To avoid burning-out on drawing a bunch of full doodles so I could try and feel out character body language, I remembered oh yeah, stick figures exist. So here's some stuff exploring Cheebi and Vee's respective body language!
I decided to celebrate the holiday by giving a little New Year's Eve twist on @onejellyfishplease 's DTIYS! This took me forever to draw, but it was so worth it!
running a little late, but someone's finally arriving at the @kirbyoctournament !
sent in to the tourney by her well meaning friends, starstruck is a Totally Normal adult waddle dee from king dedede's kingdom of dream land! she's here to try and meet new people, and maaaybe get out of her anxious shell a little bit!
equipped with her customary cheerful attitude, she's also sporting a brand new backpack full of lovingly packed goodies to help her through the event.
if you'd like to get to know her a little better, you can check out her tag on my blog, or these three important comics from previously!
a few notes for any interactions
🌸 despite being a waddle dee, other waddle dees typically don't like being around her, and folks who already know what a waddle dee should be like also tend to get a weird vibe off her.
🌸 she is quite friendly and approachable, but prone to extreme anxiety if she perceives she might have done something wrong or inappropriate. tiny wanya takes criticism the way a handful of hay takes a flame.
🌸 if you have wings and you take her flying she'll never leave your side. she's only palm sized, so if you are big and have wings or can fly, please pick her up and go flying with her please please pleeaase she wants to go go flying and fawn over your wings so so bad
🌸 for the purposes of the tourney, which by merit of its existence is something of an au timeline, consider this event to completely predate her ability to summon these.
stars are kinda the lampshades of the sky if you think about it.
Anyway, fanart for the Open Your Shell To Find Your Wings fic, which belongs to @onejellyfishplease . I've been wanting to make fanart for a bit but today i finally had the motivation sooo ‼️ Yeah, hope you like it :3
I wanted to create a form change that, combined with Vee's usual appearance, would be a high contrast, eye-catching, and give a feeling of this mortal becoming 'ethereal, not himself.' As though he's possessed by something outside of himself. Gold was chosen for his eyes to complement and contrast sharply against his usual pink eyes.
I played around with the black sclera for a bit, but for now I've settled on the fully golden ones. [Though the black sclera MAY still make an appearance in Find Your Wings ;>]
I’d like to imagine that at one point Donnie is just picking more veggie and eating them again and then Leo walks in and just look in so much confusion as he sees his carnivore brother eat raw bellpeppers or something
I've been dying to draw him again ever since I finalized my headcanon design for default Donnie. Now he's got a long snoot! I hope you enjoy, @onejellyfishplease
As always, it's super fun to draw his wings. I get to just go ham with the sparkle brush. It's great. I'm also very happy with his expression. He looks like he's experiencing every flavor of guilt, anger, and self-loathing known to mankind.
@onejellyfishplease Beetle Boi is so cute!!! I love the fanfic a lot! I am amazed at your lighting, so I tried it myself. It's harder than I thought lol. Also, he's looking at pretty lights :>
