Storm Mage

'Ello, chaps! Fancy meeting you all here on this glorious night! I'd offer you something to drink, but I'm not capable of phasing beverages through my side of the screen to wherever all you crazily delightful people are.

So instead, I shall show you this a-wonderful piece of art! My recent creation!

I dub it, STORM MAGE!

And now I remember why I don't draw grass in great detail. It takes FOREVER. And as we know, forever is a very long time.

... But the lightning sure looks cool, huh? I must admit, I kinda got a little carried away with drawing it, but never-mind; still looks pretty good, if I do say so myself.

"Seriously, dude."

Huh. Wasn't expecting to finish that UV picture quite that quickly, but hey, I'll take it! Any excuse to upload another something before Saturday is alright in my book!

 "Harland, I know you mean well and are just trying to be friendly to me, but for your own safety, I'd advise not kissing me right now... Seriously, you have no idea where my mouth's been lately..."

"... Where has your-..?"

"None of your bloody business. Now shut up and hand me that book, we've got stuff to do." 

*****

Situation is quite simple - Ruby spent all of the previous night hunting (stalking people and drinking their blood) and might have accidentally sorta overdid it... No sleep, couldn't stomach breakfast (but sure as heck tried), and going through the day feeling like death.

And Harland trying to flirt with her isn't exactly helping, either... If he doesn't keep his distance (or shut up), there's a high chance he'll be going to the blood bank to make a withdraw very shortly.

ANYWAY... I guess I'll be going back to work, then. Enjoy your week (if that is at all possible), and see you around on Saturday Night! I've sketched up another UV picture, but dunno if I'll be able to outline it or not... Haven't done a complex background in a while, but if worst comes to worse, I'll just colour the sketch and add it in the next post as a bonus. 

See ya~

Eel-like creature mermaid girl thing

HI GUYS! Guess what? I MADE A THING!

... Seriously, though, what is this? Don't get me wrong, it looks GOOD, whatever it is, but I have like... no idea what I've made. A fish monster? Eel mermaid? Hybrid sea-creautre?

... Well, it fits in with the theme of the month, in any case. That's a start, right?

 BTW, expect an UV picture in the next week or so, depending on how much stuff I want on my plate. Ruby related. Ah, that youthful ray of sarcastic sunshine. <3

"I swear, Fang..."

Afternoon, folks! Finally, after... 7 weeks...? Yeah, after seven weeks of delightfully colourful master-pieces, we finally have another Short Story! Unfortunately, I had to move it to be a SNP, but that's besides the point!

"I swear, Fang, if I catch a cold from this, consider yourself dead to me."

"Actually, you don't get colds from getting wet or from the air temperature, you get sick from viruses that-"

"Don't make me put you in the bag, mister."

*****

 Pretty short. Then again, not much else needs to be added. It's already pretty self explanatory, I think... Ruby's going out in a thunderstorm for some *ahem* apparently stupid reason (probably Fang wanted some fresh bread or something), and she's complaining bitterly at why she takes the time to look after the likes of him in the first place.

... I thought it was kinda funny. Needed the practice for rain, in any case. And Ruby sure looks snazzy in that raincoat! 

(I also finally figured out how to draw bags without making them look stupid. I haven't been able to stop adding them into pictures since.)

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...)

Undercover Vamparoo's 3rd Anniversary + NEWS

Heh... Recently took  a look at my calendar, and you'd never guess what I found out.

Undercover Vamparoo's Anniversary. 

TODAY.

Yeah, I know! I was surprised too! A whole three years since I've been posting on this blog!

So I thought it would at least be polite to upload something to celebrate the occasion. A little sketchy, of course, but considering the fact that I just got back from a two-month trip around Europe, I think we can let it slide...

 Yup. The gang just got a little bit bigger. Now besides the original terrible trio, we've now got a chocolate-addicted ball of enthusiastic fury, and a cross-dressing green penguin of AWESOMENESS! 

Seriously, Harland is cool. Honestly can't wait to show more stuff about him, especially with Ruby!

OKAY... now, once you've finished passing around the cake, let's get into a matter I've been meaning to get onto for a literal year now...

----------------------------------

I'm gonna see if I can start writing UV chapters again, but I think I need to ditch using AJ screenshots to illustrate my point... Sure, at the start of this blog it was helpful (heck, even fun), but now that takes way to much time to organize and that's generally not what you want when you trying to do a weekly thing... So, this time around, I'm just going to write the bleedin' thing and ignore trying to add pictures and whatnot.

Oh, don't worry! I'll see if I can add sketches to accompany said writing posts, but don't expect anything too fancy, m'kay?

Comics? Yeah, those aren't going anywhere anytime soon... I seem to have misplaced my motivation for Fraener's Past right now, but don't worry! Whenever I find it again, I'll see through it to the end. After all, Grandma's in there as well, and she has an even more interesting tale to tell!

Hmm... Whatelsewhatelsewhatelsewhatelse... OH YEAH! Random Short Stories will be... well, random, like before, and of course Picture Posts every Saturday Night. You know the drill. 

Thanks to everyone that's stuck around for as long as they have, and likewise to the new guys that just got here and are wondering what the heck is going on and who are these strange abominations that I call Original Characters!

LET THE CARNAGE CONTINUE!

*Raises cutlass in salute to a non-existing flag*

Winter's Mage

Hi! We're now officially home in Australia again, and boy does it feel good to be back! Still a bit tired, but thankfully my sleep-schedule is now (mostly) back on the right track, and (unlike last week) I've got something to post!

Yay, posts!

Sure, a little bit... white, I guess. And empty... Actually, the only reason why I took it as far as I did because of how proud I was of the scarf! Plus, I wanted to draw some snow. It had been a while since I'd done that.

Here's the original sketch, for those that are curious.

UV Sketches

Hi! Remember how I said last week I might post some of my various Undercover Vamparoo sketches? Well... Yeah. Didn't really have much choice in the matter this time, but WHO CARES because you get to see some of my awesome drawings!

Yeah. Just a couple of doodles from various places. Mostly Ruby interacting with the boys, but there's one where Sapphire seems to be, uh... how to say this... 'screeching someone's ear off by telling them how stupid they are'... Yeah, that about sums it up.

And why is Midnight holding a stick of dynamite, some of you more observant readings may ask?

... Good question. But one thing's for certain; it makes more sense than him holding a salad!

[... On a side note, we're now in Singapore! This is the second time I've woken up before dawn and slept in til past lunch-time. This does not bode well for my already horrible sleep-schedule.]

Thunder Griffin

Heya. Sorry for the delay - the internet here in France (or at least at our house) isn't exactly great, so I had trouble loading, like... literally everything.

But it's fine! Here's your weekly dose of cute art from yours truly! A little late, sure, but oh well.

  I'm learning how to draw lightning. Still figuring out some details, but overall I think it looks pretty good so far!

On a side note, I'll see if I can post some of my UV sketches I occasionally tell you guys about. I'm actually quite proud of one or two of 'em, and I'd hate for them to end up being forgotten by me years later...

Jaron the Boffin

Hiya! I've been drawing a lot of ghosty characters this week; here's one of them, in all his sparkling glory!

His name's Jaron the Boffin. Self-proclaimed piano master, and caretaker (or as well as he's able) of the Gloomy Manor.

... It's a Luigi's Mansion thing. And yes, I'm aware he should have a bigger head. Technically. But hey, if I can draw toads heads like hats, I can make ghosts more 'humanish'.

.. The clothes were a bonus. I was feeling classy at the time. Also the hair. Not quite sure why I gave him a pony-tail, but darn does it look cool! <3

Fancy Pink Cat dude

 Hey guys! Sketched about two tons this week, so I was almost completely arted out by the time Saturday came 'round...

... Although, by the fact that you've noticed I've posted something new might've given away the fact that I came through in the end. 

Anyway! Here it is, in all its (fabulous) pink glory!

..........

... Yeah, I've got no other comment. Proceed with your day.

"What'cha doing, cuz?"

Heyo! Did this little piece last week, but I thought some of you guys might be interested... Heck, I even gave it some dialog!

... Yeah, I know! Exciting! Anyway, here it is.

"Heya, cuz!"

"Hello, Sapphire."

"What'cha doing?"

"Mm, Reading."

"Reading what?"

"... Stuff."

"Cool."

"... Are you going to get off me, or...?"

"Nah. Too much work. Besides, your heads comfy."

"Of course."

*******

Just a little scenario I made up in my head. Ruby's reading, Sapphire was wandering around the house being bored, so she stopped by for a second to see what her cousin was doing.

Although, I bet Ruby wishes she would just get off her head... 

Also, this was a good excuse to make Ruby wear something 'house-worthy'.

Uncommon Love

Hi, guys! I finally figured out what to do with Silvester! Y'know, the purple skunk I did a little while ago...? Yes? Good. Yeah, well... I've decided he's dating an owl.

... A Spectacled owl with an English accent, no less!

Meet Phoebe - Literally one of the chillest girls you will ever meet. Also probably one of the most adorable, in my opinion.

... Oh? You're confused by the title? (Assuming you read it)... Actually, probably not considering. Having an owl date a skunk is kinda weird, I'll admit, but it goes a little deeper than that... I might explain it later, but probably not. All you need to know is that this kind of relationship in my world, while not unheard of, is not encouraged.
For more than one reason...

Clement 'Cliff' Swan

Heyo! Sorry for the delay. Completely forgot that I had to post last night, and... yeah. Stuff.

But  better late than never, I guess. Here, have a picture of one of my background teenagers.

I'm calling him Cliff. His real name is Clement,  but I like Cliff more. He's an Aussie swan, by the way. Well, mostly...

Silvester Skunk

Hey! I drew a purple skunk!

I like him. Don't really know what to do with him, but I like him.

Safely arrived in France

Yup. We arrived safely. Should've probably mentioned it sooner, but jet lag made me feel awful for the first day or so, and I didn't feel motivated to get on the internet until recently.

Oh well. Expect stuff to go as usual here, despite the different time change n' stuff.

TO EUROPE, AND BEYOND

Hey... 

HEY!

Guess what? I'm going to Europe for two months!

Yeah, I know. Surprising! But don't worry, that (theoretically) shouldn't mess with my current schedule. In fact, it may even give me more time to do stuff!

I'll let you guys know when I've arrived, and whether or not the plane crashed.

Wish us luck! Or don't... I mean, I suppose it'll be too late by the time any of you regulars see this, so... yeah. 

*Here's hoping I don't get plane sick*

Harland in a dress

Hi, guys! Sorry I haven't been posting Short Stories lately; I've been busy with life and stuff (naturally). That, and I haven't found the inspiration to come up with something that I consider half decent...

But that doesn't mean I haven't been drawing UV at all! Here, check it out!

Harland the penguin has made an appearance again! In a dress, no less. 

I need to start posting more stuff about the UV boys... Even if it's just an art dump of sketches I've done over the week. That could be fun. And it would give me something else to post besides random pictures!

Sleepy Polterpup

Evenin', all! So glad you could join me in this weekly ritual of sharing one of my many random pictures to the small group of people I call the public!

*AHEM*... Anyway. Behold!

Been drawing a lot of Mario related stuff lately; mostly Polterpup and the ghosts from Luigi's Mansion, I'll admit, but still.

I was quite proud on how this sketch came out, so I decided to take it a few steps further - this was the result!

... I guess I needed the practice on animals, anyway.
