Collab with Matt – Set 3

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.

P.S. The background is by my bestie, Matty!! 😀 Also, read my pinned comment for more fun deets on YouTube!! >:3

WIP: Carnation, Amy, and Leopold (CotMS)

(From left to right: Carnation, Amy, and Leopold from our Gothic novel, Curse of the Mystic Sword.) 🥀💀🥀

I’ve been rearranging the apartment, since I realised I have a lot of space in my room (technically a large walk-in closet), so I have been taking my boxes of old stuff from the hallway, and putting them into my room.

Naturally, I’ve been going thru some of the boxes as I do so, and was happy to rediscover my art book from 2015-2016 (when we resided at the Victorian mansion), which I thought was lost forever! I was so grateful to find it – tysm, God! 🙇🏻‍♀️🙏🏻😇

I also found a very large sketchbook with this trio inside its pages; what’s so special, as well as rare, about this is, all three of us drew this together – I drew Carnation, Micky @octobernocturne drew Amy, and Rob @timewillcrawl94 drew Leopold! 👩🏻‍🎨👨🏼‍🎨👨🏻‍🎨

They’re in Curse of the Mysic Sword, a Gothic novel we’ve been writing since Autumn, 2006. Carnation is an independent woman, ever at odds with Leopold, who – unbeknownst to her – is a vampyre, as is his adopted daughter, Amy. 🌹🥀🦇🥀🌹

(… we’re gonna need a bigger scanner! 😆)

Ice Jiu Jitsu

Finally completed! This has been my collaboration with Robert over the past two months; a lot of depression and procrastination got in the way, but I finally overcame my bad emotions this weekend!  This is the first prompt “water/snow/ice” in the Elemental Magic art challenge on PaperDemon, featuring Robert’s personal character, Robert Amaranth, the Winter Warrior fighting a dark elf {probably Chinney – this marks the first time I drew him then!}. I tried my best to bring Robert’s vision to life, he wanted his character in a jiu jitsu fight dominating his enemy – it was my idea to add the ice sword since I wanted to convey he’s an ice warrior, and this is the result. =^.^=

Steven for Robert’s Birthday

This sketch of Steven was drawn by Robert years ago, it was in my sketchbook since my Bros used to borrow my sketchbook to leave me surprise sketches in there, and I recently coloured this late last year. Speaking of Robert, today is his birthday! 🎂🎈 Tonight’s also the Super Moon known as the Snow Moon ❄️🌙, and National Pizza Day which is also what’s for dinner! 🍕😋
