Have you ever wondered what you'd get if you combined a wyvern (a two-legged, two-winged dragon) with a common fern? Me either! Until today...

TeacHUD

As a teacher, sometimes it would be nice to have a Heads Up Display to keep track of critical classroom data.

There Goes Spotty

Drawtober, Day 24 - "Her phone fell to the pavement, shattering in a million pieces, but she no longer cared."

King of the Crystal Forest

Drawtober, Day 23 - King of the Crystal Forest

Fffffyyiii,  ffffffyyiiii, were kin-n-n-n-n-g!

"Our minds are full of crazy dreams
They seem to be unreachable
But if you give them up, they stay
Till someone else takes them away"

From the song "Moonboy" by Alphaville

What A Lode

The Sun Throne

In the land of eternal darkness, the one who rules the light rules all.

Gimme A Hand

Drawtober, Day 17 - "Knowing the risk, he drank down the toxic potion. Everything began to change..."

This is a quick one. I had to drive across town tonight to pick up my mom from the airport. She just got back from two weeks in Croatia, so welcome back, Mom!

My Racecar

Drawtober, Day 16 - A Racecar, Decorated With Your Personal Brand

Days like these are why I love Drawtober. Before today, I had never drawn a race car in my life and really had no desire to. When I read the prompt, I thought, "Oh no, I can't draw cars!" But now that I'm done, although it's rough and far from perfect, I actually had a lot of fun drawing this one.

Pac Princess

Drawtober, Day 15 - The Princess of the Ghost Kingdom

Today's prompt has the possibility of getting rather somber, and since that's not really my style I decided to go a little more old school with my Ghost Kingdom.

The Battle Is Already Lost

Drawtober, Day 14 - Pick two elements and include them in your art: Paradise - War - Children - Flowers

Sorry little angel guy, in the epic war between wisdom and waistline, whoever realizes that Thin Mints = Paradise will always win.

That View Is Tremendous

Drawtober, Day 13 - Draw something inspired by your favorite movie

Based on the John Glenn "fireflies" scene from "The Right Stuff"

Peng-whoops!

Sloth

Drawtober, Day 10 - "The massive creature, now frightened, raised up on it's hind legs to attack."

It's My Bed Now

Drawtober, Day 9 - Design Halo Inspired Armor For Your Pet

I'll admit it, if I came home and found this waiting on my bed, I'd probably be sleeping on the couch that night.

Spirit Forest

Drawtober, Day 8 - An Ancient Forest Haunted By Spirits

Today's prompt was pretty specific, so I thought my creativity would come from trying to draw it monochrome.

Ultra Robo Pastry Wars

Little Known Fact: Although it was designed to appeal to a wide demographic, the show "Ultra Robo Pastry Wars" never gained much general appeal. The first episode featured a battle between The Clockwork Cupcake, armed with dual cupcake cannons, facing off against Pie Guy, armed with his Cookie Shield and Pie-dent. There was no second episode.

Son of Meep

Drawtober, Day 6 - Draw a classical art piece in your own style

Levipotami

Drawtober, Day 5 - An Ancient Airport With Magical Flying Machines

Little Known Fact: With the perfection of the techniques for the proper care and breeding of the elusive levipotamus, the ancient Egyptians became the undisputed rulers of the skies for over a thousand years.

Coincidentally, they perfected the heavy-duty umbrella not long afterwards.

The Big Bang

Drawtober, Day 4 - Sunday Comics: Re-imagine your favorite comic strip in your own style.

As they say in their instructions, it's not actually Sunday yet, but since today is 24 Hour Comic day, they thought it was appropriate.

Starlight Run

Drawtober, Day 3 - Friday Feels: "Stars blazed in the night sky, and I took off running down the dark road."

Durn Planet Rustlers

"Give me my planet back!"

Drawtober, Day 2 - A Gunslinging Outlaw Who Comes From A Planet That Rides Llamas

Clearly, from the way the prompt is written, it's the planet that's riding the llamas. Why would a planet be riding llamas? It must have been stolen and it's up to our gunslinging hero to get his home world back.

"I'll take the llamas, too!"

The Beast

Drawtober, Day 1 - Today's prompt was this phrase, "The beast that lives in the sky". Considering where I work and what I get to see every day, it had to be this....
