Some more expression of Noah from that comic I keep threatening to make. Also I've been trying to use my tablet some more.

I didn't get around to drawing as much as I wanted this year but I still got some good stuff out.

A black and white sketch of a very young looking person with a mullet. They are wearing a ragged t-shirt. They are winking and sticking their tongue out.

My favourite Christmas tradition lives on. My hope is that in like 1000 years this catches on and nobody remembers what a dalek is or how it ended up being a vital part of the Nativity... Or vice versa...

#christmas #babyjesus #dalek #drwho #doctorwho #manger #gold #frankincese #and #murder
A close up of a Christmas Manger. The baby Jesus lies in a bundle of hay while a donkey and a cow look on. Something lurks ominously in the shadowy background. The baby Jesus et al are now blurred as the focus shifts to the background, now more brightly lit. The thing lurking in the background is a Dalek (one of the crappy new paradigm ones but still). The baby Jesus is in danger, but he forgives the dalek probably.

I was going through some old art and came across these old character designs for a project that never got off the ground. I still like a lot of them!

I finally got around to finishing this fuckin thing. Anyway yeah, this is a representation of how it feels to look outside these days.

#horror #comic #digitalart #art #drawing #sketch #doodle #monster #space #cosmichorror #gold #dark #light
A comic in 4 panels arranged vertically. The first shows a wide shot of space, bathed in a sickly green. We see a planet and it's moon orbiting a bright star. To the right of frame we see a humanoid creature holding a golden flame. The creature is saying "Oh Creation... My ancient Enemy... Finally I am victorious. The first panel bleeds into the secon, which shows a close up of the creatures face. It is screaming "Fiat Nihil!". The third panel shows the creature in silhouette, bathed in blinding light as the universe around it is destroyed. The final panel is dark and shows the golden headpiece the creature was wearing floating in darkness surrounded by dust and debris.

Flashback to my trip to Japan in 2023.

Also, shout-out to the random Japanese woman who took this for me. She's a real g and I apologise for wasting her time.
A fat, bald man in an orange sweater is pretending like he is having a very hard time lifting a photo op prop of one of the swords from Monster Hunter. This is happening at the CapCom Store in Osaka. He has never known true happiness.

Hello, Mr. President.

I'm thinking I'll keep doing these until someone guesses what connects the drawings? Maybe not. We'll see.

Fiat Nihil - Preview

I had a short horror comic idea that I wanted to blast out real quick, but it turned into one of those "oops, all effort!" kinda deals.

A digital painting of a scene set in outer space. A Planet and it's moon are floating in a sickly green void, dotted with stars. The star the planet orbits can be seen in the background, as can a dust cloud.

My friend Niall has a whiteboard that he probably regrets getting.

@denizenunknown.bsky.social
A marker drawing on a whiteboard of a giant man holding a small man who is watching a tiny man. The tiny man is dancing. The medium man is saying "What?!" In Japanese. The big man is saying "Oh! A small man!" Also in Japanese. The tiny man is screaming "FUCK!!".

OK... I should get around to finishing the rest of this page now...

Two panels from a comic book. The panel on the left shows a close up of a photograph in a frame on a shelf in a darkened room. The photograph depicts a young woman in a red shirt and a young man in a graduation gown holding a degree standing in front of the main building of MIT. They look happy. A blurry, out of focus reflection can be seen in the glass of the photo frame. The panel on the right shows the exact same photo only now it is blurred and out of focus. The previously blurry reflection is not in focus, the reflection is of the same woman in the photo, now older and with a different hair cut. She looks tired, angry, and cynical.

I pretty much use Clip Studio Paint for the entire process, barring the occasional sketch done on paper which I decide to expand out to a full rendered piece.

I am no longer using Clip Studio Paint to make my comic. From here on out I will be using Mario Paint on the Switch Online SNES map with my Joycon in mouse mode. This is not a joke. I hope you will understand.

A screenshot of Mario Paint where I have drawn the main character of my comic, Quantum Diamond. It is a very good drawing. Do not believe anyone who says otherwise.

A cartoon of a bald, chubby guy, with a beard. He is gesturing to something underneath a tarp. Speech bubble reads: I've invented a new machine that makes the world a better place every time you use it! Who wants to give it a try? The guy from the first panel is simling a gesturing to the machine, which he has just unveiled. It's straight up just a guillotine.

Finally got a new pen for my graphic display. I am going to be back on my shit very soon.
A very hasty sketch of a girl with very big hair and a side cut with an eyebrow notch. She is wearing a T-shirt that says "I Put On Pants For This" and is awkwardly giving a thumbs up. She is saying her iconic catchphrase "HA HA! YES! Quite Excellent!"

Reorganizing my games is like doing an archeological dig. Just layers and layers of older and older game systems... Are those Wii U games?!
A TV unit (it's actually two shoe racks because I didn't want to buy an actual TV unit) with a TV, consoles, and other nick nacks on top. The shelf below holds dozens of games. The shelf is deep enough for two layers, the front most layer has switch, switch 2, PS4 and PS5 games. The back most layer has Wii U and Xbox 360 games, but this cannot be seen as clearly. The TV is showing Scott the Wiz talking about Mario Kart World.
