So, the other day I finished the complete draft of a novel I've been writing. It took me five years and five months but I did it. It stars this lady, Penny Issagloria, and it's set in a world where money is magic, and debt is a curse.
A portrait of a woman, Penny Issagloria, sitting in a basement and studying coins. She looks very busy.

Ha da quick commission yesterday to draw a gangly critter.
A four legged bird, with antlers and wings of smoke and shadows. A mane of octopus tentacles runs down its back like a horse comb.

Stumbled on an old treasure map I was working on for Thing 12 Games. I really need to find the original working file...
An old treasure map depicting an ocean and islands. The ocean is a side shot underwater, filled with fish, kraken and beasts. The land masses throw shadows down into the water like they're physical objects in the water scene.

Swordtember, Day 26: Candy. Today's prompt was supposed to be Harpy, but I already did a bird design with Owl, so someone who had asked for a. Candy sword got their wish.
A gummie, candy sword. The blade looks like a cocktail skewer, the handle is made of sugar-crusted gumdrops, and the scabbard is made from a licorice whip.

Swordtember, Day 25: Bubble
A bubble wand shaped like a sword. The cross guard is made from bottles of Mr. Bub, and a long trail of bubbles are looping lazily around the blade.

Because @toxikoal.bsky.social asked, yeah, I have been drawing the Noita weirdos. I've got almost every critter from the first floor done, but here's a preview of the gunner:
A blue line sketch of the Gunner enemy from the game Noita. He's got his signature shotgun at the ready.

Thanks again for all the love. Here's a random selection of drawings that never got used for one reason or another.
A helmeted figure, with robotic arms and blade legs, running very fast. Their weighted scarf trails behind them, unable to slow them down despite how heavy it is. A black and white image of a dungeon room with a colossal door in the background. It's framed by two cartoonishly oversized columns that get wider as they reach up to the ceiling. The keyhole to open the door is huge, and the frame for it is shaped like an abstract crown. A black and white sketch of seven figures in a tight circle engaged in a furtive conversation. Two of them are passing a note to one another discreetly behind the back of another. A red sketch of several different undead. Left to right, one is huge and has three heads, one is fat with stitches up its side and is belching a plume of noxious gas skyward, one is on fire and probably getting a hankering for some ribs, one is a completely normal walking corpse, and the last is crawling across the ground as it's entrails drag behind it. Under it all is the text, "That Game Wherein Contains Zombies."

Swordtember, Day 22: Swan
A sword made to look like a swan. The neck goes up and back down to form the two sides of the blade. The cross guard is formed from the wings and an embossed scroll with the word, "Lohengrin" on it.

Swordtember, Day 20 & 21: Vapor and Ring.
An industrial sword being pulled from a scabbard that looks like a mix of power tools. Steam is pouring out of the gap as the blade is removed.

Swordtember, Day 20: Birthday
A pirate saber spearing up through a birthday cake. A slice of cake is falling off on the sharp end of the blade. It's my birthday.

An arm with muscles made of sword blades. Where the muscles end, cross guards and handles sprout like quills.

This sword challenge has been extremely good for me. I haven't drawn this regularly since I had a day job that I de-stressed at by drawing post-it-note doodles.
A concrete SQR Bot with an electric firefly build. A pair of interlinked concrete SQR Bots where one is assembled as a high powered turret and the other is its scope/spotter. A concrete SQR Bot that's been set up as a huge door with a keypad for a mouth. A concrete SQR Bot with an antigravity ring, acts as a cargo lifter maybe?

Swordtember, Day 13: Bloom
A chrome sword hilt and cross guard are consumed by a blooming rose where the blade would be. In it's place, petals are being plucked from the flower by the wind before swirling up to form the weapon's rough silhouette.

Swordtember, Day 10: Rodent
A mouse using a sewing needle as a weapon. It has a spool of thread on it's back that leashed to the needle, allowing it to be thrown and recalled.

Four simple long swords casting shadows against a wall. They form the legs of a cat's shadow, but the cat itself isn't visible in the frame.
