Art go brrr, hand go owie.

Probably should've adjusted the face, particularly the mouth, to fit the rest of the drawing... but I've been working on this for hours and probably won't touch it again haha.

Super late follow-up to the above: I scrubbed my plush in the sink & hung him out to dry. He’s fine now, though my Sun plush was almost collateral damage too when I was cleaning up.

So. My cat threw up on my Moon plush yesterday. He got a bath after.

Just wanted to throw this up b/c I don't think I'm gonna spend much time cleaning it up.

Top two pics are my personal interpretations of the four Mini Music Men

Chord - Patrols the Parts & Service vent. Daycare simp, but especially a fan of Moon. Will play a music box version of the Daycare theme from time to time. Scared of Freddy, due to Parts & Service repairs. Group baby. Has bells & a ribbon tied on their hat. Name based on computer cords/musical chords/Moon’s cord that he uses to fly.

Gig -  Patrols the vent behind the greenrooms on Rockstar Row. Freddy fan. Scared of Monty, due to room thrashing behavior. Responsible & trustworthy. Likes people watching. Has a light blue bowtie tied around their neck. Name based on Gigabyte/a musical ‘gig’.

Chip - Patrols the Salads & Sides vent leading down to the kitchen. Is a Chica fan & wants to know what it’s like to eat food. Excitable. Has a pink hair bow tied on their hat. Name based on computer chip/chiptune/potato chip.

Coda - Patrols the East Arcade/Prize Counter vent. Is a Monty & Roxy sympathizer. Overall chill. Loves plushes & will hoard merch. Has Monty style sunglasses. Name based on computer code/a musical coda.

Next three are a prompt from @avidoro - Sun and Moon driving their go-karts, plus detail shots of them both. Of course, Moon is being a doof & driving in the wackiest way he can imagine. Sun is scrunched, but driving responsibly.

The last two of my drawings for the platonic DCA prompt list by @bloo-the-dragon​​. I mostly just focused on Sun & Moon in generic situations, so as to keep to the schedule, not burn myself out, & actually finish. Sun’s prompts are odd numbered, Moon’s are even, though these last two break that precedent a bit.

These ones require a slight bit more explanation than the rest.

29 - Confession. I was stumped for what to do on this one. It’s hard to draw a verbal confession, and I didn’t want to make a complicated scene. Ended up asking my wife, who suggested drawing a scene from an RP where Vanessa confesses to Moon about past abuse in her life. He is... concerned for her, to say the least. 30 - Family. Most all the Pizzaplez, sans some redundant STAFF bots, endos, the Blob, and Peepaw Willy. Based off a Wreck-it Ralph style AU where the game is just everyone’s job and they’re free to live their own lives after hours. Also, Sun & Moon are separate, based on the fact that you can run back to the Daycare & have Sun pop out of the slide while Moon is chasing you. Additionally, the four mini Music Men from the different vents are unique characters and have accessories & names to tell them apart. Probably should’ve darkened a number of lines, especially on DJ, but I was just glad to finish this thing. Especially since I was drawing so small.

And that’s it! I’ll go back & edit links to the other posts once my queue spits them all out.

Week 4 of my drawings for the platonic DCA prompt list by @bloo-the-dragon​​. I mostly just focused on Sun & Moon in generic situations, so as to keep to the schedule, not burn myself out, & actually finish. Sun’s prompts are odd numbered, Moon’s are even.  

22 - Googly Eyes. C’mon. He totally WOULD stick giant googly eyes on himself. Sun already has the supplies. Why not? 23 - Sick Day. Even robots get burnt out from time to time. 24 - Dinner. Gotta make sure you’re getting 3 meals a day! 25 - Story Time. Everyone likes puppet shows! ... Right? 26 - Sleep. You... probably shouldn’t take that Moondrop candy... 27 - Arson. WHO GAVE THE BABY ACCESS TO FIRE?! 28 - Trust. What? Are you scared of heights? He won’t drop you! You trust your good old pal Moony, right?

Week 3 of my drawings for the platonic DCA prompt list by @bloo-the-dragon​​. I mostly just focused on Sun & Moon in generic situations, so as to keep to the schedule, not burn myself out, & actually finish. Sun’s prompts are odd numbered, Moon’s are even.

15 - Prank. This is, by far, my weakest idea for a prompt, as well as my worst execution imo. Couldn’t think of anything better though, so Sun gets to be startled by a sudden fart noise. 16 - Dress Up. With winter on the brain, I couldn’t resist drawing Moony in a fluffy, cozy lined jacket with a matching capelet! Would totally love that thing for myself, ngl. 17 -  Swim. Sunny in swim gear, skinny legs, crocs & all! Doubt they’d attempt to swim on their own, outside the common mermaid AUs, but he can still supervise the kiddos! 18 -  Gym Jesters. They stretch!! I’ve drawn these guys in so many bendy poses it’s ridiculous. The sweatbands do add a bit of humor, though. I know a good number of y’all go nuts over bald Moon, haha! 19 - Bug Hunting. He just thinks they’re neat!! I love the little hat I gave him. He looks so cute with all those buggos! 20 - Gaming. ... Yeah. I don’t think this one needs an explanation, does it? Partially inspired by @paper-lilypie’s drawings as well!  21 - Domestic. Sun would absolutely love cooking once he gets the hang of it. All the better to take care of his loved ones with!

Week 2 of my drawings for the platonic DCA prompt list by @bloo-the-dragon​. I mostly just focused on Sun & Moon in generic situations, so as to keep to the schedule, not burn myself out, & actually finish. Sun’s prompts are odd numbered, Moon’s are even.

8 - Kiss. The kids definitely kissed them once or twice. I wonder how they reacted the first time, though... (That semi-self-insert-slash-Y/N again) 9 - Haunted. Didn’t want to get too carried away drawing ghosts, bodies, & whatever else. Plus, it was a Sun day, so I decided to go with the threat of virus-infected Moon hovering over his shoulder instead of a literal haunting. 10 - Fantasy. Story time with Moony!! 11 - Catboys. ... The meme potential is all I could think about with this one... 12 - Angst. He misses them... 13 - Arts & Crafts. Sunny always comes prepared! 14 - Cuddle. Return of the insert-slash-Y/N. I think all of us Daycare stans could probably use a good, long hug while you doze in a loved one’s arms, yeah...?

Week 1 of my drawings for the platonic DCA prompt list by @bloo-the-dragon. I mostly just focused on Sun & Moon in generic situations, so as to keep to the schedule, not burn myself out, & actually finish. Sun’s prompts are odd numbered, Moon’s are even.

I did so good at doing these prompts relatively on time... I stuck through it all month, drawing on my 15 min breaks at work... Proud of myself for that, even if I did cram the weekend prompts into Mon-Fri. Plus, I think I developed a pretty good, simplified sketch style for the boys!

1 - Morning after Halloween. Sun is 100% the type of person to gush over costumes and hang up pictures. He probably has collections of pictures, or at least digital files in his memory 2 - Autumn. A post-fire/otherwise outside-the-Pizzaplex moment. They’ve probably never seen a real fall leaf before. Those pretty, pretty colors... They’re definitely missing out. 3 - Hug. Offer of a comfort hug!! 4 - Broken. ... How ‘bout them STAFF bots in their room? 5 - Parental/Caretaker. Semi-self-insert. Can also be Y/N. Just Sun being wholesome and 100% dad material. 6 - Space. I love love LOVE the starry aesthetic of the Daycare. I think it would actually be nice to hang out in with the lights dark and everything quiet. But there’s no way Moon HASN’T pretended he’s flying through space, even once. 7 - Dragons. Sun would SO be into playing as a knight in shining armor. You can’t convince me otherwise. And making a Monty plush the dragon was a no-brainer. There’s so many fics/art pieces out there that have him & the Daycare boys clashing, plus he’s already a big ol’ lizard!

This is my art done for the 10 Years of Wrecking event last month, in celebration of Wreck-it Ralph’s 10 year anniversary! I’m suuuper late posting this, but I promise I did... most of these on time. I did good with weeks 1-4, okay?! Besides, it’s kinda poetic to have this post today, considering my wife @turbomun & I first spoke on Dec 23, 2012. 

Week 1 - Felix & Ralph. Week 2 - Ralph & Vanellope Week 3 - Hero’s Cuties Week 4 - the Core Four Week 5 - Free space, turned into Ghostboy! Turbo week, in honor of the fanfic that changed my life forever!

Not entirely satisfied - could use some tweaks here & there. Ralph’s hair always gave me trouble, facial proportions are off here & there, Sarge’s eyes are a bit too big... But overall, I’m satisfied. Especially since I was drawing A LOT through November. 

Thank you, @bashfulgnome, @sgtcalhouns, and @ask-icancraft-it for the prompts & acknowledgement of this wonderful movie!

Some of my favorite Daycare OCs I’ve seen around Tumblr... Plus my boy, of course, wondering why he doesn’t get as cool a design haha.

Twinkling Star belongs to @curiousechoo. Love the aesthetic on this boy, plus the poster they drew to match Sun & Moon is absolutely amazing.

Puff belongs to @linkerbell and is the child of vurelly‘s Cosmo and starlightcloudbaby‘s Cloud. Cosmo is one of my favorites, & I’ve drawn him before, but there’s something really precious about Puff’s design that I love. Maybe it’s the way one of her eyes is hidden in the cloud, or maybe it’s the capelet. Either way, adorable.

Edit: I have been informed that I’ve made an error. Puff is ACTUALLY the child of @vurelly‘s Roto and @oriiduckko‘s Tear. Whoops!

Starlet belongs to @saltyfryz. Baby. Baby baby baby. Could totally see, like... 3-5 of these little guys running around the Daycare as playmates for the toddlers.

Twinkle belongs to @ihavenohotcocoa. Very motherly vibe. You don’t get many female Daycare OCs, funny enough. Even the ones that look feminine, like Cloud or fan-favorite Blommy (who I still have to draw) are he/him. There’s also an elegance in the simplicity of her design that I like, but it’s also streamlined to the point of being borderline futuristic. Reminds me of all those 80′s/90′s movies speculating what the future would be like.

And of course, my boy Star. Looks so basic compared to everyone else here, haha. I still love him, & my reasoning for his design is still something I’m proud of. If I had to rework him though, I’d probably change the face I gave him. It makes him look much more in line with Sun & Moon, as he’s meant to be a prototype of them, but it feels a little off with the star shape. Oh well - I don’t think I could think of anything better without taking cues from other Daycare OCs, and in a way, his current face still makes a lot of sense.

[rafedraws]

I’m really satisfied with the design I settled on for Sun & Moon. Not really mainstream, & not biblically accurate, but I think I hit a sweet spot.

Of course, everything comes back to Pokemon... Some hand practice in there as well, plus trying to adjust the way I drew their face (I think I’ll stick with what I’ve established. Also, my first attempts at an Eclipse. The four arms people like to slap on Eclipse is interesting, but I see no reasoning behind it besides looking cool. Which is totally valid! I just wanna have more justification to changing a canon(-ish?) character’s design, haha. I’ll just stick to creepy poses, thanks!

So. My cat threw up on my Moon plush yesterday. He got a bath after.

Just wanted to throw this up b/c I don't think I'm gonna spend much time cleaning it up.

[rafedraws]

Happy (belated...) birthday, @sparklermun!!! Maca dropped by for the festivities!

[rafedraws]

He is... so shaped...

Cosmo belongs to @vurelly!

Had some trouble drawing that outstretched hand. I erased & went over it so many times that the paper was starting to tear! Kinda fitting with Cosmo's uncontrollable strength. You can just barely see the tape I slapped over it when I decided it was good enough. Would like to edit that thumb a little though... Oh well. Maybe if I ever finish it digitally.
