So for the past few months I've avoided uploading much (and took a general light internet break) because my arms have been injured and I've been waiting for them to heal to a more comfortable level. It's basically tennis elbow and in ~both~ my elbows, so things like drawing and typing have been dif…
As much as I like Weasyl (and it's v nice admins), and as much as I'd like to see it grow, managing the number of sites I do is pretty draining and this place is persistently quiet. Uploading here is a def more manageable with waxpost (wish more sites had apps like that!!), and I'll probably keep p…
So I've been running on about two spoon a day this month. Had a lot of noise problems from neighbors while trying to get things done and generally pretty flattened with depression and anxiety. Been really slow, really arduous to get work done. But I have some projects I'm excited to get working on,…
My name and gender change officially went through today just in time for New Years (and I didn't even have to appear in court)! Just need to change my records now and I won't have to worry about this nonsense again :D
I'm generally not a fan of getting political publicly, mostly because I have no interest in inviting arguments when I can do more enjoyable things, but I started explaining the reason why it was difficult to get some comic pages out early on my Patreon, and apparently felt the need to share this! U…
Just a reminder that until the end of October I'm making $30 printmake-y kind of style commissions, akin to these fellas: 1 2 3 4 5 6 Note me if you're interested!
Because I'm finally getting around to setting up a Society6 shop and am picking out all the things I wanna put up on there, so if you have anything in particular I've already got posted that you'd like to see in frames or on some clothes or phones or whatever, I'll take it into consideration :V! I…
Probably half the people out here are playing, and every time I go to the park, every single person there is, me included. It's a pretty amazing game, but I'm starting to see a lot of team hate going around, which is gross. I'm thinking something like an NPC team rocket that occasionally takes over…
We are quickly collecting small animals. Not only did we catch a mouse in the kitchen recently, but Brice brought home an abandoned ~8-9 day old sparrow he found in the alley at work. I have been caring for him over the past day or two and he seems preeetty okay with his situation. Seems to be hand…
I ended up taking something of an accidental hiatus because Dragon Age Inquisition took over. I just HAD to load it onto my new laptop with the intent to save it for later (hint: I did not save it for later). So. Like often with large, story-heavy games I pick up, I obsess over it for roughly 2 wee…
Just got in a new laptop the other day - literally the most recent model of the one I had previously - and am pretty in love with it. Moving over didn't take long and it gave me the opportunity to tidy up all my things. Also it seems like Adobe let me activate my software without having to deactiva…
I'm looking at new laptops and am torn between getting a newer one with Win 10 or an older one with 8. I would prefer 7 but have literally not a single ounce of interest in buying and installing it separately. I know a lot of not-so-fun things about 10 and have had a lot of not-so-fun things happen…
First, thanks for all the responses! It's just interesting to hear everyone's thoughts and see what kinds of influence concepts like divination have (and it's handy for some currently secret purposes) and I really appreciate the thought some of you went into. So for fairness in sharing thoughts, an…
What are your opinions? Do you follow or use them? Why or why not? What about other kinds of divination - I Ching, tarot, etc.? I'm working on a project right now that revolves around forms of divination (I will reveal what in particular that is around the beginning of March~) and decided it would…
Devon, Wisp, Wynter and Wei have all been updated for Don’t Starve’s new DLC Shipwrecked! Now you, too, can play a cat trapped on an island - I'm sure a lifelong dream for all of us.

I got a super bad cold or something and haven't been doing a lot for the past week or two, but I feel super great about myself today and I felt like sharing that because its nice to hear that other people feel nice sometimes. I also wanted to thank y'all for being little peaches that brighten up my…
I recently got Aviary Attorney, one of the few games I've been excited enough to play that I bought it almost immediately when it came out. The game is a crime-solving visual novel set in in 19th century France just before a revolution, and is styled in ink drawings befitting that era. It's charmin…
A guy asked me “what’s up, kiddo?” at the gas station today and I wished I had stopped to say more than “Not a whole hell of a lot.” while staring at a wall of chips. His voice was amazing - if Tom Waits’ was a bit deeper and somehow even rougher. I feel the need to advise him to look into voice ac…
I've tried updating my graphics drivers several times now and every time it's crashed mid-installation. I seem to have developed a lot of anxiety and phobia regarding the functionality of my computer over the years and I cannoooot deal with this crap anymore @n@ May either pay someone else to do it…
thank you for following me, I really appreciate your support and kind words iui I know I can get quiet and distant and forget to post a lot, and I'm thankful that y'all tolerate my bullshit enough to stick around and chat and leave comments and love (and even donate! Holy shit!!). It really helps m…
Brice just bought The Yawhg on steam and we gave it a playthrough with us and our two friends claiming a character. It's more or less a game where you can control between 1 and 4 characters over a period of turns before the mysterious Yawhg comes. Where you go and what you do can impact the world i…
I recently caught a post on tumblr by littlewitchcurry regarding the physical health of artists in association to this concept, and added some more in regards to mental health, myself, because it can be pretty readily intertwined. I felt the need to share it with the rest of the art-types, so I fig…
So I've been working on a Defans Amis short animation over the past month and a half or so. A pretty notable feat considering it was 7-8 weeks to go from start to finish on a 17 minute long animation. I haven't been sleeping much. I started working on it because I had been sitting on some plans to…
go watch Dear Zachary:A Letter to a Son About His Father. Its currently on Netflix and is a documentary made to explain and share the life of about a man who was murdered by his ex to their son and, avoiding spoilers (which I'm very glad I was clean of before watching) the response of his friends a…
A couple of people have noted that Boneworm is similar to the infectious fungus in The Last of Us. I didn't know anything about this game until it was mentioned, so looked up a bit of the lore and they're pretty dang similar (fairly unsurprising since they're both visually impactful fungus infectio…
I've been reworking the Defans Amis universe and have more or less finished developing the cause of the apocalypse: boneworm. Boneworm is a parasitic fungus that pretty much left the world to be decaying remnants of human civilization. In a very short period of time, it managed to infect nearly eve…
I don't think I can wait for the next season of Rick and Morty. Definitely my favorite running show right now.
So way back when, Defans Amis was just Alette and Beau in a writing group called Umbagog, where anyone could build characters and have them run around the group's universe, writing with and off of each other. A lot that I was excited about for Alette and Beau was for them to interact with other peo…
It was nice, I don't go to social events a lot due to my generalized hermitism keeping me away from people and my depression making me pretty immobile, but it was enjoyable and I came back with some nice comics. I'd like to have a booth at one eventually, just gotta get the energy and materials :V…
Curious about what streaming platforms you guys prefer or use? I'm using picarto right now but have no idea how accessible that is for people ordinarily (I'm pretty sure you have to sign up to chat, for instance, which is silly)
I did while drinking hazelnut coffee with a scoop of pumpkin ice cream and talking about how to make Devon's life worse (and also how to make it better, but that's not nearly as much fun).
I was recently confronted by a musician looking for an animation to compose and play a live performance to. I took it as an opportunity to make some ambient animations of Alette and Beau that I had been sitting on for a while, got a little ahead of myself and wrote out a 17 minute long animation co…
By the last two Defans Amis comic update images being right next to each other in my gallery. It's just a steady zoom out. I'm half tempted to avoid uploading anything else and make the next one even further out just to continue the pattern.
And after shaving yesterday, I learned that I look better with it. It's kind of ironically surreal how normal it feels to have it there. After 3 years or so on T, it's filled out pretty well, although I know it's still got some more to do. My voice has also pretty much settled in, it seems. All is…
Basics Name: Lorne Colt Nickname: cowboypunk, I guess? It tickles me because sometimes people will just say 'cowboy' for brevity and I always give them some sort of western film character's voice in my head. Location: KC MO Age: 26 (...I think) Height: 5'3-4''? Zodiac sign: Taurus Pets: just a cat,…
So funfact about me, apparently my some-number-of-greats uncle was basically the founder of Branson, Missouri. After that basically none of my family moved from there. If you haven't been to Branson, I can describe it generally as a hell of minigolf courses and duck themed busses where 90% of thing…

Anyone know some hetero couples who's marriages I can ruin? As I understand it, the agenda dictates that we are now obligated to seek them out, wed them, and upturn their existing marriages.
I just finished putting together a gumroad store, where I’ve put some comic and art collections up. All of my archival collections are free/pay-as-you-please! I have a handful of new comics that will be showing up there soon, too! https://gumroad.com/lornecolt https://gumroad.com/lornecolt https://…
Is there anything you'd like to see there in particular?
Nabbed from sixrabbits A. What are your favorite smells? Most things food (peaches and lemonade are favorites for this time of year), plants and rain. Also raw beef. Idk what it is but I can't get enough of it before I cook it. B. Can you go a whole day without caffeine? Yeah, I go tons of days wit…
I've been wanting a tablet for the sake of writing and doodling outside of my house (waaay more convenient than carrying 2-3 books and supplies around with me, and I can connect to my working docs online instead of rewriting all my notes bleh) and am sifting through the myriad of tablets available,…
I made the mistake of not letting myself forget that a new season of Orange is the New Black this month and now I am aching for it aaauuugh
I finally got around to making a tumblr specifically for reblogging art that I find particularly inspiring if y'all want to give it a follow and maybe find some rad new artists to stalk! http://coltsperation.tumblr.com/ http://coltsperation.tumblr.com/ http://coltsperation.tumblr.com/
I've had this up for a while, but have little to no sense of self-worth so I never got around to announcing it in any useful manner, but I have a Patreon to help produce all the things I like to share for free. I'd hugely appreciate any donations or even if you share this UuU <3 Every dollar you do…
Because I love them and need more :u Any favorite mystery movies or shows? :> Edit: For whatever reason it didn't occur to me that people would bring up real-life mysteries, I was just thinking of tv shows and shit (probably because I've been watching too much Hitchcock), but this is also very acce…
My friend got me Westerado for my birthday last weekend and I just finished it up. Apparently, everyone insisted that was a game that was made for me and they were right ._. Obviously, its about cowboys, so I inherently want to like it. It sets up a good mood, is super pretty, tugs nostalgic, and k…
How are you? I hope you're doing good. If not, have an e-smooch, you're lovely.
I've just finished moving over Pauvres Defans Amis to tumblr as the host site of the comic (as opposed to blogger, which was originally just simpler to set up and link to a custom domain). It should be a little easier to update and follow now, and got a nice makeover! You can follow it and read the…

So I've been pretty quiet for a month or two now. This is for a variety of reasons overwhelmingly biased towards the "assloads of work" option. Being dissatisfied with the vagary of many online generators, the lack of some generator subjects like food and plants, and needing/wanting some fairly spe…
I really hate being inactive I always feel so guilty i_i News updates though: I'm working on a music video that I have a lot of creative control on and is p fun. Plotting some future comic stuff and have a pretty big backlog of sketches and art I need to upload, too. Been doing - - - Pauvres Defans…
I don't being inactive, but I've ha a mix of silly problems and time-intensive projects lately. Been getting issues in my laptop that all point to a power problem (new battery isn't charging, occasional random freezing or shutdown, second hard drive missing once) and the power jack is a little loos…
I love to hear about trans people finding the words to describe themselves, moving ahead with their own unique transitions and beginning to find stability and understanding in their lives and identities. I am so goddamn proud of you and so excited for your future. Your lives are hard in a way that…
I've discovered that I'm largely asexual. Been filled with testosterone for a year and a half, with steadily decreasing depression and steadily more noticeable extreme lack of interest in sex. I'm fairly convinced that the interest I had before was due to pressure from a previous abusive relationsh…
My mouse got better! Randomly one day. That seems to usually be how mice get sick. Just wake up one morning and they're utterly pathetic and then back to normal another.
I'm really excited to be so close to finishing this little game. I've had a lot of personal crap, mostly ridiculous depression, holding me back the past couple of months, but we're basically sitting on the tail end of expanding our Ludum Dare project, One Way Out. We'll be posting it online free to…
I found a bunch of clayboard I had saved up from...something or other. I have only nine of them left over and will use them for commissions until I'm out. They're pretty freaking awesome for fur detailing and typically have a pretty brooding/moody appeal. They can be colored traditionally or digita…
My sleep schedule lately has been totally nonsensical lately. It's been twice a day for 2 and 4 hours. It's not a very good sleep schedule, but it won't stop happening, dammit! Anyway, I'm a detrimentally hesitant and cautious person with pretty shitty self confidence and social anxiety, so I decid…
One of our three mice has gotten sick and lost tons of weight.It's just ridiculously sad to see a little skeletal mouse creak and hobble around their tank. She seems to be getting a little better though an her buddies give her lots of cuddles.
For as long as I can remember, I've been detrimentally detached from reality; moreso in my adolescence than my early childhood. I had extremely unrealistic expectations of my abilities and the thoughts and actions of others, whether positive, negative or simply impossible. I spent as much time as h…
You're one of my favorite art sites. For the time I've been on here (what, like a year and a half now???) I've only seen improvments. It feel like the creators are very open to questions and criticism, and are genuinely concerned with the interest and experience of all the site's users. It's just a…
My partner seems to be having some computer issues (looks like an(some) update(s) didn't install correctly and it's causing some obnoxious issues). All scans have come up clean and I'm fairly certain I've figured out what to do, it's just acting a little unexpectedly at times, so it's difficult to…

Been a little inactive online lately to get some tedious work out of the way. I'm usually significantly more active on my tumblr and twitter. I've been editing and significantly expanding the game we made last December for Ludum Dare (because why waste all those assets??). I've just finished all ma…
From Teavian! I'll give you 5 questions to answer if you leave a comment saying "toy dinosaurs"! How did you get ideas for Devon? He was originally made to be a flamboyantly sassy gay character that insisted on being called "Devahn", but it turns out I'm horribad at role playing that sort of person…
Pretty much always tempted to do these when they come up. What's your real name? Lorne Names you go by? Lorne or Colt. Generally prefer Colt How old are you? 24 How old do you feel/act? I feel human old. I act hermit old. How tall are you? A whopping 5'4 What's your natural hair color? Poop What's…

You can play the game here: http://lennaerthohe.nl/cave/ You only have one try. If you die, you can continue playing the game, but you'll be a ghost that haunts other players. Be quick because your light only has so much time, but not too quick because it'll burn out fast if you run a lot. Keep an…
Just ended the frantic, sleepless three day workfest that is Ludum Jam. We had a team of 6 people and while I think we could very well have accomplished this one, we had a lot of major technical problems (like our main engineer's computer dying, and our SVN files being corrupted on multiple occasio…
So I've spent the past month I've been playing Project Zomboid and have decided it will likely be one that I will mod the poop out of. (Along with Don't Starve. I clearly have a bias towards survival games...P.S. I'm thinking of making a survival/adventure game) projectzomboid.com/ In any case, go…

A few days ago I started working with a couple of guys on a submission for the Ludum Dare competition, where people have to make a game according to a voted theme within a very short period of time (either two or three days, depending on how you enter.) The theme was "minimalism", so we went for si…

My partner and I apparently require small rodents every couple of years (to satiate our thirst of cuteness) and this year we got five fancy mice and named them each after the main characters of our in-production comic, Wayfaring Strangers.

Of uploading everything onto here :I I will be splitting this up into several days for the sake of sanity. I like the category/folder system, though. I have enough crap by now that it's very beneficial!
