The Riverian

Hi there! I'm so glad I managed to finish these drawings right on time, since today is know in some countries as "International Mud Day". You might be wondering how I even know about it... well, it doesn't really matter. It's just an excuse to create a fun, innocent comic of characters getting down n' dirty.

The only ones from the TDI-RR cast who I think would actually enjoy getting muddy today are Dawn and Monica. One loves connecting with nature, and the other simply likes getting dirty. (In case you're wondering who on earth is Monica, she's an OC of mine; here's her bio.)

I also needed a contrast to them. But instead of picking divas like Dakota or Anne, I chose Zoey. She isn't like a diva, but she still absolutely hates getting dirty... too bad the other two couldn't care less about that.

Happy Father's Day!

Behold, my first OC contestant (well, not the very first, but the only one I like to introduce with great fanfare). I've introduced her before, but here I'll tell you more about her.

Monica Kimmick, a nineteen-year-old blondie, is passionate about science, especially chemistry. The difference between her and other "scientific" characters in the canon is that she's more energetic, and above all, more "gross."

When she's researching a curious substance, the only way for her to test it is to literally taste it, even if it makes her vomit frequently.

She also does other activities, some dangerous, like plucking a shark's nose hairs; and she never stops writing down everything she discovers, even at night.

And I hope that with this characterization you'll consider her part of the ROTI castin my new AU fanfic season. Many OCs are just no-flavor self-inserts; here, I just tried to mold her to fit the style of Total Drama: chaotic, funny, and gross.

The reason I made this was when @s-grunge made pretty redraws of Dawn. And I say "I wanna do the same but my OP's." (The Sam's one is in another post.)

I just made a background for the first and last picture because I wanted to done this quickly and 'cause I just wanted to draw the character pose.

What do you think? Do you like my Sam's redesign?

Hi, in case you missed it, last October I did a challenge to post a drawing of one or more mutated contestants every day of the month (and I managed to complete it!). A few people asked if I could do more.

I don't know how long each one took, but here's the first one with two mutations I've done: Zoey and Dawn. They've been redrawn a bit to match my current redesigns.

What do you think? Would you like to see more mutant designs (either from those seen in Mutantober or from other contestants I haven't drawn yet)?

And introducing...

My new project with my redesigned ROTI cast (plus one). Pilot Episode available now on AO3! Here:

English version

Spanish version

This is a project I've been working on since late 2025 (at least the pilot).

I'm looking for feedback from interested people to get a sense of how my vision for this hypothetical second-generation reboot is received.

But here's the thing: If you're a Spanish speaker, feel free to participate without translating anything for me. As you can see on the cover, the pilot is also localized in Spanish. And note, "localized," not a regular translation; it's adapted so that Spanish speakers can understand it and even identify with it (whether it's names, jokes, or the accents some characters have).

My second and final entry for this week. (I already had three pencil drawings done, but I didn't want to crunch myself out any more knowing I wouldn't finish them all. The previous one I was supposed to upload yesterday was almost done too, but I thought it not was good enough.)

The only lovers I could think of were Maggey Byrde and Dick Gumshoe, so it was fun to switch their roles. Gumshoe is just an ordinary cop who still has feelings for Maggey. And she, despite being a detective, still has her classic bad luck (watch her step closely).

This is my entry for a fan week that u/Nitro_Indigo started in a post on Reddit. But I should tell you that I won't be doing one every day (I planned which characters to draw in each category, but I don't want to crunch me, so I'll only do three days).

Honestly, out of all the drawings, this is my favorite. It's a swap between Apollo and Klavier that came to me when I heard the word "rivals."

It's exactly the same, except the rock star is Apollo (very fitting because of his chords of steel and something else I won't mention because it's a SOJ spoiler) and Klavier is just a regular prosecutor who loves music and Justice songs.

Seventh and final day. I've finally finished this!

The last world is no other than Donkey Kong world (reason: today, February 9th, it was premiered the epidose named "Runaway Model" that have a Donkey Kong reference) but it's the Bananza world, the new game (I haven't played it yet, but those who have it, have fun with it!). I chose it because it was new and had a duo I could recreate well. (Dakota and Pauline are aspiring little stars, after all.)

Meanwhile, the last sketch isn't related to the video game; it's the ending to the prologue I did. If you didn't see it, Sam basically used a machine of dubious origin so he and Dakota could play in high virtual reality. The unknown can have big consequences.

Day six, and here we have something very different. Instead of a static picture, I brought you a GIF. Today's world is none other than Cuphead.

I didn't do anything more than this because, well, I'm new to the Rubber House style, and what I did wasn't animation (I simply made two silhouettes of each character and edited them to make it look like they were doing squats.)

But what I did enjoy about this was designing Sam and Dakota as Cuphead-style cup people. Instead of just tracing them, I looked for the best way to highlight their physical characteristics in the game's signature style. I hope you like it.

There's no sketch, since this is a GIF, and I really couldn't think of anything funny to draw. But anyway, tomorrow you'll see the last world.

Day five, with a great RPG classic, Chrono Trigger. My favorite part of this one was drawing Sam and Dakota as Chrono and Marle (I dyed Sam's hair red and made it longer to mimic Chrono's).

Since it's a video game about time travel, the sketch had to be about that.
