I’m recovering from discovering this sad Kakegurui dupe, so let me get back to art! Enjoy some snippets of my work doodles I collaged. #sketchbooktour
A doodle of me from the back on my knees hacking and wheezing. My description underneath reads “Me on death’s door after walking back from Raising Cane’s.” This particular trip to and from Raising Cane’s was after my first bout with COVID and my lungs were not ready. A doodle of a silly looking snake. It reads “Is it a snake or a BrainWorm?” A collage of different doodles. Top drawing of a cow watching a sunset reads “Cows watch sunsets, man!” referencing Tamsyn Muir’s Nona the Ninth. Also referencing The Locked Tomb series is a doodle of soup. Other unrelated doodles include silly doodles of cats, egg-shaped baby chicks, a sleepy me in a blacket hoodie with a bird on my head, and a watermelon that says “Sorry, no cute fruit allowed” next to it.

FUN FACT! In about a month my wife and I are gonna be first time moms to a baby boy! I’ve had fun imagining what lil guy is doing in the womb and doodling pudgy babies! #sketchbooktour
A doodle of a naked baby boy seemingly jumping for joy and smiling with a floating umbilical cord still attached. Writing below reads “what i imagine lil guy is doing in there.” I’ve also drawn sparkles above him ✨ A collection of naked baby doodles with floating umbilical cords. Some babies are scrunched up while others are stretching and doing dynamic poses. One is laying on his tummy with arms outstretched and legs lifted behind him, and he has a cute pudgy baby bum!

BlueSky freaked tf out for a moment after I posted my last post, and these two images kept flashing on and off, and in case you weren’t clear on what I stand for….
Screenshot of 2 Bluesky reposts on my page. Top image is cut off slightly, but it is three silhouetted figures (man, woman, and child) running to the left. Bottom text of that graphic reads RACISTS FUCK OFF. The second repost is a famous picture of Indiana Jones kneeling on the ground, fist raised about to punch a Nazi.

Repost of that one time I drew my depression because I couldn’t stand my typo.
Once upon a time I felt all these huge feelings a lot of the time and they spiraled into this, but it sure is nice to see that a lot of this is behind me now 🧡
Illustration of me in my 20s surrounded by papers, sketchbook, iPad Pro, and laptop with drawing tablet plugged in. I am sitting there, knees up to my chest crying as thought bubbles that look like clouds form above my head, each one getting darker and darker with hopes that turn into fears and feelings of helplessness. The clouds get so big and dark that they create a storm as 2 bolts of lightning strike down on either side of me.

I keep seeing that post that’s like “HUMAN ARTISTS, post one piece to convince people to follow you,” and I’m just looking through my things like

One more late night thought before sleep: this is the quickest I have ever gotten this many followers, even compared to when I used to post regularly on my socials, in my “aspiring VisDev artist” era.

QRP with your 10 or 20 year old art 🖼️

2013 vs 2023. 2025 holds many possibilities ✨
Drawing of a pale selkie girl in a brown and gray spotted seal skin. She is sitting with her legs crossed, arms wrapped around herself, and her back turned toward the viewer. She holds her head up, eyes closed and smiling. Drawing of a Black mermaid with long purple hair with natural curls and a coral mermaid tail. She holds her head high, one eye closed and the other open, looking at the viewer and smiling confidently.

This is the cutest note I’ve ever left myself in Procreate
A comic doodle of myself. There are 2 speech bubbles on either side of me. First (one on the left) reads: FINAL POSES IN THE NEXT FILE! Second (one on the right) reads: SEE YOU THERE! 🖤

Anyway, the story is A Scandal in Bohemia and this is the quote
Screenshot of a Notes app note with a Sherlock Holmes quote from the story A Scandal in Bohemia. It reads: I had seen little of Holmes lately. My marriage had drifted us away from each other. My own complete happiness, and the home-centred interests which rise up around the man who first finds himself master of his own establishment, were sufficient to absorb all my attention; while Holmes, who loathed every form of society with his whole Bohemian soul, remained in our lodgings in Baker Street, buried among his old books, and alternating from week to week between cocaine and ambition, the drowsiness of the drug, and the fierce energy of his own keen nature.

Me the moment my sleep story podcast describes Sherlock Holmes alternating “week to week between cocaine and ambition.”
Doodle of me, a woman with glasses, laying on a pillow and underneath a blanket drawing on my iPad, my jaw dropped at hearing that Sherlock Holmes was alternating “week to week between cocaine and ambition.”

I said I wanted to start making art again. Tonight I drew without caring about the results. I simply played around and created art.
An illustration of a woman in a long red dress from the back. Her hands are clasped casually behind her back as she looks over her shoulder at the viewer. She has pale skin and light blue hair down to her shoulders. She wears aqua eye makeup and lipstick, with a matching forearm tattoo on her right arm. Her lower half is draped in shadow and the tattoo seems to glow.

I finally did it. After getting this game at least 2 years ago, I’ve finally finished The Great Ace Attorney Chronicles. This was so fun and such a wild ride at the end!
One of the ending photos of The Great Ace Attorney Chronicles game. From left to right: Kazuma Asogi, Ryunoskuke Naruhodo, Susato Mikotoba, Herlock Shomles, Iris Wilson, and Wagahai the cat.

QRP with your favorite corvid art (I’m assuming some that I myself have made).

Here’s Flip, my youngest bro in law’s old D&D character 🌸
A drawing of a Kenku from Dungeons and Dragons. They are standing holding a book and pencil. The are wearing a light green top with dark green pants that come down to the knees, orange bandana around their neck, and an orange sash tied around the waist. They are carrying a brown messenger bag across their body and atop their head is a pink flower crown. Their name is flip, and they gaze up and to the right, as if focused on something outside of the frame.
