Nick Hendriks

I was pretty happy with my work today but to be honest I think this is the best piece of art to come out of the clinic so far. I cannot help but think it will lead to great things...

I am especially proud of this full color job given to me by one of the characters in #over/under
#mothership #mothershipmonth25

An ink and pencil crayon drawing on a white background. It's a buff arm holding an apple. The arm has a chocolate chip cookie with a bite mark out of it on the bicep. Wrapped around the arm is a big worm who is poking through the apple and winking at the viewer.

An ink and pencil crayon drawing on a white background. It's a military emblem featuring a red chrome skull with robot eyes and vampire teeth screaming, plus a crossed assault rifle and knife. Across the bottom of the emblem are banners reading "ANDROID CORPS" and a little metal plaque reading "307"

Another couple tattoo designs for that silly outer space game on Discord.

This is the kind of thing the internet should be made for

An ink drawing of a crossed hammer and wrench with a banner that reads "LOCAL 32819L"

A pencil sketch of a baby goat

A pencil sketch of a logo featuring a metal skull, a rifle, a knife, and a banner reading "ANDROID CORPS 307"

I'm playing in that big Mothership game over on Discord and I've signed up with a tattoo parlour / cyberware clinic. It has been fun to take jobs and make real art in exchange for creds.
If I can't make a living as an artist irl, maybe I can in pretend outer space!

I can see keeping this stuff in the house. It's so amazingly fragrant when fresh. It has a bright citrusy note I never knew about. Like, if an orange, a lemon, and a carrot had a baby. I'm astounded.

We got fresh turmeric root in our weekly produce box (shout out to @oddbunchcanada.bsky.social). I've never used fresh stuff before so I tried grating some into a stir fry with some orange. Holy SHIT. With a little soya sauce, rice vinegar, and peanut butter it became a delicious pad thai type dish.

I thought you meant the season!

They're such lovely chunky critters. Menaces, but really pretty.

Tomorrow night: D&D for kids at the local library resumes! God help me, I'm tired already. But the kids are all pretty jazzed, so I will persevere.

What I love about all these celebs who are trying to save their reputation by playing ignorant is that this only works the quieter that lunatic JK is. You know, the person who just started dropping Hitler quotes to millions of people around the time their tired ass audiobook cast got announced.

Encounter Tables: Roads, Camps, and Wilderness | Nick Hendriks I've been running this West Marches game for a while now. . One of the key elements of a game of this sort is a random encounter system. The one I'm us...

I slightly modified my encounter tables for roads vs wilderness

He looks just like I do at 2am having had coffee too late in the day and knowing I need to be up in 5 hours.

So this is a big swing for us for Mothership Month. Sam has designed a bespoke REAL-TIME play-by-post wargame for Mothership Month. We have room for hundreds if not thousands of players fighting in a giant faction cold war on the Dream. Read the post for details. Sign-ups on October 13.

edited comic panel. Batman is breaking a lump-with-handle cow tool over his knee and saying "this is the tool of the cow. we do not understand it. we will not use it."

it's not FOR us

Wow, the lighting is so good!! Really rich and vibrant and moody.

I nearly had a stroke in college when I volunteered to take a mid-sized insect outside. I picked it up and said "oh, a true bug." The prof scoffed and said "there's no such thing. 'Bug' is a colloquialism. It's an insect."

Trying out Too Good To Go for the first time. Seems like a good thing. Is there a catch I don't know? Is it evil and corporate somehow like so many things? Or is it just a good way to reduce food waste? I'm hoping it's the latter.

Ahh, ok, yes. Much clearer! I was interpreting it as a just a row + column thing.

This is neat. Maybe I'm misreading, but what's the second d8 roll for?

Why am I impromptu cleaning the fridge at 1am??? There's no need!

Why the hell can't I make myself go to bed on time? Tonight I thought "Nick, it's not time for video games. It's not time for magic cards. It's time for being asleep.
"... I should quickly throw away that rice in the fridge. And let me have a look at the crisper. Hmm, I'll grab a sponge and--"

I have an offer to make: do you want to run an instance on the fediverse for a group that's underrepresented here?

I'll pay the bills. Period.

I'll do admin if needed (software updates and the like). But you decide what kind of community you want it to be, so you put together the mod team.

DM me.

A tall thin strip of pegboard affixed to the wall next to a concave interior corner. The board has about a dozen tools hung up including a hammer, screwdrivers, pliers, a paint roller, and more. The other wall that makes up the corner is blank, awaiting more peg board. On the other side of the pegboard some shelves holding board games are just visible.

A little home organization project. Part 1 of 2. The other half of the board will go on the blank wall to the left.
And yes, I did level it. The walls are extremely unlevel, hence the narrowing gap in the corner.

LMAO that's just bad business.

But I can't back it right now! I backed it yesterday.

Dr. Jane Goodall filmed an interview with Netflix in March 2025 that she understood would only be released after her death.

A photo of a cool old school car, kinda in the same era as a Model T Ford or something. It's painted gold and has white walled tires. Its convertible top is down.

A crop in on the previous photo, showing a single hand poking out from under the folded down car top.

Ok so I'm going through my photos and came across this photo of a cool car I saw at the pharmacy last week. But I noticed a new detail I missed originally...

My soul cries out for one more tree in the middle haha
