LOL Yeah, I think, out of all my guys, that Milo probably has the biggest individual fanbase. 😂

A creepy giant-spider-guy is interested in sucking out a captive human's "juices." 😏

A dude holding onto a dock while a Deep One holds the man's hips so his ass is resting on its' Deep One. I have a hunch that this happens under seaside docks more often than most people think. 🤔

Chibithulu wants a late-night feeding. 😇

Milo can get a little rough with Colby, sometimes. But Colby's pretty resilient, and trusts Milo won't go TOO wild. 🥰

And you saw what happened to my first "Frankenstein's Monster" pic. 🤫
It was a huge relief when I finally stopped fighting with that pose and started over with a new idea. 😊

For the record: I'm NOT saying "don't do it." Just admitting that I know the "I bit off more than I can chew" struggle. 🫂

I mean, I have a very difficult time trying to do other people's styles, so that's just a non-starter for me.
Filling a page with a TON of characters, however? I have to fight that urge off at least once a week. Mostly because it would take me a whole week just to sketch it. And another to Ink it.🤦‍♂️

It's okay. I contemplate enough of those for the both of us. 🤣

I didn't get to spend NEARLY as much time at the beach as I wanted to this summer. 😢
A blond lifeguard getting sucked off by a naked muscly redhead. You can tell he's a lifeguard by the red speedos with a white cross on the front that are slid down onto his upper thighs.

Artists, how do you draw hair?

Mostly short and chunky, I guess?
Sometimes it curls a bit. Sometimes it's straighter. Sometimes it's even spiky. But it's almost always done in clumps. 🤷‍♂️

#Orctober is A Thing™, I guess?

Anyway, yeah, I was struggling with another image I'm working on, so I needed to take a break from it and do something silly.
I needed a Brain Reset. The point for me wasn't to make something "good." It was to just make something. 🤷‍♂️

Just... forget all the anatomy issues. There's a beefy orc who's ogling a dude's juicy booty. Just focus on that bit. 🤫

If I hadn't grown up with people around me doing it every time I started I probably wouldn't either. But it's been a sort of "game" that's happened my whole life.

Ric R. @artistric.bsky.social · 1d

Well, this is doing way better numbers than I expected it would. 😳

Ric R. @artistric.bsky.social · 1d

That's the ultimate goal. 😂

According to my mother, when she was young, she was getting ready for school one morning and counted my grandmother hitting 27, which currently stands as the "official" Family Record.

Thanks! Still constantly learning new stuff and refining my style, but it's getting there. 😁

LOL, I know!!
...I was in the presence of my grandmother when she once hit 22 in a row.

*Grandma and I (and one of my aunts) are known to sneeze in long series, so when we start going off it becomes a game for everybody present to count along. Anything less than 6 is considered a disappointment.)

...I just sneezed 11 times in a row. This does not break my personal record of 16, but the inside of my elbow was NOT pretty. 🤧
