A drawing page of Mario stimming happily to music he is listening to on his headphones. Various half-body drawings depict him as he rocks his shoulders, pumps his arms in fists and wiggles his fingers to the beat, as if playing an instrument. One drawing depicts the full character dancing, arms raising and twisting his body side to side. A small chibi fullbody depicts the characters design as he appears in this universe, wearing a red varsity jacket, headphones, beat up jeans and sneakers, and a fake raccoon tail keychain. His dark grey t shirt has the New York Mets logo on it. Next to the ref reads '5 feet' in accordance to the characters height, and his name: 'Mario Mariotti'. In block lettering reads his alias: 'Firebrand'. The drawing is signed with a stylized 'ED' and dated '10' 25' (October 2025)

Mario stimming... drew specifically my X-Men AU Mario but it applies to Mario in general. I wish I could freely stim like he does. So I drew it. I like to think he loves music, upbeat stuff in particular.

Someone dropped the name idea of 'Octoadber' for a possible #xmentoad #drawtober, and so then, no matter the fact that it was already October 1st, I decided I had to make it real.

Rules and expanded prompt list can be found on the 'blr. Tag your art with #octoadber2025 and have fun!

Velociraptor skull studies at the California Academy of Sciences, June 18, 2025.

Velociraptor foot and miniature skeleton studies, plus bonus Tyrannosaurus skull model, at the California Academy of Sciences, June 18, 2025.

A bit of sketching from casts at @calacademy.bsky.social to round out the theropod chapter of my dinosaur study. Norell's comparisons of the Velociraptor to a fox or coyote are weirdly endearing.

His tail and lower arms are a bluish grey with malted grey patterns and a pale grey-green underside.

A fullbody drawing depicting the side view of a male utahraptor character. The general proportions are more or less accurate to the current knowledge we have of the real animal with some stylistic changes. The creature has a mostly naked head and neck like a vulture, with a peach toned skin on the head, hands and feet, and grey claws. The tip of the muzzle is a darker red, with the base of the neck having a purplish grey tone. It has dark brown feathers with small light brown accents on the wings/arm feathers, and darker tipped tail and back with a very slight purple/blue hue. The creatures teeth stick out from its jaw, and it has yellow eyes and whiskers on its muzzle. On the creatures head their are small, snood-like structures around the nostril, eyes, ears and throat. Overall the feathering of the animal is somewhat scruffy, with thin tail plumage, and patches of feathers on the neck. The background is a flat grey, and under the tail sits the color palette of the design along with the name of the character and species: 'Turkey - Utahraptor.' In the left bottom corner reads: 'Art and design by vurd'. The drawing is signed with a stylized 'ED' and dated 6' 25 (June 2025)

Sona of some kind. Inspired off of the turkey vulture.

An edit of the "Don't Make Me Tap The Sign" meme from The Simpsons saying "Corporations do not care about you and you should support independent queer artists and creators and give them your money instead of these companies who will end up fucking them over because they don't care about the LGBTQ+ community"

Pride Month starts tomorrow.

I'm going to post this once again.

A fullbody drawing of Mario, woken up recently. His hair is a mess, his face a slight grumpy frown in exhaustion. He wears white boxers with pink hearts and a pale blue button up that hangs open, with nothing else. He holds a rolled up newspaper under one arm and a toothbrush in his other. The style is very sketchy, using a rough, realistic pencil brush and a soft watercolor to color the drawing.

Monty is a bright green, slender young man with black markings like that of a poison dart frog, a yellow underside, and bright pink and purple arms and tail. He has black spikey hair with purple stripes with bangs covering his right eye and a pony tail. He wears several metal piercings on his body and spike bracelets along with a matching choker necklace. His tail is long and a bit like an eels, with a large tail and spines coming off the ends and at his hips. His tail is purple and has green at the end, and the hip spines are yellow with green at the end. The background is dark blue, suggesting an underwater scene. The character has a hand-drawn border around him that is a bright rainbow. The drawing is signed with a stylized 'ED' and incorrectly dated '4' 25' (April 2025). It should be dated '5' 25' (May 2025).

A merman Monty for Mermay. He'd probably be a siren, but a lazy one who hangs out on a rock in the sun all day. #mermay #mermay2025 #merman #mermaid #merfolk #oc #originalcharacter #brightcolors #eyestrain #scene #scenecore #siren

A waist-up drawing of Luigi and Mario facing the viewer. They smile with an open mouth and closed eyes. Luigi is doing half a hand-heart, meant to be completed by Mario, but Mario is oblivious and is giving a thumbs up instead.

Mario's hair is drawn shorter and fluffier then Luigi's. The drawing is done with a weighted pixel line brush, and outlined with a fuzzy glowing white. A pixel-like pattern of blue, green and teal is repeated in the background. The drawing is signed with a stylized 'ED'.

A digital illustration of the character Doctor Octopus as he appears in 2023's run The Amazing Spider-Man and Superior Spider-Man. The character is rendered with black line art and dark shadows like that of a classic comic book, and colored and textured to look like an old scan with stains and wear. He is removing his goggles and a brown trench coat off his shoulders with the help of his arms, revealing his brown eyes to the viewer as he grins.

A shaded lined drawing featuring the head of a original alien creature. The creature looks akin to a velociraptor from jurassic park, with off-black skin and a large smooth plate covering where the eyes would normally be. 7 hooked spines go down the side of the head. the creatures mouth it open and in a partly 3/4 view. the mouth as well as the teeth, lower jaw and underside of neck are a blue and purple gradient of shiny, plasma like material. the mouth contains large, curved fangs facing towards the inside of the mouth, and a large, pointed tongue. the space between the plasma and the skin is a wobbly line, and the creature is covered in various scars and nicks, with some freckles. the head is coming out of a red comic panel like frame.

So I heard it was #PortfolioDay 🎨🖋

Names Ed, I do mainly character illustrations and creatures, but I have a rather wide range in terms of styles and what I like to draw. Always open to collaborations, projects and commission opportunities.

Sucks so much. The games are looking fantastic I feel like we are truly back and yet the prices and greed are at the worst they've ever been.
