Here we go loop-de-loo... ➿➿➿

My 'finish this doodle' entry for the armless Greek statue that emiliusdraws drew. I've connected the the statue from one shoulder to the other with one big goofball loop-de-loop arm curly-q arm the loops behind his back.

Aww.

In a vacuum, I think the villagers from the first Crash game had an appealing design. I like their overall shapes and cute noses. But the 'hostile natives' archetype can be pretty awkward territory, so I understand why Crash 4's team ultimately went a more fantastical route to sidestep the issue.

Character design art for the tribal natives in the first Crash Bandicoot. A indigenous Pacific Islander male with a lanky build, a wide nose, and a large fluffy bowl cut that covers his eyes. He's wearing a cloth skirt, bands on his upper arms, and a grass necklace with matching anklets.

Concept art for "Crash Bandicoot 4: It's About Time" of a jungle spirit tossing a spear. A blue-skinned humanoid whose face is an expressive mask with glowing blue eyes. A large fur tuft covers most of its upper body. It wears a turquoise tunic with matching fingerless gloves and open-toe boots.

This Aku Li'l Aku says: "Aboogidaba!" 🎭🪵🪶 #DailyDoodle #CrashBandicoot

Whiteboard doodle of Aku Aku, from the Crash Bandicoot series. A sentient wooden tiki mask with a green leaf goatee and four brightly colored feathers for hair (blue, yellow, red, and pink). He floats above the ground with an annoyed grimace.

Eat your pea, professor... 🫛

Screenshot from the Powerpuff Girls episode "Supper Villain" where inept supervillain Harold Smith holds a homemade laser gun made from a hair dryer to the head of a distraught Professor Utonium while they both sit at a dinner table.

This Neo Li'l Cortex says: "TRIANGULAR FOSSA!" 🔫👨‍🔬🧠 #DailyDoodle #CrashBandicoot

Whiteboard drawing of an exaggerated, dot-eyed iteration of Dr. Neo Cortex, from the Crash Bandicoot series, brandishing a laser blaster with a malicious grin. A mad scientist with fluorescent yellow skin, three prongs of hair on his bald noggin, and a disproportionately gigantic forehead with a metallic letter "N" embedded in it.

This Bizarre Li'l Bandicoot says: "whoa..." 📦💥🥭 #DailyDoodle #CrashBandicoot

Whiteboard doodle of a highly exaggerated, dot-eyed iteration of Crash Bandicoot quietly says "whoa..." with an uneven, wall-eyed expression. His snout is extremely long, his shorts are oversized, and his shoes are enormous.

This Delayed Li'l Doofus says: "Huh? Bwah?" ✏🤓📃 #DailyDoodle #SelfPortrait #Buh

"Huh? Bwah?"

Whiteboard doodle of Carl waking up at his desk with an abrupt startled rise, a piece of paper stuck to his forehead.

There are aspects of BN4 I liked, but I VERY much see why many place it in last. The game being a big tournament arc (right after BN3 did a tournament) and randomizing which bits you get with the assumption you’ll play multiple New Game+ is smelly. Ain’t playing this game 6 TIMES to see everything.

Scene from Battle Network 4 where Lan reading a restaurant sign in Elec Town.

“It’s a sign of a cow recommending you eat beef…”

“But what cow in their right mind would say that?!”

Lan stands in front of a hot dog stand with a goofy mascot that looks like a hot dog with googly eyes.

Lan observes a carrot-nosed snowman in the Russia-inspired country of Sharo. It has a goofy uneven appearance with a pointy pink hat and one yellow mittened stick arm.

Battle Network has established an ending formula of: -point of no return -long tedious hallway -tedious mini-boss -even more tedious final boss I hit a patience wall last night after enough tries at BN4’s finale where I threw my hands up and turned on the Collection’s god-mode buster to skip it.

My clear screen for Mega Man Battle Network 4 Red Sun.

Whiteboar doodle of a cute, dot-eyed boxy robot with no arms, stick figure legs, a large antenna on its head, and a tail-like electrical plug in the back. It smiles contently while saying "BEEP. BOOP."

This Cozy Li'l Clowny says: "honk." 😊🌯🤡 #DailyDoodle #Clown

Whiteboard doodle of a cutesy, dot-eyed clown with a pink nose contently curled up in a fuzzy pink blanket with fluffy white trim. They quietly say "honk," with a smile.

You schmucks are gonna have to try harder than that - come on, now.

These same four people both like the exact same disconnected replies from completely different threads.

Aw, come on, what'd they ever do to you?

This Sanguine Li'l Seraph hopes: "Maybe IT™ will happen today~!" 👋👼✨ #DailyDoodle #MaybeItWillHappenToday

Whiteboard doodle of a cutesy, dot-eyed cherub floating and waving next to sparkling cursive text that says "Maybe IT will happen today," with "IT" written in a contrasting, straight print font.

Whiteboard drawing of an anthropomorphic canine thief wearing tattered shorts and brandishing a curvy dagger while saying "OI!" with a malicious sneer.

This Unsufferable Li'l Undecided says: "I don't frickin' know, whatevs." 🤔❔😃 #DailyDoodle

Whiteboard doodle of a generic dot-eyed cartoon person with Bart-Simpson-esque hair standing on their heels with a big stupid smile and saying "I don't frickin' know, whatevs."

I'm usually fine with the campy logic of this series, but Mr. Match in BN4 irked me. BN3 has Match betray Lan's trust, launch a terror attack that effects the entire country, nearly kills Lan's father, and gets arrested in a comatose state. In BN4 he casually showed up and Lan was like "Oh, you!"

"And you handle a flame Navi? I don't approve."

Scene from Mega Man Battle Network 4 where Mr. Match talks to Atsuki Homura in the castle during the Eagle tournament.

Meme image of a faux title card for "Oh, You!" with a dog and a human man looking at one another with sarcastic eye rolling smirks.

Please don't.

A post from a fictional Chat BBS in Mega Man Battle Network 4 where a poster named Hide says: "Way cool! I'm gonna try jacking into all kinds of things!"

"Nation X, the infamous military state" sure rings with a different, Musk-y tone nowadays. The brief stop in "NetFrica" ended up tamer than expected. It's still VERY awkward/clunky, but a grab bag of recycled NPCs as villagers is a step above something, y'know... suck-air-through-clenched-teeth-y.

Scene from Battle Network 4 where Dr. Regal arrives at a meeting of scientists. Lan's father, Dr. Hikari, says "From Nation X, the infamous military state..."

Lan in a grassy savanna of "NetFrica" observing some pyramid-shaped mud huts decorated with open-mouthed, masked faces.

BN4’s abrupt shift in overworld sprites took a bit to get used to - I’m nostalgically inclined to think the originals are more endearing, but the new ones are very cute & they use the scale to cram more detail in the environments. Castillo Park was a fun, silly area with a memorable dungeon theme.

Lan standing in his room at the start of Mega Man Battle Network 4. The game has completely new overworld graphics, with a smaller scale for characters.

Lan stands in Dex’s room, which has Japanese style tatami floors and sliding doors. It’s very messy, covered in chip bags, soda cans, and game controllers.

“Castillo’s popular character, WzDog…”

Lan observes a theme park mascot resembling a tan dog in a green wizard robe and witch hat.

“The pirate captain Pook betrays Pater Pon and his friends.”

Lan observes a theme park pirate ship display depicting a scene parodying Peter Pan, complete with flying boy and hooked pirate.

This Frosty Li'l Funkster says: "Ah, ah, ah ah - Shavin' the ice! Shavin' the ice!" 🕺🍧🪩 #DailyDoodle

Whiteboard doodle of a person in disco attire with a cup of multi-color shaved ice for a head, the ice acting as an afro. They are wearing sunglasses, a white disco leisure suit with purple pants, a golden belt buckle with a snowflake icon, and have a comb stuck in their 'hair.'

This Gashed Li'l Gecko says: "It'll grow back... It always grows back... Over and over... and over..." 🦎🔪🥩 #DailyDoodle

Whiteboard drawing of a dot-eyed cartoon gecko with the tip of its tail detached and limp on the ground next to it. "It'll grow back..." says the lizard flatly.

Huh. A sequel to Tenchi Universe in particular stands out since that's very much it's own thing separate from the spiraling mess that the original Tenchi timeline descended into. I haven't seen Universe since the Toonami days though, so my memory of it is an extraordinarily hazy blur.

Cut to the calendar, which has a big "2026" on it.

"Derp-ification Carl" (2010) I can always immediately tell when a drawing is from my "first cheap Wacom in Flash 8" era by the lines. I was *extremely* impatient and rushing through every drawing, but at least I was having fun. "I can draw *directly* into the computer?!" still felt like witchcraft.

Poorly scrawled self portrait doodle I made in Flash way back in July 2010. I have a wall-eyed, dot-pupil expression and a red shirt that says "derp."

This Bluppin' Li'l Bluppo says: "Blup." ✋😮🤚 #DailyDoodle #Buh

Whiteboard doodle of a stout, dot-eyed cartoon person with a disproportionately tall head with their arms outstretched and flatly saying "Blup."

I considered going back to fight the postgame bosses in each game of the first trilogy before I move on, but they all require Mega Man at a certain high level or chip library completion threshold to actually face any of them and I am not a 12-year-old with infinite free time in the early 2000s.
