A Little Homage To The Animorphs. I Wanted To Get These Images Done Before Ramping Back Up On Getting

Agdgsgsgsg I’m LIVING for this Reef2Reef thread. This guy was worried about his urchins getting sunburnt so he made them little hats

Doodled a young Guide and his older brother. (Context in the tags, jokes in the post.)

Imagine being a mother trying to raise your two boys in the aftermath of a war with Cthulhu that nearly destroyed your entire world and- you’re just trying to raise them to be respectable young citizens despite the bad circumstances. Your older son, okay, he’s a little too into knives and swords and fighting things, but that’s just a phase right? And the younger boy is intensely curious about the natural world and good for him for learning to read so young, and then he comes to you and summons a flame on his fingers and- okay, great, natural affinity for magic yeah? You can still work with this.

And then the older boy grows up to make a career out of being a ninja and promptly gets himself killed, and then the younger one is a ranger, and you think great! A good hobby. But then he turns out to be the human incarnate of the fucking guardian of the underworld. And you are so, so tired

Honestly don’t remember if I ever ended up posting these, I wanted to make the whole set before I shared them but I started these long ago and the motivation died. They still look nice, though! :)

Sticking some comments/observations about terrible job listings I’ve seen as of late below the cut.

I’ve been job-searching as of late and some of the job profiles I’ve seen are just. So pathetic, especially in terms of low-balling candidates.

I saw one that I thought was particularly bold with “this internship is unpaid, but we value our mentors’ time at $6,000/month” yeah well unless your internship program’s mentoring is paying 18k to my rent and groceries, I don’t care. I certainly wouldn’t pay that much for the pleasure of learning from you lot.

Saw one particularly bold opening for a web developer (? I think it was that) that was straight up “you won’t receive any compensation for your work until the finished product begins pulling income” Hello???? People join start-ups for the stock options, pay, and environment -- here, all you are is a guy with an idea who’s getting a programmer to make it for you for free, and maybe you’ll pay them if it becomes successful down the line.

One rather shifty job listing had something along the lines of “we’re a team of three with our own discord server; join our experienced developers in developing our start-up of a unique shopping site.” They’re three random guys in a Discord server brainstorming the 10,000th shopping site, they’re not even a real startup.

And all the unpaid internships!! Occasionally I’ll see one company spam-post a dozen+ unpaid internships all at once, all being full-time and having a huge list of qualifications and responsibilities. Pro tip: if a company is unpaid, uncompensated interns all the way down and they’re all working on huge projects that the company will be making a profit off of, it’s illegal.

Special shoutout to the companies that make you take a coding assessment before they’ll even consider your resume. I’m not great with leetcode and I recognize that it’s very common in the application/interview process for this field, but I refuse to spend a few hours on an online assessment or take-home assignment that was sent out to all 2 thousand of us applying for this role, only to be filtered out afterwards not because of the results of the assessment that wasn’t even looked at by a person, but because my resume wasn’t in the top 50 or whatever (also not looked at by a person).

Also just the general annoyingness that job sites get up to. The “recruiter” agencies that spam regular job listings with their “sign up and we’ll match you with a job” stuff. And the job sites that make you create a login just to apply, and then spam you with random emails about other jobs, etc. etc.

Also the random...spam jobs, I guess is what they are? Ones that are clearly duplicates of other listings, and don’t even have the company name changed. I assume they’re just to fish for personal information and add you to calling lists or something.

I dunno. This post is written more aggressive than I feel, I’m more just vaguely dissatisfied in a I’m-not-mad-just-disappointed way. Job applications hard haha

Some panels don’t look all too different without the lighting/detailing, but in others, it really does the heavy lifting, haha. Difference between the top and the bottom is colored lineart, character lighting/shading, background lighting/shadows, and some assorted foliage in the background.
