I know Thanator is a well loved creature from the Avatar universe, but did you know there's different species? I combined the movie Thanator with a Petrified Forest Thanator for this one!

This was a tough one to draw, body wise. They're so lean yet muscular

4 panel comic

P1: a cartoon me, sat at a table --with a blank sheet of paper and a pencil on its surface-- grimacing in pain as he clutches his right wrist. Thinking to himself, he says "AUGH! My drawing hand hurts! Don't think I'll be able to draw a comic toda--"

P2: APPEAR! Suddenly, a larger and far more crudely drawn version of my cartoon self appears on the right. He has a big doofy grin onhis face. Original cartoon me, in shock, says "GASP! W-who --WHAT-- are you?"

P3: Via an equally crudely drawn (and written) speech bubble and text, crude cartoon me says "I'm you when you stop giving a shite about drawing well"

P4: Suddenly, original cartoon me gets transformed into a crudely drawn form. The other crude self finishes on "in my imperfection I am perfect in every way"

Goodnight Stoneybatter! Quiet night but still on the verge of having rent made! A few good overnight orders might clear the hurdle!

As much as I miss the long summer days, the shop looks lovely in the autumn evening.

Purgatory 6/10/2025

Everyone has their towering walls of prints and stickers, but I make heavy ass books and need to innovate on my presentation.

Anyway online I don’t have to build any shelves linktr.ee/detectiveken

October 6 2025.
This week, Ken has a colonoscopy and he’s still getting over it. The prep took days and the sedation didn’t work but even now, a week later, he’s still adjusting back.
Elsewhere DCAF happened. Ken’s been iterating on his table set up to add some verticality but it still needs a lot of work. Meanwhile, his tablemate had been getting street passes on a 3DS and Ken was struggling to keep up sales wise

Upgraded my iPad (Literally moved from the 2017 iPad Pro to the 2018, and it feels several generations newer) and it supports some cheaper Pencil alternatives, so I grabbed one for €20 and here’s a Bret Hart I doodled with it.
