surreal landscape illustration. swirling white clouds emanate from the dark silhouette of a distant fortress, lightly glowing beyond bleak flats of black sand and sulfur pools.

seeing as i hijacked it for my header, here's an illustration from some juncture

COVER: In the foreground, a black person busses dishes while giving side-eye to two white adults talking as one of their kids sneezes. We see the air flow out and billow around them, splashing on a listening face and forming a miasma that fills the rest of the background. The busser has a button that says “service with a smile” even as their mouth is covered by a k100 mask. In large hand drawn lettering at the top of the page, the words “WHY WE MASK: IT’S NOT” sit on a black background. And then out in the miasma and in quote marks it says “JUST A COLD”. In the bottom right, it says “Laurel Lynn Leake” above a large “2024”.

Surrounded by drawings of COVID-19 particles of various sizes, it says “THE BASICS: COVID-19 is a viral illness caused by SARS-CoV-2, and primarily spreads through the air.” The first endnote appears, signified here as e1. It continues “A single infection - even a “mild” one - can severely damage nearly every organ system in your body. Each additional infection risks further harm to your immune system, lungs, heart, brain, guts, and reproductive organs, and can result in permanent disability or death. e2 About 75% of all adults e3 (and at least 30% of children e4) are at a high risk of developing severe SARS-COV-2. If you’ve ever had COVID-19, EVEN ONCE, you are now high risk.” It then says “THE VIRUS:” and shows “SARS- COV- 2” separated into it’s three parts. A bubble connected to SARS says “Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome”. A bubble connected to COV says “Corona Virus (crown-shaped, round with spikes)”. And the bubble connected to 2 says “similar to 2002-2003 SARS-CoV outbreak”.

Large hand-drawn text reads “COVID-19 is an AIRBORNE ILLNESS e5” over that same curly haired character from the last page sneezing with a big “KACHOO!” We see a large billow of mist and droplets. A measurement in meters is below, showing larger droplets dropping in the first couple meters and the more misty particles continuing to 6 meters. In a box below, text reads “It spreads when infected people exhale, cough, or sneeze plumes of tiny RESPIRATORY PARTICLES. You can shed hundreds of viruses in a single minute, just by breathing. e6 And sneezing can send viral gunk flying up to 6m (20ft)! Once they’re in the air, the tiniest RPs can linger in poorly ventilated spaces for HOURS...invisible to the naked eye. e7,e8”

A bubble points at a big blob in a loose ring of different sized circular drops: “DROPLETS...are barely visible globs of fluid that drift to the ground.” A smaller circle is labled: “AEROSOLS...are microscopic blobs, so light they float.” Large text reads “What’s inside a respiratory particle?” next to a cute Laurel looking through a magnifying glass. Arrows point out a small “SARS-COV-2” & little squiggles of “mucus”. The particle grows even larger to show the spiked SARS-COV-2, as well as dots of “dust” & translucent blobs of “lung fluid”. Text to the side reads “RPs are made up of lung fluids, mucus, & saliva, as well as contaminants like dust, bacteria, & viruses. e9 When a COVID-19 contagious person exhales, they send out lungfuls of SARS-CoV-2, hidden inside aerosols & droplets. e10 Aerodynamic aerosols carry the highest dose of viruses and are the most dangerous to inhale. e11 The particles protect their passengers as they fly through the air, ready to be inhaled by someone new.

Painting of the moon presence from bloodborne. Her wild tentacles are backlit by a giant red moon. She crawls toward the viewer through a field of white flowers.

Digital illustration of two men in front of a red curtain. One sits in front of a piano and the other leans on the back of the piano. In the space behind the pulled back curtain is the silhouette of a man with horns. His yellow eye stands out from in the darkness. The title at the top reads "Leo Murrelet's Faust"

sequence of two drawings of heavily scarred, very tired human with short hair and armor, on a light blue background, with screenshots from a tumblr post by nymphoutofwater. the first drawing is accompanied by a screenshot reading "fuuuuck that is my circus. are those...? yep...". the character is watching something out of frame with crossed arms. the second drawing is accompanied by the second half of the post, reading "those are my monkeys..... goddammit." the character is looking down with a hand over their face, eyes closed.

after days of grifters and con men at CES we stumbled upon the booth for VLC. they were all dressed as wizards and told us, "we have nothing to sell, we just decided to show up". i told them I'd been using their software to pirate media for 15 years and they said "keep doing that"

TIME TO BEAT OFF IN A LEGITIMATE AND STREAMLINED FASHION

A red plus sized demon lady in a dark maroon one piece swimsuit. She has long black hair that falls down her back in a fire pattern and a very blunt straight fringe. She has two horns poking through her hair and pointing straight up. She's flexing in a way to show off her stretch marks on her thighs and upper arms. There is a glow coming through the stretch marks, as if she has molten magma flowing through her veins.

A painting from a while ago of my oc Bridgette and her glowing stretch marks! I wanted it to look like she was glowing from within 🧡

A simple waist-up drawing of a calm rather sleepy pink drow with blue-yellow heterochromia sitting with a hand under the chin. Their hair is pale pink and wavy, reaching to collarbones, and inside of the hair, there's a subtle pastel galaxy of blue and yellow colors with purple stars. Their lips are lavender colored and they have star-shaped silver eyeshadows. They wear a long pink dress with a small vest decorated with silver jewelry, and puffy sleeves. Their hand, on which the chin is rested, have silver prosthetic fingers. The hair is veiled with subtle colors. The background is gray purple with a cool purple circle behind the character. There's a white text that says "commission for @ dantii art" just next to their face. End ID.
