TotemPole

Reality: I have a ton of work to do and comics to ship.
Brain: I should do an ecchi illustration of the bassist girls from Bocchi for my bass pickguard.

I've been quiet, but busy. Still packing, signing and shipping a ton of Cummoner books, also sliding deeper and deeper into my 2025 midlife crisis. Got another bass guitar- an inexpensive 5-string to try out the idea of a wider range.
Also started my journey with linux, which is a rabbit hole.

totempole666.com/comic/double... a cover for this chapter of Cummoner! Coming up: the epilogue for it.

I've been doing #inktober this year- here are my first four!

Heading back home from the MFKiG con in Łódź! Thanks to all who came! My favourites are always the couples who get the books together! Hope they give you a lot of joy.

The MFKiG con is this weekend in Łódź, Poland! Hope to see some of you at booth 48!

hahah wow that's really cool :D

We Were Exploding Anyway

No Man's Sky has a procedurally-generated soundtrack, but it gets generated by mixing the music the band recorded for it.
Also if you'd prefer a bit less electronica and more rock, here's another great album by 65dos: open.spotify.com/album/2ujXGn...

No Man's Sky: Journeys (Original Soundtrack)

I've been a fan of 65daysofstatic since my academy days and they just released a new album - a second collection of songs created from the material they recorded for No Man's Sky (the game). Worth checking out! open.spotify.com/album/2yDUAu...

Also: new Cyriak day is always a good day.

Hey I think I found it! youtu.be/yjvltfiAKT4?... starts here, around 1:28. V jumps the whole staircase, acrobatic guy slides down the railing with flare, tiny Jinx takes every step carefully, huge heavy guy runs down two steps at a time. It's kinda absurd that this is the scene I remembered the best

One shot, several characters jumping down stairs, some running down, some jumping the railing, some doing it with additional flare, its glorious.

I thought of it today watching Dandadan with my breakfast. Okarun (being short) having to carefully step over a hole in the floor, while Jiji (tall and super-fit) just walked over it, half-asleep. But my favourite example is one of the first Arcane episodes with teen-thieves escaping justice.

One of my favourite little details in animation are different characters doing the same thing. A good example is traversal, where each hero would jump a gap or evade an obstacle in a different way, befitting their fitness, body build and personality.

Have a heart-to-heart with Tuck and Sofka : totempole666.com/comic/double...

picarto.tv/TotemPoleNSFW stream is up! Warmup, Patron Request Sketches and stuff!

Quick update: I had to stop the stream because the Cummoner books should be arriving in a couple minutes. I'll try and be back a little later.

Hey! The stream is on! picarto.tv/TotemPoleNSFW It will probably be just a few hours. Getting back into the swing of things! Storyboarding the end of this chapter, designing the cover and such.

this starts tomorrow at 8AM PST! You get shiny stickers if you order in the first 48 hours, and I believe there'll be a few bucks off the special Moonshade edition during that period too. The campaign will run for a month! 🍃🍑🧝‍♀️💦💕🔪🌙🍺See you tomorrow!!

We finally saw Kpop Demon Hunters! Loved it. I wish it was a full musical, but I recognize not every movie will be a musical until I'm actual king of the world.
I don't "get" the kpop/idol/star theme, but it didn't stop me liking the movie. Though I probably missed a few juicy jokes or winks.

On my way home! Meanwhile at rhe back of Vilga's hut... totempole666.com/comic/double...

Why should I write better when a machine can do it for me? Because actually no one can do it for you, because your voice is unique among all the people on earth. Siri never petted a horse's neck. Alexa has never been ghosted by the captain of the football team. But you have lived, your heart is beating, you have suffered, and you have something important to say. It's a human's job, to use words, and whatever job you give to a machine, that part of your brain goes dark. Maybe it's worth it when it comes to remembering phone numbers and directions, but when that part of your brain that uses words goes dark, that's a vast area that's very close to your soul. Don't let some internet platform convince you that what you have to say and create isn't worthwhile. Words are the echo of your soul. Honing that echo matters.

this iconic advertising copywriter named Kathy Hepinstall Parks died over the weekend and I wanted to share something from her website I thought Bluesky would like

Yeah I suppose that will happen sooner or later. When we got ours, we got advice not to invest too much money into it, because it could get taken away whenever ;)

Hah, didn't know that. Good for everyone then :D

Meanwhile I'm on my last day of family seaside vacation. Biking, working and playing bass. Managed to see some local family too! Good times. Have a sneak-peek of Vilga's bum and a photo of my fretless.

My pals @rsienicki.bsky.social and Agata Wawryniuk are doing a comic series on gardening! In Poland you can get a city plot of land to use as a garden/tiny farmland (they're called Family Gardening Areas) and it's a popular topic among us appartment dwellers.

Sorceress Vilga casting a spell

Handling some serious energy! #cummoner
