From what I remember, I would just write different stories abt this guy, “Captain Buttermilk,” and his crew of pirates(?) as they’d travel to different islands to do go on adventures. Islands like…vampire island, meatball island, etc. just an excuse to draw funny stuff I’d thought up that day.

Ok so I’ve never actually drawn these dudes before and I’m not gonna lie I immediately get the appeal. I also think I coincidentally had an extremely similar character to Finn that I’d doodle all the time in high school (which is pre-AT, I am old,) I’m gonna try to remember what he looks like rq

Bluesky is 99% twitter refuge (mostly artists, no rage bait, good vibes)
And 1% tumblr millennial retirement home (people have really hard opinions abt -MJF- on here?)

Death riders not instantly killing Moxley after that speech?

Something I think abt often is Toriyama’s attitude abt character design- I think there’s an interview where he said he liked doing DQ art because he only had to draw a design once-and another where he talked about how hard Cell was to draw over and over in DBZ.

More OC sketchbook- this lady is Rose Gold, and she technically should have been done being a magical girl 10 years ago, but her life post-big-baddie didn’t really work out, and now she’s jaded and not sure what to do with herself.

Tuxedo mask analogue didn’t stick around :/

There are drawbacks to being the shortest magical girl in the group

I want 2026 to be a big year for my OCs, so get ready for a lot of sketchy practice while I try to remember how to draw all of these idiots. This dork is “Master Galaxy,” an amalgamation of Buck Rogers/Flash Gordon types, and he’s the heroic nemesis of Lord Helldeath.

“Sorry, are you saying ELRIC or ERDRICK??”

Expedition 33 but the good ending
December 16, 2025 at 12:29 AM
Got a con coming up in January, thinking I’m gonna do new prints for the first time in a while, I’m thinking Moomin, EXP33 and DQ or Elric if I have time??

Today’s sketchy warm up featuring my favorite superhero comic characters. Maybe my favorite superhero characters that I really want to do an official book for, anyway.

Honestly something that drives me nuts is “baby’s first” being a criticism at all. I loved that E33 was a love letter to tons of games I’ve played. People who are unfamiliar with those games that love it despite not seeing the homage? That’s called being -accessible- and is a GOOD THING.
The thing that's never sat with me re:criticism about Expedition 33 being "baby's first JRPG" is that the people who actually made the game couldn't be more consistently reverent about their influences.
Accepting the 'Game of the Year' award for Clair Obscur Expedition 33, director Guillaume Broche thanks Final Fantasy series creator Hironobu Sakaguchi who "made me fall in love with games and inspired me to become a game dev."

Absolute Batman is funny

Alright so doing a pastiche drawing from traditional inks all the way through coloring is really hard. Anyway, here's Absolute Danhausen after Dragotta's Absolute Batman cover

We love to see strong bad typing up a rant I’m sure I’ve unintentionally recited verbatim

Oh no i remembered they’re fun to draw

Dragon Quest doodle. Playing through the remake of DQ1 right now, and I love how many NPCs bring up their great granpappy and how he helped Erdrick way back when.
“Erdrick had friends with him, why don’t you son? You ain’t got any friends?”

“Yer doing the whole quest solo? You dumb or something?”

Follow up to that last one because it made me laugh

Sketchbook doodle from yesterday. I recently have been playing with the proportions of HD’s “gorget” armor that comes out from under his cowl, I think I like it better bigger, it makes his upper half look kinda weirdly proportioned when it’s small like it is here

I replayed Golden Sun/The Lost age for the first time in uh...I don't want to say 20 years, but...

I wanted to do a fanart piece as a warmup but realized that the character art is largely millenium-era anime nonsense, So I tried some soft redesigns of Felix and Isaac for fun
