#tammyverse

Helloooo! Did you miss me? Yeah, it’s been a long time. Have been doing my traditional doodles at my own humble pace, hope to show something soon! Oh, and also have been dealing with cosplay and personal stuff.

Speaking of cosplay, hope Bottled Up ( @bottledupcomic ) fans are ready, because I did a photoshoot with my Tanrine cosplay some weeks ago, and can finally show some of my favorite pictures to you!

I am in love with these photos!!! That was a very fun morning!

... how do I explain this? XD

Once upon a time, @davionstar / @davionarts was streaming their Azure Striker Gunvolt gameplay, and at some point, when one of the bosses started doing their pre-battle speech, Davion said “yeah, right, Arnick” or something.

And now I CANNOT UNSEE the similarities between Jota and @tamarinfrog / @searching-for-bananaflies ‘s character. Thought it would be a nice idea to draw a crossover... and a good excuse to draw Arnick in a suit >_> 

I was talking to @pyrofleurs and she was also drawing another of Tammy’s characters in non-squid version wearing a suit so... we just conspired together to give their creator a heart attack =3 (or at least try pfff)

I want to thank Davion for the inspiration and Pyro for all the precious art tips and motivation! And hope Tammy doesn’t mind a little crossover for a good cause, heh.

BUP 16 - Part 01 of 02

Well, as I was saying in my last year’s art summary, one day I felt like doing a quick drawing of Whinter, from the Bottled Up webcomic ( @bottledupcomic ), and decided I wanted to draw all main BUP characters the same way, at least once, to see how it felt.

You see, I’m not fast with drawing, and sometimes weeks pass between two sketches, but I’m finally halfway done, so I decided to post my progress so far! Their creator, @tamarinfrog , is the one who picks character order, by the way. So we have Whinter, Sorrel, Clementine, Angelo, Logan, Tanrine, Taloupe and Vadelma. Some nice variety of characters.

At first, I was planning to keep things really simple and fast, but I know I was not very consistent with that, hahaha! I’ve been learning a lot, anyway, and have been enjoying drawing with pencils again. Hope you like it!

Forgot to post these for some reason, they are a few weeks old already.

Bottled Up (@bottledupcomic , by @tamarinfrog ) is getting closer to fully begin, and it had been a while since I started imagining how my OC quartet would look if they were Glasses, the elemental spirits of that universe. So I decided to do some sketches in good old mechanical pencil.

Nana, blonde girl, is Fire, and her body is like living incense. Think bard, but with aromas instead of songs. Mostly good aromas, probably, since she’s cute and nice as heck.

Pietro, tidy boy, is Earth. He controls clay. Probably not matching his boyish power fantasy of being bulky and throwing boulders, but I’m sure his atful, crafty, dedicated self compensates for that - if he wasn’t so invested in hiding it.

Will, suntan guy, is Wind. He controls air in ways that make things easy to lift and carry. He’s a laid-back, positive person, so if his powers can make life easier, why not?

Veronica, braid lady, is Water. Dancing is an important part of her life, and she does it beautifully both on a floor or, thanks to her powers, also underwater, where she gets great maneauverability.

Nothing here is written on stone (I may probably put Will’s bottle on his belt in the future, for an example.), but right now, these are my ideas, and I’m having fun thinking about them! =)

So... looks like Tetrox likes gold =3

I remember Tammy comparing Arnick with Waluigi, so I thought that cosplay deserved a duo, hoho! Also, since I think her Bottled Up version doesn’t have a definitive bottle design, I went with the gold theme and gave it a gold chain and a shape that ressembles alchemist glassware.

I’ve been planning to try soft colors again and this was a good opportunity! Also, sketching on paper before going digital helped me with the pose. I’m really happy with how this turned out! Hope you like it too!

Was reorganizing my files and found this sketch that had never seen the light of day until now.

Way before writing it as a fanfic, I had considered drawing “Rain of Nectar” in comic format. But after doing some brief tests, like this one, I accepted the fact I was not fast enough with drawing for comics to be viable, and still am not, to be honest. Then I switched to what I’m more experienced with.

Decided to share because this blog could use a new post, and I admit I like this for some reason ^_^” Also, bless @tamarinfrog ‘s characters, really. Can’t wait to see more defined images of these two babies in their Bottled Up (the artist’s original comic, to start soon) versions!

So... Splatoon 2nd Anniversary is right here.

I did’t get the game on Day 1 because I thought it wasn’t for me. I mean, shooter game? Online multiplayer? Nothing of that interested me that much back then. But the visuals and style of the game were amazing, so I quickly got interested anyway. Also, some friends I trust told me the game was lots of fun and easy to learn. That was one part of the reason why I bought the game.

But some other very relevant things that influenced me into getting the game were some very early arts of a very cute inkling couple created by @tamarinfrog​ / @cafe-cardamari​ . Everyone knows I like romance and fluff a lot, so I enjoyed very much the idea that squids could be shippable, haha!

If Clementine and Whinter are to blame for me getting into this new game and fandom that brings me joys and challenges every day, I thought it was only fair for me to draw those two today.

Those two characters never stopped evolving since they were created, and one day, by the will of their creator, they will live new adventures outside Splatoon. And I will love them regardless of the universe.

Because @tamarinfrog and @buttersheeps recently joined forces and gave their fans massive heart attacks with “Unseen Friendship”, a comic about how their characters Angelo and Orca met. And they are the hype. And NO DOUBT I ship them.

My mind wandered and my hands fell on keyboard. Here’s a brief result.

She loved to see his face.

~ The first time she touched his face to "see" him, she wanted to know the face of her new friend. He wasn't really expecting it. He was all nervous and awkward, but couldn't avoid being a little flustered.

~The second time she asked to see his face, she felt the need to relive her memory. Her touch was so much slower. He felt this was the day he realized he had fallen for her.

~The third time, they were a few years older. She was so gentle. At some point, her hands wandered over his lips, he got carried away and kissed her hand. A pause. But it was ok.

~ The fourth time, she took longer exploring the area around his eyes. He couldn't help being nervous, but at the same time, so at peace. She kissed his eyes. He sighed lightly. She kissed his lips. It did not feel wrong at all.

~ The fifth time, he could see the smirk in her lips, and raised an eyebrow. Her touch relaxed his face, but that peace was lost when a light kiss started trying to explore further. She couldn't see with her eyes, but she could feel all over his face he was hesitant. A series of light kisses surrendered him, though. She could notice the sharp touch of his teeth, but did not mind much. The lovely sounds escaping his throat while the kiss slowly deepened were way more important.

Thanks a lot to @davionstar for being my Fluff Squad beta and bringing some ideas used on “fourth time” <3
