It's more of a scene than story. Tried to "show don't tell" hopefully I didn't miss the mark. Constructive feedback welcome.

The Scarlet Witch
I've inadvertently drawn a few witches this month, seems fitting though.
Here's Wanda! I ended up putting my own nouveau spin on her, incorporating some elements from her different looks. Pretty happy with how it ended up!
here it is: the biggest single piece of art I’ve ever made 😳
Inspired by eyewitness book ecosystem cutaways, it’s sort of uh a psychological ecosystem of metaphorfish as one does
I think the thing about AI and small business owners is that previously the design would have to be run past either a second person who know some amount of design, or they'd learn photoshop and some amount of design with it
now they can ask the AI to do their bad design
and the AI never says no
Caleb Williams has improved exponentially at the one thing everyone wanted him to get better at. Last week’s game was a showcase for it.

It happened again where someone after waiting finally watched my indie animation pilot The Three Tomes and they were blown away and surprised.
It would mean the world to me if content creators out there could cover or do reacts of my pilot. Most folks who've watched it lately are always caught -
Ok Alan Ritchson's Runner (2026) is actually good. That's 2 out of 3 of his movies (War Machine 👍, Motor City 👎) I've watched this year I've really liked. Motor City at least failed while trying to do something interesting . #filmsky 🎬📽️🎥
Adam Schefter: He’s back: The Bears are planning to start Caleb Williams after he missed the past three games due to a torn hamstring but went through a full week of practice this week without any setbacks, per NFLN and ESPN.

Old dystopian action flicks hitting way to close to home these days. 📽️🎥🎬
When most photographers pack up, I unpack. Rain saturates everything. Colours deepen. In a heavy downpour, the forest makes its own weather. The woodland breathes. The conditions don’t determine whether I go. I go. Rain gives the forest what clear skies never can.

VisionQuest with a strong opening two episodes. Paul Bettany and James Spader scenes are absolutely great. Spader just commands attention. Will it follow through? We will have to see. No spoilers please. #MCU 📺
