A quick sketch of Spock in carbon pencil dressed up with a bit of marker.

City of Six-Lumières in the kingdom of Monelia.

I always imagined the land of Monelia as a very dark land, the entire land is under permanent darkness.

But, with this drawing, I started to think that maybe, it would be nice to add more colors, some variety to all this monotone palette of black and black.

If I had to draw a landscape of this city again in the future, I would probably add tables for restaurants with candles, and maybe other ideas that would flow to my mind by then.

As a way to stem boredom on the exercise bike (so I'll actually use it) I decided to paint while biking. The one below is 40 minutes on the bike. I finished it with 20 minutes on the couch. That was fun!

Made a promise to myself to finish three things today - a three hour movie I started, a book I've been reading over the past couple of months, and another card. Success!

Another piece of Hanuman in different stages of his life. Made with Krita in 2025.

This one is going to be a free gift of my own to a previous client, as this is her late mother's name, I'm sorry for her loss ☹️😭

I spray painted it gold, though I'm sure my tablet camera doesn't show it. It came out about 8.5 inches long.

I've been sort of making more than I've been wanting to share. The drawings have been settling around the same space without dramatic changes. Needing to rescan, and clean up the scanner/images every time is getting too much of a chore also; I need a robot assistant.

Ormai il mese di Inktober sta finendo, ma ecco anche il disegno per oggi e la parola Dumb.

My most recent drawing.

Was imagining that this character would not be comfortable around the sun in general. Initial idea was drawing her retreating into an alleyway, but then it flowed into this.

The reference was gorgeous and I decided I needed to paint it, I used my phone for this since I'm out and about.

Yes this is a real name, a doctor's name, spelling confirmed off the patient's prescription bottle. 9 letters, the longest name I've made so far.

I started with the longest straightened coathanger I had available, approximately 43.5 inches long. Knowing I might end up running short on material with 9 letters, I made this one at around 3/4 of my typical scale.

The final result you see is about 10 inches long, and I even had about 8 inches of excess to trim off at the end, meaning that it only took about 35.5 inches of material to make. Hey though, I'd much rather end up with a bit of excess than end up a letter short on material and wasted time. It took about an hour and a half to make.

I really hate working at this scale though, as some bends that I'm usually comfortable with seem nearly impossible when scaled down. But I made it happen at least.

Sorry that all measurements are in inches, I'll leave it to the readers/viewers out there to convert to common units. 🍌

Edit: Can anyone explain how the hell autocorrect morphed this name into Miranda when it was originally texted to me?

Oggi un po' in ritardo ma sono in pari con i giorni di Inktober, anche per oggi con Zip.
