Last night's spooky videogame (because apparently I can't wait for October) was DeCap Attack; which I completed with no lives lost! Anywho I drew the protagonist of that game, Chuck D. Head! 💀

Monochrome line-drawing of Chuck D. Head from the SEGA Megadrive game DeCap Attack. He's giving a thumbs up! What a (dead) guy!

To celebrate my finally defeating arcade Ghouls 'n' Ghosts yesterday, I drew this in my sketchbook. Stage 3-2, my nemesis and frequent run-killer. #ghoulsnghosts #daimakaimura #retrogames #arcadegames #capcom #illustration

A poor-quality photo of a monochrome drawing depicting a scene from the arcade game Ghouls 'n' Ghosts as its protagonist Arthur, clad only in his heart-patterned briefs, jumps from the tongue of a giant gargoyle statue amidst a misty mountain range set against a blackened night sky.

Had like the dozenth re-watch of Enter The Florpus tonight. Also, I drew this. #invaderzim #dib #professormembrane

Sketchbook double-spread with a monochrome comic-style drawing of Professor Membrane consoling his son Dib, kinda, saying "wishing isn't very scientific, son...". This is a scene from the feature-length Invader Zim: Enter the Florpus.

So I don't draw much lately, but here. I dun drawed a ZIM today. 👽

A coloured marker-and-pen drawing of Zim, from Invader Zim. He's just standing there. I don't know what else to say. I like cheese more than a sane person would.

Don't worry, I still draw. Making horrible music hasn't *completely* consumed my life. Yet. ;)

Open sketchbook, portrait orientation, with a monochrome comic panel-style drawing of Sonic the Hedgehog, leaping toward the viewer with a pointed finger out and exclaiming "YEAH! THIS IS HAPPENIN'!"

Thinking about it further, was inspired to make my own list (I'm from the UK so these are PAL titles, all of which I played in their day - and still do now thanks to my Saroo)

A nerd made their list of ten favourite SEGA Saturn games:

1) Sonic R
2) Night Warriors
3) SEGA Rally
4) Exhumed
5) Street Fighter Alpha 2
6) Panzer Dragoon Zwei
7) Fighting Vipers
8) NiGHTS: Into Dreams
9) Darius Gaiden
10) Virtua Fighter 2

Might've drawn my inner monster and occasionally used it for profile pics here and there.

Blue line-drawing of the first boss to the SEGA game Wonder Boy in Monster Land; a little cutesy grim-reaper type monster.

Reckon the first song I'm releasing from my industrial music project [love.self.hate] is going to be 'Fakes'. #industrialmusic #unsigned #motherfuckinghashtags

[love.self.hate] @loveselfhate.bsky.social · 28/07/2026

Today marks the halfway point of project: finally getting my ass into gear and making my industrial music project a thing. Four songs. Half the planned album. Here's a snippet of [love.self.hate] #industrialmusic

Went out, touched grass, whatever -- I MADE A BUG FRIEND. 🐞 💜

Photograph of somebody (face obscured) with their arms folded and leg toward the camera showing a ladybug crawling on the leg of their jeans; this is in focus, the rest of the image not so. This person, who is me, is wearing a shirt that reads "HONK".

SEGA Master System manuals sure were a mood. As such, they inspired a sketchbook page of mine a couple years back (from the prequel to this game, actually):

Sketchbook double-page spread featuring some blue-ink drawings of various enemy creatures (and a potion bottle) from Wonder Boy in Monster Land on SEGA Master system.

Captioned "These pages brought to you by: nostalgia for SEGA Master System instruction manuals."

Went on a picnic today with friends (oh hey, touched grass!) and drew this during a conversation. Not my best work, but then I *was* multitasking. Himb a go nuts when rat-daddy is hurt. :( #tmnt #raphael #tmntraphael #monochrome #comics #sketchbook #doodle

Sketchbook page; turned sideways to landscape orientation; with a monochrome comic panel of Raphael from Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, throwing his arms out wide and yelling "MASTER SPLINTER!".

This is based loosely on a scene from the 1990 live action TMNT movie. I saw squirrels today.

Every now and then I check in on the platform game I made by drawing stuff on paper, NekoNecro. Found this review from January, it makes me happy. (game's here BTW: store.steampowered.com/app/2096580/...)

Steam review of a recommended game (5.9 hours on record) reading "if Jhonen Vasquez/Jamie smart made a 2d platformer, meant in the best way"

Three-panel (loosely) comic of a yelling person, on the right their diatribe talk balloon dominating most of the space and obscuring panel borders:

[love.self.hate] @loveselfhate.bsky.social · 21/06/2026

Tripped and fell, ended up buying a new book of short stories today purely based on the description of the first one from a friend last night. Anyway, I drew that first story.

Sketchbook page with a monochrome comic panel-style illustration depicting a young woman staring down at a toilet; from which an amorphous slimy, slightly-hairy blob with a poorly-developed face is looking up and saying "MOTHER."

Lemme dig out a couple other concept pieces for this thing that's been living in my mind for years now.

Sketchbook double-page spread with a coloured drawing depicting stylised housing built into giant mushrooms; a rope-and-plank bridge stretched between two of them and a rope ladder draped off the walkway surrounding another which also has a chimney of sorts.

Comic I started last night, based on a conversation during my partner and I's weekly grocery shop. I am a cheerful sort. #indycomics #indiecomics #artistsonbluesky

Three-panel monochrome comic.

FIRST PANEL:
POV - you are being stabbed by a spiky-haired madman. Caption boxes read "AW CRAP" and "AH WELL. I GET TO SEE WHAT'S AFTER THIS"

SECOND PANEL:
Completely black panel with caption boxes reading "DEAD.", "BLACKNESS.", "LIGHT AT THE END OF THE TUNNEL?", and "A RECAP OF MY LIFE?"

THIRD PANEL:
Caption boxes reading "HELL?" and "NOPE. WORSE THAN THAT" frame another black panel, but this time with the kind of scrolling "CAST in order of appearance" name list that one would see after a movie has ended.

Okay, so I actually drew something because life has cooled down enough. Please enjoy this Marvin the Paranoid Android. "Life? Don't talk to me about life..." #sketchbook #doodle #hitchhikersguidetothegalaxy #marvin

Tonight's old art upload was inspired by a friend telling me that he liked my TMNT drawings. Well. This one's (still) my favourite that I ever did. 💙 #tmnt #leonardotmnt #fanart #artistsonbluesky #artistsonbsky

Alas, I didn't draw anything for World Goth Day; so have a clean scan of the Jhonen Vasquez/SQUEE! panel redraw I did a couple days ago. 🖤 #jhonenvasquez #squee #artistsonbluesky #artistsonbsky

A monochrome comic panel featuring a pigtail-haired ghost girl in a child's bedroom, saying:

"I've gotta go now. Maybe I'll come back. I do get so lonely. It would be very nice...

...if you died here, too."

It's a redrawn panel from the Jhonen Vasquez comic of olde, SQUEE! - as noted in the original post.

Three-panel comic featuring a figure on a phone. The reader is only privy to this figure's end of the conversation, which is as follows:

Hello? Is that Flint's Crematorium?

Yeah, I'd like to make an appointment.

No, it's not for a relative...

It's for me!

Yes, I know I'm not dead yet!

Kinda hoped you could do that too...

Bastard hung up.

Oshi, I mean, there was THIS from the other night that I drew and forgot to share here. Whoops. It's not funny, just how I felt when I had a couple hours to kill out in town, in the rain, with nobody to call upon for company. Okay, that's hilarious. RIP me lmfao #comics #indiecomics #indycomics

Heavily-inked monochrome comic panel with a black blob-shaped cat sat on a chair, at a desk with a lamp illuminating the scene, thinking to themself "I am so fuckin' lonely".

A late-night Dib. Do you understand that it is hard as HELL to ink with a brush whilst also bopping the head (mine, not Dib's) wildly to industrial bangers? #art #artistsonbluesky #sketchbook #invaderzim

Sketchbook page featuring an angular monochrome ink drawing of Dib from the old, OLD cartoon Invader Zim. It sure is old now. Anyway, Dib is holding his hands up and saying "ALIENS". It's all he ever talks about.
