Getting a late start to brush week 2025 by fourleafisland! Couldn’t post anything yesterday cause I’ve been sick and stuck in bed😭Fortunately I did do the cosmic brush ahead of time as practice, so I’m posting two today. I also included her original design for reference.

For this challenge, I decided to draw my oc Penelope, a fan character for the game Ni No Kuni: Wrath of the White Witch! She sells dream-themed potions and wants to make it big. Since she’s a salesperson and scientist, I figure each new design will show off how she’d dress if her special interest in potions was the given brush’s theme instead of dreams. (And since her other special interest is capitalism, she’s always dressing to attract the most customers.)

The cosmic brush was a challenge because she’s already star themed, but I just made her design more sci-fi than fantasy. For the plushie brush, I leaned more into the bathrobe aspect of her original jacket and made her some kind of cozy plushie potioneer. Not every day will include her star motif, but I figured it fit well with these brushes.

[VD: an animatic of tamara and nicky from ni no kuni: dominion of the dark djinn, set to the “wouldn’t you like to know weather boy” meme audio. the dialogue is as follows:

tamara: here’s an actual customer out here! uh, what’s, uh- what’s the best kind of firework to buy? nicky: wouldn’t you like to know, weather boy? [pause] tamara: where are your parents?

[ID: a drawing of nicky and oliver from ni no kuni: dominion of the dark djinn. nicky is a pale-skinned boy with brown hair and glasses; he is wearing a red and white houndstooth patterned sweater, and a necklace with a pendant in the shape of a crescent moon. oliver is a pale-skinned boy with messy auburn hair; he is wearing a pink shirt with a yellow sun patch on the sleeve.
