Completely out of nowhere, for no reason that I can discern, I can suddenly get into my DMs here again after two-and-a-bit months of them being locked off. So, if you should happen to feel like sending a DM my way, I will in fact be able to read it now. Which is nice.

I think I've finally shaken off the art block, thanks in no small part to @sintoj.bsky.social and his amazing Perception Check: Goblin Mode animation, which inspired me to put pencil to paper and sketch a gobbo character I've had in mind for a while. Meet Naylz, thrash rocker and rowdy wee blighter!

Yacóron started his boxing career mostly for the fun of the fight. He hasn't lost any of his enjoyment as his skills has improved over the years. Now his grin usually means you are in a heap of trouble.
I've really grown to love @guyn.io's Yacóron and @dadotronic.com has captured him perfectly!

The match between Finch and Alice has entered the middle rounds, and Alice needs a quick break with a clinch. Hope he doesn't mind if the dog rests here for just a little longer...
Very nice art by @notfishie.bsky.social, I love what he did here!

I see a lot of people talking about the A1200 mini.

Blue is in a handicap match vs Rey Búho and Lana Baja! The Water dog is in trouble as he's set up for a devastating high risk maneuver! Will Blue be able to recover from this, or will he be eating a loss against these two powerful wrestlers!

Not sure if Crash was expecting an easier match because of Bruce's hiatus, but the prodigy's skills seem to still be well honed. More than that, looks like Bruce is using Crash to send a message to his doubters.
