Patriotic Pumpkin Party

Prompt

A Halloween pumpkin with a horrified face that serves as a poutine bowl. Melting cheese curds are coming out of its mouth, there are French fries coming out of the hole on top. Brown gravy sauce is pouring out of its eyes, nose and makes a puddle of sauce.

Theme

It's october and Halloween is coming soon. I know Halloween is not celebrated everywhere in the world, and that's the reason I wanted to make this challenge.

The goal of the challenge is to have a carved Halloween pumkin that represents your country, state, province or city. As I live in Quebec, I made sure my Halloween pumpkin had something to do with Poutine, one meal that Quebec is known for. Please in your answer, post what country / territory / city your pumpkin represents. The carvings could show a flag, your national animal, or whatever you think represents where you live.

Voting process

This challenge will follow a slightly different format. Everyone can submit their image to this post. At the end of the week all images will be collected and shared in a new voting post wherein people can vote on their favorite image. This will be up for at least 24 hours before a winner is made.

There are no extra points to be earned, OP will decide on a winner in case of a tie.

I hope this format will give everyone the opportunity to take their time and have an equal chance at earning votes. It can be a one-off if this turns out to be too time consuming or impractical.

Episode 26.

Lyra embarks on a mission to investigate the progress of Mars' terraforming, discovering that the planet has evolved in ways she never imagined. Their return to The Key is interrupted by an emergency call from a mysterious ship, leading to an encounter with a sentient AI. The AI’s final words leave Lyra stunned, as a shocking revelation unfolds.

Here are the first panels. You can find the rest here : https://linktr.ee/radianthuntress

Prompt: Skeletor from The Masters of the Universe, with his blue skin and yellow skull face, walking on the catwalk during a fashion show and wearing a super extravagant orange costume, with an extra wide orange hat, extra high heels on his shoes, and purple spots all over his costume. He is holding a staff which is adorned with a goat's skull. --s 250 --v 6.1

Theme

Times are hard for supervillains, and some of them are trying their luck at modeling for fashion shows. And like real fashion shows, it's always a little ridiculous or cringe. The more ridiculous, extravagant, excentric, the better. I was about to say that you shouldn't use the supervillain's associated color (like Skeletor is usually blue or purple), however, some might use supervillains from Anime or some other media I'm not aware of, so I didn't create a rule for that. However, I suggest not to use their usual color. If you use Darth Vader, don't make him wear something black :)

Like previous entries, take your time! Some of you can be super fast (me included) and the early bird often catches the worm. So for this challenge I’m subtracting a point for anyone who posts within 24 hours. It's not ideal, and I know it's not something everybody likes, but we should settle that outside the contest I think.

Happy reading!

TL;DR : I create weekly SF comics just for the fun of it, using screenshots, AI and FIgma, and you can read them on my Facebook page.

So, I'm following the podcast "Starfield with normal people", and participate to their weekly Starfield Adventure Club that's organized on their Discord server. This eventually made me want to create a Starfield cartoon.

I never thought I had such a talent for storytelling. After a very tough 2023, Starfield helped me go through depression. And now those comics are part of my recovery as well. But things are not always fun, and I think it would encourage me to get feedback and ideas from readers.

I use a lot of AI to help me with this comic, which is the most fun part. ChatGPT helps me with dialogues. I feed him what I want my characters to say and he suggest lines, which I often combine for the funniest effect. I've been using some Midjourney as well for cover pages and especially for the prologue in the first episode. For those who want to know, I use Figma to put all of that together.

In this post, I uploaded my one favorite panel of each episode (I have 14 so far). Hope you'll enjoy.

If you want to read my comic, and get updates, the easiest way is through my Facebook page. I also post them on DeviantArt, but this website is making things super hard to any non-paying member and I don't know how long i'll keep using it.

You don't have to love it, or even read it. Just be nice please. I'm getting through shit.

Thanks, all!

The prompt is in the title.

Don't ask why.
