yeah-yeah !!
So I've been less active on TBT lately because of life and I was planning on posting these drawings next week...but I made a new OC that I absolutely adore and want to share ASAP! I'll have to save them for last though, because of course I drew some other things before they came along. (I'd also like to mention that I signed up for the Secret Santa event a while ago and today I got a match!! Can't say who, though...)
First off are my Haunted Carnival entries, specifically for Creature Feature and Pierrot's Parlor! as promised. My prompt for Creature Feature was Furry Iguana, and I was initially intimidated because I hadn't drawn an iguana before. >_< But then I had a clever idea of doing a plush toy iguana based on the dreamy toys from ACNH, and this was the result! I even gave it a binomial nomenclature (Latin name) for fun; it basically means "soft iguana".

The furry iguana (Iguana mollis) is among many sentient plush toy animals living on the shelves of souvenir shops in zoos. It remains still around humans and is capable of movement when none are nearby. Furry iguanas are closely related to their reptilian counterpart, having many traits in common including a keen eyesight and herbivorous diet. (Although it is unknown how they can eat food without a mouth...)
And this one here is for Pierrot's Parlor. For my tattoo design, I took Bob's head and made him look all trippy and stuff. @_@ I made the most out of my gel pens with this one. It actually looks pretty nice IMO, but I'm sure anyone else might find it super weird. XP
Inspiration: I remember one time I was looking at a vacation home someone made for Bob in the HHP Showcase, and it, uh, gave off cannabis vibes. How that managed to get into a family-friendly game is beyond me.
Moving on from that... I did a "Draw the User Above You" thing for @xSuperMario64x for the second time a few weeks ago. Bug's prompt was to show his fursona Sterling with his three favorite collectibles (Bluebird of Happiness Plush, Heart Glow Wand, Love Potion). As you can see, I had too much fun with the drawing. :P
So what's happening here is that Sterling's pet bluebird Jay stole his precious heart glow wand (oh no!!! D:) and Sterling's chasing him to his nest to get it back.
You might be wondering why I didn't draw Sterling like I usually do with Crisp and my OCs. I was practicing with a different art style (one without the stick limbs) and I had to try it on him. I even used a reference to draw his head and it came out surprisingly nice! It's a bit too big, but I still like it either way. (and yes, I made him hold a stuffed toy of @/Shellzilla_515's OC Pag-asa. On purpose. If you've ever read some of their posts before, you'll understand why.)
Part of the drawing was also inspired by one of Bug's lineups, nest and all! He gave it a very colorful explanation and I couldn't resist referencing it.
I think this drawing would make a good signature (for Bug obviously), but I'd have to draw it digitally so it looks more HQ. Later.....

This is the last one I'll show before my new OC! It's a sketch I made to practice drawing the aforementioned collectibles before beginning my drawing for Bug. The quote on the bottom is from the message @ZeldaCrossing64 put on my Bluebird collectible (miss you, love) and I thought it was just perfect and very fitting. For a mere sketch. I'm pretty proud of it!
Okay...the moment of truth!!
Cosmew!!
I dig space aesthetics and blue/purple/pink color gradients, so that's why I had to create them! They look so gorgeous, not even the photo I took for this post can do them justice. ;w; I also took some inspiration from the Pokémon, Cosmog (which I drew a few days ago but haven't shared until now) while designing Cosmew!
This drawing only shows part of their body and a single starry-eyed facial expression. I'll have to work on more drawings of them later to get a better understanding of what they look like. I'm also planning on doing a digital drawing of them but I haven't fully mastered MyPaint yet and I doubt I can make them look pretty in that medium because of that. Not to mention the learning curve... So if there are any other MyPaint users here with tips...any kind...I'd appreciate it.
