Gonna try and treat this as a master post. This is Grumpo, and welcome to this place. I photograph bugs and cars, draw mostly light-hearted furry stuff, and watch and talk about old mecha anime. You can peek the replies to this post to see some of what I do!

I sometimes feel like I need to re-establish that Cooke is Rudy's parent and that Rudy is basically a comically large toddler :V
(also please don't be upset about him wearing a diaper it's just part of the whole schtick- again he's inspired by characters like Baby Huey or Looney Tunes' junior bear)

I got pissed at work so I snuck into a rival company down the street. I accidentally interrupted a meeting and I still got like three handshakes and some marketing swag and an application.

Anyone else ever have the issue of reaching out to an artist saying their work inspired you, show them the result of that inspiration, thank them- and they just never reply? (though one time I had someone outright say to remove them from my work)
I like to think they're just not social? But man...

I've been giving Helldivers 2 another go and it really is the ultimate American Experience because you seesaw between "AW YEAH THIS IS GREAT" and "GOD FUCKING DAMN IT EVERYTHING IS AWFUL AND WANTS TO KILL ME AND THE GOVERNMENT IS WORTHLESS" so rapidly that you'll want to vomit.

Woo, first full art of the year. Even though I'm in a rough spot currently, with my sleep and energy improving I really want to draw more. I figure a good way to start is with some refs, and this one's been overdue!

I may never be rich, or famous, or powerful, but at least I rest easier knowing my death will never be celebrated and what little legacy I have is not "wow what a piece of shit"
Now excuse me while I take a car nap

I'm worried the powered-up version might look too... evil? It's not an evil power-up form. I might just keep the eyes white and go with rose pupils. Sorta like when Goku and Gohan were just being normies in super saiyan form?
