Two of em were, but the middle two I hadn't ever seen before, so thanks for sharing! :)

Good Boy comics 2: RIP dear Kabosu :(
Found a couple more, and thanks to those that contributed. RIP to Kabosu; she was indeed a good girl.
A link to the previous one if you missed it or just want another look.
Both of your posts are really cool! I dig your style. :)
Guns would definitely fuck up the roof of my mouth :(
Is this a joke riffing on the fact that May 9th is Go(5) Ku(9) day?
Good Boy comics
I like to collect what I call "Good Boy" comics. Anybody know of any that aren't already in here? The comics should include the phrase "good boy" or at least allude to the idea.
Thanks in advance if you find something to contribute, but if not, I hope you enjoy this little collection! :)
I opened up the comments to say that it was reminiscent of Lane Smith artwork, particularly "The Stinky Cheese Man and other Fairly Stupid Fairy Tales" but I can see how it would remind you of Scary Stories artwork, too. :)
Ooh! I really like how you played with the negative space in this one! The haziness of the background and the way it frames the subject in a hazy aura gives it a real ethereal quality. Our eyes are naturally drawn to faces, so the lack of facial features only accentuates the dream-like quality of the drawing. I like the creepy hands, too! :)
Thanks! The idea of a kelp forest seems so mysterious and pleasing to me.
Something about the combination of the way light refracts through the (relatively) shallow water, the dramatically reduced range of view due to the density of water, plus all the life that these forests can potentially harbor have really appealed to me lately. :)
Thanks! I’ve always been really partial to Tombow Fudenosuke felt tip pens, either the soft or hard tip. I don’t mind using other pens, but I always seem to circle back to those. I really like the resistance/feedback you get from the felt tip, and the fact that it’s water resistant makes it nice to use with watercolors or markers.
It also seems like it’s gotten pretty popular lately, so it’s nice to know that it’s probably not getting discontinued anytime soon. :)
There’s so much going on in this one drawing! I really like the strong narrative you’ve got going on! :)
Cool designs, too!
It looks great! Her expression and facial features are really well done! :)
Ooh, I really like how you chose to light the face from below. It adds a lot of drama to what might’ve otherwise been a static pose! :)
Thanks! I filled the page with a Char-Kole stick and then used a kneadable eraser to pick off the lighter portions. :)
A sticker for a friend
A sticker I made for a Stitch-obsessed friend that works at a pharmacy to accompany her birthday gift package. Candies to keep it PG for the workplace. :)
Inking Practice
Sketched in Photoshop, printed it, inked with a Tombow Fudenosuke brush pen and scanned back in. Still haven't decided what else I wanna do with it, so I'm uploading it here now.
Figures
Haven’t done figure drawing in a long time so it feels real nice feeling out the musculature and inventing poses. ☺️
Time to fuck up a new year!
Thanks for giving me new art to look at and appreciate. Happy New Year, y'all! :)
Finished Mech Linework
Doing this has taught me how much time you save when you skip linework and go straight into painting.
