I have too many hobbies

lmao ANOTHER secret brother??? Animator you can’t keep doing this (ofc you might not even make them related. but it’s incredibly entertaining thinking about this lol)

Hee! Yes! Season 3 of AVA is going to be a ride, I can tell that much already ^^ And I am already enjoying thinking about it and how I'm going to adapt it to AtCotW

But I don't want to spoil things too much. So what can I say? Hmm...

Haha don't be sorry ^^ You mean you're enjoying my work and want to tell me about it and engage with it more? How could I be mad at that! :) Nah, I might not be the fastest at responding, but I love all of the comments I get - both here and on the series proper <3

lol but who’s your favorite? Of the cg/etc

Hello! Sorry about the delay on answering this. I have been on holiday :)

Oho but no, I have not answered this question yet >:) And I know that because I might have been deliberately keeping it a secret. Partly because I like seeing who you all gravitate towards. And partly because I've wanted to come across as unbiased as possible when it comes to the colour gang

Cause the thing is, I love all of these funny little goobers so much more than the rest of the cast and I really want them all to have the chance to shine independent of each other <3 Which, don't get me wrong! Is not to say I don't like Chosen and Dark and Victim and King, etc. They're all still really cool and really interesting characters that I've been greatly enjoying writing and hearing you all gush about them :) But they just can't compete with my love for Orange, Green, Yellow, Blue, Red and Purple

Haa! Once more hitting me with the hard questions! XD Hmm... There are so many things I could answer with. The action, the humour, all the world building I've gotten to create for this world or the side characters I've be able to flesh out

But I think, in the end, it has to be the main characters and their relationships with each other. I love getting to explore all the nooks and crannies of their personalities. How they play off of each other and bring out sides you don't get to see often. How they irritate each other. How they're there for them in moments of hurt. How they make each other better and worse people. And, above all, just how much they care about one another!

I keep imagining them ping ponging back and forth between “yelling bc we’re mad” and “screaming bc oh my GOD BLUE THAT IS A LOT OF SCARRING” fshdhhkfsgg

Hee! The reunion is going to be great! And totally won't be fraught with emotions from all the parties involved at all! :P

(other favorite is Blue. my son boy I lovehim)

Ahah, I both do and don't actually ^^

Answering these together since they're pretty similar

I have seen the new episode! :D And I enjoyed it a lot! Personally, I loved getting to see some more of Purple and King bonding together, as well as King's character progression after being an antagonist in AVM Season 3. I liked the way the episode took the time showcasing how the trauma of Gold's death is still affecting him and how that was making him overprotective of Purple now. As well as Purple's annoyed push back against the coddling. Both felt very natural for the two and made for a sympathetic teething problem in their new dynamic. So I also like that they both had to learn and grow by the end of the episode <3 The fight scenes were also as awesome as always! And I think the Aether realm was a pretty neat setting :)

Ooh! Hard question to answer without spoilers but I'll do my best!

Let's start with King Orange. Since I'm currently adapting AVM Season 3 this is an easier one to tackle. And it's honestly been fairly straight forward so far. There's really not that much heavy-lifting I've had to do to fit it neatly into the world/timeline. Sure AVA Season 2 happened before it, but since so much of the action occurs in the Nether/other realms, there's not a lot that I actually have to bring forward from that last arc. The Animator is living with them now, but with his limitations on mobility, he's only really going to be relevant in the beginning and aftermath stuff. Which means the only part I'm really taking into the adventures themselves is the lingering trauma the CG have

And don't get me wrong! They will be dealing with that trauma along the way. Like can be seen with Blue and his emotional journey currently, I will be spending time focusing on all of the kids and how the aftermath of AVAS2 has been impacting them. But on the whole, I've had a lot of freedom to focus most of my attention on things like fleshing out the background characters and the realms they visit, giving the characters some down time, as well as on developing the main characters further.

Speaking of which, let's talk a bit about King Orange. Since King hasn't shown up in the story yet, I won't say too much about him quite yet. But I can say that he too, will not be exempt from the character introspection this arc. Since his character motivations aren't really that big of a surprise this time around, I don't have to worry about the mystery aspect with him so much. Which means that I can instead spend the time digging into his character and his relationship with Purple before his redemption. Getting the time to highlight how the person we know him to become after this season (a grumpy father figure with trauma about losing his child) are still there. Just buried under a thick layer of grief and anger and many, many poor choices

As for Victim and AVAS3. Well, that's a little harder to talk about. Mostly because it might still be further away than you think it is - like, at least 3 stories after the current arc to get through first kinda far. There are just other things that need to happen before then. Between resolving character tensions, seeding in more hints, giving the Animator time to get more involved with all the kids and giving Chosen an extended time without Dark being there (as well as giving the OG story time to come out), it's probably going to be sitting there building in the background for a little while first

But let's see what hints I can give you! Currently Victim and Rocket Corp do exist in the Modem Realm (so look out to more hints of that coming at some point). And yes, they are connected to the Animator in some way. Dark will be showing up again. And both Chosen and the Animator will be forced to face the consequences of their actions. But that's probably all I can give you at this time :)

Ooh, good question! Hmm, I think warmer colours would look the nicest through a window pane but we already get yellow light in morning/evenings. So I think I would go with like a rose pink to really add a nice cozy glow :)

So, I finally got around to adapting The Chosen One and The Dark Lord in my AVA fanfic series. So now I can reveal their full designs. Alongside the Animator :D

Very happy with how they turned out

Also, have the full Hollow elf family together as well as everyone drawn so far

Guess who's back with a new customised doll! :D Been a little bit since I've posted art here but have the latest in my line of Toonkind OC's made real. This time with Joy Fuller!
