Talk about horror versions of Pokémon and Animal Crossing reminded me of this thing I did a while back, figuring that AC: New Horizons was ripe for a cosmic horror spin-off…

Using #makeaterriblecomicday2025 as an excuse ignore the internal critic and get something out of my head.

Inspired by COLD REACTOR by Everything Everything
4-panel strip illustrating the opening lyrics of COLD REACTOR by Everything Everything: So we built the mountain By digging an almighty hole And on our backs, we carried every rock and stone But now, the hole is deeper Than anybody ever planned And we're blocking out the sun

QRP with your most popular piece on bsky

Well, while we're doing upsetting reinterpretations of popular culture figures...
An illustration of a bisected Minion lying on a plate in front of a hungry Gru, sat with cutlery clenched in his fists and a modesty cloth covering his eyes and concealing the shameful act from The Lord The text below is quoting @brainmage’s magnificent verse from the original post: [To the tune of 'Wouldn't It Be Nice' by The Beach Boys] 🎵Wouldn't it be nice 🎵To eat a Minion 🎵Holding up a towel to hide from god 🎵And wouldn't it be nice 🎵Though quite forbidden 🎵Savouring the yellow flesh of Bob

Found Australia's first and only proudly ork-owned rug store.
A photo of the front window display for a rug shop, showing the signage that proudly displays its name: BAZAARG. Yes, with a "G" at the end. Like someone started saying the word "bazaar" but got stabbed halfway through.

Post your favourite #DoctorWho. Wrong answers only.
Remember the BBC News Dad who was being interviewed on zoom when his tiny daughter wandered into the room? It's her at some kind of press conference, dressed like the world's coolest CEO and looking like she is thoroughly sick of everyone's shit.

Here’s a quick sketch as a thank-you for embedding that verse in my head ALL BLOODY DAY…

An attempt to exorcise a phrase that has been burned into my forebrain for far too long…

#illustration #procreate #typography #farts
A very colorful poster I made of the words FARTS ARE GHOSTS OF FOOD YOU’VE EATEN surrounded by little ghosts of a pizza slice, a chocolate bar, a hotdog and an ice-cream cone.

Sketch of a lady summoning a burning cake - a character from a DnD campaign I played. I managed to get procreate to animate the flames, but I'm buggered if I can figure out how to export it across to my phone in a format that bluesky likes.

…and because I’m not entirely thrilled with the lettering, here’s the picture on its own.
Just the headshot of The Commander without their signature catchphrase - you can just thank god for them in your head instead.

Don’t often get inspired to try my hand at people’s likenesses, but the RAW POWER of a photo of @commandersterling.bsky.social pretty much forced my hand.

Repost your profile pic

Mine is a procreate illustration I did based on something I doodled in the margins while in a work meeting.
An illustration of a sort of robot-faced person in a circular frame with a background of various tangled cables, all of it in various shades of red.

If you see this, post your orange art!
A sort of bust of a robot, with a couple of people observing a bank of computers in the background. All drawn in various shades of glorious orange.

Been trying to get this picture to work for a long time, scrapped so many attempts at backgrounds and ended up just throwing some colour at it.

Here’s a doomed pilot.

A guy in some sort of lycra suit looking terrified. His hands are conveniently out of frame to save me from drawing a six-fi steering column. And also fingers.

Here’s some stuff I created in an ongoing attempt to shoehorn stuff I enjoy into my grown-up job.
I ran a short training session on the concept of “Magic” in TTRPGs. Including some bespoke character sheets that I knocked up for people on the course with me.

#DnD #TTRPG #illustration
Character sheet for SIR GILDAN OF THE LOOM, created for a colleague who owns a ludicrous amount of T-shirts Character sheet for THE WIZARD’S INTERN, created for a colleague who is very much a Disney Adult Character picture for another colleague - a necromantically resurrected skellington bodyguard in a tux. And a last character portrait for a person who has been magically infused with some clay for reasons that escape me at the moment.

Stumbled across a fashion school exhibition a couple years back which included what looked like a wizard robe made out of shredded trash bags.

The term “bin-wizard” landed in my brain and had to be exorcised by sketching it.
A wizard wearing a robe and hat made out of shredded bin-bags, hanging out by some bins. Like you do.

Did a little doodle of the player characters in a lite #DnD campaign filled with stupidity, fireworks and Gerblins.

It’s #portfolioday here, I gather.

I do some art stuff, almost entirely for my own pleasure. I dunno, here’s some stuff I’ve drawn that I think looks okay:
A giant neon samurai A robot head and some scientists A fantasy tavern on legs with some improvised battlement attachments Some dudes hitting each other
