Well, that’s it for now. #julikeithot is over for another year
& I have to say that I’ve really enjoyed this challenge. I know I sweated & stressed over a few of the prompts but on the whole I’ve enjoyed it.
Really looking forward to #julikeithot2026 now 😃
My next challenge is #inktober2025
A blue abstract created using a blue patterned triangular prism shape
A blue pattern I created using a patterned triangular prism shape
Had a lot of fun creating these prism patterns.
I’ve still got the original shape I used so I might do something else with it later on

A picture of a black totem pole decorated with eyes, skulls and vampire fangs. It stands against a blue night sky backdrop, with a bright fire burning above it
It’s said that this totem pole was a gift to the Nightmare Demon many years ago
and whoever touches any of the skulls on it will be cursed for eternity….

A picture depicting an autumnal scene with a field and some trees. It’s early September, though, so days are still hot when the sun’s up. A young man sits underneath the tree in the foreground. He’s reading a book. I coloured the whole landscape in different shades of yellow and brown to reflect autumn as a season
It’s early September so the sun’s still hot
Sooooo….

A digital painting of a girl with long dark brown hair & bright blue eyes. She’s wearing an orange shirt & pale yellow cowboy hat with a burgundy ribbon around the brim. The top of her hat is very surreal looking, with 2 flights of stairs on either side. A young man dressed in black trousers & yellow t-shirt is seen running up the stairs on the left hand side of the girl’s hat. The background depicts a deep summer blue sky with clouds on the horizon.
This is Mona. She’s trying on a brand new hat
but she doesn’t realise that someone’s running upstairs in a hurry….

A turquoise blue flying saucer hovers above a black and orange planet which I created using text (the planet’s surface is made of lots of little number 1s and 0s) This is the original version. Without stars
A turquoise blue flying saucer hovers above a black and orange planet which I created using text (the planet’s surface is made of lots of little number 1s and 0s) This is the 2nd version. With stars
Even though I’ve used text in art before, I’ve never actually used text to create stuff.
Had loads of fun with this one though

This is a picture frame I created for the Julikeithot challenge.There’s lots of orange and yellow sand and some palm trees. There’s lots blue above the palm trees is actually the sea. The white oval in the middle is actually supposed to be blank cos that’s where your picture would go

Meet my new original character, Brian Bumble Bee. He’s a 16 yr old who just loves being out on his bike. He’s wearing a shiny blue helmet and his body is covered in brown and yellow stripes like a regular bumblebee. In the picture, you can see the front of his bike, all shiny and red

A cartoon of a little rhinoceros girl called Amy hugging her big brown teddy bear. Amy is on the left of the picture. She’s wearing a red dress with white collar & cuffs. Her teddy is wearing a purple bow tie around his neck. Amy is the youngest of the Rhino family I created for Inktober 2024. She’s only 2 years old
Little Amy Rhino sooooo loves her teddy bear…. 🧸🧸

Sunrise over a busy city. A few pink & purple clouds add patches of colour to an otherwise orange sky. The sun is low on the horizon, adding a golden glow to the city skyscrapers. The main road that heads towards the sun isn’t too busy at the minute (I guess it’s not rush hour just yet), but there are a few cars there. Patches of green in the foreground suggest trees.

A little bit of #aiart for #julikeithot2025day13

A cartoon rhinoceros called Billy is dressed as a private detective. He’s wearing a thick white woollen sweater & long grey overcoat. The whole outfit is topped off with a matching grey hat & pair of shades. He’s holding a magnifying glass. The Rhino Family (Billy, his wife Margaret & kids Oliver & Amy) are my original characters. They were originally created for Inktober 2024 but I decided to bring them in to Julikeithot 2025

A yellow sun shines in the sky. Below the sun is the peak of a mountain. The mountain is yellow cos it reflects the colour of the sunlight

View of sunset through a study window. The right side of the window is partially covered by a net curtain. 3 books are on the desk. The huge thick book is dark blue in colour. Beneath it are 2 other books. One red & one green SHORT STORY He was supposed to be revising for exams, but the books remained unopened. They just sat there, lifeless, on the desk in front of him. Toby picked up a book. He tried to concentrate on it, but his mind kept wandering. All he could think of was her. Ashleigh. That last night they were together. The night before her accident. He put the book down and just sat there at his desk. His sad eyes gazed at the evening sun. Purple hues filled the sky as the sun sat just above the hilltop. Toby wiped away a tear. He couldn’t stop thinking about that night. How he’d messaged her earlier that day and asked if she fancied a curry or pizza. Her reply was “Pizza. meet u at the plaza at 7” She never got there. Driving home from work in the pouring rain, poor Ashleigh lost control of her car. It skidded off the road, down an embankment and crashed into a tree. Although Ashleigh survived, her injuries were life-changing. She was once so independent, but now she needs a whole team of people to do even the simplest things. One thing Ashleigh is, though, is a fighter. This is just another battle that the warrior inside her has to face and she wants to do it with Toby by her side. Toby doesn’t think he can do it, though. He doesn’t think he’s strong enough. As he wipes away another tear, he realises that he’s got a lot to think about.
A dreamy sunset for #julikeithot2025 days 7 & 8

A full moon shines in a deep blue night sky with a few clouds on the horizon. A mischievous desert spoon steals a violin from a cat. The cat is angry and so is the dish. They’re both jumping up and down in sheer anger. The laughing spoon jumps over a stream to get away from them. I based this drawing on the nursery rhyme The Cat And The Fiddle
A children’s theme for #julikeithot2025day6

It’s a dark and stormy night. Lightning streaks across the purple sky just above the silhouette of an aqueduct. The whole thing is reflected in the water below.

We had an amazing thunderstorm a few days ago, so the inspiration for this one came from that

A male European robin sits on a branch against a cloudy sky. He’s on the lookout for food so he can feed his family The branch he’s sitting on is light yellow in colour cos it’s reflecting the sun shining on it
We have a family of robins living in our back garden at the minute.
This is the dad. I decided to do a quick sketch of him for #julikeithot2025day3

A pretty surreal picture of what looks like a beautiful wooden casket on a desk surrounded by books & candles. The casket is decorated with blue jewels reflecting the light. The casket is open. Inside the casket is a medieval looking fairytale scene, with a castle surrounded by mountains & deep blue night sky. A little bit of white behind 4 of the castle turrets suggests that the moon is shining
Thought I’d try a little bit of #aiart for #julikeithot2025day2

A musical box stands open on a table, with a little ballerina figure dancing inside the box. Musical notes appear at both the left and right hand sides of the box. Behind the box is an abstract “night sky” background in colours of blue, purple and white. The background has stars and bright moonlight. The background is reflected both in the mirror in the box and on the table’s surface.
