I Was Put On This Earth To Draw The Forgotten And Obscure Characters. I Still Have More That I Want To

It's still October 7 here, so happy birthday Chevron! She's another one of my OCs. Looks like her auntie got her something nice for her birthday.

She's 10-11 years old, but in real time she's turning seven! I made her back in 2017. She was originally an OK K.O. OC, but last year I decided to dust her off and turn her into a "regular" OC. The illustration on the left is from March 2023, and the one on the right is the first drawing of her from October 2017.

Ask about her if you want. She's quite unusual and she would be glad to meet you.

Kirby & The Amazing Mirror turns 20 today. I drew a little something to commemorate it.

Sentimental old person rambling under the cut.

Amazing Mirror is my favorite video game, and it is one of my earliest video game memories. I played it before my sister was born, and before I could even READ. I distinctly remember calling it "Rock Hat Game" (referring to the stone ability) before my mother corrected me. For those unaware, the unique thing about this Kirby game is that the game lets you explore the Mirror World and beat the bosses in whichever order you want. This game was full of mystery to me as a child. This was before I had internet so I couldn't just look anything up. I was always wondering what I would find next. I spent HOURS trying to find rooms I hadn't been in yet, believing they held the most incredible secrets (a child's imagination is very powerful.) I believe I got my first glimpses of the final boss when I was around five or six years old. I remember Dark Meta Knight frightened me because of how fast he moved, but I loved the music that played when you fought him, so I'd leave the game paused just to hear it (too frightened to unpause it or else Dark Meta Knight would whoop my ass lol. Does anyone else remember holding the GBA speaker up to your ear to hear the music? I remember listening to the Candy Constellation theme like this.) Something this game is infamous for are the NUMEROUS times you have to beat the final boss, Dark Mind. I managed to get to his second-to-last phase, the giant eye, when I was six or seven or so. If I had to beat his first form four times, I wondered just how far it would go. I distinctly remember having a dream that some sort of mouse boss emerged from the eye (funnily enough, I got Squeak Squad for Christmas when I was nine.) I beat Amazing Mirror when I was eight years old. It was a Friday afternoon, and I was so excited to finally beat the game that my legs went numb lol. Fast forward a little to when I was twelve or so, I started trying to get 100% completion. This involves entering every room and getting every treasure. I know this game like the back of my hand now. When I was thirteen, I wanted to see how quickly I could beat it after watching speedruns. I can beat it 100% pretty quickly now. It's a game I like to play for my friends because I can beat it quickly and without dying.

The drawing above hardly begins to fully encapsulate how much I love the game, and I struggled trying to think of a drawing that could truly show my appreciation. In the end, I went for something rather simple. Emerald is my favorite spray paint color, but if you asked younger-me, I would have answered "Ocean." I was totally obsessed with finding all the spray paint colors, and I remember turning the game off and on to switch the colors to see how they'd look with the UFO ability. If anyone has read this far, tell me what your favorite spray paint color in Amazing Mirror is in the tags if you'd like! Also, the level backgrounds are absolutely beautiful in this game. They look like paintings, and I wonder if any high quality, non-GBA-compressed versions exist. The light blue Peppermint Palace background is my favorite (it's also my header.) Let me know what your favorite level and/or level background is as well. I'm gonna wrap this up because I've went on for too long blurting my guts out over a GBA game. I still feel like I've barely scratched the surface about all I love about this game. I will not be making this kind of long-winded rambling a habit though lol.

It's January 25, so that means it's been 22 years since Tomato Adventure was released.

Happy birthday to DeMille 💙

Saw a post about how we need more Quentin Hedgemouse appreciation and so I did a little drawing of him🤘🤘🤘

May 2022 Doodle Highlights

More doodles under the cut. Huh, seems like I didn't draw a lot that month.

Whats up?

Nothin' much, just listening to music, thinking about the Whispering Rock campers (they cycle through my mind like Mario Kart items), and trying to think about what I'm gonna draw tomorrow. How about you?

(September 3 - September 22 2023)

I never really know what to say in these things, but I hope the drawings will speak for me. More under the cut (there's a LOTTTTT this time.)

Revisited an idea as previously seen in Feb. 2023 Highlights.

Rejected Sasha sketch.

I realized I had only drawn Milka four times so I decided to rectify that. (But who's to say she isn't in all of my drawings but invisible.)

Quentin makes me happy.

(Will anyone get the reference? I wonder)

(The joke is they are both named Mikhail. hahahaaaaaaaaAa)

(patrick voice) EVERYONE DIED.

I figured out how to make gradients the real way in my art thing. It's over for you all.

Aye aye aye, your eyes hypnotize 🎵

(here I was thinking I was clever for drawing Kitty with hypno-eye swirlies, but upon closer inspection on her model, she had them all along.)

Note: Crystal doesn't have an official birthday. I just chose from a random Virgo date. It happened to be Sept. 22. Yaaaaaaaaay.

I dread to imagine what's inside that box.

concept that was spawned in a discord server that I figured you'd like: Psychonauts racing game. Bobby is one of the fastest characters. He is driving a forklift

HAHAHA oh yes, I found it very humorous.

I'm pretty sure this counts for numerous OSHA violations. Bad, bad Bobby, what have you done to the engine to make it go so fast?

March 2022 Doodle Highlights

Hooray, here we go. This was when I got really into Professor Layton. Lots of drawings placed under the cut for convenience.

I love my son Elton. It's crooked and lil creep, but it's made with love hahahaha lol🥺🥺💙💙💙. For the first time I tried self-sealing clay purely for myself, as well as this Elton with a fish is based on one of the terra sketches from this post.
