Samus is back and she's hungrier than ever #Nintendo #Metroid #MetroidRavenous

Calvin And Hobbies @calvinandhobbys.bsky.social · 09/09/2026

It is an incredibly nice feeling that the Metroid series is out of the slump where every new game had to be the one to save the franchise or catch up on plot threads started on the GameBoy Advanced or Wii. Now we can just have a fun story of a hungry girl getting jumped by the Hat Men.

Gotta love how after all these years Zelda still manages to annoy people with its art direction

Look. I’m going to get this day one. It’s the game that got me into Godzilla. But it is doing what I feared and being overly faithful to the original game at the expense of the roster being the smallest one in the series. Each game after had the original roster plus more.

“12 Kaiju totally remastered” from the Destroy All Monsters Melee Remastered trailer.

Godzilla Save the Earth’s character select screen featuring 18 characters.

Godzilla Unleashed’s character select screen featuring 26 monsters.

Happy 40th Anniversary to one of my favorite video game series, Metroid. And happy 40th to the legendary bounty hunter of the Metroid series, Samus Aran. Figured the occasion could use a more interesting, watercolor-y drawing from me than my usual style. #TheSketchySummer 2026 (Day 56)

A watercolor-y drawing of a bust of Samus, looking intently as she draws up her arm cannon.

Beyond the silliness of 6 hours of trailer exclusivity rights to Netflix, I noticed that they don’t mention this “extended look” being for gameplay anywhere… Would be very funny if we get within three months of launch of this thing without ever seeing a HUD or menu.

I’ve drawn Coriander already this summer, but sometimes you just want to practice your line work with a familiar face (A face that does keep shifting every time you draw it.) #TheSketchySummer 2026 (Day 54)

Coriander standing in front of a nebula, smiling.

A princess of a kingdom of tech and her loyal knight. Original characters I have a vague story in mind for. #TheSketchySummer 2026 (Day 52)

A princess with a tech inspired dress in front of a super imposed knight looking solemn with her dyed hair drifting in front of her face.

Doing some concept work of a space ship with some personality, almost like it has a face. Showing the other iterations of the idea above it. #TheSketchySummer 2026 (Day 48)

A space ship with details like cannons and vents to look like a face.

Catching up on drawing after accidentally taking a 12 hour nap yesterday (Post an insomnia night of 1 hour of sleep.) SO! Quick sketches. That’s what I got. #TheSketchySummer 2026 (Day 47)

Calvin And Hobbies @calvinandhobbys.bsky.social · 25/07/2026

Art… FIIIIIIIGHT!!! Here we have I.C.C.O.N. by “Gexfan94.” I enjoy how much personality you can get out of a character without a face. #TheSketchySummer 2026 (Day 46)

A robotic character with a bow hand and holding a hammer.

Alright, back to the art. Here’s a warrior. VERY much inspired by a certain vampire killer. #TheSketchySummer 2026 (Day 45)

A barbarian-inspired character with platform boots.

So. Haven’t posted a drawing in a bit. My job has shifted me around to a different position that has left me with less free time and less energy at the end of the day, hence less drawings. I need to get back to animating and we are entering GMTK Game Jam week, so I may call the past week a wash.

I wanted to have a bit more to show for today, but hopefully the start of me setting up blockings is enough for now. The Pen Sword Adventures Episode 5 is back in development! #TheSketchySummer 2026 (Day 44)

Basic 3D renders of the O'Leddy and Robo-Frog models placed next to a box.

This is “Noah Strykr” by luckyno_19. She’s an ex-tactician on a mission to continue her missing father’s research. I took some creative liberties and drew what I figured an evening of intense planning looks like for her! #ArtFight #TheSketchySummer 2026 (Day 41)

An Aasimar (fantasy humanoid with wings growing out of their head) overlooking a map illuminated by an overhead light.

More. Art. FIGHT! Here we have “Zarya” by Claesical. I think she speaks for herself. Or at least, her fists do. #TheSketchySummer 2026 (Day 40)

A large, muscular warrior thrusting her fist into the air.

New Art Fight! This time we have “Iskra” by unrealwitch (@unrealwitch.bsky.social)! Described on her page as an actress, model, comedian, and aircraft pilot, I picture her as a darling of Hollywood at every premiere and festival she attends. #ArtFight #TheSketchySummer 2026 (Day 39)

A stylish woman with horns, a tail, and glowing skin, dressed up in a fancy orange dress, posing silly on a red carpet.

More Art Fighting! This time we COWER before Stephen: The Dark Lord, by BZRich64. I felt a kindred spirit here, as this character has a lot of outfit choices and design details that I like to include in my characters. #ArtFight #TheSketchySummer 2026 (Day 38)

A man in a cape with a skeleton hand and a partially exposed skull, reaching out toward the camera.

New attack against “Aqua” by BL00DY_IC3CR3AM13! This was a fun, musically-inclined character to draw. #ArtFight #TheSketchySummer 2026 (Day 37)

A character listening to music on their headphones, wagging their finger to the beat.

This is Juniper by yvanille! She’s got an orca tail, leather boots, and lots of homemade jewelry made from her ocean finds. Stylish! #ArtFight #TheSketchySummer 2026 (Day 35)

First Art Fight of the year! This is Vivian Silva by mydearestpearl on Art Fight. Her description mentioned she used non-lethal rounds to pass her “entrance exam” which I thought was a cool detail. I just had to draw her doing that one-handed ammo check thing. #TheSketchySummer 2026 (Day 33)

A purple haired character with a spiderweb tattoo below her eye and wearing lots of leather and belts. She’s holding back the slide of her gun to check the ammo.

Pride Month isn’t over until I, the straight CIS boy, say it’s over!!! (Or until I get one more delayed drawing posted that would have came out in June if I was better at time management.) … Anyway, here’s my characters Opal the Orc and Lenna the Elf gay embracing. #TheSketchySummer 2026 (Day 30)

The tall orc Opal holding and caressing the face of Lenna the elf. The two are looking deeply in love with each other while moodily lit.

Curious about my curious drawings this month? Here’s what I was working on: A custom-made board game for my girlfriend and I’s 5th anniversary! It’s a drawing game with special cards that give suggestions on what to draw. We played over the weekend and she loved it! #TheSketchySummer 2026 (Day 26)

A boxed board game called “Sydney & Calvin: 5th Anniversary Edition”

The board game fully out, with the board, character cards, dice, draw cards, player pawns, and battle tokens

Bit of a delay in Sketchy Summer drawings the last few days. There’s a good reason for it, which I will explain probably at the end of the weekend. For now, let’s just dance through it. #TheSketchySummer 2026 (Day 25)
