. Bad news: It's slow work; my CSP takes a while to render out large re-scaled stuff. Thank you to the Spiffing Brit and his long Skyrim streams for consistent background noise to keep me in place.

Tomorrow I'm going to do something; I need to do something productive, because I didn't do anything last week. I'm not being specific just in case I can't follow through for whatever reason, but I have a plan; it's something long overdue that I can get done in a day or two.

Payday is in 4 days…

Occasionally I feel the need to reinvent myself, do something different, change up my style and do a revamp. One look at the price of clothing and all that goes away; even the most basic of new wardrobes is inconceivable, what the hell...

You know what I haven't had in ages? Cereal. I don't go for anything fancy, just cornflakes with some raisins. For some reason, that sounds really good right now. Maybe I'll get some while I'm out today, just to have on hand for a timely snack.

I'm picturing a Necromancy Summoner, Frostborne Giant/Firbolg mix; a big wooly bison with three eyes that calls upon the frozen draugr spirits to defend themselves. #Daggerheart

I wish I knew someone in my area who would run #Daggerheart for me. I wanna play a Necromancer that doesn't suck.

Hey! Bluesky has link buttons now! Did you know if you click the green ones, you can support people? I have a couple of those, so please, maybe?

I'm opening coms if anyone is interested ✨️

HOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO BOY! #AvatarSevenHavens

Ugh, I've almost stepped in spoilers twice today, I'm sick of dodging them; time to watch these new episodes! #AvatarSevenHavens

Slightly downgrade a musical artist: Ninja Heavy Petting Party

Sparrow has the right idea; I'm ready for this day to be over and it's not even 2pm. #cats

Save this. Spread it around. Don't let EA live down the fact they looked at this and then did what they did right before N7 day, when this was likely gonna be shown. Fuck EA forever and always. Utterly reprehensible publisher, worst in all of gaming history. FUCK you. ALL of you #MassEffect #Bioware

How can I be added to all those artist starter packs? I really need to be seen. Am I not using the right tags? #artsky #art #humanartist #starterpack #blackartist

It's stuff like this that made me overestimate the power of tuning forks as a child. #Ducktales #MorningCartoonLineup

The Julie bots have found me.

Double Trouble continues to be the best worst person; always fun when they're on screen. #SheRa #MorningCartoonLineup

Yeesh, Future Tense basically took its shot at being as dark as possible, didn't it? #Gargoyles #MorningCartoonLineup

I like how the Harley & Ivy episode just happened because of the pun, but they had such chemistry that it evolved into one of the most iconic queer relationships in comics today. #BatmanTAS #MorningCartoonLineup

My zine trifecta for Local Comic Shop Day on Halloween! Always extremely satisfying to see something I've created take physical form. #zine #comiczine #indiecomics

Did final adjustments and assembled some covers for the Magic Beans zines this morning, and I've been printing them for an hour or two at this point; in the final stretch now. They use less ink than the Full Ring zine did, so I feel comfortable printing a whole bunch of them. Assembly will be long

Oh, and if you think I'm not jamming out to that evergreen Ducktales theme tune before and after every episode, you don't know my life! #Ducktales #MorningCartoonLineup

Joaquin Slolei, what a name! #Ducktales #MorningCartoonLineup

Launchpad is here, all is right in the world. #Ducktales #MorningCartoonLineup

"Oh yeahhh, they regenera-" "WeforgotthebotsREGENERATE!" I love that no matter how powerful or badass she gets, Adora is still a dork. #SheRa #MorningCartoonLineup

Even knowing what Flutterina's deal actually is, she is freaking adorable. All these moth people are, to be fair. #SheRa #MorningCartoonLineup

Having grown up watching the entirety of Star Trek: Voyager, it really is something to hear Kate Mulgrew's voice coming out of Queen Titania. As for Oberon, you can tell Terrance Mann is theatrically trained, perfect for a Shakespearian-inspired character. #Gargoyles #MorningCartoonLineup

The ejection seats with the bat-wing gliders... *chef's kiss* So comic-booky and so on brand; it's the little things. #BatmanTAS #MorningCartoonLineup

I love the little mythology nods in the Mechanic episode to the comics, especially the old-school Batmobile with the big Batman face on the front. Also, as with the Burton movies, Penguin remote controls the Batmobile; no mention of running over old ladies though. #BatmanTAS #MorningCartoonLineup

The villain using deepfakes to frame the hero for bank robbery, in a cartoon from 1999. Art imitating life, or vice versa? #Cybersix #MorningCartoonLineup

Mori has revealed that Kaz is a teenage dude! A punk 16 year old demon boy with 4 aunties, this'll be interesting... #criticalrole #hololive #shatteredlegends #daggerheart

I can't afford the personal trainer and all the food that goes with the specialized diet plan provided alongside the obligation of appearing as a literal god in a billion-dollar multi-media franchise. Excuse enough?

My table at Local Comic Shop Day is secured!

Tit-Tober 2026, Day #18: Swordplay Currently re-watching She-Ra, she has sword, it fits. A few days behind on the challenge, moving to catch up! Challenge by: @yungkhan.bsky.social Pose reference: @theposearchives.bsky.social #TitTober2026 #TitTober #artchallenge #digitalart #SheRa

Man, these old Ducktales episodes move at a breakneck pace; not a single second wasted. Guess life really is like a hurricane. #Ducktales #MorningCartoonLineup

Ooooh, I forgot this was Double Trouble's debut episode! #SheRa #MorningCartoonLineup

Perfuma being stressed and out of her depth in the Crimson Wastes is such a mood. #SheRa #MorningCartoonLineup

Coyote still having his half-Xanatos/half-robot face on a screen, when he's been upgraded into a battle-mech at this point means it's a *choice*. Edgiest tin-can. #Gargoyles #MorningCartoonLineup

Beth: "Elisa! Where did you come from?" Elisa (having arrived by magic boat in the middle of a college swimming pool): "The deep end." God I love the writing on this show... #Gargoyles #MorningCartoonLineup
