It's kind of crazy how, despite me taking a break for 3 years (which I honestly thought I quit and moved on) from something I was ubber obsessed with, I ended up returning in a tamer yet still strong manner. Especially when not many others that I knew, who were also connoisseurs, were as lucky :(.

Caught a small fever. My mind is being a bit stingy rn because of it, so here's a doodle of lamps I made back in 2022. Stay frosty.

Started watching an anime called Monster.. I can assure you: The only thing scary about the antagonist is that I have met people who reminded me of him that not only don't resemble him, but practically looked like his exact opposite...

Remember remember, the 5th of November The gunpowder treason and plot Was actually, thought by Robert Catesby And not friggin' Guy Fawkes.

Had to get this off my chest. XP

I shouldn't be doing this, but I know there are people who, unlike me, hold this as highly beloved that it shows. Therefore here is Mr. W's entire masterclass for anyone interested: archive.org/details/anim... I've worked on enough grand scale projects for the remainder of this year anyway XP.

The thing is I HAVE read up on UK history. Not just academic stuff, I'm talking pathetic anglophile stuff. From Septimus origins to the 100 year war to scary shit from "Alfred the Great" and Henry VIII, Gordon/Notting Hill Riots, etc. Let's just say "Gresham's Law" is why I'm no longer a fan =_=...

Fun fact: according to Bing, The Lion King is why Downton Abbey claims movies would be better if you couldn't see them. (And I'm not even gonna tell you what Proud Family related concept I Googled to get...THIS borderline racist result :D)

During Inktober I had to redo/edit/scrap a few pieces, which include: -The Rasmus in a particular style. -The original dialogue for Shizuka and Bart. -My first FTrot attempt (messed up Jason's teeth). -My first attempt at badass Betty Boop (I drew her hands worse than AI).

I guess it's just crazy how we grieve sometimes. We don't want to deny the sadness (if we do we become some passive aggressive madman), but at the same time we want to keep moving forward for everyone else's sake. We just want to care somehow.

Colored doodle I made on the first day of this year.

Commissioning people nowadays is like entering a labyrinth. And I'd rather not start shit by pointing out the "minotaur(s)" -_-...

The issue with working on animation is that I have to stay away from social media, or even YT vids, to avoid getting distracted (or worse, uninspired to my detriment by anything that may resemble even a TENTH of my idea, leading my imposter syndrome to quit) I'm perfectionist & ocd like that...

Fantasia -1 Make some random experimental abract animation frames, a month or two ago, and took some of my Dad's boomer meds, which give you all the feeling of being drunk WITHOUT actually being (mostly) drunk %_o...

Final Rose Day 31 #Inktober

In the spirit of Lil' Archie I decided to bring Jands back this once, albeit when they were half their ages. I've dabbled with this idea before in a 2019 Inktober, so I figured it would be harmless. A̶t̶ l̶e̶a̶s̶t̶ a̶s̶ f̶a̶r̶ a̶s̶ t̶h̶e̶ g̶r̶i̶m̶ e̶s̶o̶t̶e̶r̶i̶c̶i̶s̶m̶ w̶i̶l̶l̶ a̶l̶l̶o̶w̶.

Garfield Day 30 #Inktober (Me and the straight up G go way back, in ways that weren't always wholesome...)

Revy Boop Day 29 #Inktober (Been trying to make any variant of this one since day 6 XP).

The cover for another FT comic I'm working on, based on a fanfic I wrote last year. Was iffy about it at first (been going through some personal biz lately, btw). But it's not like I'm aiming for the Caldecott with THIS one. XP

Lowly Worm (From Richard Scarry's Busytown) Day 28 #Inktober

@herny.bsky.social 's Jawlene @lotusfishicoot.bsky.social 's Anne, and @jollyjack.bsky.social 's Chloe Sinclaire giving an old game a new spin. Just always wanted to see these 3 together.

Mask Day 27 #Inktober

Shizuka and Bart Day 26 #Inktober

Blockhead III Day 25 #Inktober (In a perfect world this would've been an animated short)

Last year I finished a 3.5 minute animation, which felt pretty epic at the time. HOWEVER The "freeware" I made it in never ONCE told me I had to pay to export the finished file UNTIL I finished it. (meaning it ambushed me with a price) Fortunately I just recorded the preview instead on my phone XP.

Well..I wrote another Horror movie review... And as a result Crunchyroll is blaming ME for a Bette Davis quote. Go figure -_-.

Portrait of Industrial Vocalist Marilyn Manson (Parody of this: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Portrai...) Day 24 #Inktober (Had to cover the absinthe)

My advice to anyone working hard on comics is this: Enjoy the journey more. Cause believe me: my last comic felt less like a silly D. Pilkey inspired doodle and more like directing a short film with the amount of research I did..

It's crazy how the "f-bomb" feels more like a firecracker now compared to the straight up atomic bomb that is the "n-bomb" now..

The Demented Cartoon Mononoke (Brian Kendall's Princess Mononoke) Day 23 #Inktober

My ultimate opinion on AI is this: It's ok, but it's still a prototype of whatever it's trying to be. CGI existed since the 60s, but could you picture them making a Jurassic Park movie with THIS technology? youtu.be/RqQvVts5Yj0?...

Disney/Bluth style Goombella Day 22 #Inktober

I did technically/canonically kill my characters, Jim & Shawn, off. However, it was done as a juxtaposed cameo death for another comic I collaborated on in 2019. While I do still have a copy of the comic, the person whom I collaborated with long deleted the collab, so I'd rather honor his sentiment.

Left brain: All right, I finished enough Bluth flicks. It's still too early to watch the 2nd Filmation film, but I can replace it with Rock n' Rule. Especially now that I saw all of Richard Wil- Right brain: plumbing...broken again...time...to play...song...of my people... youtu.be/qMaXOTThOrQ?...

Bob the Squirrel and Mafalda Day 21 #Inktober

I'm getting Ads that advertise AI. AI in ADs. ... ..yeah, someone else brave/unlazy enough can conjure the portmanteau up -_-.

I don't recall if I saw this movie in theatres or via Blockbuster the first time. But if it was the former it was an honour. ;_;

Spongebob Day 20 #Inktober (This is actually a remake of a long lost school assignment from 20 years ago. My task was to give an example of sarcasm...I'm being serious XD.)

2 months ago I sent a (somehow) anonymous email to a good friend whom I hadn't talked to in 17 years. I had to at least tell him why things got complicated, yet how it was still my fault for so many other stuff. I mean only NOW did I remember his email, so I just had to do this if nothing else.

Syndborg 204-99, aka Cyborg Syndrome Day 19 #Inktober (The lore writes itself. -.-)

Denise as 2B from N:A. Just thought the blindfold and look matched her.

Well... At least the internet's mindset rn is in the right... ...ah, just watch the stupid video. -.- youtu.be/oyu1WO0hRB0?...

Ed, Edd n' Eddy (minus Ed, Edd n' Eddy) Day 18 #Inktober

Well yeah, I posted a LOT of my works on imageboards (particularly wizchan). I'm either shy or self-conscious like that. Otherwise I never would've left x. -_-...

Just rewatched Pinocchio and the Emperor of the Night. It's still my favorite animated movie ever. Partially cause it is special to me, yet mostly because I'm a millennial who's dopamine management deteriorated long ago. But if you can enjoy it yourself for whatever reason then that's cool. ^^

1956 Car Race (¯\_(-_-)_/¯) Day 17 #Inktober

I liked this meme, so I decided to take an old WIP/Finished drawing and add my take. ^^ www.fanart-central.net/pictures/use...
