A spectacled mouse in a trunk and a mouse with a moustache stare down the barrel of a blunderbuss wielded by a third mouse in the foreground. The mouse with the spectacles lays out a detailed plan involving them uniting in order to gain riches. The third mouse lowers their gun.

A ragged, spectacled mouse inside a trunk. They look startled or unsure...
Wasn't quite done with this one

#Drink, #Trunk, #Ragged, #Blunder
These were a wrestle and I'm not entirely satisfied but I'm posting them in the spirit of sharing the struggle and working through limitations.

Join us (finally) for a new episode as @brendanbarnett.bsky.social chats with Ben* about how one man can draw so many wizards, witches, dragons, guards, goblins and other denizen of the Disc, as we read Paul Kidby’s Designing Terry Pratchett’s #Discworld! #Pratchat88

We're close to two months without a job and I don't get how I can't even get the recruiter call.
I got over 10 years experience as an environment artist! 6 shipped titles! A portfolio I'm now expanding on and I'm your gal for architecture, lighting and foliage

A shadow falls over a mouse about to stab another mouse. In the next panel two seagulls bear him into the air. In the final panel the mouse left behind looks away grimacing.
#inktober2024 day 12

I put a tiny shadow on the Gull's face and then I had to commit.

I enjoy the eye being picked out from the shadow. They've seen some things.

🔥It’s called, Islands of Weirdhope.
👀Here’s a seek peak at one of the NPC’s I’ve designed.

A mouse with a moustache stands ready to cuff another mouse but they sweep their legs, grab a rapier and stab them in the shoulder!
#inktober2025
Catching up with #sweep and #pierce.
Some of the panels got away from me a bit but the story continues.
#sketch #ink #comic #mouse #fight
Would these be the same type of cuckoos that kick the other eggs out of the nest?
I know we probably shouldn't apply a moral lens to evolved behaviour but I struggle to feel that bad about them getting unmasked.
Sir Swan Helm for the win!

A mouse with a rapier surveys the water from a boat. Seeing a floating bowler hat, they smile but then are struck by a plank wielded by a dripping wet mouse with a moustache.
#Inktober2025
Day 9 - #Heavy. I really like inking water... Still working on getting shadows feeling right.
#sketch #ink #drawing #mice #comic #greatmousedetective #sherlock
A mouse in Victorian clothes sees a boat exiting a tunnel. They run down some stairs and dive into the water after it.
#inktober2025 Day 8
Is there anything more #Reckless than inking before you've figured out your drawing?
This is amazing (and cuckoo's are soooo sinister!)

Follow if you enjoy aliens, sci-fi & conspiracies, and want to catch my upcoming indie comic
#inktober2025 #area51 #aliens #scifiart #ufo #comic #drawing #dibujo
A mouse with a sword flees a burning room and down some stairs where a boat waits in a tunnel. Human sized garbage is visible in the foreground and a giant starfish clings to the tunnel above the boat.
#inktober2025 Day 7 #starfish
- catching up. I don't mind the roughness but some details get lost.
Would love to have the skill/time to really get a sense of the shadowy bulk of the starfish in the light of the tunnel - one day.
