Monthly Recap Gallery: September 2026 Month of doodles and scribbles and hatching, with some attempts of including backgrounds and story a bit more. Also began a contract with regular weekday work (and Cintiq plugged on separate pc) so maybe a little less pieces than some of the previous months.

Good morning ☀️ doodle warmup work time 🧰

Good morning ☀️ doodle warmup

So far I gotta say Castlevania:Belmont’s Curse is fun. Heavier on the traversal skill use than typical for a Castlevania but the game has been forgiving so far.

1pm. Already finished 3 coffee cups earlier. Damn. 3’s where I set the limit.

fiddled with colors on last evening's drawing

more randomness started imagining a barren grassy hill, then dumped all sorts of junk into it.

Soon we’re gonna have to get off the internet because of all the ai and bots and spying, but at the same time they’re gradually shutting down postal services.

Finally drawing something worthwhile 😌

morning warmup

problem with my baseball cap that says “I’d Rather Be Drawing” is that I can’t draw in public without becoming a character anymore. I don’t draw if I wear it 🥲

more doodling today. think the vertical format is starting to help with making more posture-focused images, and reshuffling my composition habits a little. I used to use the same horizontal format for years as it stemmed from storyboarding canvas.

This incessant doodling must be a symptom. must be.

The process video for this is up on the YouTube. youtu.be/cPoGYDzuZAY

Stop trying to develop skills to create anything. Just use technology to steal someone else's effort. At least that's what the entire economic world and governments seem to be telling us.

ah. yeah. the pen nib at the end of her weapon is a SpeedBall (BowlPoint). I wrote "balloon" instead of "ball" for like, legal stuff maybe? So yeah. An the Turbo SpeedBalloon Plus is an inker's best friend when comes time to face the big tasks.

Went to bed early, got up early.

'nother doodle Good morning!☀️

ok. work time.

Checking Bioware news (EA shttering them). All these consolidations are shedding off last 30 years gaming legacies. We'll have to look for new upstarts that won't sell their skin soon in the game to, uh, repopulate the gaming gut with a healthy, exciting new gaming biome. subtle "metaphors" here.

ok. work time.
