I admit I did kind of miss drawing these three again and with the 3rd anniversary of their debut game (but it- just, just roll with it) and some news regarding that adventure spinoff coming in, I thought I would at least do the occasion. For one thing, I never got to draw their rebel phase during highschool and that image that was meant to go along with the "third junior highschool anthem" (which is pretty funny with either interpretations, did they set off a explosion themselves or someone meaner than them did it and they actually attempted to save the day as a form of redemption or just out of their heart?) from the Bankara walker kept hanging in my mind for a good while. I did manage to have a proper sketch with Lil'Man, but the rest required me to try out different posing since I would risk repeating myself, I feel like I've done all three of them at their "prime" before. Then came the background and I think you get the gist. I initially intended to have the highschool they attended in the background as presented in the image for reference, but then I thought it would be cooler to just have them beat up some bully gangs, even though they're ferocious looking fishes here. The pond is rather small. Oddly enough, I don't feel quite satisfied with how it turned out. I notice Lil'Man's bandana isn't properly shaded and ends blending in with the background. I also feel could've slid in their catchphrase on their shadows in their "handwritten inklish" but I couldn't quite figure how to do it. Weh, I gotta stop complaining sometimes and just go with the "good enough" for now on. Enjoy these has-beens. Give out some comments here if you want to talk about it or even fave it if you like it.

Unfortunately I cannot fit in the description here (it's super lenghty) due to social medias prioritizing text limits, nor I am in the mood to make threads with that chopped in parts.
Took my hand in experimenting by imposing black and white limitations into myself a little bit as well as practicing hatching. Turned out way more better than I expected to the point that I got two versions that where rather quite difficult to decide on posting. Might try out with that style whenever I feel like it.

A small dumb story that had been sitting for a little while until I took upon inking into a short comic that was supposed to be quick breeze until the blackouts occurred for like... three times and due to my laptop's battery dying out this year, I had to go through instances of hoping that I either saved where I left off or for the software itself making a automatic backup. Also count the updates that usually took 10-20 minutes during rebooting. That sure nearly made me lose motivation there. Also female Eight is the star this time. My Eight knows better than to mess with the princess like that. Unless she pulls pranks on him, but it takes more to actually anger him. Enjoy... your day! That's all I have.

Even though I did a minor lore drop about her from "Before the presses came", I never quite settled in on how she would look like and how she would act (although I feel these small blurbs only scratch the surface still despite me pouring the same amount of effort as baking a cake, with icing included). Well, there she is! Besides the grouped in scene shots (should I call these doodle patches? I feel like it rhymes better with "sketches" even though they're not sketchy) the real challenge came from streamlining her outfit, including the colour selection. I wanted her to be just as striking as the blue blur and the fat doc just as well as being as being memorable... as in, being easy to draw. The description provided by the doc was also quite tricky, but I did find some hilarity in parading his "brilliant scientist" speech. You could just tell how long it took me to assemble this together. Weeks. I might provide some more by the time I make some more art with her, but that means I'm gonna need to bounce back to gushing about Sonic again after all these years. Which I sadly don't have the energy yet. But you get the idea. Enjoy the rock admiring blondie. Give out some comments here if you want to talk about it or even fave it if you like it.

Hope no one did this yet because my time and effort that were unnecessarily poured into this would've proven to be futile otherwise. I'm late. I'm telling you that this is a quickie. It was supposed to at least. I was going to make a celebratory art piece in the same manner as the Deep Cut (I personally think that the trailer/direct that mark the first appearance of these characters are the real anniversary dates, corny claim, I know) for Off the Hook (why wouldn't I, they're my personal favourite idol group/ duos here), but another special occasion came to mind that was needed to be acknowledged (although I seemingly forgot to share the artwork about that around here, soon enough, it did get quite popular over there though) so that had to be scrapped... for a little while, as there was the release date of the game to still consider. Until I noticed how Splatoon 2 was released at the same date as Mario Tennis (the N64 one, not the Virtual Boy) and despite being another fairly recognizable Mario spin-off, most people only to seem to take it as Waluigi's birthday or something due to him debuting in that game. And then imagined the purple man in 8's combat outfit (?) and never looked back. It's at least good I've got to draw some Mario again, although unexpected. Then again, I do like unpredictability (maan, I've seen so many people talk about this guy quite a lot, even projects being centered around him back in the day, felt like a fever dream). Splatoon 2 is 8 years old at the time of me stretching the description btw. The background is a recreation of their standard album art, just in purple this time. It just fits everything well enough as well as making the scene rather "grandiose" despite its humorous turn. Anyways, back to vacation!

But seriously, I dreaded about having to draw bikes as a whole just to fill in the drawing's context, especially the trike and having to figure out what Pearl's looks like since it's only mentioned in dialogue text from S2. Really annoying with the way they're structured, even tried to find the easiest one, but at least they turned look good enough with this neat shading style. Never doing that again! The moment I heard about Shiver not owning a driver's license despite her clear fascination with motor based vehicles is just way too funny to not make a drawing like this. Too bad I decided to not join in this time since my Switch Online expired and need to save enough money for things that matter more. (other explanation? got bored) Anyways, vacation!

Just by the very fact that it's Sonic centered and the style used at the time here so it's pretty old by today's standards (watch it get even older once you revisit it 10 years later). Probably serves as some guide of sorts because it's not really related to fan project despite the amount of stuff it has. It really is just something I did for the heck of it (although I do recall being inspired by the actual character sheets from various TV shows used for pitching as well as some of JoeAdok's for his Sonic fan artworks). I remember being so invested in getting each of these characters here despite the simple colouring though. Possibly the first time I've got draw Madonna too if that matters. Actually I recall having my own interpretation on her a while ago yet never got around it. I should probably try to work on it a little bit sometime. Hopefully. Enjoy looking at this relic.

Why is it that everytime I make a simple doodle, I always end up building upon it by adding in a bunch of stuff, even adding a background to begin with. Why can't I just take myself easy for once? Will I every truly get through my perfectionism once and for all? ....at least the image itself looks nice. The chibis are last minute additions. Suppose these would be cleverly used like "comic panels" even though there's very little story, if at all for that matter. Other than that, they're nice decorations. Also been a looong while since I messed around with a coloured lineart. Enjoy Pearl getting... squeezed? That's... not actually something to enjoy. She makes a pretty funny face though.

Further expanding this into a full blown "wallpaper" (it doesn't meet up the apropriate size to fit in for the current day monitor, but you could still technically work around this if you could) thing was not part in the script. The process was slow if you didn't figure out by now. I could only count the times I kept coming back to both add things and polish the said things as I desired. That's not to say that I didn't enjoy doing that at all btw. I'm very much happy with the end results actually coming together when I wasn't certain. As to why I did this... I dunno, I was feeling nostalgic after stumbling upon some images where the stock renders of some characters from various popular series (although it was from Shaman King in my case) would be pasted onto those vortex/web styled backgrounds that have no rhyme or reason other than to make that look cool... and it sure did have an effect on me. I think there are some old fansites or even dA that still has these, you'll just need to look hard enough though. Enjoy having to think about that philosophical question!

For that case, it's a doodle dump with Deep Cut's Frye and Rayman from his titular series in all kinds of shenanigans. I could've of maybe just left the characters coloured, but I know when to actually stop, so I applied backgrounds of sorts to illustrate some of the scenarios better. Some of the ideas are from her, some are from me. There are also references snucked in like usual, although not by a lot. It also seems like I've gotten better at drawing Frye. Even if I did draw her plenty of occasions, she's usually lumped with the other two so it was a nice change pace. Same with Rayman. I do thank Wallop for providing me the references of the guy and yet it seems like I got him nicely on the first try already. He looks cartoony so that's probably the reason. Even with me having not played any of his games yet, but I might if I will. Enjoy these goofballs! And I hope you enjoy this TheWallop-Cat12. It's been fun working on it.

The same good friend at Newgrounds once left a comment on "The beary lash out" like many others art pieces that contained the dialogue that you see here, alluding a Pokemon parody where Maguro would seemingly send Risukuma out to battle. I took a mental note on this fun idea, hoping to myself that I would one day make an illustration out of it... and now it's here! I took me quite a bit to figure out the exact setting that doesn't require too much complication to present this one joke while still being presentable and found the one from the Black and White games to be at least easy to do (and fitting given the timing for both games from their respective franchises). R. K. was intended to wear the Ursaring suit until I thought the one that's Luvdisc themed would be a better fit. Because it's the only pokemon that's heartshaped (even grants an item called "heart scale" that's usually spent for the Move Reminders) and most of Risu's spell names are "love" in different languages. The UI elements are last minute additions, it was a little hard to between the two of them since they do vary between versions. Honestly interesting how dedicated Game Freak once was for adding in even the smallest details. Not like I'm much into Pokemon nowadays, but I do myself revisiting it, at least the older games. Enjoy the battle of the hour! Give out some comments here if you want to talk about it or even fave it if you like it. Puyo Puyo belongs to Compile/Sega. This artwork is made by me.
God, I need to try to draw more, I've been lazing around too much... well, besides the fact that I got food poisoning before I got to work at all and got bedridden for two days. It only has been months since the first in this year. This WAS supposed to be a Mother's Day art piece if could tell by the subtleties, but to no one's surprise, I got late yet again. To be honest though, that happens on different days depending on the region based on my knowledge. Heck, in our motherland, ours falls on Women's Day being 8th march. Although I've seen others state that it's actually 4th may, or 11th? Ehhhhh, just take it as is. The initial plan though? I was going to go for the "so adorable it's funny" approach by having them cosplay as Dragon Ball characters, specifically Bulma and Vegeta since I recall drawing Smollusk with Trunks' little cat hat on. (I'm sure there's a doodle of Pearl wearing the "Bad Girl" shirt somewhere), but went against it because it didn't feel in line with the day itself, and I had trouble choosing any of Bulma's outfits onto Marina's. Most of these just... didn't fit her, I suppose it's the hair (don't take it as the end all be all, I will be revisiting this in one way). Then I found myself doodling out sketches and this is the closest I've gotten. Also the text on the top right corner. It's probably 8 writing this. He may be quiet in my sick delusional fartasies, but he's got his poetry skills intact even though it may not look like much here. You'll still have to translate it though, tehe. (god I haaate how slow the writing speed in this site has gotten, what the heck even causes this??) Enjoy the view!

Got asked to draw the Tankman (specifically the Captain since he's the most well known) after checking the Strawpage due to pure neglect and now sharing it here after after 2 days passed. I took the deal with clear willingness since I do think this man's pretty cool. Just as neat is that it means I can get to draw cities in ruins despite the simple direction here. Not much to say here, the black and white colour schemes always look neat with slight tints of orange. It is a quickie y'know? Enjoy the overkill.

Cleaning was bit of an issue due to certain parts being pressed thanks to the said dialogue boxes, and setting the right levels where quite troublesome as a result. Now I know I might've cheated with the dialogue boxes, but my pencil wouldn't last long enough to carrefully cover the letters, nor does my hand for an otherwise jokey piece, so better take shortcuts. Enjoy the deep cut-tery. (I really suck at this.) Give out some comments here if you want to talk about it or even fave it if you like it. Splatoon belongs to Nintendo. This artwork is made by me.
Is this official though? I don't think I've seen this anywhere before and looks like it's got Kotabe's style down but Mario looks a bit off so it might be fanmade. Feel free to correct me on that though. Please.
Actually took my time to clean that up and set it to the clearest levels in order to be viewable. I had no idea that scanners could be a gamble in terms of quality. It is technically the first time I did this in a while and it's as best as I could get. Enjoy the Switch!

At least each of them have varying levels of quality added to them. The process was pretty slow as you would expect given the current art block. Even arranging the sketches felt a little tiring, but still pretty happy how they've turned out despite all of them looking poorly "stitched" together. (also dA put "looney tunes" as one of the suggested tags, there's nothing wrong with that actually, I'm just happy to see that here despite this batch being completely unrelated to that besides its exagerated chaotic humor) Enjoy my pizza.

Not much to elaborate upon this other than the fact that I believe somebody ought to paint octopuses on eggs due to their funny shape when placed upside down (try to make this into a headcanon, even if it seems pointless). Because all of it is done in a couple of hours, most of the details come out rushed as a result. Granted the perspective and the smaller image size might be just as faulty. I've stumbled myself into art block at the moment (no shock) so things are probably gonna go slow as I try to take a break hoping I could get the spark going. I also might be going back on drawing simpler drawings because of this (speaking of which, I remember that I still got the said drawings from a couple months back that I have yet to share, just gonna need to clean them). Also whoever is holding the Lil'Squirt Egg might be Pearl, but it could also be Eight due to the vague shape of the fingers. Imagiiiiine. Happy Easter!

Realized that the Frye day was actually on 3rd of april and not on 4th as I somehow misremembered (I even shared the day list before, there ARE sure a lot of days in this month looking at it), singlehandedly crushing the joke I just did yesterday about P3arl being a thing. It is a known fact that both have a bitter (sweet?) rivalry ever since the Bankalive concert made that into reality, so this scenario is apropriate enough for this outcome. Charcoal style is making its brief comeback given the simplicity of this drawing which is neat. Charcoal is nice, even though I used stipple and tone tiles for the whole time. heh (no, but it really is a neat drawing tool, I remember doing it once on 6th grade though) The one thing left of note is that I initially intended to write in regular language, but ultimately snuck in inklish again because it's thematic that way. It's the Bubble too, so I hope you'll take that hint to heart when translating this. Happy Frye Day! (don't remind me that I'm too late again because it's Agent 4 day now or whatever, I just went on about how the previous post tired me out just for trying to catch in time before) Give out some comments here if you want to talk about it or even fave it if you like it.

I hope some of you Princess enthusiasts would be well fed for the century by this collage that I put together for like a a week because I would not be pushing myself to make something like this again until like, 2 or 3 years. What would've been a funny Pearl army fanart soon quickly evolved into a "drawing Pearl everyday until Pear1 day starts" process because I needed to lay it down proper... only to not count anymore because I missed it by 3 days since I still had more Pearls to draw individually... actually, I'd argue that it was actually April Fools day, meanwhile P3arl day actually takes place in 3rd april, so you all have been fooled into thinking that you would get art based on that over there from me. (GOT'EM!) Had to compress this fanart by bit to make it friendly enough for the sites. Both for properly loading for posting and viewing (the initial size was bonkers), so I would post each of these Pearls individually in more clear quality, but at this point, I'm taking a gooood rest. Also because I drew them separately, some of them may not be scaled properly if you zoom in a little (just thought about pointing it out for all of you bigger perfectionists than I) Enjoy the Pearls. Also happy P3arl day! I'm sleeping now! Give out some comments here if you want to talk about it or even fave it if you like it. Splatoon belongs to Nintendo. This artwork is made by me.
I've been aching to draw these two in essentially THE best splatfest outfits know to man (besides DC's frostyfest outfits for obvious reasons) and I've eventually found a better place once I remembered I've sketched them playing their instruments based on their first ever splatfest's artworks (and it's certainly not the cake vs ice cream one despite it being a classic, I've left the hints on the piece itself) and they were initially wearing the default performance outfits. Also yes, I still went ahead to snuck in their baby besides them too, I told you I'm mean. Also whoever came up with the idea about Lil'Squirt's favourite music instrument deserves a medal. I was initially going to hold off on posting this for at least 2 days since my favourite Splatfest happens to turn a year old soon, even though this artwork is barely about it at all, but I'm a little too happy about the end results, so there you go. Probably the very first I've succesfully replicated the "traditional" feel since I basically maneuvered my mouse like a pencil. And the filter. Enjoy the listening to their music.

So late for this one to the point that I'm uncertain about counting this as an anniversary piece, but this is really the intention of such a thing like this coming to existence. Put more effort on thickening the lineart since the initial one didn't make the characters stand out enough. I thought I would just simply like the game enough to make a couple of drawings of, but it seems that it too starts to crawl in the back of my brain and stick into it (what did you expect from a cartoon styled platformer that has wild takes). And I already have been fearing about that certain gremlin potentially rivaling the more manic favourites I've once loved to see. Thank you, freebie update. At least I get to go even further with exaggerated... everything maybe. Also they all got thrown in to some game competition to see who would make a better "Noise" if you want context for some reason. Take a guess who came out as the victor. Enjoy the Not-Noises.
