Night Night

It's more than a month late, but I've finally come around to finishing the last #inktober doodle… Featuring my favorite Alolan starter.

I dunno what spurred me to finish this at last but whatever it was, I'm grateful. I can breathe easily and relax again with it out of the way.

I'd like to thank all those who've been tuned in to my work, and apologies again for my… Terrible procrastination. I'll try to be more punctual in the future… /orz

Cheers to more art ahead!

Fishing Trip

"A girl, an owl, and a blue creature fish together."

Edit: Scanned and made tonal corrections after I learned some people used this as a background photo. You're welcome.

A tribute to my two closest friends on Cedar Craft. One of the houses I built on the server has a sign featuring this ink.

OMG 1 INK LEFT I CRI PLS #stopprocrastination2016

Ephemeral - Part 2

Thea's hand reached out towards Mary's shoulder. It felt as real as the last time she'd done, which had been a time long ago, yet remained vivid in the recesses of the siren's mind. And now, Mary was here… They were reunited at last.

In excitement she abruptly--and unintentionally--forced the brunette to face her. No one could blame her, really; Thea had missed seeing the girl's face, her complexities… The innocent face that she'd grown to become fond of in the time they spent together, one which she didn't realize she wanted to wake up every morning to until the day they were separated.

But as quickly as she had turned the brunette around, the smile on her face faded just the same.

Ephemeral - Part 1

In the middle of the darkness, Thea heard the jingle of a chain, and she turned, seeing her. The familiar, shorter brunette in teal clothes stood there, her back turned towards the siren. The girl made no motion to acknowledge the other's presence, keeping her head bowed as a shadow remained cast over her eyes.

Thea, however, was the opposite, becoming overwhelmed with a newfound sense of hope and unexplainable euphoria. She had never been so grateful to see Mary again, and after being separated from her for so long. The siren had long since vowed to bring Mary home no matter what, and soon, everything would be alright with the world again, now that she found her. She and Mary living peacefully in their quiet little island together… And nothing to keep them away from living their lives in serenity.

Just like old times.

Emotion guided her feet, bringing them to a sprint. As she neared, Thea stretched out her hand. It had been too long since she had last felt Mary's presence, and she needed to hold her--feel her--for herself… Just to prove she was real.

No… Thea realized. She must be.

She had to be.

Bleh, the last bits of #inktober slowly getting there… But I'm making progress, and just when I'm sick too. Huzzah!

Today, I'm shifting some focus to my OCs Thea and Mary. For the unaware, Thea is a retired singer living in recluse in a solitary island after her boyfriend disappeared at sea, and Mary is an amnesiac who washed up on the island one day and whom Thea eventually rescues. The two have since lived together for a time, until certain events eventually separated them from each other.

Shades

"Right, I knew that."

Some friends of mine know I like to use the B) emote in chat, so I portrayed how my avatar would look like doing it.

Also, what she's wearing is what I would wear when I'm out on the beach: a black rash guard and olive beach shorts. I'm not the type to flaunt, really.

Four inks left! Will post them up soon!

Haunting Past

We all have our demons, coming alive as our greatest fears. But at the end of the day we must inevitably face them… Conquer them.

And I'm back guys, posting the remaining inks I've made for #inktober (which I only managed to make time to post recently /orz)!

This demon is from an old, unpublished fan fiction of mine, which I eventually incorporated into Zephyr's backstory. Apparently there's more than what meets the eye with our arrogant and reckless traveler…

(South) Korea-Bound

Hey, guys.

As some of you may know, I'll be heading to South Korea for a few days. Company-paid trip and all, and I'll be going with my family as well. I will be documenting my trip on this blog under the tag Away From the Keyboard (AFK).

You can expect a medley of pictures about it coming in the next few days. As for the remaining #inktober posts, they'll all be posted during my trip as well. Productive free times are productive!

And to my CedarCraft peeps, I'll see you guys next week! I'll try to be on still though, have a chat here and there during my free time at the hotel. Don't miss me too much, eh guys? 

Besides, it's not like I won't be flying back… (/knocks on wood)

Fizzo

Finally, an outrageously simple yet completely different subject to doodle for once!

Here's a logo for a made-up brand of carbonated drinks, which I featured in Inktober #06 on one of the billboards in the background.

Strings

"My, what a lovely tune. Would you like to play a duet with me?"

Melody from Crypt of the NecroDancer, and Bo Wyatt from LISA: The Painful RPG. I had played both games around July of 2015.

Apparently, Melody is completely unaware that Bo hadn't seen a woman in so long due to the nature of things back in Olathe. Nonetheless, he doesn't seem to mind playing a string duet with the reincarnated bard.

Art Block

I have to admit… It's not like I don't have any ideas. It's just that I have such a hard time bringing them all to life on paper sometimes, especially when I want to play on Minecraft instead.

Welp. I now have 4 days worth of inks to catch up on… Whoopee-freakin'-doo.

Edit: Changed the image. Should be clearer now.

The Façade

Baby Firefox

Requested by a friend, who wanted it wearing a Super Mystery Dungeon scarf. And I thought, hey, why not.

Siren Seal

I'll be honest. Seeing Popplio's final evolution was initially disappointing for me. But someway, somehow, I grew a heart for Siren Seal. It's almost a bit like how I didn't love Emboar at first but later grew a heart for it. Is it the elegance? The beauty? The way it strikingly resembles my OC Tori with her hair up and down? Who knows.

Well! That ends the Pokémon Sun and Moon Starters series. Drawing all three of them was fun to do. I can't wait for the games to come out next month!

Zippocat

Litten's final evolution looks like a rehash of Crunch Bandicoot.

I hate the fact that it's likely to be another Fire/Fighting type, but at the same time I have to admit it's cool as hell.

Grass Owl

When Pokémon Sun and Moon come out, I'm definitely getting Rowlet as a starter.

Edit: Changed the photo. Should look better now.

Stubby Legs

…Or Ness, as I'd like to call him.

Haven't played EarthBound yet? I'm sorry but what have you been doing with your life? There should be SNES roms of it around, and emulators to play it on. I recommend it if you like 2D pixel RPGs.

Izakaya

Zephyr: "BAHAHAHAHAH, OH WOW LOL"
Kite: "Will you please shut the fuck up already!? I wanna eat without hearing you laugh like a maniac for once!"
Zephyr: "Lighten up, will ya?" (pulls over a bottle of sake) "Here, you should try this sake too; maybe it'll help you stop being such a stuck-up ass!"
Kite: "Get that damn thing away from me! I'm not a drunkard like you!"

Vir: (nudges Tori on the shoulder) "Hey Toooooria, how's 'bout you n' me skiddadle on outta here and find ourselves a nice quiet place for a good time, eh?"
Tori: (stops drinking and stares) What the hell, Vir--
Vir: C'mon, c'moooooon… That face of yours says 'nough. You know I don't bite, Tori. Not that hard anyway… (winks) I'll be nice n' gentle with you t'night. I prooomise. Now whaddya say, hmmm?
Tori: (facepalms) Oh dear god.

Izakayas are the Japanese version of bars in the West. They are not limited to alcohols alone, serving light meals like sushi and gyoza for people to munch on between their round of drinks. Others even feature heavier meals on their menus, such as katsudon and omurice for those who want to stuff themselves before having a drink.

I missed Japanese food, and drawing my OCs. Makes me glad to see these four get together in one picture like this for once.

The Egging Master

With the power of (Egg) Aura, nothing can stop him from egging every last build in Cedar Craft.

Drawn for my friend LucarioOfAura, who plays in the same Minecraft server as I do. Visit his Twitter here.

This picture was inspired by this thread at the CC website.

Also, very sorry for the lateness of posts! I will be posting the other challenges very soon (as soon as I get off of Minecraft to actually do them #sadface).

Top Dog

Papyrus: * HMMM… THERE'S SOMETHING ANNOYING ABOUT THIS ROOM. BUT I CAN'T QUITE PLACE MY FINGER ON IT…

How could I forget the most basic Tobydog Annoying Dog?

After all these detailed inks I've decided to go for a simple one this time. I prefer the Annoying Dog this way.

This concludes my inked Undertale dogs mini-series. It was a lot of fun! My personal favorites in the last few days were Doggo and Greater Dog, to be honest. I hope to draw more Undertale stuff in the future!

Inescapable

* You try looking away, but it seems to appear everywhere you look.

The stuff of cynophobic nightmares.
