Day 20,140
Two of my favorite things mashed together are today’s prompt – The Creature from the Black Lagoon and Mushroom! Kudos @borolina_illustration for that, and all the choices.
Yesterday was a toughie for me, I’m glad that I doodled this one out back a little while ago, when I first saw the prompt list posted.i intended to put some background in, but I was so wiped out on pain meds and general ugh that white space won out.
Creech is one of my big “fiddle and fix” challenges, both him and ben Grimm’s head require me to look at models before drawing, because of all the odd, “gorilla-ish but not quite” features to be drawn. I almost always get the brow and mouth wrong for lil creech. Thankfully, a whole lot of references exist for both.

Pearl watching Feng (red-male) and Shui (grey-female) gathering straw to build a nest in our tree out back. Other birds popped in to watch, a bluebird and a chunky Robin, specifically.

I woke up inside a summoning circle this morning and these guys were asking me questions about cats. Anyway, they paid me in rice krispie treats, so I go that going for me.

Today’s prompt was Witch Cactus. I suppose her rival transformed her… I hope someone comes by to feed the cat and toad, or that the effects are very temporary.

I forgot to post yestedays doodle for @borolina_illustration ‘s monster spring. I don’t really know how to combine the two, so he is wearing a Gerber daisy wreath on his head while playing he loves me with another.

Day 20,136
PT today went well, hopefull another step forward to greater health, less pain, better maneuverability and balance. A pity that there is no magical, “snap your fingers” solution to things. Slow and steady wins the race for me, I think.
Jake, the trainer guy, liked my new haircut (funny, because he’s a Mr. Clean lookalike, minus the bushy eyebrows and the earring). My buzz cut is about 1/4 inch everywhere on my noggin, including beard, so compared to him, I’m a shaggy boy.
Still waiting to hear back about my brace, but that might still be a while yet.
Inlaws coming back to town, so I am preparing myself for the upcoming tech support, heightened activity, more takeout and crime dramas. I am actually really looking forward to it, because I love them dearly, and even better, I like them, too.

Day 20,134
Took a little trip to stretch my legs on some walkies, get some bubble tea treats for the mermaid, and pick up some other sundries needed from the drugstore.
Got my hair cut over the weekend courtesy of said mermaid and a handy pair of clippers set to “Private Pyle” I am now about 4 lbs lighter, and my noggin is much more cool in the now-springtime weather. (Sunny and clear, 52⁰F, feels like 48⁰F)
Took a swing by The Basement, but no dice on the Swamp Thing doll for which I’ve been sniffing around. The ducks and geese were out in full force, a couple of squirrels, but very little else were visible.
Added @maximillian_deersteak to the picture in spirit, though she had to be at work. Hopefully the Bubble tea and some chewing gum will act as a balm to her missing out on walkies.

Day 20,133
Saw the Inspo pic on the facebook page of Lenny L. Roboticus, and wanted to do a doodle of a beetle in a spacesuit near a little spaceport.
I like to think that the beetle would keep two arms inside the suit for protection, to operate the onboard computer and other scifi reasons.
I wonder how a critter with an exoskeleton would deal with high-g takeoffs compared to a human?

Prompt of the day – Mummy Tangerine
A slightly brighter shade than mummy brown, and comes in a lovely decorative fruit crate sarcophagus!
(Mummy Brown was a pigment of paint that became popular in Europe during the 16th century. The rich brown color was made from grinding up Egyptian mummies, both human and feline. It was prized for its transparency, and was used for painting shadows, glazing, and flesh-tones in both oil and watercolor works of art.)

Day ended gently with us going on a little drive and then we came home , and caught up with Farmer wants a wife, ghosts and so help me Todd. Guess which show inspired this lovely couple?

Day 20,131
Just a lizardman ranger in the weird wild west. Testing blur filters, but I think I prefer it without any.
Went for a little drive with @maximillian_deersteak this morning, got a spot of McBreakfast and returned home to lounge a bit before our day continues.
Spring has really sprung, lots of flowing trees and such. I expect the nearby golf course will be hopping soon. Might go to Harvest Moon later for groceries, if our heart is in it, or just to Grandin, maybe.
Been hitting the Easter / springtime treats sent by the inlaws… hard to resist sweets around here! Pearl was trying to get into the bag of malted milk eggs, but it has eluded her so far.
Lounging in the red room is a dangerous trap, so comfy and the girls especially it in here too, as it is sunny and warm. Good place to just read, doodle and relax.

Day 20,130
Another reason to beware the ides of March! I went through a few drafts before settling on a fuzzy beastie, even though the original critter was sort of like the alien xenomorph. Why? Because it looks cuter to me. Despite the flower full of teeth and eyeball-pistil-tongue, I think it might still get a hug.
