Hello, shadow.
Happy Carl Sagan Day! Wade out a little - the water seems inviting.
Some monsters drawn last night while watching movies and listening for trick-or-treaters at the door. Had a grand total of four kids turn up this year. Definitely ate more candy than I handed out. Blargh.
UNIPUG.
I’ve started working on a custom game board for my Munchkin deck, which is really just an excuse to make clay figures of silly mythological creatures.
First game piece is a wild and majestic Unipug. It may only be captured by a virgin with the aid of a rhinestone dog hoodie.
Aw. Final episode of Eureka airs tomorrow. FARGO, I WILL MISS YOU.

A little fanart for the SpaceX Dragon. Congrats, and well done!
Dr. Horrible sketches! This film just might be my favourite thing in the known universe.
Squawk.
Couldn’t resist having a go at another Beast — this one’s a descendant of Evan Dahm’s #29. I think I would’ve been happier if I’d gone a little more crustacean and a little less dinosaur, but the fun in doing these is not thinking about it too much.

Spark.

Thank you!
I’m tempted to redraw him in his season 3 onesie. The clothing of the future is amazing, I want to live there.
After a lifetime of general indifference toward the franchise, I’ve recently gotten myself hooked on episodes of Next Generation. Doodling while I watch has been a good way to keep me drawing while I work through a case of art block.
Also, I’m kind of obsessed with Wesley’s sweaters. They’re amazing.
I’m smitten by the central concept of Yuko Ota and Evan Dahm’s speculative evolution project, The Exquisite Beast. Starting with one of Evan’s creations, the two are taking turns envisioning the next phase of the creature along a single line of evolutionary development. Yuko has encouraged others to start their own Beast projects (which I’m totally up for!), but for now I’ve whipped up my own successor to Beast #6.
I liked the idea of the Beast moving towards something arboreal, but it seemed too clumsy and bulky to be found swinging about in the treetops, so I went half way and considered a feeding strategy similar to an elephant — using its weight and prehensile forelimbs to bend down branches or pull down small trees. It’s too much of a leap for the forelimbs to have acquired a skeletal structure already, but I did make them more muscular and defined (more limb-like than tentacle-like), with an inner cartilaginous structure supporting the underside of the ‘forearm’ up to the claws. Its vegetarian diet necessitated a better-defined lower jaw for chewing, and the stalk eyes have receded further toward the skull.
One of these days I’ll get around to this story.
