#lytzyv

Phew! Well, this was a big effort that took over a week to put together. I unfortunately got it submitted to Twitter/X and BlueSky a little late. But here is my Holiday drawing for Christmas 2024!

I wanted to include as many of my friends as I could in this drawing as I have in years past. Unfortunately, I only really had time for flat coloring. But hopefully things turned out well regardless.

From left to right we have a massive "noodle" dragon named Batto. This was my Secret Santa gift on Discord this year. It honestly looks like he might be able to swoop around and engulf the entire group here.

The blue canine-like characters are Sketch Tucker and Heather Britannia. Anyone that follows me knows that I'm a big fan of these guys. I'm not sure what kinda silly pose they've got going on. But it seems like Sketch wanted to be a bit funny and perform a dip with Heather holding him up. It's sort of symbolic in a way. Despite Sketch being the stronger of the two, I feel like Heather is like his rock. The love of his life that keeps him moving.

Then we have my characters, the main cast of Fix-It Cat. Collin LiBee is adorned in his Santa suit this year, again. With his friends, Maria and Milo Waite there to support him.

To the right of them, we have Jessi Schaefer and Jesse. They seem to be conversing about something. Possibly about the time Jesse visited Jessi at her home town.

Next up we have Cooper the Husky riding on top of Kottarooi. Given that Kottarooi is based on Louie from Bomberman, I can see them doing something like this from time to time. Those two are basically like inseparable brothers.

From there we see that ever mysterious character named Lytzyv. I'm not entire sure what's going on in his head at the moment. I believe he may be looking for something. But I'm not sure what.

And speaking of other mysterious characters, next to Lytzyv is the silent protagonist of GatoSlip. The Undertale inspired Sonic The Hedgehog Sega MegaDrive/Genesis hack. I think he needs a bath.

And at the right end is Ramune the protogen, and beside him is Roocan the raccoon, who also appears to be sporting a Santa suit for the occasion. Although, I think he might be worried that he might have knocked Ramune's arm off. Oh well, it's a modular part that can be reassembled if needed. I know Collin can get his toolkit out a little later to fix him.

I hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas this year, or whichever holiday you celebrate. Despite things being chaotic this year, it's always good to have a bit of fun.

Happy Holidays, everyone! This year I decided to put together some pictures of various folks. They’re all in a style that makes them seem shorter than usual. I did my best to get them looking good, so apologies if there’s any errors. Admittedly I had only planned to make eight of these, but I had experienced a drive to keep making more – a phenomenon that’s been incredibly rare for me these days – so that number expanded to 16. They’re mostly featuring folks on Twitter that I know, like, and/or admire in some meaningful capacity, so I hope they all like what I’ve put together!

For NS-Games, it’s the “Fix-It Cat” Collin LiBee. A very good friend who’s good with computer problems, and has been making some nice art to boot! He’s wearing his purple shirt today, and showing off a laptop with a familiar wallpaper design.

For PetrarchEleven, it’s his protogen character Ramune! He seems to be having a good time, dancing and waving those glowing batons all around. He just needs to be careful! If he doesn’t watch where he goes he could accidentally fall to pieces!

For Saturn’s Rings and Colonel Sandwich, it’s their respective characters Saturn and Terry, posing together for this one. Early on this year Saturn had asked for a picture of the two together, and this was the opportunity to do it. They are indeed a cute pair!

For Treevis, it’s his character Lytzyv, dashing and looking cool. I think this is the fourth iteration of him that I had made, with little tweaks in design each time. I don’t see too many images of him these days, so hopefully I got all the details down.

For VAdaPEGA, it’s Pantufa the Cat, as he appears in the “Extended Edition” of his game. I always thought he looked good in that attire. But with how small he is, I didn’t think it was enough, so Honker is here as well! It’s a two-fer! (Or maybe a “Toof-er”?)

For Cooper the Husky, we have…Cooper the Husky! He’s got a cute art style and characters to match, so I tried to keep with some of the aesthetic. I particularly liked his “modern outfit,” so that’s what he’s wearing here.

For Miles Fox, it's Charlotte, the main character of his work-in-progress, “SLAY-BELLS!” She seemed like an appropriate character to draw this time of year. I somehow ended up making her look like something from a Rankin-Bass special…which I guess is also appropriate.

For HunterBahamut, this is Hunter. I had drawn Bahamut a few times before, but this is the first time I made this one – I opted for his black-and-white iteration.. I’m not sure if he’s running away from or towards danger, but he sure looks like he’s ready to confront it either way.

It's that time of year again! Time for the annual Summary of Art for 2024!

Like last year, I was unable to complete a full calendar year of drawings. Mainly because I had travel and work projects between the months of September and October. So I put my own little creative spin on this again. Highlighting some of my favorite drawings throughout the year.

"Why do you follow me? You are not the one I seek out."

A belated birthday gift for @treevis121

I did a drawing of that every mysterious character of his known as Lytzyv. He appears to be an desert setting here, which just felt like an appropriate setting in my mind. But who could he possibly be seeking out? I think only he may know.

I took a bit of time to put this together, as I did a sketch and then the line art a couple of weeks ago. But didn't end up coming back to it until just prior to Treevis' birthday. So, I ended up making a few tweaks as I went along to try and fix the parts I didn't think were working. Hopefully the end result looks OK, and that Treevis can enjoy this.

For this year’s holiday I did three drawings for some friends of mine.

For @malamiteltd I did a drawing of Lead helping Copper out after he’s been sick in bed for a few days. After hearing about Copper, he decided to bring him a dish from Earth called “soup”. He heard it’s supposed to help people feel better when they’re sick.

For @treevis121 I did a drawing of his mysterious character, Lytzyv. This one is based on a drawing Travis did of Lytzyv back in 2018.

And finally I did a drawing of Jessi Schaefer for @parlareart . This drawing features Jessi taking some time to draw on her tablet. Featuring a real-life Jack Skellington hoodie. And yes, I had to do a little doodle of Jack Skellington just to make this.
