My art piece, drawn in digital art medium. A ghostly pale woman in a dark purple getup and black tentacle hair poses underwater in a murky green and purple background underwater illustration. She has one hand at her hips and clutches a pearl string in the other. Seaweed, bioluminescent coral, fauna, sea urchins, octopi, and fish dot the picture. She looks haunting and beautiful. The picture has painting over some of the lineart. Half of her face is obscured in a dramatic noir spotlight.

A digital drawing of one of those drawing tutorials that says 'don't do this, do this.' 
The drawing is of an almost naked middle-aged man doing a flying kick. The 'Don't do this' one has a bunch of areas circled and a cross under it. The 'Do this' one is exactly the same but without the circles and a tick instead of a cross.
The text reads 'Needlessly adding red circles will ruin your art' and a smaller bit of text at the bottom reads 'Bonus tip! Add a tick under all your art so people think you did it right.'

An ant is crying because it can't cut a leaf into a pretty heart. All failed leaves around an ant. Somewhat sad atmosphere.

These three Ceramic sea lion sculptures include food on their heads. There’s one with a dumpling, a sushi roll, and a bowl of ramen.

Illustration of an otter and badger walking on a path in a pumpkin patch during a windy Autumn day. The badger holds a large pumpkin and is looking back at the otter, who is talking. The otter is pulling a wooden hand cart filled with pumpkins/gourds.

Digital drawing of a green blob with many small tentacle feet and many much larger purple and blue tentacles coming off the upper part of the larger mass. All the purple tentacles have suckers on them, while the blue ones seem to shine instead. Behold Tentaclina, girlfriend of Doctor Bohz, a trill who is definitely not secretly a romulan. She's fully sapient and apparently VERY classy.

Another roleplay picture - in a Star Trek game I GM, I previously introduced a tentacle monster alien as a joke that one of the players immediately started dating (the doctor). After many sessions, it was brought up no one really knew what 'Tentaclina' looked like beyond tentacle monster. Drew her.

Cyclops has found the Xavier Protocols, a secret list of ways to kill the X-Men created by Charles Xavier. He shows them to the X-men. The list is one item long and that one item is β€œshoot them with guns.” It is accompanied by an image of him doing so. Gambit appears in said image twice, much to his confusion.

Alex says "it's so embarassing asking another adult to play catch with you, I have resorted to tricking men on Grindr." Her friend looks on with concern. Cut to Alex in a grassy field playinf catch with a disappinted looking man. Alex looks ecstatic. The man prepares to throw and asks Alex "Hey... Are you gonna blow me?" Alex says "soon, soon... after we do some grounder drills."

There was one about a family with the repeated chorus 'going on a bear hunt, going to catch a big one, I'm not scared' that they go through fields and creeks and then they hear a single twig snap (I think) and run screaming back home. I made my parents sing that to me over and over.
