Month: January 2021

I’ve been hankering to do another one of these dumps lately. 😛 I had a backlog of doodles and sketches and WIP’s that were just kind of asking for it, ha. Here’s at least some of those! Hope you enjoy. :3

Today (Jan 17th) is Masky’s “birthday” so of course I had to do a Thing. ^w^ It seems that this makes it 12 whopping years since this highly-inspirational lady entered my sleeping mind, and if I’ve counted correctly(!), she is 35 years old in real time. 😛

As to the SUBJECT of this. Oh MAN, you guys, I have had this concept kicking around for at least EIGHT YEARS… Masky wrote this little journal entry about her bonding-moment with a spider waaaaaay back in 2013, and here’s the proof (“consider it a sneak-peek”, indeed! Took long enough for the FULL peek!! xD). Back then I made a number of attempts to illustrate this scene in various ways, and could never seem to feel satisfied with any of them. Which is why this bit of Masky’s journal is eight years late to the world’s eyeballs. x’D

(Hopefully the text is readable… it’s that font I made out of Masky’s handwriting again :’D)

My “New Year’s Doodle” which I started drawing in the last hour of 2020, and carried on drawing as 2021 took over. 😀 I guess the following things: I was reflecting on the actual positive stuff I personally experienced in 2020… which in large part was Accidental Elemental getting giant developments… and also feeling “tentatively hopeful” about the year to come. So therefore the result is two AE characters looking like they might feel that same feeling, ha. =P

Help, you guys, I love drawing these two together, aaaa. <3 Even if some of these depictions might depart from the actual canon of the story to some degree or other, I can’t help it anyway. 😀 Perhaps one day, when AE has a far greater page-count than today, it will become clear why. ^w^

(The only thing I don’t really fancy about this drawing is how everybody’s legs seemed to come out rather twiggy in proportion to the rest of them… I managed to do that to both of them and not realize until it was too late. (shrug) Guess it was just time for a Twiggy-Legged Drawing. xD )
