Ignatius "Dave" Pants

Hello there, #PortfolioDay ! My name is Dave, and I like to tell stories that are strange and marvelous but also very personal. Azure Claw Comics will start updating again soon! 🕸️ azureclaw.com 🅿️ www.patreon.com/azureclaw ☕ ko-fi.com/davevincenty #comics #illustration #sciencefiction

Let’s talk about coups and how to know when one is ACTUALLY happening

I just realized I haven't posted to Patreon in a while! So here's a post about how I intend to post more soon! You don't have to follow me on there to read this one (but you do have to follow me to comment, I think). www.patreon.com/azureclaw/po...

EA's closure of BioWare is transparently a vile move to shutter the studio that made by far their queerest titles. In the wake of this, I implore you: MAKE MORE QUEER ART. Make it trans. Make it horny. Make it scary. Make it loving. Make it with every inch of yourself. Flood the world with it!

Happy #portfolioday! Still going at it after all these years, and Pixel art has always been so much fun to make! #pixelart

Wassup #PortfolioDay, I'm Sam! I've been taking a break from #gamedev to build a #Moonshell_Island themed website from scratch, and it's got everything from #pixelart to millennial mix-tapes. Mind the placeholders - Crabby's Clubhouse is... UNDER CONSTRUCTION! cheekynauts.com/crabbys_clubhouse

The end of my #webcrafting adventure is coming into view, but no detour is complete without a postcard! Come take a pit-stop peek at the new design I'll be mailing to qualified patrons this autumn and the #Moonshell_Island themed website I've got under construction: www.patreon.com/cheekynauts/...

Updated my music website a bit today, check it out if you want to get a picture of my work: annaeichenauermusic.com

I hope that you will support my friend's latest game on Kickstarter! The link is: www.kickstarter.com/projects/sor...

Oops I forgot to mention... I'm learning #godot right now! I made some silly projects and wrote a post to share my progress. I see another reboot on the horizon... 😅 patreon.com/cheekynauts/posts/adventures-in-161002286 #ScreenshotSaturday #gamedev #pixelart

Our lives. Our families. Our futures. The LGBTQ community has always fought for our right to exist freely. This Pride Month and every other month of the year, we’re protesting the government’s attacks on our rights and celebrating our queer joy.

Happy LGBTQIA+ Pride Month from Azure Claw Comics! And by that, I mean from me, an asexual genderqueer cartoonist who's created a comic with no confirmed straight people in it as of this time!

My pal Jamie is offering up some fantastic pixels for a great deal! Get some while ya can, folks!

It's my privilege to connect with this awesome community of friends! The corporate world might disagree, but at least I'm a good boss according to people whose opinion matters! Thanks for this amazing art and encouragement, Dave! 💜

Here's a classic drawing I did for @goawayimcrabby.bsky.social, inspired by the way she draws herself. Or at least, how she did when she gave herself longer hair. Sam is doing great at posting and building a community out there, and she's doing great as the boss of Cheekynauts Entertainment!

Here's an old piece from when I used to do traditional painting! I've filed it under the robot section of the Azureverse. But is that really the best place for it? I'm not sure. I just think robots are neat!

Here's another classic Azure Claw Comics art of Azzura Silverstar, seen here having a lovely day at the beach after setting a Sovereign watchtower on fire. This one has a lot of empty space so I can use it as an Azure Claw key art. But other than the Facebook page, I haven't done that much with it.

Our spring postcard is ready to ship to qualifying tiers on our Patreon page! I'm gonna mail em out on Monday, so I better get writing! This post doubles as my burnout check-in. Enjoy my descent into madness~ 😉 www.patreon.com/posts/156465... Artwork by me and @ainrueda.bsky.social 💜

Oh no! It looks like the robots are fighting again! This time Three is fighting her younger sister, Four, a human-sized robot made of a collection of nanomachines that can reassemble themselves into practically anything!

(7/7) On the theme of today's mood, here is the mockup that started it all. I made it for the Squared Up! #pixelart zine, and the theme was 'A Grand Adventure', and it has been that so far! 💜

Happy #PortfolioDay! Hi, my name is Dave, and I'm writer, illustrator, and online cartoonist! I'm working on Azure Claw Comics! Here are some drawings I did of my original characters! 🕸️ azureclaw.com 🎨 ko-fi.com/davevincenty... 🅿️ www.patreon.com/azureclaw 💬 azureclaw.com/contact

At one point, Azure Claw Comics could have included space noir -- gritty crime drama, but in space! In this concept sketch, Special Agent Claire Lopez is on the trail of a space murderer! But she's found out too much of the conspiracy underpinning the whole case, and people are turning against her!

Hey #PortfolioDay - I'm Sam! I do #pixelart & #gamedev for my passion project, #Moonshell_Island. It's taking a long time, but I hope you'll enjoy the journey with me as much as I enjoy sharing it! Your support means a lot! 🦀💜 Wishlist: s.team/a/1629660 Subscribe: patreon.com/cheekynauts

I have some film screenings coming up: :)

In the world of Azure Claw Comics, Azzura and Meredith occasionally have to venture into the less-visited parts of town where the Sovereign occupation watches over everything. And sometimes, this leads to danger!

For a turtle, the secret to success is finding your flow~ 🐢 Refreshed this old #pixelart of Tortie the sea #turtle for #pixel_dailies! @pixeldailies.bsky.social

Happy bun day! 🐰 Hop you enjoy those eggs!!! 🧺 #pixelart

Azure Claw Comics character art! For my first mini-comic, "Ninja Thief vs. Undead Hunter", I drew these character models of Izumi Yamazaki and Steve Makar, and I made them transparent and in full color just for fun. You can read that mini-comic here, by the way: azureclaw.com/comic/acc-0a...

LINUX CONVERSION...SUCCESS CRAB-B0T ACTIVATION...COMPLETE FELT CUTE...MIGHT TERMINATE LATER #pixelart

Hi everyone! I have been kind of tired after work sorry I havent been posting much. But I will do my very best to get the new demo version out this weekend!!💕 I will probably remove the old one tomorrow and give the page a make over. Screenshots for today💕 #gamedev

DON'T LET THE BASTARDS GET YOU DOWN 🏳️‍⚧️ #art #tdov #transart

More shorts is more better! Dave's Moonshell Island AU strikes again! 🩳⚔️🦀

Here's another blast from the past! And by "the past", I mean some old drawings I've had sitting around! This one is @goawayimcrabby.bsky.social but she's a JRPG protagonist with a cool sword and the coolest fashion choice possible: three pairs of shorts!

Awww, this Crabby homecoming is so cute!! 🥰

Here's another quick bit of old fan art for #Moonshell_Island by @goawayimcrabby.bsky.social. This is my interpretation of Crabby going home to meet his parents. In my AU, Crabby comes from a family of regular hermit crabs and he's only now realizing how he's become different from them.

Character design is fun! Here are some black-and-white character designs from my second mini-comic, "Enemy of the Earth", which is readable on my website here: azureclaw.com/comic/xi-0b-0

This is a really valuable character design resource! I've got to keep this on hand for later!

At one point, Azure Claw Comics was potentially going to include cool cyborgs with huge laser arms that blast space monsters. I also threw it around as a game idea. So here is a little concept drawing I did of that!

Here's another older drawing. This one features my fighting robot, Three, just relaxing and holding hands with an engineer named Julia Gaston. There are a lot of things to worry about in this high-tech cybernetic future, but at least they have each other. For now.

I feel this way whenever I can be more active here. We may not all know each other well, but kindness is friendship in my book. Old and new, thank you for being my friends! 🦀💜

I absolutely ADORE this one!!! Biggs and Wedge look so cute, and I love all the easter eggs in the scene! Thanks for celebrating the return of Biggs with me, Dave!! 🥹💜

I'm bringing back this old pixel art tribute to @goawayimcrabby.bsky.social and her cats, because I think it's wonderful that Biggs is back and has time to rest and recover!

Hi everyone 🤗 I hope everyone had a beautiful Sunday! I know i'm a day late but will be making a Kofi post and one more devlog tomorrow before new demo release. Stay tuned! ✨️💕 #gamedev

Important for all my friends in the United States!

This is the portrait of Azzura I created some years ago for when I need an Azure Claw Comics profile picture. And by that, I mean, I mostly use it for my Instagram page these days: www.instagram.com/azureclawcom... But I can do more with it! Probably! If I find the right place to put it!
