They may not be metal, but they are definitely heavy metal.

A horrifying, yet endearing, mashup of Pokémon Go with Moe from The Simpsons.

I still have over 50 doodles backlogged, and I swear this is the last immature joke left in the queue.

Bonus Note #25

A series of images from his 31st birthday, in which I pulled out all the stops. I set up an elaborate treasure hunt, I decorated with the finest accessories the Dollar Store had to offer, and I had a grand surprise waiting for him at the end of the trail.

(click images to view full size)
treasure hunt introduction and clue #1, hanging on the front door
ceramic trinket dish and clue #2, on his bedside table
gnome plush and clue #3, on guest bed
glow in the dark dinosaurs and clue #4, found in fridge
Tron Bonne figurine and clue #5, on top of TV
holographic cat stickers and clue #6, in computer drawer
super colorful party decorations in dining area / living room
closeup on "31" party candles
top row, left to right
1. Two notes hang under the "Happy Place" sign on our front door:
A birthday hunt awaits you here. 6 gifts are hidden somewhere near. Follow clues around the house until you find your loving spouse.

Clue #1: Though small I'll catch your cares with ease. Start out where you rest your keys.

2. The first prize is a small ceramic trinket dish resting on his bedside table. It is inscribed, "pray more. worry less."
Clue #2: No need for Travelocity where I roam, I'm in the guest room of your home.

3. The next gift is a gnome plush with a big hat and super long legs, lounging on top of the guest bed.
Clue #3: You'll never miss us in the dark. We're prowling where you keep your Quark. (the cheese, not the ferengi)

4. Gift three is a bundle of various glow in the dark dinosaur toys including one Grow and Glow figurine, and a two-pack of dinosaur bone model kits. I wrapped them in tissue paper and hid them in the fridge.
Clue #4: DASH now to the TV screen. There I'll greet you "bween, bween, bweeeeen!"

1. On top of the TV is perched treasure four, an imported figurine of Tron Bonne using a servbot as a chair.
Clue #5: In the top drawer by your computer, waits a litter than couldn't be cuter.

2. The next prize, found in his computer desk drawer, is a package of holographic kitten stickers.
Clue #6: In the office a treasure find. Learn to see what once was blind.

{insert minor explanatory detour}
The whole time he had been on an adventure quest around the house, I had been silently hiding in my office with The Big Gift.

As many of you know, my husband is colorblind. He considers it his only party trick, but I know there are times he wishes he could see the intricacies and vibrancy in color that everyone else around him experiences. So I bought him a set of EnChroma glasses, which aid in filtering color perception for people with colorblindness, often allowing them to experience certain hues for the first time. I was expecting them to blow his mind.

Unfortunately, the glasses did not end up doing as much as I'd hoped. While certain things, like his plaid shirts, registered as noticeably different, it was more of a "Huh, that's kind of cool. This shirt looks less dull than usual" and not a tearful "Green! I can see green! Look at this shirt! Have you ever seen a more wonderful shirt in all creation?!" Most things looked more or less the same. Sadly, we ultimately ended up returning the glasses at the end of the trial period because we just couldn't justify the price tag for the little they did for his specific condition.
{end detour}

3.+4. Long view and closeup of the party decorations. I splurged on every bright and colorful thing I could find, hoping to give him plenty of fodder for his new glasses to soak in: multi-colored paper stars, paper streamers, a hot pink princess tablecloth, rainbow candles, two different Happy Birthday banners, a hoard of balloons, and a generous smattering of dice. Even though the glasses didn't work out, we had fun pelting each other with balloons for the next few weeks.

I was testing out my new drawing tablet with my husband's computer, and decided to leave this open on his screen for him to find when he came home.

I didn't lie. "Coo?" doesn't necessarily mean "Hi!" It could mean "Where's my pudding?"

A dumb joke photoshop I made for my husband of a screenshot from Mega Man 10 enhanced with additional Spikes/Spykes and a Megaman-branded light bulb.

References include Rugrats, Buffy, Cowboy Bebop, Spike TV, Spike Lee, X-Men: Evolution, Tom and Jerry, Space Quest V, The Land Before Time, and Dick Tracy.

Day 8: Zombie
"Pure cone-tentment"


I present my take on a Conehead Zombie from Plants vs. Zombies. It's my personal fave of all the Drawlloween doodles because he turned out so gosh darn happy! You just can't help but love him. <3

Day 4: Vampire
"Vampire Queen of All Cosmos"


The mashup no one wanted: Countess Carmilla from Vampire Hunter D: Bloodlust, drawn in the style of The Queen of All Cosmos from the Katamari franchise.

I couldn't help myself. They both have tube-shaped heads.

Day 321: Mega Man fangame #6,000,050

8/28/2018

My husband plays so much Mega Man. So Much.

He also plays and streams a lot of Mega Man fangames, and curates one of the largest Mega Man fangame trackers on the internet.

Some of these games are brilliant. Some of these games are so ridiculously over-the-top they transcend pithy terms like "good" or "bad." And others... well, others are the game equivalent of a drunken text.

Day 319: A bit odd

These first few images are all ones I doodled in MS Paint and left on my husband's desktop for him to find.

Here we have young Nuptup, the hero of ProJared's Pokémon FireRed Nuzlocke Challenge.
Nathaniel and I had a span of a few months where we spent almost all of our free time watching through the entire backlog of ProJared's channel. This nuzlocke series was one of the absolute highlights of that endeavor.
