Based off of Ali's Favourite Desserts:
Tropical and Zesty Lime Sorbet Ghosts
And yes, they are girlfriends :3

She's really proud of the graves, but I do feel Ali cheated with the monsters haha
+ This was inspired by the Scooby Doo Ice cream Ghosts

#SketchAQuest
#IceScream
#Monsters #Food

Two Ghosts looking at each other floating by their gravestones, where the dirt is sorbet.

The green ghost is based off the zesty lime sorbet, she has leafy hair and her tail starts to turn to a murky yellow to reference ginger
She also is more sharp and angular compared to the yellow one to highlight the zesty-ness.

The yellow ghost is based off the tropical sorbet, she has a straight cut with a hair leaf that sticks out and her tail starts to turn pink to reference guava
She's also more round and soft compared to the green one to resemble a mango and to show a warm bubbly personality.

Based off of Ali's Favourite Fruit:
Vampire Fruit Bat [Lychee]

Ali had the vision for the bat mode first and it all came together so well. After figuring out the Bat mode she then drew the vampire. Idk how often she has blood but like one drop will spell disaster haha

#SketchAQuest
#Monsters #Food

A Lychee themed Vampire and her Bat mode.

Bat:
Using lovely reddish/pink wings to create the peel of the fruit
A cute round little white head poking out reference the fresh of a lychee
And the brown legs acting as the stalk

Vampire:
Quite a simple look but I think it's quite striking, the classic 'vampire holding up their cape to make a huge silhouette' pose
Her cape is styled after the same peel as the wings of the bat mode.
The rest of her is white par from some hints of red and a few accessories
The face still has a lot of bat influence
The outfit is a mix of modern and old
White shirt, jeans and high heel boots and a jabot with a gem which looks like the seed of a lychee.

Based off of Ali's Favourite Vegetable:
Instead of Plants Vs Zombies here's-
Plants + Zombies = Onion Zombie

Alliums are also one of Ali's favourite flowers which may have created a bit of a bias :|
But Onions are so versatile, how can you not appreciate them?

#SketchAQuest
#PVZ
#Monsters #Food

An Onion Zombie, who is crying, standing on the classic checkered garden of the PVZ games.

She wears multiple layers, for obvious reason haha, including a light/bright brown blazer, a pale desaturated green shirt and a dark brown skirt, topped off with an allium in the top right quarter of the blazer and a tie with colours similar to a spring onion.

Her hair is styled after a sprouting onion, with fresh green strands with a brown side part meant to harken to the dry first layer that can start peeling away at the top of an onion.
She also has dark brown shoes to match her dress [this colour was chosen because of the roots of an onion]
There are also a few purple highlight to call back to the allium :3

Based off of Ali's Favourite Breakfast:
'It's pooling- POOLING Catherine.'
It's a Crumpet Tortoise Mutant.

Another hot take [or perhaps burnt take] is that Ali prefers her crumpets slightly burnt... she says it add a new texture and favour to enjoy...

#SketchAQuest
#Monsters #Food

A Mutant Tortoise Girl, standing on the edge of a stake pool, whilst holding a skateboard which looks like a shortened butter knife.

She wears a yellow beanie in reference to the pooling butter one should always slather onto a crumpet.
Her shell is made to resemble a burnt crumpet with it's holes filled with butter.

Based off of Ali's 2nd Favourite Meal:
Monster of the Apple Cider Pork Lagoon

Drawing clear inspiration from the angler fish, she thought it would be cute and funny to add some men of this ¿species?

IRL male angler fish are like these small pathetic leech type guys

#SketchAQuest
#Monsters #Food

A female sea monster, accompanied by some males of the same monster species, floating in a 'lagoon' of apple cider with 'seaweed' [thyme] waving in the foreground.

The female sea monster has a head resembling that of an angler fish, but with an apple as a bobber instead of the usual light. Frilled out from her neck are fins camouflaged like vegetation, in this case bay leaves. She has a short barreled torso with her lungs able to expand through her chest. The limbs are lanky with webbed fingers and toes. She is also wearing some cute swimming trunk, with colours and pattern referencing a 'My Little Pony' character [Applejack]. Her skin is coloured like cooked pork.

The men look like small pig like fishies with big lips [coloured similar to the woman]

be silly forever

Digital comic page. The upper left panel depicts a younger version of the poster's sona, saying: "I can't like him (referring to a fictional character)... he's mean to people!" The next panel, labeled "now", shows the poster's sona enthused about meeting Jax from The Amazing Digital Circus. The final panel on the bottom depicts Jax in fear of the poster's sona, shapeshifted into a terrifying beast, saying: "Be nice to Gangle, though."

Tbubz maps are out and this is where I'll be: Bubbleboy Hall, D13 (D13a)

You'll be able to find me at @thoughtbubbleuk.bsky.social by looking for D13 in Bubbleboy Hall, or by saying something mean about Bill Mantlo's Alpha Flight run (none of my comics have anything to do with Alpha Flight)

A map of a section of Though Bubble's Bubbleboy Hall, with crudely drawn on notes directing the reader to table D13.

Based off of Ali's Favourite Meal:
A Werewolf in Shepherd's Pie Clothing

She doesn't like Potatoes to everyone's horror
She always substitutes it with Sweet Potatoes

To ease the hearts of those who would be destressed by such atrocities she's made an alt just for you

#SketchAQuest
#Monsters #Food

A female werewolf design, based off of Shepherd's Pie. In the background there are hills, with an abstracted herd of sheep being guided through it be this werewolf shepherd.

She wears a fluffy hoodie both meant to resemble fluffy sweet potato mash and the wool of a sheep [here dyed orange]
Her and tights are inspired by the filling of a Shepherd's Pie:
Lamb mince, Sauce, Onion, Carrots, Celery and Garlic

#MiscreantsComic No. 160 - Nosy (10/11/25)

A three-panel comic.
In panel one, Jot is talking over the phone, saying, "Yeah, so basically..."
Flick is next to her, eagerly anticipating some juicy drama.
In panel two, Jot turns to and glares at Flick, who is facing the exact opposite direction and whistling. Truly innocent.
In panel three, Jot continues, now speaking in an audio wave. This is, in fact, not in the form of readable words. As such, it cannot be read, which Flick is upset about.

#tanglethelemur #ralsei #serialdesignationN

Digital artwork made to resemble a polaroid photo resting on a wooden surface. The photograph is labeled "ICE CREAM BUDS!!!" and depicts Tangle the Lemur, Serial Designation N, and Ralsei smiling at the camera. Tangle uses her tail to give Ralsei 'bunny ears', while N does the same with his hand behind Tangle's head, although he does it too high up.

Thought Bubble is perilously close and I'm locking into the same old panic I do every time which is trying to finish 3 new projects when what I should be doing is concentrating on the two projects I released a month and a half ago, and getting some more of those ready.
