Merry Squidmas!

Heya, squidkids!

Sorry for the inactivity. It’s been a tough few months for all of us, and we just wanted you all to know that we’re still here. The AAS! team has been super busy with school, work, and just life in general, so we haven’t been able to produce any content as of late.

That being said, we’re still super grateful for all of your support, and hope you’ll continue to stick around for more shenanigans with AAS!

We might not be able to crank out an illustration this year simply due to time constraints, but we wish you all safe and happy holidays!

Cheers, --Aunt Spoon Staff

Hey Aunt Spoon, what are your thoughts on... sporks? <_<

Happy Valentines Day!

Whether or not you have a Special Someone(s) in mind, don’t forget that love comes in many, many forms other than the romantic. Friends, family, and even yourself - remember to cherish those you hold dear, and celebrate the wonderful bonds you share!

Cheers, -- Aunt Spoon Staff

LIL JUDD!! He looks amazing, cute, and best of all - tasty! <3

Octavio says grey frosting was a too difficult to mix, so hopefully the substitute color suffices…

Submission for @ask-aunt-spoon​ ‘s adorable collab event! Cookie Judd is so cute you could practically eat him…. hm.

also:

there aren’t many thoughts in this art process

Merry Skwidmas, Aunt Spoon!! Hi this is Skwid and she is not good at writing her own name in icing :0 if you see any smudges, it’s likely an obscene doodle she had to remove.....

Calling All Cephalopods! - Squidmas Collab Event!

Hey there, cephalokids~! Squidmas is just around the corner, and we thought we'd give a totally drab year a little flavor by baking cookies! We've set them out to cool for a bit - wanna help us decorate?

What are we doing? Instead of the usual holiday illustration, we thought it might be fun to feature the talents of our wonderful followers! We’ve made some gingerbread cookie bases for everyone to use.

At the end of the event, we’re going to compile as many decorated cookies as we possibly can and feature them in this year’s holiday illustration.

What can we do? > Pretty much anything you want! You can just decorate a cookie, make one of your OC, or even one of your favorite character. Just try to keep the contents safe for work and family-friendly, please!

> You’re also free to make as many as you like! However, in the interest of fairness, please only submit ONE entry.  If you happen to make more than one cookie, we’d love to see all of your wonderful creations. Just make sure to specify which cookie you’d like to enter, first.

Do I have to use the bases provided? > Nope! These bases are just a template; if you feel like you have a better cookie concept, decorate it and send it our way! You’re also free to break the borders of the bases, fiddle with the posing, and draw over the lines.

When is it due? > Wednesday, December 23rd, 9PM Pacific Time (GMT -8)

How do I submit my decorated cookie? > Please send your cookie to us via Submissions and/or tag your post with #squidmascookie and #auntspoonsquidmas.

Okay, got it! Where are the bases? Click the link to download the respective bases. Warning - large files! [ INKLING | OCTOLING | SQUID | OCTO ] Got any examples? Sure do. :> (Courtesy of Frog)

Have fun! We look forward to seeing your entries!

Cheers, --Aunt Spoon Staff

y dont u draw noses??

Hey there, Anon, Teapot here! Honestly, this is purely a stylistic choice, though I guess the nose question has been asked enough times that we should probably put this in the FAQ now.

It’s not that I can’t draw noses; I just chose not to with the AAS! style. Otherwise, I do normally draw them because I actually really like noses, lol.

Removing the nose allows for Aunt Spoon’s signature :> face with squashed and exaggerated facial features. I mostly just like this style because it’s quick and easy to draw, and I have fun doing it. It also gives me a lot of freedom and flexibility when it comes to drawing expressions.

That being said, I feel like I’ve grown an artist ever since starting this blog, and even the AAS! style has changed and developed as I’ve answered more and more asks. I’m not going to add noses to the style for the foreseeable future, but if you guys are interested in my (and/or Mousen’s and Frog’s) regular styled stuff, you can always ask! (It just takes longer to do, for obvious reasons.)

Cheers!
