Sneasler is a super uninspired name… Also, it really bothers me when bipedal Pokemon end up with no thumbs in official art. Please give them thumbs.
Sketchblog
A catch-all dumping ground for art, sketches, and miscellany.
Man, the 3D models look so boring. Hisuian Sneasel could be cooler.
Timelapse at 15x speed here. Happy New Year!
Review for the Sketchmarker Brush Pro coming Monday…
Scribbles for the ArtSkills Permanent Parker review.
Roosters are cool.
Review for the last of the Walgreens cheapo marker finds coming Monday.

Review for the Newpen Ginza Pro brush pens coming Monday.
Rest of the doodles from the Blick Studio Brush review.
Shiny New Years Hoothoot was really cute. ‘v’ Blick Studio Brush markers are all right.
Hat Wurmple is the best hat mon in the game, don’t @ me.
My thrown-together Master League Classic team full of boring meta picks. :V I don’t think I’ve ever drawn Giratina before… it’s kind of annoying lol.
A million years later, finally got around to a full body reference for this dude.
GL electric team
Have been messing around with all-electric UL and ML teams for a while, but it’s been harder to pin down a GL team because there’s more options. This one’s been doing well in the Holiday Cup though!
Avatar prize for a mini contest at ‘Souls. Avatars on the board are 200×200 so I always think it’s weird seeing them big.
Every time I click on a lil white dude in Pokemon Go and it’s Castform instead of Vanillite, I am sad. 😔
Recent pet portraits
Recent pet portrait commissions for a lovely client.
Bunch of doodles and coloring samples from the ArtSkills double-ended Brush-tip Marker review. I usually only test a few singles of a marker, but it’s nice to have a few more colors to play with sometimes. Limited palette is always a nice exercise in experimentation and compromise. Pink is a decent stand-in for a grey as far as darkening other colors go.
nanowrimo 2021 cover
Wanted to doodle a cover for this year’s project since I think this is the closest I’ve ever come to the spirit of the event, despite 17 prior years participating. Didn’t have the energy for color though. I also still don’t really know what any of my characters look like either. I don’t really visualise much when I write…
It’s been so long since I’ve made new characters… that weird inconsistent stage where I’m still trying to figure out what they’re supposed to look like is kinda frustrating. Is this dude’s hair wavy or not? Is it white or blond? How long is it?? Everything is different every time I draw him, but I don’t know which is right.
A bunch of phone/conference call doodles.
Whoops more broody werewolf characters to add to my roster of broody werewolf characters. :V
2 of 2 pantsed NaNo projects have featured too many werewolves.
Treasure Haunt
Biking is fun.
Ghosty sketches.
Sharpie doodle on a scrap.
Date Night
My contribution to Monsters and Dames 2021, ECCC’s annual charity artbook.
My thrown-together Little Jungle Cup team was pretty okay. Leading with Pikachu was hilarious because so many people reflex-swapped to Gible (and Deino?) only to get unceremoniously destroyed. ;D Charm’s animation is so obvious, ya’ll, come on. ;)))
2021 NaNoWriMo Calendar
Happy October!
- Downloadable ZIP with the 2021 NaNoWriMo calendar set featuring daily inspiration and quotes, with 50k, 75k, and 100k word goal versions in three different aspect ratios.
- Calendar archive 2011-2020
- Calendar archive incl. 2008-2010 (single resolution, 50k version only)
Historically, October 1st was NaNoWriMo website and forum reset day. This was back when NaNo wasn’t as active in the off season and the site had some ancient infrastructure that required annual purging of data to save on space and bandwidth. These days, NaNo is pretty much active yearround and its technical infrastructure was overhauled a few years ago, so the site no longer requires annual resets.
As such, October 1st isn’t as relevant anymore, but it’s still the day I aim to have these calendars finished by. Happy NaNo prep and panic month! And cheers to the photographers of the stock used in this year’s calendar: Zhen Hu, Trent Erwin, and Aaron Burden.
Kiku Portrait inks + photos
I didn’t take very many WIP photos for this, but here are some in progress inks and photos of the final. The character was fun, but it’s very obvious I’m here to flower spam, lol.
