Happy 2 Year Anniversary to The Chara Timeline ✨

I FINALLY made drawing references for you guys, yippie!✨

It’s wild how long I’ve been working on this comic without reference sheets. I’m never that consistent with my art style, so I figured it was a waste of time 🫥💀😔 this is my first full comic okay…

Thoughts and Feelings About the Comic Below ❤️💖💕💞

Wow. It’s been 2 years??? I thought I would be done with this comic in 2 months! I don’t know whether to feel worried or accomplished!!

(With months between each update, I understand why it’s been 2 years. I’m a slow writer and artist and well- many things have come up in my life that had to come first, like my sisters wedding! 💞 and college 😅)

I want to thank my family and friends (WHO DO NOT READ THIS COMIC- THANK GOD) 💕 AND I want to THANK YOU! The readers! 💐💐

You guys are relentless! I’m as impatient as traffic and yet you guys wait for weeks or months at a time for like 4 pages?! You guys don’t even complain!!! I truly want to thank you all for that ❤️ it helps me so much. Being busy and getting burnt out are common and it helps me feel relaxed that i'm not on a timer. Literally tho- you guys keep this comic chugging I swear. Tysm 💐

Unorganized rambling about the comic ahead :) ���️🔥

—

My feelings with this comic are actually so complicated. On one hand I hate looking at my older art because GOD IT LOOKS SO OFF I want to stab it, and then on the other hand I am so so proud of myself for even continuing it this far. Ngl the weird route has been one of my favorite parts of this comic. It took me FOREVER to figure out an ending, but damn do I still get chills >:) hehe.

I’m still miffed that I named this project “Deltarune: The Chara Timeline” I could have gone for something so much COOLER. Doesn’t help I use like 7 different titles for it either. We got Deltarune the Chara timeline, Deltarune chara timeline, THE Chara timeline, chara timeline, Ct??? Man,,, I’m crazy. I take after my family so hard. We have 3 names for each of our dogs 💀.

Comic/Animation Tip i have learned. It is VERY GOOD to make the character relatively simple in design. Shape language is also super important, ((but I never really got around to doing that before I was half way through the comic, woops.)) These things can make ur process go by so much faster. This whole comic has been a HUGE learning curve. LIKE OH MY GOD. I had to learn how to draw backgrounds, write dialogue, plan a story, learn how to draw fast and draw noses (which god damn I really still can’t). And I had to learn how the heck to squeeze art into a tiny page and make it not look grainy. It's intense!

Anyways.... this has been such an awesome opportunity! Thanks Toby Fox!

I totally ran out of “art time” for my iPad and wanted to finish this today. So it’s a bit rushed. I’ll add weapons and possibly the other characters later :)

Oh shi- I forgot to add this grainy image of the next few pages lmao

Another one of these since i haven't done it in a while! Sketch -> finished illustration

Thoughts & process below the cut :>

Out of Bounds: i deleted the sketch of this off my ipad because i didn't like it, and for months it only existed as a screenshot on discord. finally in january of this year i was like Wait Actually and decided to keep working on it. I didn't achieve the look I was going for (kind of foggy and vague. It came out too sharp and high contrast) but it was fun to throw the kitchen sink at it for an afternoon and then call it done finally. I don't remember which horse this was originally supposed to be, I think Macha?

I reused the pose, you'll find the same one in my Pascal sketchbook from the section on gait studies. That's the cool thing about doing 30 sketches at once, you can finish them up any time you like for a different drawing

The Fool ft Islin: the original concept for this is from [takes a moment to decipher the american date system on discord] January 2022

It wasn't dynamic enough, but I've had this on the backburner for sooo long. I think I completed like 4 cards in between this sketch and the final version lol. But, for a bit of background, this is from my series of major arcana based in Inver, and in particular the events of the 1860s-era book series, Moth Viper Foal (a demo of the first book, Said The Black Horse, is available for free/pwyw in my shop). This scene is a companion to Said The Black Horse, depicting the aftermath of the traumatic fight that caused Islin to storm off. He had been working at the mill as a semiprofessional back alley surgeon when he received an offer to join the church and work as a trained surgeon in their hospital. But when he brought the good news back to his friends it was met with utter rejection, driving him to basically run away to join the church. while gay and trans. thus the card.

he didn't actually bring a bag with him when he ran out but for the sake of the card i drew him with one

Gryfon and Pantera: This is how 99% of holy beast drawings start out, even the super stylised ones. I struggle a lot to draw them in procreate so they start in sai and then i transfer them over. The story of this is already explained in the caption of the original post so I'll just talk about the process which was... honestly torturous. I actually don't like too much textures and effects on things (wild, I know) and this one and Out of Bounds are ones where I kind of preferred it pre-texturising.

The text on the side is the official in-universe report of the event, detailing the casualties, the valiant actions of Gryfon's knight before he died and so on. There's also spoilers in there :>

My main struggle with this art style is how it always ends up slightly TOO sharp and crisp in a way the just a blur filter never can correct. There's not a lot of immersion to break, to be fair, but I think this still does it a little. I need to get more comfortable doing the lines with larger and softer brushes, and allowing imperfections.

Today I woke up with an unexplainable hunger for something I couldn't quite place my finger on. I thought it might be a certain food, so I picked up my favorite takeout and allowed my legs to take me to my favorite place. 

Me: Been having a craving all day so I picked up some food if you’re hungry 

Channie ❣️: Just got home so I’m starving. Come on up :) 

Smiling down at my phone, I buzzed up to said apartment. I was doing this a lot recently, both buzzing up and smiling at my phone. It was all because of him. He made it very easy to be happy with my life these days. He was getting good at surprising me at work, sending me things like flowers and signing them ‘Chris’ and texting me that he had lunch delivered there for me. Such thoughtful things that I hadn’t had before. And being intimate with him was even better. He was so attentive to how my body responded that he quickly found out what I liked and didn’t. It wasn’t hard when I liked just about everything he did. He could just stand there and I’d be able to take care of myself. All he had to do was look at me with those doe eyes and I was putty in his hands to do with as he liked. And when he started to strip, which was often, my eyes had to be physically moved from his body back up to his face by his grip on my chin. One time he actually caught me drooling, which I should have been embarrassed about but couldn’t be bothered. He was just that powerful. Maybe I did know what my craving was…

Opening the door to the apartment, I immediately spot Felix and Han playing video games on the couch, Hyunjin sitting in a chair beside them drawing on his iPad and deep in concentration. 

“Hi boys.” I sing-songed to the members in the room. I got mumbles in response, all of them obviously too engrossed in their respective activities. I shook my head at them and put their portion of the food on the counter. I stayed for a few seconds just to see if they would react and once the smell hit them, they all came running and tripping over themselves to get the good bits. Felix was the first to embrace me in thanks and Han wasn’t far behind. Soon enough, I was fully engulfed in different smells of cologne all fighting their way up my nose in a four-way embrace and a chorus of ‘thank you’s. The first one to hug me and the last one to let go, Felix kissed my cheek and expressed his thanks in his best child voice. 

“Agghh okay okay you’re welcome. Now I have to go make my last delivery.” I held up the last bag for myself and Chan for them to see, starting my trek down the hallway. They immediately went back to their game and iPad, now chowing down on proof of my love for them. 

Knocking on the familiar door, I crack it open to see Chan in his normal shirt and gym shorts with his controller in hand and gaming headphones on one ear, the ear closest to me exposed to listen out for me. He turns his head and his eyes go to the bag I’m holding and his eyes widen. I lock the door behind me.

“Oh that place is so good. I’m just going to finish this game and I’ll be all yours, okay?” 

“Okay but I’m not waiting for you because I am starving.” I tuck into the box of noodles as I sit against his headboard, legs stretched out in front of me. He scoots up into my legs to nestle himself between them, his head laying on my chest and his elbows resting on my thighs. He looked so comfortable that I tried to move as little as possible while I ate but I was finding it very difficult not to spill anything on him or myself, eventually failing. 

“Shit. Hey babe, get up, I got it on my shirt. Can I borrow-”

“Of course, you know I love it when you wear my stuff.” He responded, moving to his previous spot without looking at me. I grabbed a shirt from his dresser and ran to the bathroom. Looking at the damage on my own shirt in the bathroom mirror, I figured it was a lost cost, the stain too noticeable to consider saving it. I grabbed Chan’s shirt when I had a better idea. Seeing Chan just sitting on the bed gave me an idea I had seen earlier that week. Looking myself in the eye to boost my confidence, I start stripping, leaving my clothes on the bathroom floor and crack open the door to see if Chan was facing me. He wasn’t, still fully engrossed in his game. Perfect.

Mostly undressed save for Chan’s shirt, I strolled for his bed again, lining myself up directly behind him. My hands find his shoulders, pulling him to lay down in front of me. He goes along with it, his controller being discarded to his side once I swing my leg over his head and place my southern lips directly onto his mouth. A small hum of surprise came from him until his arms wind themselves around my thighs to hook me in place as he looked hungrily at his meal and licked his lips before attacking my folds with that magic tongue of his, licking a thick stripe up along them. His eyes shot to mine as I let a moan escape, that tongue finding its way to my clit. He wraps his mouth around it and begins to suck as if his life depended on it. I could do nothing but throw my head back as my eyes rolled back. He pulls on my thighs to force me to put my full weight on him, the rest of my sex exposed to him. Exactly what he wanted. 

He nudged my hips, encouraging me to move, to ride his face like I wanted. My hips moved with a mind of their own, my own brain clouded with each flick of his tongue. I brought my hand up to my breasts to fondle them through the shirt. Chan tugged on it, not wanting to miss anything. I pulled it off and continued, another moan coming out louder as he inserted two fingers into my entrance and started to pump them in and out at an excruciatingly slow pace. The contrast of the borderline violent attack on my clit and the slow pace of his fingers was keeping me on the verge of what I needed.

I knew if I looked at him again I would find the exact thing that would send me over the edge. I didn’t want to give up that quickly. I felt his lips pull away from me. “Look at me.” I couldn't resist when he dropped his voice like that. I knew I was done for when I saw him underneath me staring at my face with hooded eyes, his nose resting just above my clit while his lips continued to suck and flick with his tongue. I couldn’t take my eyes off of him as I felt my release start to build in my core, so close to the edge. I buckled, my arms barely catching me as I folded over him as I continued to ride him through the brink he was bringing me to. 

“I wanna hear you when you cum but you have to be quiet.” He resumed his assault and it didn’t take long until I shuddered, my release crashing like waves as I rode through it. My moans were stifled by my fist as well as they could’ve been while he still had a hold of me. He released my pelvis and moved from under me. I felt myself collapse on his bed, his weight coming up behind me as he sat on me with his knees enclosing my legs together. I felt his bulge pressing into me through his shorts as he whispered,

“Funny, that was what I was craving too.”

Learned the about clair-obscure in school and ran with it (It’s the only way I can make my art look decent)

ANYWAY I got a some questions so here’s a quick FAQ!

What program do you use?

I use MediBang Paint on an iPad with an Apple pencil. And also IbisPaint X for the finishing touch regarding colour and moving stuff.

What brushes do you use?

The standard sumi brush and airbrush in Medibang paint.

For how long have you been drawing?

I started doing digital art in 2018? I’m too lazy to watch tutorials but most of my digital art skills come from a dark past I’d rather not talk about. (I was a Gachatuber)

Progress Report #2

Quite a lot has happened since the last update, some good, some bad...

First of all, there’s the pre-production phase.  Last time, I mentioned that I had to do the color schemes for Sasha and the obstacles.  To be honest, that was much harder than I anticipated.  The first issue was that I switched to digital for the color scheme.  I am still not good at drawing on an iPad, so it took a while to finish the drawing.  Then, there was actually figuring out Sasha’s colors.  I had decided early on that her main color would be green.  Beyond that, though, everything was difficult.  I experimented with a lot of different colors schemes, but they were not working.  At one point, I figured out one reason why I was having trouble: Sasha’s boots were messing with the balance of colors.  So, I redesigned her to have longer pants and sneakers instead.  Not only did this make her palette work better, but I feel that this makes Sasha look more like a vigilante teenager (versus the boots, which I now think made her look more like a professional soldier).  The palette on the far right (not the transparent one :P) is the one I decided to stick with for the time being, though for reasons I’ll explain soon, I may change it again…

I also did the color schemes for the firewalls and servers, which was much easier.  Then, I worked on the UI.  This is where I encountered yet another issue with the color scheme.  I originally wanted the floor of the play area to be a light color with dark grid lines.  However, I found that the opposite (dark with light grid lines) works better.  The only problem is that now, the servers, firewalls, and even Sasha don’t stand out enough against the floor.  This is clear when you look at the grayscale version of the UI: Sasha and the obstacles are already dark, so they almost blend in with the floor.  Since I already decided that the floor needs to be dark, the only solution will be to change the color schemes of Sasha and the obstacles… hopefully, I can find some time to do this.

Okay, but enough of the bad news.  Let’s get to the good news.  Save for adding the concept art, I finished the game design document (or at least the first draft… I’ll explain pretty soon).  I also got started on the first build of the game!  I have included a video showcasing what I have so far:

That being said, I am not completely finished with this build yet.  As you can see in the video, Sasha (the blue square) moves and shoots at the same time.  However, I want to make it where she will only shoot once she has finished moving.  I think I will be able to figure this out rather easily, though.

Of course, making this build didn’t come with its challenges.  The first obstacle involved following a tutorial I probably didn’t need to follow; although it was useful for creating the grid, I realized that it also involved a movement system that my game would not use.  Once I realized this, I decided to stop following it. 

A bigger issue involved Sasha’s movement.  I encountered so many bugs when trying to program it, such as:

Sasha not being perfectly aligned to the grid when she stopped moving

Sasha shaking uncontrollably whenever she stopped moving (and even when I just booted up the game)

Sasha not even moving at all

Sasha respawning at the wrong area when she ran into an obstacle (she is supposed to respawn at her last position)

Fortunately, I was able to solve all of these issues.  Right now, besides making Sasha shoot after she finishes moving, my biggest issue involves the respawn mechanic.  I originally had it where Sasha immediately respawns.  However, my plan was for her to have a short “hurt” animation beforehand.  The only problem is that Sasha seems to get stuck inside the obstacle.  This means that the collision code keeps triggering, meaning that Sasha will never get a chance to respawn.  I think I can find a way around this, but it may involve changing the animation I had planned.

Speaking of changing plans, I have decided to remove the eviction bot from the game.  Considering all the trouble I’ve been having with the code so far, I do not feel too confident that I can properly implement this feature.  The main reason I had the eviction bot was to force the player to keep moving across the grid; now, I’m thinking that I can do this just by placing the servers and firewalls in a certain way so that the player cannot shoot all of the former down from a single position.  I’ll have to update the game design document to reflect this.

That’s everything that has happened up to this point.  In the next few weeks, I’ll finish the build and redo the color schemes (I’m also thinking of changing Sasha’s hair style… we’ll see…).  Then, it will be time for some playtesting.  Let’s see how things go from here…

I’ve decided to continue talking about my “Shadow’s Kid Army” shit cause I couldn’t fit all the drawings I had in the first post soooooo

Part 2!!!!

I’m gonna start of with the image that started it all

THIS ONE!!! ⬆️ ⬆️ ⬆️

As you can see, 4 of them didn’t have names. Them now being Lydia, Jules, Belle, and Rowan. Also Rowan’s base sketch looked like Yugi from Yugio! At least in my opinion so that was their place-holder name until I came up with a better one lol

You also finally get to see my design for Shadow! Him and his third eye. That whole canvas actually started with that Shadow drawing too! I just wanted to draw an angy Shadow for practice and it evolved into that whole thing.

Kirra also wasn’t a thing until maybe a week later?

Same goes for the little family tree thing I had made. She just didn’t exist yet, plus they had 9 kids at the time and didn’t think it would be right to add a 10th but she’s here now and they aren’t getting any more! (At least I hope…)

I just realized that Shadow has 7 kids that are biologically his… Wow he actually does have an army…

This is when I decided to add a 10th kid. My friend had given me the idea of Metal and Amy just walking in and asking him to make them a robot kid 😆 Just to continue their “army”! This is still one of my most favorite things I made that’s just fuckin random as hell.

Multiple drawings of just Metal Sonic, plus one where he realizes that Jules kinda looks like an organic version of him.

I really just wanted to practice expressions on him. Mostly cause of an unfinished comic where he just drowns due to a fish.

Not the best quality but I spent like 30 minutes looking for a better up to date version cause I’m too lazy to get out of bed and charge my iPad to get a screenshot so this will have to do!

The concept is-

The whole family is on a camping trip by a lake somewhere.

All the tens have been set up, most of the kids are chilling and doing there own thing. Shadow is taking Jules and Kirra to get fire wood n shit, Alis and Eric are chilling by the water, Maria is watching Sam fail at hiding something behind his back to Amy, Lydia is also chilling by the water somewhere, and Silver is already in the lake relaxing. Sol wasn’t there and was with his mom.

Sonic and Metal are chattin’. Just havin a conversation about whatever, but then Sonic asks Metal if he’d want to race across the Lake. Ya’know just being rivals n shit. Metal agrees and they get ready. In the background we see Amy chasing Sam.

They count down “3-2-1” and they’re off! Sonic running across the waters surface while Metal is just flying over.

Silver literally has no clue about what’s happening. He had actually fallen asleep for a minute and doesn’t know that he’s in their direct pathway. Sonic and Metal also don’t realize cause they’re too focused on beating the other.

As Sonic and Metal get closer, a few of the kids realize that Silver is gonna ran-over essentially. So Lydia is yelling at Silver to swim faster while Alis is trying to tell Sonic and Metal to stop. Which doesn’t happen and Silver ends up being splashed and pushed under the water. He loses he cool shades and is upset after they pass over him.

As Sonic and Metal get to the center of the lake, a fish ends up jumping out of the water. At a pretty bad time too cause it’s directly in Metal’s way and lined up with his engine.

(Now we’re at the parts that aren’t drawn)

The fish ends up inside Metal’s torso, causing him to abruptly stop. Since he can’t speak Sonic just keeps on going until he’s back on land.

At this point everyone has been looking at their race and has noticed that Metal is fucking drowning and the only one closest to him is Sonic. They start yelling and getting his attention. When Sonic realizes this he quickly makes his way to Metal(albeit kinda scared cause he’s in the water now and not just over it). But he manages to get Metal out and back to land where he isn’t responding.

At this point Sonic, Amy, Shadow, and a few of the kids are there trying to get him to boot back up to no avail. Realizing that he had taken on too much water Sonic decides to take him to Eggman to get him fixed immediately. The rest of the family decides to pack up their shit and try again another day while Sonic running Metal to Eggman.

Sonic busts through Eggman’s door and says something along the lines of

“Yo your son kinda fuckin drowned, don’t know how but you need to fix him otherwise Amy will be pissed byeeeee~” as he justs sets Metal down and runs out.

Then it would just cut to Eggman pulling a charred wet fish out of Metal and being hella confused

Just gonna end this post with this random drawing lol

I’ve been chatting on Reddit about aphansasia and someone shared this essay with me. (Below is a screenshot that stood out)

I relate to about 90% of what he’s shared of his experience.

One thing has been vexing me when it comes to accepting that I have a very poor ability to visualise - and certainly my former friend wanted to use as a valid example to disprove I have no visual imagination. I can imagine, make up, play with lots of things in my brain. I have a rich inner world. How do I make @stupidlittledoodles if I can’t visualise?

This is how…

Milk voice = the neutral voice in your head that reminds you to buy milk. Do the dishes. Etc.

The doodles are visual mad libs. I don’t imagine images and go ooh I should draw that. I don’t see the doodle in my head as it is seen on the page. I experience concepts.

Me in my head:

- lol i bet a reverse mermaid but it’s a bloke and has a human penis would look funny.

- Lol remember that time my partner ran around the house with his dick and balls out the top of his jeans and I called it a blep and we found it hilarious.

- my cat is such a slut. She needs an only fans. Oh wait what if there was an only fans for cats. What would it be called?? Only Felines. She’d do some camming. She’d need a laptop…

They’re simple so I DONT have to spend time looking for a reference. A few are traced so I can make them quickly without too much effort to communicate the concept easily, and the touch of realism adds to the lols. I use my iPad like an accessibility tool bc it’s quicker to edit as I go than analogue sketching. They’re not meant to look realistic on the whole.

It’s interesting to me that I started these doodles as a way to move away from perfectionism & let go of realism, because all I have is realism. I can only see what’s real when I open my eyes. I cannot picture surrealism. I can gather references for the concepts of surrealism, or specific artistic techniques, or styles of artistic greats, and years of study mean I can replicate these things into creating something uniquely mine. But I don’t see the image. I judge each stroke as I go. It’s like pulling a thread.

Problem is, with stupid little doodles, my brain isn’t able to mad lib like that all the time. The ideas I get are sparked by quips in conversations, random bits between friends, jokes, maybe even vocalised visual randomness from other peoples brains, that I’m able to illustrate. I live a very solitary life these days so im not exposed to these moments often, and I miss that creativity. It only happens when I’m bouncing off other people. I’ve sat with this feeling of personal failure for a while, why don’t I do them anymore? I really love creating them. They’re like a dopamine button for me too! Maybe I’ll figure out ways to spark this part of my brain again. For now I’m choosing to focus elsewhere.

A lot of my creativity comes this way. A solitary life suits me, but doesn’t suit my creativity. I have to externalise a lot of my brain to function, so lot of my ideas are externally generated through my unique perspective human experience. I’m not sure how to describe this process entirely yet. But it’s been on my mind for a while. In order to make art I need to go out in the world and have experiences, but there’s people and things out there, so I stay in.

I’ll get back to the world soon I hope. Burnout is a bitch.

August 23rd, 2023

Time spent - 10 days

A few days ago , some stranger hit my local street dog who was a female and recently had puppies. We used to feed her food everyday and she would always be outside out house’s gate. We realized on August 19th that she hadn’t been coming for so many days, and even tried looking for her and camera footage. Unfortunately there was no sign of her presence until my neighbor caught footage of a car hitting her and running away. From asking more locals we learned that she died. Since we had the license plate number, we file a complaint to the cops but we were more worried about her puppies. Since my mother walks my dog every evening, she told me that our local street dog had three puppies in an empty land area. During the 23rd of August in the evening, we went to search for the dogs but there was no sign. We asked people who lived nearby and even they had no clue where the puppies were. My mom and I kept trying to find the puppies and raised awareness locally. Two days later, at the same spot we found one puppy that was sleeping. Approaching it, I tried to catch it but it ran to the deeper ends of the land mass where there was a saturation of tree branches and bushes. Although, that puppy was not the only puppy there. Including that puppy, two more of her puppies were there. Being someone who loves dogs, I tried to go in the bushes to rescue them but there was no way I could because they were small and tiny. As well, I tried to ask friends to help but we were all incapable of. In my area the local animal organizations emphasized more on money rather than rescue so they were not of any help either. One thing was sure though- that the puppies were small and they were not big enough or had the bravery to step outside. My mom and I fed them food and water by leaving food out at the land mass so they could eat it and maintain their lifestyle without their maternal figure. Whilst waiting for them to become bigger and less scared of us, I posted the situation all over instagram and got much attention. It was a fact that at this point we were looking for adoptions so these puppies wouldn’t suffer the same fate as their mother. Instead of catching them and posting pictures of them because it was less feasible to, I made a drawing of puppies to raise awareness for adopting stray breeds rather than buying breeds for luxury and one’s profile. Being someone who is not a drawer, this took alot of time to make on my ipad. At the time I did not have an apple pencil, so I used GoodNotes and my fingers to make it. The drawing turned out amazing and got many reactions. In fact, many people wanted to adopt the dogs. Unfortunately, on August 30th, a week after we found them, this offer was dropped because their paternal figure appeared again and seemed to be taking care of them. Instead of separating them from their parents to give for adoption, I let them stay with their father.

"Perfect day to relax on the beach, right guys?"

It's the middle of July in Aunov, which means the height of summer has arrived. It's the hottest time of year, the brightest and longest the sun is out. Folks are staying inside as much as possible in the air conditioning, in pools, or as we see our quartet, at the beach. We find Cinnamon, Cookie, and Mac all enjoying themselves on this summer equinox along the southern Aunova shores, basking in the sun as they all share a conversation and relax. Cherry, on the other handpaw, seems to have found himself volunteering (or being volun-told) to be Cookie's beach towel. But can you really be upset at that? You get free hugs from him!

This is perhaps one of my favorite drawings that I've done in a long time. Originally, I planned to participate in Art Fight this year; I had planned to be on vacation for the entire month of July as early as last year to spend it with my boyfriend, and found the timing to be perfect to jump in. However, I was pretty sidetracked with taking care of Grandma's house, work, and preparing for my trip throughout May and June, and for two weeks on vacation, I still couldn't fight off art block. That is, until I decided to resurface an old sketch I had done in February 2021, which was meant for a new character reference. I was pretty happy with the pose (until I ran out of page space again), but felt that it would work better for something different, and converted it into this. Originally, this picture was going to be just Cookie. However, through conversations and ideas posed by my friends on Discord, it then became involving Mac, which then also became involving Cinnamon, and then also getting Cherry in here somehow. With the exception of Cherry, everyone in this picture was drawn from scratch, using bits and pieces from other sketches and drawings to get the right angles that I wanted. I spent all of Friday, July 14 coloring Cookie; most of Tuesday, July 18 sketching Mac and Cinnamon respectively, and then all of Wednesday, July 19 coloring them both and creating the background along with altering old art of Cherry to make him appear flat.

This is perhaps one of the largest pictures I've also ever made, coming in at 15,000 × 10,000, and that's really just a side effect of the canvas sizes I draw on. But it also ended up being this way because I was including three full-body characters in the same frame. If you couldn't tell, I really enjoy drawing full-body. Still, it's a reminder that in the future, I really should draw on smaller canvases and color on smaller canvases as well. That, or just start learning how to color on the iPad only. Shoutout to LilArrin and his custom PC for handling this mammoth project that didn't need to be this way, it handled the whole process so flawlessly that my iMac back home would've screamed trying to handle a canvas this size. But I love the way it came out, I loved drawing everyone in this picture, especially Mac. Sure, he doesn't wear much already, so that gave me the opportunity to come up with a summer outfit, and it's a good thing Beach Koopas are a thing because that was the perfect base to work with. Turn his glasses into sunglasses, give him a tank top and sandals and design both it and his beach towel with circuitry. Man, I love this look, I really wanna try and incorporate it into a new look for him sometime. Cinnamon was also a ton of fun to draw, it was just a bit harder with the angle she was in, and that includes her skirt.

Anyway, thanks for looking! I hope everyone's been able to enjoy their summer! ☀️

Paring: Aidan Gallagher X Fem!Reader

Summary: Aidan meets an unusually pretty girl at a library while trying to find a textbook for school

Warnings: Cursing

This male was not easily captivated by females. His heart was guarded with the highest of security. Being hurt multiple times was the reason for his high guard.

Not only that, but he was surrounded by actresses and models his entire life. Pretty girls didn’t phase him. Smart girls did. Intelligence was a significant impresser for him.

This girl, whom he found himself falling for, was extremely intelligent. She was a good beauty, of course, but her smarts are what made her stand out. Her sense of style was odd as well.

Her earrings had Yahtzee tiles, the right ear had the letter F, and the left had the letter U. She wouldn’t be her without her signature, Doc Martens. A blank jacket usually resided around her waist, along with a graphic tee covering her chest. Jeans or leggings were generally on her legs.

Aidan adored her. She was gorgeous, and her brains were brilliant. Her personality was bright, just like her vibrant dyed hair. This girl we’ve been speaking about, you may ask? Her name was Y/n L/n, and she was brilliant.

Y/n had finished college by the time she was just twenty, and Aidan was just finishing his associate's degree. They met at a library.

She was browsing through the comic book section like she frequently did. He was looking for a textbook, but his eyes were caught on this extraordinary female sitting at a table alone. The textbook had fallen from his hands, causing a clattering noise.

Y/n perked up at the sound and saw him. He was cute, in her opinion. But he seemed so far out of her league. He was adorable. He picked up the textbook and sent her an awkward smile that made her heart race.

She looked over at the nervous male and sent him a wink which caused his cheeks to flush a scarlet. Aidan walked over and bought the textbook. Then with hesitation, he walked to her table and sat before her.

Y/n slowly looked up from her comic book to see him with an open textbook out, accompanied by an iPad which was meant for writing notes. Y/n’s head laid in the palms of her hands.

“ Did I startle you? “ Aidan queried nervously, “ No, not at all. But it seems that I have surprised you. “ Y/n smirked, and Aidan blushed again.

“ Y- You did startle me. “ Aidan stammered, “ That’s adorable. “ Y/n snickered.

“ Whatcha got their pretty boy? “ Y/n questioned, trying to glimpse at the textbook, “ O- Oh, it’s um- “ Aidan began as he scrambled through his notes.

“ It’s my last class. I need to get my associate's degree. I graduate in December. “ Aidan answered, “ I remember those days. “ Y/n reminisced.

Aidan furrowed his eyebrows at the girl, “ Got a question for me? “ Y/n teased, “ I don’t mean to be rude, but how old are you? “ Aidan asked out of pure curiosity.

“ Twenty years old graduated college with my bachelors in May. “ Y/n responded, and Aidan was taken aback, “ H- How? “

Y/n chuckled, “ I started college my junior year of high school. I work as a comic book artist. This is part of my work. I analyze comic books because it helps me when working to draw my characters. “

“ H- Have you read The Umbrella Academy? “ Aidan inquired, “ Indeed. It was one of my assignments to analyze it in college. I’ve also watched the Netflix series. You are Number Five, if I’m not mistaken. “ Y/n explained.

Aidan visually gulped, “ Y- Yeah. I did play Number Five. “ Aidan replied, “ So you’re the famous Aidan Gallagher. “ Y/n taunted.

“ I guess so. “ Aidan responded, “ So Whats someone as famous as you talking to little me? Mm? “

Aidan’s cheeks flushed again, “ Y- You caught my eye. I think you’re pretty. “ The male nervously spoke, “ But if the rumors are true, beauty doesn’t appeal to you. Intelligence does. “ Y/n replied with a slight smirk.

Aidan didn’t speak. She knew him or knew about him. She was smart, brilliant. She had all her facts and knew them like the back of her hand. It left him astonished.

“ Might wanna close your mouth. You might catch swallow a fly by accident. However, it’s just a suggestion. “ Y/n winked, and Aidan immediately closed his jaw.

Without another second passing, Y/n stood up with her book in hand. Then she exited the building. Aidan was left in shock at the forward female. Now he was left wondering if he would ever see him again.

A couple of days later, it was Saturday. This meant that Aidan would go live for his Patreon. Secretly he hoped that the girl would join. Hell, he didn’t even get her name. He’d never find her again.

Aidan started the live, and immediately the chat was filled with different comments. The male searched through some of them. He was desperately looking for something to start a conversation with.

“ ‘Do you have more music planned?’ “ Aidan read aloud, “ Yes, indeed I do. I’ve recently been overwhelmed with inspiration. “ The male answered.

Again he skimmed through the comments, “ ‘What was the past week like?’ “ Aidan questioned, “ Well, I’d say it was interesting. I met this person getting my textbook for my last class, and they were very intriguing. “

Now the comments were flooded with questions asking who this person was or what they looked like. Aidan scratched the back of his neck nervously.

“ I- I actually didn’t get their name. “ Aidan stuttered out, “ ‘What did they look like?’ Well, they had dyed hair and sported a pair of glasses. They also had Yahtzee earrings. They were really cool lookin’. Regardless they caught my attention. We had a little chat, and then they left. “ Aidan explained.

That’s as far into detail as Aidan got when speaking about her. Truthfully he couldn’t say much more other than how confident and cocky she appeared to be.

After finishing his class on Monday, he scrambled to grab his things and head to the library. But this time, he had a specific gift for the girl who he didn’t know the name of. However, he thought the gift would be much better in her hands than his.

So, without a second thought, Aidan sat down at the same table and began notes. The sound of a bell ringing is what caught his attention. There she was. She was handing the librarian a stack of comic books.

His eyebrows furrowed in confusion. The girl then proceeded to walk out of the door, and Aidan grabbed the gift to follow her.

“ Wait! “ He shouted as he left the library.

Y/n turned around to be met with the boy she met only days ago, “ Hello? “ The confident female chuckled, “ I- I saw you check in all those comic books and not getting any. May I ask why? “ Aidan queried out of breath.

“ Well, if you must know, I’m moving. It turns out Los Angeles isn’t the place for me. “ Y/n responded, her tone airy and light, “ O- Oh. Well, I wanted to give this to you. “ Aidan spoke, slightly disappointed at the news.

Y/n took the comic in his hand. It was the first issue of the Umbrella Academy, “ I love the thought, but I already have a copy. “ Y/n denied softly, “ Open it. “ Aidan replied.

Hesitating, she opened the comic. On the first page was a signature. Not just anyone’s signature. Gerard way’s signature. That had been her idol for years and the entire reason she was in the field of comic book illustrating.

“ D- Do you like it? “ Aidan asked nervously, “ How did you? And why? Stuff like this is valuable. “ Y/n said as thoughts ran past her head.

“ Well, I have the other copies signed at my apartment. I thought this would be much better in your hands. “ The male smiled, “ I hope you don’t mind, but I may have accidentally left a bookmark in there. “

Y/n shook her head, “ No problem. “

Y/n smiled and kissed his cheek. Aidan’s cheeks flushed a bright pink, and Y/n smiled as she clutched the comic close to her chest.

“ Y/n L/n. Remember it. “ Y/n winked as she walked away.

Aidan watched as she left him on the sidewalk dumbfounded, “ Oh, I’m so fucked. “ Aidan murmured, knowing he was wrapped around her finger.

Welcome to my fanart blog! Thank you for watching my works and giving me your impressions. I paint and upload them at the pace as walking or as melting fallen snow by basking in warm sunlight.

On the occasion of Sonic 30th year.

Happy 30th anniversary, Sonic! 19 years have passed since I became a fan of “the stories”.

When I was a kid, I was completely absorbed in the adventure tales of Sonic and all the characters, and I’ve enjoyed them of the games or Sonic X over and over again. I especially loved them written by Shiro Maekawa. I was born and raised as the first of four children of slightly overprotective parents. My father was strict with his children and I assumed my mother loved only my sister and brothers, so I was an introverted girl and felt lonely. For being in this home environment, I could sympathize a lot with Chris, the main character of Sonic X. This was the one of the reasons why I admired once-sonic and the others. They loved being free to do anything, living lives on their own ways and looked so alive. Sonic team didn’t used to express heroism which praised for positive outlooks and being strong, but they created touching stories made me sad inside and stirred up my imagination back then. These stories have grasped my heart and mind even now.

I drew sketches of the characters with a pencil on notebooks many times then. I started to draw digital images on ipad this year because I wanted to congratulate Sonic for his 30th anniversary. I also created my blog on this occasion. In my girlhood, I had only longed for contributing my fanart to Sonic channel, Japanese official website of Sonic series, and I could fulfill my dream in 2021; I submitted my illustrations twice and SEGA carried both of them. I really enjoyed drawing my works :-)

When we got into troubles or get depressed, Sonic and his friends gave us courage in our hearts and pushed us forward like following winds. In former stories, they were noble, had each firm beliefs, and put their thoughts in powerful and gentle words. Every one of the characters had unique personality. Although they lived and ran as free as they could be like strong winds, their words and attitudes towards lives never left those who felt lonesome behind, and sticked close to our hearts. They showed something like signposts for people to lift our faces and to move forward, and these guides sometimes would have became invaluable to their lives. I think my favorite and the coolest Sonic and all the guys are in that era, and they have been still in my minds. I am sure that the flowers in my heart, which “the stories” have fertilized and raised, will never wither.

I’m not criticizing present Sonic series, but to tell the truth, I’m confused about the differences between what they are and what they used to be. However, I’m not giving up and dreaming of the day when I can see Sonic and the all again as great as what they were then in the games.

Thank you for reading to the last.

Have good holidays!

Quarantine lead to YouTube pt. 1

Masterlist

"She's pacing again." Tom said, looking up at the trapdoor to his daughter's room. " This Quarantine is driving her crazy. Marinette has only holed herself up like this for her fashion designs, now she has no work and isn't able to leave. What are we going to do?" Sabine reached out taking his hand as she followed his gaze.

"Tom, this is our Marinette. She will find something, who knows by the end of this she might write her own book." Sabine said letting out a small laugh causing her husband to grin. "I'm not saying to not worry, she is our daughter we will always worry, but we also need her to grow on her own. Marinette will find something to help her. Even if it's talking to those new friends over voice call every day. Although I will never change the fact the I believe they have the weirdest names. Now come on, we need to packaged Mayor Bourgeois order. Mr. Jean will be here soon. To pick it up and if we don't hurry he'll be here before we can place it on the table."

"You are right, as always. Let's go."

"UGH!!! TIKKI WHATS SHOULD I DO!?" Tom and Dabine looked back at the trapdoor surprised at her outburst.

"Mari, please calm down. We'll figure something out."

"See, she is in good hands with Tikki. Hopefully, after this pandemic we can have Tikki and all her other online friends over at some point." Sabine said with a wistful smile as they walked down to the bakery stopping at the door to put on gloves and a mask.

Marinette collapsed on her chase looking around her room despondent. She had finished every single fashion commission she had, and used up the last of her fabric making herself new clothes. Ran through all her sketchbooks front to back, pretty much maxed out her memory on her iPad with all her digital drawings. Rearranged her room six times and her balcony. Her morning patrol had already ended and now she had nothing to do but rearrange her room again.

The Kwami rested in their own little rooms that Marinette had made about a week in.

She has to get permission to drill 16 holes in her ceiling, but her parents hadn't minded too much. Then she had to order big enough pots so that she would have enough room for plants on the top and a little hole hidden so the Kwami could be out of the box. That had been her first pet project before she went through all her fabric.

Tikki flew over sitting g on her chosen's shoulder. She patted Marinette’s cheek gently, trying to think of a way to help her. Trixx peaked out her home watching the two before flying over to Marinette’s phone and opening it.

"I have an idea!" Trixx announced with a grin, as she opened the app she was looking for, she held up the phone showing the familiar site. "I think this will be perfect Marinette!"

"Watching videos?" She asked, doing her best to hide her disappointment at the idea. Trixx grinned wider as she flew over to Marinette’s PC.

"No, making them!"

"Alright! Hi whoever decides to watch this, I'm Mini-nette and I'm super bored so, let's play Ultimate Mecha Strike three online! The newest update to one of my favorite games that is still controversial. However I'm not going to turn my nose up at having something to do other than scream from my balcony." Marinette finished with no emotion looking at the camera blankly. She sat in silence before grinning and looking at her keyboard. "I wish I was joking." Marinette said as she minimized herself showing the game opening page fully. "Anyway now that I am Mini-Me let's start, while I am playing online I will be doing it with my friend. Since I don't have his permission let's just call him M! We usually played together, so the online update made us very happy!” She pulled up her chat screen, shooting Max a quick message before entering their usual server. “M should be in with us soon so while we are waiting I am going to pick my usual character LB-03! I will take no complaints or criticisms, I like the funky looking ladybug mecha. Oh~! M is on and of course he has picked his favorite MX-01 and now we are ready!” Marinette and Max began their battle and for a while all that was heard was Marinette furiously typing away. “No no no no yes! NO! Oh that was a lucky shot!” She cried out as Max managed to take half her health. “I will not back down!” She announced loudly glaring slightly at the screen only to be pouting a few minutes as the screen flashed ‘MR-HORSE-MAN WON’ She huffed at the teasing comment he sent her about getting rusty. “I’m going to destroy him.” She announced as she challenged him to a rematch. “A W S A! She chanted as she entered the combo. “Take that! Haha! What was that about me getting rusty M?”

She recorded a few more matches before deciding to end with them tying in wins. She typed out a goodnight to Max before returning herself to fullscreen. “Alright! Thanks to whoever decided to watch me play with my friend! I hope you have a good night or day! This is Mini-nette Signing off! Bye-Bye!” Marinette ended the video with a soft grin on her face.

“You looked like you had fun Mari.” Tikki said as she left her home flying over and resting on Marinette’s shoulder. “You two played for a long time.” Trixx flew up letting out a laugh as she twirled above Marinette’s keyboard.

“I was right, I was right!” She said before landing on Marinette’s hand hugging her thumb. Marinette hummed, lifting her hand and bringing Trixx closer to her face. “I was right, Marinette! You did enjoy it, now you just have to edit and post it! Then you can make more, with different games and-and you can even make a fashion blog!” Trixx began to ramble on excitedly, as Marinette and Tikki watched her fondly. Marinette moved her closer, kissing the top of her head.

“Yes, you were right Trixx. Thank you for the idea, but for now let's stick to one youtube channel.” She said softly as she used her other hand to open the editing software. “Now I am going to go downstairs, and grab the little plate my mom made for me. Then start editing while you all eat your dinner.” Marinetee stood from her chair shooting a smile to Wayzz as he flew to her mini burner and teapot.

“I shall start brewing our Tea Guardian Marinette.” He announced beginning to make his favorite tea, Marinette absolutely hated it, but could never say no to Wayzz. Trixx let go of Marinette’s hand flying down to the keyboard.

“I’ll pull up everything for you to edit while you're down there!”

“Thank you Trixx.” Marinette said before making her way down her ladder.

“Girl! Have you checked that Youtube account you created!!” Alya yelled over the phone as Marinette let out a fond laugh. “You blew up! You have ten thousand followers right now and you posted four days ago!”

“What…” Marinette quickly opened her laptop pulling up Youtube. She stared at her page in silence as Alya prattled on in the background. “People…people are following me?” Alya let out a snort on the other end of the phone and Marinette could tell she was rolling her eyes.

“Don’t be surprised Marinette, of course people followed you. It’s your first video and thanks to all that time you spent with Max learning different computer stuff, it is edited to practical perfection! On top of that Mari, you are you, people are just naturally drawn to you and your dorkiness.” Marinette smiled softly at Alya’s words, turning away from her laptop and picking her phone back up.

“It's just hard to grasp that people actually want to see more from me.”

“Of course they do! So that means you need to start making another one! Youtubers usually post once or twice a week so you need to get your but in gear! Plan your next video tonight, shoot and edit it tomorrow okay? Meanwhile, I’ll write up some contracts so you can use our friends' names in videos without problems. I’ll send it to you tonight and if you need help planning just call me!’

“Thanks Alya, you're the best.”

“Anything for my best friend, now I gotta get to work. Love ya girl!”

Alya called out before hanging up. Marinette was silent as she looked back at her screen.

“Time to get planning.”
