Benny



So I figure I need to do a comic and I'm exploring some ideas with this character. His name is Beneath (Benny for short) and that's his rabbit I haven't named yet.


He was born in an underground society of his species (which I haven't named yet) who are all red with long noses and have varying lengths of tail. My theory is they split off post-ice age and adapted a little differently for their lives underground, went deeper into the caves instead of coming out like humans. For years they traded with humans and stayed relatively in touch, there's some half-and-halfs here and there (gonna claim gingers have their genes a bit lol) and after a while tended to be blamed for maladies like dead livestock or plagues or what have you and eventually in the middle ages were labeled as demons.


I figure after the whole "demon" thing they give up on them and just stick around underground and the only sightings are labeled as cryptozoological at best, aliens and things.Anyway, I'll flesh out more of that when I get to posting some more stuff on it.


So this is Benny and a bunny in the clothes he wears above-ground (which I realized looks like the guy from that DOS game Treasure Mountain hahaha).

OK TOO MUCH TEXT more later when I draw more of the designs and get some story fleshed out.

Ponies and Monsters



Decided work was for CHUMPS today and used some 3 inch crayola colored pencils that were given to me in a crumpled Walgreens bag to draw this pony zebra. The crayolas are only in weird colors like I have 2 teals and a green metallic and various colors of opaque orange but I don’t have any red, so I decided to draw an interpretation of a My Little Pony I had as a child since she’s weird colors too. It was the only one I had and eventually I mohawked her mane (which was apparently pink and not green, I looked it up after I drew it oops - here's the toy I had)

Guess she’s gotten a bit on in years but she’s still alright in my book. She made a good mount for my street sharks and extreme dinosaurs. On the ride home to the little tykes dollhouse. Through the streets lined with Jengas and paved with the occasional curled-up dead centipede.

And a monster because I got bored.

Icicles



I’m getting closer to a way of working I’d be proud/comfortable with reproducing

He’s just talking about icicles, they’re his thing. Wanted to paint a dude for Brovember before Brovember became…Dickcember?

Beefheart



I know I just made a bull painting but I guess I was still on a bull spree!
This one's a gouache resist, I remember it looking cool and I wanted to experiment with it again.

This is Bullshit



"Bullfights and swordfights, rolling in manure;
Blows to the head I can endure!"

Just an illustration of a matador and a bull, nothing too special just playing with technique and composition. I really need to get back into drawing so it's just an exercise for now, hopefully gonna make more stuff soon!

Beneath



This is the main character to a little tale I'm cooking up about underground dwellers, he doesn't have a name yet or anything, I've got some of the story worked out but I don't know where it's going yet. The character is based on the characters in my Rat Men painting. Not my best drawing, but I like it anyway.

Hopefully will make an eventual comic, no promises though~

A is for Arrowhawk


So I've been playing D&D lately with some friends and my boyfriend left his monster manual over here and I decided it might be fun to try and tackle the ABC's of the D&D monster manual. I want to do a little style playing too so they won't all look the same, this one's pencil and photoshop.

A is for Arrowhawk -

An arrowhawk is a predator and scavenger from the Elemental Plane of Air. By twisting its body and varying the cadence of its wingbeats, an arrowhawk can fly at top speed in any direction.

Arrowhawks are extremely territorial and always hungry. They attack almost any other creature they meet, seeking a meal or trying to drive away a rival. The primary mode of attack is an electricity ray, fired from the tail. The creature also bites, but it prefers to stay out of reach.

Also, no legs.
