Flexin' on 'Em - 2

You know, for science and stuff 😜😂

My dA friend, @atrixfromice, was the first to do a picture of Multo with a buff figure (she was also the one who got me into looking into deviantArt as I loved her Multo art!). And I figured I should draw muscular Multo, too. Because...yeah. 🤣

One of my regulars saw this and asked me if I was drawing a squid guy with abs. And I said yeah, is that a problem? 😁🤣 Your girl has needs too, you know. Particularly, a need for sexy professors 😅😂. Multo's new nickname is Squid Guy with Abs and you will not change my mind 😜

And the coffee cup? It was a gift from Wizzy and Wigg to Multo. They aren't quite as innocent as Multo thinks they are, haha. And the look on his face tells you he knows exactly what he's doing standing there like that 🤣

Zeeter.exe has stopped working, please reboot XD Although once she does reboot, well...if the smile on her face is of any indication, Multo's gonna be unavailable for a while, so to speak 😏

Oh, and I may do a pic with Bula 😁 I just hope I don't start anything making the Zula Patrol more buff, lol 🤣

Enjoy!

Oh I think I'll be very exciting to see a hug with my characters Rita and Pierre the Enteroctopus Dofleini!

Though if it's too hard to draw you can tell me and I could suggest some other characters. I know for a fact to draw an octopus is not that easy sometimes.

An eight armed hug is a mighty hug!

Soul's Magic by Atrixfromice

A beautiful piece of fanart by my friend Atrix drawn for my release day! It’s gorgeous, Atrix, thank you!

[atrixfollies]

Hi there folks! Hope you're having a good weekend!

I'm at my mom's like us usual, so I'll probably draw something today and tomorrow.

A couple of days ago one of my patrons asked for Philoctetes from Disney's Hercules, and today finally felt inspired to do it, alors voilà ! ^^

I'm glad for the suggestion cos I really like this character because despite of his flaws, he's got a big heart and a fatherly side.

Just think about it: When Herc was a looser and nobody liked him, it was Phil who was there for him, loving him giving him advise and guiding him to the god path. And for that he won my heart!

Oh by the way, I'll be taking more characters suggestions to sketches like this one from peeps who join to my Patreon this November and December.

And if you can't pay every month you can give me a Kofi and I'll take in count your suggestion too.

Find your match: tag game

Hi lovesies, I kinda had an idea, after taking this test I found on @matstegen blog, about Creative Types.

So, I found out that, out of the eight possible creative personalities, I’m a thinker (the description totally suits me, btw lol). And I thought “How cool would it be if among my lovely mutuals I could find the other seven personalities that match and complete mine?”

So here I am, starting this ‘tag game’…

Rules:

Take the test

Reblog this post with what type you got

Tag 7 mutuals to do the same!

Let’s find our matches people!

I’m tagging: @sweetgcreature @its-a-metephor-brian @bohemiandelilah @gottabecool-relax @instantezra @radio-ha-ha @littledarlingwellaway cause they are my squad, but if you want to try and do this, you’re more than welcome!

I'm not done yet with D'coolette! :D

Here is a drawing of him I've done little by little this week. Sorry about the lack of art lately but I haven't felt very well this week. A lot of back pain, even since the first hours of the day.

But I feel happy I could be able to finish this drawing at least! I always thought he'd look very handsome on a gala suit, and he does! He was supposed to be on a gala event on this drawing, but I feel I'm gonna mess up with the background so I'm going to leave it like that I think.

What do you think? I made it with my watercolor brush markers, a part of it have been done with water and the other part without water.

[atrixfromice]

More Jacquimo sketches! ^^

[atrixfromice]

Another Chirstmas drawing I’ve done. This time, Twipsy the cybermesenger from the TV show Twipsy. It was a giftart for my dear friend Sara, to thank her for all these years of support and love to my art and original characters!

Also because I missed to draw Twipsy, hehehe

I made it with my brush pen markers, in both ways, by mixing the colors to make watercolor (in the background) and using the markers directly (on twipsy), since my computer died I’ve realized I can try to do more stuff in traditional.

[atrixfromice]

Teeny Tiny sketch I did before sleeping *chuckles* And here Antoine is sleeping cos I feel sleepy right now but I wanted to draw him one more time, hehe

Since 1 am is already another day, is already 22 Oct.

I adore this coyote!!! 😍❤️

If isn't one thing, is another!!!

Or ��the odyssey of quest for the best microphone!”

I’m going to talk about this, because I promised to some folks I would. But also because I feel the need to talk about this to feel...well, maybe not better...but to feel a bit less dissapointed at least.

I was really excited about going one step further to a higher level regarding my fictional characters, but unfortunately for me, “if isn’t one thing is another” as we say in Mexico. Is an expression for when we have one and another and another misadventure or bad thing happenning succesively.

And that’s precisely what happened to me in general this year. But specially, with this animation project. First my computer started to have trouble, so I told myself “well if that’s so, I might just make the animation in traditional and I could tell my brother to lend me his computer so I can put the drawings together on movie maker”.  And my mom helped me with the traditional animation tools that are the glass desk I use as animation table, and the portable lamp. These ones!

But at the same time with my computer trouble, I had a lot of trouble too with the quality of the audio records when I found my character’s voices, since the peeps who were enthousiastic to work voicing my characters had no microphone to record, and I had no microphone to record either!

They recorded directly with their smartphone, and I with my smartphone and using an earphone as microphone. So in all the cases the voice was overcame by the sound of the street, the neighbords, people talking in the distance, etc.

Plus, one of my friends was so nice to spend an afternoon and night with me until 4 am (via chat online of course, he lives in mexico city and is far away from where I live) talking about my fictional characters and making voices so I could know if he could fit for one of my characters, because he was so excited a bout this animation, and mostly because, as I said before, he always wanted to be a voice actor for animated cartoons.

So I thought it worth the effort to help them and myself a bit, and I had the brilliant, brillant idea ( now I know it wasn’t a good idea XD) of making a tour on my town to see if I could find a good quality micro for a decent price so I could buy at least 2 or 3, and send then 2 to my friends and one for me, or send one to one of  my friends and take one for me.

But what happened I think I wouldn’t have predicted it!

Firs of all, almost all electronic stores were closed due quarantine. Except for one who was a little modest store that had recently oppened. So I bought my micro there because I had no choice.

The first “micro” I bought was actually not a micro (even if the girl who was selling there told me that is was usable to record) but just some headphones that worked via bluetooth with a micro included but they were only to talk, not to record. So yeah that day I learned that you cannot record via bluetooth. Because even if I installed an app so my smartphone could recognize the mic, the sound was horrible!! It sounded like someone who was talking to you from 3 meters away or something like that! Even the records sounded better with my earphone used as micro! And that was so much to say.

So I went to the store and I told the girl I needed to change the product or the return of my money cos this product wasn’t able to make what I needed it for, that was RECORDING AND GIVE ME A GOOD QUALITY SOUND! And then the girl said she couldn’t give me back my money because their enterprise didn’t allowed that, but yes to product changement in case of trouble. So I accepted and she gave me an earphones with microphone included, it was a generic brand but the girl told me it worked well, so I thought everything was going to be ok.

But no, actually that was worse! It got worse and worse.

I arrived home almost at dawn and I spent almost all day walking to go from store to store and come back. So as you can imagine, I was exhausted. I felt like the toothpaste you squeezed and it’s almost to get over. I wasn’t going to record my fictional character’s voice at that moment. I even didn’t ate all day! But I didn’t really cared, I felt too tired so I just I collapsed on the bed like a log.

So the next morning, I woke up and I happily proceeded to test the micro, and for my misfortune, just one of the headphones worked well, and the other didn’t, and the microphone, that was important part I needed, it didn’t worked at all!!! So there you have me, walking 2 hours to go and come back from the same store (since the transports are not doing their service due COVID) to change that micro, and then the girl gave me another brand of headphones with microphone, and I prayed God for this to the good one!  

Again, same stuff, I didn’t ate and I was tired, but this time I didn’t collapsed like a log, I tried to test the micro to know if it worked or not, and then, it happened that the headpones worked both of them, but the micro didn’t work!

So next morning I went to the store for the 3rd time and I was very upset, I told the girl to give me back my money because I didn’t wanted any other product from this store. I'm appreciative she was very understanting with me, because she treated me nicely and with calm even if I was so exasperated, pissed off and cursing in french.

No kidding on this! In retrospective...it was so embarassing because every people at the store turned their gaze at me like if I was a mad woman! LOL But you can deny after the 3rd time receiving a bad product you would probably have felt the same.

so I calmed down as well. And this time she gave me a lapel microphone, because she couldn’t give me back my money. And thanks goodness when I came home, I tested it and it worked. I I felt relieved and could eat finally.

The next morning I prepared myself a sandwich, and took care of my home duties like moping and swepping and dish washing, that stuff. And when the afternoon came and I tried to record on my new, and I realized that while it worked, the sound quality was very bad cos it picked up a lot of the background sounds and it made to some clicking and squeaking like if I was moving it but I wasn’t.

So I took my afternoon to look on google for how to record with a cheap or bad quality microphone (this one was not that cheap, but it was bad!) and I did all what people adived on on youtube and on blog articles. And I tried to record for two afternoons. like 6 and 6 hours, imagine it, I spent 12 hours voice acting!

Even I put covered my windows on aluminium paper, and I recorded on my bathroom and inside of my closet! XD But nothing worked because, while there was a bit les background noise, the recordings still had those annoying squeaking sounds, and when the voice made high notes, it sounded like someone's fingernails on a blackboard!

It was particularly hard to record on the closet, cos I was up for 6 hours and a bit more standing up trying to record something, and I had to start from the beginning because of the so annoying sounds that were made when I made emphasis on the words. So at the end my feet were numb and burining like hell! That not counting that more the time passed, the less my physical strenght to record I had.

And then after I finished, I thought it was really good, and I was so proud and satisfied with the result, then I gave the record to one of my friends, who offered as beta tester to listen my records, and he commented he heard an squeaking sound and that in the pauses when I talked, he could hear my breath! And that he couldn’t understand what was being said. And he’s an native english-speaker, soo, sooo it meant the record was not going to be able to be used!!!

So you can imagine why at the end I was so dissapointed and sad! Because I had a really exhausted body, a wounded pride, and a sore jaw and throat, because when you record voice (specially on a bad quality mic) you must exagerate a bit your voice and pronnounce well, and move your mouth a lot so you can get a good emphasis on your dialogues. And after all this effort I only got a 2 or 3 minutes recording, which was awesome, but the quality wasn’t good enough to be on an animation!!!! *sobs*

It was a dialogue between two characters, the main character from “good team guys” and the main “bad team guys”, from one of my stories. It was an epic battle between these two, and it was so...so awesome and mindblowing!

No kidding! It had all what I wanted it to have, all those delicious emphasis on the right words and phrases. I don’t even know if I’ll be able to record something THIS GOOD ever again in my life! Because I was inspired, and this doesn’t happen very often.

That without counting that I feel like a great jerk now because I feel like I failed to the peeps who were so participative offering their voices to voice my fictional characters, and who were enthusiastic and excited about voicing one of my original characters. But I think I’m smart enough to notice that right now I don’t have the tools to do neither animation nor voice acting.

So.. that’s why I dediced to not record more, not continuating animating, because I’m just I messing up my health and sleep and with this bad quality micro and computer I’ll not have any good results.

I think is better to save money to buy a good microphone for the voice, or a couple of ones, and send one to my friend. And wait until my brother could borrow me his laptop.

I think, while it makes me sad to come back to illustration and comics only...I feel a bit better by talking about my oddysey. So I thanks a lot to y’all who have been here to support my art and listen to what I write about my art projects.

Sonic may be the fastest thing alive on Mobius, but Antoine is the hottest guy on Mobius!! <3 And if you ask me, I think he deserves some cool and elegant clothes to match with his beauty. As I said before, I felt a bit dissapointed with what they gave him on the Reboot. So I decided to do another clothes desing.

So here’s how it looks like the clothes redesing I’ve been working on! I wish the lineart was better but my back hurts, I’ve spent like a week doing this thing and my back hurt and I felt like I was never going to end! XD I think it’s too much for me to sit a week in front of the computer to do a drawing. And for the desing, well I wanted to include the accesories that are special to him that is the gloves and sword. Also I wanted to conserve his uniform because I think it’s very elegant and cool!

Frankly, I think Antoine had nothing to be jealous of from Sonic. I mean think about it; blonde hair and blue eyes, intelligent, good sense of humor, loving and caring, and with such an awesome and sexy voice and French accent on the TV show thanks to Rob Paulsen! And he talks French!!! :D And is one of the few characters who I know whose writters (both in the comic and the series) knew how to use well “Oh mon dieu” and “sacrebleu” to give scenes the emphasis they needed! What else a girl can ask?

I can understand he wanted a bit of Sonic’s fearless and confident actitude, but he doesn’t need it actually! Because his shy and scaredy personality makes him too cute, specially and moslty because he always struggled to face his fears become more brave and more confident! And he succedded so extraordinarily, specially in the comics.

That makes him human I think. I always felt Antoine being much more human and heartfelt as a character than all the other freedom fighters, even more than Amy or Rouge, or even sonic himself, who always seemed to be chill and made all well on the first try.

Because he could feel fear and sadness, be jealous and angry and feel vulnerable, and even if he messed up things sometimes in the missions because of his scaredy nature, he never gave up, and he so was so loyal to protect his friends and his country!

Hey howdy folks! Hope you’re having a good Monday !

Today I would like to share a ver special piece! A comission I did for the incredibly awesome artist and friend @tikara !

She have been one of my main artistic influences and inspiration, since a pretty good time, even before we met, hehe.

I cherish her in my heart a lot because her art have always given me a lot of joy and warmth in my soul; and specially because her artwork helped me to come back to art a while ago when I was spending some personal difficult moments and I thought on giving up making art because with the situation I was living I lost a lot of my lself-steem, and I constantly had the feeling my art, and I myself didn't worth it.

Her art lightened the flame of my passion for making art again, and it helped me a lot to realize what I wanted not only in the art field but in my everyday life, and that I shouldn't settle with less, cos working hard for what your heart dreams is worth it! And for that I am deeply grateful.

So, finally being able to meet her and chat with her was, so, sooo incredibly wonderful! It was a dream come true! Heheheh!

And it was so awesome when she commented she wanted a comission from me, it was a very exciting moment! And working with her was the coolest, most beautiful thing ever! She was so nice and patient refering the time, and I enjoyed a lot the fact she was motivated to participate in the making of this piece giving me her suggestions. It made my work a lot more relaxed and enjoyable to have a good comunication. ^^

Plus, these character are awesome, and very fun to draw! I couldn’t believe my luck to have the chance to make an art piece with them, hehe! And for one of the artists I deeply admire! This is for sure the most enjoyable comission I’ve done in my life ^^

Hehe, well, here I present you this cute scene of the Dj’s taking a long, relaxing bath, I hope you enjoy it as much as I did when I made it!

[atrixfromice]

Today I felt upset because I had planned to but I couldn't draw Uncle Iron.

His body complexion it's very of difficult to me at least XD

Also I felt bad because I couldn't get to draw the other the other thing I planned to draw that was a poster for Nature's Guardian's teaser. I've been thinking to make the comic traditional.

...But why would I think I'd be able to turn Nature's Guardian into a traditional media comic? If I can even finish a poster ?!

And worse! Even if I'd be able to to do that (which I doubt in my actual health situation) I'll "give birth a cactus" to get a good quality file out of it because a photo of a traditional drawing is not the same than a digital one.

With my back issue there are good and bad days...there are days I can wake up stand up and do my house chores and art more or less well.

... And there are some other days, the bad days...when the pain its unbearable. It hurts so much that I can't even make my house chores nor art or anything. And I get sad and fustrated because I feel nothing comes out well, because I have no strength for anything and can't make cool things in art I would like to do!

I think this was one of the bad days...

Wait...

...No! That wasn't that bad as a day I think. Cos at least I was able to finish an art piece (that probably nobody here will like , but well I know where they will *chuckles* ) ...so it was a good day?

Or something in between?

Well let's say it was a more or less productive day, heheh

And tomorrow will be another day, and hopefully it will be better.

It’s been a while I’ve drawn something, but it’s because I’ve been working on this project.

Recently I’ve talked to a friend of mine about my comic cos she got a crested gecko as a pet recently. I was excited when I told her I was excited cos she had a gecko of the same especies of my character jupiter, an for my surprise, she didn’t know jupiter existed! XD She told me she didn’t know there was going to be a gecko on my comic even. So I wanted to make a decent painting of my character Jupiter the gecko. And voilà here is it !

At first I didn’t know what to do, but later I got inspired by the masks related funny illustrations I’ve seen from other artists. And I thought it was going to be funny and cute drawing him like this, hehe.

Hope you like it! And if not I think I’ll go back to draw sketches, they’re faster and easier. This took ages to draw! XD But I’m happy because this is the first time I do a good job on his face!

[atrixfromice]

A drawing I made a couple of days ago but I couldn't color because I did laundry. I spent a ridiculously amount of time drawing Pierre's tentacles cos I couldn't place them well. It worth the effort though cos I feel very pleased with how Pierre's tentacles came out. (And yes I counted them, they're 8) And today I finished laundry but I was too tired to color it, so I decided to post it like this hehe

I've been missing a lot drawing both Pierre and Rita, so it was cool to do it even if it's an sketch! I just wanted something cute and heartwarming ^^

By the way if someone would like to color this please feel free to do it! ^^ oh and they both are underwater, but I feel too tired to draw bubbles right now XD
