Spider-Man BND

Hard to believe, but as someone who's been obsessed with Spider-Man my whole life, I actually drew Peter Parker only once, and that was in 2017, when Homecoming came out. Until now there have been only Miles Morales, Gwen Stacy and my OC Spidersona Davorachnid in my digital gallery. Now it's time to change that for Brand New Day.

I still haven't seen the new movie, but it's definitely going to happen. Hopefully soon, before I inevitably stumble upon some spoilers. The story is supposed to go back to the character's comic book roots, away from the Avengers, with New York as a background, original suit etc. I can't wait!

Medusa Zara

Once again I found my inspiration in combining two art challenges: DTIYS by @markocomix and DTPYS for July by @theposearchives.

It's Marko's OC Medusa Zara on a beach, preparing for a swim and, as usual, turning other beachgoers into stone.

7 Deadly Sins

I got the idea for this drawing about three years ago, while I was watching The Seven Deadly Sins, a fantasy anime about a group of legendary knights who protected the fictional Kingdom of Liones. They were each named after a biblical sin, although I didn'treally get the symbolism behind that. 🤔

It was interesting, but I wouldn't put it in my top 5 favourite anime. So, back then I made a sketch of all seven knights plus the princess and their animal companion and I haven't touched it until now. I'm not sure why now, I guess I got tired of looking at that file in my "TO DO" folder.

The original name is Nanatsu no Taizai and it was and is still very popular among fans. It's silly, with unusual characters (as you can see), a lot of questionable fan service and familiar but still problematic relationships and inappropriate behaviour. I mean, I guess I recommend it, although I don't think I'll watch it again. If you read the manga or watched the anime, is there anything interesting or important you'd like to share, maybe something significant or more specific I should've mentioned?

Neil the Seal

He's back! Once again Neil the Seal is spending his moulting days (shedding old skin and fur) in beachside towns in Tasmania, causing commotion and filling the social media feeds with his shenanigans. 🦭

He's practically still a "baby", just a 5-year-old elephant seal weighing a tonne but still growing. Apparently, he's lonely because of lack of his peers at the beach, so the nearby towns with their infrastructure became his playground.

He's all over my feed too, so I decided to dedicate my next drawing to him. As he's treated with caution and respect, I imagined him as a king sitting on a "Game of Thrones" style throne made of everything he breaks on his way, especially traffic signs, poles and traffic cones.

But as entertaining as it is now, there's also a reason for concern. He's a "teenager" and expected to grow and no one knows what will happen once he's 4 tonnes and doing the things he does. They even tried to relocate him, but he eventually came back to the beach where he was born and continued with his usual activities. I hope they'll find some solution before they turn to sad alternatives that have happened before with wild animals in similar situations. 😞

And when it comes to this drawing, I also hope you'll appreciate my idea and creativity in this case.

Pokémon Summer 2026

It's time for another Pokémon Summer drawing; my OCs Umberto and Espina, with their Umbreon and Espeon are back!

This time I wanted to try out a challenging perspective and it took me too much time to figure things out. I found inspiration in one of Instagram stories posted by vloggers Scotty Sire and Jac Anderson, but even with their pose it was very difficult to finish this drawing. Fortunately, this is digital art, so I got to move and tweak lines a million times before I managed to get this final pose. I just hope it follows at least some rules of foreshortening. Please be gentle if you decide to criticise it.

As for drawing Umbreon and Espeon, I often look for dog references, but then draw them like they're cats. 😄 Anyway, it's been fun trying to draw the way I "saw" the final version in my head, almost quitting several times during the process and eventually returning to finish the damn drawing.

ToonJune 2026

For the last day of June (and as my only #ToonJune post this year) I chose one of my favourite quotes from the 1952 episode "Water, Water Every Hare", a funny interaction between Bugs Bunny and Dr. Frankenbeans, who was making a giant robot and needed a brain to bring him to life.

Kaijunicorn (TBT) 2026

For this week's "Throwback Thursday" I decided to merge two monthly art challenges, Kaijune (drawing monsters during June) and Junicorn (drawing unicorns during June), so I reposted my 2023 drawing of a creature that falls into both categories. Yes, I should've drawn a new pose or version of Dinocorn (as I named it), but unfortunately this is all I can post at the moment.

So, happy Kaijunicorn, I guess. 😄
