Tintin-related commission for relaxingdragon.bsky.social in which Rascar Capac, he-who-unleashes-the-fire-of-heaven, gives a brief demonstration of his abilities to a pair of bewildered onlookers.

initially one of my recurring fools was requested to be in the chair, and subsequently this purple one was suggested, and seems to be handling the situation with more decorum than most of them might.

in fact just over ten years ago I drew this same character in a similar scene also borrowed from a tintin book. I may have done a better job then! however, I appear also to have drawn an awful creature known as “nemitz” into the background which utterly disqualifies it. Maybe that is why I seemingly never mentioned it here. But sometimes that’s just how things are! The world is a treacherous place!

Especially da worlda tin tin. an’ me! wuf!

a commission drawing for Draco Nihil. the task was to recreate something like an unused box art design for the video game “doom 64” with characters that are more reminiscent of mortimewde stapleton meepmire, nemitz, elpse and a dope. this has no relation or compatibility with my gzdoom matter.

i can say i understand why that box art was unused, but not why somebody would want to pay for such a substitute to be produced. nonetheless someone did and now it is your problem
i am far from an expert on the matter but i suspect the original artist invented many of the muscles whose details i have attempted to replicate here

thinking about this brought me back to the “40 worst rob liefeld drawings” page which i apparently have looked at before since I recognize more of them than I should, but last time I wasn’t aware of elon musk and was fascinated this time to see how many liefeld characters seem to have his same tight squinty botoxy face

gosh i didn’t even KNOW he actually had botox. i just thought: this looks like someone who has something wrong with his face that is probably his own fault because he has enough money to buy luxembourg. How does anyone have sympathy enough for this scumheap to interview him about being disliked for doing shallow things to try and make people dislike him less?

elon musk is a lot like rob liefeld himself in that both were talked about around me for years without me having any reason to know or care who they were but they eventually became my problem anyway. I suppose I should be glad to share that problem with more people than dopes and eight squared.

as usual I must warn you that clicking on this will lead to a bigger version on which the text may be legible.

back in august I mentioned a “documentation/abuse forum.” some time after that I posted a comic strip without an explanation. It was MOSTLY inspired by the same thing as this one, then I built the rest around my frustration with that. I wanted to stop thinking about it but I still did and then this one came about, which is more direct, though still possibly hard to understand. I cannot explain it concisely, either. Even trying to explain why I can’t explain it concisely isn’t concise, so maybe I will try again later. Or ideally I will forget about it this time.

october 28 2024 addendumb: It has come to my attention that the person this was mostly about was banned from that forum over attempts to photographically prove its own biological womanhood to other users several days after I posted this, but presumably utterly unrelated to my having posted it since no one legitimately perceived me a target who deserved to be stalked at length, just abused for a few moments and tossed away. But for all the ungrounded garbage written about me, I was never actually kicked out of that septic tank! I could still go back if I wanted to! But why? They ban the people who most fully embody their own spirit of hateful pettiness. Who can you trust if not the ones as evil as you are? Not only is it a nest of voyeurs and vipers, the vipers are cannibals.

busy week, almost forgot

i hear “go to disney” said casually regularly and it bothers me, much the same way as “google it” does. I don’t like brands replacing bits of language, even if in this case the brand has merely replaced a reference to its own branded attraction. it still means language got stupider through the actions of boring complacent people.

whenever I see or hear the phrase something about it seems nefarious, possibly due to early life exposure to the terrible but ubiquitous 198x “Ghostbusters” video game that commanded players “GO TO ZUUL” at some point, the whole while various ghosts have also been going to zuul and presumably strengthening it. I never actually knew how to play it or if not going to zuul in a timely fashion made a difference but I remember being worried about it when watching other people play it.

the apparent long time owner of one of the websites that I post drawings of became dead recently. Details beyond that quite honestly I have had quite enough of a few months on, both the people I got those details from and the people who have a problem with me mentioning those details. The ones who hold this guy up like a god forbidden to criticize are horrible and the ones who spend hours or days of their lives every week to nitpick his every act so they can interpret it the worst possible way are worse, and actually much more likely to have a problem with me still in april 2025. Nonetheless this picture exists.

I didn’t personally know the person; I saw him from across a room once in 2012 and didn’t think I had any reason to try and get his attention. Prior to his demise I never observed anyone I knew have anything positive to say about him, though I probably haven’t dealt with any of them since 2012 either.

at first I used a generic central character, thinking it was in bad taste to use the dead mans’ real character, but the whole thing is in bad taste and the character itself isn’t real so I ought to commit to it.

If I had thought it through better I might have had the reptilian facing the other way, both so that the carpenter would be nailing in the correct direction and so an additional character could be shoving a hamburger into the reptilian’s mouth, though that might have needlessly confounded the issue. That seems like I’m saying “boy he SHORE was fat!” rather than “you fetishists encouraged this man to endanger his health just because you get off on it.” And that isn’t even necessarily fair since they got off on the character being fat, not the man himself. As far as I [want to] know.

I included loose depictions of the website’s official mascot and official unofficial mascot as if to blame the website itself rather than real people. Although sometimes I feel like nobody I read about in association with these things is real.

this is not quite the game of thrones followup that I was expecting

captain dope deserves only your scorn and derision! it is NOT a real captain!

unless if by “married” you mean “infuriatingly smiled at for an indefinite period” captain dope has no power, much less authority to assist you.

exclusively for the purpose of annoying me, nemitz replaced the bottom of this boat with a screen door and then rowed unwelcomely toward me while smiling.
as to HOW nemitz replaced the bottom of that boat with a screen door, which surely should be beyond mitz capabilities, I know not, but I do know that were it a useful thing to do nemitz could not have done it. when nemitz is around stupid things just HAPPEN.
including captain dope. I had hoped to never see captain dope ever again. Perhaps there is still time not to.

just two days ago i noticed the furnace in the basement here said “granby” on it, which reminded me that nemitz once said “eestgranby” and that I even called mit out on the deed.
the very idea, the absolute audacity, for it to even be plausible that nemitz would DARE declare “eestgranby” in my presence is itself unforgivable.
potentially but not necessarily forgivable, me attempting to integrate leaf shadows for the first time ever across the front of snikpel (angry creature at fore of boat) several minutes before posting this.

why would you name your steel tank company after a nemitz quote unless you were producing military grade tanks because you wanted to remind yourself to shoot nemitz with them?

i do not remember clearly but evidence seems to suggest that i used the word sequence “as more time elapses” and thought elapses looked like elpses and so i drew one and then more time elpses.

the main problem with this is that elpse is acting like nemitz usually does in these pictures, coveting or presenting something stupid while smiling at someone, usually me, who has no need for it. Does that one at the lower left REALLY think that *I* think that *IT* invented clocks? I am NOT fooled! And gork that clock is so huge and awkwardly labeled that inventing it specifically is nothing to seek praise over! Truly unfortunate that the most reliable way I can think of to prevent time elpse from smiling is to introduce a time dope, but then that would become MY problem as well.

the robot variant seems to have first appeared, though not necessarily exhibited anywhere, in 2010ish after I encountered this web page while seeking, I can only surmise, bootlegged elpse content. I have no recollection of drawing it but it showed up when I sought out the sketch for the more recent time elpse event. Thankfully due to having animal-style digitigrade feet, elpse’s legs cannot accommodate boots. I did once draw, on paper, an elpse standing, possibly in a pose like the one with the clock here, beside an enormous boot, while a rotund business person offers “I would buy your big boot” and the elpse simply says “NFS” with a BIG smile, arrogantly assuming that people who aren’t on the internet know that NFS means “not for sale,” and it is extremely stupid but fortunately I do not have a way of text-searching old sketch books so that picture will probably never show up here. for rootbie’s sake, elpse, NOBODY is ever going to offer you money for that dumb boot EVER again. TAKE the offer NOW.

I was trying to draw a picture of my mother for the mother’s day occasion but I screwed it up and did not finish in time. I am still am not done but this is the general “idea.” I was concerned enough about it to seek approval in advance of putting it on websites. I had also pondered replacing the baby with a fish but as I had already drawn the baby when I thought of that I asked about that also, and was told that I should keep the baby. It seemed to me later that the baby wanted spaghetti, or maybe lo mein, or maybe nothing if that looks like nothing.

4-16-2024 whoopf i forgot i have a website this week. fortunately it is rarely remembered in general. i have another redrawn old dumb monster to show, when i get around to showing it.
///////////////////////

maybe too much greebling for the amount of content here. i felt mentally drained after the stupid animation and posting it to all the websites, and sought a sketch that I could computer paint over. and that was too much, so I went after this one instead, which was also too much, but since I had already dumped two days on the first one I stuck with this. the stages of production as far back as I have proof of can be viewed over there since I lack the energy to deal with them here. Yes that is an obnoxious paywall site. Somehow or another 11 or 12 still people actually pay me small bits monthly through that, out of pity or whatever other reason, and I will take that. This particular post is “unlocked.” Others are not, more so the people paying money don’t feel slighted than because I think anybody wants to steal them.
I believe it to be the picture that made me realize I was not cut out for water-color painting on physical media. I will sketch and resketch elements for ages to get them in functional balanced positions and next I will be reluctant to place colors that I might change my mind about. And so this lingered unfinished for years but still with blue tape on it as if I thought I might finish it. Obviously I FORGOT most of that when I decided to bring it out for this. At least five years had passed. It was supposed to be straightforward and mindless, and mindless often means irrelevance. but there are also always stupid challenges that need to be thought about that most people would not encounter. what is this thing swimming in? anything i want. but what then IS that any thing?

only THIS part is truly mindless.
obviously, the dope is awful. the dope is scum. nobody is denying that. yet they also will not take steps to do anything about it. the GREEN dope in this picture, does it think i will think it isn’t a bad dope since it isn’t blue? what a horrid dope! just look at those ears! it is JUST as bad as every other dope. i doubt it even KNOWS what color it is! maybe it even thinks it IS a blue dope! but i do not want to say anything appropriately abusive to it since i don’t want it to look at and smile at me.

a pointless drawing in which nothing happens showing bulma from the early dragon ball comics and unfortunately nemitz from stupid garbage comics. it didn’t seem worth fussing too much over since i never finished the comics and the anime based on them apparently was largely skipped in the US in favor of the Z episodes and more people are familiar with that but i am not and i refused to become more familiar with them without finishing what happened before that story, which as stated I never did. i TRIED but i got the books as gifts, and eventually the gifters forgot which ones I already had, and I am too cheap to buy my own books, AND the various torrents i found are highly irregular, mixing in various inconsistent fan-translations (some with MIRRORED artwork) which were probably in circulation long before the official printed ones I was familiar with amidst bits OF the official printed release.

what the heapdedeep, I know much more about dragon quest than dragon ball, which is also illustrated by the lately dead Akira Toriyama, i should have drawn some dopey monsters from that. (just not healie) (ALSO I forgot I mentioned the Journey’s End Motel and it made me laugh harder today than when I wrote that)

with that in mind i added the annoying blue thing on the left, which appears in the first dragon ball chapter but also is cognate with the “vampirus” monster from dragon warrior 2.

Vampirus, perennial adversary of the Phantom Force

although vampirus is of course best known for participating in the decoration of a worse lizard’s apartment.

with that in mind, get those dumb vampiruses OUTTA HERE

another unfortunate appearance by the dope vending machine

i would ask who was paying nemitz but i know it isn’t necessary for someone to be paying nemitz for mit to be doing something this stupid.

in the sketch it is a generic imp but when digitally handling it I was trying to warp it into the first imp I ever showed getting angry at a dope dispenser. However back when I drew that (several years before the video) I was less diligent about having a creature appear consistent between two frames, and more recently wondered if this creature was likely to be recognized by anyone even if I did come to an ultimate compromised between its two shapes. The important thing is that it disapproves of dopes. I do not think having a tantrum is going to solve the dope problem, OR the nemitz problem, but I never claimed it wasn’t stupid, just smart enough to not want dopes.

a video of every drawing from 2023. naturally i spent more time making the title animation than assembling the slide show, which itself took several days because there is apparently no program that can batch export .clip files and the keyboard shortcut for exporting singular files in xnview hasn’t worked the last few versions. Also thanking people who gave me three to eight dollars altogether and then were never heard from again and who won’t see this video ought to alienate the last few people who have made prolonged attempts at supporting me in more meaningful ways who didn’t get thanked in this video. It ought to but since none of the names are legible due to flash animating this more slowly than it appears when output most of the time and the screen being packed with irrelevant junk, some of which appears in FRONT of the names, so I hope you can enjoy this curious mess of unreadable scrolling letters.
oh! the music was mostly made in 2004-2008. It was chosen for this due largely to the length and the fact that it had not already been used in a video. Then mostly “today” i tried to rehabilitate it with drum noises, more midi trumpets and a conclusion, then also an introduction due to the extra time from the conveyor belt animation, and I swear curse and profane that it sounded REALLY nice five hours ago, when I was listening to individual parts of it through one ear bud while sharing a room with wrestling documentaries and legendary zelda tears on a moderately sized television box before going outside to do an improper superstitious year-switching ritual in honor of a dead person whose incorrect version of the ritual is inexplicably important to me to keep repeating even though it hasn’t yet worked. although since I keep doing the ritual I don’t actually know what would happen if I DIDN’T do it. I certainly won’t suddenly not have poisoned a coherent fake sitar tune with fake trumpets and sound effects

AND SO after sleeping i reduced the volume of the new trumpets and corrected one minor animation matter that I kept dwelling on, and so now THIS version is roughly adequate.

I tried to make these in recognition of my mother’s birth day since she likes pictures like this more than the regular garbage I come up with, especially these days when I get so obsessive about my real projects that even basic updates take weeks or months, so the stupid characters that I draw based on internet people or worse seem like all I am doing. I need to show once in a while that I can do far worse.

I am not sure who this is, but it looks like trouble

and now we have bigger problems. whoever these people are, they seem to be faced with challenges that I feel fortunate to avoid and I admire their attempts to persevere despite those challenges.

addendope: I changed “more dopes” to “diet dope.” It will not help with your diet but it will taste worse than a “regular” dope (which already surely tastes quite bad) and will also give you cancer faster. I do not understand how it is allowed!
///////////

a fuller rendering of one of the cursed vendope images. I am uncertain if the sketch was intended to be the tengu bar tender from the comic strip, but I decided for this that it was not since I did not want to draw any weird back-wings. However trying to change the nose or eyes made the figure look less functionally stupid so those remain in place. Howeverer trying to draw certain that I am not entirely certain of typically results in a mess. Indeed the central figure is quite vague and uncertain. But I think I would be as well if I got stuck with a dope when I was not expecting one. Thankfully nobody paid me to draw this! Alas people have paid me to draw some pictures with dopes in the past.
Consider; you aren’t even ALLOWED to get “no dope.” what an atrocity.
and nemitz! who does nemitz think mit is holding up and pointing at “out of order”? like nemitz can read? mit can’t!
i do not know WHY anybody would put a coin into the machine. maybe the thinking is: “I will contribute money toward the idea of no dopes,” but I cannot be certain of that. *I* certainly would not try it. But would I know better without this courageous person’s example?
