Bonus picture of art materials for the snipe eel. I forgot I had a giant black sharpie and all my liquid black ink was dried out, so I broke out the ink stone
Being an artist is silly sometimes
A vignette of an art pad with a slender snipe eel in a hat and scarf with some sharpies and an ink stone and stick (a thingie to grind a dry ink stick into liquid ink often used in traditional Asian media)

@montereybayaquarium.org and @mbarinews.bsky.social are doing a #DeepSeaDecember art challenge (but for some reason not on Bluesky?)

As usual, I'm doing very well on timing.
Day 2 a Giant Pacific Octopus
Day 4 a Chilly Slender Snipe Eel keeping warm

October ended, but I still have more tiles. Fewer rainbows, and more specific color combos. I'm on my last tile, so now I get to decide if I need more (probably)

My descent into rainbow art tile madness continues. I'm kind of into the texture of the watercolor paper over the bristol (third picture is a closeup of the two papers)

More #rainbows! This was my last bristol art tile, but I found that I had some watercolor ones. This whale was already penciled on, so I colored it in.

Whelp that was unexpected. I didn't actually think you won this game :V
I continued to play for another hour or so after this, so winning was no hurdle to missing my bedtime again
Good job @folly.studio

Rainbows! I did the individual spectrum, so it felt like rainbow tiles was the logical next step.
I decided that the second one looked good with thin black lines instead of thick ones.

Here is the orange and yellow tile. I had to tone down the neon orange sharpie because it washed out the other oranges. The neon yellow is nice though

It's October, and these are ink, so I'm calling it #inktober
Maybe #SharpieTober since this is all sharpie on art tiles.
I've been working on these fancy doodles when my brain needs a rest (which is often)

Yesterday's #AprilColors2025 was the Toco Toucan. I got about 90 percent done with this before I realized that I didn't understand the shape of the beak :V

#AprilColors2025 day 6 was slimy, so I drew this lamprey that I saw at the Shed Aquarium in Chicago. All of the descriptions I have read describe it as having a slimy body
