Another sketch I may clean up or redo someday.

It may be a bit cold for a swim, but Lyra was craving fish. So she caught a fish.

Helps sometimes being in touch with one's feral side sometimes.

I've got two characters of mine I'd love to write about with this in mind, definitely going to take some notes from this.

actually what makes friends to lovers such a good trope and, in fact, what is Essential to making it a good trope is that the characters have to be friends. and you may say, well duh!! that's what the trope is!!! but no, no, no. you see, some people see friends to lovers and think: two people who are secretly in love/have feelings for each other throughout the entirety of their friendship and use that friendship to mask that. but the real slow burn is when they're legitimately friends. like, they feasibly might have 5 episodes/10 episodes/a whole season where there is No suggestion of romance between them (even if you know it'll head that way eventually) and instead they're just hanging out with no deeper meaning. so instead of seeing them hide their feelings the friendship is peppered with these ✨moments✨. moments where you think, oh there could be something more here. moments that slowly begin to happen more frequently and closer together until the character thinks, oh there could be something more here - by which point you, as the viewer, are Tearing your hair out because you already knew that!!!!! catch up and kiss already!!!!!! and so by the time they both actually realise it and are both actually ready to vocalise it you feel like you've run a marathon - exhausted, strung out, breathless, but also experiencing the greatest adrenaline high of all time

Emily usually avoids mirrors when she can. So sometimes her actual size and strength creeps up on her.

Made this sketch a couple weeks ago, been slow going for me, but hopefully I get back into the swing of things for the new year.

Got a few unfinished sketches I might as well share here, so look forward to that. In the meantime, have a great rest of your year!

(and here's the original without a filter)

Was looking through some of my old art, and found... Someone else's!

This fanart was made a while back by @monstrocker , and it's of my mermaid girl, Brenna!

Loved how it turned out then, love it still. She looks so cute in chibi, thank you!

(allow me to post this on the right account don't mind me)

This not-quite-inktober didn't turn out as I wanted, but are family photos ever perfect?

My collaborator and I thought it would be fun to try making our characters (besides Emily who's in her vampire form from earlier) look like ones from some of our favorite shows. I tried. XD

All said, I'm glad I tried something ambitious like this. Even if it's not perfect, it's good practice.

Characters: Lucas, Anna, Shane, Emily, Lyra and Art, from... My stuff!

(Shane and Lucas created and designed by a collaborator, Lyra and Art co-created with a collaborator)

Lucas dressed as The 10th Doctor, from Doctor Who

Anna dressed as Eda, from The Owl House

Shane, Lyra, and Art dressed as Grunkle Stan, Mabel and Dipper, from Gravity Falls

Ink-a-Day #30 - Treat

A bit later than usual for this not-quite-inktober, but eh. I've only got one more!!!

Well, at least Penn and Lucille got to finish their quest for candy. Looks like Penn went through a lot to get it, too.

Characters: Penn and Lucille, from... My stuff!

Ink-a-Day #29 - Trick

For tonight's not-quite-inktober, Anna tries to prank the last member of her team.

She got Emily and Shane earlier, now Lucas gets a visit from this spectacular spook!

He... might've caught her in the act. Oh well, you can't win em all.

A quick speed drawing to end Anna's Halloween pranks this year, but I loved doing these so much. Hope you enjoy seeing them!

Ink-a-Day #28 - Vampire

What's worse than facing a vampire? How about a strong, quiet elven warrior of the wilderness transformed into a wild, feral creature of the night?

Okay, so this not-quite-inktober didn't quite end up as vampire-y as I wanted, but eh.

Character: Emily, from... My stuff!

Ink-a-Day #27 - Jack-O-Lantern

Well... Anna tried.

She thought it would be sweet of her to carve Lucas's likeness as a Jack-o-lantern for tonight's not-quite-inktober.

Character: Anna, from... My stuff!

Ink-a-Day #26 - Jacket

Well, didn't get much time to draw for not-quite-inktober today. And then I had a thought. "What can I do in 5 minutes?"

And here's my answer.

Character: Lucille, from... My stuff!

Ink-a-Day #25 - Fire

So Anna may be a bit of a drama queen at times.

She's nice enough, but this not-quite-inktober drawing took up more space than most others. (Yes, even more than Scylla's drawing yesterday!)

Good thing I enjoy drawing her. XD

Character: Anna, from... My stuff!

Today's not-quite-inktober prompt had me inspired to draw something nautical.

May have been listening to Epic: the Musical and ended up drawing my take on Scylla from Greek mythology.

Ink-a-Day #23 - Moonlight

Was I ambitious with this not-quite-inktober? Terribly. Did it work? I like to think so.

I don't draw this character enough, but allow me to introduce another new character. This is Aria, and she's an owlin who likes a good read at night!

She is a rogue, but she didn't steal that book, she borrowed it from the library. (While it was closed. She'll return it when she's done!)

Character: Aria, from... My stuff!

Ink-a-Day #22 - Sci-fi

I don't have many sci-fi characters. So how about... Sci-Ly? (She roped her brother into whatever havoc she got into)

Lyra got a hoverbike and decided to see how fast it went, while Art got an armored suit that he's trying to learn about on the fly. Literally.

I'm sure they'll be fine. XD Either way, the not quite inktober streak continues!

Ink-a-Day #21 - Transformed

"Alright, let's try this again... I'll show you just how strong I am!"

So here's how wanted yesterday's not-quite-inktober to turn out, decided to give it a second try. If at first you don't succeed, assess what went wrong and try again.

Character: Emily, from... My stuff!

[penndragyn37]

Ink-a-Day #21 - Transformation

Some say she was cursed... Others say the amount of runic energy she was bathed in changed her...

Whatever the reason... Just don't make Emily angry.

A rough not quite inktober tonight, I bit off more than I could chew. Eh well, just gives me good reason to try again later.

Character: Emily, from... My stuff!
