The Grumpy Ooze by jamesgannon

A friend posted one of those "quizzes" on social media where your birth month and birth day have an adjective and noun respectively attached to it, and matching them up created a name of SOMETHING. The "something" in this case was "the name of the tavern you own". I ended up with "Grumpy Ooze", so I had to draw a quick depiction up. When crafting the ooze, I thought of the standard "slime" characters in role-playing games, but as I never played any games featuring them, my mind went to the little gooey creatures in Zelda II: The Adventure of Link. Those were called Bits (red) and Bots (blue). So I drew this misshapen little jelly thing holding a glass of beer in his extending slimy tendril, coloring it purple as a mixture of blue for sad and red for angry. You'd be a grumpy slime creature seeking solace in the bottom of a keg if you could be defeated with one whack from a lvl. 1 wizard's tree branch.
