I remember thinking this was a really funny mockery of the standards expected by retail workers in Fallout 76.

Playing some spooky stuff for the spooky month. I’m reminded why I adore Mr X as a stalker enemy because he still manages to make me let out a high pitched yelp all these years later.

I collect badges like they were Sunset Sarsaparilla star bottle caps for my satchel, but my most recent find is a most valuable reminder.

It’s extremely reassuring to know that despite everything bad that is happening, everything will be ok, we still got 52 years to go before it all goes REALLY bad!

The Big Project update.
Did some layout work then went to sleep.
Woke up and found myself unable to fall sleep again (enemies clearly nearby).
Did an entire redraw pic with Anhz because drawing her in Rouge’s place is really fun.
Went back to sleep.

Aw man.
Drew Struzan was a huge inspiration for me in terms of movie poster design. His "The Thing" poster remains one of my all time faves for its ominous design and quick thinking backstory. I have fond memories of recreating it once for a College project.
See ya in The Somewhere, Mr Struzan.

Feels kinda funny, twice in my life, passing through an abandoned fairground in late August.
Yet I used to come here as a wee lad. Covid claimed more than just living souls.

But I end this prattling now, gratefully standing at the spot it happened. Where I made that important choice. Dramatic it may all sound, but the most amazing choices were always started with a simple question.

It took a few years to fully bloom, but this is where my Wanderer persona was truly born. The desire to explore overwhelmed me, it become part of my personality and the bloke I am today. It's been 10 plus years but I still rememberit fondly.

I was just about to turn 11. My father had bought me up this cliff as a treat. I loved the views, the sense of height, seeing a wide world from such young eyes was a feeling I never forget. Sometimes I wish I could forget what happened next.

I recently came back from a Wander over the coast of Spain. I had once made a vow to never come back but with the Mistress of time taking away old wounds and family, I decided to go back. There was one place I had to stop at, where I once changed everything. This I what I wrote whilst there: 🧵

Finally letting go of an old vile hatred and seeing the south of Spain for it’s actual beauty was the smartest decision I’ve made in ages.

Not me (yes me) once again drawing designs by @stellarswotter.bsky.social because GOSH DARN IT, they so fun.
Mute the Mime; able to control the invisible blocks of life itself but also use them to change her appearance and size.
I should hire this guy as a wandering companion!

Huge thanks to @50percentgrey.bsky.social who had pretty much inspired me to do this. Comm'd a similar idea a few months back as I wanted to do the idea then but couldn't figure out how to lay it out, their version really helped a lot and I couldn't have done it without them!

Now I'm 35, time to indulge in some self-fulfilment art!
Unihorn finds herself stuck between a Anhzvill and Shaymmer (I can't take credit for that term). Surprised I never drew them all together before.
(Tagging as Suggestive just in case, it's pretty much SFW tbh!)
