Felt like drawing something Mega Man today, and I wanted to draw someone I haven't drawn in a while, Terra! from Mega Man V (Or Rock Man World V) for the Game Boy! the leader of the Stardroids, Terra's a determined fighter made of extraterrestrial materials, who has a nack for cleanliness.
Last time I drew Terra was back in 2024, (which you can find here) so I thought it would be neat to see how much my style has changed, I also felt like shading it, since I rarely shade haha.
So no Tobi comic today (granted I didn't make the script to one haha), BUT I do have this drawing I just finished after putting it on the back burner for a while, I'll admit sometimes I forget how I want Tobi to look, but I am proud of this final result. And besides, it's been a hot minute since I've drawn Cooper, I do wanna make another comic featuring him, maybe someday.
And for a bonus, here's an expression sheet of Tobi, mostly made to relearn how to draw him, and to see what faces I can make him have besides the typical smirk. a ton of these were taken from Felix the Cat, more specifically the comics drawn by Otto Messmer, one of the co-creators of Felix, though most of the expressions are semi original ones that I've previously drawn before. the sad Tobi one has his ears slightly flop downwards, since his ears since his ears are mostly treated like rabbit ears.
By the way yes, Tobi does drink, but very rarely. (Gotta make sure he's a role-model for the kiddies!)

It's a new month so I might as well share some stuff from LAST month! Including some non sketchbook ones, mostly because it's been a hot minute since I've shown off those haha.
First up are these two doodles of Riku from Kingdom Hearts, I haven't drawn him in a hot minute so I felt like doodling him, mostly his design from Kingdom Hearts 1, Which is my own personal favorite design (Dream Drop Distance is a close second), also for some reason I decided to draw Geno from Super Mario RPG.
Next is a collection of doodles of Piper! Mostly practicing how I can mimic Tezuka's style giving how Piper's inspired by a ton of Tezuka's characters I'm proud of the one where he's looking at the lake/pond. also Jiminy Cricket's there too, mostly for this one idea where Piper has a little bug companion. (Like Pinocchio)
Next is a collection of doodles featuring Felix the Cat and Bokko from Wonder 3/Amazing 3, Another Osamu Tezuka character (can you tell that he's one of my favorite mangaka's?) I'm most proud of the Felix doodles it's obviously based off of the 1920's/1930's design (back when he had whiskers)
Next is a actually a redraw! that being of Mario and Sonic shaking hands after a very intense fight (ala Ryu and Cyclops) the original was drawn back in 2024 and was done in my traditional art/animation program Flash! More specifically Flash CS3 since that was the program I was using at the time. you can view the original piece right here!
And last but not least, these three doodles of an obscure character from Dragon Ball, Shu! He's personally one of my favorite characters.. ever, due to me being a fan of short goofy characters, or just characters who are the colors orange or purple (Explaining my Blog's logo and layout haha), plus it's been a while since I've drawn him and I wanted to doodle him ^^
For this comic I felt like returning to an old idea involving Tobi that I've had for a while, his love for the popular Italian dish.. Pizza! Mostly inspired by this old doodle I drew when I first drew him back in mid 2025. In this comic, Tobi tries to order a pizza from "Piper's Pizzeria" Only to leave the Waiter/Server unamused in his more fancy way of ordering. Fun Fact, the specific order Tobi's asking for is the kind of pizza I tend to make whenever I don't feel like going to my local Papa Murphy's
I decided to also change the way the comic looks, putting the full logo in and not just the "Tobi" half, along with removing the numbers mostly to make it more like other Newspaper comics (I'll probably add it back if enough people want me to). I also decided to add both a new copyright, and a link to this blog! 'Cause I gotta let the world know that Tobi is my character haha.

So here's a neat thing I found out, every february tons of people (mostly those of the furry variety) like to turn their characters or personas into Kangaroos, or in most instances Louies from Bomberman! This little trend as always peaked my interest, so this year I felt like joining in on the fun, by turning Ricky into a Louie! Whom needless to say is incredibly shocked about his sudden transformation haha.
For those who don't know what Louies are, they're multicolored kangaroo like creatures Bomberman can ride on, each one has different abilities too! I don't feel like listening what those abilities are so check out this article on the Bomberman Wiki right here! Don't know what Ability Ricky would get, if he were even to get one.

Consider this my little Valentines Day drawing, even though I personally don't like it. Though I did want to draw this specific art idea for quite a while. Two lovers making out in a sea of blood (edgy ain't it?!) So I decided to say screw it and draw it. I decided to use a simple limited color pallete for this one, using mostly Red, Black, and Grey for the skin.
Took me a while to get the water (or blood) to look good but I am very proud of the final result! I decided to give the couple tribal tattoos, mostly bc I think they look cool as hell.

Hey all, I rarely make posts about things like this due to it not really fitting the blog, but I feel like I need to get it out there so everyone knows how I feel about the recent evolvement of Artificial Intelligence, more specifically AI. "art" and A.I. "animation"
To keep it short, I hate it. I don't like it one bit. To most people this may seem like me just saying the obvious, and I'm just wasting my time by simply just saying what other people have been saying since 2025. But as an Artist and Animator, I have to witness my fellow artists get their work stolen by people who only view their work as content to feed to the machines and shit out similar looking content.
I miss the days when the machines couldn't even get hands or faces right, but now in our current climate with how much It has evolved, It obviously is going to make people nervous and risk those currently working in the industry, leading to greedy money hungry pigs no longer needing them to make the content they need, and instead will throw them out and replace them with the machines.
Because of the evolution of AI and how much it's slowly getting close to replicating how humans look, draw, and write. Many people are worried that we'll be living in a sort of Terminator like future where the machines take over and replace every single one of us. It shouldn't take a rocket scientist that Humanity will always prevail and machines will forever just be machines. I'm sick of everyone around me constantly bending backwards and letting the machines rape work that was made by people both living and those whom have since crossed the rainbow bridge.
Needless to say, as much as the Machines will evolve and how much those pigs will continue to push it being the future and will replace us actual artists, there will always be those who actually put effort in their work, even if it doesn't turn out great. That's what I love about being an artist and why the machines will never surpass us.
I will not be deterred.

A while back I decided to make little Game Boy/Game Boy Color inspired sprites of Tobi! It's an idea that I've been wanting to make for a while, especially sine I felt like he'd fit in as an obscure mascot platformer haha, The first two sprites were based off of both the normal grayscale color pallete and the more well-known green color oallete of the original Game Boy, and I decided to colorize the Third one, using the somewhat limited colors I could use from the Game Boy Color, I had a ton of fun making these, maybe I'll do something with these one day
[Originally Drawn on January 24th] So here's a very different kind of drawing style that I felt like experimenting with, Not just me drawing Spider-Man, but also with using more darker shading and a little bit of gradients around the suit. The way Spider-Man looks is based off of this screenshot from the old fan-film Spider-Man: The Green Goblin's Last Stand.
Recently I've been getting back in the mood of making sprites, and it lead me to make two sprites of my favorite character Big the Cat in the style of the Game Boy Advance game; Sonic Advance using a sprite from other GBA Sonic game, Sonic Battle, I made both an idle pose and one based off of this artwork drawn by Yuji Uekawa. I also used the Sonic sprite as scale from Big who is... well big haha
So I know I'm mostly posting doodles on this blog currently, but unlike the last post I have more than just two pages to show off haha. So I felt like posting them here, 'cause I can.
First up are two cartoon cats that I happen to enjoy, Sylvester and Bonkers! I haven't drawn these two in a while, but I felt like doing so due to me watching a lot of the original Looney Tunes shorts on Tubi, Also because I just haven't draw these two in a while, and I needed the practice. I decided to color the noses to make it stand out from the rest of the sketch.
Next up are these doodles of Rotor Walrus and Antoine D'Coolette from both Sonic SatAM and the Archie Sonic Comics. I actually own a few of the Archie comics due to my cousin (who's also a huge Sonic dork) handing me down a few of them. Besides that I mostly wanted to draw these two because I wanted to try and draw Sonic characters outside of the normal cast seen in the games, something I tend to rarely do. I drew Rotor both in his post-reboot design and pre-reboot (I like to call them Himbo Rotor and Husky Rotor haha). Antoine was mostly a blend of his post and pre-reboot designs, since I tend to like both.
Then there are these doodles related to Dragon Ball, I mostly drew these due to me reading the 3-1 Manga a ton lately. I didn't feel like drawing much just drew Goku, Krillin, and Puar. I did have fun drawing these especially since I haven't drawn anything DB related in a hot minute, especially of the original series. also this is my first time drawing Puar!
So two days ago I found out that I had completely unused sketchbook I bought back I believe last year, so I felt like using it once and for all! (since I've been meaning to get back into sketching silly doodles) so I'd thought I'd show off the first two pages of the sketchbook.
First up is a collection of Mickey Mouse doodles, mostly drew these because I felt like I forgot how to draw him, I also decided to draw King Mickey from Kingdom Hearts, along with a tiny Minnie Mouse and Walt Disney, mostly because I didn't know what else to add to the page lol.
And next is some doodles of my character Dex dressed as a hunter wielding a pop gun. the raccoon hat was mostly taken from Big Johnson Bone from Bone, the Poncho was just added because I thought it would look cool. Also I drew him meeting a certain Wascally Wabbit, I wasn't gonna color Bugs but I did like how it came out, purple doesn't look to bad on him now that I think about it.
Something I've been thinking about for a while, Giving my green goober a sibling, more specifically a brother! so I doodled up this piece of concept art a while back for how I want him to look.
The main idea was that he was more dorky and nerdier than Tobi and tends to mostly outsmart him, the name Dex came from both the word Poindexter and Dexter from Dexter's Laboratory, explaining the big glasses... And then I got my hands on the first three Bone comics for Christmas of last year, and I recently got back into Osamu Tezuka's work, so I decided to change up his design at least a little bit.
One change that may be obvious is that his body has a more lighter shade of green, specifically Lime Green (though you probably can't tell due to how the camera quality looks), and the shoes were changed to be a darker shade of red. This might not be the final color palette for him, but I don't wanna stray way to far from how he looks in the original Concept art haha.
I based his expressions more or less off of Fone Bone the main character from Bone and the glasses went from being inspired by Dexter to being more inspired by the Tezuka character, Tamao Ome. Heck the last doodle's pose is taken from the Shakespeare Manga Theatre where Tezuka drew himself dressed as Shakespeare. I might make a proper digital drawing of him some day, heck he'll probably appear in the comics whenever I get back into working on those. Though for now it'll remain a silly idea in my head :P

To know thyself is to draw thyself.. said no one, but me.. So I decided to draw myself today! Mostly for practice and because I haven't done so in a while. Decided to do something more I guess surreal where I draw myself, drawing myself! Or at least just my hand (left hand specifically).
So I realized that I've been lacking in drawing Sonic stuff lately, so obviously I had to change that, so I doodled a collection of Sonic's using a couple Mickey Mouse model sheets as reference (something I recommend for those who wanna get into drawing Sonic) I also decided to draw Amy Rose, someone who I desperately need to give more attention too, using a Minnie Mouse model sheet for the pose. I also decided to color it, since I wanted to see how they'd look with colors.
Currently don't have any new art pieces (it's mostly just doodles haha), so I'd thought I'd share some Commissioned Work I've done from last year!
First one was made for fellow artist Orangesundae! who wanted me to draw his snake persona Cone holding Son Goku's power pole (or NyoibÅ for you Japanese purists) Really proud of the final result (though the hands could look way better) I especially love the goofy face I gave him haha
Next one was made for Pearline! who simply wanted me to draw his pencil monster Graf! I really love this green fellow, gives off major King Koopa vibes. Super proud of this one and the background too, I used one of Graf's reference images Pearline sent to me as reference for said background.
This one was made for Vivian, who previously commissioned me before, though this one is one of my personal favorites, the sorta sheepish shy expression really helped, I should draw more goat characters..
Ricky gets introduced into the world of Tobi the Alien! In what I consider the absolute WORST Tobi comic I've ever made. I was almost not gonna make a blog post advertising it but I thought, "Well I might as well do so, I need to start using this blog again anyways.." So here it is, what I personally deem the worst Tobi the Alien comic.
Why do I say this is the worst? well I don't wanna copy what I said on the actual ComicFury page where I showed this off, so I'll just link it here and let you all read why I think this one sucks. though I will admit one more thing, This comic is actually unfinished! There's actually two extra panels I wrote down that I didn't bother actually putting down because again, I rushed myself in order to get this out before Saturday ends, something I recommend fellow comic artists to NEVER EVER DO. It'll make the final product look like a huge mess and you'll get second hand embarrassment that you ever made it.
I think that's enough of my rambling, I might change whenever I release Tobi comics so I don't end up rushing them.

We made it to 2026! I didn't really have any plans to make anything so.. have an image of my rabbit persona JC in a fancy suit. This also is the first time I made something using another program, Krita! Obviously the background's very scuffed, but I am proud of the final result a ton.
The outfit JC's wearing by the way is inspired by a drawing made by Osamu Tezuka where he drew a few of his characters in the same dapper outfit and hat.
Felt like drawing something Mega Man today, and I wanted to draw someone I haven't drawn in a while, Terra ! from Mega Man V (Or R...
