Despite being new to comic books, I put up a shelf behind my desktop to display my favorites.

Not like, expensive ones, but just ones I think were neat.

So basically every time Rocket has more than 3 lines of dialogue, it's an automatic addition to the boyfriend shelf.

"Take Two"

After the drastic effects of the Night Howlers, local scientists have been trying to reformulate them into something a bit more...beneficial to the local populace.

I really had fun with layered animation techniques for this one, plus this is the first time I hired an outside artist for SFX, and @spicygaydog.bsky.social did an outstanding job, I can't recommend them enough!

@rasterraccoon3d.bsky.social 's model is for sale too !

HQ Version at the usual sites!

Be on alert for nude cayotes in your area.
If you see one, be sure to make them very aware of it.

I mean, when you're out there in space, you gotta be comfortable doing what whatever the job needs.

Rookie is just learning that Rocket has a touch less modesty than most.

Guys, if I actually try and play as him, I'm essentially leaving his life in my sweaty paws.

It's supposed to be the other way around.

Turns out that when you install Marvel Rivals and then exit the game after like, 15 minutes, it asks for an Exit Survey to see why you quit so fast.

...I am truly embarrassed to write the real reason.

If you're down for sharing any 3D models of your boys, I'd definitely love to make a piece with 'em!

They have one at the CVS near me and it's just such a nice pick-me-up whenever I walk by it.

Like, "Hey bud. Yeah, just grabbing shampoo. Keep hanging in there."

One great thing about being fixated on Rocket Raccoon is that nearly every furry artist has drawn him at least once.

I can just be enjoying a fellow artist's gallery and suddenly see my husband's beautiful face.

It's like the universe is giving me a little treat.

That mishap never happened.

And definitely didn't make the front page of the intergalactic news.

Nope, no one saw that.

They're honestly really well-produced-

I highly recommend Core-A Gaming's series of really great mini documentaries on fighting game mechanics!

They're designed for completely new players to become familiar with the whole scene, and get an understanding of what's going on in-game.

Rocket's sweaty body makes up of around 60% of my thought process at any given moment.
