#smaugust has started again, I’d love to take part, but it’s unlikely that I’ll have the time. Here’s one I drew with pastels for the 2019 round.

It’s #FanArtFriday… on Saturday?!? Amid all the chaos of #SDCC, I forgot to post yesterday! This week’s CRAZY #FanArt honoree is the great @dgriffstudios.bsky.social Queen of Webcomics! I just had to draw one of Z&F’s funniest moments: Weird Kid going full fanboy in his Ninja Turtle Cosplay!
