a comic. ?? am: annoying dog on my bed... well, as long as he doesnt bother me (i am sleeping). 8am: dog is bothering me >:( 9am: woken up by a repeating noise? too sleepy to identify what it is. (sound was "dog barking") bigger dog wants to go outside and is barking. i am sleepy and let him out. i'll feed the dogs since im up. then i tumble back to bed. 10am: sleepily discussing plans about our multiplayer factorio game. my friend says "nuclear power!" i go back to sleep. zzz. the dog is back again. 11am: dad phone call. he is also being accosted by dog (the dog is sleeping on his chest). 12pm: okay time to actually start my day. eating leftovers. doing the dishes... scrub the water bottles or else!!! 1pm: cleaning my messy desk! i stand with my hands on my hips next to a messy desk. still 1pm: vacuuming my floor (dog fur on it). then got tired and laid down in bed again. stuff from my desk is on my bed. 2-6pm: lets play deadlock!!! the games were awful... our team got so gamer mad at us. i am sad mcginnis and my friend is sad rem. 6-8pm: watched rush hour (1998) with friends. what if i watched police story again... 8pm-12am: factorio!! replacing steel furnaces with electric furnaces. organizing conveyor belts. crashing my car into every tree & pipeline

it took so long but i finally put together my hourly comics from last week (i just needed to arrange them but i got busy...)

#hourlycomicday #hourlycomicday2026

a drawing of 3 half life characters taking a group photo. gordon freeman (standing in the hev suit, smiling), alyx vance (holding up their hand as bunny ears behind gordon's head, winking), and barney calhoun (also holding up their hand as bunny ears behind gordon's head)

#halflife

ive been scowling at anatomy textbooks while working on drawings too much lately... gotta let go and just halfass some doodles... for the soul... 🧘

black and white sketches on a gray background. afterburner-era basil, two black women, a scruffy guy w/ long-ish hair squinting, taggart, and a worried scientist gordon freeman thinking about gman

quick miscellanea before bed

the timelapse for this is funny because it reveals that i drew a motorcycle like 3 times. and there is zero motorcycle in the final image

closeup screenshot of afterburner in the background grinning smugly after blowing a kiss or heart or something of that nature

if there is 1 thing u should know about chip its that hes still obsessed with some guy who bullied him years ago

taggart blushing while looking upwards and thinking about a short haired woman with ear/nose piercings and painted nails (labeled alt chicks). basil rubbing the back of his head and looking downwards thinking about a bearded guy in a leather jacket holding a motorcycle helmet (labeled thick motorcycle dudes). chip crossing his arms and confidently imagining a buff flexing man and a buff woman. a guy in the background is smugly grinning after blowing a heart. its afterburner btw. (labeled: muscles in general. and... well...). samson standing and staring off into the distance, pleased. hes thinking about himself, who is looking at the viewer. behind him is a cheering crowd. (labeled: yep)

what theyre into

photo of a acrylic charm display where the deadlock charms have been replaced with hand drawn representations on paper labeled sold out. ivy, seven, abrams, haze, and vindicta

the whole set now

a picture of a display board of acrylic charms. next to an ivy charm are sold out signs for seven, abrams, haze, and vindicta with pen depictions of what they were

theyre disappearing...!

drawn sign that says warlock totes sold out with a crude drawing of a warlock tote

sold out signs with a crude depiction of the vindicta and seven acrylic charms they're for

I've been making highly bespoke sold out signs for them as time goes on

it was a really good panel btw!! wow... so many people too...

i think the badges have been sold out for a while, so you'd be additionally prevented from realizing this hypothetical

there's a magfest panel about outer wilds tonight that im gonna wander into. a dev in their midst

hello i am at magfest. consider wandering into the marketplace and purchase some of my friend's destiny wares

digital drawing of gordon freeman from half life 2. black/gray/white ink-esque style

testing some brushes out with gordon the freeman

tumblr flagged my post... the first image is so warmtoned the stupid ai bot they use for moderation prolly thought it was nude flesh 🙄

I didn't cook these other little guys and they got very very dusty. oops. so i made sure to bake this new one immediately before I forgot

I've succumbed to the curse of walking into art supply stores. I have several nibs now

pen and ink drawing of me sitting in a computer chair holding a small object and saying "aw frick my 2 dollar dip pen nib is rusty" with another drawing of me shedding a single tear mournfully saying "i was starting to understand it, too..."

got a new art tool: the classical dip pen nib. im learning how to use it. and how to ruin it. apparently.

same drawing of victor frankenstein but he's grimacing and looking off to the side angrily. text says "what if there was a guy and he sucked soooooo bad." text above him says "milk count: 5"

heres my update after watching the movie and knowing what happens in it

a drawing of victor frankenstein on the right looking mildly annoying saying "of course im making my monster hot otherwise whats the point"

scheduled a discord event to watch the frankenstein movie with my friends but i didnt know anything about what happens in it so i googled one (1) image of oscar isaac victor frankenstein and drew this banner real quick ⬇

this time around i learned that it really does look better when you set your lineart to a monochrome layer. stops the halftone layer effect from getting weird with any antialiased edges

black and white halftone comic. chip is clenching his fist and laughing in a sinister manner. the next panel hes brushing his hair back and saying "you have no idea how long i've waited for this"

saw a cool halftone drawing and was compelled to also make a halftone drawing.
chip thinks hes finally gonna have a match with his long lost rival but hes gonna be sooooo mad when he wakes up from his dream
