Hollow Giving
Pa: Here you go, Jimmy. I’ve got a present for you.
Jimmy: But, Pa, I feel a healthy indifference toward radishes!
Pa: I know, son. ::Pats Jimmy on the back::
Jimmy: But Pa! Are we mutants?
Pa: From the look of our hands, old chap, I’d have to say yes. Now shut up.
Hallowgiving
Thanksgiving and Halloween are really quite similar, you know. I mean, they’re practically on top of each other when it comes to the calendar, they’re both bursting with your standard fall color scheme, and while you worship the devil during one, the other has you paying homage to a wad of congealed berry juice (practically the same thing).
I think combining the two would definitely save time. Who needs to spend hours cooking a full turkey dinner when you can just go collect some candy? Though I guess one drawback would be the name, since it would most likely come out sounding like “hollowgiving”, which might make some people doubt the sincerity of the love and thought behind the candy and bits of deli meat being tossed into their sacks.
Illustration Friday: Smitten

Sometimes it doesn’t pay to be the tallest thing around…
Well, here’s my first entry for Illustration Friday, where you get a new topic every Friday, and then have a week to illustrate it.
Needless to say, the word smitten (this week’s topic) is quite adept bringing to mind all manner of sentimental mushiness, but one must not overlook its more literal, though seldom-used, definition.
It just so happens that I find the latter infinitely more fun to illustrate.
Renfield Takes a Stand

Apparently this particular feline has not been exposed to what this pigeon can do with a good quality nunchaku, or it would already have vacated the premises. As it stands, the cat is most likely going to find out very quickly that Renfield is no less skilled in the ways of the fencing foil.
Shai-Hulud
Sandworms are cool. Not that this sketch really is, but at least it didn’t end up looking too horrible. I think I’ll have to revisit the subject matter again once I’ve actually figured out how to use the tablet a bit better.
Behold the Face of Pure Evil
Poodles are either the goofiest dogs ever, or the creepiest. Maybe a combination of both.
But mostly just creepy.
Yay for Tablets!
And no, I don’t mean those things you write cuneiform on, though they can be pleasant too.
I got my Wacom tablet yesterday, and it’s quite nice. Definately takes some getting used to, but it’s much better than a mouse for actually drawing on the computer. Besides the fact that you actually use a pen-like thing (which is already quite helpful), it’s also pressure-sensitive (which is definitely outside the realm of mouse-drawn art), allowing for lines of varying thickness and/or opacity.
Anyway, that apple was just my first quick attempt at using the thing with Photoshop.
