I have chronically underused BlueSky since joining. I'll be endeavouring to post here more often going forward.

So, who loves a good ghost story??? ๐Ÿ‘ป

I must remember where I left my rooster hat. Think it's time to give it a spin around town.

Yes, that's very true. Practice makes perfect, after all.

Incredible how life-like you make these! I could never get the hang of doing such realistic portraits ๐Ÿ‘

Sounds like it's been pretty full on. Great that you're getting a chance to draw some more now. I'm ok, thanks. Work is just busy busy busy all the time, so I'm trying to squeeze in time for art whenever I can. I also finished the first draft of my book, woohoo!

Translation, we want to start invading and conquering. We want an empire. NATO won't let us.

They basically want to drag the country back 200 years. I'd say it's embarrassing, but they're completely brazen and shameless.

That's amazing! I can't post any of my own, since I don't do portraits, but I know a kick ass piece of art when I see it ๐Ÿ‘

Haha, weird kids are always the best kids though! How do you feel about Return of the Living Dead? Some of those effects were very good for the era. The bit when they tie down and interrogate half a zombie? That was freaky! (Also, fun facts my tattoo artist has Tarman on his forearm).

That's fair enough, they're not to everybody's taste ๐Ÿ˜… I mostly enjoy riffing them (I have watched a LOT of MST3K, haha!).

Ooh, Evil Dead is an amazing choice TBF!

Oh yes! Thank the gods we don't own a blow torch or a BB gun ๐Ÿ˜…

All that being said, my wife and I love cheesy B Movie horrors. The cheesier the better. Eegah, Robot Monster, Giant Spider Invasion etc, they're so much fun. Have you ever watched any of them?

Been there! It feels like a personal betrayal, like "How could you do this to me, *title*, after all the hours of love and attention I gave you?!"
