happy weird clothes summer to all those who celebrate.

a simple pencil drawing of 4 figures with a watercolor wash spanning from spring green to dark blue. the first outfit consists of a long sleeveless cardigan with a pinstripe button-down underneath. the second features a cardigan with aggressively draping sleeves over overalls with cuffed hems, the figure wearing browline glasses and a short ponytail. the third is wearing a poncho where the front is tucked into belted pants and the back flows behind them like a cape. this figure has their arm up to support a cat perched on their shoulder. the last one is wearing a bomber jacket and a sweater vest with a shaggy, longer haircut and glasses. they are looking at a phone.

heaven knows the story that we've born from our hearts, of the shadows cutting deep and the heroes that save us. #deltarune #deltarunefanart

a drawing of susie, kris, and ralsei from the game deltarune in front of stained glass windows that depict themselves in the prophecy. susie sits contemplatively holding her axe in front of a window that shows her clutching her heart and looking to a dark starburst in the sky. kris clenches their fist while gazing down at their sword in front of a window where they float with their soul displayed in a cage-styled chestplate that eminates streams of light. ralsei is holding the brim of his hat up to his face in distress in front of a window that shows him surrounded by magic flames floating above darkness. the windows cast a brilliant, harsh light that has an oppressive, silhouetting effect on the figures. their forms are encased in the projections of the windows on the ground.

mary, did you know? that your womb was also a grave? #conclave

a drawing of vincent benítez resting in sister agnes's office from the movie conclave while lawrence and bellini debate his legitimacy. just above benítez's head is a window that bathes the scene in harsh but warm light. his head is encircled in a halo that cuts through the shroud while he clutches a rosary and slouches on a bench. to the right, in front of the door to the glass barrier, lawrence examines some papers while bellini speaks to him in a determined manner. just outside the entrance to the room, o'malley and another figure weigh in from the doorway.

when god sings with his creations, will a turtle not be part of the choir? #conclave

a drawing of cardinal benítez at the turtle fountain from the movie conclave with lawrence, bellini, sabbadin, and tedesco in tow. benítez returns a turtle to the ground where a light eminates from his touch. lawrence is carrying a turtle thoughtfully towards the fountain while bellini follows with a confused, hopeful expression. sabbadin gently regards a large and small turtle walking beside him. tedesco is standing out of line with the others, looking away while vaping. a small turtle looks up at him. the scene is in early daylight, with direct, bright yellow light sharply illuminating the scene from the right.

bury me in my arms, i’m home, i’m home.

a delicately drawn blue-green rainbow pencil illustration of a man with his arms awkwardly folded over his face. the palms of his hands are facing up and his face is nestled where his arms intersect. his eyes are closed.

alistair inkwell @al-inkwell.bsky.social · 01/04/2025

i saw you. you’re made of stardust.

a luminous gouache and pencil drawing of a girl looking at a bright blue night sky. the girl has tinsel in her hair and is wearing a bright pink star earring with a blue-green windbreaker and bright pink converse sneakers. she has freckles and dark brown hair. the shooting stars in the sky consist of running figures who leave white trails behind them. there is bright pink text at the bottom of the picture in a square and spacey font that says “starburst” with a star next to it.

new year gnome year that's what i always say

a colored pencil drawing of a gnome holding a circular lantern. his body is made up of leaves, and a few of them are falling off in the wind. a bulbous nose protrudes from under a large pointy hat with a tassel on top. he is also wearing red and green plaid mittens and black pointy boots.

IT IS THAT TIME OF THE YEAR where i change all of my images on social media see you next time when i am.... 24...

A grayscale drawing that is a top-down view of a guy sleeping in a sea blue checked bed. the bed is covered in plushies and he is cradling 2 in his arm. the bed is in the corner of the room with a window next to it streaming faint light through shutter blinds. where the two walls meet, plushies of jake the dog and bmo from adventure time sit. there is a laptop at the person's feet with the krita and firealpaca icons in a speech bubble pointing to it. an ipad resting on a chair pillow has the procreate icon. a playdate is charging next to a long ermine plushie with a handkerchief, a chapstick, and an airpods case. an icon of a katana is next to the playdate. an iphone is resting next to the person with a speech bubble that says:
NOW PLAYING~
Good Kid - Louie Zong - Vansire - Noah Kahan - Tottomori - Willis - Alex G - José Gonzáles

there is white text on the left side of the image in a black box that says:

in a conversation about taxes my father just told me, very lightheartedly, that "if it weren't for trump, [he'd] be much more conservative." i've never been more certain in my life that the only "conservatives" in the world are demons and idiots who think they are safe.

and because you're special here's a little something i haven't posted anywhere else ✨

an animation reference sheet of a girl with fluffy white hair and pink eyes. her hair is partially tied up with blue and pink beaded hair ties in two criss-cross space buns. she is wearing blue crystal spherical earrings with little pink diamond charms at the bottom and circular glasses that attach to the sides with diamond shapes that match the colors of her hearing aids behind her ears. she is also wearing a golden glasses chain with little pink and blue beads used throughout. in the turnaround she is wearing a round blue and pink dress that ends in a white gradient with a cropped blue sweatshirt over it. on her back is a jetpack with transparent liquid visible inside. there are ribbons tied to the beginning of both handles. in the bottom right there is a map of her eye makeup, which consists of a dark pink circle in the corner and blue eyeshadow, which shimmers yellow when she closes her eyes.

well hello. i am here now due to twitter's newly announced ai data scraping. i draw things. less now than i used to now that i'm working on something long and animated. but i will continue to make things slowly and happily no matter how many people want to destroy that.

blue, yellow, and light red textboxes surround a frame-by-frame progression of me tripping and falling. each figure is dressed differently, with dark brown hair and blue eyes. the first is wearing a yellow sweatshirt and maroon overalls with blue glasses and a gray baseball cap. the second is wearing a loud blue and yellow coat with a white collared shirt and pink sunglasses. the third is wearing a tan overcoat that has a pin on the collar with a dark red sweatshirt. the fourth has a large blue sweater with yellow lines and sparkles that move down very pronounced sleeves. this figure has a yellow streak in his hair. the last one is wearing a brown-red vest and a dark jacket with yellow sparkles that increase in frequency and size towards the bottom of the jacket. all of the figures are highlighted with alternating blue, pink, and yellow drop shadows.

the text says, from left to right and top to bottom:
MEET THE ARTIST 2023 alistair inkwell “ink” | 22 | he/him | eng/fr/pt designer | illustrator | “animator” @al_inkwell changes - graduated, moved - duolingo user - i cut my own hair - cooler, newer job - i make minecraft fan art now - wearing progressively weirder clothes (only god can stop me) now playing vansire good kid louie zong chypho

a poster of curly from the game mouthwashing. his head is completely bandaged except for his mouth and left eye, which is bright blue and looking slightly downwards. the mouth is completely exposed, and his teeth are peg-like. wonky lines surround his head and fade near the bottom where the text “MOUTHWASHING” is stamped 3 times overlapping itself, dripping towards the bottom of the image.

a pencil drawing on flecked paper of an apartment at an isometric angle. various objects and furniture in the apartment are shaded green and orange. the floorplan is framed by ironwork-style corners that have starburst cutouts where the frame is thicker. on the left a leafy plant with flecks is growing through the lower corner, and on the right an ivy plant is winding through both right corners. in the upper left stylized text at a slant reads "GREETINGS FROM THE ENCLOSURE."

a bright autumnal brush pen/watercolor drawing of wirt from over the garden wall playing the clarinet while sitting on a hefty tree with bright orange leaves. beatrice the bluebird is facing him, sitting on a sprawl of pumpkins climbing up a root. greg is lying down nearby on the ground, smiling and stacking rocks with the frog. in the negative space is light orange text that says “happy 10 otgw.”
