Guess what.............. It's animated!

(if I could get the WAHOO WEEKEND shirt the person on the ship was wearing I would, but I think it's for a very local event in America, so the chances I could get it here in the UK are very, very low qwq)

Art of... an in-joke within an in-joke

Did you know there is a fish called a Wahoo? I think about it a lot. Then, while on a cruise in Japan, a guy was wearing a "WAHOO WEEKEND" shirt. Now whenever we play D&D on Friday, I sneak a doodle of a Wahoo to my wife. Now I can spam her on Discord too...
An illustration of a long, blue fish with the the text "WAHOO" at the top, and "WEEKEND" at the bottom. The fish is viewed side-on and has a slightly silly smile and a wide eye. The fish also has a rough striped pattern beginning after it's head and ending at the tail. The background is a very pale mint green and pastel pink checker-board pattern.

Happy 10th Anniversary to Undertale… I wanted to draw something to celebrate one of my favourite games of all time, so I drew a bunch of my favourite areas.

Timelapse video is linked below!

#Undetale #Undertale10thAnniversary
An illustration featuring five areas from the video game "Undertale". Starting clockwise from the 12 position, the first area shows a tile floor leading to a door, the room is illuminated by four lights on the door, a vending machine, and a screen on the wall. The next illustration shows the main character, Frisk, from a bugs-eye perspective; they are surrounded by tall, leafless trees. The next shows a dark area with neon-blue water, almost neon-blue trees, and a variety of waterside foliage in the foreground. In the background, the silhouettes of Frisk and Monster Kid can be seen. The next illustration shows a bench, with a slide of quiche on a plate in front of it. The final illustration depicts a long hallway surrounded by open space and pipe work, leading to a door with light spilling out of it.

My fiancé is making me take down the Rogue the Bat painting in the bathroom while her parents are looking after our cats. smh... I'm sure they'd appreciate real art...

On the door hangs a painting of Rogue, an anthropomorphic Bat from the Sonic the Hedgehog series, looking at the viewer. On the left-hand side of the painting in black text reads, "Pissing all by yourself handsome?"

So @sarcastic-sketches.bsky.social, @kaidashade.bsky.social and I were doing some Alters of Sorrows in Destiny 2, and the shielded Wizard got stuck out of bounds. Wanted to see how high we could get the "Time Remaining" counter from +1 second enemies, & if it capped at 15 minutes, or 30, or 60...

I finally got around to decanting my oak gall ink which has uh. been brewing for over a year. I was a little worried about the resulting ink not being good quality/usable but just from some test swatches it's very consistent and produces a very solid black. Just need to do some waterproof tests now!
A set of four photographs showing the process of oak gall ink being strained, funnelled, and stored in three glass jars. Photo one shows the ink and gall-debris straining into a pot. The second photo shows one jar filled, with another having a funnel in it. The third photo shows the three completed jars, and the final photo shows a test swatch of the ink on paper, having dried.
