I'm 30 or 40 & tired of online pressure to state specific ages while that info is tied to security questions. I may post art, & have a separate ad*lt art SN. DMs are mutual only, but u can reply to any post to chat about whatever.

Also did some Magma doodling for #LookOutside
theme for me was Roaches doing a romance. First a valentine for Audrey, and then Morton facing the pressure of two oposing political trends.
Simple digital drawings of three characters from the video game Look Outside. The first is a line-less drawing of a small roach (of the cooperative mass of sentient roaches, known only as 'Roaches') holding a small pastel heart valentine on the surface of Audrey's face (the surface the animate vending machine monster that Audrey is) as she leans down and away from the roach in slight shock. The second is of a frazzled looking Morton (cricket like anthropomorphic character hidden in a drab cloak), sandwiched between two towers of vaguely rendered roaches in trench coats, hats, and glasses that press the vague areas of the their faces up against the sides of Morton's head.

Close ups of the individual panels of the Phillipe aquirement from the full page spread part 2 of 2.
Phillipe watches Dan and Joel playing Madwheels 97 with a consternated expression, climbing up the back of the couch with regrowing tendrils, and his small wings growing back in with lacey holes in them. And asterisk note adds 'Sam's on the roof right now but this ain't about him'

Close ups of the individual panels of the Phillipe aquirement from the full page spread part 1 of 2. Graphic media warning is for slight amounts of illustrated blood.
Illustration of Sam kneeling near a wilted and decapitated Phillipe cranium. He is wearing the coat of arms, a rubber glove, work boots (my load-out at the time), and a sling backpack, and is missing his right arm. He is scratched up about the face and has a haunted expression. Illustration of Sam with a wilted and decapitated Phillipe cranium tied by its antennae fronds to his coat's belt. He is wearing the coat of arms, a rubber glove, work boots (my load-out at the time), and a sling backpack, and carries a rifle with a bloodied shoulder brace in his left hand. He is scratched up about the face and has a determined expression. Illustration of Sam sitting fold-legged on the floor of his appartment, cradling a decapitated Phillipe cranium. He is wearing a tank top and his regular sweatpants, and has slightly bloodied bandages over the stump of his right arm and over a spot on his left fore-arm. He is letting blood drip from his mouth (with a bloodied xacto blade nearby) into Phillipe's mouth, unseen by phillipe's eyes that are growing back in under a film of thin mold. Mold flakes decorate a throw pillow tucked into a Dutch oven pot next to him on the floor. Behind them is Sam's couch, and hiding behind its backing are Leigh, and Lyle (who she holds in place via his cloak), while he clutches at the back of the couch. The mutated rat child climbs under the couch towards them with a concerned expression, wearing a small but still oversized t-shirt. Two roaches check in on Sam and observe the scene. Sam holds a struggling Phillipe up in the crook of his left arm. The mutated rat child nips at Sam's standard sweater and sweat pants, and wears a denim vest themself, with their tail wagging. Sam also wears a beatific and doting smile, and his house slippers, and has his sweater tied off over his right arm stump. Phillipe wraps one antennae frond around Sam's neck and one around his hand, scrabble with teeth and claw around Sam's arm while wildly glaring down at the rat child. He sheds multiple mold flakes from his mantle and small proto-body.

Some more #LookOutside sketchbook work. One big page recounting how phillipe showed up in my first play thru; I was a little over leveled for the mold maze and felt kinda bad. But also I couldn't level him up in time for last 4th of the game so he just kinda got housecat treatment.
Four vignette ink illustrations of Sam and Phillipe from the video game Look Outside. The illustrations show Phillipe being grown back to a mobile body from just a severed head, and (content warning) being nourished by Sam's blood at one point before his return to consciousness. A greyscale drawing of Sam from the video game Look Outsode, with tight posture, his right arm missing, and a light cleft pallet scar. Loose sketches of Lyle from the video game Look Outside. One has his monstrous cursed form visible, with his arms close to his faces and a posture resembling tip toes (on tripod mechanical legs). The other sketch has his light protection cloak on, wrapped around with only on hand holding it, the other hand held up and a speech bubble of him ordering two caramel lattes and 20 timbits at a tim hortons.

Other ways are these two:
1.) Camera flash. Dosn't match how he uses it in a battle against you, but it does match his attacks when he battles by your side
2.) Square lens hood for the large format camera. Lense hoods are good for cutting out light polution. Important for night sky photos in a city.

In his left hand he holds a chemical flash, which is a powder that will quickly ignite and give off a ton of light and give off a plume of smoke and dust. A picture of a modern small format camera with a square lenses hood and some glass in between it and the lens as protection or a way to cut down on glare. A pixel illustration from the game Look Outside where the player character Sam is reflected in the lenses of a close up camera on Lyle's 'face'. This image shows a round lens inside a black square, matching up with the previously image of a square lens hood on a smaller format camera.

I've been interpreting it multiple ways. Main way (matching with the bellows and his story about taking pictures of the night sky): the back 'ground glass protector' of a large format 'plate' camera. Odd that its facing inward, but it could be how it was turned when absorbed into his body.
Front view of a large format folding camera in use. There is no view finder, only the open back end of the bellows and a frame. You put a large plate with film on it at the back once you have the focus, aperture width, and position just right, and until that moment the film must be protected from light. Back view of a large format folding camera not yet in use. There is no view finder, only the open back end of the bellows, a frame, and a glass cover for the slot the film plate goes in. You put a large plate with film on it at the back once you have the focus, aperture width, and position just right, and until that moment the film must be protected from light. Ground glass protectors, the glass square, have specific functions in this process that you should look up in your native language.

This camera shows the potential scale of the captured image, where the film square at the back can be multiplied larger the same way a small square of strip-film in a standard camera can.

internet subculture tourism taught me about 'mommy brain'/'baby brain' brain-fog phenomena. You think getting your arm bit off could do somethin similar? #LookOutside
Digital grey-scale illustration of Look Outside video-game characters sat around a dinner table. Sam, player-character of the game, is leaned forward over the table near the far corner, and says: "Tobi finish your rice before you go bothering Joel! Joel, drink your juice with your rice or your teeth will get all gummed up! Hellen, can you help me with Tobi? I have to help Joel not crush the straw.' Joel, a boy whose face has morphed into a pit of teeth, is opposite Sam and sat at the table, brandishing a fork in defense of this plate and saying 'Sit back-' with a speech bubble indicating interruption. Sam is paying attention to Tobi, a large mutated rat in a puffer jacket who is lunging across the table at Joel's plate. Sam is attempting (and failing) to stop Tobi with his recently amputated arm stump wrapped in bandages. Just outside his peripheral vision to his right/viewer's left is Hellen, a very tall and broad woman in dark & stained tyvek coveralls, a sweater, and a scuffed hockey mask, with mutations of eyes and teeth under her mask. She clenches her hands on the edge of the table, cracking it, and leaning back as Sam shoves a juice box straw into a hole in her mask and an icon indicating alarm shows behind her head. A dark form in the foreground reacts to the juice faux pas with a cringing sound, the width of the dark hood implying it to be Lyle.

Now I at least know what my next playthrough is going to focus on: Who knew Sam before the visitor's arrival, and how many of them have entrances to the meat world in their rooms. People have been good about lore spoilers so far so I'll have to play through again to find out these granular details.

A screencap of Twin Peaks The Return, where events of good versus evil have wrapped up in the sherrifs office in a bizarre but tidy way, while Dale Cooper's face is overlaid transparently on the scene as he shifts through time and reality, where he will soon meet Laura Palmer on that fateful night on the way to her death (or maybe disappearance). It is a key moment in the finale/finale arc that plays with the previously introduced concept of who is the dreamer and who is the dream (from a quote from a dream Gordon Cole had earlier in Twin Peaks The Return) A promotional image of Dale Cooper interacting with Laura Palmer in the Red Room from the television show Twin Peaks A painted illustration of the Greek myth of Athena being born from an axe wound in Zeus's head, by Mihail Brunea

Feels like the prompt (on meta sites where ive seen it) procs when I type 3+ sentences. Like they want shorter posts for easier machine scraping. Smaller bites for the machine, and predigested by ai like empty junk food. What will finally kill this malnourished shambling beast?

Extra also from sketchbook time today: Baker and Goody put together a birthday surprise for Saul
An inked sketchbook drawing of (great god grove characters) Baker & Goody leading Saul to a table with a cake covered in lit candles. Saul is blindfolded, asks 'Do I smell smoke?' and pictures in a thought bubble this smaller scene: Saul tied to a stake on top of a pile of sticks, Baker and Goody holding torches nearby, and Cobigail looming over the scene with a smile.

NOT being normal about them I guess
A tiny sketch of a shocked Hector cradling a wide-eyed Capochin. There is a rough suggestion of blood on their torsos and on the ground between them. Handwriting to the side says: Ivan and his son Ivan, from memory, with the fascist apes.

And a few non-ggg space fillers in the ol' sketchbook. I had bought a pentel graph gear 300 in .9, loved it but didn't realize how much until I dropped it in savannah, and ordered a new one and it came in today so I just had to break it in :)

And other ggg lil sketchbook fill-ins. They've been great for touching up empty areas on live drawing pages, where I try to draw big but also nowhere near the page edge or spine-gutter.

Sketch of a model study of capochin. 2.5 head tall 50yo Sketch of capochin laid down, smoking a fat cigar, and crying a lil. Sketch of Capochin in a more detailed or anthropomorphic fandom style. The monkey he's slightly styled towards is the black-shanked Douc (langur). Don't look them up casually they have funny colored junk and half the Google results focus on that.

A commission from a while back for @certomistle.bsky.social of his flying fox+tailed bat hybrid Solare, and his pine marten friend taking a flight!
A lanky flying anthropomorphic man flies with his wing-arms and holds a 'cartoon animal'/quadrupedal pine marten character with his clawed feet. The pine marten has leucistic head and some neck fluff, and looks scared with his tail puffed up. The anthro bat wears bright read shorts with a blue belt. Behind them is a lush mountainous forest. Lighting from the mid right offscreen implies a sunrise out of frame.

Stayed out too late at a rad halloween party; Here's the last pokemon inking challenge piece. The Muk and Ditto familly, in all-alcohol-ink-marker color :) I was worried it would need colored pencils because of limitations of purple in my markers, but the grey tone options worked well.
an ink (with alcohol ink marker color) illustration of 5 pokemon: One Muk, One ditto in Muk form, one small ditto, and two grimers. They are posed like a family portrait, inside a border colored like a wooden frame, and with a background of a large drainage pipe leading out to a polluted stretch of beach and a low, wide sunset.
