I tried a sketching, and... Well, I ran out of steam. I'm just not feeling too inspired at this point, but I need to practice and get over my impatience.

Response has been good so far, so pretty pleased.

I can't figure any other way to ask, are you selling these designs as t-shirts already? Because I'd really like to get one with Coffee Squid.

The branch sticking out there disturbs me. Looks way too fleshy imo, like a baby's arm or something. Make it gnarlier.

Hey thanks! I am still selling them at the moment. If you search Exploding Squid on facebook you will find my page and we can swap details.

Here is the Coffee on a shirt.

Did you ever stop to think that maybe he was drawing a Trent you insensitive monster?
Also, it's not to uncommon for a tree to get something like a swollen branch:

I like the drawing though. I'm not going to tell you that though so you don't get an over-inflated ego.

In other news, I found a big list of Cryptids on a "Cryptid wiki" site, if you need some inspiration for something cryptiddy to draw you should check it out.

I drew a Hodag.

What's the resist made of? I've been playing around with silk screen & acetate cut by hand, but stencil cutting is a special form of hell, and I can't get 'islands' of non-colour.

I've seen Goatse far too many times. Looks like a zombie minotaur.
Welp. Time to face the music and post the Hodag I brought up. Might be good for a laugh if anything.

It's a monster from Wisconsin that was proven a hoax.
It looks like the offspring that would be produced from Godzooky having sex with a cow.
It became extinct after its main food source, white bulldogs, disappeared from the area.

Seriously, thanks for posting them, it's made me realise a few things about my gesture drawing that's off - I've been suckered into 'more time = more finished picture' over 'more time = more accurate' e: 'doing more' rather than 'doing better', if that makes sense? If I eat your brain, I steal your skill, right? That's how it works?
