The (Brief) Metahistory of Ben-Gal

Yet another instagram request. Bengal hasn't gone through much change because PH development is pretty recent. But still, good to keep an archive of these things.

Note that Powerhouse is a comic in the works so obviously I can't share every detail about certain plot points because where's the fun in that?

Let's a go!

CREATION: 19th September 2020

Figure 1. First drawing (19th September 2020) | Figure 2. Second drawing (23rd September 2020) | Figure 3. Third drawing (30th September 2020)

Before he was Bengal, he was my AMONG US SONA!!!!!!!!!!!! Also Powerhouse didn't exist yet. That's it.

A NEW NAME AND A NEW STORY: 6th December 2020

Figure 3. Bengal concept art (6th December 2020)

Now he was no longer a sona, but alive! His story (aka Powerhouse) was called Orbital Immolation at this time. You can see he is quite scrawny and scared. The story was pretty consistent to what it is now, being that he escaped from his work prison and is trying to find his way back to his family and sister, Grizel. Kasper was created around this time too. Since this is a post about Bengal, I'm not going to go the extra mile of mentioning other PH characters (unless someone wants that) despite being made the same time, because I'm tired. More Orbital Immolation art (with Bengal in it) below.

Not dating these individually but they were from December 2020 to June 2021, in order of creation.

By the way, it was called Orbital Immolation because I had the idea to make Bengal blow himself up to save the world in the end of it, hence, Immolation. At this time, I also had an idea for a sequel that would center around Grizel in the future still grieving over Bengal, as you can see in that picture with her and Robot Bengal.

In the 7th picture, there is a cat-looking girl. She was supposed to be Kasper's niece trying to avenge him after Bengal killed him. I don't remember exactly when I decided Kasper was a robot, but at that time he probably wasn't one because he had a niece. Or she was a robot created by a sister company of Kasper’s engineers, hence making her a cousin? Idk. Also you can see Cain in the 5th picture!

Also back then, Bengal was aroace.

From Bengal's toyhouse page (roughly December 2020):

"Bengal is a worker for MADA Space Corp, a prison-like space station floating in the middle of Mezuno. He boarded the ship when he was 16 to make money for his sickly mother, as well as provide tuition funding for his sister, Grizel, so she doesn't have to end up like him, rotting in manual labour. Bengal would describe himself as hardworking, nimble, and expendable. He has had the same routine for 12 years hoping his effort has paid off and that there may be a slight possibility he could return to his home planet. Little does he know, Isari had been destroyed for 2 years now, along with its culture and inhabitants. The only Isarians alive now are either refugees or had migrated to different planets before its destruction."

Interesting part about his planet, which probably isn't still canon. I had forgotten about that.

POWERHOUSE: 19th October 2021

Figure 4. First Powerhouse poster | Figure 5. First Powerhouse poster (sketch), both 19/10/21. A day before my birthday!

Here was when I decided to change the name of the comic because Orbital Immolation was Not Catchy. By now I had established the role of Reckoners in the story and wanted a technology-related title that also reflects something about our protagonist. I had 2 ideas for names: 1. Live Wire, and 2. Powerhouse. My lovely oomf helped me choose, so you have her to thank. Imagine calling it Live Wire.

Besides a bit of a personality change (he's silly now) and a workout, that's about all that's different from modern PH. I told you it was brief. Let's just look at the evolution of Bengal illustrations to finish this off.

Ohhh they grow up so fast.

Bye!

Evolution of Avieon, my Flying Type Eeveelution Fakémon (2013-2020 onwards)

I thought this would be interesting to share, but ever since my early days as a Pokémon fan, I've had this one Pokémon I completely made from scratch. I kept continuously drawing her and over the years her design has been altered over and over again until I finally found one I was satisfied with. So I thought I'd dig out all those old drawings and share them on here.

Avieon: Version 1 (2013-August 2015)

Here we are, the first time Avieon was ever put to paper... or, digital paper. The design was already in my head in 2013, I just made a shitty drawing of it in Pokémon Art Academy that I posted on Miiverse in 2015. As you can see, she's pure fanservice. She has to be cute and pink, this was 2013. I love cute and pink. She has a Flareon-esque cloud shaped forehead and neck fluff and mouth shape, purple eyes, wavy shaped ears, blue wings and a raccoon tail (that I forgot to colour in fully). Why a raccoon tail? Well, the tail is the most interesting part. It's meant to resemble one of these:

A wind sock! The lore explanation I came up with for why Avieon's tail looks like a wind sock is that because it's hollow like a wind sock, that makes her fly faster. Or something. I dunno, I thought I was being clever.

Avieon: Version 2 (November 2015)

Woah. Good god, what was I thinking. The very defintion of the UPGRADE. FUCK, GO BACK meme. Like, what is this, past me??? Avieon has been fully Flareon-ized, now having a cloud shaped fluffy tail. Her wings and ears are pinkish purple now for some reason and she has stars in her eyes. Her ears are just... boring now. With brown insides. Just... what the hell, past me. No wonder I redesigned this one.

Avieon: Version 3 (April 2016)

Ooh, now THAT'S more like it. Her eyes are more detailed, her wings are blue, her ears are back to matching her head colour, now with purple cloud shaped insides. Now her mouth is shaped like the later Eeveelutions as opposed to the Vaporeon/Jolteon/Flareon cat smile she had earlier. And this time, she has little clouds around her paws and little fangs like Umbreon and Sylveon. Very cute.

Avieon: Version 3.5 (early 2017, idk)

An old sketch from a notebook, not from Miiverse which is why I can't pin a date to it. Basically the same thing, except I was experimenting with a different forehead puff shape since I wasn't satisfied with the cloud. It's a swirl now. Very fancy. And we're back to cat smile.

Avieon: Version 4 (March 2017)

Basically a redraw of Version 3, but with a slightly different tail shape. Also, I found a head puff shape I actually liked. Now we're back to Sylveon mouth shape.

Avieon: Version 5 (June 2017)

MAMMA MIA, A TOTAL DESIGN OVERHAUL. And a really BAD DRAWING. This was the point where I realised that Avieon looked too much like Flareon and I wanted to set her apart. She swaps from Flareon's chubby short legged body shape to a more slender Espeon/Sylveon body shape. Version 5 introduces features that stayed for the final version: the three pointed head puff, the wing shaped ears (though they're more rounder later) THE RETURN OF WIND SOCK TAIL, and the cheek fluff. I wanted more Eeveelutions with cheek fluff like Espeon.

She also has Leafeon/Glaceon/Sylveon boots but purple coloured and the clouds got reduced to frills. And yes, lets talk about the elephant in the room. I gave her plane parts for some reason. A propeller shaped Sylveon bow and tail fins. She also has purple wings now instead of blue.

Avieon: Version 5.5 (August 2017-2020)

And so, Avieon stayed like this for a while. A Sylveon shaped Eeveelution with wing shaped ears with purple insides, a white three pointed head puff, purple eyes, cheek fluff. Once again we return to the Vaporeon/Jolteon/Flareon cat smile mouth shape (I keep alternating.) She has purple wings, this time with white feathers on the inside, purple Leafeon/Glaceon/Sylveon boots with white frills, a wind sock inspired raccoon tail, and purple tail fins and a white and blue Sylveon style bow. The end? Not quite.

Avieon: Final Version (Some time in 2020 and onwards)

SUPRISE, WE WENT BACK TO INSPIRATION FROM VERSION 3. Now she has a chubby, short legged Flareon body shape again, and the cloud neck fluff and cloud ankle fluff is back! I realised "We need more Eeveelutions with neck fluff like the Gen 1 Eeveelutions", and voila. It is done. See what I mean about the rounder edges on her ears? Forehead fluff and cheek fluff are also rounder. And the beloved wind sock tail from all the way back in 2013 is still here. This time it's only like a wind sock in appearance. It's not hollow. I couldn't figure out the logic with that. And I completely got rid of the plane features because I thought they looked tacky and out of place. Cat smile is here to stay. :3 As for the Umbreon/Sylveon fangs...? IDK, I guess I just forgot about them?? Maybe they're still in there???

(ignore the blue and white scarf, that's just there because it was a drawing for Pokémon Mystery Dungeon)

Thank you for joining me on my trip down the memory lane of questionable design choices.

Bonus: NOOOOO DON'T TURN ME INTO A NON MARKETABLE PLUSHIE-

[twilightvolt]

And so, another year has come to pass.....almost. ^  ^

Remember when i said i was branching away from Digimon back when i drew up Venom fanart? y’know, “I wanted to be more than what i used to be.” that being “a Digimon artist.”

2019 was basically just that. lots and lots and LOTS of fandom hopping.

If last year was me recovering from the pain and crippling anxiety of 2017, then this year was me finally getting up again, learning to stand up and live for myself rather than in fear of those i shouldn’t care about anymore. life still hasn’t been too kind to me even though, compared to last year, we’re in a better space. but i’ll get into more detail about that while i go through everything month by month on the clock.

Before we begin, if you’d like to see the previous years, here’s the links!

2018:https://twilightvolt.tumblr.com/post/181732950569/i-kinda-was-saving-this-for-when-i-had-the-time-to

2017:https://twilightvolt.tumblr.com/post/171806337539/a-3-month-late-art-summary-featuring-art-that-i

Might wanna grab your popcorn, my dudes. this is a long one.

January: On the Web

Coming out of 2018, things were pretty ok if i remember. i don’t remember much from this month aside from a few doodles i did like this one from when Spiderverse was the hottest thing. this was one of the last things i drew in my old style. before i decided to officially change things up in the next month.

February: Gotta Kick it Up

Pokemon Sword & Shield were announced and things were hype! oh, how things soured as the months went by. lol

But yeah, this was me taking that experimental sketchy pencil style from that Smash Bros. drawing and rolling with it all the way! it’s become my new go-to style and even though it’s still hella sketchy at times, i feel like it looks better in comparison to my old ink outlined drawings.

March: The Overdrive Dweebanoids

Oh right. my old Ben 10 phase that lasted for a millisecond in 2016 returned with a vengeance. and it was glorious. lmao

It spawned an AU that i didn’t delve into much, but if i ever get that spark for my favorite alien watch bearer, i’ll get back to it.

April: True Blue Lizard Bois

My Ben 10 streak continues and i was crankin’ out art left and right for it. i luved all the “doodle dumps” i made, but this drawing was wholesome and i picked it because of that.

To some extent, this could be a comparison between my past and my present. that being Overdrive!Ben being what, at the time, was my current obsession while Digimon!Vivi was a representation of where i used to be, back when i was starting out and entering Digimon OCTs on Deviantart.

May: Return to the Realm of Sleep ~HD ReMIX

Now THIS i feel was one of the grandest drawings i’ve done this year. hell, i even made a wallpaper out of it.

like, it was just a redraw of an old drawing from 2017. but to me, it was a way to tell me just how far i’ve come since then. and i couldn’t be happier.

This was also the month i rebooted my DA after a long time of inactivity!

....Iiiit didn’t really work much, but i’m still working on it. though i highly doubt it’s worth it considering most of the ones i used to hang with there are either people i don’t wanna associate with or people who left while i was gone. seriously, it’s a ghost town there.

June: Art Fight 2019 ~Dreams Vs. Nightmares~

Ahh, my second year of Art Fight. for this year’s event, i wanted to be a tad more grandiose. like drawing up this banner. i like being extra and stuff even if it kills my drawing hand, so yeah. lmao

...

Florida thunderstorms are friggin’ terrifying. idk HOW anyone can get used to that.

July: - BREAK DOWN -

Oookay, it was hard picking my favorite attack this year cuz i pretty much was satisfied with all of them. but i had to go with this attack because the artist i drew it for was someone i really admired for years and i’m just happy i could finally have an opportunity to draw them something. like, i luv how it came out, so yeah.

This was also the month i forced myself to finally do the thing and let go of the constant fear i felt towards certain people i used to hang with. while remembering 2017 will never NOT hurt, i can’t let that fear rule over me forever. i have to take control and not let it stop me from doing what i want. and that’s exactly what i did.

August: Ricky ~Sapphire, Emerald and AlphaSapphire

Oh yeah! after Art Fight ended, i returned to Pokemon randomly cuz i wanted to go back to my roots for a moment. revamping Ricky, formerly Ragna, and Yagami was something i’ve been meaning to do for awhile and it reignited a waning love for a series i started growing distant towards since Gen VII.

I used to really like Ricky’s old design even though i barely ever used him. but i guess this just shows how much more original i’ve gotten in terms of character design. ^  ^

September: Heartbeat Inferno

Now, i haven’t really talked much about what’s been going on life wise for most of this post, but trust me when i say irl, things weren’t really.....happening. like, it’s hard when you live (or rather, lived now) in a place with little job opportunity and you have NO experience whatsoever. the lack of progression must’ve hit something in me, so the week i drew this was me just....shifting moods, feeling everything at once. one day i’d be agitated as hell, the next i’d be so depressed i took a some odd hour nap and didn’t wanna get out of bed. like, for most of this year, i haven’t felt this stressed out and frustrated with myself. so this sudden crash was kind of....unwelcome.

But this drawing was a fresh change though, if i’m being honest. i’m not usually this uncaring about how clean the coloring job is, but i like it! i’d choose that other drawing i did for my friends’ birthdays, Skirmish at the Cable Club, but this one had a more personal drive behind it.

October: - PAPERMOON -

beastarsbeastarsbeASTARSBEASTARS--*COUGH COUGH AHEM* I MEAN....hai. :D

Continuing with my Pokemon shenanigans, i drew this big piece which was something i had in my head for years now, but never actually acted upon it cuz i always felt it was too big of an idea to work on. i’m happy i’ve managed to capture what i envisioned originally.

As for interests, i’m sure most of my current followers can deduce that i quickly shifted gears to Beastars as soon as the anime was released and so far, i regret nothing. it’s spawned a metric butt ton of new art from me and the way i see it, this phase ain’t stopping as long as this series continues. brace yourselves fam, i believe i’ve finally found the successor to my Digimon phase. lmao

Like, damn, i had a tough time choosing art for this month. i was stuck between this, - SMILE/WILD SIDE - and Slip Into Madness. so many good drawings i was satisfied with, y’know?

November: The Future is Now

I was SO planning on putting something else here, but then suddenly i just kinda had this urge to redraw that uggo gouache painting of Miyagi from highschool. and it turned out so good that i had to. like, really. lmao

As with the redraw of Dream Drop Digital’s key art, it was a reminder of how far i’ve come since then art wise. and i feel like i’ve accomplished so much this year because of it. ;w;

December: Winter Lights

And now we’re back to the present time. after over a year or so of living in Florida, we’ve moved once again back up north a bit. yet another clean slate, but things seem to be looking up despite the rather large bumps in the road the past week or so. lately i’ve been feeling that seasonal depression starting to set in, but i think i’ll be fine as long as i stay positive. cuz y’know, it’s not being happy all the time. it’s just knowing that things will get better someday.

One of the other reasons i drew this drawing was cuz i REALLY wanted to have something Beastars related on this clock. this series (and Legoshi in particular) really inspired me, so i had to leave a wedge open for my boi.

Looking back at the beginning of this decade (as 2020 would mark the next one), i realized that the 2010′s were basically me becoming more artsy. finding enjoyment for a new hobby that quickly became something i’m now more passionate about than video games which i didn’t think would EVER be the case.

Funny enough, it all started in the RP section of a little forum for an MMO called Wizard101. i was only in middle school at the time and, to tell you the truth, i had no idea i’d be going at it for this long. thought i’d just do it on the side but not really delve into the art world more.

But despite all the trips and falls, fandom drama or otherwise, i wouldn’t change anything if it meant i wouldn’t have the friends who’ve stuck by me in the aftermath of those times.

I may not be really succeeding in much, but it’s the small steps in life that matter most in the end. these past few months in particular was me getting fed up with feeling sorry for myself for not doing the things i was interested in in the past, getting over my regret and making plans for starting something new even though i know i’ll suck at first and not worrying so much about how others might perceive me.

And just like how life was changing for our resident grey wolf this first season, mine seems to be doing the same. and i believe this decade ended on a better note than i thought it would during the past couple years leading up to this.

Here’s to a new decade! ^  ^

~ For a future I want to believe in. ~

[axayt-thenightsoul-fox]

Hey i got a question What made you start this whole drawing thing?

Well... I wanted to answer this ask today cuz heh ik is a stupid milestone but idek what will happen in the future so...

2 years (and a month) ago i started my tumblr account (though i like tumblr more than Deviant Art cuz of Asks thingy and plus that was was getting annoying every time i tried post something on D.A. Idek why) so this question is really something..

I used to be a gaming kind of kid with no social skills and only gaming friends, my English was just basic (enough to talk and maybe swear -. _-.) so when my pc got weak for the games that got constantly updated.. I had no choice then to stop playing tf2 and other games like that.. Making me lose interest (and before anything! I gotta say! I hated drawing! Cuz well i saw it boring and cuz i had no inspiration).. So since fnaf series was at it's forth game, gotta say i tried making my oc without drawing him and i managed to! First was on a Minecraft server

Back then i was just making uhh cringe drawing of fnaf characters in high school (actually i wasn't in high school when i done the building in mc of my "oc") and trying to fuse nightmare foxy.. With hhh every other oc like foxy with chica but no gradient sometimes like lego i don't know where the drawings are but if you guys wanna see, i will try find em. Well after lots of playing on Minecraft and many days of just watching YouTube gamers, with a month before i entered grade 8 (like june? August? Ik it shows down on my profile roblox the date i created the account) i started playing roblox! And first game on there was Vampire hunters 2 and was so fun! There i met Mangle! Who given me a funny moment xD she thought i was a boy (cuz mostly i pretend to be one in games) and was having a crush on me, was honestly cute. Then i think in September i started playing on roblox, animatronic world : adventure edition, i honestly tried to go as close as i could to my idea of how my oc would look like and ended up like this

Well was a start... And after a few days of playing and well making up a story like "this is Foxy The NightSoul and he is cursed by idek" then for a while i roleplayed with a friend i lost connection named Goblin... Idr the rest of his name and with someone else who named their oc DemonBear, and welp there was a start of a story about a tortured soul, then Yoxxy The LightSoul was made who back then was called only Light cuz.. Eh limited mind, then i meet VixieCookie100 who well i role-played almost every day X3 and i can tell ya, no matter how bullied i was back then at school, i was mostly excited about the story we both made! (besides that she her oc Faded Killed Axayt and left him bodyless ^^;) was like the Knight and the Princess, honestly if i could remember everything i would tell ya guys! Well when she wasn't around i was randomly killing ocs in random rps i was getting into hehe... Then i meet Losty! Hehe and from there well i wanna say now short, my life was kinda changing! I was never suicidal and i thought back then that suicide is a stupid thing! ( clearly younger me would beat me up for becoming suicidal - w-") well i made lots of friends who i still talk to and to finally answer the anon ask! I loved my friends ocs and i wanted to bring them to life, back then my favorite youtubers was Crynight, Xboxgamerk, MrBreino, shgurr, Bonnie Bunny(GoldBox), Zajcu37, and many more! I was looking forward to animate in SFM but eh... I was having a bad pc.. So! Since i got more and more excited about their ocs and how amazing they were plus i loved my friends cuz they were always there for me back then.. Even now they still are and i appreciate it QwQ so i started drawing cuz of them! They inspired me so much! My first drawings was my ocs cuz... Ehh i had to start somehow... Then i tried drew them! And honestly Losty... Bunnies are damn hard to start draw when ya don't know almonst nothing about anatomy xD

So straight answer! My reason for starting drawing are my Friends! More specifically my old ones from roblox who are still with me QwQ like @riccidev (cuz the others i don't think they have a blog and they do, idk them cuz they rarely used them?? I guess)

Plus here is the redraw of this! (bonus a demon bird.. Thing..)

BEFORE!

AFTER! :3

Tags and stuuuufff

‘Eyo! Making a quick start to listing tags for my own reference, but making the post public so anyone can use ‘em to navigate my blogs. <3 (Adding links a bit at a time, too.) It’s late rn, so this’ll start (very) incomplete and I’ll add more in the future.

Also, some tags may not currently have any posts associated with them because the associated post is currently on queue, and I wanted to make a special tag for it and similar posts I may make or reblog in the future.

Sorted alphabetically. Tags may get removed or combined if I ever decide I’ve just got way too many and can’t reasonably keep track of them.

(Quick note to self: DON’T use bullet points for this extended list. They look clustered and gross with my blog theme, and using a double enter to space them out just spaces them out too much.)

* arthropod friends (reblogs) - Bugs and such! Good cuties. Or at least neato creatures. (More should be public in this tag eventually; there’s only two right now. My reblog queue stretches a couple months haha.) I’m actually a total insect/arthropod noob/newb so there may be some mis-categorized animals.

* art tips (reblogs) - Yeeup. Art tuts.

* ask answered - Peeps answer something I asked.

* beaitufl (main blog) (reblogs) - No typos here. Posts that are beautiful in a meme-like manner. I pronounce it “bay-aw-i-tuff-ull.” One of my fave tags tbh

* body horror or gore (reblogs) - As it says. NOT a trigger warning tag, though; it’s just for me, the posts that I think look especially cool with these themes. So, there may be some posts not tagged as such ‘cause, yes, I like them (I wouldn’t reblog them otherwise), but they don’t match the aesthetic I like with gore or body horror.

* christmas (reblogs) - Yeh

* cool art (reblogs)

* cool design (reblogs)

* cool fax (reblogs) - Cool facts.

* cussing (reblogs) - My only “warning” tag of any sort (at the moment?). I grew up in a weird family that was INCREDIBLY strict about swearing but lax on gore and violence and stuff, and I know other families that are similar, too, so this tag appeases myself, made for hypothetical younger-me and similar peeps looking at my blogs. But I use it way less than I should so

* cute (reblogs)

* cute buggies (reblogs) - Added much later than “cute” because gOOOSH @onenicebugperday is too wonderful and wholesome and also there are lots of cute insects anyway but I know a lot of people don’t find bugs cute so aaaaaaa

* [fandom] notable - Currently just have one “villainous notable” post (in my reblog queue while I’m making this post, iirc) but I’ll probably add more. Things that I think are especially neat or head canon-worthy.

-- villainous notable (reblogs) -- dracula notable

* faves (reblogs) - Self-explanatory <3

* funny (reblogs) - For tagging memes or funny fandom posts for fandoms I don’t post for often. If I post regularly for a fandom, the jokes and stuff won’t be labeled ‘cause I’d like the “funny” tag to be enjoyable to anyone, no matter their fandoms.

* halloween (reblogs)

* hand slipped (reblogs) - When someone says basically “whoops my hand slipped” on an art post because I love that energy. Posts with similar energy can get tagged with this, too, if I remember to do so.

* history (reblogs) - Old timey things and history-learning things. Only remembered this tag fairly recently so there’s not much on it.

* i answer

* keeper (reblogs) - Catch-all “I wanna find this later ‘cause it’s got cool or good info” post. Doesn’t fit with “reminder” ‘cause it’s not necessarily a reminder for myself on how to think or act or consider the world. Very possible there will still be quite a few posts with both “keeper” and “reminder” tags, to raise the chance I see the respective posts again. (I think I have one in my queue while making this post. Or I just like the idea and am adding it to the list for the future. Who knows lol)

* mood (reblogs) - Combined “relatable” and “relate” into this one tag. Yee.

* note (main blog) (reblogs) - I intend to have this tag usually be empty. Or at least not have much in it. It’s a “to-do” tag of sorts, but I’m casual about it and don’t worry if I don’t get to something. Might separate from “redraw possibility,” but who knows.

* note 2 (main blog) (reblogs) - For redraws or things I may want to animate in the future and similar. For sure not holding myself to anything, though. I just would like “note” to stay mostly empty. Removed “redraw possibility” as a tag and combined it with this.

* note done :3 (reblogs) - Finished a note task! I’m happy when I’m able to see I actually did stuff, like see task lists with things crossed off, so this is my equivalent. I’ve done at least a few more than what’s here ‘cause this was a tag I thought of probably a year+ after adding the “note” tags.

(Also!!! Holey MOLEY I know myself so well LOL. I forgot what my “I finished a note task” tag was, and my FIRST GUESSING SEARCH WAS CORRECT, LITTLE “:3″ EMOTICON AND ALL. I ONLY HAD ONE POST AT THE TIME TAGGED AS SUCH, AND I’D PROBABLY TAGGED IT MORE THAN A MONTH BEFORE. INCREDIBLE. I LOVE ME.)

* oh so they like like them (reblogs) - All ship stuff or stuff with people being together non-platonically. This is new (as of June 2021), so I gotta go back and tag stuff. Probably won’t find everything but that’s a’ight.

* oh that’s gay (reblogs) - GAE <3

* reblog (main blog) - For this blog since I don’t reblog much here anymore, other than gifs. Idk why I have it, exactly, but I like having it.

* reminder (main blog) (reblogs) - Reminders of things like “Hey, self, remember to not be a jerk,” “Oh crap, yeah, remember the world’s messed up about this,” or other similar things. (Different from “keeper”; “keeper” is more of a “misc. but notable” tag)

* sneks (reblogs) - snaaakes <3

* typos and stuff (reblogs) - Just to point out when I make mistakes, specifically mistakes I didn’t notice while submitting. I describe myself as a “recovering perfectionist,” so this is a silly “Heyo, reminder that mistakes get made. It’s all right <3” tag. (Usually there’s at least one mistake or aspect I’m unhappy with on each upload, but those are such a common part of life, they don’t need to be noted lol)

* villanos / villainous (main blog) (reblogs) - That exact tag, not #villainous or #villanos, but specifically “#villanos / villainous”: bilingual posts or posts where I translate Spanish Villainous content to English. (There might be some bilingual posts by other people tho :3)

Easter egg tags I only want to use impulsively and not with any particular organization:

* love love love (reblogs)

[mightdeletethis]

I hope yall have a happy and great new year! :D

Edit:

SO! Talk time, ik nobodys gonna read this but anyways

January

I was so proud of this picture. Still sort of am. I remember drawing this with a new set of brushes i had downloaded and it was a lot of fun to redraw these pokemon from small reference pictures. I dont think i noticed that back then but now im proud of my past self cuz i think i managed to draw the pokemon pretty well and it was one of the first times i tried to redraw something without using the exact same pose or position from my reference pic, but trying something different. I was also a bit frustrated with the picture cuz its not exactly how i would have liked it but meh its still nice

February

HAH. My laptop was definitely not made for a canvas this big xD its a 3000 x 3000 canvas and my laptop was struggling a lot during the whole process and i was so scared it would crash any second (luckily it didnt =w=). I was watching naruto while drawing this, thats why the expression looks the way it does lol Now i dont think it looks that good but back then i was damn proud of myself and i think it a sort of achievement aswell since i had never tried to draw a more detailed face this way

March

BOOM! x) "BOOM" 2 to be exact, me and my friend keep track of all my random boom pictures lol. This one was a redraw of a random sketch i had drawn previously, aka boom 1. Tbh i dont think i ever had so much fun or was so satisfied with a picture as i am/was with this one. There was no point to it, no background story, nothing, i just wanted to draw something fun and thats what i did and the picture still makes me happy, despite the flaws it has pwp

April

Very happy with this one too. I wanted to draw fanart for the little trashmaid comic series (its great, check it out) and when i was done i was super happy with how it turned out and the creator of the comic seemed to like it aswell ^w^ I still like it and im not feeling embarrassed about it in the slightest, which i think is the best thing about the picture (even tho it could have been better)

May

I love this picture and i dont really care about all the things i did or didnt do wrong. At the beginning i was having trouble and got a bit frustrated with it since i didnt know how to draw what i wanted to but in the end i think it turned out great and idk, it just makes me happy :D

June

The first picture after i had nuked my old account. Id love to ramble about this picture and the story behind it but that would take too much time and i doubt anyone made it this far anyways lol What i can say is that the drawing process of this one was also a lot of fun and i was able to just go into a..somewhat trance state and just, well, draw. I think that one was also the one where i found my love for lineless backgrounds. (when im in the right mood i love painting them)

July

This was..hm. Challenging. Intimidating. I hadnt seen a lot of Sky: Children of the Light fanart and after my first attempt at a screenshot redraw had gone well, i wanted to try another one. And as soon as i had started, it just worked. I had some trouble with the shading and it doesnt look very good at some parts but eh i still love it (not super happy with the colours but im getting better at that i think)

August

I dont know what happened there lol I remember wanting to draw something for the prompt but being pretty late? Idk, anyways, for some reason i decided to start drawing at 10pm and keep going without a single break until 2-3am. Again, i was in this drawing bubble and only broke out when i felt like i was gonna pass out and i had to finish. I know i could have just stop and gone to sleep but for some reason i didnt. But ye i like the result, i see so many mistakes and things id like to change but it is what it is

September

Hach...Theres so much wrong here xD But oh well. I drew the sketch in a free period in school befor latin class and later redrew it digitaly. I wanted to draw stardew valley fanart and so i did pwp It was fun so i dont dislike the picture but i still know that there are parts that dont make any sense xD

October

Its so pretty ;w; I mean cmon- it is. This is a picture where i have no problem to be arrogant or show of cuz i think i did a really good job with it and welp theres nothing more to say. I love it and it was a great drawing process

November

Very frustrating. The pose was fine but- the background? Oof. It took me ages to get it done, then i decided it sucks and deleted it and started from scratch and drew a whole new background. Im..half happy with the result. Its not what i wanted it to be but i guess it turned out fine and i dont dislike it

December

Again, super happy. It turned out very nicely and actually close to what i had in my mind. It also came put pretty quick. I only had trouble with the clothes but eh im gonna get better at that eventually

Recap time!
