Day 8 of my #inktober! This game was the best way to go through quarters at the arcade. I still have no idea how to properly play it, but the teaser that plays on the loading screen is big nostalgia!
Day 6 of my game themed #inktober! The music for this game really made my 9 year old brain explode with endorphins. It was a different time:)
Day 5 of my #inktober! Metal gear solid never took itself too seriously in my opinion. Which is what made it fun for me:)
Day 2 of my game themed #inktober, X-Men Arcade! The games on my list are all favorites of mine, but the order is arbitrary.
I’m doing a game theme this year for inktober. I thought I would start with one of my first games ever… Stick!
Found this beauty in my back yard. It is huge, and named the yellow garden spider. Which sounds very mundane for something the size of a skulltula.

Just got in some new NEXT DOOR DUNGEON spot illustrations by @elliscomics.bsky.social. This one's from a moment when Baubles (the rhinoceros) has Had Enough. I love dropping little image treats like this into NEXT DOOR DUNGEON. www.royalroad.com/fiction/1507...
Speaking of my ongoing NEXT DOOR DUNGEON series, I dropped in another illustration by @elliscomics.bsky.social. This one is a bulljaw, a rather boisterous critter. It's in Chapter 16, but of course you should read from the start to get all the story n' goodies! www.royalroad.com/fiction/1507...
I'm going to be occasionally dropping some spot illustrations into the prose, too. I'm having my pal @elliscomics.bsky.social help with that!
Grateful for my friends and family, my health and home, and everyone following along here:)
Finishing the 5th Elephant audiobook again. Never a disappointment to me:) Here’s some sketching of Gaspode the dog.

Take a gander at this sketch cover of Wolverine:) In my head the argument started over who would pay the check :)
Currently pinned under a cat listening to a disc world novel. Life doesn’t suck everywhere all the time. Let it be known:)
Frankenstein 2025 was enjoyable, but felt a bit pieced together. It’s such a Byronic take on the story you’ll almost forget Mary Shelley wrote the book.
