Weekly Drawing Prompt Thread

I'll see if i can get something up but this and next weeks might be a bit hit or miss with me as i've got stuff to deal with in the next week or so, but i'll see what I can do

Very cool, vypre. I like the comic strip idea --might have to steal it for future drawings!

Anyway, here's mine:

oof. OOOF!

(good job the both of you though!)

I don't think i'm going to manage anything this week or next, but i'll try to do a catch up once i'm done with my surgery and back home again (not like i'll have a lot ELSE to do while I recover)!

Don't sweat it - I didn't know if I was going to get the chance to participate this or next week either. I just got back from a work trip to Albuquerque last night and was supposed to be headed to Omaha on Sunday, but my next trip ended up getting delayed a week.

Very nice, Mario!

Thank you both of you, pyxistyx and vypre.

And I hope your surgery goes well and that you have a speedy recovery, pyxistyx!

thanks!

Whenever I hear “The Final..” anything I immediately think of this so I couldn’t resist.

Didn’t have a ton of free time this week so I pulled the sun and earth from random pics rather than drawing them.

Ok! Managed to squeeze in a quick doodle so I have SOMETHING for this week!

Nice! I like the inky, black-and-white approach!

I need to stop running myself right up to the deadline! Lens flare looks more like an explosion than I intended...supposed to just be lens flare.

I’ll swing back around tomorrow to enjoy everyone else’s tomorrow! G’night!

My step-mom told my 67-year-old dad she was filing for divorce yesterday after 34 years of marriage and asked him to leave. My dad is 37-year sober alcoholic with a medicated chemical imbalance and a history of depression, including one previous attempt at suicide when my step-mom briefly left him about 30 years ago.

My brother, who lives nearby, took him in last night, but he hasn’t wanted to talk to anyone, including his grandchildren, and kept asking for wine (which my brother refused), and when my step-mom was coming to get him. This morning, while my brother was briefly occupied upstairs in his house, my dad walked out of the house without his phone and disappeared. After about two hours of searching, my brother’s mother-in-law found him about 5 miles away walking in the direction of his house - which is over 20 miles further away - and mumbling over and over that he needed get home to his “Connie” (my step-mom’s name) like Hodor mumbling “hold the door” or something.

They ended up taking him to the ER for an evaluation and the doctors and social worker ended up calling an ambulance to have him taken to a psychiatric center. The short of it is, in less than 24 hours, he’s gone from a fairly healthy 67-yr-old man to frightened and confused simpleton who has completely forgotten the rest of his family and has lost his will to live.

I remember the day my grandma died and how lost and hopeless my dad looked. While I didn’t intend it to mean anything quite so dark, given his current situation, my drawing seems almost prophetic.

I am so sorry to hear everything that's happened, vypre. I wish you and your dad the best.

Thanks, Mario

sh*t my backlog of drawing grows like my gaming backlog. Although the game backlog is in the high triple digits.

This week's prompt is:

The Ham Prophecy

Ok, now you've got me curious about the Prompt creation process... How are you coming up with this stuff?

It varies. This week's was the result of a discussion about my weekly menu planning combined with a surprisingly potent bottle of chardonnay.

In surgery recovery now so I’ll probably not managed this one. Hopefully ok for next weeks though

Speedy recovery Pyxi!

Here's my entry. If anyone is interested, I hold classes to teach my amazing skills weekly. The cost is pretty high but I guarantee it's worth every penny.

Ooooooor it may have been Vypre who inspired me to try my hand at Paint and see what I could come up with

Very funny, DeThroned!

Hey, there's only room for one world's worst artist around here...!

...kidding and great job. I'm having a hard time thinking of something for this one. Now that I see yours, it seems so obvious, but already been done. So...

Okay, here's my excuse. I had come up with this idea BEFORE seeing DeThroned's picture, and I thought I would just do something different so as not to be repetitive... but I kept thinking I really wanted to put my idea on paper, so I ended up drawing it even if it looks a bit derivative now. BUT, to compensate, I have had a second idea I will try to draw as well before Tuesday. Hopefully, it will happen. In any case, here's my drawing:

Drawing packaged bacon with a mouse in MS Paint is a pain. If I actually had any artistic ability whatsoever, I'd have one of those digital pen/pad thingies.

Edit: Just noticed that I must have collapsed the clipping masks wrong when I exported the image because half the shading on the central cross disappeared and the ufo is more prominent than it should be, but I don’t have enough time to fix it so it is what it is.

God I love you people.

You forgot the part where other communities would use that as an excuse to draw dicks.
