🖼Suguri's Art and Other Junk

Recently I decided to do something different and try a chibi art style. I was heavily inspired by @/rosetti 's @/Mistreil 's drawings BTW. Here's what it looks like:
BR20 Chibi.png

I think it's cute. Kinda generic, tho.

Maybe when I'm good enough, I'll host an art shop and draw BR20 Chibis of characters for forum bells. They'll be cheap because my art is too simplistic. Since I just started I need to practice more, so for now have these digital drawings of Sun & Cloud (by @/BTCircley) and Char (by @/ZeldaCrossing64) that I did as an exercise. More coming soon...?

Here's a tiny art dump for today. No biggie.

This one's of Face Bob being disgusted over something. I bet it's fanfiction of Kieran with questionable content in it. I, uh, kinda copied that face from @/ZeldaCrossing64 . i'm sorry... (//w//) There seemed to be something about it that made me want to draw this, but I can't quite figure out what it is...

Oh, and here are some drawings by Zelda with the same expression for reference, LOL

It's all Char BTW. I actually drew a lot of them recently, but I don't feel inclined to share my new drawings yet. I'll wait till summer comes or I feel ready enough.

Kieran the cat is back and has bumped into PaRappa's #1 fan, Pandora Nyara! Pandora was created for a project my friend @/BTCircley has been working on for a while. However, he has yet to appear in the project itself because Circley's been really busy.

Speaking of Kieran the cat, I discovered my first drawing of him in my school binder! I believe this dates back to February to March. The other cat next to him with the red polka-dots is another OC I made, whose name is Crisp.
IMG_0896.jpeg


Yeah, that's all for now. It's pretty late where I'm living so I should sleep now. Good night!
 
I meant to post here when I first saw your recent drawings, but it must've slipped my mind. 😭 Love your drawings!! The last one with Kieran the cat and Crisp is so adorable, I wanna pet them both. (Now I'm tempted to draw them.) Also happy to know that you took inspiration from some of my drawings - That expression must be fun to draw! XD
 
Hi again! I did a whole lotta drawings between my last post and now. I'll have to split them into several posts to keep things organized and so I can recharge to upload more of my art when I feel like it. There's also going to be some older drawings too, so keep reading to see them. :D

Firstly, I should show off my newest drawings. I'll start with my current PFP and signature image! I have my icon set to Kieran the cat pondering about something. I was trying to whip up a drawing of him as soon as I noticed a certain friend change their icon, and this was all I could think of. The fact that my drawing shares many similarities with the fan art @/ZeldaCrossing64 drew for me a month ago is simply a coincidence.
IMG_1031.png

And here's what I drew for Pride Month and am currently using in my signature: Crisp with a rainbow flag! When they changed their icon they also changed their signature, so of course I had to do the same thing. I couldn't help it! I might change the flag design next year once I discover my orientation. as of posting i'm convinced i may be omni, but am still in doubt atm
IMG_1032.png

Speaking of Crisp, after I finished my Pride Month art I also did this drawing of her flinching. I was inspired by Zelda's comment on how Crisp "gives me 'easily flustered/startled' vibes". Not gonna lie, I knew that long before they did. You'll see what I mean later...
_easily flustered_startled_ vibes.png

After finishing up those two, I figured it was time to share my older Crisp drawings as well as doodles of her from school. I have previously posted the doodles in the Sketchbook thread, but I believe they'll be better preserved here. To make sure things don't get clogged up, I'll put the old drawings in spoiler tags.
FYI: I have this bad habit of forgetting to draw tails, which I'm trying to improve on. On the old drawings, I drew her from memory, which is why she looks slightly different in some of them.

Anyway, this is my first digital drawing of Crisp! Crisp pixels and all.
Old Crisp.png

Here's my second digital drawing, which is of Crisp introducing herself. Fun fact: I uploaded this drawing to DeviantArt, but it didn't get much flack. The description I put there is a pretty interesting read that explains a bit about the inspiration behind her. the fanfiction, however, is scrapped.
Introducing Crisp!.png

This is a Crisp doodle I found on one of my math worksheets. I like the pose I gave her. This was what I meant when I said that I had known about Crisp's "vibes" for a while.
IMG_1017.jpeg

Lastly, I have a crayon doodle from my science worksheet, starring not just Crisp, but also Kieran the cat Suguri! I wanted to give him a name at the time, so I went with "Suguri" for a while. But now that I'm using "Suguri" as my username, he's back to just "Kieran".
IMG_1015.jpeg

Wait a second...we're talking about Crisp here! Ah, well.
And this is my last Crisp drawing for this post! I used part of this Kieran fan art as a reference. The story behind it: As some of you may know, Char is one of my current fictional crushes. One time on Discord I was texting Zelda about how I wanted to hug their OC and Kieran (not the cat, the Pokemon character) super tight, and they were like, "aaa yeah me with Crisp 😭" Then a crazy thought came to me... What if Crisp and Char had feelings for each other? And so this drawing was born anewish.
IMG_1035.jpeg

While working on that, I was reminded of something I made for my friend a few weeks ago. They sent me this traditional version of a drawing with Char and Kieran that you can see in their art thread and I thought it was cute, so I tried drawing it in my style.
IMG_0934.jpeg

I'll end this with other doodles of my black cat character! or white... I didn't bother with coloring them in here. I drew him in his edgy or "Indigo Disk" appearance as a hot minute had passed since I last drew him like that. To be honest, I like his first version better, which I'll dub his "Teal Mask" appearance. I don't know why, but there's something off about the way I drew his second version... I do like the doodle I did where he's quoting the character that inspired him, though.
IMG_0947.jpeg
IMG_0947.jpeg

And I can't forget about "Teal Mask" Kieran the cat with the scar before his transition...
IMG_0947.jpeg


That should be it for today. Part 2 is coming soon!
 
I'm so, so happy to see more drawings of Crisp!! The one with her and Char in particular is my favorite, it's so cute. T0T Your drawings are fun and full of personality, as always. 💜
 
Ok... some news. I just changed the title of my art thread. It felt like the right thing to do since I saw it as a dumping ground for the junk I made and not just drawings. For reference, it used to say "Wowzers, an art thread by Suguri!"

Also, I keep reminding myself to upload my older doodles for the "Part 2" post I mentioned earlier, but right now I don't feel ready to make a big fat art dump yet. So instead, I'll put up my more recent ones, which I've wanted to show off for a while. and it's mostly Crisp because she's so precious ;-;

To start, here's her info if she were an AC villager, which I made up recently out of boredom! I don't plan on making her a fully-fledged villager OC since she's somewhat based on the Pokemon Scarlet MC (and she doesn't wear clothes).
Name: Crisp
costume1 (5).png

Personality: Peppy
Species: Cat
Birthday: May 22nd - Gemini
Catchphrase: "yeah-yeah"
Favorite K.K. Song: ???
Hobby: Music
Favorite Saying: "There's more than one way to feed a cat."

Notes...
  • Although she was created in early 2024, I do not remember the exact date of her first appearance, so I settled with May 22nd since that was when I first shared her with the TBT community.
  • Her catchphrase is a reference to @/ZeldaCrossing64's user title when Crisp was set as their avatar. (reference) I wanted to use something else like "meowzers", but then I realized "yeah-yeah" suited her perfectly.
  • She is an avid music listener. She doesn't have a favorite K.K. song because her eclectic tastes make it hard for her to settle on the one she enjoys the most. Since Crisp is constantly discovering new songs though, she might find it eventually.
  • Copy-pasted from a Scratch project of mine: Crisp's spots around her body are colored scarlet as a reference to Pokemon Scarlet, which I own on my Switch, and her name comes from a scrapped Animal Crossing villager named Shaki; when translated from Japanese to English, "Crisp" or "Crispy" comes out. Coincidentally enough, "crisp" is also the cat villager Raymond's catchphrase.
Crisp has a ditzy and skittish personality. Her best friend is the more serious Kieran (the cat) and she has a crush on Char (an OC by @/ZeldaCrossing64).

And here's some stuff with her! Firstly, you may have noticed in my current signature image that Crisp is holding an omnisexual flag instead of a rainbow flag. That's because I'm pretty confident in my orientation now! I also really like the colors in the flag. 🩷🖤💙

Speaking of which, I pretty much drew these three when I was feeling smitten. The first one describes what love has felt like to me and it contains a French phrase that translates to "I love you, my darling". <3 The second one is more obvious. :3 The third one is a comic poking fun at the French masculine term "mon chéri(e)". I made it just before I realized "mon" was the wrong French pronoun for Crisp. T_T
ja t'aime, ma chéri.png

Here's something I drew on my NH island's bulletin board. I honestly wish I had some kind of tablet pen I could use on my Switch instead of having to resort to my finger. At least it came out pretty decent.
IMG_1058.jpeg

I also drew this while visiting my friend's island prior. Very crude, if you ask me.

If the abundance of Crisp has begun to annoy you (which I'm sorry, not sorry about), you can have this other drawing. It's @/BTCircley's Sun & Cloud version of Scratch Cat, drawn in my art style! The original is here.
S&C Scratch Cat.png


Finally, I saved the best one for last... a 10-second short with my favorite kitty, inspired by System Of A Down's song "Chic 'N' Stu"! (just so you know, I am still not a metalhead.) It derives from another work, and you'll see what I mean once you click on the short's Scratch project link here.


That's it for now! I'll be back with more soon, as always. Old, new, whatever. If I want to share it, it'll go here. See you later!
 
Well, it's been a while since I posted here. I'm trying to get myself to share some of my older drawings, but I don't have the energy. (-. -") So for now, I'll just share some pieces here!

The first of these is from this year's TBT Fair! I figured I'd share them here before they all fade into obscurity. The "A Cordial Invitation" entry will be reposted in my crochet thread soon!

Magnificent Memories
IMG_1213.jpeg
When I saw that this contest started, I knew I had to begin working on my entry! I'm very proud of this one. Buckle up because I have a lot to talk about here!

I drew my OC Crisp, sitting under a giant bell tree (referencing my first Animal Crossing game, New Leaf) and reminiscing on her past experiences. You may notice four things with her that represent existing collectibles: a blue violet, a purple balloon, a bluebird of happiness, and a Julian plush! I added the bluebird because even though I don't have it yet, its plump and kawaii design makes it my all-time favorite collectible! I will give context for the rest of the collectibles later as we get to...

...the elephant in the room! My Her TBT memories, all inside a thought bubble! From top left to bottom right:
  • When I joined the forums two years ago, it was simply so I could request a custom town tune from a user named @/kiwikenobi. She used to host a town tune creation thread that was very popular and kept it running for years until she suddenly left the forums. I drew the town tune interface with the notes arranged to form a message, "TY KIWIKENOBI", as a tribute to the thread and her generosity. I have since kept her legacy alive through my succeeding thread, which you can find a link to in my signature.
  • While I was trying to disable my collectibles for a lineup, I misclicked and discarded them on accident. I had a massive panic attack because I had just grown attached to most of them, including a blue violet that was gifted to me when I couldn't grow one during the Hybrid Flower Breeding event, a chocolate cake, and an apple! I quickly contacted the staff as soon as a user advised me to do that. It took days for someone to respond, and I grew so impatient and anxious I made a thread in the TBT Marketplace to get help. What I expected was ignorance. What I didn't expect was for a bunch of users to come and offer their collectibles to me! I was very shocked. Sometime later I got back most of my original collectibles (except the original blue violet and a rotating fool's egg) and returned the others to their original owners. Even though things went well in the end, I will never forget this memory because it was one of my first exposures to the kindness of TBT members.
  • June 30, 2024: My family and I went out to eat at a fast-food place, and while I was eating I was checking my phone and noticed that the winners for Celebrating Diversity 2024 had been revealed. I scrolled down and...OMG. I almost choked on my french fries! It turned out that I was one of them!! When I made my entry, I was self-conscious and nervous; I was worried I might offend the autistic people I wanted to represent (symbolized in a red-and-gold infinity-symbol flag) and that nobody would like my entry because of that. Seeing the photo I took of my amigurumi dolls up there in the spotlight for all to see made me realize that I had some skill in me after all. My Julian plush, gifted to me by site owner @/Jeremy (shortened to J), will always be a personal reminder that no matter how self-deprecating we can be over our creations, we should always remember that we are better at them than we believe we are.
  • And finally, I don't think I'd ever be the same without my TBT bestie and love @ZeldaCrossing64, who I befriended a few months ago. To represent our relationship, I drew Crisp hugging their Animal Crossing persona, Char's arm, and included a line from one of my new favorite songs, "Nothing Else Matters" by Metallica! Every memory involving them is of utter significance, including our art exchanges, Basement shenanigans, ACNH hangouts, meaningful PM and Discord chats, collectible gifting (by the way, TYSM again for the purple balloon and the inspiring message!! I appreciate your help during my accidental purge.), and the occasional Dave Mustaine/Mustard joke. They were also the one who introduced me to the wacky world of metal music, and I unexpectedly enjoyed some songs in that genre, including the aforementioned "Nothing Else Matters" as well as "Wherever I May Roam" (also by Metallica) and Megadeth's thrash hit "Holy Wars...The Punishment Due"! No, really. They are the sweetest, kindest, and most understanding TBTer I know, and I am so happy to have someone to talk to, whether it's to give them advice or vent or whatever. From tu cherie*: I love you, mahal**!!
Last but not least, you can find two lines from my favorite non-metal song "Celestial" by Ed Sheeran on the bottom left of this drawing! It doubles as just a few words of inspiration that I believe is fitting for the theme of this thread since we are focusing on memories in the forums.

I only became active recently, and already I've made myself a new online home in The Bell Tree. Thank you so much for helping to make this one of the few wonderful places on the Internet! And from the wise words of PaRappa Rappa, "you gotta believe!" ^w^

*French for "your darling/beloved". Taken from ma cherie (my darling/beloved), a term of endearment Zelda has used for me on occasion <3
**Tagalog (Filipino) term of endearment, translates to "love" in English

I discovered some MOCs (My Own Creations) for a Brickheadz Merry and Butch while surfing the web, So I used their instructions together to make a Brickheadz Kiki!

Besting Blunders
Okay, so this one is a short and cheesy love story inspired by my life on the spectrum and other recent personal experiences! The prompt clicked with me, so I hope you enjoy reading it as much as I enjoyed writing it! <3 BTW, The title is taken from a line in one of my favorite songs, "Nothing Else Matters" by Metallica!
It was November 7th, 2024, and the small and bustling Bell Tree Town was celebrating its 20th anniversary. Many of the residents were invited to the mayor’s mansion to commemorate the occasion.

The moment they stepped inside, two party-goers, Julie and Casey, were met with an assault to the senses. There were crowds of people in elaborate, formal, silly, and colorful outfits. Some were chatting with friends, others were off to the side playing a racing game on the living room TV, and a few shyly stuck to the buffet table, which smelled of sugary sweet desserts and other savory meals. The house was lively with talking, shouting, and laughter.

Julie almost froze, her pupils widening. Casey flinched as well but kept their cool and rested their hand on her shoulder.

“It’ll be fine, J,” they calmly assured her.

She had barely focused on what Casey said, for an unusual feeling was brewing inside: her face began to warm, and a tingling sensation ran all across her body. She tilted her head down and adjusted her long hair to hide her rosy cheeks.

“R-right,” muttered Julie, barely making eye contact with them. “We came here ‘cause this party’s only gonna happen once. I better make the most of it, but how can I when I can’t even get around to socializing with most people?”

“Just take it one step at a time, OK?” Casey responded. “Let me know if you need anything.”

I don’t know, Julie thought, still covering her face.

They patted her shoulder twice and let go of her. The two went their separate ways, with Julie heading straight for the food.

She took a plate and grabbed a few vanilla cupcakes and frosted cookies shaped like bell bags. Now she needed a quiet space to contemplate what happened earlier.

There was another smaller living room to her left. The lights were out, and it looked empty. After looking around to make sure no one was staring at her suspiciously, she carefully tip-toed to the room.

---

As she munched on her food, Julie let her thoughts take her away.

She mused on Casey. They had been kind to her for the past few months, which led her to open up to them. The two would spend their free time sharing art pieces and music, playing video games, and supporting each other in times of need. She found everything to be surprising since she had gone without a friend for years and was wary of most people anyway.

Because of this, she would always question their true motives: what if they were planning on manipulating her? What if their generosity was a facade, a ploy she unknowingly fell for? That would make sense; after all, people had been put off by her diminished social skills and overall awkwardness for a long time.

Or perhaps they just wanted to take their friendship to the next level…

Julie blushed and smiled to herself.

Even with her skepticism, she enjoyed Casey’s company and was certainly in love with them. She figured that the party experience for her would go in a whole new direction if she went and admitted that to them. But whether they would say those three words back or not was beyond her control. Besides, how was she going to approach this properly?

Julie remembered what her parents once told her: “Just be normal! If you can’t fit in, you’re not going to get anywhere in this world.” Even her family was put off by her characteristics sometimes, even though they loved their daughter.

This should be easy… All she needed to do was to find Casey, bring them outside, and talk to them about the personal stuff the normal way. Or through her interpretation of the normal way, at least.

With her plan set and her snack finished, she got up and tossed her now-empty plate into the nearby trash bin.

---

The party had yet to die off.

Combined with the rowdy crowds, there was now music everywhere. Julie could barely focus in an environment like this. And to make things worse, she recognized the current song as an annoying (to her, at least) pop track that would play regularly on the TBT3 radio station. Its only lyrics, which repeated itself a few more times, were:

Will you still love me, even when I’m weird?
Will you still love me, even when that’s clear?
What would be the point of all that we went through,
When you can’t take the time to see my point of view?


She couldn’t let that get in the way of her one goal: to track down Casey. After all, if everyone else can tune it out, she could do the same, right?

So she tried. She squeezed through the masses with her mind on Casey and their head bopper, but her focus shifted instinctively to a tight-knit group not too far from her arguing about something.

“…As a proud owner of the bird plush, I say it’s your best pick. It’s so popular, they call it the ‘Bluebird of Happiness’!”

“But you’re not always happy with things…”

“To hell with that! My point is, the bird is better.”

“How about you get the owl? Since it is rare, there’s a chance you might not be able to buy one that easily again.”

“Same goes for all the stuffed toys available.”

“Why don’t you consider the sheep, then? That’s valuable too!”

“But not as much as the dog.”

“Yeah! Coney’s Collectibles is selling the dog for way more than the sheep.”

Soon the group was yelling and throwing inappropriate words at each other.

Julie’s hands balled up into fists. She found this type of conduct unsuitable for a party that’s supposed to be fun and wholesome, but couldn’t bring herself to let them know about that.

The music kept on going.

Will you still love me, even when I’m weird?
Will you still love me, even when that’s clear?


She had been scanning and bumping into people for about five minutes, and Casey was nowhere to be found. Stuck in the middle of the crowd, she felt herself beginning to sweat and panicked.

Soon, the music grew louder and the talkative party-goers became just as deafening.

What would be the point of all that we went through,
When you can’t take the time to see my point of view?


The clamor was too much for Julie: her heart was pounding, her fists tightened, and her mind kept jumping from one auditory
observation to another. She had almost forgotten about them until…

Bump!

“Oh, J! What’re you doing here?”

There they were. Casey with their distinct voice, their short, brown hair, their vivid outfit straight out of a music festival.

Time froze, and so did Julie. It felt like the whole party was in slow motion.

Yet the cacophony worsened. The voices and the pulsating song had morphed into a total sounded mess. She had forgotten about why she wanted to see them.

Her eyes watered, and a single tear rolled down her face.

“You alright, J—?” Casey said.

She turned her back to them and ran swiftly.

Julie pushed through the crowded maze, crying out, “Sorry! Excuse me! Coming through!” She could barely hear a voice calling out her name, and her face was wet from shedding more tears. She wanted out of this party, this hellhole people somehow enjoyed without a care in the world.

Most importantly, she didn’t want her crush to be burdened by an embarrassment like her.

Before she knew it, she was face-to-face with the front door. She swung it open and slammed it shut before sitting on the front steps.

She frowned and let out a heavy sigh. Her tears continued to stream down, and they dropped to the ground like raindrops.

Julie knew without a doubt that this was her biggest social blunder yet.

---

The door clicked open.

Julie turned around and was surprised to see Casey peeking outside. They stepped out and closed the door, looking downbeat.

“What happened?” they murmured slowly as they took their seat next to Julie. She scooted away, unable to bring herself to face them.

“I just wanna help,” they whispered.

Casey slowly moved towards Julie and placed their hand on top of hers.

Julie felt the warm and tingly sensation again. She was glad it was about to be dark because she didn’t want them to see her crying and blushing intensely at the same time.

She remained silent. There was nothing but the wind blowing gently.

Finally, she began to speak.

“Casey… I’m so sorry…” she whimpered.

“For what? You did nothing wrong, J.”

“I did! You just couldn’t tell…! I went to you because…”

As she talked to them, her mind cleared up, and she remembered the reason why.

“It’s because I wanted to tell you something. But it was too noisy and I got overwhelmed and chickened out! See? I’m not normal!”

Casey turned to Julie. They let go of her hand and began rubbing her back.

“It happens to me too. Being overstimulated by noise, I mean. You’re not the only one.”

Julie blinked, her tears slowing.

“You’re fine, alright? People can get stressed in different ways, and this is just one of them. Whoever told you it’s not normal probably didn’t get it.

“You know yourself more than anyone else knows you, J. Even I have a long way to go,” they chuckled, scratching the back of their neck.

“How about we take a break together? I’m honestly drained from all this partying.”

Julie’s stream of tears had come to a halt. She wiped her face with her arm, her cheeks still in the pink.

“Thank you…” she smiled. “Thank you so much, Casey… Yeah, let’s do that right now!”

She hugged their arm affectionately.

Casey smiled at Julie as she began nuzzling their arm, causing them to blush too.

“Y’know, bud?” she continued. “You’re the only person I know who’s been so sweet to me, and I appreciate it a lot. I didn’t get it for so long because I wasn’t sure you were good enough for weird ol’ me…”

She felt their arm move, signaling her to let go. She did just that, and she immediately found herself being embraced.

“Aww… You’re not weird, you’re just being you. There’s nothing wrong with improving yourself little by little, but I wouldn’t like it if you became a completely different person just so you could be more accepted, especially when it makes you uncomfortable.

“Some people would do anything to fit in. Even when that means going too far… So keep doing what you enjoy, okay?”

Julie wrapped her arms around her best friend. She heard them take a deep breath as they caressed her back.

“I love you so much, Julie,” breathed Casey. “I mean it.”

This was it…it finally happened! A surge of ecstasy hit Julie; she could feel her heart slowly beating as she heard the first three words. Her mouth curved into a grin and she hugged tightly.

“Dear…?” she breathed. “This was what I was going to tell you earlier… I love you too!”

Casey’s arms tightened around Julie in response.

She looked up at the sky. It was a beautiful shade of orange, and nothing was covering it save for only a few thin clouds in sight. The ever-tired sun was a glowing yellow disk gradually making her way down the horizon and out of sight.

Behind her, the music blared. However, it was now a different song.

As the sun set and day transitioned to night, Julie was proud to have Casey, her best friend—and now her love—by her side.

She patted their back. “Let’s make the most out of this party before it ends, alright, dear?”

“Heck yeah! I’m ready when you are!”

Oh yeah, Crisp has a reference sheet now! I didn't get around to drawing it until this morning.
Crisp ref (1).png


And this is what me and @ZeldaCrossing64 drew for my friend @BTCircley's birthday on August 12. The characters in the drawing are all his, and the thing above them is a reference to one of his accomplishments on another online platform. I was the one who started that idea. It looks inconsistent in some parts, but that's what you get when you're doing an art collab, I guess. :P At least he liked it!!
BTCircleyBirthdayDrawingCollab.png


Last but not least, here's a Bluebird of Happiness holding a purple balloon. 🐦💜 It's a traditional drawing I scanned so I could use it in my signature!
birb.png


Okay, that's it for now!
 
Wooaaah, this is centered. @_@
Anyway, I had too much fun doodling on my sketchbook, so here are the little drawings I finished in there this month! :3

This one first appeared in the Sketchbook thread because at the time I didn't want to put a single drawing whenever I posted in my art thread (I'd rather do multiple.) I'm reposting here because I have more than one now!​
Here is Crisp talking to Kieran (as a cat) while they're walking to a sign somewhere in Kitakami. The cat next to Crisp is her partner Sprigatito, Kwazii (named after an Octonauts character...don't ask ><) When I created Crisp I wanted to write a Pokemon Scarlet/Violet fanfiction where she is a pet cat who wakes up in the game's universe and must navigate the story with Kwazii. I unfortunately scrapped plans for it after a few weeks, but Crisp lives on as my main OC/persona/fursona/whatever you call it.

Oh yeah, I wanted a good excuse to draw a Sprigatito for the first time. I think I did a pretty decent job on it.​
IMG_1296.jpeg


And here's a drawing of Ogerpon! It's my favorite Pokemon for many reasons, so I wanted to see how it looked in my art style. I want to do more Pokemon now, but I have a long way to go. XD
IMG_1315.jpeg

IMG_1313.jpeg

This one was from today and I had fun with it! Char (by ZeldaCrossing64) and Crisp are cosplaying as Nintendo characters referencing our favorite Nintendo franchises outside of Animal Crossing. I find Crisp's dialogue to be very fitting because of her relationship with Char. <3 And I apologize for butchering the shield that appears in the Zelda games. ^^;
IMG_1317.jpeg


And I'm gonna end this post off with Crisp and her most cherished possession because why not? 💙
IMG_1314.jpeg


Okay, see you whenever!​
 
While I've enjoyed drawing on my sketchbook lately, I also wished to give the digital medium another chance so I looked for a drawing application to replace Scratch's clunky sprite/backdrop editor, which is where I made some of the art in this thread for a while. Yesterday I discovered MyPaint, and it just clicked with me. It was very easy to adapt to, and I wasn't bombarded with a jillion options upon launching it like with other more popular programs I tried like FireAlpaca, Krita, and Medibang Paint Pro. I also like how there's a background you can enable/disable that is endless and looks like drawing paper. *w*

Here's something I made on there! It's Crisp with a Foongus from Pokémon, and I'm using part of it as my icon for the upcoming Mushroom Season event. The textured ink brush is my new favorite brush in MyPaint and I look forward to using it in future drawings!
scrap003_a.png
 
Here are some drawings and whatnot I wanted to post here, but forgot until now.

First up is this glow shroom thing. I drew this a few days ago in preparation for Mushroom Season. I had fun coloring it because I got to experiment with blending colors in MyPaint. :^) Let's hope Crisp doesn't get any poisoning from eating that mushroom... ;w;

Also did this cute drawing of my OC on my sketchbook. She's supposed to be wearing my rep's outfit from the 2024 TBT Fair, but I only got up to the hat. XP This is not the first drawing of Crisp being like this though. I have this other sketch of her wearing the complete outfit that I have yet to share here.

The text is supposed to say The Sugary Suguri!! BTW. I scanned it with my printer because I plan on using it as my icon in the future.
Snapped a photo of this.

This is similar to my earlier drawing of the bluebird with the purple balloon, except it's Dot (mom's plushie from ACNH) with a heart balloon. I had the idea to draw this for @/ZeldaCrossing64 when I included the bird drawing in my signature for a bit. ❤️🎈

And lastly, some candies in remembrance of the infamous Friday the 13th event. My totally lucky Pale Wix Candy roll was still fresh in my mind when I drew this. Blending colors with colored pencils is much easier with tiny doodles than with bigger drawings. Makes me wonder how people could pull it off...magic!? o_o

I'm going to finish this off by saying that I'm going to be in my high school's drawing and painting class soon. I switched out an elective I disliked in favor of this one. Even though I wanted the crafts class (which was unavailable) more, I'm pretty excited because it could help me improve my drawing skills by a bunch. I just hope I don't get a little too stressed by it because I can be a bit of a perfectionist. ^^; So basically that means you should expect to see stuff for my new class starting this Friday!​
 
ACK I forgot this one in my last post. I'm so sorry. T^T
Here's what I drew for @Mokuren in "Draw the User Above You" a few weeks ago! The fact that her OC is a girl with bunny ears made it easier for me to work on since I'm not really good at unique-looking humans. (Anyone seen my old character, Bob? :P)

Oh yeah, I figured I'd share this glow shroom Foongus while I'm at it. Blending colors is fun. :3

As for my art class drawings, I might make a separate thread for them when I'm ready. Stay tuned!​
 
I wanted to post here again for a while, but stuff happened. I'm still not feeling well but am doing what I can. For now, here's everything I whipped up this past month.

On the cusp of October, I decided to try an art challenge. This wasn't the first time I've done something like this, as I did Inktober last year (and didn't finish it.) Unfortunately, I only got up to three drawings before getting burnt out for days. I didn't realize how hard self-discipline was for me, and school kept me busy as well, which didn't help matters. Hopefully, I can try again, maybe when I have more spare time.

(See my thread for the list of prompts and an explanation of the thinking behind these drawings!)

These next two drawings are of OCs by Bug (@xSuperMario64x)! I drew Artemis for him in "Draw the User Above You" around late September, and my intent was to play around with blending colors with my colored pencils. I like how she came out, and I haven't drawn any Mario characters or any OCs based on Mario characters before, which is saying something!

Some time later Bug took up my request in that same thread, and he wanted someone to draw Solmew and Lumew together. He's got these silly nicknames for them, and one, in particular, re-lit my spark for drawing after I took a brief break from it due to the art challenge. I didn't claim them in the thread because I already drew Artemis, but I couldn't resist giving the "loaf boys" a chance anyway. I love the direction I took with them, lol. Turning them into furry loaves (or whatever they're called) was a pretty clever move. ❤️💙

And here's Crisp again! I did a bunch of doodles of her wearing an Ogerpon costume (Ogerpon is my favorite Pokémon), and these are the only two that I managed to finish. The first one is of her with the Wellspring Mask (it was the easiest mask for me to draw) and the second one is just her without a mask. The latter is a reference to "It's the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown", my favorite Halloween special, and also reflects how I've been feeling lately.

On the topic of Pokémon, here's a random Dipplin. I just felt like drawing it when I got bored. XD

And here's the last one for now...Tangy's head! This was supposed to be practice for something bigger (I'll explain in another post). I bought a pack of gel pens a few days ago and I wanted to try out a few things with them, which is why the outlining on her looks different.

That's all for today, and see you soooon! 👻 The next post will feature my Haunted Carnival entries - I guarantee that!​
