Another piece of artwork from The Legend of Zelda 4koma manga by Hiroyuki Makino featured in the 1st volume published by Enix in Japan. Removed logo, taking some liberties, applying some clean/retouch without upscaling. Thanks to @historyofhyrule.com for sharing these scans!

i still like the rendering on this piece very much! it's old but i thought of it today as i work on another piece of art that is unrelated and also significantly dumber in nature.

After the War - old fe3h fanart piece from 2020. it depicts post-war Annette and Dedue from Fire Emblem Three Houses in wedding clothes from their respective nations

Gouache painting in lush dark green and blue featuring a cross-section of a pond at night. A green harlequin-patterned frog with a hint of tadpole tail climbs half out of the water into the cattails, looking at the stars. In the darkness lurks a taloned heron foot. The water is full of tadpoles, pond weed, insect larvae, and frog eggs. A single bright mayfly hangs on a cattail leaf above the frog's head.

yeah i love bats very much but i don't think i've ever drawn them for my portfolio 😅 i'm sure lots of us have pretty long mental lists titled "critters i love but haven't drawn yet"

Happy #KidLitArtPostcard day. This illustration is from 'Maeve and The Meadow Mysteries' a story about a magical meadow, growing up and finding yourself, that I am currently developing.

i'll get there eventually!

i started drinking coffee in 2024. yesterday i thought "i'll wean myself off and go back to tea." then i got 5 hours of sleep last night (not consecutively) and it's back to coffee this morning.

ME: yeah could i get the impossible burger with cheese.
THE VIZIER WHO'S BEEN ADVISING ME: ahh, an excellent choice sire. an imitation of the genuine article. there are some "friends" of yours to whom it bears a passing similarity
ME: you want anything
VIZIER: [chuckles] what i want is of no import

this is always how i picture having security guards/retainers turning out:

if you've got recs for romances that don't fit the mold, i'm happy to hear them!

i'm reading "dungeon crawler carl," which my brain keeps editing to "combat carl." it's fun so far, but i had to trick my brain into thinking it was a manga or a tv comedy to enjoy it. normally i don't read books written in this tone lol

we did stop by a house with full size bars! crazy stuff.

my street is too dangerous for trick-or-treating (no street lights or sidewalk) so we drove downtown to a more pedestrian-friendly part of the neighborhood (but still the same town)

sad halloween is over but happy i can chuck these in the woods now. the kids have wanted the pumpkins to stay on the porch despite how rapidly they turned into disgusting rotten messes omg. next year i won't carve so early before 'ween

took my kids door-to-door trick-or-treating for the first time--for them *and* for me. i'd never done it before growing up (hyper-religious parents) and i found the experience very charming! the neighborhood was so welcoming to my young kids, and they had a blast
