November 10th Happy (non-canon) Birthday, Clem

Here are some sketch versions of my drawings. Most of them are sketches that I used the pixel brush on since I sketch them out in a different program before putting them in IbisPaint.

(May 14-15, 2025)

It's a birthday gift for my best friend. I couldn't decide which version I liked better, so I gave her both. It is a drawing of her OC.

(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.

Comic about Crystal for @32bitterra

(Gorillaz Grab Bag, 04-04-25) BACK ONCE AGAIN FOR THE RENEGADE MASTER. We meet again, Gorillaz fans. My sister went on a trip. As is tradition, I will send her pictures of characters until she returns. This year she requested Gorillaz, so I now have an abundance of pictures of them in my gallery… Time to draw.

A NAME YOU ALL KNOW, IT STARTS WITH A 2!!!

Did you know that there are a lot of drum n' bass remixes of Feel Good Inc? I wish there were a 2-step garage remix like this one part of this song (only have the vocals at normal pitch because 2D sounds drunk lol.) Anyway, I heart Russel. He's a fuckin' boss. I'd like to draw him again.

I have decided that Noodle is my favorite. I'm not ultra into Gorillaz, but I have always really liked DARE. I was once listening to it on loop years ago. Shit, I could be listening to it on loop right now.

This music video is cool but I want Murdoc to stop looking at me like that.

do you guys remember this masterpiece because it’s one of my favorite things.

(November 1 - November 27, 2024)

Things from the eleventh month. I hope you'll enjoy them.

Oh, Elka. What's got you so upset?

I wasn't sure about posting these, but my friends seemed to like them so here we go.

Clem and Crystal but if they were drawn by my 16 y/o self.

We are lonely, we are all we've got.

Everyone has a character that they treat like a Barbie doll. So cute, right? Almost makes you forget she canonically wants to kill herself.

She has to burn that ribbon now.

Hello, Kitty

(December 21 - December 24, 2023)

I finally drew some Crystal and Mikhail things. I've been wanting to for MONTHS. No shipping, just friends. Starting with the return of the teddy bear.

Which then sparked a bunch of little doodle "comics."

Meanwhile ...

Later ...

:(

Turn that frown upside down

These were just for fun. I hope you enjoyed.

Do you have any hcs for older Crystal ( and Clem? ) ik you only have a design for Crystal but I’m curious to hear your hcs abt what they get up to when they’re older

I'm glad you asked! Let's see…

(Disclaimer: These are rough ideas and subject to change. I love these characters so I tend to go on and on and on and on. I will put it under a cut so people are not bombarded by great walls of text lol.)

I toy with the idea of Crystal and Clem being camp counselors at Whispering Rock once they get all their problems sorted out. I'm entertained by the idea of Clem taking over Basic Braining (PUNCH PUNCHY PUNCH YAAAY RAZ!!) The adult Clem I have in my mind looks like a sports coach, and I think his version of Basic Braining would take place in a stadium with various sporting events. Basic Braining but instead of Coach Oleander yelling at you to move your ass, it's Clem being overwhelmingly supportive, "YEAH YOU CAN DO IT! NEVER GIVE UP!"

Now it's time for my girl, Crystal. She sometimes pops in Clem's Basic Braining, but she has her own levitation class (maybe overdone? lol) like Milla's Dance Party. Except instead of 70s disco, it's 80s electro-synth-whatever-the-proper-name-is pop. As for specifics on how it would look or be like, I am still thinking about it. I based my older Crystal's outfit on 80s fitness instructors. She's still very bubbly and optimistic, even more so since now dark emotions don't cloud her mind and weigh her heart. I just want the best for them (her and Clem), so I want them to get better.

I'm still thinking about HOW they get to the recovery point. I cannot explain currently due to my ideas being too vague. I don't want it to sound like the therapy fairy waves her wand and fixes 'em better because it takes effort and a willingness to WANT to get better (for Clem especially because he's so jaded and devoid of hope.) I have faith in Clem for him to change and realize he hasn't always had Crystal's best interests in mind. He does care about her, but he's so entangled in his own negativity. It causes a rough strain on their friendship, but they do reconcile as young adults.

They are not dating as adults, but I do entertain the idea of them trying dating for a very short (and I mean SHORT, like less than a week) time. It's weird and awkward for them, so they prefer just being best friends. They get a ton of people always asking "ARE YOU TWO DATING??" No, they're just besties. I don't really do shipping so I don't ship them with anyone, even as hypothetical adults. I don't know about friends they'd have aside from each other (because I have only thought about hypothetical older versions for a small handful of campers.) Clem basically cuts all contact from his parents (good for him) and Crystal does her best to distance herself from her mother.

For making it all the way to the end, you can have this:

They're like 18-22 or something.

January 2022 Doodle Highlights

(Uploading EVERYTHING would take too long, so I'll post highlights from each month until we reach present day.)

Hi, I'm new pls be gentle. I'll try and space these out so it's not spammy. This is a long post, so all the fun stuff will be under the cut.
