I woke up today thinking, “People draw all kinds of Unusual Dragons, why have I never seen a sunfish dragon–” …oh. As reluctant as a mother may be to love that face, I do think she could do with some color. Any pigmentation suggestions?

Normally I think we all just eat long sandwiches from starting point to finish… but what about sandwiches that you’re supposed to eat in a certain order?

A sketch I did of our friends' house where we stayed for a few days.

Quidditch and the Snitch

Heeey so I’m all for Quidditch and who wouldn’t love to play a sport on broomsticks, but what bugs me is that the Seeker + Snitch thing is like... a completely independent situation going on from the rest of the game.

Like once the two Seekers have spotted the Snitch and they start having a high-speed-chase showdown for it, everything else becomes obsolete because the Snitch is worth such a ridiculously high number of points.

It’s like having a football match where two players on opposing sides are playing badminton right in the middle of the game, and the whole team suddenly wins if that one player wins. Why bother with the rest of the team, then?

Maybe it’d be different if it were worth a lot of points, but not so many. Or if the Seeker had an interesting job during the match that wasn’t just “float around until you see a sparkly thing”.

Can anyone shed some light on this?

Excuse me, is this seat on the bandwagon still taken?

I've been into drawing geometric things lately. Also, after taking this I realized the center one would look cool upside-down, too.

I just came across this drawing from 2009?? Ah, Shadow of the Colossus… loved its concept like a dream, despised the game controls and mechanics horribly.

Also I remember scribbling this without looking up reference, so yeah… any resemblance to Colossus Numero Dos is probably pure, stupid coincidence.

I teach at a K-12 school in India where the sinks are designed as 5 taps over a single wide basin.

The way the Kindergarteners have to wash their hands because the washroom sinks are too high for them never fails to amuse me. Bless their itty bitty hearts.
