Been loving your array of gorgeous pieces so far, Twillie!! I have a bundle of sketches from my Feelstober thing. (Debated posting them in 10 day chunks, but got impatient. XD So week by week will do.) Realized pretty quick that I'd rather have them be slightly more pinned down and darker with my mechanical pencil. Still, giving oneself the freedom to be messy is so nice. =D (I might need to do some studies of legs and beards sometime, though. Too many years of drawing characters who are clean shaven with straight-legged pants. xP) I bet I have way more than 31 characters total across all the things I've ever done. We'll see if I end up trying to draw somebody different each day, or if I end up caving in and drawing some more than once. But, this week, 3 NTWF characters, 1 Neopets!Lizica, and 3 characters from my current WIP that's finally making headway. (First time drawing the guy from Day 6, actually! Hopefully you can't see all the eraser ghosts on his face. I can't remember if I've ever laughed while designing a character, but I did with him. He literally took his lab coat and made it the third piece in his three-piece suit, I just can't. XDD Thanks, I hate it (affectionate).)

Thanks Lizica! I love all the expressions you've created so far, especially the fact that you're drawing them full body with little environments and stories to match! I'm also just impressed that you should have enough characters to fill each day of the month with a new one xD I'm excited to see how many I may recognize haha. Still catching up a bit, since yesterday was just my belated Day 7 sketch. I had started a brand new drawing for "Romance," but partway through I knew it would just set me back in time further, so I pivoted and repurposed some old sketches of mine. I did a kiss meme with Twillie and Jonathon a couple years ago, and I still love those sketches, so I thought I'd clean a few of them up and add some design updates to match the Blossoms timeline >w> I'm hoping I can still use my first sketch later on, though, and I spoilered my progress on it so far :3
Day 8: Romance The story here is that Jonathon took her to that little gazebo overlooking the Rainbow Fountain, as I imagine he would have a lot of fun showing her all around Faerieland :3 The poses were giving me grief though, as I wanted to put them close together, but as you can see that puts Jonathon's arm in an awkward spot as he holds Twillie's hand xD I'll figure it out. Day 9: Pets
I originally drew these at work, so this was another sketch cleanup lol. Meowclops have a design that I want to familiarize myself with and enhance the cuteness of, which I feel I accomplished here. None of my characters have a pet Meowclops, but perhaps someday that may change >w>

Finally had some time to draw tonight. So to make up for lost time, I did several prompts at once. I present: pensive Ash with a midnight delivery of carbonated potion. I started with Lizica's prompt for today, Pensive, decided to make it my OC Ash after the initial sketch for OC-tober, I've been intrigued by Rasaiu's "Carbonated Potion" prompt, so I went ahead and made that what Ash was pensive about, and then thew in the moon and stars in a window to show that it's a midnight delivery. Woo!

*cries in another group pic so soon* I didn't give myself much time for this one, so forgive it for the lack of cleanup lol.

Day 11: Meme It's me pretending to know what memes are popular right now! Shoutout to Celes for encouraging the use of this meme in particular xD Not a fan of the low contrast between the figure and background, but I suppose that's just a product of limited time more than anything lol.

Day 12: Inspiration There's a number of things I could draw for this, so I just went with some of my original inspirations! Avatar is what first got me hooked onto drawing, as I'd see my sister draw all the characters so perfectly (in kid!me's eyes), and I wanted to do the same. I remember drawing Yue the most, I think because her intricate details made her a fun challenge. Lady Gaga in general has been a huge influence on my style, especially the Bad Romance music video. Every time I watch it I see more and more little details that I've subconsciously added to my own work, and those huge CGI eyes she has especially stick out. As a kid I didn't even consider the idea of using CGI on real life footage, so for the longest time I wondered how she pulled off the effect. I remember wondering if the eyes could be some kind of prosthetic, and I'd always watch for those scenes and become fixated on them. Might've had some kind of influence on my tendency to draw giant eyes now xD I can give similar credit to the animated film, Felidae (beware if you look it up, as it's a very gory film and google images likes to show its worst scenes top of the page). I drew cats for a few years before gaining the courage to try humans, and around that time I discovered Felidae, so naturally I often used it for reference. The cats also had this large, almond-shaped eyes that I found fun to draw, so I carried that shape over to humans once I started drawing them. So really what this sketch ended up with was a bunch of big stare-y eyes xD

Day 12: InspirationsLook the fact I am drawing at all is Inspiration in itself. Anyway, a quick scribbly Hexaline. She had to improvise a play a couple sessions back, her and her bestie really needed that inspiration- and me and the other rper too ooc since we had to improv a small play for it! The mask is based on one I wore irl while acting out the play.

Day 13: Palette Felt good having more freedom to draw what I want! I could’ve rendered this one out some more, but I do still enjoy the shapes and composition of it all.

I decided to take Friday off, so I'm a bit behind on these and will hopefully catch up by tomorrow. For now, yesterday's prompt: Sona! Gave Gibi a poke-sona, and this is my first time trying to capture the trainer fashion style, so hopefully I succeeded xD I also picked out her team and wanted to draw them with her, but that would've taken too much time, so instead I've pasted them all in lol. I know nothing about how to create an actually balanced team, so I chose Pokemon instead that just fit her thematically. Feel free to let me know how actually practical this team would be were you to actually fight with them xD
(and yes i know one of them is a legendary and probably not a reasonable pokemon to choose, but I wanted one to represent the Moon, so of course I had to go with the most powerful of all the lunar-themed pokemon xD)

Got some more Feelstober sketches. ^^ I'm having a real good time doing these and seeing what you all are doing! =DD (Also, I'm definitely gonna draw somebody new each prompt. xD We're goin' in, gang, through some of the Lizica deep archiiiiiiiiives~) Me: Hmm, not sure who I should draw for "Amorous." Even my characters who've had super minor romance arcs I have a hard time picturing as ""amorous."" Brain: ... *whisper* Webster >D Me: ... Me: ... Me: dear sweet Woo xD ...Uhhh, anyway! So, this week we have: 3 NTWF characters, 1 Neopet, 2 characters from very old stories (one from high school, one from college), 1 character I made for an animation class project, and 1 character from my very first online RP (started back in 2003). (I realized that "worried" is similar to "anxious," and after some brainstorming, added/changed it to "jealous." I'm thinking of doing the same thing when I get to "incredulous," since it's sorta close to "indignant," and add/swap it with "mirthful.") Current tally of things I'll do studies of later: Legs, beards, draping cloth, more elbows

I haven't done Saturday's prompt yet, but I finished today's at least: I figured "Kitchen" could be a good excuse to revisit this wip that I set aside however long ago. An unfortunate thing happened to the original wherein I lost its layers, making any further progress on it more difficult than it needed to be. Thought I'd just give it new line art, and maybe I'll try and color it again.

*flings another week of Feelstober stuff at you* Let's see, let's see... If you count the three tiny characters reacting to Day 19, and also count Verso & Recto as two, this week we have: 4 NTWF characters, 3 characters from two different middle school stories, 2 characters from the old high school story, 1 character from ye olde Lizica's first RP, and 1 character from my current WIP. (Part of me feels like this daily challenge is just me showing off the army of characters I've accumulated over the years. X'D) Anyway, *points to Day 19 Maniacal* It was steep competition, but I ended up wanting to give it to the legend herself, Miss Ekilsid. x3 I've never drawn her before, because Storybook Weaver Deluxe had its own character art models. ((If in the future, someone ever interviews me about writing and such, I sometimes imagine having a suuuuper awkward conversation that's like, Interviewer: So, I understand that writing has been a hobby of yours for some time. How did you first get into it? Me: Well, one of my teachers in middle school sort of inspired me. Interviewer: Wow! Your teacher must have been really amazing, to nurture that love of writing! Me: ......Uhhhhhhhhhhhh actually, I really disliked the teacher, so I wrote a story where a bunch of students banded together to expose their teacher as evil. Interviewer: .... Me: .... Interviewer: *quietly erases something on their notepad*)) Anyway, only a little over a week left now! Go go, everyone! \ o /

Third week I took a break, but I couldn't get back in the daily drawing habit after that, so I thought to at least combine most of this past week's prompts into one group picture, with each prompt turning into a Halloween costume. I won't have a finished product by this month's end, but I can still share what I have now at least, perhaps xD
Sketches these at work, so now they need some cleanup, lines, and color. Twillie is a ghost, Zathandria a witch, Cherry dressed as Illusen (for the "autumn" prompt), and Jonathon a vampire <3

Little belated, but I've finally finished siccing my ToT characters on other forumers gotten some time to scan and share these! Have a two-page Feelstober wrap-up! I think this is, like, the first time I've ever managed to finish a month of art prompts more or less on time?? XDD Turns out looser/forgiving single-figure pencil drawings were just the right level of time commitment for me that even when I fell behind a day or two, it was still doable to catch up. I didn't do my extra challenge of making my prompt list into a fancy graphic, but I'm still happy with that, because just doing the prompts themselves helped me see which words were more on the redundant side and could be swapped with something else. Anyway, enough rambles, moar drawings \ o / Last couple weeks, we have: 5 NTWF characters, 2 Neopets, 3 characters from my old college-era story, 1 character from my current WIP, and 1 me. =D I HavE a lOT oF ChARAcTeRS, OkaY
...Anyway, this challenge was actually really good just to give myself permission to draw something fun and low stakes-feeling, and it also let me say hi to characters I haven't visited in ages, as well as getting me to better solidify designs for newer characters. =D So, I had a good time with them, and hopefully you all enjoyed some of them, too. ^^ (Also, special extra shoutout to Rasaiu and June for drawing some of my emotion prompts in the past! Thank you for trying it. <3)
