Inktober 2020 Day #22: Chef. I knew when I looked ahead and saw this prompt that I had to incorporate the Swedish Chef somehow. He was fond of putting "der chicken in der poot" on The Muppet Show, so I figured if PMD was involved, it would be the Chicken Squid/Squid Chicken "in der

Inktober 2020 Day #21: Sleep. My arch-nemesis. I've always struggled to sleep, because my Brain goes into overdrive. I've also always felt like I was wasting time when I slept, probably because I wasn't sleeping well at night so I nod off at odd times sometimes. The only time I really like sleeping is

Inktober 2020 Day #20: Coral. I guess I should dedicate this one to my wife, not only because she puts up with me sometimes drawing when she'd rather be doing stuff together, but also because she used to be an avid diver...until she met me. My fear of being shark food pretty much killed

Intober 2020 Day #19: Dizzy. So, this prompt showed up last year, too, and I paid homage to one of my art heroes, Bill Watterson then. I was referencing a strip where Hobbes is stumbling around for 3 panels, and in the last panel, Calvin comments about him being loopy after coming out of

Inktober 2020 Day #18: Trap. What's this, my fourth Star Wars reference this Inktober? When I saw trap, I knew it was going to have something to do with this. I pulled up a screenshot as reference. Ackbar is tough to draw, lots of weird shapes and volumes. The most tedious part was the

Inktober 2020 Day #17: Storm. I really struggled with my idea for this one. I kept thinking about the X-Men character Storm and doing some kind of PMD take on her, but thought it would be too common an idea. Then I thought about bringing back my random superhero from Inktober 2018, Thunder Cactus,

Inktober 2020 Day #20: Rocket (Squid). Who doesn't think of a squid when they hear the word "rocket"? Anyone? Just me? Well, they ARE essentially naturally rocket-propelled...I realized while planning this one out and looking up reference images that I've never drawn the separation for the mantle area on any of the squids I've

Inktober 2020 Day #15: Outpost. Yup. That's THREE Star Wars references so far this Inktober. Lot's of fun details in this one, had to hunt down some good reference images to get the clothing right. This image also harkens back to one of the earlier It's Plunger Monkey Dynamo Time comic strips.

Inktober 2020 Day #14: Armor. If one is to draw armor, one might as well draw squid armor. I've had a concept kicking around the back of my Brain for many years now for different animal and elemental themed armor designs, with squid being one of the more prominent ones. It could still use

Inktober 2020 Day #13: Dune. This one is weird to me. It kind of didn't take too long, on account of all the negative space, which is fine, I guess. But, it almost feels wrong if it doesn't take me forever. Anyway, with the upcoming new Dune movie (or series? I don't know what

Inktober 2020 Day #12: Slippery. I didn't have a strong idea for this one, so I figured "squids are slippery...probably." Can't say I've ever actually touched a squid. I think I could have pushed the gesture of this image a bit more, but, it is what it is. If I can come up with

Inktober 2020 Day #11: Disgusting. I had a hard time with the idea for this one. I kind of wanted to draw PMD reacting to something disgusting, a la Calvin and a plate of his mom's cooking, but I did something like that for the "ripe" prompt on the last day of Inktober last
