@surprisestabtober day 15!

We're on time today for a spooky piece of art! I'm very proud of this one. I thought the dark spooky forest would be a great setting for the Cryptid prompt and I think I was right.

This is making me want to rewatch Forgotten Indigo again. It was a lot of fun.

Drawing this made me think about rewatching the campaign she's from. Spirit of the Century - Insect Warlords from Mars was very fun from what I can remember.

surprise stabtober day 10: OCs!!

my life for hire is a rogue stand that hops from body to body, “renting” them for months at a time to live its life. it cannot leave its skins without breaking them, so it mar the most out of its nature.

the rapture of the deep party seeks it out since it caused a lot of disappearances, break its current skin (that it nearly had for a year!), and wallop it since it has no other abilities besides skin-stealing. a true chump in actual combat.

Anyways. Looks like Clown college is going well, right?

@surprisestabtober day 3! When I saw the prompt beach day, I wasn't quite sure what to do, but then I remembered Leviara from Ebon Ward and realised that I hadn't drawn the Ebon Ward East Girls. Unfortunately they were a bit too powerful and awesome and took a bit longer to draw than anticipated but I'm REALLY proud of how this turned out.

Not sure how many days I'm planning on doing for @surprisestabtober this year, but when I saw this prompt - I really wanted to do Kou from Daisuisen after the timeskip. Timeskips feel kinda future-y, right? Hoping to do at least a couple other prompts this year but no promises.
