Well... SOMEONE isn't getting AUX use again.
A doodle of Simon and Garth in Si's van. We're in the UK here so the driver is on the right side of the vehicle. Simon has pale skin and brown hair, he is wearing black framed glasses, a white shirt and has 3 ear piercings. Garth has pale skin and blonde hair. He is wearing a black t-shirt and has tattoos on his arms and knuckles. Garth is jamming away to a song he's put on the van speakers, Simon looks ... disquieted.

I needed to render a doodle from a pencil sketch I did this morning.

(he spotted someone he was besties with but hadn't seen in like 15 years)
A doodle of Garth, just a guy. He has pale skin and blonde hair styled in a short messy quiff. He has a neck tattoo and is wearing a black t-shirt. He has an expression that looks like disbelief. Orange background.

‘Watch out girls, he’s got RGB!’

I was away from home and internet was shite, so inside of a van from memory, don’t look haha. 1.5hr doodle before bed of Simon’s van.
A sketchy doodle of the inside of a van specked out to be an IT lab on the go. To the left is Simon halfway through packing his laptop and gear into his bag, to the right Garth pulls himself into the van by the handle and door to say hi. Simon has pale skin and brown hair which is wavy and short. He wears black glasses and white shirt and tie. Garth has pale skin and blonde hair styled into a messy quiff. He’s wearing a black t-shirt reading ‘security’ on the front and a lanyard.

caught off guard
A sketchy illustration of two men kissing. The man on the left is Simon, he has pale skin and brown, wavy hair that's kept short. He is wearing black framed glasses and a white shirt. Pulling himself up into a kiss is Garth who has pale skin and blonde hair styled into a messy quiff, he is wearing a black t-shirt. Simon looks taken aback by the embrace, but in a panel below he's eased up, leaning into Garth for a smooch, cradling Garth's head with his hand.

Night-night, sweet dreams 💋👊
A rough illustration of Garth knocked out on the pavement. He has pale skin and short, messy blonde hair. He is wearing a camo jacket with patches and beige cargos with boots. He has his sleeves rolled up showing his bare arms, the left arm has a rat tattoo scaling down, and across his knuckles reads 'GOOD LUCK'. There's a few bruises over his bare skin and grazes, with a particularly good crack across the bridge of his nose and his forehead which are bleeding slightly onto the pavement. The scene is lit at night but with the nostalgic sodium orange street lighting.

And will I see a new day?
Who's driving this anyway?
I picture my own grave,
'Cause fear's got a hold on me.
A doodle of Garth approaching meltdown. He has pale skin and scruffy blonde hair. He is clutching at his temples and has an extremely stressed expression, with wide eyes, creased eyebrows and gritted teeth. He appears to be sweating from his forehead too. Blue background with cyan and magenta zig-zags.

A crop of Simon. He has pale skin and brown hair. He wears black rimmed glasses and a black shirt, he smiles as a white cat on his shoulder rubs against his head. A tuxedo cat the left with one eye looks towards the camera, with more cats in the background. A crop of Remmi, she has pale skin and buzz-cut hair and tattoos. She has lots of ear piercings. She's wearing a blue vest and a golden retriever is sleeping on her lap, facing away from the camera. A crop of Garth. He has pale skin and scruffy blonde hair. He has tattoos on his neck and arms, and is wearing a black vest. He has no pets to show for this question so sheepishly laughs it off, with an hand behind his neck. He has houseplants around him.

'Show us your pets!'
A faux video chat with 5 characters from Hoggy's story 'Deadlock' featuring a lot of the main characters, from left to right - Top row - Simon, Remmi, Garth. Bottom row - Astrid, Felix. They are reacting to the question 'what pets do you have?' Simon has a collection of rescue cats, two of which are close to him on camrea. Remmi has a Golden Retrieve laying on her lap. Garth doesn't have any pets so he sheepishly shrugs it off with an arm behind his neck. Behind him are his 'pet houseplants'. Astrid graciously presents her two black cats in the background. Felix thrusts his chihuahua towards the camera.

I went through a stage of every piece of my work being RED and now every piece of work is BLUE.

Why do I keep using colours I don't actually LIKE (it looks good on the work though somehow?) (tbh the blue works SO good with that hot pink I use in everything though)
A collection of Hoggy's work from the last few days and weeks, all featuring an ultramarine blue.

CW: smoking.

I nearly quit drawing this because just as I was finishing off the sketch I realised it looks like that meme haha. But anyway I wanted to complete something for me tonight, so.

It's been good to get all that writing done so far, so I can focus on the rest of the stories now.
An illustration of Simon, he has pale skin and brown, wavy hair that's styled short. He has a bit more facial hair than he normally would, and is wearing thick brimmed glasses. He's wearing a white shirt and resting a lit cigarette between his fingers. He leans against a black van and looks despondently into the distance.

My wife wrote this top bit when she was showing me how Obsidian works and I'm like... YOU'RE NOT WRONG but that's not the actual STORY. (or is it?)
A printscreen of Obsidian Hoggy's using for braindumping. The page reads: This story revolves around Garth and Simon bumming in Rafting. ---------- Seriously though, the vibes of the story are reconnection and growth. Life being thrust upon you and rediscovering your inner child and hope, and cherishing that real self. Deadlock, the story, is about the power of people.

the art vs the artist's hand
A watercolour painting of a Eurasian wolf leaping over the peak of a grassy hill, their eyes are fixed on the viewer. The hues in the fur have been accentuated into vibrant colours such as blues, purples and orange. The black sky background captures a prismatic halo through the tips of their fur. Hoggy's hand, he has pale skin and wears a simple silver band on his ring finger. He keeps his nails very short and his skin is a bit rough around the fingers and knuckles. OH a cat in the background.

Have some art of the main boys, art from 2016.
Felix, Simon, and Garth.
An illustration of a 'selfie' of three men in an office setting. The man holding the phone is Felix, he has warm olive skin and short dark hair. He is winking with his tongue out and has a lip ring. Behind is Simon, who has pale skin, short wavy brown hair, and is wearing glasses and a red shirt, he is grinning. To the right is Garth, he has pale skin and blonde hair. He has his headphones just off one ear and looks a bit shocked. The other two have snuck up on him to take the photo. Felix and Garth are wearing black t-shirts with 'Security' written on the front. At the bottom of the illustration is a caption that says 'Surprise work selfie! :D'.

An illustration of Simon and Garth in an embrace. It looks like Simon's tried to catch Garth by surprise but Garth's having none of that. He catches Simon's chin with a soft push of his knuckles and a calm but cheeky expression, sort of like a 'oh yeah?'. Both Simon and Garth have pale skin, Simon has brown hair and glasses and is taller than Garth by a fair few inches. Garth has blonde hair styled into a messy quiff. They're both wearing white shirts and formal trousers, Garth has rolled his sleeves up, and is wearing a thin pink tie. He has a tattoo on his arm and neck that are visible. Blue background.

'Go fuck yourself'
'Sounds like a plan!'

Some kinda bullshit law coming on the cards in the UK about banning choking in porn. Not getting into it all, we all know how censoring of media goes now don't we.
A doodle of Garth grinning at the viewer, with a tongue out and a playful expression. His left hand is doing a 2 finger salute (British gesture for go forth and multiply), the other hand he is holding his neck. Garth has pale skin and blonde hair styled into a scruffy quiff.
