Uhm Happy Psychonauts Day I Don’t Have Anything Of Substance But Take These Doodles And WIPs As Proof

(January 22 - January 31, 2024)

Last of January.

You know, I realized just HOW MUCH I draw. One month into 2024 and I've already made 37 drawings.

Anyway, here's Quentin and Phoebe hugging for hugging day, which was January 21. Most of these drawings revolve around them and other campers. If you're down with that, look under the cut for more.

Look, on Quentin's campster bio he says he hugs a lot. THEREFORE, I can draw him hugging his bestie as much as I want.

[quentin singing] your love takes me higher and HIGHERRR

baby, you're spinning me around ... what am I gonna do?

I wanted to draw Kitty grinning like a cheshire cat. I did but I also got very distracted.

boogie on down

I was feeling super hyper when drawing this. (You really think I'd let you go through this without Misha drawings?)

I dunno if I've ever stated it, but I think J.T. is peak character design. He looks pleasant. He IS pleasant. He's a PSYCHIC COWBOY. He doesn't shoot a gun, he shoots BULLETS with his MIND. It doesn't get better than that.

Dart looks down on the other campers for not taking psychic training seriously ... except for Dogen, of course. Dogen is exempt from his contempt. That's how I like to imagine it anyway.

November 2022 Doodles

There weren't enough for highlights. Most of what I drew in Nov 2022 was finished artwork

I am feeling unusually sociable, so if you wanna hit me up/send an ask, now is a good time to do so.

or at least say hi to Quentin.

I was put on this earth to draw the forgotten and obscure characters. I still have more that I want to draw, but here is what I have done so far.

Mar. 12, 2024 - Batasha (Aero the Acro-Bat 2)

Aero and his Japanese box art counterpart, Acrobat Kid -

Mar. 25, 2024 - Kid Klown and Princess Honey (Kid Klown in Crazy Chase)

Willy (Rockin' Kats / N.Y. Nyankies)

Apr. 9, 2024 - Tempo (Tempo)

(December 25 - December 31, 2023)

LAST OF 2023. Thank you to everyone who has left nice words and comments on my drawings all throughout the year (in my short time being here anyway.) Alright, let's look at some silly drawings. See more under the cut.

The rough sketch was a lot cuter, but drawing "killllll meeeee" expressions is way more fun.

Just a girl and her beloved rat.

No one seems to notice I took away Quentin's scarf in this drawing, but HE certainly noticed ... I felt bad so I gave it back

Y'know, I have a hard time remembering the name of the personal demon enemies, so I call them "angry babies." That's what they sound like to me.

Maybe don't kiss that brain.

My last drawing for 2023 is Quentin 'cos I just like him so much.

I don't have much else to say. Happy New Year.

I hope to draw more pictures in 2024.

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.

(July 5 and July 10 2023)

I was taking a drawing break. Here's some low effort nonsense.

HUG HER, RAZ. I was going to draw part 2 where he hugs her back but then didn't. oh well

Maloof was supposed to be standing beside him clinging to him, but he kept looking wrong. I liked how Misha turned out, so I didn't scrap the whole thing. Hey I know he doesn't like being called "Mickey" but is calling him "Mick" pushing it or would he still be mad? Cos I used to mentally refer to him as Mick before Misha finally stuck.

When I drew possessed-by-Dark-Matter Crystal I wondered how Clem would react. I think this is accurate.

Tala finds a new friend. Dart was drawn 100% from memory and he looks unexpectedly decent. Might be kinda weird to meet the prototype version of your brother (but they don't know that.)

(February 3 - February 28, 2025)

Party people bouncing off the walls.

Special thanks to @ooliecat, @cosmicheartz, and @salempie

One time when my sister was showing me a bunch of Gorillaz music videos, I had a revelation (no disrespect to people who love their blue-haired british men.)

Hey, look. I got an UGLY FACE. Can I join your UGLY CLUB?

Really, I think Clem would detest this holiday. Maybe it wouldn't be so bad if he had Crystal to spend it with.

Lift me up

Special thanks to ooliecat and salempie (who both suggested Alice in Wonderland Elka) and @turquoisegemma

It's all fun and games until the bird craps on your hand.

People who celebrate fictional character's birthdays are annoying blah blah blah fuck that and HAPPY BIRTHDAY QUENTINNN. He's turning ten (again) and I am very proud of him.

What's wrong, Phoebe?

(August 25 - August 31 2023)

Last of August

Donatella apologizes to Raz (and more things under the cut.)

Next scene: Raz ignites Dion with pyrokinesis

"It is not just a little spark. It is a flame; a big roaring flame. I can feel it now ... it is burning, Burning, BURNING. ...Hey, something IS burning around here."

Hearing Dion say the corniest shit imaginable.

Oh hey, and I drew Dion "apologizing" too:

Misha saying thank you. (Misha smiled.)

I know I'm not the first to draw anthro versions of Kitty and Quentin, but here's my take on em.

I wasn't expecting the line when Raz shows her the button to hit me so hard. She's hanging out with some weeds (primarily ones that people only want to get rid of.)

I don't wanna end on a sad note, so I'll let you have the early sketch of the Frazie BLECH drawing (I thought Raz looked funny so I held onto it.)

See you next time
