Just a quick (and late) New Year's Message from... me?

This Sonic car decorating game is pretty fun.

Been rewatching 12th Doctor episodes and can I put in a formal request with the universe to have Peter Capaldi play Don Quixote?

Found a place that does good journals, bullet, planners notepads etc. Currently having choice paralysis at all the potential avenues. I know I go too wild I'll buy like 4 and never use them but as soon as I buy one I'll know I want more. Agh!

What a lovely way to 'Ring' in the new year!

I like Alt Texts, I get to hide all kinds of blather in there to amuse myself. Like hiding jokes in plain sight. DVD extras only gags kinda content. S'fun.

2025 has been a bit of a big year for me! Got my first Sonic cover, my second TMNT cover released, got my first book deal(!), blew out both my wrists for a few months, had to go looking for a new place to live, put out my first short 5 pager comic (in the Spark-Flame.com zine) A lot happened!

Goodnight 2025! #artvsartist2025 #artvsartist

It's the last day of the month and you- wait, it's the last day of the YEAR, and that means the last Mackazine of 2025 is here! And it's a fun one (but I would say that wouldn't I?) Full of sketches and doodles and stuff I worked on. I worked my butt off this month and I hope ya dig it!

Share a cartoon you will always love

Streets of Rage 4 soundtrack so good.

My first time tabling at the UK Web and Mini Comix Thing (forget the year, between 04-08 maybe) saw a dude carrying a ton of stuff and having a time of it coming up behind me, held the door for him/helped carry some stuff to his table. It turned out to be Weebl!

Tonight's comicing music; one of the best anime themes of all time.

Everyone is posting memes like "it's that nebulous period after christmas but before new year where nobody knows what day of the week it is". I'm a freelance artist, I NEVER know what day of the week it is. Every day is a work day, the names of the days don't matter!

Reskeet with your favorite meme you’ve ever made.

Lets go 2026! The year of Authenticity!

Everything I've been thinking and feeling in an adorably animated vid.

Merry Christmas, Boomers! Enjoy an IDW Sonic the Hedgehog sketch cover from STC legend Richard Elson! #SonictheComic

Merry Christmas & Happy Holidays everyone! Hope you all get great gifts, and spend even greater time with your loved ones 💙 youtu.be/zkKYstT7lb8?...

I'm wishing all of you who celebrate a very, very Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas to all and I wish good health, prosperity and creative fulfilment to you and your loved ones! 🎄🐧🎁🎅

you have once again been greeted by holly jolly takenobu mitsuyoshi, repost or you will still never see burning rangers underneath your christmas tree

Working on Christmas Eve means it's time to bust out the festive classics!

Have I mentioned how much I love TMNT: Saturday Morning Adventures? Truly the gift that keeps on giving. Casey and his mask gags are absolutely killing me.

quote post the fictional character you are in your head

Merry Christmas all! I'm gonna sing christmas songs and you can't stop me

I did it. I kept my tree up all year round. This has officially been 2025: The Christmas Year here at the Iceberg. Good job me for the mammoth accomplishment of not taking my tree down because I was just *that* busy! HOORAY FOR ME!

I don't know what they're singing but that big guy at the back is off key!

LETS GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

This always and forever. Gonna try and boost even more good stuff next year, and fill your timeline with some coolness and radness!

It’s a Christmas countdown! Starting off with the holiday piece that I created for the Sonic Social channels in 2019. 🎄 #sonic | #sega | #art

Bring this energy with you int 2026 (yes this is a threat)

So anyone out there able to make a replica of this god tier surfer lemming puppet? Asking for a me. Also, this is your new favourite song. You're welcome.

Crazy how they made up a holiday to promote Christmas NiGHTS and decided as a society to celebrate it every year

I really appreciate people who bought private commissions from me and other artists throughout the year. This, and people who support small indie projects feel like the last remaining true patrons of the arts

Christmas Trees in 'Christmas NiGHTS Into Dreams' on the SEGA Saturn, from the unlockable Sonic mode.

Using my Christmas wish to ask for Clip Studio Pro to get Linux compatibility so we can all finally ditch Windows to avoid involuntarily supporting AI nonsense so they stop building data centers and we can try and stop them from trying to choke/roast the planet alive. We kinda live here.

when you talk up a book, talk up the people who made it. authors, shout out your cover artists. creative teams, yell about each other. publishers, PLEASE for the love of god name the team and not just the celebrity. erasing human contributions erases the idea that PEOPLE CAN MAKE THINGS

Making comics is

Can't wait for next year. I'm gonna move out into the woods and become a cryptid for real. I'm gonna make weird stuff and be a true eccentric recluse. I'll set up a little online shop and mail out my wares from my secret lair and everything will be great. Maybe I'll make postcards.

Planning for a move, trying to vibe out my next workspace and trying desperately to resist the urge to just model it after a Red Dwarf set.

Life as a freelance artist/illustrator/comicer/whatever is quite frankly ridiculous and absolutely preposterous sometimes but the people are amazing. Absolute champions, working together and getting things made, for you, for all of us to enjoy. Love them comics peeps. Such camaraderie!

The Robocop Statue is up in Detroit and we're about to get the English translation patch for Segagaga? This is looking like a good Christmas, gang.

November 30th / December 1st

It's Zine day once again! Still on my nonsense, #88 months and counting! That's like 7 years plus for those of you playing at home. www.patreon.com/rikdraws if you've got money to burn to see some goofy sketches and art and stuff*! *I promise I'll post the stuff here eventually! Rik no paywalls.

Is there some kind of wishlisting/gifting system for indie creators comics/prints etc (primarily physical but digital too)? Aiming to nix my reliance on major corporation named after a river when it comes to Secret Santa shenanigans with my digital pals. If there isn't then there should be.

If you're planning on shopping during black Friday or cyber Monday, why not consider supporting artists, writers, creators? Buy a book, purchase an indie video game, commission an art piece, gift someone a Patreon. Your support means everything.
