Further to the drawovers I did during Quicktober, I decided to experiment further by running a raffle on a stream and offer folks a chance to participate.

This generated image had a completely different vibe to 05. Dreamcase's one, which I picked on the basis of Trixter's displacer beast-adjacent cat monster critter and wanting to practice some more painterly techniques. I think it turned out alright.

Quicktober! Quick draws for instant whims.

I discovered this Bsky account, called tweegeemee, which posts two procedurally generated (not AI generated, an extremely important distinction to make) images every half hour.

This is the second batch from the ones I posted earlier this Quicktober; "03. Dark Gate," "04. Strange Plane." The hotlinks lead to the original tweegeemee posts on the site that the generator maintains.

03. got a genuine "holy shit" from me when I switched off from the working colours to see how the effects I was building up would end up looking in the finished product. I knew what I was aiming for when I first saw the generated image and I'm so proud of how well it translated into the finished piece.

Both of them have such an intense, ephemeral vibe, and it's exactly what I wanted when I initially came up with the concept for it ages ago, back on Twitter.

For last night's stream, I decided to focus my attention on making some artwork in homage to the entertaining stuff that's kept me sane in recent weeks.

I expect that these fanart related posts will be a regular occurrence. First up this time around, we have Bigtop Burger. It's a wonderfully quirky, fantastically animated short series on YouTube that I strongly encourage everyone to watch.

I can't even begin to list the ways in which I love this show, so instead, here's the drawings I got done for it. I love all of the characters in it, but I had to start from somewhere and sadly didn't have the time to include everybody. I might make more sometime.

I recently streamed a full playthrough of Carrion over on my Twitch account, and I loved every bit of it. This is a little homage to its aesthetic in a rather silly marriage between the gorey, lo-fi grunge and cutesy, fluffy whatever-it-is that you'd call my style. It was really fun to make!

The contrast between subject matter and theme from the start to the end of the same stream was certainly not lost on me.
