Writer, painter, player of video games, watcher of anime and cartoons, reader of book, manga and comics. I write mini choose-your-own-adventure stories for a Children’s comic in the UK, the Phoenix Comic, but I’m also trying to write my own novels.

A random screencap from a short video on Facebook (do they call them reels?). The back button to leave the video can not be seen. However the video owner, their avatar, their follow button, the number of likes, comments, shares and bookmarks, the music information and at least some of the text description of the video are impossible to hide from view.
A Mii of Generation 1 Soundwave from Transformers, running around in Tomodachi Life: Living The Dream, being followed by a Laserbeak pet.
In Tomodachi Life: Living the Dream, a Mii asks who the shadow belongs to. The Answer is… Monkey from Bunny Vs Monkey.
A screenshot from an AI made animation, showing a sloth put a cup of tea on the side of a car. As in, they place the cup on a vertical surface, as though it is a horizontal surface. As the AI can’t tell the difference.
A page from the comic, Bacon, showing the main character sitting on a rooftop, looking out over a body of water, towards an abandoned theme park.
The finished Bridget (from Guilty Gear) kit with her Yo-yo.
an unfinished model kit of Bridget from Guilty Gear. text: "Ok, I have until midnight to build this. How much time is left?"
An Eous the Bangboo plushie we found on Amazon.
A screencap from a game clearly showing Mink from Dragon Half having a Cameo in the game.
A drill chocolate piece from an advent calendar, and definitely not a bell turned on its side. I have no idea why you’d think that.
A tweet showing Elon Musk congratulating one of his gooners for using Gork to make a fake waifu. What we can see of the prompt is… is pure cringe, but we can’t see the entire prompt. One odd feature of the created image is the created waifu is holding a tiny photo of Elon Musk against the back of her phone case.
A Kirby Air Riders Custom machine, made to look like G1 Starscream.
The Chariot vehicle from Kirby Air Riders, customised to look like G1 Transformers Hot Rod’s vehicle mode (ID: M02R7SB1 )
Marvel’s Taskmaster (the comic one) close to matching a Very old comic cover- BUT IT’S A PUMPKIN! Dun Dun DUN!
That “guy” from No I’m Not a Human. That One guy. But it’s a pumpkin. Also included, a close up of his pearly whites.
A Cyberpunk Netrunner with the usual tells and signs. They are a player character in the Unexpectable’s Cyberpunk campaign. Some of these shots have a pumpkin’s usual glow, but some shots have a blue glow.
A rather insane princess, from a screenshot of Slay The Princess, as a pumpkin.
The Twisted Cryptids box art (with Mothman, Big Foot, Jackalope and Loveland frog) carved into a pumpkin.
Alastor from Hazin Hotel, his usual grinning self, carved into a pumpkin.
Roboco from Me & Roboco, with that lion that sometimes turns up, with a blank expression saying “I don’t get it.”
The Phoenix Comic P on fire…
A picture of Lieutenant M'Ress (the cat girl from the old Star Trek Cartoon) with the words: “It’s ok, I’m still legal. I’m Sci-Fi not Fantasy.”
A picture of Lieutenant M'Ress (the cat girl from the old Star Trek Cartoon) with the words: “It’s ok, I’m still legal. I’m Sci-Fi not Fantasy.”
An expansion box for a game called Greenlight- pretty much a pack of different cards. However the box is packed tight and impossible to open. The top already shows signs of tearing from attempts to open it.
A guy in a hood from Elder Scrolls: Oblivion, saying the “Necromancy may be legal in Cyrodiil…” quote
Two plushies. A crow with a witch hat from the webcomic Realta on WEBTOON, and a dragon in aro colours. I’m not Aro, I just like the design.
Anxiety Donut (yes, that is the character’s actual name) screaming, showing off his human looking teeth. Anxiety Donut is indeed a donut suffering from anxiety.
Walking Mushroom cake with a slice taken.
A Walking Mushroom from Delicious in Dungeon, was a cake. (Other photos are with different lighting)
A car parked across the entrance to underground parking for flats. Dick move.
A fake medical scan of some sort (maybe an X-Ray?) showing a Xenomorph Chesburster curled up inside a human rib cage.
Witch from Mercury Comic edit based on a (joke) Spider-man comic. First panel- Newspaper showing headlines like “Aerial is Gundam” and “Your Dad still dead”. Second panel- Camera pulls back to show Suletta (or rather Suletta’s head poorly pasted onto Peter Parker) “I survived another newspaper. Finally, I can relax with my many _Fiancées_”. Panel 3, “Suletta” with arms around most of the cast from Witch from Mercury, as they enjoy milkshakes (but really poorly edited), but a voice shouts from off-panel: “Mercury!”…
A bunch of my Original Characters as mostly my own Design Sketches, but one character drawn by someone I’ve met on discord. Comment as well as like and maybe I’ll let you choose who is introduced next.
Okarun in his semi-possessed form from Dandadan … as a pumpkin lantern
A monstrous toothy face, with a monocle on one eye, and the eyeball hanging out of the other, tonsil visible in the mouth, all this carved onto a pumpkin.
