Sketches from my old sketchbook bc I’m bored rn ( ^^ )

[spookyheaad]

Something different for New Years Eve

I do have a lot of art on the back burner to share, but, since I’m so caught up in KenUno hell rn, I found my old KenUno logs all the way back from 2017! Wanted to share some of my favorite pieces from it

@p-riama @girlwiththepapatattoo

The cover of the first book 😩 this brings me back, it was just about a year after I graduated high school LMAOOO (also me having the ability to fill up a tiny sketchbook in about 6-7 months, couldn’t be me nowadays unfortunately. Kinda cheated as I only drew on one side of each page; paper was really thin.)

Uhh the inner cover 🫣 this shit still hurts reading the quote paired with the image.

I was ahead of the game huh

More angst drawings. I remember being so proud of the hands in the pic on the left.

Some cutesy fluff to heal my soul. God I remember being so obsessed with their relationship; how history repeats itself lmao.

Still to this day, one of my favorite kisses I’ve ever drawn. The passion and yearning I captured in this? The way Zaraki is holding on to her as though she would disappear before his eyes if he let her go? My ass was onto something and I’m gonna have to keep this energy for the new KenUno stuff I wanna draw.

I remember when Kubo posted sketches of when he was a guest at Lucca 2017 & I went absolutely feral at the Kenpachi sketch. He had the aviators on, his chest was showing, his little head tilt; GOD

Wanted to do something a little cheeky with Kenny in that outfit. He’s fully aware of what he does to us methinks.

This is the last page of the first KenUno log. Just like the inside cover up at the top, this one still tugs at my heart, paired with the Shakespeare quote (I believe this is Shakespeare? I’d have to double check). The gentle touching of their hands, it’s so quietly romantic.

happy new year!! Wishing everyone a fulfilling and fruitful 2023!

the long awaited wip graveyard post

i thought the title was fitting for halloween :p

this post is an assorted collection of all my old thaw wips that i deemed not good enough to post, but didn't want to just rot away in my folder, so now they're here.

enjoy !

-

the Eye post

fun fact: i used the same seven colored pencils for both the thes eye and the tommy one, i just made the grayer shades more emphasized for the latter. thought that was a neat little detail.

q's eye here makes his skin look a lil more purple

i impulsively gave quackity an eyebrow when i didn't sketch it before, and the way it turned out bothered me >:((

not a wip because i absolutely would never give this abomination its own post, but this is basically what my scratch paper sheet looks like when i want to test out how different colors look with each other, and also get a really, Really rough idea of what the final product will look like. this is the process i go through Every time i draw something serious. 😭

peep all 7 colors of the chaosduo's eyes under the thes eye practice

LMAO AND THE THES FACE 8 SECOND SKETCH LOOKS LIKE HE'S ON DRUGS IT'S SO SILLY

can you see me struggling to figure out how to wrap the rune around q's pupil? and also how to make the rune not just Completely disappear bc of how dark his eye is? yeah. traditional art is a pain is the ass sometimes, but i'm still wayy better at it.

also shoutout to @alexanderwesker for giving me an idea of what the rune on q's eye looks like, because i like being as accurate as i can when i draw stuff, so that was very much appreciated!

the part 2 to the hero's journey comic

i went fucking Ham during the hero's journey assignment, so much so that i literally planned like 19 more panels than what you saw in the original post (27 panels planned in total). but then i realized that i had like Four Whole Days to do that assignment, and would definitely not be able to do that many, especially not without burning out.

so i instead settled for the very first 8 panels that i planned (though even then, i had to abridge a lot of it, and also cut slime entirely from it, bc otherwise those 8 would have been 14 whole panels, and i think i would actually die-), since that was just enough to show two different steps of the hero's journey (crossing the threshold and meeting the mentor btw. i could probably do a whole analysis on how wesker's stories fit into the hero's journey if i wanted to, but i'm lazy rn and this post is already pretty long), and that was the big grading requirement. (i got 100% on that assignment btw 💪and my english teacher still has no clue that he graded minecraft fanfiction fanart LMAO) but this one is what i would have included if i had more time on the project, and could include more of the story, but as it stands, i made this one in my own leisure, because comics are fun to do.

anyways, with that little rant aside, i tried my best to make q look younger than quackity, and really accentuate the difference between them. idk how i feel about how q turned out though.

i'm really proud of the paneling, and i'm also kinda proud of the first frame with quackity's face in particular bc i thought it looked cool, like an actual comic book or something. but i couldn't figure out the card physics or perspective and that's what ultimately made me choose to abandon it 💔 maybe i'll try attempting this page again when i'm feeling more daring (as well as the other panels that i still haven't even drawn yet), but this wip has been collecting dust for a couple of months now so i figured i'd share it here anyway.

Palido

i drew palido a bit ago, but bro got somehow managed to get crinkled in my bag, even while literally being Inside of my sketchbook 🤨

it's not Too awfully noticeable though, especially bc the fold isn't On the drawing itself, so i might be able to salvage him and post a finished version someday... but i kinda halted progress on him for the time being bc of it, so here he is. </3

"Am I Still Even Me?"

i 1000% want to redraw this someday, just because i think the idea behind it is so fucking neat.

honestly, this one wasn't too bad at all, especially since i did all of it (besides the bones bc i think my health professions teacher would be disappointed if i got them wrong, and also the rune bc i care way too much about accuracy) without any reference, which is a pretty impressive feat for me and my aphantasia. but yeahh i think it could definitely be better, and really, this drawing was ultimately something that i just drew in class to keep myself busy for a bit bc i had way too much freetime that day. it wasn't intended to be post-worthy or anything.

but i think that the idea behind it is definitely post-worthy. maybe i'll even add a thes and/or youngerbur addition once i get more information about them and just how they've changed yk.

i had no clue how to draw the bones in that position, i probably could've done more research but. yeah no i don't have an excuse, i just couldn't be bothered that day lmao.

i was also gonna bloody q's hands a bit if i ever got to the coloring stage. like a little nod to when he lost himself to Madness. is the blood actually there? who knows, we're seeing it from his eyes, so for all we know, the rune isn't even lit up either, and he's just remembering it being so. remembering the moment he acted so unlike how he used to be.

the bones are definitely there for charlie though, poor guy...

also can y'all tell that i drew the rune in like. 5 seconds. bc yeah.

i had way more wips to share but i have literally no clue where they went, and also the tumblr picture limit is getitng close so ig that's all for now </3

like for a part 2 (whenever i accumulate enough wips to warrant a post, that is)

[casual-flower]

Hiii 💕 6 , 20 ,24 for the artist asks? 👉👈

Haii!! 💕 I hope you've been doing well!! ^^

6. Longest a drawing has taken to finish?

This year it was probably a drawing I did for my closest friend. Originally it began as a drawing of her and Yoosung but then after like 3 hours of trying to figure out Yoosung physics I gave up on him lol. So it ended up as an attempt at a more cartoonish, but also somewhat painterly style portrait of my friend.

Tbf I've no clue how long it took in total in terms of hours, but I think it had the longest video time out of any of my other drawings lol

All I know is I made that file in January and the last time I touched it was September,, but dw!! I didn't work on that singular drawing for 9 months straight lmaooo

Once again, I'm not sure how many hours it would have taken as I work without looking at time, but this drawing would have probably taken me around 4-5 days, working for a few hours each? :p that's just a rough estimate lolol

20. What do you think you've improved on the most over the past year?

Probably on slowing down a bit when I draw. I still have a long way to go, but I always seem to speedrun all the processes?? And for what reason?? lol. No, but I think I've made progress on this because I finally identified it as a problem that I have, so I was able to work on it ^^

I was looking at my sketchbook shelf so I can compare my old drawings and- I found a sketchbook I completely forgot about?? :0 it's a mixed media one so I can use watercolour if I get back on it hehe. happy early birthday (jk lol) heres an unfinished mysme sketch from said sketchbook;;

I remember why I never finished this sketchbook now. Its bc it was my "inktober sketchbook" LMFAOOOOO I BARELY DID A WEEK OF INKTOBER PLS 💀

okay lemme see my fast sketchy sketchbook,,

I know this was a fast sketch but damn that waist 😳 There's this other drawing I did and the waist on that one was tiny too but like,, on that one it was genuinely disproportionate and I think those were exceptions to my general art,, but I thought I would mention them anyway djkskdkd

This has almost nothing to do with the question anymore lol. This was just me practicing poses and I was really proud of this one!! (Btw idk why I put balloons next to the date?? That's not my birthday, nor anybody's that I know of?? LMFAOOOOOO wtf)

AAAAAA its Ema Skye!! (Ace Attorney)!! I love her so I had to share lol anyways;:

OH actually I think I improved on filling up these pages more within the last 1-2 years?? look at this difference lol

to this!!

wait I just realised that most of my pages that I've got very filled up have a lot of um;; commentary and writing for absolutely no reason LMAO help,, this is the best I can do to demonstrate a bit of my improvement;;

25. What do you like most about your art style?

Sad news;; I don't have a consistent art style 😔 BUT there are some consistenties, which I can consider for this lolol.

I generally like the way I draw eyes, I think? They vary depending on the subcategory (lol) of the art style I end up going for, but in general I think I like the way I draw em

i kinda like the way I draw hair, too? though I think its bc I've been given compliments about that lolol

Thanks for sending this in!! ^^ 💕

The Fog In The Morning, Part 3

AN: Ahh, we’re finally almost done with the setup parts! Soon we’ll be approaching events more similar to what we know in the conventional Jeff the Killer story, albeit heavily modified cause I want to. Though don’t worry, more fun backstory tidbits will be tastefully employed in future parts too! Gotta leave stuff to discover and dramatically reveal, no? :P

Tags: @scary-lasagna, @habitradio, @peridoxal  (I feel like there’s some I forgot, sorry and please let me know X| )

Word Count: 985

Content: Some parent-kid tension, some insecurity, and a brief but moderately detailed mention of night terrors 

Part 2 Here!

“What do you mean we’ve gotta move?!” Jeff shouted. He was pacing quickly, only taking five or six steps before he had to turn around in the cramped living room. Liu watched, perched on a salmon-pink loveseat. 

Mr. Woods sighed. “I know this is difficult, but it’s for the better.” Jeff scoffed. “Listen Jeff,” said their father, “I’ll have a much better position there, which means I won’t have to work as much. We’ll have a better house too.” He smiled wryly. “At the very least, you’ll be able to angrily pace much more effectively.” 

“You’re crazy if you think I want your stupid house,” muttered Jeff, but he did stop pacing. He grumpily slouched against the loveseat, looking at Liu. “C’mon bro, don’t you think this whole moving thing is bonkers?”

Liu shook his head. He didn’t really have any attachment to the fairly small, one-story building. Something in him was almost glad that they would be leaving. 

Jeff turned back to Mr. Woods. “Alright, what does Mom think? Not that we see her enough to remember she exists, that crazy-”

“Don’t speak about your mother like that.” Mr. Woods sighed again, then pinched the bridge of his nose. “She agrees that moving is a good idea.” 

Jeff threw his hands into the air, then stormed out of the room. Mr. Woods looked at Liu apologetically, but Liu just shrugged, stood up, and trotted after Jeff. 

Liu entered their room, stepping casually around the piles of dirty laundry scattered on the floor. Jeff had clambered up to his bunk bed, and the old mattress protested loudly as he fell back against it, scowling. 

“This is totally balls.” Jeff huffed, turning away from Liu. After a moment, he turned back towards him, eyebrows furrowed. “Say, why don’t you think this is balls?” 

Liu shrugged. “I mean, I don’t have any friends here.” Jeff scoffed in disbelief, but Liu continued. “No really, not anyone I’d really miss. At least it’d be a new start, yknow?”

“Yeah, but I really liked my start here,” Jeff muttered. 

“Well, yeah.” Liu leaned cautiously against the bunk bed frame, glancing at Jeff. “But you’re so popular. I’m sure you’ll be able to make lots of friends in no time.” 

“I’m not.” 

This response surprised Liu a little, but not much. Sometimes he forgot that Jeff was his younger brother, and despite all the young boy’s bluster he did actually look up to his older sibling. Liu shivered slightly. 

“Well it’s not like we have a choice really,” said Liu hesitantly. “I mean, what would we even do?”

Jeff sighed. “I guess.” He turned back over, and Liu stood on his bunk so his eyes were barely able to see over Jeff’s mattress. The corner of a sketchbook peered back at him from over Jeff’s shoulder. 

Liu knew that Jeff had a sketchbook, though granted he had never been allowed to look inside it. Granted, that was technically only when Jeff was around. Otherwise, Liu knew that he always stuffed it in the gap between his bunk and the wall, trusting the bedframe to keep it from falling down to Liu’s bed. 

It usually did this quite well, and Liu had always respected Jeff’s privacy, but one day he had gone into the room and the sketchbook was lying open on his bed. On display was a dark, hastily hashed-in background with a grey, crudely sketched hand, positioned like it was shoving something away and out of the page. Where it met the sketchbook there was a line of paper, as if a page had been torn out. 

Liu had gently closed it, and quietly climbed up to Jeff’s bed, leaving it in its usual snugly hidden spot. Jeff never said anything to him about it, so Liu had figured that Jeff hadn’t noticed anything. 

“Quit staring at me.” Jeff had turned his head and caught Liu’s gaze. “I’m kinda working on something here.” 

“Yeah, yeah,” replied Liu, but he still hopped nimbly away from the bunk, landing squarely on one of the few clean patches of floor and settling into a crouch. As he stood up, stretching, he said, “Well, I’m probably gonna call it a night.”

Jeff scoffed. “Sure.”

Liu raised an eyebrow at this. “Well, since it’s nine-thirty?”

“Since when do you go to bed at nine thirty?”

“Uh…” Liu’s eyebrows furrowed. “Since pretty much always?”

Jeff snorted at that. “Yeah right, I’ve never seen you asleep before I am, and I’m usually awake till midnight.”

Liu shrugged. “Maybe you don’t pay attention to what goes on in the deep, hellish depths of The Lower Bunk.” He smiled slightly, and Jeff rolled his eyes. 

“Goodnight Jeff.”

“Yeah sure.”

Liu crawled onto his mattress, muscle memory allowing his fluffy brown hair to barely brush the bottom of Jeff’s bunk. It was a warm night, the first really humid night when spring turns into summer, so he just pulled the thin bedsheet over himself to keep out any drafts. 

He didn’t ask Jeff to turn out the lights, Liu never did. If Liu was honest with himself, he preferred the light to be on. He found it reassuring, and considering that he apparently still had night terrors it wasn’t the worst idea. At the least it meant that if one of their parents decided to try to reassure their shaking, wide-eyed, sometimes urine-soaked son, they wouldn’t have to try to navigate the room in the dark. He doubted they did anymore. After all, they were both busy people and since Liu never actually remembered the nightmares, he didn’t mind it much either way.

Of course, he’d never admit that he really rathered the light stay on all night, especially never to Jeff. What kind of fourteen-year old was still afraid of the dark? A silly one, that’s what. 

The old mattress creaked as Liu shifted, sighed, and closed his eyes.

Do you have certain materials you prefer? Like a certain type of paper, pens, etc.?

If you’re practicing, use the cheap crap! Use printer paper and ballpoint pens and RoseArt and Reeves! Always practice with the cheap stuff and save the good quality materials for when you know what you’re doing. For stuff I prefer for myself now... Paper. When working in sketchbooks I really like Canson Mix Media. It has some tooth to it and I really like that. I also work a lot with markers and it holds up to them really well. I have Strathmore Mixed Media books, too, but they’re really smooth and I’m not very fond of that. Seems like it would be better for blending, but I always feel like the pencil or ink is going to smear or feather. For comic book paper I really like Canson as well. Doesn’t bleed, doesn’t feather, I just wish it had some more layout markers. (Though I can just do that with a ruler.) Pencils! Been using Prismacolor Col-Erase for a long while now, usually in Light Blue and Carmine Red. Please note that Carmine Red doesn’t erase well and is kinda a pain in the butt. I used to draw in Non-Photo Blue, but it was too light when I was inking and I’d have a hard time seeing my sketch and scanners would still pick it up. If I’m doing warm-ups, thumbnails, or just sketches I’ll use anything. Normal pencils, ball-point pens. Anything. Pens. For inking I usually go for Sakura Micron. Comes in a bunch of sizes and I go through them like candy. They can handle a decent amount of work, have pretty durable nibs as long as you’re not stabbing the paper. I also like their brush pens for filling in. I used to use Copics as well for inking, but they were too expensive to upkeep and I  didn’t really like how they felt. (I had the metal ones that you could refill. Heavy pens.) I also used to use Stabilo and I kinda hated them. Did my first comic with them and it looks like shit. Feels like holding a pencil, though. I might try them again now that I know how to use pens better, but for now I’ll stick with Sakura. Oh! I also use Sakura Gelly Roll for white ink, but I’m not super fond of it. I just need it for fixing mistakes. I’ll look for a better white ink pen later. Markers! If you wanna get into markers, use Ohuhu. They’re cheap, they dry out in a year, and they come in a ton of colors. Good to practice with. Right now I use Copic Sketch and I like them a lot. I have some that have dried out too soon, so I might try to revive them again, but overall I like them. They blend nicely, they don’t usually feather or bleed too bad, they come in a verity of colors. I like them. I’ve also used Faber-Castell, they’re okay. I’m not really fond of them. They never seem to dry out which is nice. Don’t blend very well, but that may just be me. Sharpie I hate. Never got the hang of them. Hate the smell, hate the colors, I don’t like Sharpie. I know other people that can make them work, though, so that’s definitely me. Other art stuff! I use Mod Podge to glue things, usually paper to whatever I messed up on so I can re-draw it. Bad idea. don’t use Mod Podge to glue things. Coloring over it will also make it look weird. Get a quark-back metal ruler. Keeps the ruler from slipping around. I have a cheap glove-thing I got for free when I bought a tablet to cover my hand and keep me from smearing stuff. I used to have a SmudgeGuard brand one, but the elastic gave out on it and for some reason the woman who ran the store didn’t believe I had small hands so she sent me the wrong size with a letter that an adult can’t have hands that size. I may try to sew my own one day. But it does keep the pencil and whatnot from getting messy.  Computer stuff?? For taking photos and posting them to Insta, I use SnapSeed for fixing contrast and white-balance issues and LINE Camera for editing out stuff like eraser dust or little things like that. For digital art I use Photoshop CS6 and a really out-of-date version of GIMP. Like, so old. Super old. I don’t actually have a scanner and haven’t for a long time now, so I can’t really do any digital art. I’d like to get back into it, but I’m also VERY rusty. I never draw digitally and I should really try to get better at that. I want to try out Clip Studio Paint, but that’s a bit expensive for something I don’t know if I’ll like so maybe I’ll use their free trial. Drawing tablets I’ve used have been a Wacom Graphire3. From 2004. It was a good little tablet until it died. I have a little Wacom Intuos. It has a giant scratch on the surface, but it works fine. If I do any digital art, I usually do it with that. I also have a Huion Kamvas GT156HD. I hate it. It worked properly once and never again. The wires are a pain in the ass, setting it up is even MORE of a pain in the ass. It’s constantly running in the background for no reason, the pens can’t hold a charge, and it freaks out if you have drivers for other tablets installed. No matter how many times I uninstall and reinstall drivers it never works right. It’s a pain to change pen settings, I just hate it. Haven’t used it for two years or so, it was a huge waste of money.

[bkanvas-fairy]

Could you tell us a little about your characters?

Y E S !

but due to me having at least over a thousand characters I’ll just give a quick summary of the 25 I manage to dig up over 3 sketchbooks.

Y’all can pick and choose which of them interest yall or who you wanna hear more about!

Also because I’m extra, I made sketch icons for the 25 characters, info under the cut

I’ll talk a bit more about my actual Original Characters first, starting with

Aiko! Otherwise known as Echo

- A marked individual in a steampunk world that gets mixed with magic, because I like both of those things

- Echo runs an underground lab that does helps the underground world with replacing body parts, illegal surgeries etc etc

- Even though she marked, which puts a bounty on her head already, she is well respected by the community for not cheating for your money, stealing your cash, or shanking/killing you mid-surgery

- however, Echo does long for adventure and sometimes do get bored in the lab

oh yeah,, Echo like stealing eyeballs, so if you’re low on cash and wouldn’t mind losing an eye, you know who to call!!

Bonus:

Here’s Echo’s boring, undeveloped sidekick!! I don’t like her and I don’t know how to make her better. Yes, she doesn’t have a name.

here’s my god playboy that left “heaven” due to having an early mid-life crisis, I call him God boi cause;

- He goes by many names! 

tbh, he’s probably the closest character I have to being genderfluid/-neutral? I’m not sure,,

- The god has many powers, from lightning to shapeshifting

- The shapeshifting part allows him to change every part of himself, allowing him to change depending on his situation.

- God boyo, or originally Aristide, is obsessed with the idea of perfection. A god should be perfect, if a god is out of line, he is no god. 

- Same goes for him, which means whenever something is wrong with him, it affects him, extremely

However, leaving the land of gods to live among humans aren’t all perks

- Aris isn’t immune to diseases or injuries. In fact, he actually fell down and died on impact when he came to earth, being reborn into another child immediately.

- He doesn’t gain his memories back automatically tho!! He has to have a major shock to the brain in order for him to remember his previous lives

- Sometimes the shock isn’t enough either, when you have a thousand over lives, you won’t remember every single one of them. So forgotten lovers coming back to haunt because your brain hates you? That’s everyday for him!

i just,, i like playing with the concepts of god,,

Up next we got Ayeka Himura! A japanese student going to a neighborhood, but still a pretty good, school living close to poverty due to her father’s constant spending habits and obsession with art supplies. With the household lacking a mother due to wacky shenanigans, Ayeka takes care of her two younger siblings and the house, all while maintaining a very well-paid job and slowly loosing interest in actually studying for a good, honest job.

also she likes birds!!

Yes her design is heavily “based” off Toga but I love her current design too much to change it, h e l p

So like,, I suck at chinese and I made ocs that exclusively spoke in chinese to help with that but I’m still stuck at 40~marks

I forgot his scar but remembered his earring i hate myself

my og chinese kiddo! he was was first to come and I love his design ever since

he radiates fuck you energy except the girl below. He’s neighbors with her and they acknowledge each other existence ever since. he has a dumb cliche crush on her and is a bit protective of her because nothing says having issues than latching onto someone that makes you happy

Only this girl got named!! even tho she was the second character.

Li Shen, yes she doesnt have a surname, is apparently main ho now, according to my old oc chart of my “main” ocs

She’s the group’s resident sweetheart and really does not want you to do stupid shit, stop doing stupid shit. She tutors my son up there ^^ even though he’s actually smart and just refuses to do his work properly. But she still deeply cares for him.

As well as the girl below shdifhd

the last girl of the ching chong trio and the reason I had to switch up my son’s design is this girly over here! Her design was too business-y and formal so I enrolled all of them into college. A rich girl who doesn’t know how to deal with her g a y thoughts. Tried sending Li Shen some flowers once. She didn’t realize attaching her name would be a good idea and son got a good laugh.

i like paranormal stuff so they apparently look into that shit in their spare time. They’re all actually really fun characters to do prompts with I swear!! send some in and I’ll write them

I had a previous concept for son and Li Shen before last girl came and if yall want me to talk about it,,, i found my sketchbook with the old ideas,,

NEXT UP IS MY OLD GIRL ELORA!!

Elora herself used to be a fan character but I pulled her out and wow\

cant fucking believe she used to be straight for Vylad

shes the outgoing, fun adventure type! bit of mommy issues here and there tho,, I don’t want to say too much since I have an entire for her +

her now upgraded bro, Vincent

i really like the name vincent,,

also now he has mommy issues

Ead, the knight who used to have armor

I hate drawing armor 

he also have issues

AND IRIS MY SWEET GIRL IM SO SORRY

she doesnt have that much issues tho

basically I made elora and her bro have mommy issues, I’m sorry in advance if that spoils anything

I, sometimes, post about these 4 over on @eloradiesismydocsname​ and its a gay ol’ time

not that gay tho because uhh,, medieval times,, but I need prompts for a modern au of them and I am happy to talk about their personalities and even go semi in-depth for any of them!!

here we have ghoster.png,, which is her file name cause I didn’t name her,,

A horror enthusiast + film student that goes to a supposedly haunted shack to film her upcoming project with the boys. wacky shenanigans occur and the boys left leaving ghoster here to starve and eventually fall to her death. But because it’s my oc i get to bring her back from the dead, now hungry as ever and will fucking eat you, its not a kink thing, shes just that hungry and angry

tax fraud.png

a robo girl that i created during social studies cause they were talking about taxes and i just went, “what if,, a robo runs on taxes,,, and like,, she haunts you down for not paying your taxes,,” thus she was born! I don’t know what to name her but she is set in the future so-

Time to go future-apocalypse style because I love that setting too and was upset that I didn’t have any ocs in that style. So I created Alex A. ! A cybrog filled with memories of the previous generations as a sad attempt to preserve human life.

He’s accompanied by his sister/cousin idr i didn’t draw an icon for her, didnt like her design. they go on a hunt for food and to return with nothing. She gets to meet this other dude who has a plant arm im pretty sure i based him off someone’s elses oc but i cant remember. The 3 are forgotten. Kinda want to bring them back tho.

Neon! A character set in the future utopia of lazy people, where gamers rise up. its the best I can describe her story without getting too deep. She the new hacker on the block, joining the underground gang of elite hackers. She’s another one of those wacky characters that just has fun. I mean, when you know your way around codes and the world you live in is full of it, would you not take advantage of that?

as for fan characters,, uhh,, i have em

STARTING WITH MY WIFE!

Alexzandra Zara oh my god i forgot to draw her necklace and shirt

anyways,, Alexzandra is one of the more older ocs I have that didnt get a big revamp. Only an au I develop to the point I forgot the actual shows and the original cast are a little different from the source haha what? She’s the emotionally unstable german war veteran, yes the wife thing isn’t mutual, and haha shes only 27~. I cling onto her so much?? She’s hits a lot of “edgy” points but I still love her cause idk,, the story I made for her is something I hold dear cause Alexzandra was one of my first ACTUALLY DEVELOPED CHARACTER. Is it wrong to say I hold her really close to my heart? Is that weird? probably a little cringy sorry haha. I probably project a little into her which might have strengthened my love for her ack. Her story delves more into the depression very unstable needs to talk to someone side and i get scared talking about my wife’s story online so uhh, idk ask me specific questions about her, I’ll be more inclined to talk.

Dr Watts! The spoiled ass dick that stole dst Wilson’s house and yes this is a dst oc, yes im slightly sorry.

He’s just fun?? almost ran a blog with him and a friend’s oc. He’s your typical uptight old science gramps that took advantage of the fact that no one knows his real name that he calls himself a doc. He’s not. I put everything about him up to a 9-10? He’s one of those wacky characters and I love him for it! His story is really wonky tho so might need help solidifying that part 

and from the angry old man to my sweet man that will adopt you even if you’re noisy or call him ginger. Pilot here is a TF2 OC I made to interact with other tf2 OCs cause some of them are fun and i wanna join in :((

He’s the Canadian stereotype, and yes, he adopted scout, that was one of my character notes. 

Like the actual cast of tf2, there’s barely any real story to him. I only gave him a vague I don’t know my past but hey, i fly really really well. He participated in war unlike certain men but he’s still really nice and will only kill you if you hurt his family. Which he doesn’t know so he just considers the cast his family. He keeps mentioning a wife though, pretty sure he doesn’t have one but you do what makes you happy son.

Ai! an oc I HEAVILY revamped oh my god i hate her old vers. So if yall remember my random shouting of missing my og son, Aru. Here’s his bff. cause he barely has any actual friends that give a shit. And I just cant have that. but here’s your yandere revamped into a last minute addition. I actually feel like I did Ai a lot of justice. I don’t want to delve too deep cause I will start making charts. I’ll do that in a separate post if yall are keen

Isamu Aena! a mp100 oc I made by accident cause idk,, I was thinking about lolita fashion and all of a sudden, the actual oc I was going to make turned into a mob psycho oc. She’s one of my few ocs where her sexuality matters (she’s gay yeah) cause it plays a role in her storyline. She went from being “manipulated”/used to Mob’s wingwomen. She spots out things that can help him in the romantic department cause she’s into romance. A student of the school Mob infiltrated and a fantastic tailor, not to mention a pretty decent pyschic. wait where do models get their lolita stuff from,,

im gonna ignore that and move onto Lillian Yi! Who, i swear i did not meant for it, is very close to lloyd. I mean,, none of the ninjas were with him after s3, who you think he’d meet. Lillian is a survivor from the Great Devourour and yes I’m still pissed LEGO stole my backstory for Lillian to use for Harumi. FUCK YOU LEGO, i still love both of em tho,, The event did leave a big scar and it made Lillian job jumping for a bit, ending at Chen’s Noodles in S6~, where ya know,, stuff got better. She was a medalist for gymnastics and continue the activity, even after her parents’ death, to please others. She was already lost at the time so staying in the sport would help, right? Needless to say, after being rejected at a cop academy for youths, or something similar, she gave up for a while but got back into the idea of saving people by using her skills she already had. It helped with the weight and feelings and meeting the green ninja was a very big bonus. Also Lloyd dubbed her the “mysterious stranger” when she refused to speak in fear of her identity, slight shame, and maybe a bit of being star struck. It helped Lloyd too in a sense where he had something to distract him from Zane’s passing.

 Their relationship was eventually formed, strong and almost unbreakable, except for harumi but uhh thats a different story. Throughout the seasons, they stayed close and lloyd was always comforted by Lillian went times get ruff.

Also Lillian is my most light-hearted characters and I think that says a lot

Then there’s Nite “I don’t want to be your dad”. A character that is supposed to be in the ninjago world but barely interacts with the main story and only stays in his self contained plot. He was supposed to get a bf but uhhh idk. He’s the master of shifting and streams that online, taking out small crimes, and is actually really shy and doesn’t like interacting with people.

also haha fortnite

Nora Akino, the sin of despair! its an ad thing, I think. She speaks only in a foreign language that only Odin understands and is either big gay for Ava or Maggi, she can’t pick. And yes she did drink the vial, when TITAN attacks your planet and you accidentally die, how else can you meet your family again? also my grandpa walked in and said she looks like royalty. cool-

she wouldn’t leave my hand for like,, 3 days or something

Petri, a fellow troublemaker at camp campbell’s music camp. She managed to pick the camp because apparently a parent who doesn’t acknowledge your hard work don’t read the fine print! Please let David adopt her,,

LASTLY! Yukimaru Atsuko, hero name; Gummie. She goes by Yuki and is a big dick. She’s a studious student but gets more thrills on the actual battlefield. Living with her uptight grandma and her big bottom energy bro, she has the dom energy thing going. and apparently folks on G+, or the people who comment about her, thinks she’s really pretty, which was oddly a thing back before UA. She’s the dick you can like, not like Bakugou but she will definitely want to fight Bakugou. 

A gum-related quirk is not full of perks when its only your hands. I’d dive more into her like her insecurities and stuff but I’ve been here for probably 3hrs. Sorry anon.

Also I’m so sorry to anyone who reads this all the way through.

AU Thursday: That Coffee Shop AU -- So Call Me Maybe

Found myself inspired again regarding the Coffee Shop AU my friend @dont-offend-the-bees came up with! I was curious about how that first phone call post-napkin number might go down, so -- here. Enjoy! (Under the cut because it’s kinda long)

Hmmm. . . .

Alice stood in front of the mirror contemplatively, examining herself in her Siren dress. "You're harder to puzzle out than I first thought," she informed it. "I mean, the jellyfish-like underskirt is just a start. Where am I going to find just the right shades of green and pink? And get them to fade into each other? How am I going to make the scales for the middle? How about the fish head on the back? And just what am I meant to do about the bits that glow?"

"LEDs sewn in should work," her reflection replied, holding up the skirt to examine the shimmering stripes more closely. "And the scales can be done. They'll just take a lot of crimping and sewing. And Angler Yves could be made out of paper mache."

"Hmm – perhaps," Alice agreed, twisting her head around to get a better look at the spiny head. "Though the dangling bit could pose another problem. And I was kind of hoping for a dress that might survive a dip in a pool."

Her reflection chuckled. "We should probably concentrate on completing our final project before getting that ambitious."

"I suppose, but – still. Wouldn't it be nice to have a few underwater shots to wow our costuming teacher?"

"Yes, but waterproof fabrics are likely to be more expensive. And need to be dyed."

"Oh, everything's going to need to be dyed, I don't doubt for a moment no manufacturer on earth is going to be able to match the shades–"

Bzzz bzzz bzzz bzzz bzzz

Alice blinked, and her Siren dress vanished, replaced by the white shirt and jeans she'd thrown on earlier. Her reflection went silent, back to simply mimicking her movements in reverse. Shame, she was often Alice's main source of intelligent conversation. She frowned about her room. "Now what was that?"

It didn't take long to locate the source of the noise – her phone, usually a silent observer of her homework, was vibrating like mad beside the desk lamp. She picked it up and checked the screen. She wasn't expecting any calls, but you never knew when Sunny Brews would demand an extra shift. . .

Unknown Number greeted her curious eyes. Ah. Probably just a telemarketer, she thought, shaking her head. Her thumb went toward the "deny" button. Well, sorry to deny you the chance to hone your pitch, but I have much better things to do than hear how I could win a thousand pounds if I just give you my credit card number.

Purrhaps – but I seem to recall you sent a line out into the great sea of humanity earlier, Cheshire's voice suddenly intruded. Normally anglers are eager to get a nibble, aren't they?

What are you talking about, mang – oh. Oh! Her thumb reversed course, stabbing the "accept" button just before the whole thing went over to voicemail. "Hello?"

"Oh – ah – hi," a familiar voice replied. Alice let out a tiny sigh of relief. "I was just – I thought – a-am I interrupting something? I c-can call back–"

"No, no, nothing important," Alice assured him, as Cheshire's grin hung smugly over her shoulder. "Just homework. Took me a moment to realize it might not be a scam artist calling me." She settled herself back in her chair. "So it wasn't too presumptuous of me to put that number on your napkin."

Her caller laughed softly. It was a nice sound. "No, not at all. You quite surprised me there. I've – I've never had a girl do that before."

"Well, it's the first time I've ever done such a thing," Alice told him. "Most of the male customers who show any interest in me are either interested in free drinks or crude passes." She rolled her eyes. "I'd like to write something a little different on their napkins."

"Oh dear, I'm sure." There was a dull drumming sound, as if he were tapping his fingers on something. "But on that subject – this may sound silly, and I-I know you weren't mad, obviously, but I still feel like I should apologize for making that sketch of you. W-without your permission, I mean. I don't usually draw people. You were a bit – spur of the moment."

Alice twirled her pencil through her fingers, remembering the inked version of her face that had occupied his sketchbook page, every line crisp and clean. "Spur of the moment," she repeated. "I'd love to see what happens when you really put your mind to it."

His blush was almost audible. "Well, I-I've had a lot of practice."

"I can tell." She switched the phone to her other ear. "I suppose you're right that you should have asked me first, but as you're also right that I'm not mad, I think we can skip it. A drawing's rather harmless anyway. I never expected to be anybody's muse."

"Well, you just – you looked so – so pretty."

Alice arched an eyebrow. "Cleaning up garbage?"

"It was something about your face," he explained. "The set of your lips, the fire in your eyes. . .it seemed a crime to just let it pass by without trying to preserve it."

Someone thought she was pretty – worthy of being preserved in paper and ink – when she was dumping old coffee cups and discarded muffin wrappers in the trash. Now Alice had to wonder if he could hear her blushing. "You're a flatterer," she told him, leaning her head back to look at the ceiling.

"I'm an artist," he replied. "I know beauty when I see it."

Coming from anyone else, she would have considered that a bad pick-up line. Coming from her green-tea-and-chocolate-chocolate-chip-muffin man, who'd already proved his skills with a pen, in the most sincere voice she'd ever heard. . .her cheeks had to be glowing by this point. "Well, I'm not available for life modeling just yet," she said, trying to pave over the mushy mess her heart had become.

"What – oh, no, I d-didn't mean–" he started babbling, sounding almost frightened.

"I'm joking," she quickly reassured him. "A bit nervous, are we?"

A sigh echoed down the line. "I've just – never really done this before," he admitted quietly.

"Called up a girl? Well, I haven't either, so we're in the same boat," Alice said, and was rewarded with another laugh. "Never called up a boy, either, come to think of it."

"I'm your first?" he said, surprised.

"Well, I wasn't in a good place for talking to boys–" or anyone "–for quite a while," Alice admitted, white padding slithering down the walls of her room. She shut her eyes and concentrated to clear it away. Not a good idea to hallucinate while talking to the nice young man. "But that's something we should discuss face to face. Possibly in a restaurant? I'm not going to make the list in any place with a dress code, but I could probably deal with cloth napkins."

He giggled. "I should probably get your last name first. I'd like to have you in my contacts as someone other than 'Alice the Waitress.'"

"Oi, I'm a barista," Alice told him, with no real rancor. "It's Liddell. L-i-d-d-e-l-l. Rhymes with fiddle."

"Liddell," he repeated. "All right then. I'm – well, I suppose you know from my credit card, but I'm Victor. Victor Van Dort."

"I do know, but they call them 'niceties' for a reason," Alice said, smiling. "Pleasure to meet you properly, Victor. So – I do know a pizza place not too far from the coffee shop. . ."
