i call it ✨bold and brash✨

- spongebob: he's lowkey based on how i dressed in college, lol -- short hair, suspenders, button-up, and saddle shoes. obviously i took inspo from broadway spongebob, but i also had tom kenny in mind hence the glasses. i also think the idea of him with a wispy mustache is incredibly cute and ties into his whole kid-in-an-adult's body thing

- patrick: a lot of inspo from musical patrick, obvs, but i was thinking of soos from gravity falls oddly enough. not really much to say about pat he kinda just clicked immediately for me

- squidward: i'm not lying, i based him almost ENTIRELY off this meme

this picture just had raw squidward energy to me. the expression, the pose, the vibe. i'm also surprised that there aren't a lot of bald human squidwards! i wanted mine to be bald for canon accuracy

- sandy: i really wanted to incorporate the shape language of her original design, hence the puffs in place of ears. i can't pin down the name of the artist, but i saw them put her in a puffer jacket with cowboy boots and that just felt right. star earrings because she loves space!

- mr krabs: honestly my favorite design of the lot. i was trying to think of a way to convey his teeny little legs on his wide body and then i remembered! mr krabs is a navy vet. prosthetic legs seemed like a good solution and i wanted to represent disability regardless, so i did some research and based his legs off of what i found. i also added scars because i know that man was throwing hands even if he was just the cook lol

- plankton: VERY inspired by dexter from dexter's lab and boris from rocky & bullwinkle. i wanted him to be simple because plankton's design in the show is so effortlessly simple

-gary: i love it when people draw him as a hairless cat! plain and simple

- karen: god i redrew karen about 50 times before i got it right. originally she had a big b-52s updo that mimicked the shape of her monitor but it didn't quite look right. i decided to just do a bun and i think it conveyed the idea a little better. originally she was going to look more like a 50s housewife, but given how much she's grown as a character in recent years i thought she deserved something cooler. she strikes me as the type to just wear whatever's comfy, even if she's a robot

- pearl: based heavily off of musical pearl. i really just thought about what i saw teens wear when i worked at the mall a few years back. i also wanted her to be a little preppy! i referenced regina george a little bit with some of her alternate outfits from the show tossed in. i think those pimple patches are adorable and since she has trouble with barnacles it feels like she'd wear em!

- mrs puff: hoo boy. her design was a very personal one for me. she always reminded me of my dearly departed aunt trish; their personalities were very different but she sounded so much like her it was scary. i mentioned it in the tags, but i imagine she has HUNDREDS of prison tats on her back and chest lmao. that's why her tattoo for donna is visible

had an idea for a spongesona. in my rewatch of the show i realized i really love mrs puff and i think the idea of her having estranged every single family member except a random nephew who casually exists in the same town is really funny

bonus doodle based on that one iasip scene

I'M OPEN FOR COMMISSIONS (YEAGH)

i have a crippling amount of medical debt i need to get paid off and also need to eat food so i am remaking my commissions post! our situation isn't super dire but basically my gf and i are barely keeping our heads above water

i realize i've changed my format and raised my prices a bit; i'm always open to negotiating and feel free to dm me if you have questions!

i have a lot of thoughts about future!twilight. mainly that her canon design is ass and that she spends probably thousands of years without most of her friends and her family (maybe just 1000 years idk i have gone watched g5) and how much that must hurt

she has an intense amount of repressed trauma that she hides for the sake of equestria, and she is grappling with the fact that her ascension was. not really a choice. she hasn’t spoken to celestia in ages because there’s so much resentment. she finds comfort in cadance and flurry heart, because they both know the exact same pain — except cadance has flurry and twilight has… no one. spike was the last to go and was the one that hurt the most. the thought of anything happening to them makes her frequently spiral into anxiety meltdowns

she hates that she used to be so much more put-together, that at one point she had it all figured out. but her confidence waned after every loss. she’s come to resent the title of “princess of friendship”

i think of her as kind of a blue diamond-esque figure; someone who has been around for millennia and has not coped with her grief, and eventually makes it everyone else’s problem

despite wanting to, she has never taken a partner; she cannot cope with the idea of outliving them, and has intense regret over not telling sunset shimmer how she felt. she obsessively observes the human world from a distance, finding both comfort and agony in seeing scitwi & sunset’s children and descendants. it’s one of her few forms of escape
