Been a little quiet lately, but icymi i did post a new soul/funk mix to mixcloud.

Justice and vengeance for Vincent Chin. It could've been my dad in 1982, it could be me today.

Dance while you can, love while you can.

And a tiny little Judge Death from Dredd/2000A.D.

Weirdly never got into any of the Judge Dredd stuff, he's i guess like a Bizarro Dredd, the world he's from considers life a crime, and the punishment is death. That's pretty cool i guess

That dependable ol fishman, Ape Sapien of the BPRD to keep the Pouchtober list alive

Sketchbook's getting crowded, I'm gonna have to grab another one from storage soon. Because almost everything i have is still in storage because I'm never going to find another place of my own again

You know him, you love him, he's deceptively tough to draw, you always let him win, it's Chewbacca

Tho i never could figure out if his bandolier thing was actually cargo pouches, or grenades, or clips for his bowcaster. I guess if he's on the list, they must be pouches

I feel bad whenever i come across a character i don't know, the unfortunately named Təsla Strong is the daughter of Tom Strong created by Alan Moore

The Strongs are sort of Fantastic Four meets Flash Gordon/Doc Savage, kinda throwbacks to golden/silver age space/time adventurers

If Criterion doesn't make a shirt with John David Washington shouting out Jackie Chan, i will

And we're pulling back onto the Pouchtober turnpike with Guts from Berserk, a character and anime i know nothing about other than armor on a big guy is real hard to draw so i made him crouching so i didn't have to draw most of it. The system works!

Taking a quick detour for @felipeflorescomics.bsky.social insane Simpsons chronological timeline comic project, an heroic task to say the least, since Homer & Marge were teens in the 1970s

Here's Homer's head exploding after learning Marge is pregnant with Maggie. We're doomed, doomed i tells ya!

You know him, you fear him, the chonkiest boi, Absolute Batman

This basically took a whole pen to shade in, please clap

Did you know Atari put out a comic thru DC in the early 80s? Atari Force was a Star Trek-ish multinational force put together to defend the earth against whatever alien threats. This character, Dart, was basically a Tasha Yar security officer, as far as i can tell

Another cringey 80s gun guy, TV's Peacemaker's own Vigilante. He always reminded me of a ninja on a ski vacation, with his stripey V neck sweater and mask/goggles combo

I'm kinda sick of drawing gun dudes, feels like this could all be used as evidence to prove how I'm a dangerous foreigner
January 3, 2026 at 11:03 PM
A lot of uncomfortably militarized characters in this pouchtober list. Union Jack is basically the british Captain America, but not Captain Britain because that's a different guy. And not quite Captain Carter because that's Peggy Carter. This guy seems to fight vampires a lot tho, so that's cool
January 3, 2026 at 1:39 AM
And right under Mando is Hobgoblin, the guy who's not Green Goblin, definitely an unrelated goblin guy on a glider who throws pumpkin bombs, and also hates Spider Man
January 3, 2026 at 12:44 AM
The Mandalorian (and Grogu), very cool character, very aggravating to draw. Lots of little pads and armor segments and buckles and straps, but i guess that's what Pouchtober's all about right
January 2, 2026 at 9:15 PM
This stupid pouchtober list forced me to draw Kim Possible, are you serious
January 2, 2026 at 12:09 AM
Kinda didn't wanna do this one but i must obey the list. Wild Dog is basically the DC Comics version of Punisher, just a dude with a lot of guns, but he wears a hockey mask because it was the 80s, and his shirt has a big red laughing cartoon dog instead of a skull, so that's fun?

Happy belated Pouchtober

First up: Spiral, right hand(s) to X-Men villain Mojo. The more hands you got, the more cargo pouches you need. Let's get 90s as fuck this month.

Don't think i properly showcased all four FF powers on this Super Skrull, but half-assing everything is how i ended up here. And with that ends the Kirby list.

Do i have another belated drawlloween list on deck? Ofc

One could even say i have the next list....in the pocket

So many silly gestures for a big dumb tree man, the OG Groot, who actually talked and was just another giant alien monster who wanted to take over the world til he was repurposed for the Guardians. Not super great poses all around, but hey this is free art content from ol head abbot
December 31, 2025 at 4:30 AM
Another guy i definitely know how to draw, Dr. Hank McCoy, the Beast. Had to go old school Kirby style with him since this is a Kirby list, even though i know everybody loves a big blue furry Beast
December 29, 2025 at 1:42 AM
The Murderous Misfit, another one and done Kirby villain, seems like a low budget Modok, an evil genius stuck in a little lumpy potato-head torso body. His robot servant Servitek carries him around and I'm sure does the whole Lion King Simba thing sometimes
December 29, 2025 at 12:30 AM
I get to draw two Demons, hell yeah. This time he's fighting the Phantom of the Sewers, basically a superpowered version of his opera-loving cousin. Phantom only showed up once in The Demon issue 8 in 1973, but somehow also made a cameo in the Justice League cartoon. What a guy
December 28, 2025 at 3:02 AM
Did Jack Kirby create the GI Joe Cobra by creating Kobra in 1976? This Kobra with a K is pretty similar to Ra's Al-Ghul, a t*rr*rist mastermind with a criminal organization with hired goons, the whole nine. He even revives himself with the Lazarus Pit. Actually he's basically Ra's Al-Ghul. Wtf
December 28, 2025 at 12:45 AM
Really screwed up the perspective on Hulk's right arm, and also i guess he's wearing a skirt? Or busted thru his pants so to speak while hulking out. I dunno. Dumb angry Kirby monster Hulk > shrek-ass smart Hulk
December 27, 2025 at 1:46 AM
A good ¼ of the guys Kirby created were all just reskinned He-Mans, just a buncha musclebound dudes with blonde bowl cuts. Thundarr, Capt Victory, probably dozens of others, and Ikaris from the Eternals. The immortal space He-Man
December 27, 2025 at 1:26 AM
Going with the older Parademons that just looked like henchman dudes rather than the 80s red demon looking ones, or the more hunchback monstrous ones from the Justice League cartoon. I wonder if parademons, or orcs, or stormtroopers got decent health care and food for their service. Probably not
