I could really go for being held softly like this. 🤲🐊

Happy Halloween everyone! I apologize for for finishing this one so late!
A possum dressed like an astronaut, a bat dressed as a witch, a puffin in a handmade monster costume, and a pigeon dressed like a mage stand together with bags full of candy on Halloween.

I should be drawing something fall-related but instead we get this sketch because it’s comfy-cozy.
A seagull and otter sit on a boardwalk pier. They are both holding on to a fishing rod.

When someone commented "I love this so much!!!" on the sketch, I knew I had to give it color and finish the drawing. 🐦🦦🐊
A seagull named Fry, an otter named Yogurt, and an alligator named Relish sit at a table outside and enjoy some donuts. The background is a scenic sky with clouds around early evening / sunset. They appear to be under the shade of a tree.

Today I learned you can “borrow” books online and I used this knowledge to grab two pages from Michael Bedard’s “Sitting Ducks” (From someone else’s copy of the same edition I own physically). You all should find yourselves delightful things to read.
A page from a picture book called “Sitting Ducks” by Michael Bedard. The image shows a duck and alligator at a restaurant. The rest of the restaurant patrons and the waiter are alligators. The waiter points to the day’s special: Duck Soup A page from a picture book called “Sitting Ducks” by Michael Bedard. Pictured is an alligator and a duck in bed together at night.

From "Sitting Ducks" by Michael Bedard. Published by Penguin Books, 1998. Presented without context.
Text from a 1998 Picture book called "Sitting Ducks" by Michael Bedard. It reads "As their friendship grew and grew, the alligator thought less and less about eating the little duck. They even tried going out together, but it proved to be very awkward." This text has no relation to the next image. Illustration from a 1998 Picture book called "Sitting Ducks" by Michael Bedard. An alligator and duck are pictured lying in bed together under a checkered blanket. The alligator and duck have a worried expression like something is keeping them awake at night.

Lately I've found myself sketching ideas and leaving them alone for a bit. Sometimes I'll get the sudden inspiration to draw it later on, and some of my favorite drawings started out as things I didn't fully figure out at first before working on and finishing later.
A drawing of an alligator named Relish. He is pictured singing into a microphone, facing to his left, the viewer's right. He wears a bowtie, a button-up shirt with sleeves rolled up, and pants. He holds his right arm out in the air with his hand open. A drawing of an alligator named Relish. He is pictured standing comfortably and facing left. He wears a button up shirt with the sleeves rolled up, and pants. Accessories include small squared glasses, an ID badge clipped on to the pocket of the shirt, a neck tie, and a belt. He holds the ultimate office accessory: A mug that reads "World's Best Gator" A drawing of an alligator named Relish who wears a button-up shirt with the sleeves rolled up, a bowtie, and pants. It is a really rough sketch of this alligator facing to the left but in a 2/3 profile kind of view, noticing the viewer and gesturing like he's waving at them. A drawing of an alligator named Relish and a tiny duck the artist wants to call Bud. The alligator faces left and duck faces right. Both wear swim trunks. The duck wears sunglasses on his forehead instead instead on in front of his eyes. They appear to be dancing and smiling.

An alligator named Relish showing off a wall of various papers and images that link to eachother via string and push pins. Like Charlie Day's character from that episode of "It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia."

An example of "Just get it done first, you can make it perfect later". The original was a rough colored sketch I thought about sharing but I didn't. Some weeks later I revisited the pose, changed it up, added another character, and still roughly got the same feel as the original.
A colored sketch of an alligator smiling on top of a surfboard. He holds his arms, legs, and tail out and appears to be soon to fall off the wave. This version is a rough colored sketch. A drawing of a cartoon alligator on top of a surfboard facing right. He holds his arms and legs out and appears to be getting ready to fall off a wave. On his right arm is a small duck facing left with arms flapped out. They're both smiling. This version is the final version with color, linear, shading and effects. On the bottom right is a signature watermark that says Relish 2025

Big waves, even bigger fun! 🌊🦆 🐊
A full color drawing of an alligator riding an ocean wave on a surfboard. He wears patterned blue swim trunks and a happy smile as he pulls off surfing. On top of his right arm is a small duck who balances himself to stand up and also smiles, wearing dark blue patterned swim trunks and sunglasses. They appear to be having fun.

You've got this!
A doodle of an alligator named Relish striking a victory pose. This victory pose resembles a silly dance Godzilla struck after a victory.

Imagine its 1995 and you're out of school and drawing in Mario Paint on your Super Nintendo. Now imagine its 2025 and you're out of work and drawing in Mario Paint on your Nintendo Switch 2. People who can draw really well with a mouse have my respect!
A drawing of an alligator on the beach, blue skies, clouds, waves, and sea foam are visible in the background. The alligator wears swim trunks barely cut off by the canvas and raises an arm to wave hello with a big smile. Screenshot from Mario Paint.

Reflecting on the message I left for Undertale Memories. Around this time I began opening up more and talking to new people when I normally would have kept to myself. I figured things couldn't get worse, so why not try for better? Even with the ups and downs between now and then, it was a good call.
A black and white pixel portrait of a bowtie wearing alligator. Text next to him reads as follows: "UNDERTALE made me feel a great sense of hope that I could move forward in life after playing it. Its ability to inspire others is a treasure."

Kris, where the heck are we?

Just kidding, seeing everyone else draw pixel portraits in this style made me want to give it a try too.
A black and white portrait drawing of an alligator. He wears a bowtie, a collared shirt, and a big smile. The portrait is in black and white pixels, reminiscent of character portraits from a certain video game series.

Saw one of those "draw your character from multiple angle " exercises and gave it a try. I'm not the best at drawing with consistency though. ⬆️↗️➡️↘️🐊
A piece of graph paper with multiple drawings of a cartoon alligator at multiple angles. In each doodle he wears a collared shirt, a bowtie, and a smile.

Making it to the weekend should be a reason to treat yourself. 🦤🍻🐦
A dodo wearing a donut-shaped inner tube with swim trunks and a seagull wearing swim trunks clinking together bottles of soda. They are both smiling. The picture is black and white except for the bright yellow and orange sodas.

Spent a week hanging out with friends in chat and catching videogame speedruns. The coziness of hanging out and watching and playing games is the best. 🎮🐊

There's a difference between having a soft spot for birds and being a soft spot for a bird.
A digital drawing of an alligator laying on the beach with a duck sitting on top of his belly. The duck appears to be sitting on a folding chair and even has a drink out. The alligator is too nice to tell him he's not some kind of sculpture to be sitting on though. The image is in full color with a textured look on the coloring of the sand and sky, and the background features a sun with a swirly pattern and lines to show it is hot outside.

Sometimes I'll make small doodles on sticky notes and discover them later and I also sometimes use them in future art. Usually they're meant to test the quality of the stationery but getting ideas for later is an added bonus!

I just made the silliest purchase. It's a stamp that leaves behind this sparkle pattern so you can make any doodle or pose drawn on paper look extra glamorous.
A Kamio Japan Coro-Re Rolling Stamp with a twinkle design on it. An alligator is holding a donut on a plate and wears an apron as he delivers it to a guest with style. The sparkle pattern from the stamp is shown for extra glamor.

I stumbled upon a paper on alligators and found this diagram. It's related to how many times alligators touched faces against eachother while they were courting with eachother.

This profile view of an alligator is gorgeous.
A scientific diagram from an academic paper on alligator courtship. It shows the profile view of an alligator with numbers on many spots of the face. The numbers relate to how many times alligators touched faces against eachother during courtship.
