LOBSTROCITY!! (yes, I finished it).
A dark-red and gold lobster-like monster with pink-tinged tentacles about about six eyes, getting ready to crimp somebody (Miniature for gaming. Reaper Miniatures Tidal Lurker, or as I have been screaming all afternoon: LOBSTROCITY!!)

In no particular order... Enigma the Void, Mystery the Venerable Elder, Rajah the Grey and Jasper, who is Rude Sometimes.
The Internet Presents: There Is A Cat In this Photo Somewhere! (A black cat, lounging on a black blanket, with a skeptical look on her wee little face.) A black and brown tabby gives the camera her best Why Are You Not Petting Me look. The photographer was not petting her on account of trying to get a good picture of her in her cozy teal knit sweater. A grey-and-white tabby demonstrates his best Mountain Shrimp impression, with his front paws folded over his face. There are bonus pin-toe beans in on display. The Internet Presents: I Wash My Paw In Your General Direction! (A black and brown tabby cat in a black harness washes her foot at the photographer, who in fact had just told her to Get Down From There! She is perched on a high shelf she is not supposed to be sitting on)

My Enigma has a tipped ear; they figured she'd be a barn cat.
We brought her home and I sort of figured we'd see if they were right, or if she was just Not Having It with people.
... she was just Not Having It with people.
The Void Has Eyes - a black cat, on a black wool blanket, with a skeptical look on her face. The one ear pointed at the camera is missing the tip.

I've got one for the From Beyond category. Might also qualify for the 'That Isn't Bedding!' category..
A grey cat asleep in his little bed. Mostly. Except for the bit where he is using an LED lamp for a pillow and one of his floofy paws is just. Dangling. Bonus toebeans on the rear paw that's sorta braced on the lamp. I think. It's hard to tell because FOOF. (My late and much beloved Topaz, gone far too soon)

I grabbed this out of the Lost Tombs of Hakir box. Because I'm just a little extra like that, I also did a limited palette of red, purple and a gold metallic, plus a blue-toned black and an off-white. I'm honestly pretty happy with how she turned out. Yes, she. Mini just feels like a her to me..

... going?
A greyscale photo of a pretty lady in an apron, holding a book, looking pensive. Caption reads: "The term 'domestic housewife' implies that there are feral housewives, and now I have a new goal."

I can't fix that.
But I can provide you a picture of Enigma being irritated on your behalf (actually, I disturbed her for a picture).
A black cat with one ear clipped, doing that thing cats do where they don't seem to have bones.

Was doing limited palette speedpaints today, thought y'all might like to see the results.
While I don't feel he's entirely done, I am happy with how he came out.

Void, with hint of toe-bean. Enigma can, in fact, sympathise with things being Terrible.
A black cat, mostly eyes and ears, with just a hint of visible toe-bean.

Jasper would like you to know that it gets better from here.
A black-striped tabby wearing a black harness, with the lead trailing off-camera sits on a stump, disagreeing with your insistence that it is, in fact, time to go in. The area around her is reasonably overgrown, an explosion of grass and wild roses.

We used to have one we called 'Honeynut' (her name was Topaz, but.. well), who would commit Crimes for a share of your honey-drenched toast. Or english muffin. She was a red tabby; never seen another one quite like her.

Good to know about La Quinta; Hilton is, believe it or not, also pet-friendly (as we found out earlier this year; we couldn't leave one of ours at home; Jasper needs her thyroid meds, and apparently, I'm the only one she'll take them from). Sigh. CAT.
Turns out she walks on lead just fine...
Jasper thinks she's going to drive the car... A grey mackerel tabby curled up in a car's bucket seat, wearing a harness and lead. She looks interested in something - perhaps somebody has a treat for her?

Jasper would like you to know that she would like your day to improve. She'd wash your fingers for you if she could.

A brightly coloured, (teal, red, dark amber) four-winged bloodsucker buzzing around for some reason. A very rough picture of a very annoying critter.

A possibly human-type person sits on a tree branch with a book, overlooking a hobbit-style house. The tree is actually a treant, likely being read to.

You'd think, the number of these I did one year, that I'd remember how long it takes me to do one, but, no...

Completed speedpaint! Bear witness, as I probably heck up the alt-text!
This is Reaper Miniatures' Female Wraith, most commonly painted as a banshee.
Last stream of the month falls on a friday, I do a limited-palette speedpaint, that's what happened here.
A painted figure of a wraith, female-presenting for some reason, in shades of blue and purple. No, I don't know why ghosts need a gender either.
