Holiday Hiatus

 This is just a quick official notice stating that I'm going to be taking the next few weeks off posting and stuff.

I'll probably start up again after Christmas or new years', but till then I hope you guys enjoy your holidays! :)

IT'S SNOWING!!!

Now that 2018 is officially on it's last month, IT'S TIME TO PROPERLY CELEBRATE THE DEATH OF THE YEAR!

... Bit jerky, but with an upper limit of only 24 frames, I think I did pretty good job!

Mud Hill Twins

 Hello. Not much today I'm afraid, but considering how busy and stressed I've been this week, that doesn't surprise me.

Ah well..

Least I managed to do a cool space background without much difficulty!

That's always nice. :)

So I guess I'll be taking the next day or so relaxing while I wait for my spirit to catch up with me...

On that note, you guys all have a good week now! <3

L.B.

Hey, guys. We're about half-way through November now, it seems...

Didn't realize how fast this year was going. It'll be December next time I look at a calendar again, wont it?

ANYWAY... Here's a little Phossy pic I upgraded this afternoon! <3

This is pretty much the only thing I drew this week.

 Ah well...some weeks are just like that, I guess.

Vincent

HEYO! Another week has officially died, and with it everything we meant to do but didn't get around to...

But no worries; the next week is just around the corner, so we can try our best all over again!

Just Vincent having a good time~

He's so fluffy and cute, despite him being a penguin hybrid monstrosity. <3

(Am I the only one who's getting flashbacks to the old Harland drawing I did about a year ago or something? Yeah? Okay...)

The old bedroom...

Wouldja' look at that? Another UV picture with a detailed background!

Nothing like Home Sweet Home, eh Ruby?

... No wonder you tried to get out of there as fast as you could...

Wet Sapphire...

And here's yet ANOTHER UV picture I've managed to draw!

Wow... I've been really productive lately, haven't I?

I mean nothing wrong with my other random sketches, but BOY is it nice drawing some UV for a change! :)

Just a little Sapphire scene; waiting for her ride back home after a rather unsatisfying day at the beach.

Cold, wet, probably hungry, kinda tired, and less than thrilled to be hanging out in a chilly breeze... *sigh*.

Ruby and Ollie

 EEY, guess who' been drawing lots UNDERCOVER VAMPAROO this week?

I realized I don't draw the boys from UV that much... This upsets me, because all of them are lovable dorks that deserve my drawing attention!

Midnight, Harland, Reginald, and of course Ollie here...

If only one didn't have to sleep, or take mental breaks, or eat, or stop to occasionally and look outside for a change...

...

Ah well.

In any case, I'm pleased at all the things I did manage to do this week! :)

Rex the Fox

Evening, gents!
You all well? All healthy? Happy? Relaxed? Overly-anxious about the coming morning?
Well, that's okay because I've got a little something I wanna show you all! :)

This is Rex, a magical two-tailed fox and adopted son to Midnight.

His friends include a small ax-wielding bear-mouse girl and a flamboyant cockatoo known mostly as "that utter brat with the siren voice" and "Flavio", but apart from them he doesn't often reveal himself to anyone...

Because of Rex's Kitsune genes, he can change his appearance, turn himself and other objects invisible, and while he can't LITERALLY transform his body (because he isn't a true kitsune, not to mention too young) he's got some pretty good illusionist tricks (if his imagination is willing).

Rex's relationship with his 'father' (if you can call Midnight that) is pretty good, as they both like visiting neighboring castles and kingdoms so they can steal the cutlery and move invisible chairs out into the middle of crowded rooms and stuff [much to Ruby's irritation].

And that golden orb 'round his neck? I'm thinking he got that from his father when his mother died; possible the only thing left of her, so he treasures it a lot.

Like, A LOT.

So don't even think about taking it from him!

An experience you probably wont live long enough to regret...

Honey SweetShroom

Whelp. I'm just going to assume you guys are all here, so let's not beat around the bush and just get on with it...

 

*Ahem*

This is Honey; an old Mario OC I dug up recently, and about the only thing I've been drawing for the past week.

From what I can remember, she's a spirited young desert-gal that moved into the Mushroom Kingdom to get rich 'n stuff; "Because you never find your fortune at home".

Something like that, anyway. 

ALSO she has a thing with geology I believe.

Knows her rocks, she does our Honey. :)

BloodFire

Hi, guys.

Once again I spend like an hour trying to remember how the heck to draw fire.

Ah well.

At least it looks epic. 

In a weird... redish, sorta way...

...

UV's 4th Anniversary

HEY! Quick question...

How many of you guys remember Ruby, Sapphire, and Midnight looking like THIS?

WOW these designs are old... I mean, jus' look at Ruby's hair! I completely forgot it was longer back then!

And Sapphire; back when she had a white streak (instead of yellow), and had that weird golden bracelet thing on her tail. 

Not to mention Midnight with his ninja-black hoodie!

Seriously, as much as I like black hoodies it was near IMPOSSIBLE for me to see him in that thing!

(There was a reason I changed it to green)

But it's kinda cool to see them this way. Back in the days when they were young; just a couple of fun kids I had in my minds' eye, and just waiting to be unleashed!

Now lookit' them. Ruby's got herself an awesome penguin husband and became Europe's #1 witch. Sapphire's got a good Army life, training would-be soldiers how to become literal one-men armies...

And Midnight. OOOH, Midnight... 

You became the king of a small forgettable town, and made it GREAT. You adopted a whole buncha needy kids (because HELL if you were going to get married) and welcomed thousands of weird and wonderful creatures to your kingdom with open arms.

You've got almost a 3rd of the nations' firepower in your basement, up your attic, and scattered all around the gardens and various rooms of your castle.

And somehow ended up becoming chummy with the world's most important king.

I've become severely emotionally attached to you, Midnight boy.

Cheers to another year of all you guys' doing stuff!

And thanks to anyone who's stuck with us for as long as you have -

You're awesome!

Now, if only I actually wrote any of this down...

C.T.

Hi!

 This is literally the only thing I drew this week..

... I have nothing else to say.

Have a nice day.

September Flues

Hey, you all! Guess what?

I'm sick!

... OKAY so I'm not dreadfully sick. (It's barely a 1 on a 10 meter scale)

 But y'know how my brain acts up whenever I have a stupid flu or whatever and it just REFUSES to be productive? Yeah.

It's doing that.

So I had to accept whatever sketch I could cough up this week and outline it, colour it, and add a sparkly kinda background to it before I truly died, but you know what?

I don't think it came out too bad!

... Sorta?

... Sorta. 

ANYWAY here's the thing.

Yeeeah, I'm taking the next day or so off cuz I'm SICK of feeling perfectly FINE while having my brain act like it's the end of the world or whatever over this tiny flu!

ARE YOU WELL OR AREN'T YOU, BODY? JUST TELL ME ALREADY!!!

Winter Sapphire

 Hi guys! Had a good week? Well, mine was mostly filled with newspapers, printing machines, and various periodic elements... Not a bad thing, but I'm gonna need a week to get over my week of weekiness and... weekness. And stuff.

ANYWAY! Have a little reminiscent Sapphire picture!

Speaking of my week, it turns out one of my many weaknesses is always drawing something face on, and occasionally sideways.

Decided to fix that by dedicating a few days to drawing some of my characters from behind.

So much frustration... but I think It's paying off! :)

Flower Gal

Allo, chaps!

Just a little something I whipped up this afternoon in celebration of spring and the months of endless warmth and hotness we're all about to be subjected to and stuff.

As a polar bear I don't think I'm prepared for this. But as a human I've already accepted the inevitable and am going to enjoy the remaining cool[er] nights I've got left for the year, and possibly appreciate the fact that we've still got functioning air conditioning.

Gotta count you're blessings after all! <3

 ANYWAY here's the picture! :)

Been experimenting with pen and canvas sizes lately... Especially SUPER small outline pens, and slightly larger canvases.

Overall I don't think much has changed, but at least I could draw the flower crown with relative ease.

Can't usually do that without erasing a whole ton of lines, so that was interesting. :)

FlashFire

YO! Y'ALL KNOW WHAT TIME IT IS?

It's AppleStorm's weekly SPECTACULAR PICTURE TIME, that's what it is!

Man, I love this girl's outfit! It makes me think she'd be like some firefighting ghost-buster... or maybe a pyromaniac exterminator.

"There's only one way to kill a spider.... WITH FIRE!"

And then she ends up burning the entire house down.

 .... Whilst missing the spider.

... Dang it now I'm attached to her! I mean, curse her for trying to kill an innocent spider, but she sounds like such a delightfully incompetent firebug!

And she might keep getting in trouble with her bosses but they can't get rid of her because shes like a national treasure or something... Maybe saved the world from ghosts that one time and they feel obliged to keep her on because it's good for business...

...

... Yeah I'mma just leave now. BYE!

REGGI BOI

 Why, hello there! Fancy meeting you all here! :)

Been playing a lotta Splatoon this week. Haven't done much of that in a while, so it was definitely a nice change; just explodin' peoples faces in and fighting the fish apocalypse... Y'know, standard stuff.

 Well anyway - I came up with this quick little drawing of Reginald (8yrs old) because... well, because I could, I guess. I don't need a reason to draw my own friggin' characters now, do I?

He's too adorable and stupid to be kept from you guys anyway SO HERE TAKE HIM-

D A N G, I just realized what a nice kilt Reginald has! :)

Curse that BLEEDIN SWORD though...

G L I T C H ! ! !

Hi, guys! MAN am I happy about this picture... It's the first thing in almost three weeks that I've made that actually looks like I put effort into it! True, it's kinda weird and the background might be a little distorted and over the top, but honestly? I LOVED working on this; I guess finishing it in one afternoon sorta proves that, huh?

Yeeeah, I definitely need a break if I plan on doing any more drawing in the near future...WHELP, see you guys next week, then! :)

DeathDancer Dailies

We're going to ignore the fact that the title for this post sounds like the name of a newspaper brand  and just move right along to the two pictures I've decided to end up sharing with you guys.

... Also to note that I've been incredibly productive in terms of sketching, doodling, and story-developing, which is pretty impressive seeing my usual attention span, but that's besides the point.

(I would've outlined them if I had the time, patience, or attention, but as it is I've left these two just as I originally made them)

Just some fun little drawings of the DeathDancer Family... Harland dropping Alexis off at high school, and Ruby making sure her boys get to their separate destinations without too much trouble...

Ah, Ruby's such a good mother (despite what literally everyone else would've originally thought)

... That's it tonight. Too lazy to add any other comment or rant or stuff...
 I guess I'll see you guys next week. :)
