I'm getting an ArtFight account set up! There is every chance I will not use it at all because I have never actually wanted to do ArtFight before but it's better to have it than not, I suppose.

Find me here (under the same username and everything).

no, by "weird" i mean "uncanny". i mean it's a "weird dog" in the same way one could describe a parrot as a "weird autoresponder". this is not Actually a dog any more than it is Actually a dead thing, but when it walks like a duck and winks and says "quack" clear as day, might as well call it a weird duck, no?

this guy was pretty strongly inspired by the character Coyote from Gunnerkrigg Court, who is also a weird coyote in the sense that he's some other thing, but he's called Coyote, and he looks like a coyote, and it's as good a presumed name as anything else. personally I wasn't impressed by the original comic nor its execution of the character, and it treads into territory I don't want to touch vis-a-vis trying to "respectfully" turn characters from Indigenous American mythology into characters for one's own storytelling and entertainment, but I liked the idea of a mischievous Not A Dog with magic powers and a knack for showing up just before everything else goes wrong lurking about in my creative repertoire, and I think I could do a character like GC's Coyote just as well as GC pulled it off, if not, frankly, better lol. never let it be said I do not create with ego first and skill second XD

i suppose by weird dog I could mean awesome weird dog, but [weird dog] comes first!

made a weird dog

#sorry for the essay lol i don't mean this in a 'how dare you say this' sort of way #i just love an excuse to get up on a soapbox #and this is a new character i'm cooking up so there's a lot more soup-per-capita vs concrete details thus far - but the Only actual #concrete detail i have is that they're a Weird in the sense of... like...#if you took the mythological concept of A Hyena really. or A Jackal Mythological Interpretation. and compared it to a real hyena or jackal #this is what you get when you subtract the two #a mythological Un-Hyena. An Un-Jackal #not the mythological figure nor the beast itself but something that treads in the cast shadows and cuts its shape from what is not shared #i would call it an UnDog but this is not the shadow between your dog and the mythological Man's Best Friend #this is a firelight watcher; this is a bone-snatcher who waits for your back to be turned. it sniffs the food in your hand and then bites #your fingers and leaves just to remind you that it is your friend by choice and only by choice and it will turn on you in a heartbeat if yo #give it cause. it has to be wild to have the dignity it has in my head and it has to be wild to have the sharpness #the only other concrete thing i have is that it passes from Alive to Dead and back with ease. It's a carrion beast. Simultaneously roadkill #and roadkill-eater and it only wears its flesh as long as it feels like it #<- i have been toying with using it/its pronouns as a Symbol Of Respect TM for a while and im probably gonna do that with this one #it's got better things to do than worry about the boundaries between human conceptions of gender and sex. look at it. it's dead and alive #at the same time and only acts one out by choice. this thing has access to the shrimp genders and probably only puts them on for fun #anyway thanks for the comment and the interest #i'm glad you like my awesome Weird Dog #i'm planning to animate something with it when i finish the essays i need to write for school #so i can show it stepping out of its skin and the way i imagine its eyes doing smudge-frame shit and appearing in transitions in a really #eerie unusual sort of way #can't see it in movement here because this is static so i just wanted to scribble the things down that i would remember about it #but i'm envisioning the eyes being sort of like the eyes in Felix Colgrave's legendary animation Double King #not tethered by anything except like the vague essence of what's inside #capable of coming out and rolling around like marbles #and maybe even acting like screws holding things in place. little pegs. 'Got my eye on you' taking on another meaning #i do want this to be a tongue-that-does-not-lie-but-certainly-misleads trickster after all #correction: just the eyes of the dead rat king

made a weird dog

#oc #monochrome #me when there's a creature that exists between two states and watches beyond more than that:#its cool with this for the record its having a lot of fun #based super loosely off the concept of coyote from gunnerkrigg court. friend of mine wanted me to read it and i. dont like it that much but #i wanted to give it a shot bc i hate all the other webcomics they like ;-; unfortunately i still dont like it that much. it is badly writte #like materially. the reason i dislike it is because it is not well written and unlike them i came up in an era where i could read stories #like that in webcomic format that were well written #a couple ideas bit me though. as you can see #dog #sort of a fox? i guess?#also obviously goes without saying but Extremely Derivative Obviously Not My Own Original Ideas]

+ shitty low-effort follow-up:

transcript under the cut again:

Panel 1:

top card: about 45 minutes later... Investigator: It HAS to be them. Investigator: She threatened me. Now Officer Daniels will have to listen. Investigator: Has to be. Investigator: I don't care that they all insist it looks like normal travel expenses. Investigator: The timeline is too solid. Investigator: And she said I was going to be a great forensic analyst. I have to be on the - Investigator: Wait. Investigator: Was she saying I'm bad at it NOW? Investigator (muttering): God her tea was incredible. I wish I had asked for a second cup. The train tea is so burnt.

Panel 2 Card pointing at Adder (left): Adder ket'Aothea (honorary member of clan Oserisades & notorious pirate) Card pointing at Zahra (center): Zahra Nazarel (Captain of the Midnight King & even more notorious pirate) Zahra: Velan, thank you so much. That was... Zahra: Incredible. Zahra: I'd always heard shadow-step was a sight to behold, but I didn't expect it to be so, so... Zahra: So... Zahra: Spectacular. Zahra: But level with me. How much trouble are we in? Zahra: Should we be laying low for a while? Adder: Wait, Cap, that's why you're all nervous? Adder (muttering): I just thought you didn't like the shadows getting weird. Adder: My Ath doesn't threaten people when they're actually dangerous. Adder: Ath Velan, was the lightshow necessary? Velan: Ha, no. No cause for concern, Zahra. Velan: She just pissed me off a little. Velan (small): That's not what a real shadowstep looks like, either. Way too flashy. I'll show you later if you like.

Transcript under the cut:

Panel 1 Investigator (left): Look, Mrs. Oserisades- Ath Velan ket'Oserisades (right): Call me Velan. Investigator: Um, Mrs. Velan. We're pretty sure we have a link to your clan and Investigator: um Investigator: notorious pirates. Velan: My, that's an embarrassing mistake for the EBC's tax offices to make. Velan: A waste of both our time, really. Investigator: Not so- Velan: I guarantee it is. Investigator: Look, your paperwork seems clean, but- Velan: Because my clan has done nothing. Velan: Have some tea. text by Velan's ankles: shoes off means she can transform very quickly - prepared for violence! Velan's stool: chest full of extremely incriminating records Card at the top: The notorious pirates in question left the Oserisades camp 20 minutes ago. Non-card text at the top: Ath: A title, indicating the leader of a dragon clan. The EBC: The Ever-Burning City, a city-state with a military-meritocracy & a monarchy slowly trying to grab at more and more land for the last 40-odd years. Very serious about both piracy and tax fraud (Velan is involved in both).

Panel 2 Investigator: With respect, Mrs. Oserisades- Velan: Ath. Investigator: What? Velan: My title is Ath ket'Oserisades. Investigator: Mrs. Oserisades. Investigator: I know that you've done it. Investigator: I just need to prove it.

Panel 3 Velan: Hmm. Velan: Color me concerned. Velan: But it sounds like Velan: and do correct me if I'm wrong Velan: it sounds like you have no actual proof.

Panel 5 Velan: Don't worry, kid. Velan: We're all wrong sometimes, ha ha. Velan: I can tell you have a lot of passion. Velan: You'll make a great investigator someday. Velan: You should drink your tea. bottom card: End.

#oc #velan #comic #velan ket'oserisades #commission #words cannot express how delighted i was to get to draw my ocs FOR A COMMISSION. Like actually #the other idea im gonna do for the same commissioner also sounds really really fun and im really excited #its not doing what i had hoped (motivating me to stop procrastinating on a report due wednesday by drawing by giving me drawings i #dont particularly want to do before i can draw for myself) but it's really really fun so i cannot complain lmfao #anyway velan is in fact doing tax fraud. and consorting with pirates. and she is in fact sincere in terms of Great Investigator comment #but it's still put like a dig because. well. this investigator is being rude as hell. so fuck off

sketched some of my ocs absolutely passed out on Rex's couch because I didn't want to do my homework. I'll finish these once I do my homework, which means there's a 50/50 chance I won't be finishing these.

Rex: That's right blah blah you talk all big but here you are on your knees blah blah I'm in charge blah Haven: Excuse me. Rex: -- yeah? Haven: Did you forget that I can bite you? Rex: Uh, no? What? Haven: Oookay. Look just shut the fuck up. I'm trying to enjoy myself here. Rex: isn't this like. Par for the course Haven: No? Rex: You know, like. Rex: Standard? Haven: No. Rex: ... Rex: Look, can you give it a pass for now? I think I'm Rex: Um . Rex: Well it's all stuff Felyx is always saying. I guess.

Haven (thoughts): Well he never asks for anything so I can't say no now so I guess I have to shut him up the old-fashioned way. ... What the fuck is Felyx's problem? God I hate that little loser.

A new header for my Twitter, a collage from these two pieces that I then pretty aggressively hueshifted. I got tired of the Drag Strip coins (they had been my header before for several months).

#haven #oc #header #im not really drawing any more digital linocuts because now i just want to make real ones and i havent had the motivation to go steal wood #from the garbage yet. i will eventually im just lazy #i also dont have acrylics and my watercolors arent really made for this lol #you know how it is #i might update this account's header but in contrast i still like Big Motormaster and how it looks #he's my computer background too and it's not bothering me any

#oc #haven #rex #monochrome #contents: a little raunchy for tumblr #doodle #really high effort one but it's about the shapes more than anything else lol #meme redraw #comic #i may color this. the original plan was to color it. however i spent all my energy for coloring on drawing an aftermath coda #im fond of this one. there's a lot happening in it #haven and rex are both dressed "up'' to annoy the other's plus-one minor enemy #<- specific au element #rex is wearing a weezer shirt because haven knows that'll piss off taran. haven is dressed up like rex's best attempt at a mid-00s surfer #because he knows felyx cant fucking stand haven and is also into buff masc dudes dressed in jeans with rhinestones and thinks it'll be funn #to put felyx in the Lustful Colander #(he is right)#haven's house is not actually a cool neat influencer home or whatever there's no like open floorplan white walls light bamboo floor bullshi #going on here. it's all like green and red granite tile and shit. the man has been around for a very long time he knows what kind of decor #he's fond of. those ARE fish tanks in the walls though. and a spiral staircase #the man has been around for a very long time. he does not give a shit if what he likes is 'tacky'#also when the one speechbubble he says gets weird it is because he is using a magic power and forcing rex to put his cigarette out. rex is #naturally kind of annoyed about this. it used to make haven wince when he put his cigs out on his hands so he keeps doing it every time thi #happens but he has not yet cottoned on to the fact that haven has fully stopped wincing and now just thinks it's a normal habit he has #and has no idea that it's specifically aimed in his direction #also haven has no issue with giving head but rex isn't aware of that. they don't communicate well #and what Rex is actually aware of mostly consists of 'asking him to bottom turned into a giant argument and then a physical actual fight #and he broke my jaw in like four places over it and it was awesome but i didnt get what i wanted' and kind of gave up on the subject #he couldve been getting his d!ck sucked this whole time and he didnt know it. so sad #lineart

Repurposed the fancy jaw element from that picture of Haven into a header for my main blog, because I was bored with the one I had before. It's edgy but eh... it's cool looking.
