Photo of my Art Desk. On it stands two blue Xenostrike figures doing the handshake from the classic 1987 scifi film, 'Predator'. Behind them is the instructions to build the figures being used as a cheap white background to get the shot.
Ad for Biff No.671. A strange looking fish-like person stands in a jacket with a popped high collar and a t-shirt. They have a very large hand to their mouth as they shout "MOM! A New Strip Dropped!".
Photo of the familiar white and purple striped tent for 'Homemade by Ma'. On the purple wrapped tables are an assortment of crocheted items from hats to baby clothes. On the hanging rack are a number of shrugs and longer items. On the front table sits a box of crocheted face masks with replaceable filters for the smoke and dust.
Photo of my Tablet PC Thingie. On screen is the showering soon-to-be Mouse Girl pic from before. Her arm has been inked. You can see the previous blue sketch and the original pencil thumbnail underneath it and they are all a different length. The final has been matched to the vague size of the girl's body as best as I could manage.
Photo of my Art Desk. On it sits a box for 3 Minute Project kit. It's a black box the the very humanoid looking Xenostrike robot looking very dramatic in blue plastic. It stands in front of a black background with reddish backlight. The box itself is flanked by my two SDCS Gundam figures looking interested and a little miffed by this non-Gunpla kit on the desk with them.
Photo of a couple of old Atari 2600 games. They are the original Pac-Man and ET: The Extra-Terrestrial. The ET cart is looking Extra rough. The Pac-Man has random MLB stickers on it. Both have my last name on them.
Photo of four Atari games - two for the 2600 and two for the 7800. It's showing off the older and newer versions of Donkey Kong Junior and Ms. Pac-Man. The name "Amill" is written on all of them as was the style at the time.
Photo of my Main System's main monitor. On screen is the same Illustrator file I've been working on only with all of the inks finished. Over the left shoulder of the anthro Bunny Girl, we see her friend standing in a doorway. A normal human teen boy with a late 80's/early 90's inspired short haircut with a bit of cartoony floof in the bangs. He's sporting boots, baggy jeans and a layered t-shirt with a short sleeved shirt over a long sleeve shirt. He's looking in the direction of his fluffy friend with concern. In his hand is a first aid box. Beneath him is the now full colored title: "I was a Teenage Werebunny". The blocky and slightly rough font is in a very slightly orange looking safety yellow while the word "Teenage" is lit up in a process magenta and written like a neon sign.
Tradigital color pic of an anthro Monkey from 2016. The Monkey in question is Murphy and he is an agent of chaos. He sport a red short sleeved shirt over a white long sleeved shirt and a pair of blue jeans. He's leaning in a comically large stylized double sided wrench. Murphy smirks at the viewer while giving a flaming thumbs up while being surrounded by a column of fire.
Photo of my Tablet PC Thingie. On screen is the pic from before, zoomed into the head and back of the nameless woman in the shower. Her ear is larger than normal and she's starting to develop a classic set of mousy buck teeth. Her hair is slicked back save of a couple of think strands of hair off the front of her head. Like the soap print ads of old, she had a massive open mouth grin - almost scarily so - that no one has ever had in a shower outside of the advertising this is a parody of.
Photo of my Tablet PC Thingie. On screen is a blown up version of the sketch of a lady in a shower for a parody soap ad. In the upper right hand corner is a quickie 3D pose mockup to help with the odd angles on the legs. On top of the original pencils is a very hastily drawn blue line sketch of the woman's body. Her hands, a leg and a long mousy tail showing the transition from normal human lady to a Squeaky Clean anthro mouse lady.
Panel from the short story, 'Genesis', from Weird Science-Fantasy Number 29 from May of 1955. We see the amorphous blob of flesh, once a man named Lee, as it begins to divide in two. Text of Lee's thoughts read: "It's as if... as if... Oh, Lord!... as if I am becoming Nothing... a Blob of Protoplasm without shape or substance..."
Ad for Biff No.670. It's a color clip from the cover of the latest Biff comic collection - Volume 7: [REDACTED]. We see everyone's favorite character, [NULL], in his classic outfit of a bleached canvas jacket with brown trim around the collar over a grey t-shirt and blue jeans. They're sporting a faded blue ball cap flipped backwards. [NULL]'s hair pokes from the opening in the back. They have a confused look on their face. Behind them is the typical full moon and fog used on all the Biff Books.
Photo of a penciled comic. Title: "Homecoming...". We see a person suiting up in a slim fitting space suit. They put on the helmet with a Clack! and a hiss. Doing a check, they get a computer voice saying "All Systems - Nominal". As the ship's doors open with a classic Star Trek "Shff!", they stand in shadow against the bright lights of the outdoors... only to be greated by a four armed hoodie wearing bug-like alien in a very non-alien residential area. The bug puts a hand on the suited up person's shoulder and say "Hun? You know we're back on Earth right?". The suited person shrugs. They reply "Just let me have this.".
Photo of my sketchbook. On the page is an anthro Bunny sporting jeans and a t-shirt looking toward the viewer. It's a fairly simple pose with a twist. The bunny boy is holding his left hand. We catch a glimpse of his right arm and hand still looking a bit human. He stands in front of kinda' sorta' blank signage that, if done right, was going to say "Become Bunny" repeated across the various lines.
Photo of my sketchbook. On the page are the continued adventures of Fake Advertising. Text reads "Squeaky Soap - Sketches". Below is a quickie sketch of a human woman in a shower with an awkwardly short glass wall. We see her from behind washing her arm. The hand closest to the water is a mousy claw. Through the glass, we see her silhouette as a mousy tail finds its way out the side. Notes next to it read "Use soap bubbles as border of Mouse/Man", "Fix shower head" and "Mak a bit Too happy". Below that is a pair of headshots. The human one is titled "Clean". The anthro mouse one is titled "Squeaky Clean". Both have the same look and hairstyle implying they are a before and after of the same lady. Notes for them read: "Make look like Polaroids", "Ape 'Zestimonials' style" and "Fix Eyes on Mouse!".
Traditional monochrome pencil pic from 2011. We see a stylized vision of Death - a skeletal woman with long claw-like fingers in a hooded robe based off of Grim's from "The Grim Adventures of Billy and Mandy" and the shapeshifting cape from "Spawn". She has long eyelashes coming from her very eye shaped empty orbital sockets and a mouth with teeth-like marks that are more lip-like than bone. Her robe shows her to somehow still have a chest and hips despite her look. She's holding onto a large scythe with a bird skull backing the blade wrapped in a similar material to her robe. She's backed by a full moon and flanked by a moody fog.
Photo of my sketchbook. On the page are notes for yet another fictional product ad. The product: Squeaky Soap. We see a quickie sketch for a full page ad of a mouse lady in a shower with a glass wall Just tall enough to make the shot fine for print. Notes next to it read "Look up old ads - Ivory, Zest" and "Tagline: Not just clean, Squeaky Clean". Below it is a mock up for the product's logo. It has a mouse-like "S" leading the word Squeaky. The rest of the letters are in small caps. Notes read "Work on 'S'. Make Mousy" followed by the very helpful font style suggestions of "San Serif", "Something Fun" and "Script?". The last image is of a stylized "S". The shape implies a mouse body with additional ears and an eye for good measure.
Photo of a scrapped script from the comic 'Biff the Vampire'. The hand written page shows the exceptionally thin layout I use when writting scripts I will eventually draw. We see both text and dialog from characters as well as tick marks chunking out possible panels.
Photo of an old plush toy fresh from the dryer. It's a white bear with oddly human proportions holding onto the gimmick it came with. It's an Easter toy and the little bear came in a purple zip front bunny suit - like a bunny Kigurumi but from a good ten years before that was a big thing as its tag has a 1999 copyright date. The technically naked bear is propped up to look like it's holding his clothes in one hand while looking deep into the camera.
Digital color pic from February of 2012. It's fanart of DJ P0N-3 (or Vinyl Scratch), a background character from the 2010 cartoon "My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic". The slightly off-white cartoony Unicorn sports a two tone blue/sky blue mane and tail and black glasses with purple lenses. They are sitting fairly cat-like on a large neon blue circle with their left "arm" as they are surrounded by floating neon colored records suspended by the magic emanating from their horn. The almost black navy blue background has a repeating dark purple square pattern reminiscent of a blacklight poster. P0N-3 is framed slightly glowing musical note - a stand in for her "Cutie Mark" or the image found on the flanks of almost all My Little Pony characters.
Tradigital color pic from 2010. Prophet - my grey and white cat character - stands on a rock holding a large flag pole. On it is a random silvery fish on a blue background. Proph's stance is that of the Captain Morgan logo despite him rocking his usual green t-shirt, open black short sleeved shirt, blue jeans and black boots. There are red, white and blue stars surrounding an oval as a background. Text below reads "Support your Local Cartoonist! A message from the House of Amill - www dot Proph E K A dot Com"
Screenshot from my phone of the website 'Destiny Tracker'. Shown are times from the various Sparrow Racing League tracks and my fastest runs. It reads, "Campus Martinus - 4:31.394, Infinite Decent - 4:18.324, Haakon Precipice - 4:25.572, Shining Sands - 4:33.291".
Traditional color pencil pic from Way back in 2013. The image is of my take on the classic Disney design for Tinkerbell - the loveable fairy with attitude from 'Peter Pan'. She's surrounded by a stream of tiny Kirby Dots of "Fairy Dust". She's holding on to a dandelion that's in full fluffy seed ball mode. It's massive in size compared to the tiny fae but she carries it well. The flower stem, Tink's leaf green outfit, blonde hair, blue eyes and fair skin are standard color pencils. Her wings are colored with a heavy dose of Non-Photo Blue.
Ad for Biff No.669. Biff happily walks by a doorway. He's sporting a "Hunter" class logo from the game series 'Destiny' on his shirt. As he's going past, he says "Eyes Up, Guardians! A new strip is incoming!".
Screenshot of my Hunter from Destiny 2. The hooded cat-faced character is sporting the black, grey, white and purple of the Ace Pride flag. Head: Cat-Eye Mask with Dead Oribit Resurrection shader, Arms: Vigilant Seraph Grips with Technofusion shader, Body: Holdfast Vest with Indivisible shader, Legs: Bushido Strides with First Light shader, Cloak: Aspiring Challenger Cloak with Worn Interference shader.
Photo of a massive 1949 Zenith Porthole combo unit. This beast of a piece of equipment has a perfectly circular TV set flanked on either side by a flip down turntable and a flip out AM/FM(?)/World radio. All this in a love wooden cabinet. The one in the photo needs a cleaning and, from the stuff both on top of and around it, looks like it's being worked on.
Title card for Star Trek: The Next Generation. The Enterprise flies by a planet. Text reads, "The Secret of the Box".
Title card for Star Trek: Voyager. It's a shot of the underside of the ship. In an orange to yellow faded font, text reads "A Visit from the Kids".
Photo of the familiar purple and white striped tent of 'Homemade by Ma'. On the tables are an assortment of crocheted items. Still setting things up is Ma.
Photo of a small sketchpad. On it is a quickie pencil sketch for the cover character for Biff the Vampire Volume 7. The character is the guy who works at the movie theater. The very simplistic looking guy has goggle eyes and a super simple hairstyle. They sport a shirt, jeans and a jacket. They're standing with their hands in their pockets. They're firing a look at the viewer. Notes next to them read: "Fix head size. Add hat? Figure out colors. Figure out a Damn Title!".
Photo of the repaired and upgraded windchime. The purple of the windchime's tubes and decorative beaded strings with butterflies stand out against the green of background bushes, trees and lawn.
Photo of my Art Desk. Strewn across the surface is a bunch of beads & the remains of a purple windchime. The remaining bits - a few clear purple beaded strands tipped with matching butterflies - have been cleaned. To be added are some oval amethyst beads, some silver and dark wooden beads and some clear black glass faceted skulls as is Ma's thing.
Photo of a computer monitor. It's of a Windows Error message. The title bars says "Something happened". The info box also says "Something happened". A white mouse cursor hovers over a button the reads "OK".
Digital color pic. It's a parody of the black and red NERV logo from the original 'Neon Genesis Evangelion' series. Instead of the familiar split fig leaf, we see the silhouetted profile of a Moogle. In the cut to left is the word "Kupo". Like the original, the word is split in half. The U and O are partially covered by the Moogle. Text curving along bottom reads, "Gods are in their Heaven. All's right with the World, Kupo.". The image looks like a round patch one would find on a uniform. It sits on a charcoal gray background.
Screenshot from my phone. It's a clip from Pokémon GO of a sky blue colored Shiny Mew with perfect IV's. The critter is named 'Blu Mew' - a play on the name of a currently heavily marketed "Male Enhancement" product.
Photo of my sketchbook. On the page is a quickie sketch of a Final Fantasy and Neon Genesis Evangelion parody idea. It's a spoof on the logo for NERV. Instead of a Fig leaf, there's what would be a Moogle head in silhouette. The word "NERV" is replaced with "KUPO". Notes next to the pic reads, "The Gods are in their Heaven. All's Well with the World, Kupo.".
Traditional pencil pic from Drawlloween 2025. We see a Very bewildered anthro gummy bear with their hands in up in front of them. The former human is staring at one of their large gummy Monster Mitts, flexing their candy fingers as they try to wrap their mind around what's happened to them. They're sporting a simple t-shirt and jeans.
Photo of one of the seats in my Living Room. On it sits the stuff I got for my birthday. There's a couple of full series - Cowboy Bebop and classic Trigun - leaning against the large box of the M G S D Gundam Barbatos model kit. Behind them are two unfortunate t-shirts. The text on both is... bad.
Screenshot from my phone. It shows a chunk of the many automated "Happy Birthday" emails from places I've signed up at. One of which is from a forum I haven't been to in well over a decade.
Very dark Photo of my Computer Desk/Garage shelving unit. The glow from my screens and my faux neon bat light up a few objects on my messy desk. Above all that is the real show - My shelf filled with boxes of model kits is lit with a bright warm light. My decorative lights can be seen lit up by the reflected light.
Photo of my childhood plush bear - Teddy - in all his glory. The poor bear is missing patches of fur in spots and is an almost uniform color of beige from literal decades of use, abuse, and having witnessed life. His head rests on a blood red pillow on black sheets.
Color digital pic called "Behold, a Pale Hobby Horse". We see a kid version of death playing around. They are the classic skeleton version sporting a kid sized black robe over a pair of blue jeans. They are as barefoot as a skeleton can be. They have a small stylized scythe in one had and a stick in the other. That stick is an old riding horse toy with a plush pale horse head and a wheel to help ride around on it. They are having a blast. The background is a simple oval with a red to white fade.
From 07.04.2007, it's Biff the Vampire No.06 - "Money Pit".
Photo of my Main System's main monitor. On screen is the same Illustrator file I've been working on only with all of the inks finished. Over the left shoulder of the anthro Bunny Girl, we see her friend standing in a doorway. A normal human teen boy with a late 80's/early 90's inspired short haircut with a bit of cartoony floof in the bangs. He's sporting boots, baggy jeans and a layered t-shirt with a short sleeved shirt over a long sleeve shirt. He's looking in the direction of his fluffy friend with concern. In his hand is a first aid box. Beneath him is the now full colored title: "I was a Teenage Werebunny". The blocky and slightly rough font is in a very slightly orange looking safety yellow while the word "Teenage" is lit up in a process magenta and written like a neon sign.
Photo of my Main System's main monitor. On screen is the same Illustrator project as before only now the anthro Bunny Girl is done! Her arms have been completely inked along with the bits of her t-shirt and visible part of her pants.
Photo of my Main System's main monitor. On screen is the same Illustrator file I've been picking at. The inks have finally made their way down to the little anthro Bunny Girl's right arm and the top of her short sleeved t-shirt. The image is darker than the others as I'd turned off my desk lamp so the shot is lit by the blue glow of a fake neon bat.
Photo of my Main System's main monitor. On screen is the Illustrator work from before. We see the shocked anthro Bunny Girl's head is almost completely inked. Her hair is pretty much done save for some details around the base of her ears. Said ears have been reshaped from the still visible pencils at their base to make them ever-so-slightly less cartoony and more like actual rabbit ears.
Photo of my Main System's main monitor. On screen is an open Illustrator window with an Extreme close-up of the bunny girl from the previous pic. There are some inks done - the eyes, eyebrows, nose and mouth. A fake blue neon bat hangs in the background while a warm white light reflects off the ceiling.
Photo of my Tablet PC Thingie. On screen is an inappropriately heavy Illustrator file - my Movie Poster template - and it has the previous artwork on it. It is set off to the side a bit so that the bunny girl is set within the one inch boundary and low enough that I can finish her ears. The space gained on the left side is opened up for later rearranging of the boy in the doorway. Under him has stylized text. It reads "I Was A Teenage Werebunny" with "Teenage" done in a handwritten font and the rest in a slab used on a prior Werebunny poster.
A traditional color pic from the 90's. Fanart of Sonic the Hedgehog done by me based on the design by GuNMouTH from the same time period. Sonic is sporting a brown jacket and green shirt 'cause those were the colors I had on hand. Despite being known for running everywhere, Sonic is riding on a weird 'Akira' inspired shiny red motorcycle as was my thing at the time. The whole thing is rough as Teen Me was just starting to get "Serious" with his drawings.
Photo of my sketchbook. On the page is a couple of people in a darkend room. The one in the foreground is looking down at her suddenly fluffy paws with a shocked look on her anthro bunny face. Her new long ears are pointed straight up as she hears her friend behind her. The boy is standing in the doorway in the background with a First Aid kit in his hand, unaware that it's not going to be of any use for his friend's affliction.
Photo of someone else's KB Gear Jam Studio drawing tablet. The silver drawing tablet has a very funky shape with two black fake grips on the sides. On the right is a holder for the wired pen that connects via a headphone jack. Popping out from the top is the hard wired 9-pin(?) connector with a USB cable adapter on it.
Ad for Biff No.119. Biff sits at the Kitchen table in front of an Easter basket. He's talking to Rosa and Vida just off-panel. He says, "Did I ever tell you guys the story of how I met the Easter Bunny?".
Photo of my kitchen table covered in newspaper. Front and center is a dozen dyed brightly-colored eggs. Most are soilds with three looking banded and mottled.
Shot of the crew of the 'Outlaw Star' standing on the front deck. From Left to Right: Melfina - a human female bio-android with kinda' wild black 90's anime hair. She's sporting a mid-length blue cloak over a basic salarywoman business outfit and is the ship's navigation system. Next is Aisha Clanclan - a fairly humanoid looking alien warrior from the Ctarl-Ctarl. Her long white hair ends in a super thick braid and a gold ring, a contrast to her tanned skin and long dark brown elf-like ears. Her outfit it a light tan crop top with a green skirt and a belt. She also sports a large cat bell attached a weird set of plate pauldrons. Next is Gene Starwind - a redheaded human bounty hunter and ships pilot. He sports a tan duster over a black bodysuit, white boots and blue gloves with thick white back and cuff. Down in front is Jim Hawking - human kid genius, resident tech guy and Gene's business partner. The little blonde kid dresses the part of mechanic with baggy white pants and a short blue shop coat over a tan t-shirt. Last is the human Ultra Class-A ninja-assassin, Twilight Suzuka. She sports a classic white and red kimono with orange pauldrons and her wooden bokken.
Photo of my Art Desk. On it sits the box for the HG RGM-89D Piko Altidore's Jegan Type-D model kit. The inky blue monochrome box means it's a P-Bandai kit. It is flanked by two SDCS Gundam figures - the G-3 and the Blue Gundam - as the look like they're holding it up for the camera.
Photo of my sketchbook. On the page are some head sketches to figure out a better haircut for the previously posted Bunny Boy. Of the four, one is selected for later. The first was a short cut with a rounded poofy front and a side part. The second is a more angular large bit of hair with a middle part and a pixy inspired shave. The third is similar to the first with a middle part. The last is a thicker faux hawk inspired style. Below are a couple of takes on the standing pose with digitigrade feet and more extreme action curves.
Photo of my sketchbook. On the page is the surviving sketch of a possible poster idea that is Very loosely "Easter"-based. It has a figure standing with their back mostly to the viewer. They are holding an Easter basket. A larger image of their head facing front covers the right side of the poster and is cut off. Across the top is a mirrored strip of figures in a full sprint with an Easter egg in the middle. Notes next to it read, "Title: 'Run, Bunny! RUN!'. Draw the run once - Copy and flip. Push pose more. Digitigrade?". Below is a very late 90's anime inspired bust of the anthro Bunny Boy with some epic long hair and an angry look.
Photo of my Art Desk. On it sits a clear plastic bag containing the black plastic parts that will make up a black plastic gantry-style display stand for one of my Gundam kits. It's being held up by my SDCS Blue RX-78 Gundam. My MGSD Freedom Gundam is stopping to look at it with their hand near their chin.
