And since I was on a fanart kick, I decided to show Sokka some love too. Because he’s my favorite, and because I have a soft spot for pictures of Sokka in front of the moon.

If anyone has any requests or suggestions for other things I should draw, the night is young, and I might just take you up on it.

I haven’t drawn Spongebob fanart in yeeaaaars, so I thought I’d try my hand at it again. And it was super fun. Of course, with how shiny I like to make things, he looks more like cheese than a sponge. Whoops :)

Also, I’ve been eying the box set of the first 100 episodes Amazon. Things I need in my life.

Comix making action shot.

Complete (unedited) comic about Jacques Cousteau, featuring some information about the fishing industry that is probably a bit dated now, and some wisdom about the environment that remains timeless. The text is from Cousteau’s autobiography entitled The Man, the Orchid, and the Octopus. Interestingly, his autobiography is not so much directly about himself as a person or his accomplishments, but about his experience with the world and his perpectives on it. I think that in and of itself says a lot about him. My childhood hero.
