Now don't forget, you don't have to be a great artist to have an "Art Attack". Just go out and have fun with art.

I've been into drawing since I was a school kid.

Now as a college student, my skills are improving more and more.

You might be wondering why I don't share my work on platforms like ~~Purgatory~~ DeviantArt or Pixiv.

The thing is, DeviantArt has a questionable reputation, so it's not really my scene. As for other platforms, I'm not a dedicated professional artist and don't want to put myself alongside the experts.

I simply draw because I enjoy it. I'm competent but don't see myself as an expert. Drawing is just a pastime for me, however you interpret fun in art. I'm no Da Vinci; I'm just a guy who's good at a few things, drawing included. And I don't do it very often—I mostly spend time browsing online or tinkering with Python and JS coding when bored. So no commissions, thanks.

A colourful comic-style illustration showing Kirby, the pink round Nintendo character, sitting nervously on a couch next to a large anthropomorphic housefly. Both watch a horror movie scene from David Cronenberg's 1986 film "The Fly", which is displayed on the TV in a realistic style. Kirby looks wide-eyed and worried, while the fly, equally scared, has an arm around Kirby and says, "I can't bear it, man!" The TV voice bubbles say, "We'll be the ultimate family... a family of three... joined together in one body..." and "More human than I am alone!" The bottom caption reads, "Even the flies are terrified..." highlighting the irony of a fly scared by a movie about a human-fly hybrid.

Even the Flies Are Terrified

My first ever artwork coloured with acrylic markers. Man, these markers are very good.

For best experience, listen to this while viewing the artwork.

Humourous crossover fan art split into two panels: Top panel shows Agent Smith and his clones from "The Matrix" in dark, sketchy style, with one Smith menacingly saying "What are you gonna do now?" Bottom panel depicts Jax holding a furious, flailing Pomni from "The Amazing Digital Circus"; Jax shouts "We surrender!" while Pomni angrily curses, "Jax, you son of a..." with cartoon symbols. The image contrasts the serious noir "Matrix" style above with chaotic, cartoonish comedy below.

Pomni and Jax ("The Amazing Digital Circus") Meets Smith ("The Matrix")

Smith has entered the Digital Circus. Surely Caine and the others can save our favourite couple, right?

BTW, go watch "Digital Circus". It's a jolly good show.

Hand-drawn sketch of Kirby walking toward a moving Maxim Tomato with a large "M", featuring cross-hatching and shading.

Reach for That Tomato, Kirby!

Our little ~~godslaying force of unimaginable power~~ pink puffball shall stop at nothing to catch and eat the red fruit with legs raw.

"But couldn't he just suck—"

Shhh... let him chase it. It's more amusing this way.
