uwus your war criminal
been doing some speedy practice sketches lately to get various characters down a bit better, have a scribble of ricky at thirteen or so that turned out alright. he's babey your honor protect him
so recently i decided to roll the 'what will my human!pericles look like This Time' roulette again, only this time in color for once! it's always itched at me how his design looks like a totally different person before and after the timeskip, having been through the wringer aside, so i thought i'd take a shot at combining my interpretation of the two. (the creators pretty obviously took cues from his voice actor for his present-day design, and it's been fun to draw on that too while still keeping the design my own.)
i mostly like how it's turned out, as far into it as i managed to get before i had to take a break and my executive function stalled out; i kept putting off posting it, meaning to come back and finish it later, but i finally decided to go ah fuck it i'd rather it be out there unfinished than disappear into my sketch folder forever. or get fucked up by my trying to continue it while Not in the Groove, especially given how difficult the painting tools i've got available are to wrangle with. Sometimes You Just Gotta Call It
there's a lot of things i'm eyeing to hammer out more next time--i can never seem to figure out what the hell to do with his hair, for one; for another they did a great job at getting across 'babyface that has become aged/haggard' with his designs, and that balance can be difficult to nail when the art app i use really brings out the Everyone is Soft and Babyface in my artstyle. it's a real bastard, but i liked drawing him with this brush a lot and i'm looking forward to working it out more if i can.
the upshot of this is Lo, Cunty Grandpa Be Upon Ye

You've got a bright future ahead of you, said his mother to his small self, stroking his hair with tired, gentle pride. He remembers that.
These kids will have no future, bright or otherwise, thanks to him. Oh, god, he wants to say forever, I'm so sorry. But he won't get forever, and neither will they.
Five minutes, though. He picks up the sword, testing its weight in his hands. He can give them that much.
So I've been trying for a long time to figure out a good, simple way to substitute dice for a deck of playing cards. I made this primarily for the sake of accessibility--I am disabled in such a way that I can't use physical cards, and it is much, much harder to find good offline digital card decks than dice rollers--but I'm hoping it will also be useful for people who don't have playing cards on hand or space to use them.

You will need:
A d10 and d6.
Preferably a way to record which cards you've drawn to which pile.
How to draw a card:
You will be rolling from 1 of 9 tables; the d10 is your table die, and the d6 is your result die. If you roll a 10 on the table die, reroll.
If playing without jokers, reroll on a 5-6 result from Table 9. If playing with jokers, roll normally.
The default order of suits is Spades, Hearts, Diamonds, and Clubs, though you may change this if you want.
The order of numbered cards is Ace to King for each suit, followed by the black joker and red joker.
Roll 1d10 and 1d6.

Methods to efficiently keep track of a deck are another story, and will be one of my next projects, but for now have this in case it's helpful to you. Enjoy!
to be expanded on: animal crossing vibes over the mountain horror hack where you have to keep the neighbors alive and uncorrupted for as long as possible, without telling them what's going on

The woods are lovely, dark, and deep, thinks Pericles, as the withered forest around him claws at the smog-filled sky. It had been one of Ricky's favorite poems once. It must have served him well to forget.
writing exercise i have decided to start doing, since it's much easier for me to set writing goals based on sentences than on word counts: the 1d10 challenge. just roll 1d10 and write that many sentences on your WIP of choice for the day. if you feel like you're not tapped out afterward, but you don't want to keep going without a goal, roll 1d10 again. rinse and repeat until you decide you're done for today. you're welcome
