I am an alchemist!!! Behold my powders! I got a cheap second hand dehydrator. I am doing oranges and tomatoes, but I threw some orange rinds in as well. They got finished quickly so I pulled them out and pulverized them with sugar. I'll try this on tea, toast, and maybe make an orange simple syrup?

A dehydrator rack with orange slices, orange peels, and tomatoes barely visible on the rack below.

A mortar and pestle with a pale yellow powder inside.

A hand holding a small plastic takeout cup containing the yellow powder. There can't be more than 2tbsp of powder in there.

Gotta install shelving and make a few other adjustments but I'm happy with how my new basement workbench area is coming along. It will be much nicer to have a separate area instead of taking up half my office.

A small room with white walls and a plywood floor. It features a gate leg table covered in tool stuff, two peg boards with tools hung up, and some tool boxes on the floor.

A poorly composed photo, but the evening clouds this week have been truly spectacular.

A photo of the evening sky showing a big puffy cumulus clouds washed in peach and plum colours. In the foreground is a construction crane and a brick building.

Came home for a funeral where the dress code was "the colours of her garden." I did my best, but I have a pretty subdued wardrobe.

Dorky looking white guy with a beard and receding hairline giving a thumbs up in a bathroom selfie. Wearing a grey wool jacket, a blue floral print shirt and a powder blue necktie.

Mustered the energy to walk the dog and was treated to the bike-chain sound of katydids! Spotted one taking off and followed it for a picture.

AW HELL YEAH!!! Fucked up stop motion movie night incoming!

Two physical bluray cases: Junk Head and Mad God. The photo is crispy as hell from all the filters I put over it.

Ooh hoo hoo I'm excited for this double feature evening.

A shipping confirmation showing that two blurays are on the way: Mad God and Junkhead.

My brother @cerhendriks.bsky.social showed us the Tolkien exhibit at the Stratford museum. It was great, but the chrome mannequin wearing the Gandalf outfit immediately conjured to mind this excellent meme.

A dummy wearing a gandalf costume. The face is just chrome.

A three panel meme made from screenshots from the Lord of the rings.
Panel 1 shows gandalf standing outside a hobbit hole door with a caption " no thank you. We don't want any more visitors, well-wishers, or distant relations."
Panel 2 shows gandalf's face except it's been replaced with Macho Man Randy Savage's face with a caption saying "What about the cream of the crop?" He's holding a little creamer.
Panel 3 shows Bilbo stepping out the door with the caption"Macho-Mandalf!"

I always really liked that about the warcraft Tauren race. Made fanart for younger me very difficult to figure out because the anatomy was so different.

Digital painting of a minotaur-like figure rushing towards the viewer with a big fantasy battle-axe. The whole thing has a lot of stereotypical native Canadian / Native American vibe. Colour scheme is mostly autumnal orange / brown with blue sky behind.

This animation was wild! Felt very incongruous with the live action stuff, almost Bluth-like. Really cool choice though.

I did think Walker Pidgeon played a very compelling troubled scientist. He had great screen presence. I am not familiar with the actor but he had a lot of gravitas. Hopefully he's not cancelled, I haven't looked into the guy.

Pidgeon playing the role of Dr Morbius, and he looks anguished here.

Pretty cool to see Leslie Nielson in a dramatic role. I know that was his career prior to Airplane, but as a kid born in 88 he was fully a comic actor by the time I became aware of him. I think the connect suits him better.

Leslie Nelson and Anne Francis looking off screen dramatically.

Researching for #fluxgate, tonight I watched Forbidden Planet! What a wild movie for the time. I'm not sure why the poster features Robby carrying Altaira. As far as I recall that never happened in the film. Just an homage to other classic pulp planetary romance I guess.

Trying to come up with some knock-off robot designs for #alloutapocalypse

Some stuff I doodled for an abandoned project. It was gonna be a jungle post apocalypse. I lifted Ogremen from here for my #allout apocalypse game, though I changed them a fair bit.

A giant cyclops with a huge head and a loincloth, labeled "Ogremen". Stands twice the height of a nearby human figure.

A doodle labeled "ruined portal" which depicts a damaged mechanical postal with half-circles suspended from the ceiling and attached to the floor. Bushes have grown nearby. A small flame or something hovers in the air amid the ruins

Some kind of feathery, flower-like creature that stands on two legs and is labeled "outer ones"

Going through an old sketchbook and posting some stuff I don't think I ever posted before.

A pencil drawing of a medieval fantasy peasant house with smoke billowing from the chimney

Some kind of French goblin, maybe? A small black toque and a striped shirt. He looks smug.

A really rough sketch of a bugbear with a club. It's just kinda standing there.

Drew some kind of half-baked uninspired Aragorn / Strider type figure while getting coffee with some former co-workers today. It was supposed to be a "get together and draw" thing, but was mostly a "get together and chat" thing. Still good.

A page from my sketchbook. Two pencil drawings. One of a lanky swordsman type fellow with a hood, cape, sword, and tights. The other is a close up of his face, which is long and gaunt.

It's foggy today because it's so warm. I stopped by the cemetery to take some pictures. It was visibility swirling in places which was pretty amazing to see. These pictures really don't do it any justice.

A photo looking directly down a road in a cemetery. The sky is grey and there's fog low to the ground.

Because it's a space themed party, I bought some little foil packets and packed them with "astronaut rations" which the kids will earn through party games.

An open bin full of little foil packets. The packets have one clear side so you can see what's inside. There are five different snack types: waffle-shaped pretzels, dried apricots, cookies and cream balls, sour blue raspberry candies, and chocolate rocks.

Paint progress on the kiddo's birthday party space ship

A cool as hell white rocketship (kid's sized) with a teal stripe. It has a barrel shaped body, a silver nose cone, two engines tucked against the sides, and three fins. It's sitting in my living room. It looks COOL AS FUCK!!!

Same as last pic, but EVEN COOLER because it's viewed from behind to show the lights from the jet engines and the lights on the dashboard.

Everyone at home is feeling crummy today, but I rescued a neglected onion and feel good about it. Hopefully I can keep it going until spring and move it into the garden.

A blue ceramic pot containing dirt. Onion greens are visible poking through the soil.

My wife pointed out we have a cracked rain barrel that might serve as the body of the ship. It's a bit chunkier than I imagined but I think it might be the move.

A rain barrel lying on its side. It's brown plastic. It's outside next to a house.

A pair of drawings of a rocketship using the barrel silhouette. One drawing is from the side, the other is from the back. It's a bit chubby and barrel-like, like what a classic rocketship silhouette uses, but with the NASA / airplane layout.

I'm now trying to decide if it's something you can sit inside or just like a big sonotube with fins and a cone top. Second is easier and cheaper, but being able to get your picture taken sitting inside would be pretty sick. And honestly, not that complex overall. Basically just sonotube and plywood.

A sketch of a mini space shuttle, kinda like a classic NASA shuttle.

I'm late to the party I'm sure, but I've just discovered these exist and I want to put them on literally everything. My god they're delicious.

The vehicle stats! I like drawing crusty cars.

A page depicting sketches of several vehicles, each with stats and descriptions. The vehicles range from big rigs, to monster trucks, to sedans, motorcycles, and one airplane.

Nick Hendriks @nickdrawthing.bsky.social · 31/12/2025

I wrote a simple adventure outline for testing my vehicle combat rules for All Out Apocalypse and spent some time condensing them onto one page just for fun. I need to write all the vehicle stats still. (If you are a person with plans to test these rules with me soon, maybe don't read all the text)

A page of white printer paper detailing the cast and circumstances of a ttrpg adventure scenario, drawn and written in pencil. It's titled "A BRUSH WITH DEATH."
There are three columns: the members of The Argonauts, The Job (a description of the person being rescued), and Taureau's Gang. At the bottom of the page is a tiny hex map, and some more adventure details.

Reading an article from my hometown newspaper and found this quote. Totoro WOULD say that!

“I think it’s time we throw ourselves in front of the bulldozer,” Totaro said

Ahh, that police bot art is one of my faves!! I always liked the look of the chunky mace it was holding. My copy of "Star Wars - The Essential Guide To Droids" accompanied me on many a long car drive and summer afternoon as a kid (and happened to be within arm's reach on the shelf as I read this).

A page from Star Wars- The Essential Guide To Droids. It shows a cop looking droid pointing menacingly and holding a club with a spiked mace head. The title of the entry says "501-Z POLICE DROID (ZED)"

If you see this, do the thing in the quoted post

Added a few more gnarly roots to the end of the staff and incorporated the screw-on base so we can turn it on and off without the orb falling out all the time. The whole works is gonna get a few coats of sealant once kiddo is happy with the design.

Another couple tattoo designs for that silly outer space game on Discord.

An ink and pencil crayon drawing on a white background. It's a buff arm holding an apple. The arm has a chocolate chip cookie with a bite mark out of it on the bicep. Wrapped around the arm is a big worm who is poking through the apple and winking at the viewer.

An ink and pencil crayon drawing on a white background. It's a military emblem featuring a red chrome skull with robot eyes and vampire teeth screaming, plus a crossed assault rifle and knife. Across the bottom of the emblem are banners reading "ANDROID CORPS" and a little metal plaque reading "307"
