It is NOT the same as looking at picture reference... you're basically looking at a copy of a copy made out of copies.

I'm very curious to see if they award that stupid peace trophy to anyone else beyond Tangerine Palpatine....

Here's a thing that irritates me about the modern Tron movies...
The 1st Tron, all the denizens, vehicles and environments are visual representations of the functions that happen within the computer.
Tron is essentially a prototype virus checker/security program

Listening to that Trump speech on @mrjamesob.bsky.social's show... I think it's very clear that he may well have done a good thing for utterly the wrong reasons... And I have no idea how I feel about that as they all pat themselves on the back.

The joys of drawing outside...

Had this little friend appear on my iPencil (which to be fair would've made a better picture... But I wasn't fast enough).

I know I’m a bit late, this took me an embarrassingly long time to actually getting around to post.

Rest in Peace Ozzy.

I will say that as a relatively new dad... Fantastic Four did hit a bit close to home occasionally.

I actually quite enjoyed the new Fantastic Four movie. The casting and production design was absolutely note perfect and how they handled Galactus was really well done.
Lots of nice little nods to the comic too.
Can’t seem to switch off, so drew a Galactus from memory.

Turns out that Superman movie was good! Who knew!
Thank you @jamesgunn.bsky.social you even managed to make me cry in a couple of places.

The Cebeebies remake of Dune certainly hits a bit differently...

Gotta say... I was not expecting the CGI Peter Cushing Doctor turning up towards the end...

Do you think they used the same files from Rogue One?

From the file marked “What if Troll, but New Jersey gangster?”

Bluesky pals! I have a sci-fi graphic novel called DRIVE, and it's my favorite thing I've ever done!

If you need a long, escapist read at the moment, I highly, highly recommend a deep-dive! The entire thing is free to read, here: drivecomic.com

One night... Doctor who fandom couldn't wait one night to spoil the ever loving crap out of the episode...

I’ll be honest, I’ve been feeling very low about my art lately so could use a bit of a boost.

Finally coloured the May 4th doodle though… please enjoy.

Desperately wanted to get this coloured before the day was done… but you will just have to have the line art version…

Happy #starwars day everyone!

I had a dream last night I told Trumpht to "go f**k himself" directly to his face in the oval office... I then subsequently had to go on the run from his goon squad.
