This was such a treat!
As a still, very much devoted BW fan (observe the gang! 👇❤️) it's always wonderful to see folks acknowledge the sheer depth of this beautiful toy ad.
Also Dinobot was the character I looked up to & Black Arachnia was the character I wanted TO BE (or not to be..)

Whilst Dragonair is my fave Pokémon, the thing I'm most nostalgic for is the music & 2D pixel art of the Bug catching contest.
I'm toying with a further tattoo idea..

Whilst a chalk white Devimon is a good look, I've always rankled at character designs that are exact copies of existing ones with a palette swap. I imagined him in teal with a pop of warmth for contrast & few unique touches to distinguish him more.

Oh hey art friends, when you post a drawing that's, say a full person, do you post it with a second close crop (so facial or small details are more visible) in The Same post like this one below, or in a follow up one?
BC I'm never sure which is the best way to present a piece on here.

My new tattoo! 🦈✨
Still healing, but ever since I saw @cgpgrey.bsky.social explain the rebelliously playful SHARKS! floating art by London collective, Antepavilion, I was so charmed.
Initially removed in an ongoing dispute, I was delighted when I went to London & saw one of them still afloat.
