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!

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
