Three in One Post

For my A-Pal’s on this day Post

I have remembered seeing a bunch of foxes including Sam himself. And even when I first met my A-Pal back in 2015, I even asked him how he ended up drawing Tails in the color of Brown. Because normally Tails’ color is supposed to be orange, and we understand the diff between burnt brown or burnt orange, or just the color orange. I remember with Tails I thought his fur color is Yellow orange. But I know his color is usually orange. I remember seeing Tails in burnt orange color in some of the Archie Comics when I was young and watch some of the Dic Animation cartoons like The Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog and Sonic SATAM. But I do like a lot of the other Fox characters as well as for Fennekin and Vulpix, and if I my A-Pal and I had to draw Sam as part of the Pokémon Phantom Thieves, I had to choose Vulpix since it might be fitting for him.

For my Filipino Friend’s on this day Post

It has been 5 years with Sammir’s old look. I sometimes remaster draw Sammir with his current look by adding new things. Even Miya would enjoy that.

And now a Response to my Filipino friend.

I don’t usually get a Midnight Snack that much. I used to have a Midnight Snack when I was either young or as a teenager. But it would be nice if Shadow and Spot were to have a midnight snack together if they both can’t sleep if they’re both hungry. And also, I have remembered Robot and Monster as a kid. Normally before i got into Middle School. But no one ever talks about them anymore, I even know some fanarts of them back on DA. But i haven’t heard of that show that much even when I started watching Nickelodeon. Especially when SpongeBob is trying their best with their writing to some of their episodes and seasons.

I've been all over the place with what I've drawn over the years.

2008 - 2009: A ton of dragons, dragon OCs and original species. Fezagon comic and I had a personal project called Indigo Spirit.

2010: More dragons and dragon OCs. I had a personal project called Third Eye Open. I entered a Pokémon trainer OCT and made Pokémon comics. I practiced drawing humans a lot.

2011: More Pokémon OCT. More Third Eye Open art. I made Api. I redescovered TMNT.

2012: More Pokémon OCT, but with another character. More Third Eye Open art.

2013: A bit more Pokémon OCT and general Pokémon art. Some more dragons. Some more Third Eye Open art. I made an ARPG group on DA, the Mais Pond.

2014: A lot of Mais Pond art. More Api art, and I tried really hard to work on his world and story. Lots of human drawing practice.

2015: More Api art and human OCs. More Mais Pond art. I entered an OCT with Api.

2016: More OCT with Api. More Mais Pond batches. A tiny bit of everything, Api, human OCs, Pokémon. I think I burnt out a bit around here.

2017: I made a Pokémon comic. A lot of Api art and OC art. A lot of AUs of my own characters; Merpeople, Pokémon, and dragons.

2018: Continued on the same track as last year; A lot of self-indulgent OC art with Api and Lotl. AU art. I thiiiiink I made the Toonocosm an official head world thing this year.

2019: A lot of Toonocosm and OC art. Notable more fanart; Zelda, Steven Universe, Minecraft. Tried out Patreon. Drew Patreon rewards.

2020: Losing steam a bit, but mostly Toonocosm and OC art. A bit more mermaids, Pokémon, SU, Minecraft, and other fanart. Some fezagons. Patreon rewards.

2021: More Pokémon, Nintendo fanart, GW2 art, and mermaids. More Patreon rewards. Some more Toonocosm art and OC art. Decided Patreon was not for me.

2022: I did not draw a lot. I entered Art Fight for the first time, which was a great experience. But I drew some Toonocosm and OC art too.

I might try to sum this up in another post later once I've digested it a bit. I've been hyperfocused for two days and I need to rest my brain.

Dies of cringe lol.

Actually, though. I'm saving 60 pages of storaged art on DA to my computer today, stuff all the way from 2009 to now. I hate most of it but I still don't want it to get lost. I don't trust DA to stay up forever with how it's going for them, so I feel like I gotta do this sooner or later.

the holidays are obviously fun, but now there’s also this extra little sense of guilt for me because i announced slarpg on december 23, 2015 with a projected 2016 release date, and then a year later i released the first trailer and said it would be done in 2017

this spring will mark five years since development began on slarpg (although, to be fair, i didn’t really get serious about it until 2016). i think it’s shaping up to be something really special, and we’ve put a ton of work into it to ensure that. i’m proud of what we’ve accomplished and i’m excited to get it into peoples’ hands

it’s just hard to work on a project for this long and still not know when it will be done. it feels very much like my life is on hold until the game is done. i have no idea how well the game will do. currently, between my patreon and some commissions i do on the side, i’m getting by. but i can’t think about getting therapy to start hrt, or getting prescribed adhd meds, or about anthony and i getting our own place, when i’m barely above breaking even

and it’s also just hard from a creative standpoint, having to sit on the story for so long. being so excited about these characters and this world and wanting to share that when literally only three other people on earth have even read the story outline. most of the actual plot of the game is spoilers. several of my favorite characters are spoilers and can’t be revealed before the game is released. it’s hard to try and keep peoples’ interest in the project when so little can be shown, even though a full hour of the game is playable for free. it’s easy to get kinda burnt out and feel like people have forgotten about the game, or that me constantly rambling about it on twitter to remind people it exists has created this unrealistic level of hype for a low budget rpg maker game and that it’ll never live up to it. it’s just easy to get caught up in my own head like this when i haven’t gotten new feedback for a while and have to rely on my own judgment to gauge the quality of my work

i don’t know where i’m going with this post. it’s just the reality of working on a project for this long, i suppose. in early 2020 i’ll have more of the game playable for private playtesting, and that should reinvigorate me. we’ll keep working on it and pouring a lot of love into it, and someday it will be finished and people can play it and see this story that’s existed primarily in my head for the last few years. hopefully that day will come in 2020. maybe not. but either way, i’m thankful that y’all have stuck around for this long, and that so many people have supported us, whether it’s through my patreon, or people drawing fanart, or even just folks telling their friends to check it out. it means a lot to me

As a memorial for my first tablet, which died this year, I put together pieces from each year that I had it (it lasted for almost 12 years!) Also I’m curious to see how my art evolved over the years, and this was a good excuse.

Analysis of each year under the cut:

2008: -Got my first tablet in September (the top pic was my very first attempt with it aaa) -Was into fanimations and creating fanart of peoples' OCs, and Japanese stuff in general -Made several attempts at original stories, but they barely lasted after creating the characters --However, I did have two stories that I made fair progress on: one of my group of friends at the time, and a horror story with disabled protagonists

2009: -I was very into horror tropes at this time, so it was difficult to find early stuff that didn't have blood on it :'D -HETALIA -My art themes immediately moved into Cuteness Territory, which I've pretty much stuck with to now -Also pretty much adopted Himaruya's art style almost overnight -The prototype characters of Kaleidoscope Children began here, though I didn't start making proper art of them until next year

2010: -So much Hetalia and chibi content (I should put a cuteness warning next time) -Played around with different art techniques -Discovered SAI -Finally completed a group picture (with 50+ characters!), which is a big accomplishment considering how easily I get bored/burnt out --This was probably the first pic I did that got fairly popular

2011: -Moved over from Photoshop to SAI as my primary art program (PS was only used for extra effects) -Finally drew fanart that wasn't Hetalia, haha -My first commission -Out of my old artwork, this year was perhaps my favourite; there are a lot of works I'm still really pleased with

2012: -Half of my art this year was digital paint, and the other half was 'attempted digital watercolour', which I never really mastered... -First attempt applying for an art job (I didn't get it, but in retrospect I'm glad I didn't, I wasn't ready yet :'D ) -Joined an art contest (and only one) on deviantart

2013: -The number of original pics outnumbered fanart (especially Hetalia, I probably drew it once a year for the next few years) -In previous years I made a couple of attempts at a simplified/more cartoony art style, but didn't really settle on something until this year, though I still primarily stuck to my more anime-influenced style -Used the Fringe tool for shading for a few years

2014: -Too busy with school, probably only made like 5 proper pics this entire year -For the next few years, I drew eyes where the lineart has no gaps between the eyelids (so more Western-ish) -Started experimenting with darker shading -First attempt at detailed food

2015: -Also not very productive -Got a food art commission

2016: -Still not very productive -First 500+ note popular pic -Stopped adding highlights to hair

2017: -Started reviving KalChi and gave them new profile pics -Wasn't super proud of my art style at this point (particularly how I drew eyes)

2018: -BNHA -Finally I had a series to obsess over again and draw lots of fanart for again! -For some reason, something clicked toward the end of the year, and I started to really like drawing??? (not that I had low self-esteem about my art, but most of what I drew didn't feel grand or special or super memorable) -New tricks: Multiply for the lineart layer, also finally drawing a decent BG instead of mostly blank/basic BGs

2019: -New lineart technique, which for lack of a better term I call the 'traditional/marble-chiseling technique', which makes me feel like less of a perfectionist due to the rougher lineart 👍 (i.e.: the rough sketch becomes the final lineart, I don't make a separate layer for the final lineart anymore) -Drew eyes differently (lineart gaps again and smaller irises) inspired by BNHA's art style -Getting back into making comics frequently again -Also more proper BGs! -Perhaps the highest enjoyment I've had yet

2020: -Zines! -The most detail I've done yet -Tablet dies in the middle of my 3rd zine work in mid-late summer (R.I.P.), while I finished it with my backup tablet --This became my first 1000+ note popular pic!

so, if you’re someone who started reading confectionery (that one ice cream!au subscorp fic) nearly four years ago and have been wondering what the hell is going on with it since, this post is for you.

(also, if you haven’t heard, there’s a new chapter! read it here ♡)

i should begin by apologizing. i wish i was more forward about my feelings on the work and why i stopped working on it, and i regret not doing so. i also feel like i should explain myself a bit.

i began writing confectionery after being inspired by a parody video (I WANTED ICE CREAM) and trading ideas with my best friend during the summer of 2015.

that summer, i was in a weird spot mentally; i had just finished my first year at a university i hated, where i spent most of my time between classes crying my eyes out due to the stress of being unable to afford the tuition, as well as just not being ready for that transition in my life yet. i decided to transfer to a school in my hometown that was much cheaper and allowed me to stay home for that following fall.

however, i still struggled to find work, so i had two and a half months of seemingly endless free time, which allowed me to write plenty during that break. i had managed to finish and publish chapter six right before the next semester began, and i knew after my first day of class that i wouldn’t be able to continue writing, but i pretended that i could force myself to. i started chapter seven and then promptly gave up when i couldn’t write more than three sentences before wanting to give up and try again tomorrow.

the thing with fanart and fanfiction is that it’s purely meant for pleasure; fanartists can make a (legal) profit from their work, but fanfic writers cannot, and so the only thing driving me was the creative need to make something. but starting school again and having to figure out what the hell transfer students were supposed to do (my university did little to help me or other transfers with this kind of transition) drained me significantly.

my interest in mk waned around the same time, and i knew that forcing myself to write something i wasn’t feeling passionate about would hurt the quality of the work, which i simply could not allow myself to do; i take way too much pride in my writing ability and skills to post something i’m not satisfied with. i also felt that it would be unfair to the piece itself and to everyone who was actively reading it.

i didn’t want to orphan it, though, and instead put it on hiatus because i knew i definitely wanted to start working on it again at some point, but also realized that i likely wouldn’t want to return to it until the next mk title rolled around (which is exactly what’s happened lmao).

however, i also received some very frustrating and entitled comments in 2016 that lead me to resent confectionery and as such, made me want nothing to do with it; i ended up publishing four unrelated fics during that year (after marathoning simon pegg films and becoming INCREDIBLY hyperfixated on star trek because of it), which is where all my creative energy went.

anyone who’s looked at my work history will find that i haven’t published anything since then, though. my depression is a constant thing i’m dealing with, and it hit me hard at the time. i also found a job (fucking finally) in may 2017, which shortened my free time between work and school. i tried to write, but never finished anything. i think i have three or four projects i’ve started since then, but couldn’t force myself to complete. i poured most of my personal time into playing overwatch instead.

so, writing’s been hard for me lately. i put a lot of creative time into sfm and not much else, but eventually burnt myself out on that, too. i’ve also barely made any gifs or edits in the past few years. capitalism has a way of draining you of any and all creativity lmao.

but, now that i’ve graduated with my bachelor’s and found a new job where i’m actually utilizing my knowledge instead of making pizzas under a manager who couldn’t give less a shit about me or my efforts, i’m feeling much more satisfied with the direction my life is going and also have a lot more time to do things for myself.

i recently replayed the story to mkx to give myself a refresher of the plot so far (i referenced this in a recent comment on confectionery, for you eagle-eyed readers) and also got to do a few towers during the mk11 beta a couple weeks ago. since then, i’ve been fleshing out the plot line to confectionery and finally wrote the next chapter (one that i was super excited to write before my interest wilted and died rip).

so, if you’re reading this, that means i also finally published it!! we did it kids!!! we’re back on the mortal kombat ice cream train!!!!

if you’ve made it down here, thank you so much for reading this whole thing. my intent isn’t to make excuses but to simply explain myself for the very long hiatus. your patience and support means the absolute world to me. i hope you enjoyed the recent update, and that you’ll stick around for the next one! ♡

TPoH Theory Time!

THIS   MAN   IS   NOT   RGB

Okay, let me explain. I was doing a bit of digging and came across this post. Now, in itself it’s not more than a rather depressing joke made by the man we commonly know as the human version of RGB. But the tags tell a different story.

#shh  #nothing to see here  #also see under #'maynotbeabletofitintothecomicbutstillrelevanttomyagony'  #doodles  #sketches  #mod art  #not RGB  #shhhhHHHH

That second last one there... ‘not RGB’. On its own it could just be taken as a bit of a joke, or something about RGB before he became the telly-head that we know. But there was also something suspiciously similar and similarly suspicious posted on Mod’s patreon in September 2015.

I realise that a lot of people won’t have access to the image, and I won’t be posting it here for obvious reasons, but it’s a coloured sketch of a grinning man with wavy blond hair wearing a blue suit. AKA it’s human RGB. But the description accompanying it hints otherwise.

A slightly too manic sketch of human RGB (? or is it I will never tell ahHAHAHAH)

Now, once might be a joke, and twice could just be a coincidence, but firstly, fandom theories are often formed off coincidences, and secondly, I am reasonably certain that if I went through enough of Mod’s blog, the fanart blog, her patreon, and all of that, that I would find other examples. (If you know of any, feel free to add them to this post.)

So what I’m trying to say here is that the charming blond man we know is not actually RGB as a human, or as he was before he became a monster. Back when page 250 and 251 were posted, there were hundreds of theories as to why the iron would be so significant to RGB, especially in regards to the death-dreams he’d been having before. The one that I personally think makes the most sense is this one by @theroyalzookeeper.

Basically it theorises that RGB was never actually a person, but merely the idea of a person. A facade that someone took on as they played a character on a TV/movie screen. People loved the character so much that he took on a life of his own (as they tend to do) but ignored the actor playing him. So, in order to ‘kill’ RGB, the actor burnt his face with an iron so they would be unable to play the role anymore due to scarring. (The actor/mask duality fits nicely with the story of the sun as well...)

So RGB, the character represented by an invisible man with a TV head, died. Or rather... was killed by the man playing him. Meanwhile the actor, the blond man with the sad eyes, possibly lived on. Badly scarred and out of a job, but not necessarily dead. Because he wasn’t RGB and RGB wasn’t him.

TL;DR:  RGB was just a fictional character even within the world of TPoH, and the ‘human’ version of him is just the actor that played him
