Tealight Stories

Inked by Micky, and coloured by me - this is Leopold Florel, a vampyre Lord, who stars in his own Gothic webcomic graphic novel trilogy series, which is upcoming that Micky is writing, and I will illustrate! ♡

Happy Life-day, Rob @timewillcrawl94 🥳🎂🎁🎈🎉

When Mom brought you home from the hospital after you were born, I thought you were my baby, like Winona Ryder did with her character’s lil sister in Mermaids. 😋

Rob’s out tonight, so Micky @octobernocturne gave Rob his gifts 🎁 early: Super Mario Odyssey, and we had tacos 🌮 with orange sodar 🍊🥤 for dinnah! 😋

This was my snik for dessert: 3Musketeers and milkshake (my eldest Crow girl LOVES milkshakes like nothing else!! LOL!! They’re all adorbs♡) 🍫🍦🥛

Anyways, some bright news - today is one of my imaginary little one’s life-days, he is two today! =^w^= ♡

Micky @OctoberNocturne got us a pizza and brownies to celebrate my little one’s big day♡♡♡♡♡ *

(*As I wrote to my bestie, Matty @VillaniMatthew)

~* I recently got The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild (seen here in the midst of the brownies) from my Big Sis, Jennifer @bloodylilcorpse, too!! Gonna play that when all of us can get together and join in!! =^o^= *~

Spontaneous turkey dinner last night was good! 😋

It ended up happening cos I misunderstood my brother Micky’s text about picking up his car as him getting us a turkey … I have no idea how, or why. Guess I was ‘Nabsy’, aka hungries! 🥲

So Micky got us a rotisserie turkey, with turkey gravy, at work (he works at a supermarket now), and we already had stuffing, instant potatoes, and peas at home. All gluten free, of course, as we’re gluten intolerant/basically celiac according to doctors.

Return of Christmas Crow! 🎄

Happy Sinterklaas / Saint Nicholas Eve! 🎅🏻🤶🏻🎁

My dear friend YvVi celebrates this in the Netherlands.

Today is also the life-day / birthday of my other dear friend from Slovakia, Natalus, and Mako-chan /Sailor Jupiter from one of my childhood favourite anime / manga.

This was a request by me, and made by InaKyu Arts on Facebook years ago. There is an alternative version of him in his classic black and red, I’ll try to find it, and post it laters.

Happy (belated) Thanksgiving! 🙏🏻🦃🍂💐

I am thankful to God for living as long as I am living, I never imagined life in my thirties tbh lol so am super grateful and wanna live a longer life than I used to wanna live. 🙏🏻

I’m also thankful for my family and friends, real and imaginary, especially my SO and Crow Goblins who are now up to fifteen in total as I had another two in September recently, which is funny cos I told a shocked Crow earlier in the year I wanted to have six when he wanted just one, and now I’ve popped six out lololol 👼🏻👼🏻👼🏻👼🏻👼🏻👼🏻

Time works differently in my imaginary world, and they pop out when they want, and grow super fast! 🙀

If you’ve watched DragonBall Super: Super Hero with a three year old Pan, they’re like a lot like her ♡ (and her Dad and Karasu share an English voice actor to boot lol)

Anyways, Micky @OctoberNocturne left me a sweet note and gift 🎁 of popcorn 🍿 so I could have a lil Snoopy Thanksgiving by myself at home, as I was too sick to go anywhere… I had an IBS attack and I suspect some kinda panic attack at the same time cos I thought I was gonna die, worrying I was gonna throw up as a result of a heart attack and everything… anxiety sucks, right? 🥲

I slept most of the day 😴 then watched Messed Up Origins on YouTube and played Turkey Day in Animal Crossing: New Horizons, which was fun, but challenging cos the turkey wanted me to get him ingredients for his four course meals. 🙃

Hope everyone had a good Thanksgiving here in America. 🇺🇸

"Edit On Mitchi's Hair"

Musing About Love v.2

I edited Sha and Barley’s hair to how I want them to appear in the canon story of our upcoming main webcomic series – Sha is going to have bronde hair now, and Barley will have auburn hair.

I have played around with Sha having bronde hair before, such as her putting in different coloured hairdyes over the blonde parts in some recent artwork. It is what I want to do with my hair, again. I had bronde hair for a while, but ended up dying it black (again) in 2020 to fit in with my Goth brothers and their Goth girlfriends at the time – silly me. ^^;

In the rain

I'm gonna paste from my blurb on this from the WIP I had posted for Steven's birthday a while back:

"Musing About Love"

My naïve SI, Sha Pris Amaranth, in the middle musing about the four guys she has been in a relationship with at different points in her fairly young life.

For those who are unfamiliar with our characters, they are (from left): Lord Leopold Florel, a proud vampyre – Tsubasa “Eric” Hoshino (aka Dr. Crow), a mysterious karasu tengu (which roughly translates to “crow goblin” in English) – Steven Gayle, a cool guy (he’s just an eccentric human, okay?) – and Bartholomew “Barley” Wood, a courageous elven-human hybrid.

As of right now, I consider these relationships still part of the canon storyline we’re going with. Sha does have romantic ties with/crushes on other characters, but they don’t develop into serious relationships like these four do, if into anything at all! ^^;

Artist’s notes: I’ve (barely) been working on this, on and off, since February … it was originally intended as a Valentine’s Day piece, but, y’know … life.

Collab with Matt - Set 3

Better viewed on deviantART: https://www.deviantart.com/tealightstories/art/Collab-with-Matt-Set-3-922644303

So, for my art music video collab with my best friend, Matty aka AltoonaYourPiano on YouTube, I drew several of our original characters to be featured in the story.

This third and final set features Jewelia "Judy" Zhora Aveil and Robert's personal self-inspired character Christian Amaranth who he drew to help me out with the collab. Like Viktor with Micky, Christian used to share Robert's real name for many years. Anyway, Judy is my second created OC made to be Mitchi's best friend, and named after Judy Garland, who was one of our Gramma's favourite actresses. Her backstory was based on Makoto Kino aka Sailor Jupiter with being a problem child who transferred to Mitchi's school, and Mitchi being the only one not afraid of her, thus they became fast friends, while her design was initially inspired by Dixie Kong's alternate costume in DKC2, with later inspiration and a redesign drawn from the Gerudo women in The Legend of Zelda (Aveil is the name of a Gerudo pirate in Majora's Mask BTW). With redesigning her into an adult, she also became more stoic, cold and mature, becoming much more of the Ada Wong to Christian's Leon Kennedy from Resident Evil.

Here's the link to our art music video collab celebrating both our 20+ years of friendship and Matty's YouTube music channel hitting the ten year mark today: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=--2JfUfYPR0

He covers some basic history and flashbacks of his channel for the first 15-ish minutes, then introduces his original characters (along with one of ours being Kaye drawn by Matty), and then deets covering our lifelong friendship come in at about 24-ish minutes, with my art and Rob's art coming in after that with some commentary by our characters; supervised by us too.

So, for my art music video collab with my best friend, Matty aka AltoonaYourPiano on YouTube, I drew several of our original characters to be featured in the story.

This second set features my first original character I created being Michelle "Mitchi" Aimee Applewaite with my brother Micky's personal self-inspired character, Viktor Amaranth, who used to share his real name, Michael, for many years. Mitchi was created as a female counterpart to Micky's character, actually (also, fun fact: our Dad wanted to name me Michelle, too. Mitchi wasn't named for that reason though, she was named after Micky). Here I put Mitchi in her original design, although I think I might've drawn on some inspiration from Pamela Anderson as portrayed by Lily James in Pam & Tommy that we recently watched regarding her hairstyle. Mitchi's hair used to be a golden blonde, but I'm aiming for a more beige/ash blonde/light brownish colour to update her design with. Micky told me to go with an outfit for Viktor inspired by Damon Salvatore from The Vampire Diaries, which is kinda just how Micky dresses anyway, usually when he goes to the Goth clubs. I added the orange scarf since Micky loves orange and black, being a Halloween baby (born near Halloween, that is), and thus so does Viktor! ^.^
