Long time ago, I started work on a Final Fantasy fan game that stars the staple summons as its main cast, acting as an origin story for how they became such legendary, mighty forces. Drafted up a new design for my version of Bahamut, who would be a young prince in the story. Colored/uncolored+WIPs.

So I finally got these down. I gotta draw Boaz (the minotaur) more often, I swear. Or just draw more often, period. Bluh. Have a peppy bundle of scales and a cocky mountain of beef. Get it. 'Cause he's a minotaur. And they're like bulls. And beef comes from...Okay. I'll stop.

Actually made this earlier this week, but kinda sat on it because I wanted to make some similarly-styled busts for Boaz and Lex. Then I failed to draw them well at all over the following couple days and I just post this and come back to the others later. Have a big dour shark.

Was supposed to be working on a stupid gag for a video, made it too complicated for its own good, got overwhelmed, and just doodled Lex's adoptive papa, Kustos. Colors are messy but I am tired. Have big elder derg.

Trying my hand at animation again. Going for something a little more...well, more, I guess.This is only about 10% of the whole thing. Might post more WIPs, or might just wait until the whole thing's done. I dunno. I'm going to bed.

Skoops @skoops.bsky.social · 29/05/2026

I've not drawn much of anything this year. Been feeling a lot of things lately and I think I needed something a little more sombre. As usual, Ajax is my go-to OC for moody pieces. ...I should draw him in a happy piece for a change.

Ajax, a massive shark, as seen from a far above. He stands alone in a black void, casting an inverted shadow along the dark backdrop. He lacks any color and has his head tilted down toward the "ground" solemnly.

Skoops @skoops.bsky.social · 30/11/2025

It is finally done! Sadly I won't be able to use the full-length animation for its intended purpose, but I at least won't have to cut out much; I'm glad I made the whole thing, regardless. Will share the first video when it's finished, which will hopefully not take more than another day or two.

Skoops @skoops.bsky.social · 16/11/2025

Was trying out my new drawing tablet tonight (Did I mention my old one went kaput? It went kaput) and doodled up my favorite Sonic character. Not planning to polish or finish it, but have a Vector.

Vector the Crocodile, in a wide stance, punching his left fist into his right palm toughly as he looks to the right at something off-screen.

Skoops @skoops.bsky.social · 31/10/2025

Progress on my animation! Still figuring out how quickly I want everything to move, but I'll finalize everything after I get the colors done. For now, this is just a cleaned up and polished version of what I posted before.

Skoops @skoops.bsky.social · 27/10/2025

I spent far too much time working on this mock animation. Planning to polish this up for use in a new project for my YouTube channel. Figured I'd share the WIP in the meantime. Definitely gonna have to revise some of the frame duration, but otherwise I'm happy with it. Now I go to sleep. Goodnight.

Skoops @skoops.bsky.social · 22/09/2025

Was talking with a friend about rule 34 of cartoony mascots for things like breakfast cereals (don't ask) and I made an off-hand remark about how much of a challenge it would be to mascot-ify one of my characters. I have striped my shark of his dignity and I feel ashamed. But also I have no regrets.

Skoops @skoops.bsky.social · 29/07/2025

Lineart and final version of the earlier Ajax sketch. Tried some new things. Didn't quite work, but that's okay. I am satisfied enough with how this one turned out.

Line art of Ajax, a large, muscular great white shark with his arms spread and legs bent in a floating position as his head is tilted back to look up at what is above him off-canvas.

Ajax, a large, muscular great white shark, floating underwater. His arms are spread and his legs are bent as if he has just stopped swimming and has begun to drift slowly. His head is tilted up as he looks toward the water's surface. Bright light filters down through the water and casts most of Ajax's body in dark shadows as he floats above the viewer.

Skoops @skoops.bsky.social · 27/07/2025

More Ajax. Pretty sure shark week already ended, but this was a little more purposeful. Not sure if I'll come back to finish this one, but it felt good to get this one out of my system. It's been...a week. I am okay, but just had a lot on my mind, and it's been overwhelming. But I will carry on.

010

Skoops @skoops.bsky.social · 22/07/2025

This started out as just practice for another Ajax picture and quickly devolved into just vent art. Despite Ajax being a gentle soul, he does have a lot of bitterness, frustration, and rage pent up, and I guess I accidentally tapped into that connection I have with him tonight. May delete later.

020

Skoops @skoops.bsky.social · 22/07/2025

Heard someone mention it being Shark Week at work yesterday and felt somewhat obligated to at least try and draw Ajax again. Kinda lost my spark partway through coloring and not really happy with it, but maybe I'll try another sketch later in the week. (I probably won't)

Fanart for #RainCheckVN by @radstudiosfvn.bsky.social . I stayed up far too late last night working on this, but I think it was a good experience. Love Slate and hope to learn more about him and his goals in future builds of the game. (I love the main cast, too, but I have obvious biases >_>)

Slate, a very large alligator, leans proudly onto the hood of a huge semi truck, clutching a wrench in his left hand. The sky is littered with thick clouds and the ground is covered in puddles from the recent rain.

WIP fanart for a furry visual novel called "Rain Check." This big gator is the only reason this game even popped up on my radar almost a year ago, and he's easily my favorite non-main character. (Though he doesn't show up until late into the current build) Will hopefully finish this up soon.

Skoops @skoops.bsky.social · 25/03/2025

Does remaking an old picture count as making something for Macro March? Eh, have a Druddy, in both giant and ambiguous sizes depending on your preference. Also I spent almost 12 straight hours working on this and I need to go to bed. Goodnight.

A giant Druddigon lumbers down a city street, waving happily at the people it passes, while the citizens give him varying degrees of attention.

A very happy Druddigon waving at something behind it as it walks.

Skoops @skoops.bsky.social · 14/03/2025

Meant to draw Ajax, my shark, but I couldn't seem to get anything together, so I gave up and did something else. @teodyssey.bsky.social had asked me if I'd ever drawn Lex as a Warrior (Specifically the Warrior of Light from Final Fantasy), but Lex is really more of the support type, like a Bard.

000

Skoops @skoops.bsky.social · 11/02/2025

I should not still be awake, but I wanted to finish making this. I don't normally post these since I use these graphics in some of my YouTube videos, but I don't see myself using this one very often, so I figured I may as well post it in case I never implement it otherwise. Have a think-thunk Lex.

Skoops @skoops.bsky.social · 07/01/2025

Been in a bit of a funk for the past week or so and haven't been able to really get anything to stick when it comes to drawing. Made myself make something tonight, though. Thanks to @teodyssey.bsky.social for the inspiration. Don't ask me what this style is supposed to be, because I got nothin'.

020

Skoops @skoops.bsky.social · 29/10/2024

I wasn't going to post this anywhere at first, but I figured it would be okay here. This was meant to be just a sketch as practice for something else, but alas. Thank you, @dragoneer.bsky.social , for everything. I'm sorry to be so late, and not being able to really thank you for real.

Skoops @skoops.bsky.social · 20/10/2024

Meant to get these done in time for Super Mario Party Jamboree's release, but I didn't. But have my big 3 OCs dressed up in Mario Party 2-themed costumes. (I don't actually like MP2 all that much but the costume gimmick is very charming)

010

Skoops @skoops.bsky.social · 15/10/2024

I am making myself post this here just in case I look at it tomorrow and suddenly decide that I hate it and don't want to finish it anymore. If you guess the reference, you win...me telling you that you got the reference or something. I dunno. Goodnight.

Skoops @skoops.bsky.social · 07/09/2024

Was trying to stir up art energy while a friend was drawing and eventually decided I wanted to draw a soft boy. I should not have stayed up until 8am working on this. But have a hefty reptile pal.

Skoops @skoops.bsky.social · 12/08/2024

Completely destroying the tone, I realized pretty much immediately after I turned my computer off that I goofed on my own character design. I fixed it up this morning, but had no internet until just a little while ago. Here's the fixed version for anyone who noticed.

Skoops @skoops.bsky.social · 12/08/2024

To everyone who has been here for me and with me: Thank you. As horrid as this world can be, thank you for being the life-saving gleams in the darkest of voids. That I might reflect even a fraction of your light back unto you and others, that is all I can ask for.

A couple friends of mine started randomly assigning each other a Pokémon to draw via roulette. I got Thievul. Might do more of these in the future. Also Thievul is surprisingly fun to draw. (Make sure your local sausages are secured before it's too late)

Skoops @skoops.bsky.social · 12/12/2023

I've been wanting to draw a big, bulky Zekrom for a while. That's all, really. Anatomy came out kinda weird but I've already decided this is done.

Skoops @skoops.bsky.social · 22/10/2023

I was going through Black 2/White 2's OST the other night and got both very tired and also inspired to draw Druddigon. Then stayed up late tonight going through Dragon Quest III's Super Famicom OST and decided to color the doodles. Have Druddy in all-new sleepy and hunky flavors while supplies last.
