HAPPY 6TH ANNIVERSARY!!!

#toydrill_art | #selfship | #yumesky

A drawing of the artist's self insert and William Murderface from Metalocalypse against a pink background. Each are making the shape of half of a heart with their arms, making a full heart as they stand side by side. Murderface's hand is placed on the self insert's waist. At the bottom left corner, the words "Happy 6th anni!! 2.22" are handwritten with hearts around it.

The artist's self insert is a young adult with brown skin, dark brown eyes, and dark brown hair worn naturally in an afro, held back by a black headband. He is wearing a heavily cropped black shirt that says 'PLANET PISS' in neon yellow letters against a cartoon planet and a pair of green mini shorts. He has visible stretch marks on his hips, and beauty marks on the left side of under his mouth and above his left eyebrow.

William Murderface is a broad middle-aged man with curly brown hair styled naturally, slightly tan skin, a bushy mustache, stubble, and thick eyebrows. He is grinning widely, showing off a gap tooth between his front teeth. He is wearing a blue t-shirt, a gray leather vest, dark gray long shorts, and a black long-sleeved undershirt that covers three-quarters of his arms. On his right wrist, he wears a gray wristband, and light scarring is visible on the skin that isn't covered by the sleeve or wristband.

date night with the two most insufferable people you know

#toydrill_art | #selfship | #yumesky

A drawing of Massenet and Glenn Dolphman from Inside Job sitting next to each other against a cool gray background.

Massenet is a young adult with brown skin, dark brown hair styled in an afro with a cool gray headband, and two prominent beauty marks under the left side of his lip and above his left eyebrow. He is wearing a black jacket with a cool gray fur collar, a white button up, gray vest, black miniskirt, dark sheer tights, and knee high black boots with red soles.

Glenn Dolphman is a heavyset older man with dolphin features, including webbed fingers and a dolphin like snout. He has brown hair, one brown eyebrow (he doesn't have a left eyebrow), and some visible red spots on the side of his head. He is visibly blushing and sweating. He is wearing a brown jacket, white button up, khaki pants, and brown loafers. In one hand, he holds a cigarette.

a brief (if literal) bit of reflection (cw for discussions of disordered eating/negative body image)

#toydrill_art | #yumesky | #selfship

Judas: Tighter.
Ronin: ...You're kidding me, right?
Judas: Ronin--
Ronin: Jeez, fine. Okay, 1... 2...
Judas: Ggrk--!!
Ronin: Okay, that's as tight as I'm willing to go. (Almost made me break a damn sweat...)
Judas: Hm.

Judas: Well, I guess it'll have to do for now.
Ronin: It still beats me why you do this when you just sit at your stand all day. ...No offense.
Judas: Looks are very important when it comes to selling products.
Ronin: Well, I heard breathing is great for retaining your client base--
Judas: Bite me.

Ronin: Listen, I really worry about you when I'm gone.
Judas: You mean 'in jail'?
Ronin: ...Not relevant. I just think you need to take better care of yourself. I mean, when's the last time you had a real meal? And don't think I don't see you sneak off to--
Judas: Ronin. I... I get it. It's scary. You don't know how, or even if you can help. But how do you think I feel? Do you think I like being like this? That I want to scare or hurt you?

Judas: It sucks, but I'm the master of illusions. It's a waste of my abilities if I don't care how people see me. I just-- I want people to like me. That's all.
Ronin: Well, you've got me in your corner, if that counts.
Judas: Ronin...
Ronin: See, now that's the kinda scolding I like to hear. Now, let's go. My treat, your pick.
Judas: Well... if you're offering...
Ronin: ...How much is this gonna run me? (At least he's back to his old self...)

failed step one.
#toydrill_art #ninjago

Two sketches of the characters Ronin and Vinny Folson from LEGO Ninjago. Ronin is a white man in his 40s with messy, layered auburn hair, a visible stubble, and a leather eyepatch with metal fixtures over his right eye. He is smiling smugly. He wears a desaturated turquoise turtleneck, a desaturated green chestplate with red arm straps, and a copper robotic arm prosthetic attached via a plate that covers half of his upper chest. Next to him, a note reads "i haven't drawn him [in] (sic) a few [years] (sic) sorry".

Vinny is a tanned younger man in his twenties with short, cropped black hair, a blue baseball cap, a matching blue jacket with sleeves rolled up to his elbows, and a white t-shirt underneath. Pinned to his jacket is a simplified identification card. He is waving awkwardly towards a character off screen, with a small bead of sweat running down his cheek.
