Happy Halloween! I made a new sUBLIME comic, starring my BDSM fruit people, and an unexpected #spooky guest star! More comics & pinups at my Patreon:
patreon.com/martinwhitmore

#halloween #comic #art #pinup #beetlejuice
2-panel comic strip. Panel 1: voluptuous green woman with a lime wedge for a head, holding the Necronomicon with a ball gag in the mouth of the face on its cover. “Behold, the NecroDOMicon! Bound in fruit leather, inked in beet juice…” From the background, a yellow woman with a lemon wedge for a head, “Beet juice?” Panel 2: from off-screen, “Beet juice!” A man with a beet for a head, dressed as Beetlejuice is holding the sides of the frame, as if taking control of the scene. He yells, “IT’S SHOWTIME!”

Happy Halloween!

Cartoon style illustration of a collection of spooky monsters in a police lineup holding number placards.

A new comic for spooky season! …more like a pinup with a caption, but I had fun making it! There’s a spicier version - but it’ll cost you! 😉

#halloween #pinup #biglady #demonlady #fantasy #spooky #noai
Cartoon pinup illustration of a large, muscular demon woman towering over a blonde human woman dressed in a sexy devil costume, looking both frightened and aroused. Caption reads: “Miss, are you aware that impersonating a demon is a very serious offense?” The large demon lady’s expression is flirtatious.

"Gnome Away from Home!" is visiting #whataburger Y'all want anything? With stickers from artists I see all over Austin - Drib, Joel Ganucheau, and Daniel Johnston. Hope you enjoy these as much as I do!
...don't worry, he's getting an extra for his #opossum friend!
#art #drawing #noai #practicalart
Cartoon illustration of a gnome with a red conical hat riding on the back of an opossum, going through the drive thru of a Whataburger. On the opossum's back is a howdah made from leather saddlebags and a Whataburger table tent, with the number 42. Strapped to the side of the opossum is a 7.5 oz can of Dr Pepper secured with rope, which has been tapped with a spigot. A prickly pear cactus sits behind the drive thru menu and ordering box. The order box has been decorated with stickers, depicting art from various Austin artists (Drib's bird character, Joel Ganucheau's skull design, and Daniel Johnston's 'Hi How Are You' mural). The gnome is gesturing to indicate he is ordering two of something, presumably to share with his opossum friend.

Forgot to mention: the coin returns are translucent red! I’m gonna install a light so the screen and the coin slots light up!

I made something fun, just for me! I love the JoyToy TMNT figures, and I decided they should have an arcade game to play in their off hours. No 3D printing, built by hand! These are in 1:18 scale, about 4” tall.
#miniature #arcade #tmnt #actionfigures #handmade
1:18 scale arcade game. Marquee reads “Chainsaw Unicorn,” with stars around it. On the side, a unicorn with a chainsaw for a horn faces off against zombie unicorns. Joysticks and buttons are pink. The cabinet features two transparent red coin slots. 1:18 scale arcade game. Marquee reads “Chainsaw Unicorn,” with stars around it.

Got my copy of the Helluva Town RPG, makes me want to draw more classic cartoon characters! I particularly like her space scooter.
#classiccartoon #rubberhose #cartoon #helluvatown #pinup #toon #retrofuture #raygun
Cartoon illustration of a cartoon character drawn to mimic a classic cartoon style. A woman in a red spacesuit with red hair pulled back into a ponytail that protrudes from her bubble space helmet poses with her ray gun, one foot standing on a small green meteorite embedded in the surface of a small planet. Behind her is a spaceship that looks like it was made by replacing the back half of a Vespa scooter with a jet engine with classic automobile fins added to it. The name "ATOMIC ANNIE" is displayed in cartoon block letters, with an illustration of an atom in the center of the "O".

Hand drawn cartoon illustration of a cozy scene.

Sometimes I cast them in transparent colors, and put little brains in their heads.

Sometimes I also play with sculpting/molding/casting in resin. Just made these little #glowinthedark guys the other day! They’d make good #meeples I think.
#sculpting #resin
Eleven small figures (about 1 inch tall) cast in translucent green resin. Their round featureless heads account for about 1/3 of their height. They have round bellies, short arms that are rounded at the ends, and no legs. Their body sits directly on their feet. They are glossy and smooth. The eleven small humanoid figures from the previous image are shown in total darkness, glowing a bright green light.
