I put many quarters into the Mars Attacks at that place. There was also "Revenge of Pizza (Rawr!)" that used to be on Wednesdays at Giovanni's in Sunnyvale.

For the Americans on my timeline. I’m so envious of Thanksgiving food, it looks incredible. Originally drawn in 2016

For #Warframe 1999, can we get an old school paperback BradyGames guide with info on Warframe in general? That would be a cute (and useful) bit of merch.

Hello all you Twitter refugees! Guess i should post more often given the new followers. Someone asked me earlier "what do you hyperfixate on and not shut up about?" This was my immediate response.

I've now got a couple of angels to balance the couple of demons in my collection. #plush

I haven't looked at BlueSky in months and my feed is full of oddball non-sequitors...it took far too long to realize they were all video posts and I need to update my app.

With everyone morphing into an overly manicured brand satire of themselves and having to market excessively... I miss when ppl would just take an awkward photo of themselves and poorly draw their characters hangin out on their shoulder or whatever and be like fuck it this is me

One problem with being a longtime #FFXIV player who habitually buys collector's boxes is that every alt I make has to dig through a ton of Mog Mails to find the EXP boosting gear.

Don't you hate it when you have a late night, barely get any sleep, and then one of your cats hairballs at the crack of dawn? Now i can't get back to sleep. I swear they do it on purpose.

You ever get an anime theme like, REALLY stuck in your head? Because heck, Mashle season 2 is downright permanently adhered to my brain currently.

A last minute addition to #fursuitFriday; having a blast at "Roar" in Sacramento in Murex, my hyena suit. Party animal!

Dumb Transformers drawing idea that jumped to mind upon getting home from work this evening: what if Ravage had a hairball?

Selfies are hard. I think I need longer arms. Yeah, that must be it.

Got to be my hyena character today and apparently being a purple hyena makes me part of an elite group. Thank you, whoever gave me the pin!

My response to a Discord conversation. It drives me bonkers when "Korobeiniki" is mislabeled as "the Tetris Theme" as it completely ignores "Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairies" (NES Type A), "Kalinka" (Atari arcade/Tengen NES) and "French Suite Number 3 in B Minor" (Gameboy Type C), among others.

Did a bunch of sketches today, including doing some polishing on old unfinished sketches like this one of myself with pigtails. It's even got the old style of bangs!

Been waiting years for this! I'm legit excited.

Tiny (about two inches wide) Post-It note doodle of Murex wrenching on his plane. I want to practice more on drawing the plane at various angles because it's such a mix of weird shapes. Rewatching scenes from Tailspin for reference is rough because there's a ton of badly drawn examples in it.

020

Valden S. Valmont @valdenv.bsky.social · 07/11/2023

Developing a new OC after getting smacked upside the head with inspiration. Are Tailspin 'sonas a thing? Because here's Murex, a hyena sky pirate along with his CT-37 fighter. It's weird seeing the plane looking somewhat realistic (where's the exhaust?) when the source material is so inconsistent.

Sky pirate fighter complete with more realistic pontoons.

While catching up on some TV watching, did some more art practice. Have a silly, smug werewolf and the result of an attempt at some detailed fur texture.

Final day of #Inktober. I know I've missed the last two due to BLFC, but I really wanted to make sure I took the time to cap off this month. Overall I've been very happy drawing again and honestly shocked that somehow I've "still got it." So let's finish the month with something cute: plush Valden!

Valden S. Valmont @valdenv.bsky.social · 31/10/2023

Chilling at the #BLFC pool party for a bit because it's like 40F out and I can finally wear Behemoth without dying!

Day 28 of #inktober: a ground up redesign of a tanuki character of mine. He came outa little fursuity, but that actually works for me. I also drew him too big for the page. Some old habits don't go away.

Valden S. Valmont @valdenv.bsky.social · 27/10/2023

Day 27 of #inktober: the OG #FNAF cast! Guess who might be hyped for the movie coming out today? I wasn't originally intending on making them look unique, but after Freddy came out with "bara daddy energy," all bets were off. I like the softer looking Foxy, personally.

Day 26 of #inktober: Almost Got It... More Fidget. Her wings should be visible at this angle, but i thought they'd be a touch distracting and may goof up the composition.

Valden S. Valmont @valdenv.bsky.social · 25/10/2023

Day 25 of #Inktober: Imminent Snuggles I can't believe I've gotten this far into Inktober and haven't burnt out or gotten entirely distracted yet!

Day 24 of #inktober: A flurry of Fidgets. Trying to draw Fidget from the videogame Dust: an Elysian Tail. Took a few tries, but learning her details. I might be under pressure to draw more nimbats by someone, so it's in my best interests to get better.

Day 23 of #inktober: Truly Relaxed Another piece of Eggnog, my Star Citizen avatar, and probably the most involved drawing I've done this month so far! Here we see her after a long day of trying to earn UEC (credits) while also remaining incognito about her not being human.

A comfy Eggnog barely still in her bed as she sprawls.

Valden S. Valmont @valdenv.bsky.social · 23/10/2023

Day 22 of #inktober: physics hurts I was going to do hand practice, but the first hand i drew inspired an image around it. Poor Eggnog is either running into a wall/door or faceplanting after artifical gravity kicked back on.

Eggnog with her face forcefully pressed against an unknown surface.

Inktober day...uh...wait, hold on. I'm having technical difficulties. Hexadecimal! Get out of there, I've got work to do! I'll get back to you guys.

Valden S. Valmont @valdenv.bsky.social · 23/10/2023

Day 21 of #inktober: Meet "EggNog!" She's a critter I adopted years ago and has become my avatar for my adventures in Star Citizen. Basically (this is entirely in my head, FYI) her race is aware of humans and the UEE, but haven't made official first contact yet. She's the ultimate "illegal alien."

Valden S. Valmont @valdenv.bsky.social · 21/10/2023

Days 19 and 20 of #inktober are related, so I'm sticking them together. Drawing more cartoon characters because i just can't stop! I have only seen like, three episodes of Swat Kats because i just never knew when and where it was going to be on, but it's absolutely my kind of show.

Day 18 of #inktober: a completely uninspired day. Was out on a social thing that distracted from doing something with more effort. I may revisit the Mal0 idea later, when I can focus more on skellie faces.

Valden S. Valmont @valdenv.bsky.social · 18/10/2023

Oh, Suddenly Egyptian Gods take over day 17 of #inktober! These guys are from a "four panel comic" style anime, which is a sub genre I'm particularly fond of. I could not get Medjed's eyes right to save my life. However, I'm really really happy with my smear framing of Basts...uh...jingle things.

From left to right: Bast, Thoth, Anubis, and Medjed.

Day 16 of #inktober: it's morning. Not happy with the drawing, but I understand what went wrong. For example, I got this great torso bend but then proceeded to screw it up by making the legs straight. When slouching like that, the legs should have a similar bend to them.

Valden S. Valmont @valdenv.bsky.social · 16/10/2023

Day 15 of #inktober: witchy Valden While yes, I've been drawing random cartoon characters for fun, the real aim was to learn from the exercise. This doodle isan attempt to incorporate what I think I've learned so far. Kind of like Inktober midterms.

I'm posting day 14 of #Inktober now because I won't have time to do much drawing tomorrow. I'm having a blast drawing random cartoon characters I've never drawn before. It feels like I've unlocked a super power. Kinda silly, i know.

030

Valden S. Valmont @valdenv.bsky.social · 14/10/2023

Well, I guess this is #inktober day 13! Was intending on drawing some general face shapes for practice, but kept popping out cartoon characters.

Valden S. Valmont @valdenv.bsky.social · 13/10/2023

Day 12 of #inktober: "The Temple for Gifted Adventurers" I actually wanted to redraw this one, but today went faster than expected. Poor fox lost his tail. If you haven't played the videogame "Tunic," the glyph on the door is supposed to read "Pull." I couldn't find an "uh" sound though in Trunic.

Silly fox leans into a door. Apologies to Gary Larson.
