Streaming in ~30 mins. Ending the week once more by drawing the rest of the 1st Gen Pokemon from memory, giving myself 1 minute for each, and just losing my mind progressively over the next few hours

as you can see i did REALLY well last time

twitch.tv/heartofpack
part of a 151 pokemon poster, with the various pokemon drawn crudely and quite incorrectly. it's hard to explain, but it's not much better than stick figures. except for magnemite who i managed to get really right?

look, i'm not proud of most of everything from that stream, but this was a pretty good growlithe right??

(don't ask about anything around it)
Digital art of a badly drawn Growlithe. It's just an orange egg with a mane and tail and a round shape vaguely like a mouth and nose.

Sorry for the lack of art, I have been having health drama.

In other news, my brother got me the LOTR Lego Shire set (in his words “you need a win”) and I’ll be building it on stream while rambling LOTR trivia. In an hour (7pm AEST)

Come and hangout twitch.tv/heartofpack

Digital art: A Dragon Turtle towering over a ship with Jester casting polymorph. The image is teals and blues with a pop of pink to indicate Jester’s spell. Digital art: A beach by a city, with two people, Caleb and Veth, a man and a halfling, sit and watch the sunrise. The light in the clouds looks like a distant flame. Digital art: Cerrit, an Eisfuura rogue from Exandria Unlimited: Calamity wielding his tomahawks. He is backlit by a bright blue light with a fine gold circle around his head with lines extending out, like a stylised sun. In the background is the darkened city of Avalir. Digital art: Caduceus stands amoungst the corrupted trees of an Aeorian ruin. His staf flares with purple light and sparks light up and drift around him, bathing the area in low purple and blue light.

"Be not afraid." Digital art of a biblically accurate furby painted in multiple colours, mainly pinks, oranges and blues. It has three eyes, six wings, and two rings around it. The rings have multi-coloured eyes in an alternating pattern. A dark orb filled with stars and bursting with rays of light is behind it.

Nah, defo thinking of Perth. 1930s-1970s apparently
A black and white photo from the 1930s depicting Luna Park Perth’s entrance, with a terrifyingly large open mouth clown masquerading as an entrance

Having a staring contest
The entrance to Luna Park Sydney. It’s a massive smiling clown head, with wide eyes and the top half of its toothsome smile. The actual entry is through its open mouth, passing under terribly large teeth that look ready to bite down on you.
