#2 New Ghoul Boi

Looking forward to doing more with Artee in 2024.

#3 Boo got a makeover

#4 Froakie Miku

I had a lot of fun doing this and hope I get the time [and the electric] to digitise this, this year.

...oof.

*I'm currently waiting for new switches for my keyboard, my nine switch is busted so having to do copy paste work arounds if I really need it.

This is one of the most chill, cozy and comfy anime's I have ever watched so instant recommend. my viewing schedule for this was a Sunday morning, on the sofa with a big mug of hot chocolate, I just wanted a light series to help me rest before my busy work weeks.

We meet 15 year old Makoto and adorable black cat Chito, they're moving in with Makoto's aunt, uncle and cousins so she can finish school as a plan B while she completer's her journey as a witch.

I love how there is a blend of real witchcraft mixed in with fantasy and how we see Makoto's life from her own point of view as well as her little cousin Chinatsu's point of veiw. There are a lot of fun moments we get to witness such as Makoto's older sister, Akane, teaching the duo some funny spells and cool places to go.

Like a hidden café that serves any being even a pair of ladybugs! and the most enchanting is towards the end of the series (I shan't spoil it but even I was like wow! and forgot I was only watching an anime XD).

he only down side is it's a short series. the art and attention to detail is amazing and even though we only get to spend a short time with these characters in this world, it has this strange homely feel about it. I wish I could say more without spoiling it but please go check this anime out!

Several reasons:

- Ice Hockey season started back up and I volunteer for the team I support so some months at the weekend I might not be able to actually even sit at my PC let alone turn it on.

- Cost of Living crisis - it's getting colder so my family are using more electricity then before so to help take the pressure off I'm not going on my PC as much. only thing is my PC is the only thing with all the digital art stuff I use. I'll still be writing (I mainly draft all the idea's through my phone on G/Docs then go through it all on my bootleg chromebook)

- october/november I have plans with friends and family as some of them have moved away so we make a point to make the most of the time we do get to spend together.

so no gaps! (I hope!) just a different medium and pace.

I'll be working on this piece next which is my ghoul girls, first thing I'll be doing is adding Boo's eyebrows...what's going on there? XD

If you follow me on twitter (my art account that is), I've recently started sharing the process as not alot of people I know and follow tend to do it, it took some will not to spoil my entry for the challenge but here we go!

So I set everything to fate and put it all in random generators and worked with the overall outcomes, I have to admit I instantly thought 'I naffed up with this!' and utter dread set in! but then I put on my art specs on and was like oh wait, this could actually work!

basically my fakémon had to be a dark jellyfish type. the challenge then came with the pallet, as you can see from my inspo board nothing could really help with this. well I thought there's plenty of Pokémon that LOOK a certain type but are actually a complete different type.

So I wanted my fakémon to bait you in this illusion as well.

I looked for plants and animals that fit this pallet and some mushrooms came up. I thought how funny would it be for a jellyfish/mushroom Pokémon to exist - so I went for it!

you only get to see the top and if you disturb it then it'll attack as part of it's defence mechanism.

As this fakémon had to be dark - find soem dark Pokémon kind of creepy so I added this little rag doll body.

I did think about if this was a evolving Pokémon or not but for a swamp like habitat and the nature of this fakémon I didn't see this one needing a reason to evolve.

Final product:

Jester Demonina - Tempest

Oooh! Jester hasn’t had a proper debut yet so this good!...hopefully! Tagged by MaliceInTheAbyss

~Rules~

1. Post Rules

2. Post 8 Facts about your Character

3. Tag Others

4. Put the Character Name next to the person you tag

1. Jester doesn’t know how to dress things delicately, so you’ll always get an honest answer - sometimes harsher than intended.

2. Jester is sensitive when it comes to family. She can either be a sobbing mess or a raging bull depending how people challenge how she’s related to her brothers - the biggest being “but you don’t even look alike!”

3. Despite her honesty she can be deceptive when necessary, She’ll make sure all attention is on her if it gets her brothers out of trouble.

4. As well as being capable of using magic (and various variations there off), she’s capable of melee combat.

5. Jester is terrible with names and faces and gives everyone a nickname based on one quirky thing about them.

6. Jester and Spencer share a love interest…Spencer just doesn’t know it yet.

7. Jester and Mallord often side with each other being the babies in the family.

8. Jester can’t cook but can make the perfect potion - she burns everything to a crisp.

Now tagging is hard...um...err...If you read this YOU'RE NOW TAGGED!

Totally didn't panic tag at all ...
