I was writing out KRAKEN under this little fella on the calendar at work and it just looked too much like the Friends logo not to lean in.

KRAKENS written in a Friends-adjancent font under the character from EarthBound of the same name. Lyrics were added in a desperate attempt at humor: "so no one told you it was gonna win this wayyy"

Had to borrow a friend's gamecube since I'm pretty sure mine has a dead laser. You can really tell how much more worn out mine is when they're side by side.

Had a lot of fun paining this guy and used a few new techniques that ended up working out really well imo.

Ok, maybe just one ^^;. I don't think the Living Armor Soup will get any changes. It's a hot and sour egg drop soup with tofu and cooked oyster meat, topped with a raw oyster on the half shell to emulate the armor plating. 🦪
