Alfred the Snail

LittleFears62 Comments

“I saw Alfred this morning,” noted Sprite.

“The snail?” asked Spectre. “What’s he up to nowadays?”

“He’s homeless,” replied Sprite. “He got evicted from his shell by a slimy landlord.”

“Oh, man, poor guy,” remarked Spectre. “How’s he taken it?”

“Better than expected,” said Sprite. “But he’s feeling a little sluggish.”

Alas, poor Alfred. Another illustration from the missus. Everybody loves her previous art here, so once again, she gets tapped for a drawing. You can check her art out and say hello to her on Twatter at @DonnaMStrachan and you can nobble her art prints from Society6 and you can buy her a cuppa on Ko-fi.

Bunneh – Patreon Freebie

LittleFears3 Comments

Have you ever created a character you were really happy with, but had no idea what to do with them? Well, that’s me and Bunneh. I used her once in a #Colour_Collective portrait then never again.

I gave her away this week on Patreon as PNG. She has a transparent background so can be plonked into any project. She’s free for Patrons to download and use in any project (including commercial), no credit required.

Want to use Bunneh for something yourself? Hit me up on Patreon for as little as $1 a month. Linky: patreon.com/littlefears

Thank you, everyone, for your continued comments, support, cups of tea and patronage. You’re all awesome.

Kaijune – 14

Nearly half-way through Kaijune, and I’m making my way into new sets of stories without my beloved Posca pens.

I seem to have moved onto Faber-Castell Pitt Artist pens for everything. Now that’s an expensive transition! I need to investigate FW inks and dip pens. It would be a lot cheaper and give me more colour options. Also, the way my missus raves about them, I think the FW stands for ‘fecking wonderful.’

Cricket Ball

“I don’t want you here,” growled Meria.

“Well, you’re stuck with me,” laughed Lucy. “My wife just left me on account of my obsession with cricket.”

“Should I care?” asked Meria.

“No,” replied Lucy. “It just really hit me for six.”

“Why did you come to this island?” asked Meria.

Lucy reached for a bottle of whisky and grinned.

It’s Deerhound! She’s featured a few times in the Fears stories. I love the idea of a giant Scottish-deerhound with antlers walking across the landscape.

I’m adamant once I’m earning enough money we’re getting a Scottish deerhound. They’re lovely dogs. Gentle giants with pokey faces.

This, of course, has my missus in tears of laughter. I’ve spent the last 15 years of my life being kicked out of bed by Jack Russell Terriers. But that’s unfair. Anyone who’s owned a terrier can attest, the little sods can stretch in bed to in-human sizes. Well, in-dog sizes? Whatever. They can take up more space in bed than a horse when they want too.

As I finish typing this, Lily, a Jack Russell cross, just shoved me off my chair. OK, maybe the missus has a point…

Bonus dog-pictures.

Light Switch

Meria kicked the pub’s door open and dragged her haul inside.

“Well, this is grim,” chuckled Lucy flicking the light switch. “Bulbs have gone?”

“Times are hard here,” sighed Meria. “There’s no money on this island and the electricity abandoned the supply years ago.”

“Well,” smirked Lucy, “these are dark times

Two kaiju today. I spent a lot of yesterday on buses. Hurrah social media and blog reading apps.

I had a cross-eyed geezer sat next to me on the way home. He told me he was training to be a bus driver. I let him know I wouldn’t stand in his way.

A twelve-legged spider, creeping through the city. Arachnophobiacs, I am sorry.

My missus recently asked me to take a spider out instead of killing it. So I took him to a bar. Had a few drinks. Seemed like a nice guy. He’s training to be a web developer.

Pod

“This is one cold and barren island,” remarked Lucy.

“It has sea birds, sheep and fish,” replied Meria.

“Not much intelligent life here,” grinned Lucy.

“The dolphins are about as smart as life gets here,” growled Meria, “and that suits me fine.”

“That’s all well and good until you need to clean a pod them,” chuckled Lucy. “I doubt you have many multi-porpoise cleaners on this rock.”

Clouded

“That’d make a good photo,” remarked Lucy.

“Only for some motivational social media crap,” snorted Meria.

“I like clouds,” pondered Lucy. “I wrote a play about five clouds. On the opening night, the director added a sixth cloud.”

Meria shook her head and pressed on.

“The stage was overcast,” grinned Lucy.
