Four more days for the advent calendar event over at lupiniii.club where each day a piece of fanart or fic is revealed, along with a prompt! I’ve been trying my darnedest to get a prompt drawn up each day, posting them each day is a bit hard so I’ll be posting them in batches!

There’s a holiday event going on over at lupiniii.club where each day a piece of fanart or fic is revealed, along with a prompt! Other folks can join in if they want and do a piece for the daily prompt, which is chosen by the artist of the day! It’s been real fun to sketch these in my sketchbook every day so far.

Day three was my day to post my big piece, and my prompt was “shopping”.

Sketchbook Shoutouts – 39

Image with multiple black and white inked drawings on it. The first drawing shows a couple hugging each other and smiling. The second is Lupin and Jigen from Lupin Zero looking at each other while their hands are touching spontaneously. Drawing three shows an older man holding a wrench in one hand and wiping sweat off his brow with his other hand. Drawing four shows Lupin and Jigen on a picnic together eating sandwiches.

Four shoutouts for my Private Collector gang, it’s always really fun to draw folks’ ocs and some cute Lupin/Jigens!

Every month that someone pledges to the Private Collector tier on Patreon, they get an inked doodle shoutout that appears in my monthly sketchbook, usually waist up and a max of two characters. The request acts as mini commissions and folks can ask for their OCs, my OCs, or any kind of fanart.
