Full colored version of a sketch I had previously posted a long while ago. I personally loved how the original sketch looked back then, and I still adore it even now. I decided it deserved a color variant to help up my skills. I guess this too is also my first colored artwork upload of the year as well!

Sorry I haven't been posting much as of late! I've had an unfortunate bit of art block alongside feeling burned out mentally. Hopefully all of that has passed and I can slowly get back into the groove of things.

Tomodachi Life LTD has also been eating up a lot of my time but it's nice to have a game to just turn off my mind for a while, relax and let the days worries be left behind. I've been meaning to post screenshots of the shenanigans my Islanders have been getting up to since I got the game. Except I've been having too much fun that now I have...a huge backlog lol.

I made the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse in my Tomodachi game.

Some images from my recent run of Tomodachi.

In a very long and COMPLEX love triangle? square? uh? that is still ongoing with the Yellow-Green Team members (and one of my OCs), Blazer and Bamboo ended up falling in love and getting married! Bamboo was crushing over Blazer for the longest time, confessed to her and got rejected. Bamboo had hope Blazer would change her mind and over time Blazer started falling for her friend. Eventually it became mutual and the two have been happy ever since!

Bamboo showing up in a tuxedo to her own wedding though. I want to try redrawing this scene at some point as it's too cute of an idea to pass up <3

Rider kept cycling through a list of crushes which involved one of my Splat OCs (Mandible), then started crushing on Bamboo, which lead to him thinking he had crushes on three of my other ocs (Wave, Synth and Violet which I shot down IMMEDIATELY) until he finally returned the feelings to Stealth. Stealth and Rider are dating at the moment and Rider had a dream where Stealth knitted them a pair of sweaters.

Mandible is still crushing on Rider but now Metry has a crush on her haha. So I guess this love saga still continues!

When Rider was crushing on Bamboo he showed up randomly to serenade her with a song but she ignored him and booked it out of there lmao. I do like the outfit he wore though!

Here are two of my favorite cursed items I've made so far, one of which I regret because I lose my shit every time it gets mentioned in conversation

Tavian and Avia are now married and live with Wave

I regret teaching my Miis about Arkin, human skeletons and cosplaying.

Everyone is addicted to riding the seesaws alone and having a good time for some reason??

And everyone keeps asking for MORE seesaws to be added to the island along with lampposts in the shittiest places imaginable

I made a nice little bonfire beach for you all to enjoy but you'd rather go gather at the seesaw that you guys put in the middle of fuck nowhere?????

Recreated the Miami Vice soundtrack album cover in the Palette House and released it into the wilds of my island.

Also made None Pizza Left Beef

Not even 3 seconds after Stealth was created and plopped onto the island he got an instant crush on Mandible. Then he ran into Rider and started crushing on him. Mandible also started crushing on Rider right after. I am sitting on my chair eating popcorn for this one!

Wave then started to have a crush on Rider but I turned that down real quick (I'm trying to get Wave with his canon boyfriend Synth)

Bamboo developed a crush on Blazer and when Bamboo tried to confess to feelings Rider SHOWS UP OUT OF NOWHERE to proclaim his love for Blazer. Blazer shot them BOTH down. Bamboo is depressed but she still feels she has hope in her crush on Blazer.

Rider is going to be a source of drama on my island isn't he?

Been a while since I last sewed a plushie. This time I decided to make Wave, another of my Splatoon OCs who also happens to be the Agent 8 stand-in for my story line.

His outfit is a mix from Octo Expansion, with the earring and choker taken from the Side Order uniform. The crossed hip belts are what the holsters for his Glooga Dualies are housed on. But here I didn't add the holsters, so it's just the belt.

Wave is made from scrap fabric I had laying around from previous sewing projects like cosplays, etc. He's mainly put together with felt as the main body, some spandex-like fabric for his clothes and his tentacles are a stretchy velvet. His face was hand painted with the exception of an embroidered mouth, beauty mark and the cuts in his eyebrows. He even has laces on his Octoleet Boots, and the yellow bands can be removed and reattached.

As with my previous plushies, the base pattern I used here is by dollphinwing. The tentacles are my own drafted pattern.

Coroika AU where everything is the same, except Yellow-Green Team are the opposite genders of what they currently are. They still have the same personalities as regular YG though, so nothing changes in that respect.

More of Avia from my sketchbook. When I get into a heavy art block or even a funk, sometimes drawing my OCs helps makes the process getting out of one a little bit more bearable.

Highly unfinished sketch yet the focus was more or less practice on the overall pose and angle. This type of angle had been giving me problems for a long while on account of the foreshortening on the lower half of the body. However as of recently I think I've finally sorted it out! References also help too.

Blazer and Bamboo sporting a pair of beautiful kimono.

Originally sketched this quickly near New Years and meant to post it around that time. So perhaps the girls are attending a New Year's celebration or a festival together?
