Today's warm up! This is not my usual subject material, but Kirby the Elephant is just too cute not to draw! Everyone is in love with her goofy googly eyes.

Hello! I'm still alive. Been very busy with real life stuff, but I'm still working on my Catfish universe stories in the background. Here's some robot Bigbee doodles!

I feel like this is exactly how Silva and Kikyo's first date went.

Updating Bigbee's design a bit more for the next "Catfish" universe story! Bigbee's design has gone through a LOT of iterations. Here are some of the first I started with.

Drawing mechanics has never been a strong skill of mine. But over the past few months I've been growing to love it more and more. I even took a props and weapons design course last month and learned a TON about shape language and how to simplify complex mechanical objects! I still have a lot to learn, but I'm happy with Bigbee's current design now. I think it really suits them! :)

As I work on updating Catfish, I'm also working on updating some character designs! It helps me get into the heads of my characters. Can you believe this is the same person? lol Out of costume, I wanted to make Kika's outfit a bit more, well, comfortable. After being in a costume that consists of a wig, false eyelashes, colored circle contacts, and a push up bra made by the gods, I'd want to wear something comfortable too! Ahh yes. Out of costume, Kika's got a bit of an obsession with the anime "Mecha Mobility Suit." I'll have to design her travel bag and phone, but I imagine both are decked out with MMS charms and patches as well. Don't bring it up our she'll never shut up about it!

Doing a little character exploring and redesigning while I work on editing Catfish. Think of these changes as a "version 2" more than a rewrite. The original story was quite literally a first draft, so another attempt with fresh eyes and a whole new understanding of writing has me excited to explore the story again! I'm rethinking what Kika would wear as part of her normal clothes. She'd most likely want to wear something comfortable after being in her idol/streaming costume all day. No make up, messy hair from being under a wig all day, and lose fitting clothes.

Fic rewrites

So, I've been wanting to update my Catfish series for a while. I've learned a lot about writing these past 3 years and see a lot of things I can improve upon now. I wanted to ask some of the other fic writers here what the consensus is on rewriting a past story. Do you scrap the old version and repost a new one? Leave the old one up and just post an updated version?

[tashatoons]

If you see this on your dashboard, reblog this, NO MATTER WHAT and all your dreams and wishes will come true.

[tashatoons]

I'm doing it!

I know the Ao3 name "Spacehotdog" isn't remotely close to this one, but that is also me.
