I think this little guy might show up in Dreaming Esmeralda’s third installment. Drawing this was kind of a way to take a whole lot of mental notes on him. 😛

In times of trials both outer and inner, one’s muse might not sing as readily through the clouds of emotional dissonance. But still, one seeks to hear one’s muse, to help ease the very burden that may perhaps be causing said muse’s quiet spells. So, what does one do?

REDRAW A BUNCH OF OLD STUFF! >:D

Yeah, I think that’s what’s been happening to me with all these redraws. xD Masky’s not as loud as she could be, probably because of all the trials I’ve been trudging through lately. Often I’m not very in-resonance with myself these days. But I still want to nourish that warm spot in my chest where Masky lives, and drawing her is usually the go-to method of doing that. But alas, the lessening of inspiration presents less ideas for new drawings. So, when in doubt, do like Disney and remake the old stuff. :’D

As to this. Man… I loved the old one. I mean, it’s in my ‘personal favorites’ folder on deviantArt (and not going anywhere!). But the NEW one, boy.

<3 <3 <3

…Can I keep her? …Can she be mine? Can she be my person?? :’D

…I REALLY like how it came out, in other words. xD I mean, I can still see some flaws but I feel like the Drawing Goddess was at least mostly with me here. 😀 Masky was supposed to have a neutral expression but for some reason, she looks really SAD in the new one! :'( Just… her deep melancholy is just leaking out all over the place somehow! I just want to launch myself in there and give her the biggest hug in the universe. …Well, I want to do that pretty much all the time… xD… but especially when she’s sad. <:’3

(Also I notice she came out at a slight angle rather than facing us head-on like in the old one… interesting how that just kind of happened. xP )

(I put this on deviantArt several days ago, but I guess I got so caught up in preparing for my algebra final that I forgot to also put it here. D: Oh well, here it is now. xD)

~,,o <( Looking considerably less wingy than usual, Story.

Me: <( Hee-HEE! I look kinda like a Tapper, don’t I?

~,,o <( Reasonably, yes. But I know ruddy well that’s not what you are. I’m not about to entertain you by going all shiny-eyed like a ninny and saying: (hands upon cheeks; speaks in a high-pitched breathless tone) OH, me oh my, what is this ODD little TAPPER?? I’ve never SEEN such a thing! My simple Esmeraldian brain cannot possibly think past the world I hail from, so a Tapper it MUST be!

Me: <( (Hearty, slightly-bleating laugh) I LOVE how smart you are. Will you marry me?

~,,o <( You know, Tappers don’t have vocal chords, Story. If you want to be one, you might try out that nifty little feature.

Me: <( Hah! I don’t think so… I have NO idea how long this form will stick around, so I’m going to enjoy it to its fullest! B-AAA-AH-AH!!

~,,o <( Oh, jolly good. Great anticipation is mine. -_-

😀 😀 😀 Shortly after my Goat-‘Koiya revelation, this li’l dialogue happened between me and Masky, and even then I KNEW I would have to doodle it out. It took me a while due to illustration projects overtaking my drawing hand, but now I’ve finally gotten to it!

So yes, ‘Koiya’s Goat-Mode is still going on, and it’s been quite fun feeling so goaty! ^w^ I considered that Goat-‘Koiya’s face looked just slightly too ‘horsey’ in the first doodle of her… I think goats tend to have a bit more ‘swoop’ in their snoots, rather than an arrow-straight snout. So I gave Sekoiya some ‘swoop’. :’D
