Unearthed treasure. For those unfamiliar: Ral Partha was the US equivalent of UK's Games Workshop since the 70's. Sometimes rivals, sometimes collaborators, they were the two big names when it came to pewter miniatures for tabletop games. Right here in me hometown of Cincinnati Ohio, no less.

Black Rat Snake having fun. Is this the beginning of our property's annual mass-migration? Not sure yet, but I bet it'll be soon.

"Meet Mr. Frank Stewart. A mild mannered real estate magnate, with a buisiness deal gone awry, who's about to learn an important lesson in humility, when he's torn in half and devoured by a disgruntled client... from the Twilight Zone."

One of our dogs went off to sleep this morning. Bubby, he'd turned 17 last week. He was a rescue we took in about 7 years ago. He came from awful circumstances, was afraid of everything & everyone. Slowly he began to feel happy and comfortable here. Big boy, big heart. Farewell and travel far. 🤍

DC comics' Doomsday, as I see him. In the movie he was just a fuckin LOTR cave troll. I feel like if you're gonna portray "The Thing That Kills Superman", he damn well better LOOK like something that could kill Superman.

Artists didn't "get the privilege" of working on mtg illustrations. It was wotc that Got The Privilege to use the artist's work to make their game flourish. Decades of artist labor put wotc where they are now. If they fail to show proper gratitude, it's over. Feed the body or the head will die.

Old, unfinished, abandoned, lost to time. Still though, looked like it was going well.

"This ______ isn't for kids!" Kids, like frenzied sharks over a drop of blood in the vast open sea: "Well now I GOTTA see it."

Very sadly very true. Ever since 2016, half the nation found the confidence to proudly say "Yes, if given the choice, I would rather be Megatron."

One of the most genius creature designs of all time. Startling and confusing, as all the best monsters are. 👹

"I sensed there was mail."

Hail Hydra.

"I wanna draw for video games/movies/comics/movies ABOUT comics when I grow up!" RIP to generations of dreamers. We artists aren't just fuel for the fire anymore, we're desperate chefs hoping the guests can all enjoy a taste before Mr. Creosote gets his hands on it.

Beast-Eater, my BOY. My MAN. My road dog. We've got the Ludwig and the Lawrence fight, you've got me, I've got you.

#PortfolioDay I'm Evan Thomas! I'm an illustrator, writer, professional monsterer. Monstrosity is divinity, is it not? Read the old comic I made at Serpentsong.com or support my metabolism at patreon.com/ECTmonster Thank you, won't you?

I'm calling it right now: In Chris Nolan's The Odyssey, he'll make the cyclops a LotR cave troll with only one eye, Scylla will be just a GoT dragon with 6 heads, and Charybdis will just be a whirlpool.

Delving through old sketchbooks and found this unfinished Tank Girl from college. Made me jealous of my once-steady hand (nowadays I need cleanup and massive exposure/contrast adjustments to get lines like this). I don't have the hands I used to.

But hey, we're going to the moon again, right?

Thinking about this quote from Persepolis creator Marjane Satrapi again.

With all the atrocities here on earth, all the Artemis II photos keep feeding my unhealthy urge to forsake all things and go live up on the shores of the Ocean of Death.

While working on my cartoony comedy side-project, one thing I've had to come to terms with is that over the decades I haven't cultivated an instinct for cartoony faces/bodys/poses. I'm having to build up a database from the folks I like that can teach me better distortion and expression.

I love to drop the trivia: "Did you know @frankconniff.bsky.social wrote on Invader Zim?" And every time people hear it, they usually say "Ah, that makes sense." Happy 25th anniversary Zim 💚

Nimrod Bodfish have you any wool? Gimme 'nother bodybag the bodybag's full! My face was scorched! Scorched! I miss my home I miss my porch! Porch! Left! Right! Left!

I'm sure with this new job I will probably forsake all my other wants and finally dump everything into the tattoos I've been putting off for decades. I've waited long enough, it's time.

The intrusive thoughts won #rabbit&steel #heavyblade

And that's just "a guy" too. Not one of his worst enemies, not an iconic villain, just "A GUY" What did this GUY do that warranted this particular move?!?!

The manager for my job interview casually mentioned that he played D&D, allowing me to tell him what kind of art I actually do. I shit you not, it's entirely possible I got this park attendant job purely because he was impressed I drew 8 player's characters for a DM on Tumblr.

Got a new JAAAHB A job where I'll be able to sit draw while I'm doing it, no less. O fortune smiles

I can't imagine what it must feel like to be in the lost episode of a piece of television that has been so hungrily sought by people for over 3 decades then finally discovered in a forgotten vhs tape in some garage sale in a nameless corner of the world, but I bet it's a unique sensation.
