One of those weekend things keeping a 7 year old busy. James and I had to draw a 4 panel Mighty & Ray (it's a #SonictheHedgehog thing) comic. I really enjoyed his choices of comedy and action from the mini brief I gave him per panel. And yes. I'm 41 and my art is utter tripe 😂

I regret not being able to keep up or get Into parts of my favourite franchises for a significant time in the 2000s onwards. I missed out on lots of stuff that's really tough to get hold of. Been rooting around for Transformers comics I missed out on and getting certain anime on disk. It's hard!

#Transformers the movie this evening for its 40th anniversary screenings with my 7 year old son in tow. Still fantastic. Thought the short was...a thing. Didn't blow me away but nice to hear Cullen/Welker one final time. Sons first time seeing the film and he was beyond excited when it started!

A mostly English translated version of Shadowrun for #MegaCD has been released for PAL (NTSCU is being worked on says the creator) Some menu elements and the odd option are untranslated but the story is fully followable as evidences by the fact I'm 2 acts completed. Brilliant stuff!
