Eventually, they settled on stuffed crust pepperoni with extra cheese.🍕🍕🍕

(I love stupid “Call of Cthulhu“ jokes. Probably too much. 😁💜🦑)
A marker, ink, and paint pen cartoon in two panels. The first panel shows my OC, The Mouse Prophet, a human skeleton with a mouse skull head, robed in a green and blue robe with sentient eyes edging the sleeves and down the front, crowned by a rayed halo in gold, orange, and yellow. They are standing with their skeleton fists raised, crying “WHO HATH DARED SUMMIN ME IN ALL MINE GLORY?!”. The second panel is below the first, with “caller ID: Cthulhu!” written in the upper left corner. Below, both Cthulhu (left) and The Mouse Prophet (right) are looking at each other, both visible from the shoulders up. Cthulhu is holding a pink phone in one of his face tentacles, with a pizza icon showing. Cthulhu says: “Hey, Proph! Want to order a pizza?”. The Mouse Prophet replies “Sure! No anchovies, tho.”. Cthulhu says “Damn.”. The Mouse Prophet always answers the phone like this. Only other gods have their number. …and The Watchers, of course.

I’m still workshopping this one, but I don’t think they got The Mouse Prophet’s approval on that ad.

My fave bit is the Watcher holding the sign. 😁💜
A graphite pencil sketch WiP of my OCs, The Mouse Prophet and The Watchers. The Mouse Prophet (TMP) is a human skeleton with a mouse skull for a head, and is very tall. The Watchers are faceless robed creatures with mouse ear bumps on their hoods, and they are 1/3 the height of TMP. TMP is standing on the right, facing left, holding a piece of paper, and looking annoyed. They are saying “”If it’s fixed, we break it?! Which one of you came up with that tagline?”. One Watcher is standing on the left, in profile facing right, hood turned up to TMP. They have their hands clasped in front of them, and are saying “erm…”. The other Watcher is partially visible to the left of the first Watcher, holding up a sign that reads “GUILTY!”, and has an arrow pointing at the first Watcher. Their faceless hood is just visible above their arms. Underneath is written “Trouble at work”, which could be read a couple of different ways.

QRP w/ your fave OC(s)!

Mine are Bela Lugosquid, The Mouse Prophet & The Watchers (counts as one, b/c reasons), the Alien Brain, & the Basket Creature (who does not yet have a name, and is out of their basket)(eek!)! 😃💜💜💜💜💜💜
A marker, ink, paint pen and paper collage drawing of my OC, Bela Lugosquid, a common squid, pale pink-grey with red and grey spots, facing left slightly, asleep. They are smiling (yes, I know, that’s not where their mouths are), and are wearing a pair of fake fangs, a black cloak with a red lining, white bow tie and vest, white shirt, and a red ribbon with a spiny Black Sea urchin attached to the ribbon by holding onto a gold ring. Basically, dressed like Bella Lugosi’s famous outfit* in Dracula (1931). Their tentacles and arms are drifting gently, with an arm on the right touching the edge of the cloak. Dream bubbles coming from their head feature an image of Bella Lugosi as Dracula from the movie poster (image sourced from IMDb.com). Bela Lugosquid is non-binary. They are fascinated by vampire squid, but too shy to actually talk to any actual vampire squid (and afraid of negative reactions). They are a very happy squid. They have dreams of stardom. I don’t know about the sea urchin; they usually don’t go that deep. *Of course that outfit is famous! Everyone saw that movie in theaters, right? We’re all immortal, right? …right? Just me, then. A marker, ink, and paint pen drawing of The Mouse Prophet (TMP) scolding The Watchers (TW) for breaking TMP’s Smiting mug. TMP is a human skeleton with a proportionate mouse skull for a head, dressed in a green and teal robe with gold edged green irised sentient eyes down the front of the robe and along the cuffs. The eyes are all staring at TW (except for the bottom one, which is rolling itself). TMP also has a gold halo with decorative rays around their head. They are holding a piece of paper, and look annoyed, saying “‘If it’s fixed, we break it’? So, which one of you broke my coffee mug?”. TW are faceless robed creatures with gold hands and mouse ear bumps on their hoods. They are standing on the left; one is looking nervously up at TMP, and saying “erm…”. There is a broken coffee mug at that one’s feet. The other is behind the first, holding up a large yellow sign that says “GUILTY!!”. The sign has a large red arrow pointing at the first one’s hood. Underneath is written “It’s all fun and games until SOMEONE loses a cup.”. (This is a callback to a drawing where one of The Watchers delivers TMP their morning coffee in a cup that says “this is my smiting mug”.) Background is tan ground with a deep blue night sky filled with stars. A marker, ink, and paint pen drawing of my OC, The Sad Alien Brain, a brown brain-like creature with long nerve-like fibers hanging down, floating in a tall glass tank filled with fluorescent greenish-yellow fluid, reading a book to their Axolotl-like attendants. The brain is wearing a pair of gold glasses, and is holding a red book in their long pink neuronal wire fibers. The book is “Paul Clifford” by Edward Bulwer-Lytton, which is the book that starts with the famous line “It was a dark and stormy night.”. The Axolotls are pink, with brighter pink gills and darker pink spots on their bodies, and they are wearing blue overalls, with their tails sticking out of a hole in the back. They are all sitting, cross-legged, in a half-circle around the front of the Brain’s tank, holding books, and smiling at the brain. They all have huge black oval eyes with light points, and their noses are reflecting the yellow-green of the tank lights (they’re shiny!). One Axolotl, on the right, is staring at their book, which is upside down. Oops! Behind the tank is the cavern wall, in the shadows; on the left, is a bucket, and mop leaning against a red lettered poster that says “KNOW YOUR CLEANING FLUID!”, with a picture of a cartoon Axolotl at the top right, and a red “NO!” over a bottle of ammonia next to a bottle of bleach (don’t mix these!). On the right of the tank, there is a barrel of “Industrial Glass Cleaner”, but the label is partially turned so that the first two letters in “glass” are not visible. This was done by my OCs, The Watchers (small interdimensional mouse-like creatures in robes, whose faces are not visible), one of whom has their head propped on their elbows, leaning on the barrel. The other Watcher is peeking out from behind the left side of the barrel. Above them is a white poster with blue lettering and a pink border that says “BOOK CLUB! Tuesdays! Read along with the BRAIN.”. This is a very silly drawing, and a very long alt text. A marker, ink, and paint pen drawing of my OC, the Basket Creature, a horrible Victorian toy based on a creature inside a basket held by an automaton. It is a bunny, or a lamb, or whatever; it’s beige fur with pink ears and a fluffy whiteish tail. It has huge eyes with green irises and pinpoint pupils, and a beak-like head that has a permanently open mouth with a pink tongue hanging out. The basket creature has been caught in the light of an open door, frozen in the act of playing “pretty unicorn princess”, holding a wand topped by a gold star in their shapeless paws, and wearing a pointed purple party hat held on with elastic. Their dark enlarged shadow is on the red carpet and the non-matching red wall of the basement to the right. The door was slowly closed, and everyone agreed they would never speak of this again. “MAAAAAAAAAH!” echoed faintly from the basement.
