The Final Countdown

 A it under 36 hours left in the year and I am still laboring under the end-of-(horrible)-year good vibes. I'm getting some scribbling done. I don't know what 2026 will bring and Caw'thulhu knows that I am trying not to be too cynical, despite past experience.

I don't have much in the way of a prepared New Year's Resolution.

Last year, I resolved to draw more gratuitous nudity in my comics and such. To a small degree, I've kept that resolution. I could renew it, I suppose. Really go whole-hog on the T&A (& D & V, et cetera) this year Maybe finally get the smut-addled internet to notice ANYTHING I do, but that feels like "cheating", y'know? The same resolution twice in a row?

I could resolve to "get better", but that also feels kind of pedestrian. Besides, self improvement resolutions rarely work out - especially for creative types, as we are mostly self-destructive at our core. Deep down, we secretly enjoy it. it tends to fuel our creativity.

I would NEVER resolve to cut down on the coffee! 

Perhaps I should truly lean into divesting myself of my pathological habit of trying to so sequential comics? I mean, I have taken the last bit of November and almost ALL of December off of continuing the comics I had running and while I haven't been "satisfied" with the break, I do feel a bit lighter. I feel that no one was really paying attention to those comics anyway and I was simply continuing them out of habit. Auto-pilot.

While my non sequential art in the last month hasn't exactly gone over like gangbusters I do feel that I have been 'seen' more. Hell, over on BlueSky, I whipped out an old pic I did like a DECADE ago - a fanart of a fanart - a picture of SLB's sexed-up version of Dexter from Dexter's Lab's sister, DeeDee and her two bff's, Leeli and Mimi, all buxom and wearing the catsuits he put them in. I think they were meant to be spies? i'll have to dig up his old series... anyway, that simple pen scribble has gotten more likes and whatnot in the last few days than a lot of my long-running comics have gotten over on places like CF and The Duck.

Not even one of my better works by a longshot and honestly it only fuels my cynicism regarding how The Internet responds to tits, but I'll take what I can get at this point. I'm still getting likes at 3 am for this pic.

So yeah, I guess I gotta draw more smut in 2026... which makes me a liar for what I just said a few paragraphs ago.

I guess my New Year's Resolution is indeed gonna be the same as last year.

Season's Beatings!!

 Merry Christmas, my little birds!

Here's a shot of prettymuch the only X-Mas themed pics I've done this year:

First up is a notecard art I did about a week or so ago. I wonder if these guys would be the Modern Holiday Trinity? Ol' Saint Nick, The Grinch and The Krampus - and they ain't looking too jolly! Somebody's been naughty this year (*coughthepresidentcough*) and their gonna get coal shoved so far up their stocking, they'll be crapping diamonds until Valentine's Day!

Next up is Mrs. Claus - as a D&D style warrior woman!

I like this concept. As is my wont, I am already formulating sequential art stories in my head. I think I'm going to continue tweaking this concept and I may have a short story done by next Christmas.

I wish the best for you all and as I say every end-of-the-year (in vain), "I hope The New Year treats us all better than this one did!"

Just about a week to go

 I won't comment on what kind of year it's been. you KNOW.

We've got just about a week and a day until 2026 rolls in. A little over a month and change ago, I decided to put sequential comics aside in favor of trying to get the old spark and love of drawing back. I'm still working on that bit. Practice makes perfect, though. He's a short showcase of some of the scribblings I've done in the past month:

Titled: Black Friday and drawn on Black Friday.

A trad art shot of the SUPERIOR Mario Brother (I don't care WHAT the internet says)

Mon*Star, the Planet Master (from SilverHawks)

"Voodoo Child" - though I was listening to the Hendrix cover of 'Born Under a Bad Sign' when I was drawing it.

Crow Skull in red.

So many people thirsty for 'The D".

There's a few more, but I think I'll save 'em for the New Year's Eve post. I can't say that this suits me better than making actual comics. It's certainly not as satisfying, but at least I am producing again after the dry spell that put me in this frame of mind in the first place. I hope to continue and make having started this Blogspot worth the trouble.

Goodbye 2025. We will not miss you.

Hey, look! It's a test post!

 In the new year, this will actually BE something

I PROMISE!!

For now, it's just a parking spot.

CHEERS!
