Yeah, but unlike Neelix, Sanji didn't date someone with an age in single digit. 😆

Noble sentiment, but it's hard to embrace change when one already believes themselves to be an infallible genius. I own Scott's "The joy of work" written long before he went off the deep end - even back then he saw himself as an oracle of world-altering wisdom and his critics as belligerent cretins.

My only interaction with him was when he blocked me for criticizing his retweeting of Stonetoss comics. 😆 At least the one you had was back in the happier times.

Could be worse - she could also hex everyone else into hypochondria with her newly established witchcraft practice. 😋

Oh, that's superb! 😆 Pity about the fate of his world, though.
Oh well, some things just can't be helped!

Serial designation J, a character from Murder Drones, is doing a Frowning Friends routine by giving a vitriolic speech while serial designation V is watching from the sidelines.

Second practice piece for me to learn creating fully coloured Murder Drones artwork. Hopefully this will be enough to stop worrying about irreversible mistakes and workflow mishaps.

You mean the guy who denied Cambodian genocide even in the face of testimonies from survivors isn't just factually wrong on stuff he spews, but is also a vile person? Shocker.

Could have been way worse - he is on the files, after all.

On the bright side, they got to hear the most iconic greeting ever. This HAS to count for something!

Knife cat meme, except with Serial Designation V and Sentinel Sparky. Done in watercolor as a practice artwork.

Larger artworks leave less room for mistakes, so here is a small (A3) practice piece to get a better grasp of MD's unique lighting and textures.

Reuploading a properly edited (and more honest to original physical artwork) version. Previous one seemed fine to me upon initial upload... but I was already half-asleep at that point.

Now that's some clever and elegant approach to keeping her design both simple and recognizable - like that stinger still having a container of sorts!

Murder Drones fanart drawn with traditional mediums. Accompanied by a disassembly drone V, worker drone Lizzy is pushing a stair-climbing cart to which remains of her departed friend Doll are secured.

Sometimes your best bet is to just cut out that bad influence from your everyday interactions and hope it didn't take hold of your impressionable mind.

Vernissage, I suppose? I had to look it up in a dictionary as I only knew how it's written in Polish. ☺️

A Murder Drones / The Amazing Digital Circus fanart, depicting disassembly drones V and J sitting on a pile of butchered worker drones while disassembly drone N is trying to work at a fast food restaurant while wearing a paper mask of Jax. New employee toils under the watchful eye of manager Gangle who grows increasingly suspicious over her co-worker's sudden helpfulness and enthusiasm.

A squad of disassembly drones trying their best to meet their quota, but their pilot seems to have wandered off somewhere. Again.

I still have much to learn here - difficulty spike was quite noticeable in contrast to most of my fanart stuff from the past two years. 🙂

A set of study drawings created to practice characters from Murder Drones web series.

First time dipping my toes in MD territory - which of course calls for a study drawing to get a hang of characters, as well as to get some mistakes out of my system. I have no idea where this rabbit hole leads to, but I'm eager to find out!

This better be an exceptionally well-drawn Big Ben, rather than a photo of it! 😁

Good work!
That D&D trio feels like such a fever dream. Out of the blue Dex had three pals for tabletop RPGs, only for the blonde guy to stop existing by the time boy genius tried to attend a Star Trek convention with the remaining two in tow, for whom it would prove to be their last appearance.

The Amazing Digital Circus fanart. Gangle is hard at work painting a lewd figurine of Jax in a maid outfit, all while the real Jax is standing right behind her, malding and seething.

Gangle at her not-so-secret figurine workstation. Turns out that making #TADC fanart is more challenging than drawing paper bears - who would have guessed?

Teri, the paper bear from "The Amazing World of Gumball" cartoon, imagines herself as a bunch of characters from "The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim" video game.

TES: VI won't be out for a while, so that wraps up my streak of Teri-fying post-Daggerfall TES games.

Sneaky! 😀

That makes a lot of sense - OG Peridot is already as close to an Irken as one can get without just taking direct cues from Invader Zim cartoon - down to being heavily dependent on technology just to function on an adequate level.

Fitting that this took place on deviantART, given how the owners of that site embraced AI and allowed it to run amok.

I've seen a couple of skilled artists who opted to train AI on their own work in order to churn out stuff faster - except all of it ended looking very generic and samey.

That's some good stuff - his original cartoony self has this uncanny vibe of someone trying to draw regular people after years of drawing nothing but cartoony porn.

So good to see you here, as well! 😀

Paper bear Teri from "The Amazing World of Gumball" cartoon show imagines herself as a lineup of characters from The Elder Scrolls: Oblivion video game.

I had so much fun with the previous, Morrowind-themed piece that I had to draw another while moving to the next video game.

Woah! Now that's a clever take on those two.

Traditional artwork of a paper bear Teri from "The Amazing World of Gumball" cartoon is sitting at her school desk, imagining herself as various characters from The Elder Scrolls: Morrowind - either wearing precious clothing, or an ornate elven armour, or a garb of nefarious cultist.

Self-absorbed student has found an alternative use for school time - like daydreaming about video games.

AND firing thousands of IRS workers while everyone else scrambles to file their taxes! 😆

Oh good lord - I would have never expected to see a homage this brilliant for such a show. ☺️ You did a terrific job.
