in the wake of the season’s first snow, the #weezerds explore a botanical garden to remember what warmth and growing things are like. Essek has new ambitions for the scale of his orchids. #shadowgast #smolessekventures #calebwidogast #essekthelyss

For Day 29, I couldn’t think of an idea better than one I had already drawn - so here’s a redraw of a marker piece from 2019! Professor Dragon teaches the hatchlings a valuable lesson about the cycle of adventurers and hoards! #inktober #drawingchallenge #31daysofdragons #lesson #dragonart

english isn't my mother language

Artist propaganda I’m not falling for (and you shouldn’t either):

Time is still a weird soup, but here’s Day 28! Not gonna lie, this prompt is part of the reason I’m finishing so late - the idea of drawing a skeletal dragon just hit the “don’t wanna” button in my brain - but I think he turned out okay! #inktober #31daysofdragons #skeletal #dragonart

On Day 27 (or 6, who’s counting anymore, time is a weird soup), do be sure to keep your house dragon out of the produce! #inktober #drawingchallenge #31daysofdragons #onion #dragonart

tfw you have to take your cat for x-rays and somehow she is the *least* frustrating thing you’ve dealt with today

"oooo i'd draw that but i can't draw" brother get this through your head NOBODY can draw we are literally ALL BULLSHITTING

October is over, but I’m keeping it pushing! Day 26 brings us another Cosplay Dragon! #inktober #drawingchallenge #31daysofdragons #puzzling #dragonart

It’s Daggerheart night and I’m slacking on felting and inktober so instead y’all get sketches of my shadow sorcerer, Red #ocsky #daggerheartoc #daggerheart

Going a little more traditional for Day 25! #inktober #drawingchallenge #31daysofdragons #inferno #dragonart

For Day 24, just your average experience at the football game… #inktober #drawingchallenge #31daysofdragons #rowdy #dragonart

Item in my work bag inventory today: this tiny plastic crab figure I got in a gachapon machine Item not in my work bag inventory today: my pill case with my meds 🫩

Some quick not-really-spoilery art to celebrate my two favorite characters coming out of the #cr4 overture! I love Murray and I love Bolaire and I extra love their hilarious dynamic. #criticalrole #criticalrolefanart #murraymagnesson #bolairelothalia

I did not resist the Cosplay Dragon temptation for Day 23! I was torn between Kaylee and Jayne, but Kaylee is objectively better 😄 #inktober #drawingchallenge #31daysofdragons #firefly #dragonart #kayleefrye

REJOICE! Beans be upon ye. US Orders are available at mightypieworkshop.com! International orders are available at etsy.com/mightypieworkshop! (Please note - Etsy slots are reserved for non-US orders only.) #smolessekventures #smolessek #shadowbeanshenanigans #shoprestock #shopopening

Even the tiniest house dragon will amass and fiercely guard their own hoard! (Continuing my Inktober catchup before I descend into the Felting Mines! while I didn’t do a cosplay dragon, I definitely used the Veth Brenatto colors.) #inktober #drawingchallenge #31daysofdragons #button #dragonart

There are so many things you can do with dragons and a prompt like “blast”…which means I had to take the silliest option and draw a Baja Blast dragon. #inktober #drawingchallenge #31daysofdragons #blast #dragonart #bajablast

Six PM Baby Time is becoming part of the evening routine (These are siblings who live, with their mother, in my garage. I am trying to befriend them in hopes of whisking them off to a shelter, or at least TNR.)

A little bonus illustration: Tiny Essek… not dangerous?

Playing catch-up again! With a prompt like “rivals,” I had to go for another cosplay dragon - the Red Comet himself, Char Aznable! Blame this on the misfortune of your hatching…. #inktober #drawingchallenge #31daysofdragons #rivals #dragonart #charaznable #mobilesuitgundam

The gang's all here! #criticalrole #criticalrolefanart #criticalrolecampaign4 #digitalart #illustration

Hide your Beacons, Smol Esseks are invading this weekend! Preorder slots for needle-felted Beans will be open on my site at 3:00 PM Eastern Time on Saturday, October 25th!  #smolessekventures #smolessek #shadowbeanshenanigans #shoprestock #shopopening #weezerds

An evening with They Might Be Giants (feat. Smol Essek)

I must show you all the absolute masterpiece that was taped to the wall of the bathroom in this tiny Asian restaurant in Covington

Day 19 takes us to the frozen north for this icy dragon! #inktober #drawingchallenge #31daysofdragons #arctic #dragonart

Running a day behind again (I spent a Lot of time in a car yesterday) but Day 18’s dragon is ready to strike a deal? Would you buy an automobile from this fine, totally trustworthy fellow? #inktober #drawingchallenge #31daysofdragons #deal #dragonart

With a prompt like “ornate,” I couldn’t resist a dragon version of our floaty hot boi Essek for Day 17! #inktober #drawingchallenge #31daysofdragons #ornate #dragonart #criticalrolefanart #essekthelyss

I couldn’t decide on one blunder for Day 16, so I did an entire trifecta of trouble! (Caught up! Go me!) #inktober #drawingchallenge #31daysofdragons #blunder #dragonart

Day 15 sees me once again taking inspiration from my cats. Who else has scraps of mauled toys littered around their house? #inktober #drawingchallenge #31daysofdragons #ragged #dragonart

It’s been such an incredible week, the wedding live show, the new M9 clip (Essek actually turned around!!), and C4E2! I’m still floating and can’t wait for the wedding stream.😆 I drew Essek in a tailcoat to calm my still-fluttering heart.

✨Artists! Quote with long hair✨

On Day 14, I continue my dragons-as-cats routine! And yes, I colored this one orange for a reason. #inktober #drawingchallenge #31daysofdragons #trunk #dragonart

It’s Day 13 (yes, a day late) and remember to keep your house dragon properly hydrated! (I love those videos of cats under faucets with water deflecting off their heads while they lap at nothing with zero brain cells engaged!) #inktober #drawingchallenge #31daysofdragons #drink #dragonart

For Day 12, our dragon chef is preparing the finest of pizza pies for you! #inktober #drawingchallenge #31daysofdragons #shredded #dragonart

The next time I need to spend time in a hospital for any reason, I am bringing a sign that says “if you used ChatGPT to get through school, please leave my room”

“Sure I know a Dragons, Frodo Dragons!” (For Day 11, with a prompt like “sting,” I just had to make a dragon version of Frodo and his sword!) #inktober #drawingchallenge #31daysofdragons #sting #dragonart #lotr

Happy Frog Con everyone! I have updated my shop with new froggy goods - including some one-of-a-kind felted frog wizards! Come find me in the Artist Alley: frogcon2025.expofp.com?mighty-pie-c...

On Day 10, a reminder to keep your excitable young house dragons off the furniture! #inktober #drawingchallenge #31daysofdragons #sweep #dragonart

Day 9 brings you an interesting fact about dragon attacks: many adventurers know to avoid the razor claws and the sharp fangs and the fire breath, but fall victim to The Squish! #inktober #drawingchallenge #31daysofdragons #heavy #dragonart

For Day 8, I would like you all to imagine a little dragon Tony Hawk standing just off camera, yelling “do a kickflip!” #inktober #drawingchallenge #31daysofdragons #reckless #dragonart

The #weezerds arrive at a wedding! Caleb has a few questions about Chadwick that Essek would prefer not to answer before they’re home, *thank you.* #shadowgast #essekthelyss #calebwidogast #fjoresterwedding #criticalrole

Squeaking in at (almost) the eleventh hour with Day 7, in which a wee aquatic dragon studies an interesting new friend! #inktober #drawingchallenge #31daysofdragons #starfish #dragonart

It’s Day 6! My immediate idea when contemplating today’s prompt was “punk rock dragon with many piercings,” so here he is! (Work is ridiculously busy but I’m trying to keep up!) #inktober #drawingchallenge #31daysofdragons #pierce #dragonart
