Some final touchups & intensifying the colour values. 😊💜

(The Prophet has decided bone powder works instead of oat milk. Or cow juice. 🐄🥛🤢)
A marker, ink, and paint pen drawing in two panels, designed as both sides of a bookmark, featuring three of my OCs. The Mouse Prophet is in the left panel, yawning with their mouse skull jaws wide open, holding a coffee mug that says “my other smiting mug”. The Prophet’s robe is green with blue and gold trim that is decorated with sentient, sleepy-looking eyes staring at the coffee mug. The mug has a bone stirrer. The Prophet has a halo in yellow, orange, and gold behind their head, and the background is blue. At the bottom, a white panel with gold edges says “Don’t Summon Me Before My Coffee!”. The right panel has The Watchers, gold-winged, mouse-eared, sentient hooded robes, stacked one above the other, the lower one facing right, the upper one facing left. Their robes are tan; where faces would be is nothing but darkness, but they both have gold hands (for holding stuff, of course!). The top Watcher is holding a blue spatterware coffee pot marked “Prophet’s coffee, Serve hot!”, the bottom Watcher is holding a fancy brown bottle marked “bone powder” on an orange label. Their wings are wrapped around them. The upper Watcher has a silver edged speech bubble, saying “Creamer?” and the lower Watcher has a gold edged speech bubble saying “I got it!!”. Mmmm, bone powder. :)

Spent most of the day working outside.🥵

This is done except for light clean up. I changed the title, & I may do some more bits to The Prophet’s side, I haven’t decided. 😊💜

WiP in colour! 😊💜
(It occurs to me that I could put a popcorn box in The Prophet’s hand, & have them throwing popcorn into their mouth w/ the same pose. That would be fun. 😁)

Playing with a bookmark design.

I’ve been trying to keep the stickweed under control, which is taking most of the day, hence being quiet here. I’m tired! 🫩💜

I was in the garden most of the day (~3/4 acre), but I did finish the contretemps between The Mouse Prophet and certain employees. *ahem* #Ihavenomugandimustsmite 😁💜
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.

New tagline, callback to an older drawing, still WiP. 😊💜💜💜
A photo of my sketchbook with a pen, mechanical pencil, and eraser on the left, open to a WiP drawing of The Mouse Prophet (TMP) scolding The Watchers (TW). TMP is a human skeleton with a proportionate mouse skull for a head, dressed in a green and teal robe with sentient eyes. They have a spiky halo 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 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 their feet. The other is behind, holding up a large yellow sign that says “GUILTY!!”. 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”.) The drawing is marker and ink only.

And once again. It seemed simpler when I started, but clearly I’m not finishing it tonight. Y’all get to see my marker work before I clean it up! Yay? 🤔😁💜
The Prophet gets Their morning coffee - A marker and ink work in progress of my OC, The Mouse Prophet, sitting at a wooden table, facing left, looking with askance at one of The Watchers (The Prophet’s assistants), on the left, heave a giant mug of coffee up on the table with both hands. The coffee is sloshing a bit; The Watchers are short compared to The Mouse Prophet. The mug says “This is my SMITING mug” on the side. The Prophet is a mouse skull on a human skeleton, with a spiky halo, and wearing a green robe with eyes down the front and on the cuffs of the sleeves. The eyes are all looking left, towards the coffee. This will be fully coloured later; this is the base colour. Background is blue-grey, with shadows around the figures and the table.
