Vampire Wife with Fashionable Husband (10/10 Would Marry)

 This week has been an odd mix of activities for me. I got out of the house twice in two days (which is very social for me), watched two movies (also pretty weird for me) and spent a good amount of time doing odd house chores? But not much drawing.

So. On the one hand, it feels like my week has been packed. On the other hand, it feels like I've done next to nothing. No big drawing projects or a pile of fun sketches to show off... Practically nothing.
But if I tick off this week as a 'holiday from serious drawing' I think I can get away with it. *hopeful thumbs up*

But yeah.
Still didn't change the fact that I needed to draw something for my weekly art post.
But thankfully, as I was doing some drawing exercises on Friday, I drew something kinda sweet and thought "Huh. Ruby and Harland would be pretty fitting to draw in that position. But aw man, it's for human proportions..."
"Wait."
"I can still work with that..."

And about an hour or so later I had this on my hands.

My favorite penguin and kangaroo couple! But humanized! <3

 I've never ever drawn any of the UV cast as humans before. Which sounds odd, but I guess it's something I'd never considered trying to do?
Mostly because my characters being animals play a huge part in the grand scheme of literally everything. Why it's such a big deal for Ruby to marry someone who's not one of her species; why having hybrid children can be amazing or terrible, depending on the parents or magic blood; why some magical species are going extinct because of inbreeding or mixing too much... etc etc.

But! I still think this is pretty neat. For what it's worth.

Obviously, if I was to draw them like this again, I'd want to fix/improve on some details... but that's not important.

I'm content with what I've created. It was a neat experiment. It brought my joy for a little while. :)
Best odd couple! <3

The Boys

Hey.
Guess who finally drew something that wasn't pokemon yesterday?
*bright neon sign flashing on and off above head*

It's me.
I was the one who finally drew something that wasn't pokemon.

 And even better, it's UV related!
I manage to draw some good boys with some good kids!
Overall, it's a good day in AppleTown. :)

It's times like this where I realize that most people are going to look at these characters (more specifically Harland and Vincent DeathDancer) and go "Oh! Look at these lovely green girls!" while I'm in the background snickering like "Yes, those dudes are indeed very lovely."
What started as a perfectly innocent joke when I was but a wee lass has turned into a perfectly innocent running joke which I love to bits.

I dunno. I just adore seeing guys in dresses and skirts.

Reginald is at least wearing a kilt. Very masculine. No mistaking him for female. (Probably)
Flavio is the only one who you don't immediately second-guess yourself on what gender he is.
Until he starts brainwashing you. Then you start doubting yourself! XD

The background was a bit of a surprise. Wasn't planning on doing that when I started drawing this. But I did.
Didn't turn out too bad, I think.

Anyway it's almost 8pm now so I gotta go.
Hope you guys have a nice weekend! May you end up being less stressed than you started!
*salutes myself out*

Cyrus!Giratina

Aaaand I'm back with another Pokemon sketch from my Archives! Yay.
I would've made something not pokemon if I could've... Really! I would've. I did try! And it ended with me being sad for a few minutes and then giving up and resuming drawing Team Magma.

I can't tell if I'm digging my own hole deeper every day, or if my hyper-focus ability is always being redirected to something similar but just different enough to keep my imagination chugging along happily so that it FEELS like I'll never draw anything but Pokemon ever again...

???
Who knows.
I'm not gonna let it upset me that much though. I am enjoying having an interest lasting for longer than a week or two. And I think I've gotten better at drawing human faces because of it.
Like... not useful? For UV? But still a skill that I've neglected over the years.

Anyway. Here's what I managed to draw yesterday.

I've never really paid much attention to Cyrus before (mostly because there were so many other Pokemon Villains I had my attention on) but he's been growing on me slowly over the past few weeks.

Giratina was my favorite legendary from Sinnoh, though (I love that good centipede dragon! <3) so when I made the decision to draw this sad nerd... - possessed? I'm gonna say possessed - possessed by Giratina it was a lot of fun.
And it was a whole lot easier than drawing Maxie!Groudon or Archie!Kyogre.

Love Maxie and Archie very much, but out of the three of them Cyrus was the easiest for me to draw.
He just hit all the right sweet spots... None of this wearing weird wetsuits or having three layers of clothing and LEGGINGS, Maxie. *pfft* Dork. :)

Screaming into the Air Conditioned Void

 Hello there! I have no idea how much time I have tonight, and because I completely forgot to prepare anything yesterday afternoon, I'm speed-running this just in case I have to be called away to do other things...

Basically tho, I hadn't really drawn anything impressive this week, so I'm doing what I predicted I was going to have to resort to last week...
Which is post another of the drawings I made last week.

But that's okay, I guess.
Could be worse. :)

 The only reason why I drew all of this was because I wanted someone to be screaming into an electric fan. Because the way your voice distorts when you do that is a lot of fun, and seemed like something Maxie's Jigglypuff would love to do.

Love that little heavy-singing puffball. 

Also drawing windy hair is a lot of fun. Need more practice doing it, definitely, but I think it's a cute look on Courtney.
Pasta's lil' blep tongue brought me joy too...
