The Backrooms

Uh oh! It appears Collin and Milo have accidentally stumbled into the backrooms. Collin appears to be curious about where they are, while Milo is wondering why the carpet is here is so damp.

Needless to say, this was inspired by the recent release of the A24 film, Backrooms, by Kane Parsons. And I just wanted to put a couple of my characters in the backrooms for fun. Hopefully they don't find anything malicious while they're in there. Even more important, hopefully they find some way to get out of there.

Christmas 2024

Phew! Well, this was a big effort that took over a week to put together. I unfortunately got it submitted to Twitter/X and BlueSky a little late. But here is my Holiday drawing for Christmas 2024!

I wanted to include as many of my friends as I could in this drawing as I have in years past. Unfortunately, I only really had time for flat coloring. But hopefully things turned out well regardless.

From left to right we have a massive "noodle" dragon named Batto. This was my Secret Santa gift on Discord this year. It honestly looks like he might be able to swoop around and engulf the entire group here.

The blue canine-like characters are Sketch Tucker and Heather Britannia. Anyone that follows me knows that I'm a big fan of these guys. I'm not sure what kinda silly pose they've got going on. But it seems like Sketch wanted to be a bit funny and perform a dip with Heather holding him up. It's sort of symbolic in a way. Despite Sketch being the stronger of the two, I feel like Heather is like his rock. The love of his life that keeps him moving.

Then we have my characters, the main cast of Fix-It Cat. Collin LiBee is adorned in his Santa suit this year, again. With his friends, Maria and Milo Waite there to support him.

To the right of them, we have Jessi Schaefer and Jesse. They seem to be conversing about something. Possibly about the time Jesse visited Jessi at her home town.

Next up we have Cooper the Husky riding on top of Kottarooi. Given that Kottarooi is based on Louie from Bomberman, I can see them doing something like this from time to time. Those two are basically like inseparable brothers.

From there we see that ever mysterious character named Lytzyv. I'm not entire sure what's going on in his head at the moment. I believe he may be looking for something. But I'm not sure what.

And speaking of other mysterious characters, next to Lytzyv is the silent protagonist of GatoSlip. The Undertale inspired Sonic The Hedgehog Sega MegaDrive/Genesis hack. I think he needs a bath.

And at the right end is Ramune the protogen, and beside him is Roocan the raccoon, who also appears to be sporting a Santa suit for the occasion. Although, I think he might be worried that he might have knocked Ramune's arm off. Oh well, it's a modular part that can be reassembled if needed. I know Collin can get his toolkit out a little later to fix him.

I hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas this year, or whichever holiday you celebrate. Despite things being chaotic this year, it's always good to have a bit of fun.

Summary of Art 2024

It's that time of year again! Time for the annual Summary of Art for 2024!

Like last year, I was unable to complete a full calendar year of drawings. Mainly because I had travel and work projects between the months of September and October. So I put my own little creative spin on this again. Highlighting some of my favorite drawings throughout the year.

When We Were Young

"That's 10 games in a row now, Milo! How the heck are you so good at this already?! My mom just bought us this game yesterday!" Collin yelled as "P1 Wins" flashed across the screen.

Milo chuckled for a moment. He replied "I don't know. But kicking your butt at this is a lot of fun." Milo pointed at the pizza box to the right of Collin and asked "Hey, can you hand me a slice of pizza for before we start the next game?"

=============================

This is a drawing I've been spending several days on. I've been wanting to put together a drawing that encompasses that feeling of how groups of friends used to meet up to play games back in the 1990s. It's gatherings like this that I have very fond memories of. It's kinda funny to me though, our parents always used to think we were wasting our time doing stuff like this. As it turned out, it was actually somewhat beneficial to our mental health. Nowadays, these kinds of gatherings are taking place less and less frequently, which I find to be a shame.

For this drawing, I essentially tried to put together a typical 80s/90's style basement. The kind with wood paneling, and an old couch. And for some reason, there was always a TV in there that was too far away from the couch to be able to actually sit on it while playing video games. That always kinda hurt my back to sit on the floor for a prolonged period.

In any case, we have Collin LiBee and Milo Waite as children having a bit of a prolonged gaming session of their own. I'm assuming this is on a weekend, cause I'm sure their parents never let them play games like this on a school night. Collin's having a bit of a rough time trying to keep up with with Milo. This is a trait Milo has based on something my brother has the ability to do. Pick up any video game and instantly master it.

And of course, what 90's gaming session would be complete without snacks? So we've got some pizza, a can of generic cola, and a bag of CheeZos? Yeah, I was just trying to avoid copyright infringement on that one, but decided I'd have some fun trying to recreate the look of an old bag of corn chips.

Oh, and as for who's house this is? Its Collin's parent's house.

Milo Likes to Draw

This is a small test drawing I did with a drawing app called Krita. Honestly, I hadn't heard about it before inquiring about drawing applications on Twitter/X. But it was suggested to me, and I thought I'd give it a try.

Just for fun, it's my artist / gamer character, Milo Waite. Who seems to be having some fun making his own drawing from the other side of this one.

Fix-It Cat - I.T. Zoomies

It seems Milo encountered some kind of problem on his computer trying to print an important document. Luckily his roommate, Collin, knows all there is to know about fixing such problems. Now if he could just give a little warning next time. Just like a cat to get the zoomies.

A remake of my very first Fix-It Cat comic. The other day I posted the first Fix-It Cat comic to Twitter/X. The first comic was made in April of 2010, and my art style has come a very long way since then. So much so that it got me wanting to try remaking the first comic as a bit of a practice run to try and get this comic series up and running again since I haven't made one of these since 2016
