Ru and Fang sketches

Out of all the things I did yesterday, I can't believe I forgot to post on my blog.
 But a day late is still better than a week late, so let me just do this before I forget again-

There. A good gal with her funny little spider.

And now I will wander off and continue with the rest of my day.

8 years of this blog and my weekly shenanigans

 Ay. So, out of all the things I was expecting this week, becoming overwhelmed with life's trivial challenges was not one of them XD But! Despite those little setbacks, I managed to create what I wanted. It might not be clean or pretty, but it's mine and I think it sums up the mood of this very special day adequately.

 

Since it UV's 8th anniversary, I figured it'd be appropriate to draw our favorite dragon-spider getting a special-... *squints closer* birthday sandwich? Sandwiches. It's clearly just a lot of individual sandwiches stacked on top of each other with candles jammed into any corner that would take 'em. But it's festive! Who doesn't love eating a flaming tower of bread with thin slices of savory fruit, meat and cheese in it? XD Fang would! And he is! <3
Haha ahh... seriously though. It's nice seeing this dork again.

But that wraps it up for this year's little dedication to the blog that has seen me through all my teenage years and beyond. I'll keep trotting along and throw my art on here every week as usual, rain, hail, snow or sun. Or tornado. I hope there won't be any tornadoes, but if there are I'll still do my best and give you something nice to look at! It is my pleasure and duty to do so after all! <3 And it's a habit that's harder to break than keep, so why not! XD
*Raises sandwich high in the air like a cocktail* Cheers, y'all! Enjoy your day, and I wish you all the best in your journeys! Hope to see you all next year <333

Fang and Sino (sketches)

Hi, all! You had a good week? I think mine was good. It's hard to tell between the bursts of anxiety and hyper-fixation burnouts, but y'know. *shrug* Pretty sure it was good.
I have no idea what I'm doing. The novelty and hyper-focus for the new project is helping. But after another week or two it'll get harder, but maybe I'll have a solid outline by that point.. In any case, despite the struggle, I'm having a lot of fun. And I'm excited, despite the nervousness.

If I hadn't been so focused on work, I might've put some effort into my Saturday Picture tonight. But I was, and the only thing I drew that wasn't my comic was some arachnid kids. So...

Yeah. That's all you're getting this week.
Enjoy the fluffy spiders. I'm out!
Hope you're all doing okay, and I wish you a good weekend. :)

It's Friday Afternoon, not Saturday Night... *shock*

 Okay, so I just started doing my drawing exercises a literal minute ago and I'm now crying.
I have no idea why this keeps happening. I've been crying almost all week any time I try to draw something.

It's now been three weeks, brain. I have Things to Do. I don't want to take another week off because you feel like any frustration is intolerable, so you shut everything down...
This isn't fun.

I have Things to Do!

(...)

These two drawings were the only things I could manage this week. I don't mind them, but I don't love them either.
I literally can't do better than this.

I'm tired of crying when there's work to be done.
If this happens for a 4th week in a row I'm calling fowl.

Sandwich-Interuptus

*MunchMunchMunch*

"..."

"What?"

 

Fang the toy-maker

 Hello! Wow. Pretty good week for me. I dunno about you guys, but overall? Pretty good week.

Not too stressed, not too boring, got a bit of drawing done (even a bit on paper), and a fair bit of other stuff... It's been nice. :)

Also decided to outline a little sketch I did last week, which was pretty cool. Liked how it turned out, too!

Been thinking about Fang these past few days. Kinda tempted to talk about him for a bit too, because honestly I think I need to sort out some thoughts I've been having about him...

OKAY so for anyone who needs a bit of a recap, basically Fang used to be a Dragon who got kicked out of his family (might rethink that part now that I'm looking back) and eventually ended up running into an immortal kangaroo lady who HATES dragons... AKA, Grandma (Ruby's 'guardian/adoptive grandmother)

Fang, being kinda shocked at being treated like dirt (because HELLO?? He's a friggin' DRAGON HERE!! Show some respect), sticks around with her only because a) she intrigues him and b) she's the first non-dragon creature who hasn't fled in fear of him or tried to drain him of all his blood and steal his eyeballs or teeth or whatever...

(This is probably why Dragon's don't get out much)

Anyway. Grandma lets Fang stay with her (after trying to kill him a few times... NOT to get his blood, just kill him. Totally different) and after a while they learn more about each other. Why he's here, what happened to him, what happened to her, how did she become immortal - basic stuff.

And eventually Fang requested that, for his safety, he be transformed into a less suspicious creature (because he got BIG after a few dozen years... not what you want when you're trying to hide), and she agreed to try.

Long story short, Grandma transformed Fang into a little anthropomorphic spider, and he ends up becoming forever bound to her because "Aw DANGIT I'm a spider now! This isn't going to get people to stop trying to kill me! UGH I'm not even BIG anymore, THIS IS THE WORST THING THAT COULD'VE HAPPENED TO ME!". So she [reluctantly] looks after him.

Almost 80 years later Fang is still stuck with Grandma. He still complains bitterly about his current form, but has gained a sense of humor and has grown fond of domestic life (if only because of all the sandwiches he gets to eat.. don't get much of those in the wild).

Obviously I skimped out on a whole buncha details, but this is the main gist of Fang's history.

I'm going to sign off now before I start ranting about Grandma. So... yeah.

GOODNIGHT PEOPLE! I hope me talking about a small fuzzy idiot spider hasn't bored you, and I'm looking forward to see you all again next week! :)

Dark Fang

WOW. Good week. Like, really good! Not perfect, but... WOW. Motivation for projects you actually want to work on is a good feeling!

I was originally gonna show you something else, but seeing how well this came out (for something that was supposed to be a simple warm-up) I decided to post this instead.

Besides, it's Fang! Who doesn't love this calculated ball of idiotic sandwich-eating genius? :)

(BTW Probably gonna post some more OverKill sketches in the next week or bit. Almost definitely, considering the pace I'm going!)

Anthropomorphic Fraener

Good evening, gentlemen! Awesome to see you all here on this glorious night! You all well? Yes? No? Depends? Could be worse? Mind my own business...?

Well, whatever you feel, I hope you at least appreciate the fact that I took time out of my week to draw this epic art-piece instead of writing!

(Not a complaint, mind you)

I thought it was about time I drew Fraener again. Been thinking about it for months, now, and after last week's Fang picture, I decided now would be a good a time as any! 

It's been a while, old chap

Hello! Guess what? Yeah, I wrote about over 1500 words this week in total. Pretty good considering I've barely made 400 words in the past actual YEAR... 

I think we're finally getting somewhere, people!

So, yeah... Didn't really draw that much this week. BUT, thankfully there's always the one guy I can resort to if I'm unprepared!

I needed to draw some Fang-y cuteness. I clearly don't draw enough of this guy... How can I tell?

 The majority of you guys still scream when a spider crawls up your shirt.

(Dang, I really need to draw up a Short Story Picture soon... Been a while since I've done a proper background, and BOY do I have ideas! Curse you brain for not cooperating...)

Anzac special

I guess it's that time of year again - Anzac Day.

I wanted to do a little picture because... well, because I could, and I did. It may not be big, but I had fun drawing it.

 ... Yes, Fang is indeed dreaming of  Anzac cookies.

Oh, just a heads up, I'm skipping tomorrows post because I need to catch up on my secret project (I only have so many months before It's due), so... yeah.

B4 Ch1 extra

Meanwhile, above the salty waters of the ocean and high above in the clouds...

----------

Barak: Fang, we lost the boat!

Barak the Dragon, along with Fang the spider (Ruby's pet), were confused upon where on earth the ship that was carrying their friends had gotten to.

And Barak was starting to panic....

Barak: We can't have gotten lost, could we Fang?

Fang: No, I don't think so, hatchling...

Barak: Do you think something happened to them?

Fang: How am I suppose to know? I'm just a poor useless spider!

Barak: You are not!

Fang: Have you taken a good look at me lately?

Barak: Well, yes... But-... You're not!

Fang sighed patted his one of his feet against Barak's scales.

Fang: Yes, I am. Now don't argue with your elder and land somewhere - Maybe your theory is right, and something did happen while we are away...

The green Dragon slowly dived through the clouds, and landed on a nearby island. Fang scurried down his tail and jumped into the soft warm sand.

Barak: Where are they, Fang?

Fang: If we knew that, we wouldn't have lost them.

Barak: Suppose the ship sank?

Fang: ... Maybe. But by what?

Barak: A raging octopus?

Fang: Don't be silly, Barak. I highly doubt it was an octopus!

Barak: Sharks?

Fang: Probably not.

Barak: ... Aren't there any Sea Creatures in the area?

Fang: Possibly. But even if they are some, it's not in their nature to attack passing ships...

Fang thought hard for about a minute before speaking again.

Fang: ... I think we should investigate.

Barak: How?

Fang: You're a Dragon, so you have gills to survive underwater for at least a few hours!

Barak: What about you?

Fang cantered across the sandy beach until he picked up a small shell. He then scurried up a nearby coconut tree, ripping a piece of bark and jumping back down.

The spider then spat a glowing green poison onto the shell, and pointed to the wood.

Fang: Create a small yellow ember, please.

Barak: How?

The spider sighed and tapped one of his arms to his chest.

Fang: It's a bit hard to explain, but basically you need to feel some kind of warm spark in your chest, right on top of your heart. Then take a deep breath, and blow slowly...

Barak: How do I get this feeling?

Fang: I'm not a Dragon, so how would I know?

Barak thought for a bit before taking a deep breath and breathed gently onto the piece of bark. A little yellow flame formed. Fang put the small shell on to of it, and waited.

Barak: Uh... Why are we doing this?

Fang: I'll need a protective charm if we're going to explore the ocean properly.

Barak: You know how to make one?

Fang: No.

Barak: Uh... sorry, but it looks like you do.

Fang: I don't. I just remember Grandma telling me how to make a sea charm, so I'm trying to copy her instructions...

Barak: But you don't need a sea charm!... Don't you?

Fang: I'm a spider. Spiders are meant to stay in trees, bushes, houses and burrows. We do not belong in the sea!

Barak: Oh.

Fang: ... It's almost sunset. It's dangerous to go into the sea at night.

Barak: Why's that?

Fang: Because whatever took everyone on that ship, is probably waiting for another victim. It's better to be safe then sorry.

Barak: Ok. So... Should we...?

Fang: Yes, you may get something to eat.

Barak: Yay!

The green Dragon bounded off happily in search for something to eat.

*****

I thought you'd like to know where Barak was... So, basically, he and Fang were scouting ahead to check where they were going, and... yeah. When they returned, no ship in sight.

And what's this? Fang is actually smart enough to know how to create a Sea charm? Convenient...

 ... This looked a lot better in my mind, but meh. I love drawing cute Barak, sitting by a small fire in hopes of gaining great knowledge from the all powerful Fang the spider!

... Ok, maybe not, but still cute.

Bk2 Ch.8 Dark Sun Mountain -part3

Out of nowhere, Barak grabbed the staff and flew up into the clouds.

Mr Stonecloud: Curses! The Dragon has the Ultimate Defense! Open fire at the sky!

But before they could obey, Barak dived toward earth at high speed. He landed with a crash, causing the ground to shake like an earthquake, making everyone fall down.

Barak: Quick! Put a moon crystal onto the staff!

Ruby shakily got a moon crystal out of her bag, but Midnight caught her leg before she could get closer to Barak.

Midnight: What about Sapphire?

Ruby: What about her?

Midnight: She's an UnMythic! What will happen if we activate the defense?

Ruby stood frozen, unsure of what would happen.

Sunshine: It's the only way we can survive! Hurry, or they'll stop us and we'll be driven out!

Ruby: B-but... what happens if we do?


Sunshine: Every UnMythic close to the staff when activated will be killed. For those further away, they will be driven to the brink of madness - unable to do anything but run as far as their legs can carry them!

Midnight: So Sapphire will get unalived?!

Ruby: I can't do this! Sapphire is family! I can't-

Sapphire: Forget about me, guys! Just save the Vampires from certain chaos!

Midnight: We're not murderers! We won't do this!

Sapphire: You can, and you will. Just be selfish for once - it's easy! Us Unmythics have acted like jerks towards your people from the very beginning, always wanting more than we really needed. WE DESERVE IT. So listen to Sunshine and DO IT.

Fang: It's true - they do.

When Ruby still didn't move, Sapphire groaned, made a shaky walk over to her, and snatched the crystal from her.

Ruby: Hey! What do you think you're-

Sapphire: If you can't do it, then I'll do it for you. Barak, get your tail over here!

With hesitation, Barak jumped forward to Sapphire.

Ruby: Sapphire, NO!!!

Mr. Stonecloud: Listen, kid. Think about what you're doing for half a second! We can rule this island with an iron fist!

Midnight: Shut up, Rockysky. You have no say in this!

Sapphire sighed, before facing Ruby.

Sapphire: Ruby. I have something to say to you...

Ruby locked eyes with Sapphire, waiting.

Sapphire: ... I hope you win this stupid war. That is all.

Sapphire jammed the moon crystal onto the ultimate defense, and in an instant a huge shock wave pushed all of the UnMythics (except Sapphire) back, throwing them off the mountain.

Ruby rushed up to Sapphire, who was somehow still standing after the violent wave had shot outwards. She looked around, cautiously.

Sapphire: ... Was I supposed to feel something? Am I dead? It doesn't feel any different from being alive.

Ruby: SAPPHIRE! YOU'RE ALIVE!!!

Ruby went up for a hug, but Sapphire stopped her.

Sapphire: Nope! None of that here. But... seriously, I'm not supposed to be here. Can someone explain?

Sunshine: ... No... I really can't.

Fang coughed a bit, and stepped forward.

Fang: If I may be so bold-

Ruby: No, but go on.

Fang: -... Maybe Barak's bite did something to Sapphire's blood?

There was a stunned silence. Sapphire turned to Barak, who was slightly cowering behind Midnight.

Sapphire: Barak, what did you do to my perfect UnMythic genes? Not that I liked them, but I'd like to know what happened.

Barak: W-well... I... I don't know!

Midnight: What do you mean? Aren't you the mostly knowing Dragon Champion?

Ruby: Titles mean nothing, Midnight.

Barak: Fang told me to bite S-Sapphire, so I did! I don't know why!

Ruby: FANG?!

Ruby turned towards the small spider, who seemed to not have noticed his owner's hostility towards him.

Fang: Oh, yeah! Did you know a Dragon's bite has magical effects on UnMythics, turning them into Mythics? Convenient for the plot, eh? (even though you guys wont have a clue on what I'm talking about)

Everyone stared at Sapphire, a bit shocked.

..........

*... I was seriously considering killing off Sapphire from the entire story, so be happy I've spared her life. But don't expect me to be so loving the next time someone's in danger. I am the Author - I have the power of this world's cosmos in my laptop*

Regular Saturday night post

Hi guys! I... don't have anything important or interesting to say, so just have this and face palm.

YOUR WELCOME, INTERNET!

Fang wants a hug

Good day, folks. So... I recently got a drawing pad for my laptop, and with it a new art program besides my "Pokemon Art Academy" game. I'm still trying to tame it, but I drew this because... well, because I could and would.

FUN FACT

-----

Did you know Fang is based off of a Ceratinopsidis formosa? (say that five times in a row) And if you look at his back and head, he'll have a similar (but not quite) pattern to a Red back Spider.

... Ok, I'm guessing not many of you actually wanted to know that... but it's me were talking about. I like spiders! (It's the only reason why Fang is in Undercover Vamparoo at all! Or is he?!)

Teatime with... Fang

Sorry for the lack in posts, but I painted a picture!

Yeah... An average night for Fang's crazy life.

Ch.6. Fang is Useful - part.2

Ruby and Midnight rushed towards Mrs Redleaf's class, when Ruby suddenly stopped in front of the door.

Midnight: Why did we stop? Forgot the way to the class?

Ruby: No. But if we want to learn all their secrets, wouldn't it be better if we just split up? We could learn more that way, and find more weaknesses quicker!

Midnight: You have a point. But where should I go? It's not like I know this place like the back of my hand or anything...

Ruby: Do what I did! Find a door with a lot of kids through it! It isn't THAT hard, Y'know.

Midnight: Catch you later, then?

Ruby: Right back atcha!

Midnight dashed down the hall to search for another classroom. Ruby entered Mrs. Redleaf's class and took a seat just as the class was starting.

Mrs. Redleaf: Good morning, class! Remember, Tomorrow is our Science excursion! But we need to vote on where we're going to go. Who votes for...

Just then, Mr. Stonecloud banged the door open and yelled for attention. Everyone looked at him in surprise.

Mrs. Redleaf: Mr. Stonecloud, do you have a announcement for my class?

Mr. Stonecloud: I do. Last night, some thieves broke into the restricted part of the library, and stole something valuable! 'They' didn't get more than a glimpse of the thieves, but 'they' suspect them to be shape-shifting monsters! If ANYONE sees something strange, report back to me.

Mr. Stonecloud slams the door behind him and stomps off to his class.

Mrs. Redleaf: Now children. Who votes for us to go to the Rainbow Waterfalls?

Meanwhile, Midnight walks into a class full of comfy chairs and pillows. A tan colored arctic wolf looks up from the blackboard, and smiles at Midnight.

Mrs. Breeze (Tan arctic wolf): Hallo, lad! You're new here, aintcha? My name's Mrs. Breeze. Please! Take a seat an' we'll get class a-started!

Midnight sat down on a beanbag and waited for the strange teacher to start class. Just then, the door opened, and some kids walked into the room. One of them looked at Midnight, and didn't look that pleased.

Richard (Gray Leopard): What do you think you're doing there? That's my seat!

Midnight: Really? I didn't see any names. Unless your name's beanbag, I'm not moving!

Richard: You must have nine lives - otherwise, why would you challenge me?

Midnight: I'm not afraid to fight someone like you!

Richard: You think you're sooo tough...

Mrs. Breeze: Enough! Richard, I'm ashamed of you. Ye should know bettah' then to make trouble wi' someone new to this here school! Now, sit down somewhere else! It won't be t' end of thee world if ye sit somewhere else.

The class laughed at Mrs. Breeze's joke as Midnight smirked as Richard and his gang took other seats, and they glared back in return.

Mrs. Breeze: Right - time t' get started on t'adjectives, and how t' spell t' wee mongrels!

Midnight: (thinks to himself) 'Yawn' - boring!  Well, at least the chairs are comfy...

And so the morning passed at Golden Forests School with the Vamp pair learning very little that was new.

Fang: (to the Narrator)  So why did you put us in these classes then?

Narrator: What?

Fang: (to the Narrator) Well, we're stuck here, the plot isn't progressing, there's no sandwiches in sight, and lunch is just around the corner!

Narrator:  Ah ha!  Don't get bored yet wee Fang - you will have to save the day shortly!

Fang:  Oh dear.
