Every Cloud has a silver lining, and every Storm has it's rainbow

 Right. First Saturday in a new house. I am not emotionally available for comment or random thoughts at the front of my mind, so have some art I made the day before the movers came and carted all our heavy stuff to the new place instead.

This is like... what? the fourth time I've made art like this featuring my Inside Out kids? Like, the kind where you turn the art upside down and...? yeah. Fourth time I believe.

I have a feeling I'll be drawing a lot more of my brain kiddies over the next few weeks, so lets make some new memories shall we? (hopefully not all of them will be blue/purple XD)

Some good boys

 Head empty. Heart full. Full of what? Mostly nostalgia and melancholic feelings about moving out of the only house I've ever lived in. And two boys which honestly have no right to be as adorable as they are, yet here they are. Breaking the law and looking cute while they do it.

Their matching cat phone charms on their weapons is the thing that makes me smile the most to be honest. And the fact Isaac (the black one) is the one responsible for buying them makes me smile even more.

Dorks, the both of them.

Fairy characters from a story that hasn't even been named yet BUT HERE WE GO ANYWAY-

 *thunks head against wall*

I thought the D&D inspired story using all my Inside Out emotions was bad enough, but noooooo my brain decided that it wanted FAIRY versions of all my emotions next.

And now I've got a fantasy post-apocalyptic story about fairies disappearing and freaking out about magic dying or whatever. Just what I needed.

AND WORSE YET I've even started making character designs for some of these nerds based on the vibes I've had less than a week dwelling with! What is this rubbish??

Seriously tho, I am enjoying myself way too much and you have no idea how much fun it is drawing little people with wings in the most pastel and softest colors I can imagine. And I might even have a plot for this story (thanks to my dearly beloved twin)

I'mma go write it down before I forget cuz good grief the vibes compel me so much and I'm not certain I'm about to derail all my other art projects and chase down this one instead.
We'll see.

Euphemia (Sadness) concept sketches

 Right! The month of July is now firmly underway, and I have been doing my best to participate and not burn out for this year's Art Fight festivity.
I've actually caught myself before burning out completely at least twice this week, which is better than what I did last year so I think this means I'm doing good. I'll try to keep this pace up until I reach 15 attacks (and then I'll obsessively try to double my score once I've met my 'quota', just you wait and see-)

Nah, but even if I've been busy fighting innocent strangers and throwing my art at them, I've made sure to work on my own personal projects this year. And since the thing that compels me most is "Ninjago" and "Bells, Books and Candlelight" (that's what I'm calling my DnD inspired medieval world where the main characters are based off my IO Emotions) safe to say I've been having fun when on my downtime.

I think out of all the characters so far in BB&C I think I need to plot Euphemia's role in the story a little more. She's mostly there to provide moral support to the other characters, but since she is the reason why the world of magic is about to get turned on it's head I feel like she deserves something very big and dramatic to deal with personally.
Besides the whole "excommunicated from everything she's known and loved" of course. But that's just her tragic backstory, not necessarily her mission for life.

Eh, this is early development stages. I've got time to figure things out.

Until then though, gonna rest a little more than get back to drawing for AF. *finger salute* Catch ya'll later folks

Bells, Books and Candlelight (character concept art)

 Well, for the first time in almost 6 months, I draw something that's not Ninjago! A true novelty, and something that I'm not sure how I feel about at the moment.

Apart from pleased I could finally make some concept sketches of a few characters I've been thinking of for years, of course XD

Yeah, these guys might be based off my Inside Out emotions (the body shapes, the colors, the personalities), but they've kinda got their own deal going on and one day I hope to share their weird magical adventure of getting excommunicated from everything they've known for the sake of following their moral compasses, beliefs and individuality.

It's a good time, and full of anecdotes of my own experiences in various things.
We'll see if this goes anywhere in the future tho.
