Here is "The Sorrow" the (also unused) companion piece to "The Joy". This one originally had a super-spoilery title (as did "Joy", for that matter). Again, the sequence in which this would've been used was cut.
I will definitely use this one elsewhere later.

It's been a while since I've shared anything on here, so here is an unused piece of music from my #DreamsPS5 game "WHITE LIGHT". It's called "The Joy", and was written for a segment of the game I totally shit-canned. I may revisit it in something else later, though.

Well, that's another #inktober on the books! Today's prompt was "AWARD", so here is yours! Congratulations, everyone! You've earned it! Exclamation!

The #inktober prompt today was "VACANT", so I drew the first thing that came to mind...this little dude. People say orange cats only have one brain cell, but I'd argue they have at least two. They just need frequent reboots.

"LESSON" was today's #inktober prompt, and I decided on a bit of #ONEPIECE. One of my favorite moments in any story I've ever consumed is when Jaguar D. Saul teaches little Nico Robin to laugh through the pain and darkness of her loneliness, because one day, she'll have friends she can laugh with.

"SKELETAL" was today's #inktober prompt, so I decided to draw a couple of characters from a kids/teens book I hope to write in the nearish future. Skeletony and Skeletonya, the Skeletwins, are the spirits of a set of twins who died and were trapped in an amulet.

"ONION" was the #inktober prompt for today, so I decided on a PSA. Do not, under any circumstance, feed your cats (or anybody else's) onion. It's extremely toxic to them, even in small amounts, and can cause them an array of serious health problems.

"PUZZLING" was today's #inktober prompt. Most people think cats eat the center out of their dish, and ask for more food like there isn't still food left. In reality, it's just difficult for them to eat from the edges. Either shake the bowl up for them or get a more cone-shaped or tilted dish.

The #inktober prompt for today was "INFERNO", so I did a hasty redraw of KC Green's classic "This is fine" meme of a dog in burning house. Sorry, doggo. It is not, in fact, fine. It never was.

I forgot to post my #inktober sketch earlier! The prompt was "ROWDY", and I don't think of the word rowdy without Roddy Piper after it. Since it's October, I went with his appearance in John Carpenter's "THEY LIVE"!
He ended up looking like a Regular Show character...

Today's #inktober prompt was "FIREFLY", so, naturally, I drew the entire (mostly featureless) crew of Serenity from Firefly. I love the whole crew, and it's a shame we didn't get to see more of them, but that's the way it goes sometimes.

The #inktober prompt for today was "BUTTON", so I decided to depict the pressing of my favorite button--the one that releases the bees cats store within to produce their purs. Go on...press the button. Feel the joy.

The #inktober prompt for today was "BLAST", so I drew the first thing that came to mind...the ki blast clash between Son Goku and Vegeta, back in the early days of #DragonBallZ. I feel like I redrew that whole page when I was in middle school. I'll have to look through my boxes.

Today's #inktober prompt was "ARCTIC", and when I think of the Arctic, the first thing that comes to mind is always polar bears, so that's what I attempted to draw. I'm happy with the way this turned out, but I apologize for my chicken scratch. If you can read it, a round of applause to you!

"DEAL" was today's #inktober prompt, so I thought "cards...but why?", then I decided the why was Gambit. If you didn't know, Gambit, who I--very poorly--drew here, is an #XMen character. He charges small objects with kinetic energy, and throws them exploding them. Usually playing cards.

The #inktober prompt for today was "ORNATE", so I drew a chonky loaf cat wearing an ornate crown. The only authority I recognize is chonky loaf cats. Nothing else.

Today's #inktober prompt was "BLUNDER", which immediately made me think of someone (Joker?) calling Robin "the boy blunder" on the old Batman cartoon, so I drew...this thing. Batman's really scraping the bottom of the barrel, but I guess an orphan is an orphan. Is he hungry or stupid? You decide!

Almost forgot to post today's #inktober! The prompt was "RAGGED", and the first thing that came to mind was to draw a mangy (but happy) street dog. He's been through some shit, but he's still kicking! It's okay to pet him. He may look rough, but he's very gentle and good with humans.

A little late with my #inktober entry for the day. The prompt was "TRUNK", so here is an elephant--with emphasis on its trunk!

The #inktober prompt for today was "DRINK", so I botched up this drawing of my favorite manga drunkard, #RoronoaZoro, from #OnePiece. Apologies to Eiichiro Oda for massacring his character.

I've finally upgraded to PS5, and just in time to get #AlanWake2 (no spoilers, please) for free. I've wanted to play this one quite badly (especially after my brother who doesn't even like horror games sung its praises), and it's already delivering.
Here's a shot I took in its photo mode. #PS5Share

The #inktober prompt for today was "SHREDDED", so I did what came naturally. I drew a block of sentient cheese who is very upset he was born with the misfortune of being being delicious, but is definitely more upset that his bottom half is being torn apart for mac & cheese.

"STING" is today's #inktober prompt. I should've waited for today to draw a wasp, but there are other kinds of sting. So, I flipped a coin between Sting (of Police fame) and Sting (of WCW fame). The coin chose WCW, and I drew him--in his post-Shelley Webster murder glory, for Halloween.
