#now that the animatic is out I finally finished these doodles

[sunnyaliceart]

There's a certain "something" between those two

[tartsinarat]

I didn’t want to just post nothing for the next few days and disappear because of being busy with story planning and an animatic for the post canon part of the Golden heir au soooo here’s some doodles I did a while ago that I finally finished and coloured

Drawing smol Hunter made me sad because he hasn’t gone through most of the horrors yet and has only just become the Golden guard.

Anyway, the doodle on the right is Hunter trying his best to comfort Pip after he didn’t take the fact that Hunter is now the golden guard and is going to be off doing dangerous missions all the time very well.

It also didn’t help that due to being told that wild witches basically merked their whole family and him not being allowed to go outside obviously really messed up Pip’s perception on anything that exists outside the castle so he just assumes that Hunter is just going to die in a horrifying and tragic way if he steps out too far…

No idea if anyone noticed it but the reason why I gave a Pip a sword originally is because of this scene in hollow mind

So I thought it would be cute to reference it by drawing Pip’s younger lil kid self playing with a palistrom sword

On a side note the reason in canon to why Pip originally wanted to learn how to use a sword was because he once got told about knights by Belos who was just humouring him when he asked about the human realm, Pip then thought it was the most coolest way for someone to slay evil doers and wild witches and was like I could totally learn how to use that

So yeah the kid was seven and was already practicing killing wild witches so thank fuck he even got basically adopted by Eda and had a major reality check because if not he would have turned out to be a proper monster jeez

Unfinished work of 2023

I think I’m gonna start doing this every year now, opening up the years with WIP that never got finished. I had a lot of ideas that I really loved and either the story changed or I kinda moved on from the piece cause I didn’t know where to go with it. But to be honest I may continue on with some of these in the future!

I didn’t post much last year due to my wedding in January, that and a job that has been sucking me dry ( in the process of looking for a new one), but here a bits and pieces of what was going on in my head during 2023

Top left: the name for this one was “Big Brother Sunday” and pretty much was inspired by Warp taking the boys out one last time before Estrella was born, Percy (the bigger kid) is telling orion (The little kid) how Warp did this for him too right before Orion was born.

Top right: this is actually a scene from a comic I had doodled and most likely this scene is gonna go a little differently. It was to kinda open up and explain how they worked together on the mission in private while still being “enemies” in front of everyone else (other than buzz and commander, they are part of the mission too), it was a sweet moment to kinda show the audience there was feelings going on between them >.>

Middle left: This one was actually supposed to be the cover to my story/ and also another song challenge, the song being Taylor Swift’s “Cruel Summer”.

Middle right: a re draw from a pic I started back in 2020

Bottom left: another Song challenge! This time for the song “Clean” by Taylor Swift. This one was to kinda dive into the topic of Warp’s relationship with his Ex Venus, who was abusive, and the feeling of him finally being able to move on from her, I still may continue on this one, I would love to make a animatic if I ever had the time energy.

Bottom right: Warp with Orion as a baby Lol

Wip that I may or may not finish in a timely manner,, it's been taking so long i wanted to show ppl before it started gathering too much dust :,)

[ID below the cut]

[ID: An animatic of Zane and Jay from Ninjago to the song "Lonely Dancers" by Conan Gray. It opens with the title "Lonely Dancers: Zane and Jay Animatic" before cutting to a shot of Zane's feet, which shuffle to the side as he gets ready.

There's a singular singer in the background, singing, "we're lonely dancers, join me for the night..."

Zane puts on his blazer and then his earrings, smiling as the little studs sparkle on his ear.

The singer continues: "We're lonely dancers, baby, dance with me so we don't cry..."

We see Zane from the back as he straightens up and runs his hand through his hair. The camera cuts to an old record player that's playing the song on the outside deck of the monastery.

A second singer joins in: "We're lonely dancers, there's no need to hide-"

Jay is shown adjusting his belt and quickly tugging on his blazer before clipping on a necklace with a smile.

Singers: "I know the answer baby-"

Zane and Jay are shown walking towards each other.

Singers: "-dance with me so we don't cry!"

The two of them stand dramatically back to back as the camera zooms out and we finally see both of them in full. Zane laughs as Jay cheekily leans further, sliding down on Zane's back, and then Jay hip-bumps him, telling him, "Get movin', dance machine." Zane stumbles and replies, "Ok, ok-" and quickly recovers to stand beside Jay as they sing along to the song.

"La la lala laa-" Zane shifts to lay dramatically on Jay's back.

"-Cry!"

They both giggle a bit at the antics and continue singing: "La la lala laa-"

Jay grabs Zane's shoulders, turning him around to face him and sings: "Your lover left you, broke up tonight!" Jay clenches his fist in mock anguish as Zane nods sadly.

A doodle of Pixal is shown in the upper corner, it says, "Went shopping."

Jay flops into Zane's arms. "My lover's busy, kissing other guys..."

A doodle of Nya is shown in the other corner, it says, "Went with Pixal."

Jay sings, "We're both alone now, tears in our eyes." The whole of the courtyard is shown as Jay lifts his hand and gestures around them at the emptiness.

The camera focuses back on them as he sings with a mischievous grin, "I know the perfect way to waste our time!" He slides his arm off of Zane's shoulders in a smooth motion and tugs the both of them into a spin as he sings the line, eventually letting go of Zane and letting him spin off to the side in a whirlwind while he regains his balance.

Jay straightens up with a smirk and the camera goes back to Zane, who finally stops spinning with a shocked, wide-eyed expression. Jay slides up next to him not long after, offering his hand with a smile.

Singers: "We're lonely dancers... join me for the night-

Zane glances incredulously between him and the offered hand before relenting and grabbing it. This time though, he confidently takes control of the dance, saying, "My turn." /end ID]

 YumaHiko/KokoBolt Animatic

so uhh Happy late Valentine's everybody > < I've been working really hard, but I did it I have made a full song animatic I was hoping to finish it by Valentines but my perfectionism got the better of me it's not perfect perfect, but it's satisfying enough for me to confidently upload it

so a ramble: Kyusi is a Filipino song that I have been associating the ship for a long while now, and I couldn't stop day dreaming an animatic about them. To explain, the lyrics of Kyusi is the singer's telling their lover how he perfectly accepts them for who they are and that they don't need to change their appearance or themselves for him to love them. He just wants their true selves. Kyusi is just "QC" or Quezon City, a city here in Metro Manila. If memory serves, I think he mentioned that he likes to hangout there with that person. So yeah, It's a great and sweet OPM/ Filipino Song, I literally call it their theme song. To me, Desuhiko is a Filipino HAHAHA- another ramble for another day anyways I have been doodling the scenes and made a script since last November. But I finally got to work around Late January. Actually, I would have done it faster if it weren't for Krita deleting my storyboard sketches (I'm still so upset but thankfully i saved half of the start as a pdf) so uhh yeah check it out if you can :DDD I'm already tired - might make another post talking about it so enjoyyyyy (I'm really giddy yet tired)

[determunition]

hi gang!

it's been a while but i just wanted to sort out my progress on everything i'm working on rn ^^ especially since i've been getting quite a few new followers recently! welcome welcome to you all btw, i'm super happy to have you here ^w^

OLD_FOLKS HOME: as you might expect i've had a bit of trouble getting back into writing for OFH, but i'm finally on my way! chapter 23 is fully drafted save for some minor edits, and i've just cracked into chapter 24. the tournament arc will be four chapters in total, and once those are done i'll drop them on a biweekly basis! thanks so much for your patience on OFH, it's far outgrown its original scope but i truly do love working on it and can't wait to show you guys all my ideas ^^ if you've not checked out OFH or if you wanna catch up, now's a great time to do so! you can find it right here on ao3: [Link]

=====

Storyboards: i'm on my way to being finished with a pretty big inscryption-based storyboard project! it's about as long as the digital affection animatic, but it's far more silly than cinematic. with any luck i'll have it out by next month! i'll be dropping it on youtube first, so if you'd like to subscribe or otherwise keep an eye on my channel for that you can head over to my channel right here: [Link]

=====

Prints: if you're new to this blog or missed my recent announcement, i started selling some prints of the canon scrybes and my swap scrybes on etsy! they're $15 each and i'm all stocked up, so you won't be waiting too long for delivery ^^ huge shoutout to those who have ordered so far! shipping is still within the US only but i'm planning on changing that sometime soon, so i'll keep you posted. in the meantime you can check out the prints here if you're interested!: [Link]

=====

Misc: Until these projects are done (especially the boards), it's gonna be mostly sketches on the blog proper! i've been in a massive scrybeswap mood lately so that won't change anytime soon, but you can also expect some retyrement and maybe a couple wildcards here and there; hope you enjoy every silly lil doodle i throw up here! i certainly enjoy sharing them haha

==========

and that's basically it for now! a lot of inscryption as you can see, so if you're here for that, lovely news all around! but for those of you who like a bit more variety, know that i've got plenty of shovel knight and a bit of deltarune in the oven too...well, maybe not in the oven; more like uhh cold proofing in the fridge lmao

thanks for reading my lil ramble if you made it this far and another big welcome to all the new folks on the blog! happy to have you here and hope you enjoy yourself ^^

[l1mit-breaker]

GOD FINALLY HES DONE OH MY G O

i present to you my favoritest time travel boi

extra dumb rants from me utc .

chris ( me ) after watching horror videssays while drawing at midnight

they are so lovely but i do not need to be jumpscared by WHEELS and DOORS AAAA ( kane pixels “the rolling giant” for context ) shakes fists ………

i wouldve got this post out sooner if the art arted better but well . SIGH . i also realized i accidentally kind of made him colored like fucking steve from minecraft and now im . i make bad decisions .

anyways ! heres a thing for whoevers still reading; design choices ! because i actually think sometimes ! woo !

i have all the uh , color pallet stuff (???) of the characters saved and i try to use as much as the colors on those as possible because (1. its a pretty cool challenge , and (2. iiii am horrendous with coming up with my own pallets !! ahaha ! for roman i had it in my heart and in my soul ( for some reason ) that he has wavy/fluffy brown hair . i added the highlight things because . uh . colors . and it looks cool . AND WHY NOT :D i put him in a very simple outfit because he is a prisoner ( /j ) and the gloves are for coolness points and because of ✨THE LAB✨ . safety and all that jazz wAIT I SHOULDVE GIVEN HIM GOGGLES GODAMMIT- ahem , anyways the side doodle is just yknow regular evil time travel bull . i think thats it . i probably wouldve done more if not for my brain being half turned off and the fact ive been procrastinating on this ever since i finished cyril .

i also want to mention how badly i want to make an animatic of the time travel experiment log video . but hell knows id never be able to finish that if i tried .

anyways thanks for reading have a great time !

Grad School - Week 1

Wanted to start doing some weekly roundups of my grad school studies so here you go:

This first week went pretty well. I have met a lot of new people but have yet to really engage with any of them. I think a lot of people are really overwhelmed-- like me. Hopefully week 2 I can start to get to know some people!

Nerves doodle from last Sunday of Ev smoking.

My first class is Visual Development for Sequential Art. Our first assignment is doing a 4-page comic of Static Shock. Stay tuned. Currently procrastinating on that!

My second class is Drawing Strategies which is essentially "Perspective: The Class" which is already something I know quite well, actually, but I do have trouble applying it. It seems VERY basic for a grad level course. However I finally understood something that I never really got before so it's already paying off.

This concept of "trace" is really helpful. I suck at environments so anything that helps me "get it" better is extremely useful. Paying off already. In ways it feels kind of like a math class too. I'm actually decent at math so it's not so bad. Having a more technical course is helpful so my other studio class is the more creatively draining one.

My other class is Contemporary Art History. Going to have to do a research paper for that one which I'm not excited about but whatever. I'll live. I'm trying to be a more active participant in discussions now that I'm a grad student and I hate it. But I don't want to get that previously inevitable "you need to speak up more in class" that I always get.

Also, I think all my peers are rich af. I went to the Sequential Art Grad Meeting and the advisor suggested we don't take a full course load, and then said especially not if we have jobs-- to which he asked people to raise their hands if they had a job and 90% do not. HUH???

I'm only doing Uber Eats for now but I can't imagine being able to afford private school, taking it at a leisurely pace, AND not working! Crazy! Not to mention a large population of the grad students came directly from undergrad. At my undergrad that was a big no-no. All my professors said, "Do not go directly into grad school unless the job you want specifically requires it-- take some time to gain experience and figure out what you want to do-- and absolutely don't just continue here at the same school!" It seems this school advises it's undergrad to absolutely come right back to the same school. Weirds me out a little.

Here's Lloyd looking depressed as hell from an animatic I started in August that will never get finished now that I'm in school lol

[kirider]

part two!

Lupat stuff: 1 and 2, aka "if I had a nickel for every time a green ranger died before the series started I'd have two nickels-"; 3 is pokemon headcanons for Noel ("lucario is yellow not gold" shhhh) (shiny thievul taken from donbrothers, hi); 4 is crossover with Girl×Heroine (I wanna watch it so badly I don't care if it's a kid-show) I'm pretty sure the girls are ooc in this but oh well; 4 is headcanon stuff that I still haven't decided if I wanna make it an arc in Team Bonding

Random bunch: 1 Goro and Kitaoka; 2 Gotchard made when they first showed him; 3 wheel challenge that I will definitely finish and totally isn't haunting me haha *sweat*; 4 Jisariz doodle made after episode 2; 5 is kitties; 6 THSH, Ichika deserves a skirt for the suit and of course I can't be normal about it but instead made headcanons for that

....when you have an idea but you can't figure out what to draw to share it. Anyways. Sky cotl brainrot, if you give me a manta of course I'm gonna think of Sky

Magical girl boys which I will finish. At some point. I hope. They're totally not haunting me haha. Ace is almost done tbh. I have more designs but they're still on paper and not in the folder

The only Ryuki and Knight I care about are the Card Warrior ones, sorry

Gosei stuff: 1 big piece that i haven't had the time to work on yet; 2, 3 and 4 are headcanons for angel culture (I thought too much about worldbuilding for them whoops); 5 Agri showed up with a red shirt once and I decided that they share clothes now; 6 episode 27 o|-(; 7 and 8 Philip and Hyde are friends in the tv bumpers, that's canon to me

Geats brainrot: 1 and 3 are from vocaloid songs; 2 is (distruction) Tsumuri and Ace made based only from the episode preview; 4 is because this last part of the series is very close to the prediction of the ending I made near the start, but with a different aesthetic; 5 I think they should play other games than fortnite /j (kirby, animal crossing, sky cotl); 6 (only the bottom half) is from the Lamentation arc, I wanna draw bubbles; 7 is one of the OOO crossovers, and an headcanon for Keiwa; 8 is Jamaity Buffa from the episode preview that I still want to go back to

ExAid brainrot, with a lot of Kiriya: 1 is various Kiriya forms from his various deaths; 2 this is from Tricks Lazer, they're in a RPG; 3 Kokoro Parad bc yes; 4 ....this requires me to learn a whole new skill I'll be back when I have time to learn it. I do love this Emu tho; 5 Combi Bakusou Bike ExAid; 6 screenshot redraw; 7 and 8 were for an animatic (8 is the planning, 7 is me taking a break from planning but staying on theme), but requires me making a whole choreography for it. Send help

More ExAid brainrot: 1 more Girl×Heroine crossovers; 2 music girlfriends; 3 Emu and Parad totally not exploring an abandoned PizzaPlex bc I've been watching too much Ruin; 4 trying to make a design for Nico (for one of the not-fics i made the cover for); 5 and 6 just hanging out in the CR office; 7 (it's still mostly on paper but It's in the folder ot counts) Lazer most fucked up transformation lesson my beloved

1 gold fusion final forms with ExAid and R/B; 2 I haven't met AkaRed but his concept sounds so cool can't wait to meet him; 3 episode one Gira; 4 ...oh boi. This is like a 10 part series. It's never gonna be finished. Why did I decide to have them on chairs.; 5 this is from a W au, unfinished bc I cannot figure out Wakana, sorry girl. Ryuga is a just a cameo in the au, this piece is where this comes from ; 6 and 7 are from the skates stuff. I love the skates stuff so many good tags

Tagged by @excadrill , thank you 🥰

RULES: Reveal the titles of the documents in your WIP folder and tag as many people as there are documents. Let others ask questions about the ones that interest them and post snippets or explain the contents as you see fit!

My tablet automatically names my files, so sadly can't share titles :(

But!!! I can share the thumbnails of some sketches! I'm always up to ramble about my drawings lol

There are a lot tho, bc i have the attention span of a goldfish and just keep jumping around stuff o|-( so I'm gonna put them in a reblog ...maybe two bc of the image limit

For the sake of everyone, I'm gonna share only stuff I've thought about recently, bc if I shared aaaall the wips we would be here all week lol. This is already gonna be so long as it is

Ignore the dates, they're a mess bc I tried to group them by series

Also, not tagging anyone, bc everyone I can think of rn already did it or has already been tagged. Except you. I'm tagging you. Yes you reading this. Do it.

here's an old(?) animatic test thing i drew last year but finally sat down and edited

[bitter-sweet-coffee]

Uhhhh idk if this counts as getting to know you, but when did you fall in love with Infinite ?

oh this definitely counts!!! oohohohoh okok SO

when sonic forces came out i didnt play it in full because ever since the Wii U era, sonic games were hard to access for me and the public shaming for liking sonic was getting kinda bad since i wasn't young enough to pass for it anymore so my love for sonic sorta went into the closet by forces

but then,,, university gave me a spark to go back to it. i started writing my shadpio fic and whatnot, and eventually it was too good so i asked essentially my only friend at the time who i had just met about my idea without saying it's sonic. when i finally told her it was sonic she was like "nah fuck off that's not sonic, you're telling me your cringe fandom is sonic??" and after realizing people won't disown me anymore for liking the hog, it enabled me to do more

eventually i played forces and was like, doggy? sorry. doggy??? BECAUSE HE'S ACTUALLY ADORABLE. well, at that point i thought he was just cool but tbh it was the Forces comic where he was finally unmasked that sold me bc he's so,,, pretty

naturally i was listening to music (i always listen to music unless i'm forced not to) and this banger came on:

and... it was him! so i fell in love with infinite and now i literally cannot stop thinking about him ever

(this is normally where i would draw a doodle of him for this post but i'm not home rn so instead here is an old wip animatic for a compilation i never finished)

(audio is from glee duh)

[sweetlydraws]

Painted Lady AU Tomorrow Old meets New.

The final part of the countdown series. To be continued in the next animatic... Hopefully. 

Warnings: Bad Language, Chat Noir Bashing. (He doesn’t show up, but he still an ass in spirt.)

Please Enjoy!

Marinette P.O.V

“MOM! Have you seen my drawing tablet!” I yelled with my arm all the way under the couch. Panic was covering my whole body. My heart was pounding. I need to find a tablet! I’m leaving tomorrow!

“Sweetie you don’t need to yell I’m just over here. Did you check your bags?” Mom said from the kitchen. Pulling my arm out, my hands are shaking.

“I-I did! Sorry... I checked them, check them again, and again.” I stand up and start pacing. Where would it be? I check the bakery, the kitchen, the bathroom, my room, my bags… Where! I run my hand over my face.

“Did you check your balcony?” Mom said not looking up from the dishes she was washing. Freezing, I couldn’t have left it there. I couldn’t! I did, didn’t I. I was up there this morning doodling.

“Do you want me to check sweetie? You look pale.” When my eyes focus, mom is looking at me with concern. I smile. Shaking my head, I turn and head to my room. When I’m out of view, my smile falls. I’m leaving tomorrow, I don’t have time to explain that I’m scared to go on my balcony because of Chat Noir. I quietly climb the ladder. Peaking in I see that Nooroo and co are still asleep. I sneak past them to the ladder. They have been helping me pack and keeping me from panicky.

Opening the trap door quickly.

“Huh?” I see a person. Not Chat Noir. She? He? I can’t tell. They kinda look like their wear a Ladybug inspired costume. Their hood is blocking their face. But I feel their eyes on me. Looking them up and down-

“My tablet!” I said in shocked.

“Oh, so your Marinette Dupain-Cheng. I think you would like this back.” They hand the tablet to me. Getting a good look when I climb all the way up. They’re sitting and grabbing at there side.

“Are you okay? You're holding your side…” I ask as I take my tablet from them. “Who are you?” I thought out loud. Covering my mouth. “I’m sorry! I didn’t mean to say that. It's just you’re a random person on my balcony and--”

“No, no, no.” They laugh. “It's fine. I’m the Crimson Beetle, Ladybug’s successor. It’s a pleasure to meet you. I would stand to greet you, but a certain alley cat was mad that I was going to give this back to you.” I thought I saw a faint red glow coming from their hood when they mentioned an alley cat. Wait? Alley cat? Chat Noir.

“Alley cat… Chat Noir had my tablet?” My grip tightening. Why? Why would he steal my tablet? Tears threaten to fall. I won’t let them, I wasted too many already.

“Do you know him?” They asked.

“Kinda… He came around and we talked sometimes. Did he hurt you?” I sit in front of them. Guilt filling my stomach. They’re Ladybug successor, no doubt that Chat would not like them.

“He tried to cataclysm me. Luckily the cataclysm doesn’t destroy other heroes. Hurts like a bitch tho. Sorry, language. Any idea why he would steal that from you?”

“I’ve been avoiding him. I was akumatized… I-I-” My vision starts to get blurry.

“No need to explain it to me. Being akumatized is traumatic. I would know. Also if the alley cat was your friend I can only imagine the pressure you must have felt.” They move to sit next to me. The pat my shoulder.

Wiping my eyes. “So your Ladybug replacement?” Why did I say replacement? Maybe I’m still not over her ‘Ladybug, was always better than you. And now this person is too.’ I put a hand over my eye to shake off the thoughts.

“Nah, not a replacement. Successor. I was told that she retired after the last Akuma… I suppose that was you. Did you know her like you know alley cat?” Their voice is kind. At least it seems that Fu chose a nice person.

“Kinda... I helped her interact with the Ladybl-” The words got caught in my throat. “ The ladyblog in the past.” The Beetle tsked. “If you don’t like the blog I don’t blame you.” They pull their arm away.

“I don’t hate it... I don’t hate the idea of it. A blog to help people be aware of akumas could never be a bad thing. But that blog is a gossip blog at worse, at best a uniformed after school project. Also even if you only knew LB a little, the pressure you felt knowing both of Paris heroes must be sickening.” Beetle’s hand disappeared into their hood. ‘Imagine being her.. I guess you do now Beetle. If Tikki is the same with you as she was with me, your going to go mad also.’

“Doesn’t matter now. I’m leaving tomorrow anyway.”

“You're leaving Paris?” Their hood tilted to the side.

“No, kinda. I’m going to be in-”

“Stop. If you want to leave, then you can. You don’t have to explain anything.” Their voice sounded warm. I felt like I could trust them.

We sit in comfortable silence. After a few minutes, Beetle stands up.

“Are you feeling better?” I asked quickly. Standing up with them.

“Yeah, I am. Sorry alley cat stole your tablet. I’ll make sure he doesn’t do anything stupid when you leave. Miss Dupain-Cheng.” They nod to me. They make a cross over their heart, then make a cut-throat motion. I give a small smile.

“It’s not your fault, and thank you. I hope you give him shit if he tries anything.” They laugh.

“Language, Miss.” They pull out their yo-yo.

“Marinette. Call me Marinette”

“Miss Marinette. I hope where ever you go, you're happy.” With that, they swung away. I stand there watching them leave before the chill of the night goes across my neck. Turning I head back inside.

“Nh-what are you da-doing?” Pollen slurred speech startled me.

“Just finishing up. Go back to sleep.” I wave my tablet a little. Pollen seemed happy with the response and fall back into a peaceful slumber. Pollen was sleeping in a potted plant that I was going to bring with me. I put my tablet into my bag, and get changed into pajamas. Tomorrow. I smile at the thought of the future.

 Elsewhere in Paris.

Crimson Beetle P.O.V

 As I swing towards home, my vision becomes blurry. I almost fall in panic. Landing on a rooftop, I pull my hood down. Tears?

“Why am I crying?”

‘I’m sorry that would be me.’ Oh, Tikki.

“Why are you crying.. Oh, I guess in a way you also knew Miss Marinette huh.”

‘I did. I feel as though I failed her.’

“Don’t she seems like a strong lady. Everybody has bad and good days you know.” I shrug. I still remember being akumatized. Sometimes I have nightmares that I’ll wake up and be that monster again. “You and Ladybug could only do so much. Now I’m here to help. Don’t worry Tikki!” I pat my chest in hopes that she feels comfort from my words.

‘Thank you.’ Pulling my hood up. We still have to finish patrolling, then head home. I have a test tomorrow… I HAVE A TEST TOMORROW! I throw my yo-yo in a panic.

 Tomorrow 10:30

At Clover-Bloom Academy

Marinette P.O.V

I stand at the gates of Clover-Bloom. Nooroo, Pollen, and Trixx all in a stir in my bag. Clover-Bloom is less of a school, and more like a whole town. I look down at the map. My things were picked up and dropped off earlier today.

“Honestly I still can’t believe that I’m here.” I giggled with joy.

“I’m so happy Marinette!” Nooroo cheered.

“You worked hard for this Mari. You should be proud to be here.” Trixx grinned.

“Oh! I forgot to tell you,” I looked down at the map. “There is a new Ladybug. They go by the Crimson Beetle. We met last night.”

“A new Ladybug?! Are you okay?” Pollen asked in a hushed tone.

“Of course I’m okay. I have a new role. I need to save Duusu.” A smile formed. I will save Duusu. I know I will.

“HEY! Your the new girl right?” A loud voice screamed. I stopped and turned to the voice. A girl is rushing towards me, with another following behind her. “I’m Aurora!” She holds her hand out. I shake it. “This is Vivienne!” The other girl gives a shy smile.

“I’m Marinette.” I smile still shaking Aurora's hand.

“Where are you heading to?” Vivienne asked.

“I’m not sure.” I laughed. I wiggle the map slightly. “This place is bigger than I thought it would be.”

“We could show you around if you want,” Vivienne said. She pulls Aurora hand away. I give a smile in thanks.

“I would be grateful if you would. My room is building D 6-14. I’m not sure what that means.” Aurora's face seems to start glowing.

“You're my neighbor!” She squealed. “ I’m 6-13!”

“Your building D, sixth floor 14’th room,” Vivienne explains. “I’m D 7-3” I nod. “Would you like to head to your room, or walk around?”

“I’m not ready to unpack yet. So let's walk around then.”

“Oh, we can show you the Green House Cafe!” Aurora grabs both mine and Vivienne hands and starts pulling us. I laugh. I haven’t felt like this in a while. I look over at Vivienne, she mouth I’m sorry. She’s smiling tho. I can’t help but smile back. I think I’m going to do a lot of good here.

 End of Count Down.

Alright so like... since the hiatus is gonna start in February, I’m gonna make some announcements for this blog:

I will post content during the hiatus, but it’s primarily going to be my own content.

So stuff like any RWBY art or Shards & Wisps (The Roman and Neo comic). Which speaking of the latter...

I’m gonna be posting the comic throughout the hiatus. I know I set up due dates for releasing the first chapter but considering real life matters, building up my portfolio with original projects, and also the fact that I rushed into writing the story too soon, I’m gonna have to push the comic back unfortunately. I’m gonna keep on working on it throughout the hiatus. In fact, this is going to be the MAIN content you’ll see on sillytorch during the hiatus.

Aside from that comic, I DO have another RWBY stuff I’ll release hopefully before the finale:

Yup... first time doing an animatic. Got the drawing skills and the video editing skills and my new years resolution is to branch out artistically so what better way to do it than have Ruby and Neo meeting each other since the Fall of Beacon? I do have another animatic planned but I’ll save that for the hiatus. It’s Roman related (It’s from a scene from “Painting the Town”)

Next here’s a lot of RWBY sketches I never got to post at all. I was planning on digitally coloring them (one in particular) but I feel like it’ll take a lot of time lol (and I’m also trying to implement my Photoshop skills w/ my traditional art this year lol)

Lastly... oooh boy... so long story short, I had a Penny design I never finished back in November... (I was also recording it too ^,^’) so this week, I’m gonna try to finish it before the finale b/c I want a piece to dedicate for this Volume’s finale.

As for whatever video/audio shitposts I do... maybe I’ll make ONE video/audio shitpost this week. NO promises. But only cuz I love you guys and because the shitposts I’ve done so far this volume have been images and doodles so... yeah. Other than that, don’t expect much shitposts during the hiatus (aside from the Painting the Town animatic) mostly cuz I’m already swamped with a lot of projects right now and I can’t keep on adding more and more on my plate.

Anyways, TL;DR, here are my RWBY fan projects I’ll be doing from here on out as of January 26, 2020:

Ruby vs Neo Animatic

Painting the Town Animatic

RWBY Pencil Sketches (I’ll be posting today and one of them I will digitize this week)

Penny 2.0 Design/Speedpaint

Shards & Wisps comic (will be posted throughout the hiatus)

Anyways, later peoples!!

Update!

I’m done with the illustrations for the children’s book, meaning I can finally work more on my personal projects! I have been planning some of those for months now, so it’ll be nice to finally get started on them. Though, most of them aren’t that big, but I’ll still tell you about them:

- Making character refs for my ocs; I can be somewhat inconsistent with the way I draw my characters and I’ve been tweaking with their designs recently so those will definitely come in handy. I’ll probably make a poll to see in what order I’ll make them since I’m an indecisive bean XP

- Continuing the @ask-mist-and-crew​ comic. I’ve been meaning to do that for a while but I knew I needed to get a better grasp on the characters’ designs for that since things have been looking kinda wonky thus far. (I’ll probably redraw the first pages someday) Also, I don’t really get any asks (which is understandable since I haven’t brought attention to that blog for a long time) so if you want to read the first pages and send some, it would be appreciated! Though, I planned a plot point for the next page so it should be askless but I can always make it wait a few pages

- Making a new icon for the ask-mist-and-crew blog. That’s pretty self-explanatory, I think.

Now for THE big project:

-Trying out animation again! I already know what I want to do, but that’ll be a surprise for you guys. I’ll probably post some previews while I’m making it, too. Though, what you CAN know is that it’ll be an animatic on a music, featuring one of my otps! You can try and guess which one, if you’d like. I’ll give out a doodle if someone gets it right ;P

-while I’m doing all of those, I’ll try to finish the oc challenge I’ve been doing, so you’ll still see art while I’m doing the big stuff. I’ve also got some more traditional art to show, whenever I get the motivation to take pictures and my phone wants to cooperate.

Now, for those who read through all of that (or skipped through XP), here are some of my favorite drawings from the book:
