In relation to the recent poll. Whoopsie.
But there, I acknowledged it. Alas, can't amend images in polls once they're published... but I'll amend it for the second round.
My bad. But it proves I'm human, right?
Man, it’s been too long since I’ve drawn an intro to a poll; this was rather fun, giving me an excuse to get back into Ōkami as reference. Would’ve been sweet to see the new game go more for that art style… oh well.

The recent poll has me on edge because I feel like I'll be targeted as the next... vanishing, I'll put it that way. So I'll get rid of it. Whether that be a human hand or a bot doing the admin, I don't know, but I'd rather not tempt fate (that's why you rarely see me refer to things by their proper name on here).
The onus is on me for creating a silly poll because I wasn't used to seeing human names on here (since we tend...

I guess you could say it’s a mark of how normalised displays of supernatural powers are in this universe given no one comments on what just happened. At the time of posting this, I don’t know whether this will be the final page for the month or what; been feeling a bit guilty for working exclusively on this comic the past few days whilst other projects are sitting there in the lay-by. Whoops. We’ll see what happens.

I got a bit carried away with how much I wanted to draw panels wise, so this got stretched out a bit. Who would’ve thought an advert for a fan-modification would prove to be the inspiration I needed to clear out the traffic jam? And not gonna lie, this was rather cathartic to draw, ha. Still, it’s nothing to lose a gasket over; each to their own, right? I’ll leave the majority alone ...

There was a lot more I wanted to fit on this page but there simply wasn't enough room. So this page will end on a cheap cliffhanger whilst I cram the rest onto the next part. Sorry! But at least I kept things visually interesting, right?
Thanks for supporting this work as always.

This is Ramarilla Jackson, another kaijū from this movie.
I’ve not seen much art about (though I could be totally oblivious). For now, I’ll settle with the personal head-canon of the honours of being first. Hurrah.
In any event, enjoy!

I’ve finally been able to complete this, based on this film.

Simply put:
Your support has been invaluable and has really helped me cover multiple expenses through the year.

So this was initially an idle doodle drawn for Twitter but I spent far too much time trying to draw this creature (which I honestly almost gave up on three times) so it ended up here. i.e. all drawn on the same layer.
Ergo, I'm fulfilling a Patron request by drawing a seperate one instead. Enjoy.
Patrons have voted for Poking Around to be re-archived here on Patreon now that the Gallery function is available.
Beginning way back in 2016, this story focuses on an alternate take on certain monsters successfully intermingling with human society, and trying to eke out an existence after a certain supernatural disaster. This has been a very organic venture which evolved from a knee-jerk reaction to my disappointment with 2021-12-21 09:02:24 +0000 UTC View Post

Another heavy page which was initially written to determine what the relationship status was between the three, and how things are presently. Fret not; this isn’t going to turn into some drama story. Still, better to let the cat out of the bag, right? Do you think Bo is right?

How strange I finish this page a month to the day since the last one…
Anyway, as always, thank you so much for supporting this story as we approach the end of the year. Don’t forget to vote on whether the archive of past pages should be moved back here, and please look forward to the next page which I’m hoping to finish by the time the year turns… we shall see.

So as I was doing the house-keeping today, I realised that the majority of my remaining posts were pretty much Poking Around-centric, but it'd be weird for newcomers to only get the tail end of the comic without the earlier material, especially if they joined me here after I sent out the monthly keys.

Hi.
I’m house-cleaning my Patreon this weekend and moving older pieces to the archives, which I highlighted in this journal entry.

I'm sure this will make far more sense to those people who've played the games... as for myself, no idea, never actually played original or recent remake games; I just wanted to draw something random for a change of pace. And I've not yet done anything Patreon-specific. So enjoy!
I’ve recycled a title, but I couldn’t think of anything more suitable.
As always, thank you so much to everyone for your kind contributions keeping me afloat last month.

I couldn't sleep after watching the 2nd part of Revelations so I rattled this one out. Not my best as this was my first time drawing him but Hamill's portrayal of him was fun. And despite some fan reactions, I rather enjoyed myself throughout watching it. Maybe I'll do a better drawing when I'm not running on sheer willpower? Anyway, enjoy.
