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 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.

Day 20,130

Visited my local goblin artificer to get fitted for a leg brace. Hopefully it will help sufficiently with mobility issues I’ve been having, otherwise I might need surgery. I’ll cross that troll bridge when I get to it.

Stuck my foot in a foam cast and had my leg wrapped in a fiberglass cast to send off to fabrication, once insurance give approval, hopefully quickly.

Most of the folks there were wearing green for St. Patty’s day, and they were playfully teasing someone who wasn’t, until they realised her socks were green, and they raised a great cheer for her (despite her claim that it was just a lucky coincidence. ) I was measured and am now officially 77 inches tall, or about an inch shorter than previously listed. (1.95 meters)

Day 20,128

Prompt was “Frankenstein pineapple “, so I went for a little fruit salad action this time around. I wonder what an electrified, reanimated patchwork pineapple might taste like? Probably a horrible edible arrangement. Maybe I’ll just have one of those kiwis instead. I would guess that the reanimation would make the pineapple warm, so maybe it’s like a Hawaiian pizza sort of thing.

Day 20,127

Mounted Policeman Hank narrowly evaded the wolf attack last full moon. His horse, Midnight, was not so lucky and was struck on the haunch before running off at top speed, saving both of their lives. The following month, the wound had awakened a malevolence within the steed that had long been dormant. As the full moon’s power surged through him, Midnight’s transformation was complete. His once noble eyes now gleamed with a cruel intent! Sorry, Officer Hank. Better luck next life. That billy club isn’t made of silver. 🌕🐴🐺

Day 20,126

Today’s prompt was “werewolf butterfly”, all about transformation, I imagine. I wonder if it goes into a cocoon every full moon?

Hit the doc this morning, got a appt for a leg brace fitting, hopefully that will correct the issue I’ve been having, and won’t need surgery in the future. After the doc, we picked up some nibbles and then swung back to HQ and now we are relaxing in the red room while waiting for Pearl to discover a little ball track toy I assembled in here. We will see if she prefers the toy or the box it came in.

Pearl is very interested in the two house finches building a nest by the house, the redhead has been named Feng and the gray is known as Shui.

We discovered a canned bubble tea that is pretty good! Brand is Pocas, and so far I like the thai tea and brown sugar flavors.

Day 20,125 Happy Mar10 day! It’sa me, not Chris Pratt! I had no question blocks to hit as we were out and about today, but no goomba action either. Sprung forward this morning, and groggily got up early to snag grocery pickup. Being a long haired, overfed leaping gnome, I got in the jetstream of @maximillian_deersteak and whooshed behind her like a tumbleweed until I fully woke up. As we got into the Black Pearl, Kroger called to let us know they would be a little later than our 9am pickup window, so we grabbed a sammich and drove around town a little before getting our food. Pear trees, weeping cherries, willows, and forsythia were all into bloom and there were fluffy popcorn-looking trees everywhere to be seen. Pearl took the morning in stride, frisking around her llama-post, and snoozing in the tunnel when the sunbeam hit just right. Traffic wasn’t bad, despite the morning church services. I think we were in luck, travelling in the opposite direction. So much for the morning, doodle journal! More to follow at some point. Have a lovely day.

Day 20,124 Had a lovely protien bowl for breakfast today, veggie sausage, black beans, quinoa, rice, cheese and egg made by @maximillian_deersteak We took it easy yesterday, binge watched the end of Claws, got milkshakes at @sugarmagnoliashops – she had carrot cake flavor, I went with the special creamsicle, and the ggv were both very tasty. Catching up with birthday cake later today, too! It is in the oven now ,it will ultimately become a triple chocolate cake with white vanilla icing. As for the doodles, just scribbling hypno spirals in different styles that I like to use. Last pic is the protien bowl of yumminess. #doodle #breakfast #spiral #abstract #circle https://www.instagram.com/p/C4ToVRSuE8d/?igsh=Nzd2cjh6eDBtNGpi

Day 20,123 Prompt today was zombie bee, I figured a swarm spreading to other critters would be good, too. I assume that since bees usually lose a stinger after attacking, they are more of a one shot spreader, but the bee itself could continue on in undead form, with the occasional antenna and bug leg falling off. I wonder what zombee honey would be like? #monsterspring24 #monsterspring24zombie #zombie #bee #zombee #doodle #borolinamonsterspring24 https://www.instagram.com/p/C4QiFHFOIx0/?igsh=MWxvNWNsMDYwYTBuaQ==
