Animated fan-art of @cubewatermelon‘s webcomic Kiwi Blitz!

This is Kiwi, Blitz’s mecha. It’s rather obviously themed after the real-life bird of the same name. Real kiwis are native to New Zealand and are small flightless birds with wings so tiny, they might as well not even be there! To my understanding, kiwis is also what people call New Zealanders, but I don’t know for sure since I don’t personally know any New Zealanders.

Lovely Lemon! Ah, another refreshing beverage, this time lemon flavored. The featured character is Outrageous Lemon from @cubewatermelon‘s webcomic Sleepless Domain. I’ve been drawing all of the members of Team Outrageous in the form of sponsored beverages themed after their team names (which are all fruit), and this is the last one! This has been challenging and fun, definitely a learning experience and a fun project I challenged myself with. It might be fanart and very true to the source material, but it felt like I still had a lot of creative input which was a lot of fun.

Unlike with the last one -Outrageous Lime- I didn’t do the entire label for the bottle for this illustration, just the front part that you see here. Making Outrageous Lime was fun, but I certainly don’t want to make the nutrition label and all of that stuff again. That part was a little tedious, and it’s not really necessary for this one, since you can appreciate the design without having to rotate the bottle.

More mahou soft drinks! This time it’s Outrageous Lime from Team Outrageous of the webcomic Sleepless Domain by @cubewatermelon. Yup, I’m trying to do the whole team. What might the last team member’s drink be? Will it even BE a drink? Who knows?! Hopefully it won’t be long before I can provide those answers.

Faces are hard. Proportions are hard. DRAWING is hard.

A fairly random face sketch made with digital pencils and some smearing thereof. As I made it, I found I was kinda happy with it, so I colored it in the way you see now.

This is such a goofy looking character. I’ve not seen her name officially announced, but I understand it’s Outrageous Apple, from Team Outrageous of the webcomic Sleepless Domain by @cubewatermelon.

An apple a day keeps the doctor away. But it’s easier to just buy doctor repellent D:

Not gonna make something like this again anytime soon. I made it in Clip Studio Paint, which currently doesn’t have any support for OH I DUNNO copy-pasting frames, tweens, or plugins (non-Japanese version). The lack of those very essential features makes this sort of animation very tedious, and the program unfit for all but “traditional” style of animation.

... I still love this program though...

I watched this video and decided that I oughta take a character from a GCI movie and try to exaggerate the expression. So why not Lord Farquaad? He’s a funny character with very defined features that ought to be fun to blow out of proportion. And so I sketched it out, and as it turns out I was pretty happy with how it turned out, so I decided to ink it and color it. This is still a process that takes me longer than I’d like it to, but I am getting better with every illustration.

In the end, I think I could have probably exaggerated the expression even further, but that would have been pretty far out of my comfort zone when I’m already trying something new. Also, that crown, what a pain to make it :P

Can Kirby eat anything and everything? Is there any way to stop him?

Link from BoTW with full Phantom Ganon armor set and a Royal Guard’s Claymore. I just posed him on my Switch and... got to work!

I had fun making the background pattern for this. Because Ganondorf was originally Gerudo I used the Gerudo symbol that appears throughout TLoZ, and the sun-face that appears in OoT in the Spirit Temple (the Gerudo dungeon). The latter isn’t a very prominent image in Zelda, but it stuck with me for being kinda creepy.
