Here to post doodles and comics following the adventures of my sailor crew! Done in watercolours & markers, sometimes gouache. (my online activity is spotty at best!)

If you're hanging around here, you've probably made peace with the fact I mostly draw these sea-adjacent blokes & felines. I figured it's now or never; time only marches forward!

Great work, this one was my favourite from the little compilation you posted earlier. Nice detail on the bow!

Fantastic design. He looks like he'd beat me up, but I'd still be willing to hang out to find out more about him!

Oh my, the pirate get-up suits her so well!

True that! I've also heard it has good potential to be used in cancer diagnosis and if that's the case, then I'm all for it.

But generative AI and those pointless (& sometimes very misleading) summaries are certainly vomit-inducing!

I like his gloves so much, haha. Shiny!

I'm utterly fascinated by Saggy tits (don't take this out of context, though), yet at the same time I feel like the name is so descriptive that I don't really need any further explanation!!

Seeing this crap for the first time enraged me. YouTube's comment sections are a delicate environment of humour, savagery and pure insanity. Adding AI to it feels like pouring a barrel of sulphuric acid into an isolated cave lake. Adding AI to anything feels like that to be frank!

I'm excited! I like these three and the pharmacy clerk too, they're a nice addition to your existing cast :)

Oh yeah, they definitely have that 'obsessive fangirl' body language to them :D

Good to see everyone has recovered from the latest incident! Both physically and mentally it seems :D

Love the girls' seasonal outfits & goofy poses! I wonder if each one of them has a distinctive run like Ed, Edd and Eddy? (& I didn't notice them at first, but the autumn leaf earrings are so fun!)

Amazing work on the water splashes! (that seal is royally screwed, noooo)

Lmaoo, not the first thing that would come to my mind with that particular prompt, but I absolutely love your take on it xD

That nutty smile from the second one is Oscar-worthy, LMAO

You're welcome & that's hilarious, I'm glad he reacted the way he did :D Sometimes blurting out the most spontaneous things really takes you places!!

bluesman ⚓ @umpleframple.bsky.social · 2d

You're welcome & I really like that one too, it's good to see it again <3 Words to live by, haha!

I really enjoy these badger chronicles! This one in particular... Oh my, oh my, I wonder why...
