Redraw (1st) and Old Sketch (2nd) of General Graw wearing Morgan Aensland outfit from Darkstalkers. Yes I know, I will add the wings on his head and back later on đ
I was so not happy with how the old sketch was turning out because unfortunately while I was working on it last year. I got sick with COVID-19, so my energy and focus at that time was pretty weak. When I looked back at the old sketch, I immediately thought âYeah no, this isnât working out. It doesnât feel good enough. How about we just redraw it since now we feel WAY better and more focused?â. Quite honestly, Iâm really happy with the results of the redraw so far and yes, that is a plushie version of Chuck Baker. I had to give him his boyfriend/husband in some form.
Just a little reminder that I do have an art blog đ

Remember if youâre out at a store and someone says âThis is a robberyâ you can say âno itâs notâ and then the robber will leave because theyre a robber and this is no longer a robbery .
You can not just say this without dropping the whole story
Ok so,
My dads coworker is at the front and this man comes Up and hands him a document.
The coworker took a Look at the document and while he couldnât read the things written by Hand, because he wasnât wearing his glases, he did notice the Logo of a different Bank so heâs like:
âOh, sorry sir you canât do that here! You have to go to the other Bank for this :)â
The man, visibly confused leaves, but dosenât take the document with him.
The coworker, now just as confused as the Guy actually Takes Out his glases and reads the hand written part:
This is a robbery
Can you imagine trying to rob a god damn bank and the teller just cheerfully tells you to go rob the competition instead
I worked as a bank teller for several years and a few things you should know, bank robberies happen far more frequently than you might think and they come in waves. When a bank gets robbed a notification with photos goes to all banks in the area to be on the lookout. And there are two kinds of robbery, the pass the note and the takeover (what you see in movies).
So our branch had had a big takeover robbery as well as a note one. We also had a teller that had transferred to our branch after having been through a robbery. She was sweet as apple pie, hair up to the ceiling, southern lady who had just been through multiple robberies.
A guy comes in and hands her a folded note. Her immediate thought was âthis guy needs to learn you donât hand bank tellers notes. I am just not going to read that.â So how the conversation goes:
Her: how can I help you today?
Him: Iâm here to get money
Her: great *hands him a withdrawal slip*
Him: all the information is on the paper
Her: to process the transaction I need you to put it on my piece of paper
SO HE FILLS OUT A WITHDRAWAL SLIP. Meanwhile another coworker is looking at her latest robbery notification email thinking the guy at the window looks a lot like him but the teller is calm and seems to be following standard transaction.
Back at the window the teller notices his name on the withdrawal slip doesnât match the name on the account so she asks for his ID. He once again tells her all the relevant info is on the folded note but also gives her his ID and says it is his dadâs account. She tells him he will need a check from his dad to get cash. He grabs the note and leaves.
ONE HOUR LATER
Two new robbery notifications hit our emails, both branches within a mile. It is our guy. Teller goes over to the manager and sheepishly informs them he was here and the time. Security department is notified as are local police and the FBI. The FBI comes over believing that these poor tellers had been robbed for the 3rd time in a month and take her statement. She is completely embarrassed telling them how everything went down and he kept signaling to the note and telling her to read it but she was just done.
To which this FBI agent of 40 years who has been to the scene of many bank robberies (several at this branch in recent weeks) says: Ok. Let me see if I got this right, he came in fully intending to rob you. He gave you the note and you justâŚrefused to read it? So he left and went to the bank literally across the street, handed them the exact same note, and they just handed him five grand? Do I have that correct?â
Her: I am so embarrassed
FBI: this is best thing I have ever heard. He even handed you his ID! Holy-
Her: I feel so dumb!
FBI: donât! This is the best thing I have ever heard. This is going to be in training courses. (He sat there giddy for at least 5 more minutes)
I have a similar story from my friend Fred, who is a great human and I like him lots.
He was working at a 7-11 that got robbed a lot, working nights. And he was bored and read though his entire contract and learned if youâre shot at work you get $200,000. Also, he hated his boss and the job.
So when a guy came in to rob him at gunpoint he got excited and was able to hatch the plan he had been pondering while dealing with a Shitty Boring Job.
âDude. Shoot me in the leg. Right here- itâll go through and not hit anything vital and Iâll be able to quit this fucking job. Iâll give you fifty fucking grand to shoot me in the leg then you can take everything in the register.â
This ended with him chasing the weeping attempted burglar out of his store screaming âSHOOT ME YOU FUCKING COWARD I WANT THE MONEYâ.
One of my uncles was a branch manager at a local bank when I was a kid. His branch had the dubious honor of being one of- if not the- most robbed bank in the area. There was a bullet hole in the wall behind his desk where heâd been shot at once.
One day, this guy came in and announced he was there to rob the place. This man was smoking a cigar with one hand and had a gun in the other.
My uncle pointed at the âNo Smokingâ sign and told him in no uncertain terms, âPut that cigar out, or finish it outside first.â
This guy, bless his heart, went back outside to finish his cigar.
My uncle locked the door behind him and waited for the cops to show up.
