Here's Ghostie's Father, Peter Szellem! Pete For Short. He Works At A Construction Company, Specifically
Here's Ghostie's father, Peter Szellem! Pete for short. He works at a construction company, specifically in demolition—using the help of some explosive bell-like creatures called Belbies to bring old buildings down safely and securely. Fortunately, demolition work on Pequan Island is sparse enough that he doesn't need to worry about not spending enough time with his son.
Much like Ghostie, Pete's based on the other built-in ghost sprite from Game Maker V6, a blue ghost with a... not sure if it was meant to be buck teeth or a moustache, but a few black pixels of something around the mouth area that wouldn't look right as a full-on character. And, again much like Ghostie, over the years his eyes have changed, he gained mitts, and now has a tail.
Pete is a good father, or at least he tries to be. One thing he loves most is just sitting down and hearing whatever's been exciting his son recently. Even if he doesn't understand it, if his son's happy, then he's happy.

Pride cometh before the fall.
(Don't worry, Cole was okay. But his forklift certification was revoked.)
And a variant that doesn't have Cole's gloating in the way:
Hornet's looking a little different today...
(I really should play Hollow Knight more.)
And now to share another of my childhood obsessions, Bionicle! This series was my favorite growing up, and making sprite comics for BZPower was one of my first forays into creative works. Shown above are three pieces from back in the graphite-only sketchbook days, those being my interpretation of 06's Velika, a Visorak spider walking across a web, and Hafu working on the crossroads you see him at in MNOLG. Even made sure the dates were written in Matoran script for that extra flair!
Here's Terrance hard at work, tearing up an old street to make way for new pavement!
It takes a lot of practice to do this without scratching nearby buildings with his free claws, or making imprints in them with his tail.
