Tablet Update!! I Bought A New One And It Rocks. Haven't Used It Too Much But Really Enjoying It So Far!

Sketch of Aladdin. Usually I'm biased toward drawing the original cast when I draw, but this time I doodled the current Aladdin actor in the Broadway show, Michael Maliakel. I really like his portrayal of the character, I think he's my favorite Aladdin so far.

Morning warmup. It’s -20 out and the birds are extra round

First, I'm sorry to hear about your tablet. I can only hope it goes well with finding a new one later down the line.

Second, for a potential Aladdin broadway idea, how about drawing Aladdin and his friends as children? Or maybe Aladdin as a boy and with your interpretation of his mom? What do you think?

Thank you! i've been doing some research for which one to get as a replacement. my old one i had probably close to 10 years now and was one of the more basic ones (it's a wacom bamboo) so I'm going to be getting a more professional grade one! end of an era i suppose.

i love the idea of BOAK as kids (may do that another time), but I chose to depict little Al and his mom. I imagine she was strikingly beautiful, and had curly hair like Aladdin does. I referenced some of the marketplace outfits worn by the ladies in the show for her dress. with her being a mom, i made her outfit a little more modest, so her stomach would be fully covered.

(i rarely draw ladies so this was fun!)

i love the meme fish so here's an illustration i did of it. the best part about being an artist is getting to draw whatever the fuck i want, especially when it's dumb

gentle creature whom i love so dearly

Babkak cosplay from this past Halloween. Since people here seem to enjoy my Aladdin art, I decided to share the costume I created.

Fully handmade by me over the course of about two months. I slaved over this thing and I am overjoyed with how it came out!

I didn't get a good full costume pic outside during the day so I had to take one in my room. Forgive my dirty mirror.

Bonus bit of lore: this cosplay was approved by king Brian Gonzales himself.

rouge!! i love her so much

Tell me any BOAK related hcs that you have on the mind. Like any at all. I’ve been trying to think of a hc but I’ve honestly forgotten half of my hcs for this show djdndndndndnd

woo ok so here are a few just off the top of the dome:

Kassim made all the necklaces for the group. Based on the fact that Brandon O'Neill made all of them for the original show.

Babkak and Omar are really close. Babkak's a good companion for when Omar gets overly anxious or overwhelmed. He's super laid back so he balances out Omar's anxiety.

Omar is in charge of cutting everyone's hair when they get too shaggy.

Kassim calls Babkak "Babs" when he's really drunk, which Babkak finds amusing.

Babkak gives really good hugs (soft).

They're all queer. I see Babkak as aroace, Omar as gay, Kassim as bi, and Al as bi with mostly a preference for women. (sometimes it can fluctuate based on the actors in Aladdin's case). I see Agrabah as a (mostly) accepting fantasy world, so you can be out and not have to worry, save for maybe the guards.

Kassim actually really likes stealing. He likes the thrill. He's also the one who comes up with most of their schemes.

Babkak is in charge of mending their clothes and patching them up if the others get hurt.

Aladdin is surprisingly solitary. He loves his friends, but he spends a lot of time alone. His favorite spots to just chill by himself are on top of buildings.

Omar's estranged father is a member of the guards. He avoids the guards at ALL COSTS because of this.

Babkak spends half of the time zoning out/thinking about other things and just chilling, which is why he is always snapping out of it and yelling food names out. Relaxed king.

Kassim is the leader of their quartet, but others tease him saying "no Aladdin's the leader" just to make him angry.

Babkak and Kassim founded their group, adding Aladdin later and Omar last. They all met when they were kids.

Even though Kassim and Babkak make little pointed remarks at each other in the show, it's not because they dislike each other. It's actually because they're really close friends and that's how they communicate. I feel like they have a lot of inside jokes.

I have loads more, these are just the ones I could type up now! I can type up more if you wanted more specific stuff :))

OBC Babkak doodle. Absolute legend, miss this dude

fossil fighters!! just some random vivosaurs i drew for a comic, but they're all isolated here. they're all purple cuz I was doing a limited palette comic so that's why they're not the game accurate colors.

carchar was my boy, i always have him on my team. but when i was a kid that one fight in the digadigamid was ruthless so i didn't like him til i was older. harbored resentment for years. but i really love his design so i use him all the time now. and i really liked angato because i thought he looked awesome with the purples and spots.

such a good series. at least the first two, i don't even count frontiers.

maybe you'll see some more vivosaur art from me because drawing dinos is a lot of fun and these games hold a very special place in my heart <3

Been working on some stuff lately, so here's an Iago to hold you over until I can post the whole thing :))
