Hair Tie

(Because I couldn't think of a better name for this sequence lol)

I'd mentioned wanting to draw Luau reacting to seeing Seabreeze with her hair down for the first time a week or two ago, and when I said last night that I had just finished drawing something "very, very cute :3" it was referring to this hehe.

This would be like, not long after Luau and Seabreeze met, since Seabreeze doesn't usually like having her hair down in public, she only takes her hair out of her ponytail at home. She also doesn't generally like other people touching her hair, but once they get together, she lets Luau touch it and sometimes put flowers in it <33

I am soo happy with Luau's face at the end here, that's pretty much the whole reason I wanted to make this haha. As you guys have seen, I have been thinking about Seabreeze a lot lately, so it was fun getting to draw and develop her more! I definitely need to draw Luau and Seabreeze together more as well since this is rlly only the second time I've made something like this despite having Seabreeze for over a year at this point lol

We are also ignoring the fact that Seabreeze would not have that much hair if her ponytail in the first part was as big as it's shown to be, I just wanted an excuse to draw Big Flowy Hair lol

Big Dragon Friend

My half of an art trade with @macaronichewtoyz of Dragon Macaroni! [it/he/they] Always fun to get to draw character designs/types that are a bit more out of my usual comfort zone :3 Very glad I finally got the opportunity to draw this beast hehe

Team 2024 Takeoff!

I'd been thinking abt drawing all four of the characters I got/made this year in one piece as an end of year thing and decided to go for it!

Once I had the idea to have Astro, Kickflip and Soda flying on/with Tarmac, I knew I had to do something with that haha. This is the first time I drew Tarmac as significantly bigger than the rest of my OCs, which is an idea I've mentioned a couple times before. I do like the idea of Bigful Tarmac, so I'll probably keep that going in the future haha. I also hadn't drawn Tarmac specifically since May so it was nice to bring him back too hehe.

Those of you who know me and my feelings with characters know that it takes a lot for me to want to make a new character, and even more so to adopt a character I didn't create, so getting four new OCs in the span of a year is exceedingly rare for me lol. But it happened this year, I adopted Astro, and make Tarmac, Soda and Kickflip and they've all found their places in my OC lineup haha. I think the last time I made/got this many characters in one year was 2021 with Pebble, Luau, Rye and Pumpernickel.

I'm sure you guys have seen how much of my brainspace Tarmac, Soda and Kickflip have taken up this past year haha. I'm also glad that those three, Kickflip especially, have resonated with my friends and mutuals as well lol. Anyways, I guess you can kind of consider this an end-of-year kind of piece. I do have one other end-of-year thing I wanna try and do, but I have a trade and belated holiday gifts I want to try and get to first, so we'll see how things go over

Hope you guys like this piece ^^

Bananular!

Birthday gift for @xxthunderthedragonxx !!! I have wanted to draw this beast so bad for MONTHS and this gave me an excuse to not have to wait for Art Fight to do it :3 I think I've mentioned this before but Banana Bread is prob my fav character of urs, with Splash being a VERY close second hehe

Happy bday again!! I hope you have a great one! :D

Happy Comfort Character Day, Tacoma Nation!!! Thank you again for collabing with me Clem, this was an absolute blast! :D

It is comfort character day!!! Collab between me & my dear friend @tacomanarrows <3 Info on who did what under the cut!

The initial sketch was by me! We both drew each others comfort characters, so I did Jenny (Wayside) and Bolt (Bolt), and he did Leafpool (wc) and Louie (Pikmin)! I edited them all together and then Tacoma did the lovely bg. It was a ton of fun !!! Thanks for doing this with me Tac!!!

Being part Space Shuttle means Tarmac’s dark markings absorb the heat of re-entry into the atmosphere from space so he doesn’t get hurt, but the experience does make him a bit, uh, jittery

Midnight Flight

Okay so yknow how I said the other night how I was thinking abt making Tarmac's pads be able to light up like aircraft ID lights at night? Well I decided to run with that lol (plus the star on his vertical stabilizer hehe)

I am SO HAPPY with how this came out!! It was my first time shading anything legitimately in like,, three and a half years I think(??) so forgive me if it doesn't make much sense lighting-logic-wise </3 I love how the vibe came out tho and I very much appreciate FireAlpaca's gif making feature lol

The two frames I used for this (one with the lights, one without) is below the cut if you wanna see them :]

KickFloat Greeting Card

Had this silly idea for what a holiday card from Kickflip and his partner Floatie (who's owned by @macaronichewtoyz :3) would look like. I imagine this would happen at some point every year, so Floatie should probably invest in some plastic (ie non-breakable) ornaments at this point lol

I've wanted to draw Kickflip and Floatie together for awhile now and I'm glad I finally got a good opportunity hehe. It was fun to draw Kickflip again too, since I think abt him all the time guys like u don't understand I love this little goober so much

Sailor Starburst!

"First Mate Starburst reporting for duty, Captain Seabreeze!"

I watched a documentary the other day that mentioned a ship turning to starboard and immediately thought "Starboard, Starburst! Wait a minute, I can do something with that! :0" So I decided to make a companion piece to my Captain Seabreeze drawing from Halloween :3

The outfit here isn't nearly as involved as that one was, but I still think this came out rlly cute! It also felt like it'd been WAY too long since I last drew Starburst (I last drew her fully back in June) and as basically the mascot of my online presence, she gets some much deserved time back in the spotlight <33

Hey @buggyfangs I made a thing :3 (it's a video with sound hehe)

Last Blast of Summer!

Seabreeze, Luau and Soda have one last beach day in before the summer comes to a close!

I'd mentioned that Luau and Seabreeze would be friends with Soda before I think, given how they all share a love for water/the beach, so I wanted to finally make something with that idea! I thought of that thing you sometimes see surfers do where they run towards the water with their surfboard held above their head like this. Of course, it started off as just a Seabreeze idea but then it evolved to include Luau and I swapped out the surfboard for Soda :3

It was great to draw Soda again! I hadn't drawn him since before Art Fight and he's been in my brain a lot again lately bc I love him so much <33 This also helped me to flesh out sort of, how big I want him to be I guess lmao. I've drawn him smaller than both Luau and Seabreeze in my Seafoam vs Stardust pre-Art Fight piece, but I'll probably just make it official that he can like, scale up and down in terms of size depending on what he wants to do and who wants to float on/with him hehe. Which to be fair is an idea I've been toying with (aheehee) for awhile now, so maybe this is just the first depiction of that :3
