Mysterious Lotus Casebook: the Wedding Dress episode!

Alternate events to the Wedding Dress shenanigans in episode 12, hahaa!

Yes, the subtitle is a Futurama quote :P

Gender Bend Meet You at the Blossom!

So I was picturing if there was a woman version of Meet You at the Blossom, then a spoiled and spirited heiress would fall in love with an "Elf Lord" in the woods, only to discover (in a rather, shall we say, "heated" moment :P ) he is actually a she. Yes, it's that scene from the riverbank :D

An alternate ending to episode 8 of the Thai series Peaceful Property on Sale!

Note! I drew this before I saw what actually happens in episode 8, it's how I coped with the cliffhanger at the end of episode 7, ha ha haa!

Yet another silly alternate ending to Mysterious Lotus Casebook cuz . . . I'm not over it, ha ha!

Enjoy!

Loved loved loved Mysterious Lotus Casebook, and that epilogue still haunts me. I feel very torn about it.

So here's a stupid fix-it that came to mind during one of my re-watches :P

Tolkien was inspired to create the beautiful Luthien Tinuviel when he saw his wife, Edith, dancing in a glen. He took something real and of the everyday, and made it mythical and ethereal. Both, the everyday and the fantastical, beautiful in their own realities.

Because of adjusting to a job with ridiculously long hours and just draining energy overall, I've really fallen behind with my art. However, lately I've tried carving a space for it over the weekends so I'm finally finishing pieces I've neglected for far too long.

This one is a bit of a weird one, but bear with me. I set myself the challenge to imitate the black and white art style of Wendy Pini for her Elfquest series from the 70s, but using Chaneques instead of Elves. For those who don't know, Chaneques are fairy/goblin like creatures in Mexican mythology, who are said to have the faces of old men, bowed legs and their feet are on backwards. They are tricksters towards humans but preservers of the natural world, and they feed off of energy (or life force).

The original intention of this challenge to myself was to simplify! I always take too long with my environments, I wanted to imitate a "deceptively" simpler style so I'd go faster . . . the end result was me going "Sure, I can spend 45 minutes to an hour drawing leaves from a tree native to Tepoztlan in the foreground".

Soooo . . . I failed, ha haa.

But I loved getting to draw coatis and cacomixtles as fae familiars. Also, I based the setting on a picture from one of my hikes with my brother and nephie.

For some reason while I was picturing what a new Avengers movie would look like with all these young 'uns, I couldn't help but get flashbacks to being a high school teacher and having to chaperone field trips :P

Note: I know we're mad at the state of the MCU right now, this is me finding some joy in it :D

Recently re-watched GUARDIAN and I kept quoting the Emmanuel the Emu videos every time ZYL wanted to touch the Hallows and Shen Wei stopped him, hahaa!

For those who don't know Emmanuel the Emu, here he is: https://youtu.be/d22r99JPg_M

My friend and I recently re-watched GUARDIAN and we came up with this joke. I never quite got why Shen Wei never told ZYL Ye Zun was his brother :P

PS: The "sound of my walls going back up" is a Daffy Duck line from The Looney Tunes Show, I couldn't resist :D

From my blog, a retelling of the time I met Stephen frickin' Fry :D and our shared love for Oscar Wilde :)

Fae inspired creatures: this time taking inspiration from Akira Kurosawa’s first segment from his film Dreams (1990), and a bit of Ghibli environment inspiration. The Kitsune are fox spirits, who can often take human form, and though they’re usually depicted as tricksters, they also have similarities to the Irish Fae folk. So here is a Kitsune father and son still experiencing strange wonders deep in the woods.

Based on a dream I had the other week :P Irrefutable proof that I'm watching waaay too many CDramas, hahaa!

Short Stories and Fan Fics

Hey, everyone!

I also write! If you are interested in some short stories about real life interesting encounters, please check out my Substack!

If you are interested in silly but fun fan fictions, I've written one for The Hobbit movies, a couple for the MCU, and one for the Chinese drama Killer and Healer. I've had so much fun writing these!

Thank you and I hope you enjoy!

The Waters and the Wild series

Fae-like creatures based off of woods here in Northern California. This one is based off a Bonsai tree in the Lake Merrit Gardens, and a lake in Mendocino county.

Just for fun: a visual representation of what it felt like to watch Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness for the first time :P

Ps: I know I come off a bit mean towards Sam in this, but I don't actually blame him (entirely) for the chaotic mess that was that movie. I blame the studio and . . . I gotta admit the movie has kinda grown on me upon second and third viewing. This is just a visual joke, no offense intended, I will always be grateful to Sam Raimi for the first Spiderman movies and for his role in horror cinema, this is just trying to capture what the first viewing felt like :P
