www.etsy.com/shop/Cuteref... if you're panicking about Christmas and need some emergency prints, cartoon collections, stickers - or christmas cards to send with them, for those that still do that sort of thing!

Still healing up from the arm injury, but had to mark the occasion at least a little :) Happy 60th, Star Trek, you delightful franchise you ❤️

Happy 60th Anniversary to Star Trek! Live long and prosper! 🖖🏻

No I didn’t just listen to HOMM soundtracks all the way to UKGE why do you ask

Coming out of burnout is a hell of a thing. I am spending this time responsibly, yes.

Also off the topic of drawing, but guess what season just started fuckers

From the same sketch set, Brett and Jonesy. Most of the rest of my pictures of the crew were too rubbish to share but I’m going to keep practicing them.

Throwing some old and new sketches up over the next few weeks to get back in the habit of posting - starting with Lambert from Alien, a nerd who deserved better.

So, not really been around for a while - Got sent into a horrifying physical burnout flare spiral at the end of last year that I'm only just starting to come out of now. BUT! Sketching again, feeling the joy of it again, now I just need the health part to perk up a bit so I can finish anything 😂

Playing the new Heroes of Might and Magic game and what do you mean if I want treasure I have to beat up God's Most Perfect Angel? #HOMM

When in artistic doubt, return to your comfort zone. Which for me is, apparently, skeletal creatures in rococo wear despite the fact that none of the stories I spend much time in actually include them 😅

I should be posting the ACTUAL work I've been doing, but since some of it is secret and some of it is tiny paintings of abyssal fish, have some more of my downtime pictures with @bobvids.com experiencing Umineko for the first time.

Realised that I never uploaded the final version of my Silent Hill F print (in fact, I have a huge backlog both of stuff to upload and WIPs to finish off, so that's nice). I was playing with different brushes than usual and I think they rather suited Hinako :)

Been in a drawing slump for far too long (health BS) but apparently not too much of one to draw a longtime favourite streamer as the objective best Umineko character - so glad you've started The Journey, @bobvids.com :)

The two of us are about to spend a decent amount of the Christmas holiday around a relative who sells GenAI ‘work’. Managed to juuuust about avoid bloodshed last year, who knows this year 😓

Watching @airbagged.bsky.social play Umineko and remembering anew my dislike of Erika Furudo.

Well, the imposter syndrome is still in full force but here I am! #thoughtbubble

Come check out the exclusive debut of M.O.D.S. Issue Two at the WIP Comics table at Thought Bubble this weekend! Copies of this fun mystery adventure comic zine are also available via my website: rosshopkins.co.uk/product/m-o-...

Anyone attending the Thought Bubble festival and in want of Star Trek, Alien, classic adventure game and cute frog art should defs come to the Cuterefaction stall in Bubbleboy Hall, H7b :)

And of course as soon as I get up to date on trektober I get sicker and fall behind again, why WOULDN'T that happen 😓

sketch for a piece of Silent Hill F fanart and I just know I'm going to like it more than the final version

And with that, I am up to date on Trektober and can actually relax a bit!

Belated Trektober, Day 14 - Ghost Ship. I WAS thinking of doing an Empok Nor 'are you SURE we cleared out all the lizard serial killer drugs?' gag but that felt a tad dark, so YARRRRRRRRRRR have the dread ghost pirate Captain Tendi and her crew of ne'er-do-well deadsigns instead :)

Belated Trektober, Day 13: Single Episode Character. Sylvia from Catspaw is so delightfully weird, bringing big 'we have Elvira at home' energy to a show that absolutely did not require a sexy shapeshifting cat/clanger puppet. So here's to one of sci fi's weirder dommy mommies ❤️

Belated Trektober, Day 12: Synthehol. Guinan is handing it over just before calling you out on all the self sabotaging crap you've been pulling.

Belated Trektober, Day 11: Frenemies. Spock and Bones' relationship is the most adorable thing in Star Trek and I will never tire of it 🥰

Bonus pic of the PMA from my little collection of Star Trek / Revolutionary Girl Utena redraws, featuring a cunty little cocktail, delavian chocolate, and live gagh.

Belated Trektober, Day 10 - Promenade. If we have to have established character spinoffs, my vote is for a Quark-led one about the Promenade Merchants' Association that is just petty wrangling about rents, rates and leases whilst galaxy-spanning crises occur constantly just offscreen.

Belated Trektober, Day 09 - Animals. To go with Yeoman Rand, we have Yeoman Lawton, who was turned into an iguana in one of the very first episodes of TOS and I was heartbroken when they said everything got turned back to normal in the end because IGUANA IN STARFLEET.

Trektober, Day 8 - Underrated Character. Rand isn't some damsel, she's the PA for one of the most dangerous men in the quadrant. She has to ask the captain to intervene in conflicts because of how bad she might hurt THEM. She paints, she does botany, Rand is awesome, no arguments taken.

Belated Trektober 2025, Day 7: Fanfic AU. Spock, Kirk and McCoy are Kpop Demon Hunters and I can't bring myself to be sorry.

Belated Trektober 2025, Day 6: Holodeck Costume. I am a little sad that we never got the scenes of Jadzia or Julian ordering the stupidest last-minute costumes from Garak and then showing him screenshots from 400 year old movies or scans of medieval tapestries or whatever for reference.

Belated Trektober 2025, Day 5 - Worlds Collide. I imagine most recruits like Nog join starfleet for the glitz and glamour of being a space hero and then have to face the reality that you might just get your leg blown off by stormtrooper dinosaurs in a dirty cave in the middle of nowhere instead.

Trektober 2025, Day 15 - Era Swap. Dr T'Ana may like getting her paws out in the holodeck but given that she seems to have trouble fully retracting her claws the ship floors would probably feel pretty vile.

Been pretty sick of late so been quietly catching up on trektober - expect a flood of posts 😅

Today is a day when arts degrees are worthless, but the product of those degrees is so valuable it would kill an entire industry if they were made to pay for it.

Trektober 2025, Day 4: Caves. I felt in season 7 that Kira and Garak were being WAY less prickly than usual when working with the liberation front and I suspect it's because the way Cardassians flirt would make everything they said sound like the beginning of a porno if they just talked normally.

Trektober 2025, Day 3: Orb Encounter. I think it's interesting that the only romantic relationship Kira had with even the remotest amount of chemistry was the one with a being that only identified as male as a matter of convenience. Just throwing that out there.

Trektober 2025, Day 2: Uniform. I always thought the insistence on a member of a historically oppressed people having to remove symbols of their culture to be kind of gross and BS to be honest. Rare Riker L.

Trektober 2025, Day 1: Final Frontier. I bet baby Mariner was the BIGGEST TOS nerd and learned the Final Frontier speech before she could walk properly.

So Silent Hill F is definitely A Time :D

Little picture of Shion from Higurashi, might clean up properly later :)
