Double Fine's new game is out! RAtM voice: Kiln is the name of store.steampowered.com/app/1165990/...

I didn’t finish a solid drawing in time! But here’s an attempt of the goddess in Double Fine’s new pottery-based multiplayer PvP game Kiln. She is staring at the viewer while some pots hang upside down behind her dumping water streams.

More more Spidey

A drawing of Spider-man bracing his legs against the side of the Hulk, pulling on webbing that has ensnared Hulk’s oversized fist. Hulk looks enraged (how unusual!), Spidey looks strained.

Bootyonetta

The titular character of the Bayonetta games, in a graceful gun ballet pose, or at least as graceful as my clunky style gets. She wears glasses and long black hair tied high and intertwined with red ribbon and gold chain, and a skin tight black suit with pistols on her high heels.

More Spidey

A messy little drawin’ of Spider-man swinging on a web. Assume he’s up to some spider stuff.

Spider-man, Daredevil, Punisher. Just some dudes chillin'

Marvel’s Daredevil & Spider-man are sitting on the cornice of a NYC rooftop where Punisher stands behind them, and a water tower stands behind him. They are at rest, as if being photographed for an album cover.

also applies to previous years

A mock retrospective of my 2025, reading “A look back at my year in art” next to a picture of me smiling and drawing, followed by a paper with a turd and “CRAP!” written over it, then an illustration of an overflowing garbage can with “TRASH!” over it, then an illustration of scribbled out mess and “UGGHH” written over it, and finally a doodle of Chun Li and its phrase simply being “CHUN LI!”

Cheryl Williams (The Evil Dead) #evildead

Cheryl, the sister of Ash Williams, from The Evil Dead (1981), after she’s been demonically possessed and trapped in a cellar, peeking through a trapdoor. Her hair is chaotic, her eyes red, her face inhumanly wrinkled and patchy. Though the imagery of this moment is iconically creepy and taunting, I’ve instead drawn her resting her chin over her folded arms and smiling amiably, like she’s posing in a photoshoot.

Princess Daisy (Super Mario Strikers) #nintendo #fanart

A drawing of Princess Daisy from Super Mario Strikers on the Gamecube. She is hunched over in a nigh crouch while her elbows are raised. Her fists, teeth are clenched. She wears soccer garb: an orange short sleeve top, orange shorts & socks, and a small crown atop her long brown hair. Her attitude looks feral because she seems ready to stomp people out in that game.

Ulala (Space Channel 5)

An illustration of Ulala from Sega’s Space Channel 5. She wears blue headphones over pink pigtailed hair and smiles at the viewer. She wears scant, retro sci-fi clothing that feels like a mix between 60s and Y2K, all of it orange with some light trim. The top is like a sports bra that rises into a flared rigid collar, and below is a short miniskirt that also flares out. She wears orange gloves that cover the forearms, and her left hand is holding her Space Channel 5 microphone (she’s an investigative reporter). A blue ray gun is strapped to her right thigh, and a jetpack attached to her back.

Morrigan #darkstalkers #art

A rough illustration of Morrigan from Capcom’s Darkstalkers franchise. She is facing left in a midair pose, her left knee raised to her bosomsome chest which is barely contained by the dark bodice over her purple, bat-patterned tights. She has long flowing seafoam green hair, and 2 pairs of purple bat wings: a large set on her back, and smaller wings coming out of the top of her head as if from a Halloween headband. Her arms are relaxedly outstretched for balance, the biceps covered by a ring of feathers attached to her leotard, and the forearms covered by pale orange sleeves.

Deadpoo'

A drawing of Marvel comic character Deadpool (Wade Wilson). depicted from the hips up holding a sidearm such that the top of the slide rests against his temple, as if he’s recklessly scratching his head with it. He wears a red & black (or dark blue) body suit that covers him entirely. He has pouch-adorned shoulder straps and twin katanas sheathed at his back.

Michael Firman @michaelfirman.bsky.social · 8mo ago

An illustration of Rogue from the X-Men comics, depicted from the hips up & leaning forward. Her long hair is brunette but with a large section of it being white, and it’s over a green headband. She is lightly smiling to the viewer, and wears a short brown jacket over her green & yellow unitard. I’ve also drawn her wearing long yellow gloves that are bound near the elbow.

A drawing of Gears of Wars characters Augustus Cole, Marcus Fenix, and Damon Baird. They’re drawn light-heartedly with beefy proportions in beefy armour, each holding a rifle with chainsaw at the front like it’s a bayonet. Cole rests his elbow on Fenix’s shoulder, and they all scowl.
