Thanks for the art share! I’m a traditional artist who has branched out a bit with OCs but mostly sticks with fanart. Particularly fanart of stuff that doesn’t have much art anywhere else.

Alphafemale: Orange-felt-skinned werewolf muppet with long brown hair and tail, green T-shirt with black leather jacket, black jeans, B-shaped sunglasses, yellow eyes, black choker with gold pendent engraved,
"ABC",
", ABC blocks on the brick wall over her head Su: Aqua-green mummy with amethyst "eyes" and lapis lazuli eye shadow; dressed in gold dress, holding a recorder (instrument), charming Sammy the Snake
Heidi Siek (Petite, teenaged Muppet girl with lavender felt skin, short-cut auburn hair with blue highlights, blue-grey eyes with black, thick-rimmed glasses, black choker with red potion pendant, molecular T-shirt, black and red-checkered skirt) holding vial with a potion inside, fumes reflecting the image of her D&D character, a cleric barbarian hobgoblin with long blue hair, green skin, white robe, and Amulet of Greater Healing.

Mummy from Groovie Goolies dressed as Seymour from "Little Shop of Horrors" and OC Su (aqua-green mummy with amethyst "eyes") dressed in Aubrey's black leopard-print dress, black and gold heels, blonde bob, pink lipstick, and gold onyx necklace) in front of a red brick wall; Orville as Aubrey Il's silhouette in the background

Boris Karloff, Arnold Vosloo, and Groovie Goolies version of Imhotep/The Mummy as the three-headed dragon meme; Emperor Han from Dragon Emperor with a confused expression

Frankie (dressed in a suit of armor with a blue and bronze sword), Mummy (reading a scroll with green handles), and Wolfie (wearing a crown with a cross and gold thorns around it; purple robe; and black-spotted fur outer garment; seated on a blue and gold throne; playing a lyre) from Groovie Goolies with the lyrics to "Soldier, Poet, King" by The OhHellos! in the background

Awesome! Like my fanfic, my comic equates The Mummy from Groovie Goolies 1970 with Imhotep from The Mummy 1999! The juxtaposition is hilariously refreshing!

Comic, actually! It’s essentially a direct response to Universal’s attempt at a Dark Universe.

Poe from Ruby Gloom has brothers by the way. Named Edgar and Allan of course. They are gigantic

An illustration of Poe and his brothers, Edgar and Allan, standing in a line. They are from Ruby gloom by the way.

From left to right:
Poe stands, smugly facing his brothers. He is short
Edgar blankly stares at Poe. He is tall.
Allan blankly stares at Poe. He is also tall.

Audiobooks are great to listen to when you’re working on something else, like drawing. I prefer it over actual music, as music can be too distracting. Outside of that, I will always prefer physical books. #NotAloneTalk

My character’s name is Kharis (after the Hammer Films version of The Mummy), a sorcerer elf. He’s the village healer. I could never be DM; got the creativity for it but not the attention span. #NotAloneTalk

Had a great group of students Thursday at work! 4th grade. If I’m being honest, 4th grade is one of my favorite age groups, even more than high school sometimes. #NotAloneTalk

We try to do it every weekend, but our usual group got busy over the summer and we got busy ourselves. We just figured we’d wait and pick it back up in the fall. #NotAloneTalk

Panel 1: A dying Hagatha settling against a tree stump, blood seeping out her neck. Drac's hand over the wounds. Hagatha: "Dear, sweet Dracula.." Panel 2: Drac's bereft, remorseful face, blood dribbling from his fangs, down his chin. In the background are two gnarled, dead trees. Drac: O Hagatha, my love...l begged you to stay away... All those years ago...
Panel 3: Hagatha: Drac...Go find The Mummy...And fly me to Hamunaptra...
Panel 4: Hagatha slumps full-body against the tree stump and dies, having succumbed to her blood-loss; Drac hangs his head, presumably weeping over her body.

The Mummy (Groovie Goolies), The Count (Sesame Street), and Twoflower (Discworld) are riding in a red and yellow car. Mummy and Count are in front with angry expressions. Twoflower is in the back, holding his camera, looking confused and slightly annoyed. Pink clouds in a bluish-grey sky and purple buildings in the background

Heard a loud popping sound Sunday night. Turned out to be one of those Pillsbury biscuit cans exploding on its own. It was scary as we didn’t see it actually happen. At first I thought our apartment was being shot at. #NotAloneTalk
