Y'know, I've never actually WATCHED The Nightmare Before Christmas, but I hear it's really good...the only bit I've ever seen on Youtube is when he sings "What's this?" though I find the parody version "The Fuck?" to be way funnier (obvs). xD


Anyway, enough random prattle, let's get down to an update of arts!


There's not a whole lot to round up really, but I'll start with Miraculous-related pics:

Miraculous Friends - Sabrina Raincomprix
Miraculous Friends - Chloe Bourgeois
Miraculous couples in the photobooth

The ninth and tenth pieces so far in my series of Miraculous dual portraits were Sabrina and Chloe, drawn by the lovely Taylaedraws. As with Marinette before, I decided to do a bit more than merely tweak their outfits - Chloe's family are well-off and she would want to appear as fashionable as possible, given (she thinks) she's friends with a top local fashion model. xD So I replaced her white slacks and ballet flats with a short skirt and some nice heels to show off her figure a little.

Sabrina. Where do I start...? Sabrina's outfit in the show was just a mess imho, a mix of trying to look smart/formal but casual at the same time. Formal brogues, but shorts and leggings with a button-down shirt and tank-top. It was like the designers just gave up and threw a bunch of clothes together. Hopefully my take on her outfit looks more like an attempt at a put-together casual outfit for the school environment, with cute frilly ankle-socks and yes, I actually googl'd "school sandals".

Then there was her superhero form. All I can say is...they really weren't even trying when they reached the dog miraculous, it just looked bad. That HAT! I asked Taylaedraws to come up with a completely new design based on an actual dog - if you know the UK children's magazine show "Blue Peter", you may already know who Petra was (the show's first pet). I therefore named this new design of Sabrina with the dog Miraculous "Petra", and she looks so much more like a cute dog/puppy! :heart:

After that, there was a nice surprise from xenokurisu when an outstanding set of three commissions from her were completed in one go. I'd asked for three bust commissions of Miraculous couples (including my human!Tikki character), and when I saw them I just fell in love. I also stuck them together to look like they were printed out at a photo booth, just because. :D

LeanAI
Royals of Dunwyn

The first of these was a cute little request of mine from a user who is no longer on DA (Ninety-nine.exe, iirc their name), using AI tools to create a likeness of my pretty kitty, Leana Castle.

The second is another adorable piece in my Gummi Bears series depicting Princess Sunni (of Gummadoon) and Princess Calla - and for the first time, with their magically-conceived daughter Princess Salli! She's such a cutie, waving from the balcony to the people of Dunwyn gathered below! Sunni's looking pretty cute too, casually perched on the balcony to get a better view. Salli is only 8 years old here, but already as tall as her momma Sunni - and still growing!


Now, the big question is...what else has there been in terms of arts? Wellllll....nothing really. But I did do some work this last week to streamline my Animated Stars folder a bit. Namely:

Disney Stars grid
Pixar Stars grid
More Disney Stars grid
Dreamworks Damsels grid

All four grids have nice shiny new titles to make them look better. And before, they were made as animated GIFs, switching back and forth between titles and character names every second. The image files were smaller, but this was mainly because animated GIFs are limited to 256 colours, so all the little images were compressed with colour dithering. Now, I think they look much better - and the alternating text has been replaced by simply writing both character AND title underneath; and in fonts that are more instantly readable than the Disney font "Waltograph". xD

You might also notice a couple of new blank spots have been opened at the bottom of the first two grids. This is because...


...I'm commissioning again! So, at the moment, these are the commissions that I've got lined up for the weeks to come:

  • There is a Miraculous comic in the works since mid-September with the assistance once again of the lovely Taylaedraws - the title is "Love at First Height". Linearts will be available in the 2023 Commissions premium folder, but the comic will only become available publicly when it is complete, and will be released all in one go. So you'll have to wait. Page 2 of 6 is almost done, and the whole comic is already paid for, so hopefully in November this will come out in full. ^^

  • I commissioned @j8d last week to make three new portraits for my Animated Stars series (above) - Ember from Elemental, Izzy from Lightyear, and Maridian (sp?) from Strange World. Sketches are already complete for all three.

  • I commissioned quickbutt yesterday to make another cute little shippy pic of characters from My Little Pony - this time taking a favourite pair of mine from the slice-of-life series "My Little Pony Tales" for all you older ponyfan nerds! ^^

  • I also commissioned Shieltar yesterday (I have been a bit busy, lol) to make a fun Hallowe'en-y pic of the Harmoney family (Grace, Mark, Princess, and Luna) from his comic "Birth of Equestria" going Trick-or-Treating. ^^

There are also a few other older commissions which are still sitting "in the works" so to speak, but chasing artists for commissions isn't really my style, especially as I like to commission the same artists again and again. ^_~ Even though a few of those outstanding commissions date back to the pre-Covid era...

It keeps getting warmer and drier, and then colder and wetter again. I wish autumn would just settle in already, I'm ready for the cooler damp weather to just be here! ^^


I've had a few new quite nice commissions since my last journal about a month ago, and some rather big news for my other account, Power-and-Chaos. But let's deal with this gallery first, okay? Okay. ^^


Sammi - then and now!
Future family portrait
(Sketch comm) Pillow fight!

Firstly there are these three! The first is my school cutie Sammi (who's also a member of the Ocean Lolis over at my RTCF gallery), comparing how she looked when I created her vs her new design. @J8d always draws her so adorably, so of course I asked him to draw both old and new Sammi here too. :heart:

Second is my girl of the future, Jet Flight, posing on board the SS Babel with her teen daughter Star and cute lil girl Space! Such an adorable family portrait, realised beautifully by amiwakawaiidesu. :aww:

Lastly was a sketch commission I bought from xenokurisu a little while back, which is of Katie (Kate Pye, aka Toots) and Minnie the Minx (aka Hermione Makepeace!) enjoying a playful pillow fight on a sleepover.


Miraculous Friends - Zoe Lee
Miraculous Friends - Alya Cesaire
Miraculous Friends - Marinette Dupain-Cheng
HIM - Redux
Mojo Jojo - Redux

And the other batch over the last month have all been made by Taylaedraws, and belong to two of my series:

  • Zoe Lee/Vesperia, Alya Cesaire/Rena Rouge, and Marinette Dupain-Cheng/Ladybug for my Miraculous Friends series (not to mention, added into rotation for my desktop wallpaper ^^)

  • HIM and Mojo Jojo, for the redux of my Powerpuff Family AU. They both look so delightfully evil in their own unique ways!


And that's it for the month! Not many new arts, but good quality and big ones! Do you have any favourites? ^^


I've just placed two more commissions to Taylaedraws for Chloe/Queen Bee, and Sabrina/Miss Hound (although she will be significantly redesigned), so watch out for those in the next few weeks! ^^


...O yes, there was one other thing - I mentioned at the beginning an update for my Power-and-Chaos account too. And here it is - remember that messy "test print" I did of my book so far? (I accidentally deleted the original post, but you can still see it in my previous journal xD) It's now been upgraded... (story's still not finished, and the cover layout isn't finalised either, but the WIP looks way better already doesn't it?)

My First Book!

Shit's really starting to feel real over here! ^^

Hey all, how are you holding up? It's been about what, 6 weeks since my last art roundup journal, and the temperatures in the UK have climbed continuously in that time. Today was 30°C - I think the first 30 day this year round my way - and I'm legitimately ready for winter to return already! Sorry to all those of you who love the summer and getting out and enjoying the sunny weather - but I don't! This body is built for cold weather, and the heat makes me feel physically unwell. Basically I'm gonna feel sick af from now until September probably, when the temperatures begin to dip back down closer to 20...

Anyway, enough of my griping about the heat, how many arts have there been recently? Well let's get started...

Princess Anna and Queen Elsa - Frozen Fever
Meet Salli Gummi!
Apotheosis V - Olympian

Actually there haven't been many, it's been a pretty lean month - I went and signed up for a correspondence degree, so I'm trying to save a bit of money to pay for that by next January. But here are the first cute pics:

Anna and Elsa as they appeared together in Frozen Fever. That was such a cute short! I wish it had been a bit longer, it was adorable seeing Anna taking care of sick Elsa at the end. ^^

Salli Gummi, my OC who is the magically-created daughter (courtesy of uncle Zummi) of the royal couple, Princesses Calla and Sunni. This makes Salli the Crown Princess of both Gummadoon and Dunwyn. <3

In my Powerpuff "Apotheosis" series, amiwakawaiidesu came up with an idea of how Robyn might appear as an Olympian goddess, the next stage in that series. Dunno about you lot, but I'd worship her! ^^

Miraculous Friends - Mylene Haprele
Miraculous Friends - Kagami Tsurugi
Sandra Keane - Redux
Emerald Utonium - Redux
A fully-booked calendar

And here are the rest, all by aerodynamicT!

In the "Miraculous Friends" series, the next two entries I commissioned were Mylene/Polymouse, and Kagami/Ryuko.

In my "Powerpuff Family AU" set of characters, there are Pokey Oaks Elementary's principal Sandra Keane; and Emerald Utonium, the daughter of Bonnie and Brianna. ^^

And then there was this beautiful group wallpaper of all the Loliday girls - my original six and amiwakawaiidesu's addition Lakshmi Diwali. I absolutely adore this and it will definitely be my desktop wallpaper during the holiday season! <3


And actually, that's it! Fewer commissions in these weeks, but a couple of them were bigger - particularly the Lolidays desktop wallpaper one. ^^


So what's on the horizon? Well...

  • aerodynamicT is currently drawing two more portraits for my "Powerpuff Family AU" series, which are the evil villains Mojo Jojo and HIM! Mwahahaha...

  • @J8d is currently drawing a portrait of my OC Sammi in her St Lolita's uniform - both her original and her updated appearances. ^^


And then there's my current writing project...my first novel: "Space Enough And Time"! I'm commissioning cover art for it from my good friend Tamara (TychyTamara), and here is a sneaky little peek at it so far...!

Sneak peek!

Happy New May!

4 min read

I saw the King's coronation on Saturday - it was, of course, absolutely magnificent. Well I mean technically, I saw it on Sunday...I had to go into the office on Saturday morning to finish off some work that absolutely couldn't wait until the office re-opens on Tuesday; what's even sadder is, I was one of FOUR in the office who had to do this! Still, at least we kept each other company as we each worked on our own tasks. xD


Once again, I've left it months between art roundups (last one in late-January), so this'll be another big roundup journal for you all...

Miraculous Friends - Juleka Couffaine
Miraculous Friends - Rose Lavillant
Miraculous Friends - Alix Kubdel

Starting off with a batch of commissions from aerodynamicT, these are what I've been calling "dual portraits" of Miraculous Ladybug characters; each showcases one of the Paris superheroines and their civilian identity side by side. ^^ So far, the first three have been Juleka/Purple Tigress, Rose/Pigella, and Alix/Bunnyx.

Loliday Legs
Loliday handover
Lakshmi Diwali - a Loliday girl
Katie Pye and 'pyePod'
Twirly Tikki
A Laughing Pregnancy
Falling For Each Other...

Next up are a collection of very lovely requests and a gift from amiwakawaiidesu: The very lovely legs of my group of Loliday cuties; Valerie Valentine and Esther Easter exchanging gifts in the handover between their holidays; Lakshmi Diwali, a new Loliday to add to the group (and a gift from Amiwakawaiidesu); Katie (Toots in the Beano) relaxing and listening to her favourite song; human Tikki in her casual outfit; Windrunner getting adorably tickled from the inside out by her own unborn baby pegataur; and finally, a fun piece of two girls who collided in such a passionate kiss, they couldn't keep their balance no matter how hard they try! :giggle:

(OC fic) A Taur Family
(MLB fic) Delicious Cheesecake
[STORY] A Girl in Time: 2192 - First Steps
[STORY] A Girl in Time: 2000 - A Highland Fling

Then, we have some short stories I've been writing!

First, a series of very cute vignettes featuring my Centoran taurs Winni, Light, and Sky (and later on, their daughter Beau as well). aerodynamicT's art was incorporated as an illustration into the second vignette.

Then, a much shorter fanfic of some Juleka/Rose cuteness, built around another of aerodynamicT's arts. ^^

Then, a short story about my future-girl, Jet, experiencing moving from Mars to Earth when she is 6 years old, and why she has to get used to wearing hover-sandals.

And finally, a short story around the scene of Molly smooching Holly at a Christmastime wedding reception, drawn by amiwakawaiidesu.

Dumbing of Age - Joyce's secret fantasy
DreamUp Creation - Bethany Snyder-Utonium

The next three are completely unrelated. The first was my make-out commission reward from itswalky last year for supporting his "Dumbing of Age book 11" Kickstarter. Annoyingly, I missed his Kickstarter this year for DOA book 12. xD The second is a Deviantart DreamUp pic, that sort-of depicts Bethany Snyder-Utonium in near-realism. The final one is one of two commissions that PompSquirrel has owed me since about 2016, of Roxanne from "A Goofy Movie". Yes you read that correctly - 2016! xD

The Lot! (so far)
Professor John Utonium - Redux
Poppy Utonium - Redux
Bea Utonium - Redux

Then three more additions to the redux of my Powerpuff Family AU - Professor John Utonium, his late wife Poppy (Penelope) and their daughter Bea (Beatrice) who is missing presumed dead (she actually was saved by the Powerpuff Girl's daughters using a time portal from the future, but they don't know this as it hasn't yet happened for them xD). As well as the lot, so far! ^^

Gummi Lullabi
Gummi Midwiferi

And finally, two more pieces in my Gummi Princess series. Sunni helping her wife Calla to get some much-needed rest when their little bub won't stop squirming, by singing the baby to sleep - only it works on mommy Calla as well (aww...); and then, it's time for the big day - with Grammi to lend a hand...er, paw? xD

Petite Maman - Tu Seras Toujours Ma Meilleure Amie

And over at Power-and-Chaos , I wrote this piece as a cute little sequel to the French language film "Petite Maman" (I highly recommend it! The film, that is...and if you want to read my story, do so after seeing the movie).


Now, what about new commissions in progress? Well... 1) I'm commissioning quickbutt to draw Sunni and Calla's daughter - her name is Salli Gummi :heart:

2) I'm commissioning aerodynamicT to draw a Miraculous dual portrait of Mylene/Polymouse.

3) I'm commissioning J8d to draw a portrait of Queen Elsa and Princess Anna as they were in "Frozen Fever" for my Disney Stars series.

4) I have asked Shieltar if I could commission a pic of my centaurs from him. ^^


But the biggest piece of news is a new project I'm working on...

Codenamed: SEAT

Well I joked in September about making another journal again before the new year, after my previous journals were in May and August respectively. Then suddenly, it's 2023 and I realise that I've not posted another artwork roundup again in for four months. I am hopeless sometimes...

Oh hey though, real world bit of news first: I took one of my accounting exams at the start of December, and was elated to discover on 16 January that I had managed to pass! One of my colleagues also passed an exam at the same sitting, while our manager took two exams in the same sitting as us, and sadly failed both; she's rather bummed out about that, understandably.

Anyway, moving on, there's a lot of art to round up...

Pretty Piper Pinwheeler
Tiny girls
AINBO: Spirit of the Amazon - Zumi and Ainbo
Music and Dance (suggestion to Amiwakawaiidesu)
Holly with Christmas-Birthday gift

The first three are all cute portraits by @j8d - we have Piper Pinwheeler from the fun movie "Robots"; The Borrower Arrietty from the Studio Ghibli movie that shares her name, with MJ from the western animation titled "Epic"; and Ainbo with her adoptive sister Zumi from "AINBO: Spirit of the Amazon".

The final two are of my girls from the past, Amanda and Moira, sharing some private time together; Moira loves to dance, and Amanda is accompanying her on the piano. And my modern-day girl Holly Mackenzie, with a lovely and thoughtful gift of a refracting telescope (Holly is an avid stargazer as a teen) for her 16th birthday, both drawn by amiwakawaiidesu


School's Back From The Summer!
Sydney Kate Pye
Beano - Movie theatre fun
Holly and Ivy - mother and daughter at play

The next selection are all Beano pictures drawn by the lovely aerodynamicT. First there is the popular, young and pretty teacher Miss (Anisha*) Mistry striking an eye-catching pose on top of her classroom desk. Next is a fantasy portrait of Katie Pye, aka Toots, at ages 9, 12, and 15. Third is boyfriend and girlfriends Peter "Pieface" Shepherd, Jenny, and Angel "Angelface" De Testa not caring about the movie they paid to supposedly watch. The last is Ivy (Terrell*), known as Ivy the Terrible, and her mother (Holly Terrell) playing.

*names in brackets here are my own headcanoned names for characters who've never had names officially given to them. ^^


Smoulder's Ticklish Cuteness (Dress Version)
Hallie Hallowe'en, everybody!
Cute Vexy Smurf
Too much Grace?

The next four pics are by a selection of artists.

The first was an alternative version of a picture made by Caroos-Dungeon of Smolder getting tickle-teased into a mess by some helpful friends, which after some discussion on the Derpibooru gallery it was decided would look even cuter if she had the correct number of toes (the original gave Smolder more human-looking feet) and wearing her "pretty as a princess" dress. This opinion proved to be very correct.

The second is a gorgeous portrait of one of my Loliday girls, Hallie Hallowe'en, painted by iDFER. This was also used as my desktop wallpaper from Hallowe'en week up until later November, when it was replaced with a combination of all three Loliday pics he's painted for me (you can see a cropped banner of them over my gallery, but the other two pics are still private unless iDFER releases them, sorry!)

The third is a cute little portrait of Vexy Smurf in an obviously very flirty mood. Some lucky Smurfette is going to be in for a world of the most delicious trouble very soon! This was drawn by quickbutt

The final one was a fun piece I commissioned from Shieltar, of his original character Grace Harmoney (from the webcomic "Birth of Equestria", having built what she thought was an interdimensional portal (she's a young M.A.D. Scientist) but it turns out to be a time portal! All the girls and ponies are Grace from different points in the comic's timeline, apart from her eldest daughter Tia peeking round the door at the back, and a younger Tia with younger Grace poking through the portal. ^^


The final group are all characters from my Powerpuff Family AU verse, and they are the daughters of the original Puffs. From left to right, there are: twins Breeze and Bonnie (Bons to her close friends and gf) and little Bambi (also called Bam-bam) are the magical lesbian spawn of Blossom and Bubbles; while Bethany and Brianna (usually called Bree) are likewise the magical lesbian spawn of Buttercup and Robyn. ^^

Smol Pipp

And lastly... I made this! ^^ It is a very tiny pixel art of the always-smol Pipp Petals from the G5 My Little Pony series, as an example of the kinds of pixel arts I'm available to do on commission. (I'm also equally willing to take on art of words written in Sherman's Gallifreyan!)


And second lastly...

TLC 2: The Cloisters

This is a short story that follows after my earlier Doctor Who fanfic "T.L.C. (TARDIS Loving Care)" which is in my Power-and-Chaos gallery (as is this one). Except I didn't write this one...but that's all I'll say; you'll just have to check it out to learn more about this development! ^^
