Sick of the dark days and miserable weather. Someone should do a Danny Boyle's Sunshine and reignite the sun with nukes every winter.

Enough of the beautiful Alien planets with deadly flora and fauna. It's time for my setting of a really dull and ugly planet that is incredibly safe.

I'm enjoying that the Alien has gone back to hiding in plain sight in the background. Emphasizes that at heart they are sneaky boys. #AlienEarth

I'm gonna give the new Alien show a try, and if Weyland-Yutani are up to their old tricks I'm gonna be furious.

Walked past a toy bow and arrow in a shop the other day and immediately thought "oh that would be good if I was doing a bow build". Some would say I've been playing too many dungeon crawlers.

I've been failing to scan much so here's a bunch of sketchbook drawings. Yes I have been into drawing backpacks lately. #drawing #penandink #coloredpencil #sketchbook
A skinny character wearing a space helmet and revealing their midriff. Drawn in Red slighty brown ink. A little turquoise character with a large forehead and prominent nose holds on to his backpack straps as he walks. A little boy, drawn in red ink and some red crayon, looks worried while wearing a backpack. A little character in baggy clothes peaks out from under a large tartan cap.

Unused "Revenge of Lakitu's Cloud" enemy found in the files of the prototype version of Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga, depicting the cloud riding the Lakitu instead of the usual way around. This enemy did not pass the concept stage and only a single image of it remains.
