Quick, loose sketch of someone with a shopping bag and a parka walking past a wrought iron fence. Their shadow has bunny ears. There’s a massive white bunny on the other side of the fence. And a bunny by their foot. And some bunny-birds in front of them examining carrots. And a bunny-bird on the fence. And another in a tree.

#hässlichtober / #uglytober

Impossible Rabbit.

A attempt at more finished version lost a lot of the charm of the bunny-birds. And then the next attempt. And again. And then I decided to just listen to the bunny-birds Who clearly wanted to be just like this.

Drawing of a garbage can with two raccoons. The one climbing out has a cleopatra headdress, and is holding an opened bag of Doritos in her mouth.

#hässlichtober / #uglytober

Cleopa-trash-panda.

I spent an embarrassing long time on Cleopat-rash, which… no, just no.

I watched one episode of Mad Men, and decided that I don’t want those people in my life, even if they are fictional.

Digital collage of bits of sketches of The Last Supper going horribly awry and descending into violence. The Last Supper Food Fight. Mary Magdalene is not amused. There are presumably 10 other Apostles out of frame, pelting each other with food.

#hässlichtober / #uglytober

The Speedy Grail. It’s moving fast because Jesus is throwing it at someone as The Last Supper Food Fight is getting out of hand.

I know nothing about Christianity. Let he without sin throw the first metal cup? Should Mary Magdalene be there?

#fauxinktober #digitalart

liebenswert!

(If Google Translate translated correctly, otherwise “adorable”)

Digital sketches based on the prompt “Unicorn, but backwards.” Porcupine Horse, a spiked monstrosity with one leg, sketches of other possibilities in the background, including a really nice stick figure unicorn with a horn tail and a tail on his forehead.

#hässlichtober / #uglytober

Unicorn, but backwards. So… all the horns. A porcupine horse? A one legged monstrosity disgusted by his own existence? Both.

#fauxinktober, since it’s merely #digitalart, with none of the finality of ink.

A loosely drawn dinosaur (t-rex or raptor, but not so anatomically accurate that we need to care), with an elephant disguise — a mask with ears, eyeholes, tusks and trunk, and canes with fake elephant feet. Dinosaur is pink, and the elephant is teal) There is a fake paper texture, and some dot type “newspaper” shading.

#hässlichtober / #uglytober

The false elephant.

A digital drawing of a stylized bicycle (teal, pink seat). Climbing out of the wheels, possibly from another dimension, is some tentacle monster with at least one eye stalk and a mouth on the end of a tentacle. Monster is pink, with a teal eye.

#hässlichtober / #uglytober

Bicycle, but wrong. Not sure how many of these I will do, as the prompt list is in German, and Google Translate does exciting things.

I was, in fact, not ready for this. I don’t know that I ever will be.

Our friend, T. Occelus. She was promised pie.

I hope I pass bunny muster

An eyeball monster (multiple irises, one eyeball, on a base with tentacles) putting a tentacle around her favorite stuffed sheep. The sheep is missing an eye.

Iris the eyeball monster (T. Ocellus) from Alien: Earth, with a stuffed sheep. I am obsessed with our new little Disney Princess.

Chinchilla!

He’s adorable!

A digital drawing of a piece of salmon nigiri, with the darker, redder tones and leaner flesh of sockeye. The background it a grayish green color, and the there is text above that says “Sunday Fish Sketch 2020.07.06 / Sockeye Salmon” in white, small caps, with a very square font.

#sundayfishsketch I may have done sockeye salmon last week too.

A green hummingbird with white underparts perches on a branch, extending its long, thin tongue out past its bill. The background is a smooth gradient of green.

#sundayfishsketch Sockeye salmon.

A Tully Monster nose? I didn’t know other creatures had those!

I guess I have a few hours of web browsing to do to learn more.

And they hold flowers like a hyrax?

He’s a very nice Minotaur. I feel like he is listening to my complaints compassionately before gently asking “have you considered just goring them?”

There’s a lot of good art under #kleinekunstklasse.

Google claims it means small art class, but I don’t know how accurate that is. Or whether I am following a whole lot of really talented 3rd graders. Or if the art is small rather than the artists. Or if the initials are meaningful (hope not!)

A sketch of an anglerfish. He is gray, on a blue background, and has green bioluminescence.

#sundayfishsketch A very sketchy anglerfish for Sunday fish sketch

A digital drawing of a xplayground foot-powered merry-go-round thing, with crows resting on it. There are a couple of puddles of something unsavory. Trees in the background, one with a tire swing.

#juneerie “playground”

A Drawing of a slender cat with absurdly long legs and neck, standing in front of a wrought iron fence and some shrubs.

#juneerie “cat”. Might have hit more emaciated than eerie.

I love him. I hope he gets some worms.

Very flat drawings of sea creatures, with monoline linework, and a rust/yellow/green color palette on a blue background. There’s a squid, a ray, a starfish, a nautaloid, a seahorse, a lobster, an eel, a frog fish, a shrimp, maybe two Ribbonfish, and one more generic fish. They aren’t interacting or anything like that, there’s just a bunch of little drawings of varying shapes and colors. I’m not sure this text helps anyone. Sorry about that.

#sundayfishsketch — it’s not off theme, I was personally bioluminescing while I was sketching.

That is not overboard at all, beautiful.

We need a mechanism for a leave of absence, so he would not have to resign immediately, and someone else can cover while he gets the help he needs. Return when/if he can do the job.

(I would like him to just resign, mind you, but the lack of a medical leave policy is insane)
