I think I figured out what I want to do for New Skill November: character design and rigging in Blender. It’s something I’ve wanted to do for a long time, but I’ve been very intimidated by it. #newskillnovember #blender

It only just now occurred to me that the guy who asks Bruce Banner if he’s an alien was in the movie Alien. I wonder if that was on purpose.

Share who you think looked the hottest anyone has ever looked in a movie!

I wonder what percentage of the molecules in the air we breathe had at some point passed through a dinosaur’s digestive system and come out as a fart. 🤔

Fighting my way through art block by drawing a cheeseburger.

Art block is frustrating.

I like this idea. Not sure what skill I should try to learn.

Wise words from Steve...

It’s not a great likeness, but it was good practice, and a confidence builder. #themummy #themummy4 #rachelweisz

Amaze! Amaze! Amaze! First my bump. Digital painting practice. #projecthailmary

Digital painting practice of another Star Wars OC, Nickie Chuggets.

The mapping and subsequent simulations of a fly brain raises some very heady questions about the nature of consciousness.

I feel like I’m forgetting something 🤔

For digital painting practice, I painted my Star Wars OC Dorn Cog.

We had a long snuggle session this morning.

If Dolly was our constant reminder that it was Good to be Good, Tim Curry was our reminder that it was Good to be Weird. Embrace your strangeness, sing with Muppets, wear your lingerie with a leather jacket, and fuck with uptight people who hate anything that makes them remotely uncomfortable.

I’ve been drawing my butt off today and feeling pretty good about how it’s looking.

QTP with a game released in the year you were born.

Thumbnailing a new piece. I figured it couldn’t hurt to try planning my drawings before drawing them. If you recognize this devil-summoning sorceress, you’re cool people.

Santa and Krampus’ daughters decorate the tree.

Looks like one of my hopes for the new X-Men movies got fulfilled already. I like this casting choice too.

Call me weird, but I like to actually enjoy the things I like.

Something I made today. I’m calling it my flesh butterflies. Each set has a base skin tone, plus colors for the lips, the pinkish parts of the skin, the blueish parts of the skin, and the yellowish parts of the skin. #colorpalette #skintones

I’m not saying his movies aren’t good, but if a female director acted exactly like Christopher Nolan, the criticism and vilification would be loud and nonstop.

Most popular by far.

I wanted to do one more drawing for #artfight2026, but unexpected events and mental health issues have hindered me from making art this last week. So only 6 attacks this year, but one of them had 2 characters, so in a way I tied last year’s output.

Easy, Rachel Weisz in The Mummy

A strong contender: I do not find worthiness in virtue. I no longer try to be good. It didn’t keep me safe, Like you told me that it would.

#artfight2026 attack #5, for artfight.net/~Peachymoonb... Digital painting is not my strong suit. I want to get better, but I’m not sure how to go about it.

She was so happy and relaxed, sleeping on my lap, she started snoring.
