Inktober Day 11 Short-eared Owl. No prompts.

More air clay work. Water colour paint. I have a resident squirrel, who I have named Melanie. She left an acorn in my garden and now I have a little oak tree.

This is a memorial piece for my dog, Gripper. I’m very happy with how it turned out.

An animatronic especially designed for a particular individual to climb into it, only for them to get impaled by a variety of steel bits. However, this particular individual was never captured, for their execution was performed only several days after the finishing of this product... so it sits, motionless, in the unused areas of Ringmaster's Pizza Hall. Drawn with FireAlpaca. (Why does this animatronic have eyes while the rest don't? Wouldn't you like to know, weather boy? (quote Jester during an interview.))

Here are the two tall animatronics. Jester (the one on the left) and Dellusion (the one on the right). They run a pizzaria. Jester and Dellusion are both sentient, but the others aren't. I'm still working on a final version of the shorter animatronics. But for now, have these two! I'm still trying to find a satisfying color palette for Dellusion, so if you have any ideas, let me know! Tomorrow, if I haven't finished the shorter animatronics, I'll post the piskel sprites I've made for them. This picture was drawn with FireAlpaca.

Yet more Washi tape has been acquired!

After a productive couple of days, it’s a Mark Lanegan and manga kind of night here.

Ok, I promise the next one will be cute.

Nothing matters when you are asleep!

Having a go at something other than narwhals and belugas today... bowhead whales namely! I really like how this one turned out. :-)

Patron Saint of Dawn and Dusk and Fog. Dedicated to the Hedgehog in the Fog, one of the best animations ever and to the Horse in it as one of the best mystical creatures in the film. #dailyDrawing #PatronSaint

I love to start with 3 boxes, and then see what comes out as I fill them in.

Mushrooms, moons and squids… also known as, the usual suspects.

Sunday night whale songs.

Nothing much to add really...

A weird fox, available as stickers at Redbubble. I don't know why I keep drawing flying; normally not flying, animals, anyone?

A bit of art therapy from this time last week after an overheated and, at times, shit-tacular day at work = the best kind of therapy.

I sort of despise how this came out. But, all artists have their ups and downs. Drawn with FireAlpaca.

Standard blue Pentel RSVP ballpoint pen.

When February feels a bit January but you still feel inspired…

A spot of Henri Cartier-Bresson’s wisdom always gets me by... :-)

And that concludes another sketchbook! New one incoming...

An animatronic I made in Minecraft --- I know it sounds a little cringe, but I constantly build pizzerias, add armor stands to act as animatronics, and make a FNaF map. I'd then invite friends and have them sit in the office, while I move the armor stands. This animatronic is named "Dijon", sort of like the mustard. I only drew Dijon, but there's another animatronic, "Dijona", who has a lighter suit color. These guys are sort of like the Fredbear and Spring bonnie of the pizzerias I've made. I might draw more later. Drawn with FireAlpaca (and I play on the Nintendo Switch).

Christmas cat looking for bright light.

Praying mantis in charcoal and graphite.

Horse eye done in graphite. Took about 3 hrs to complete. I’m really happy with how it turned out, but this was my first time doing a detailed eye so I would love to hear what you guys think!

Prospects for this month that’s not long started? Here’s hoping!
