Sketch WIPs & QOTW! 🎨 ✨ ❤️
Added 2025-02-04 12:20:26 +0000 UTCHello Ali cats, I hope your week is going well so far! :) I wanted to share some character sketch wips of upcoming audios. The first being my character Ash enjoying a tasty donut (based on our recent poll lol), a panda girl who loves candy, and lastly a yandere nurse (this one is a two part YouTube story coming out soon!). I also posted a sketch WIP of my characters Lapis and Padpa over on Twitter/X for those who follow me there ✨
It’s been a while since I’ve asked this question and as a cat it’s only natural that I’m curious :P Out of all my characters/audios (both here and on YouTube) which has been your favorite?
Comments
lol I dunno if I consider the art great anymore, I was still knocking the dust off at that point but I appreciate it nonetheless! You know how artists are about most of their old work though, we’re our own worst critics haha

2025-02-08 01:44:30 +0000 UTCIt's alright... It'll be fiiiiineee; China has such a vested marketing interest in the Giant Pandas at this point that even if they're not doing so hot as a species, they've got an insane amount of intervention going for them. xD Besides... Red 'Pandas' are the superior variant and they're doing fine. :3 ❤️

2025-02-08 00:59:49 +0000 UTCOh wow, I didn’t know all that about pandas. I really appreciate you taking the time to enlighten me! Usually I’ll research said animal when I do a monster girl but this one is more on the cutesy/human side so I didn’t do that this time around. But that is really cool to know! I mean, not really cool for the pandas…to not be able to mate or produce enough milk is pretty rough for an animal D:

2025-02-08 00:46:05 +0000 UTCThere was one time we had a legit roach infestation in my building and they gave us a notice at 6pm, that we'd have to essentially move out the next day and clear out cabinets and closets and what not D: and oooh... yea, sounds right that it'd be one of those 3 lol
Delta
2025-02-08 00:37:39 +0000 UTCI hate not getting notice ahead of time- especially with stuff like that. Good to know they came early :D As for the first one to reach that, now I can’t remember…it was either a bat girl, the owl or my old leopard girl xD
alichu
2025-02-08 00:16:40 +0000 UTCI appreciate you sharing your favorites Succotash, thank you! :D It means a lot to hear why you like each one too, especially the alchemist one! I know the dark stuff isn’t for everyone but those types of stories I find myself really putting my all into. Not that I don’t with my other ones but you get what I mean- it feels more natural writing wise! So for that reason it makes me happy when people tell me they like those too ^_^ I still remember how great that drawing of the centipede girl was that you did! I have a little folder with all the art I’ve gotten from people so it’s got a nice little home in there :P ❤️

2025-02-07 23:57:53 +0000 UTCI remember this question! In fact it’s been almost exactly one year since you asked it lol, I scrolled back to see if my answers have changed at all. And my answer’s still pretty much the same aside from one addition but I’ll post it again for convenience. Basically I have five favorites for entirely different reasons Tied for first are “Mommy Girlfriend Helps You Relax/Grizzly Bear Helps You Sober Up” You know why man, I gotta type haha In no particular order here are the rest! “Gardevoir Comforts You” Because it was the first audio I listened to from you that introduced me to your art and audios, so it’s weirdly sentimental. I know I’m a sap. “Escaping From An Alchemy Lab” This one still stands out as your darkest audio in my opinion, and for that alone it remains as one of my favorites. Although “enjoy” it may not be the right word, it was heckin sad haha, so I like it in kind of a weird way. But that’s why it stands out so much and I still remember to this day! “Centipede Girl Protects Her Nest” Another sentimental one, this one’s special because this character was the first fanart I did for you. Your support gave me the boost I needed to start drawing again, and you were a big reason for me finally getting a tablet later down the line! So thanks!

2025-02-07 08:40:28 +0000 UTCI will be eagerly awaiting the Glaceon appearance, believe you me~! For the moment though, little Flareon won me over handily. Even though the hierarchy of my eeveelution favourites would suggest Umbreon would top the list until Glaceon arrives, I really formed a soft spot for our fiery ball of floof. Maybe it's because the MC portrayal in that particular audio seems so pitiful by comparison; but she struck me as very responsible and grounded. Kindness and competency are two traits I tend to value most highly. ❤️ As for Pandas, eehh.. We could label parts of my opinions as personal bias, but in general I just consider them to be a very ill-adapted species that was headed for failure even without human influence. xD Of course as many defenders of Pandas will quickly point out, human industrialization has dramatically sped/impacted the way their species has struggled... But even prior to that they were not a very successful species. They exist in a very particular elevation band due to their dietary selection, which in and of itself is an insane choice (bamboo? really?) for a theoretically omnivorous animal of their size. This forces them to expend an actually ridiculous amount of time foraging/eating just to reach caloric needs, but the diet itself is nutrient poor and comes with other issues when producing milk for rearing young... And thats IF they can even mate on their own in the first place. >.< Ultimately, they're fun and cute and all, but at this point without human intervention and conservation efforts they would be on a fast track to extinction? At least that’s my take I guess. They kinda missed the Darwinian bus.

2025-02-06 05:51:23 +0000 UTCThank you so much Strobi! I appreciate you sharing your favorites. I really love the shoeshiner character so it made me smile to read you did too ^_^ I know it’s probably obvious but feline characters are definitely a big favorite of mine :3 I hope your week is going well and thank you again for your comment! ❤️

2025-02-06 05:42:21 +0000 UTCHello Berry, I’m happy to hear your week is going well! :D Mine is too, just trying to catch up on some sleep currently. For some reason I keep waking up before my alarm lol ; w ; I really appreciate you sharing your favorites, thank you! It makes me happy when I read you all like my rambles. I like talking with you all so it means a lot that you enjoy those too. It’s also fun commenting to you all on them! ^_^
alichu
2025-02-06 05:40:10 +0000 UTCWell, I know it's toxic for dogs and bears. So I'm just assuming it would be toxic for Panda bears too :P
Moy
2025-02-06 05:22:08 +0000 UTCThank you so much Moy, I’m glad you’re enjoying how they are coming along :D Wait, is xylitol bad for pandas??? I suppose this gum will have to be monster girl/panda friendly- no xylitol! lol I really appreciate you sharing your favorite characters/audios. It makes me happy that there’s so many you like! ^_^ I admit the goth moth is probably one of my favorite designs too. There’s something about blue and black together that I’ve always loved 💙 🖤

2025-02-06 04:04:28 +0000 UTCAny donut is a good donut! 🍩 ✨ Unfortunately I haven’t been able to find any good ones though IRL yet. I wanted to buy one for maximum realness for the audio haha! This will be the first time for the yandere nurse! Maybe she looks a little like a past character though so that could be why you feel that way? No shame in liking canines! We’re friendly kitties here so we don’t mind a doggo friend (especially since my favorite vtuber is a doggo girl 🐶 ❤️) :P I appreciate you telling me your favorites Azazel! It makes me happy that you like so many so thank you ^_^

2025-02-05 19:20:22 +0000 UTCI’m glad you enjoyed the eel JanJan! :D Sea creatures are some of my favorites, especially drawing 🌊 ❤️

2025-02-05 19:10:11 +0000 UTCI’m sorry to hear you’ve been swamped with work, hopefully it’s not too stressful! I hope your week is still going good though and you have a relaxing weekend ahead :) I appreciate you sharing your favorites, it really means a lot to hear you enjoy so many! ❤️ As for my favorites it would probably be Hex Maniac and my Lain inspired audio ^_^

2025-02-05 19:07:33 +0000 UTCAww, thanks so much! I did like the goblin sister. I’m pretty sure that was the first little sister character I’ve done :D

2025-02-05 19:01:51 +0000 UTCI’m happy to hear you enjoyed the doll character Main and I hope you have a great week too! :D

Looking forward to the next rambles and hope work and your fitness journey are going good 💪

2025-02-05 18:54:31 +0000 UTCDon’t you worry I know I and many others love Ash 🫡❤️

2025-02-05 18:06:26 +0000 UTCI hope you do you did an amazing job conveying her absolute hatred at the plushie disgust for us enjoying it absolutely spot on also I’ve having a lot of fun on the cruise eating lots of good food had beef Wellington yesterday tried some fancy in-house made gelato in Mexico and tried tiramisu for the first time today and it was amazing also saw a cute cat and some flamingos will probably post photos of all my favorite things on Twitter Saturday after I get home.

2025-02-05 16:46:15 +0000 UTCI hope you’re enjoying the cruise so far Releo, it sounds like a lot of fun! :) I’m glad you liked the axolotl audio too; that one was a lot of fun for me :P I’ve always been a little hesitant to make mean/bully type characters but that one made me want to make another one soon! ✨
alichu
2025-02-05 16:42:06 +0000 UTCThank you so much for your comment Guy! I’m happy to hear you’ve been enjoying your week ^_^ It really means a lot to hear you say you like my character Ash. I put a lot of thought into her design/personality so it makes me happy to hear others like her ❤️ I’m also glad to hear you liked the card video! I had so much fun with that one > w <
alichu
2025-02-05 15:49:13 +0000 UTCAnd they actually came reasonably early today so I didn't sit here waiting all day! Usually I don't get the notice until I get home from work on Monday, telling me that they'll be here on Tuesday, so I wonder if they got enough complaints about that lol And if turned out you had nothing to worry about :P isn't one of the batgirl audios the first to reach 10k views?
Delta
2025-02-05 15:48:32 +0000 UTCThanks Ali. I'm hopeful something good will come soon. Moving boxes and furniture certainly is no fun, but thankfully I had family to help me. I like driving, but it's been a few years since I went on a long road trip while ensuring the safety of my things.

2025-02-05 14:56:35 +0000 UTCHaha, I did enjoy those comments- thank you BlueAsh! XD I don’t want to say there won’t be a rematch because it’s definitely possible. I just need to think of a good story first if that’s the case. One punch knockout! :P ✨ 🥊

2025-02-05 14:50:38 +0000 UTCHello Verrick, I hope you’re doing well and thanks for your kind comment! I’m really happy you enjoy my rambles. They are fun and therapeutic for me too so it means a lot when you all say you enjoy them 😊 I’ve actually never played DnD! I always wanted to though since it seemed like so much fun. I never had any friends IRL that were into it but maybe one day :D
alichu
2025-02-05 14:49:43 +0000 UTCI hope things go well for you Kai, you deserve it! I know moving can be stressful but at least the physical part of it is done. Moving boxes and driving is such a pain to me 😭
alichu
2025-02-05 14:43:24 +0000 UTCThanks Eeveeolite! I had a lot of fun with the bat girls. The first one made me nervous since it was my first time doing ear cleaning sounds but I’m happy people enjoyed it :D
alichu
2025-02-05 14:41:11 +0000 UTCOh man, one day notices are the worst so at least they didn’t do that this time! 😭 The first bat girl audio will always be special to me since it was my first time doing ear cleaning sounds. I still remember being nervous about uploading it in fear of it being terrible 😆
alichu
2025-02-05 14:40:18 +0000 UTCThank you Shadowkitty, I’m happy you enjoy the Ash sketch. Thanks for sharing your favorite audios too! :D I am curious though; what about pandas make them that way? I love learning animal facts! Pretty soon there will be a Glaceon girl too. Four eeveelutions down and four more to go! ✨

2025-02-05 14:37:49 +0000 UTCMy week is really good so far! Ash is such a cutie.☺️ I like all of your Charakters because everyone of them has something unique. But I really liked the Neko Shoeshiner and the grumpy(mad😁) Neko. I'm really loking forward to the new Audios and I want to say "THANK YOU" for the hard work and all of the fun and exciting things we get from you Ali!😉😊🫶🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

2025-02-05 11:23:13 +0000 UTCHey Ali! My weeks been alright hope yours is going good!! I love how the sketches are coming so far, the ash be looking very cute lol. Also another 2parter? Excitinggg! For favorite audio that’s so hard cause you make so many bangers LOL! They’re all so unique and I enjoy em all! I enjoy so many of them but having to decide on one is hard so I hope it’s okay to name a couple I’d say def Rat, Bat Nurse, Dog saleswoman, zombie girl and the recent kuudere ones lol For characters tho I’d have to go with moth girl, rat, gorgon, cat and dog sisters, and then axolotl! I really like the art of them a lot and the audios of those one as well were really enjoyable! Special mention would be your rambles! Just hearing you talk about your interests and stories are always super enjoyable as well as relatable lol also very funny at times! Also it’s fun reading comments and also commenting on stuff in those rambles!
BerryCole
2025-02-05 11:02:49 +0000 UTCThe sketches are very cute. I love that we might be hearing fishnet sounds in the Ash video, that sound has been a pretty big surprise for me. Very much looking forward to the full art of the Panda girl in what looks like a qipao? But she should know that gum has xylitol! You tell that panda girl to spit that out! Lol It would take me too long figure out which audio is my favorite, I would want to go back and listen to a few of them. So I'll just say what my favorite art has been since I've been a patron. For Patreon, it's the spider girl from back in September. Honorable mention to Padpa. YouTube is a bit harder. My favorites are the Goth Moth tattoo artist, the Chihuahua coworker, Flareon, and the Yule cat. But if I had to pick one, it would be the Goth Moth. She would also be my overall favorite design too. Most of these have something in common, there so cool and smug! I love it lol Goth Moth in particular is just such an awesome design and you can just tell that she knows it too. Bonus pick, I think one of my favorite characters has to be the girl from the Unexpected camping date ASMR. I really like camping and the audio itself was very sweet. I had been listening to your audios here are there but I joined the Patreon after hearing that one.
Moy
2025-02-04 23:33:12 +0000 UTCWhat type of donuts flavor does Ash like anyways? Also, the other art sketches look cool too, however I have a feeling that the Yandere Nurse we've seen before, but I can't put my finger on it. For the QOTW, I'm gonna give three answers, one for YT, one on here, and Overall. For youtube, I've gotta say that the Grey Wolf Girl is definitely my favorite. I can get that the cats here are probably mad at me for liking a canine audio despite being an Ali-cat(definitely not lieing), I just really enjoy that one a lot. For patreon, it's definitely the Axolotl here. I had a small debate with her and the recent Demon Neighbor, but honestly I like the Axolotl more because of my bias for liking pink. Not to mention that I like the angy factor of her and the art design. For Overall, my Favorite has to be the Sleepover Asmr. I still find myself listening to it from time to time because both the subtitles and aspect of just having small talk before trying to go to sleep again is really cute and interesting.
BloodyAzazel
2025-02-04 20:22:10 +0000 UTCI keep going back to the electric eel audio, so I'd wager that that one is my favourite, guess I'm just a sucker for tsunderes.
JanJan
2025-02-04 17:30:23 +0000 UTCThe vampire, fox, and neko characters/audios are goatted 🔥🔥 Also a song recommendation “New me” By Yoasobi. It’s a lowkey banger
Wheniks
2025-02-04 17:30:04 +0000 UTCReally loving the sketches so far! Especially excited for the panda girl audio and the final art! :3 Been a bit swamped with work this week - hope everyone else is having a better time! Asking for a favorite character and audio? Oof, that's a tough one. They're all so different, so it really depends on my mood. xD There are quite a few I find myself revisiting often - If I had to narrow it down, I'd go with Flareon, Chihuahua, Owl, Eldritch, Fennec & Arctic Fox, Mismagius, Rat, and Yule Cat. Still a long list, but I really enjoyed those! If I had to pick just one audio and one character, I think I’d go with Flareon for the audio and your Alichu OC or Yule Cat as my favorite character / design. But right back at you - which character / audio was the most fun for you to create? ;D
Kraiden
2025-02-04 17:01:34 +0000 UTCOf recent characters I really liked the goblin sister, it was a very pure and wholesome story, but picking one favorite is very difficult when they're all fantastic!
Two_Hoots88
2025-02-04 17:01:27 +0000 UTCBy far my favorite you've done was the kuromi doll. Such a cute design! I hope you and everyone reading this has a great week

2025-02-04 16:39:04 +0000 UTCWill we see ali the wolf girl version again? :D
John
2025-02-04 16:13:46 +0000 UTCThe sketch’s look good Ashe is looking especially cute enjoying the donut. Ooh this is a hard question but for Patreon the recent axololt rp has got to my favorite it was just so funny yet still relaxing and for YouTube the shark dentist so relaxing any time I’m struggling to sleep it knocks me out instantly. Just got to the first stop on my cruise it’s photo time this island is beautiful. Hope you’re having an awesome week Ali!
Releothunder
2025-02-04 16:01:54 +0000 UTCHope you (and anyone reading this) are having a good week! This is the first week since November that I don’t have to do a lot so I’m loving it! While I love all your art, the eyes and blushing cheeks of that yandere nurse are too cute and captivating lol. For favorite character I’m not sure if it counts since there aren’t any videos on her (yet) but I really like Ash. I really like the comics and her lore hehe. Actual favorite character “we” have met though might be the card shop owner lol. I actually did learn about cards during the video (thanks for the sleeve recommendation) and it had me giggling. Now favorite audio?! I go crazy for the card openings and rambles. They’re sooooo relaxing and it’s nice to hear how you’re doing from time to time…plus I can never get enough of pokemon stuff :p
SomeGuyHere
2025-02-04 15:37:53 +0000 UTCMy favorite audio is not one with the best tingles, but the one who sparked the most emotions in me. The Skelly nurse audio, so much so that I kept posting a want for a rematch fight against the mantis shrimp girl and the honey badger girl for like 30ish videos straight in the comments of various videos. Fun times :3 Favorite character? Gotta be the Alpha wolf girl or the Angry Axolotl. Angry/Mean Ali is best Ali.
BlueAsh173
2025-02-04 14:22:01 +0000 UTCFavorite audio -- I could list a dozen: Slime Girl, Goth Doll, Goth Moth, Mantis Hair Salon, Rat Girl, Mouse Girl, Lamia, Arachne. I guess in general the unusual monster girls. Having a hard time picking a favorite... I think I enjoy hearing your voice regardless of character.
sinoth
2025-02-04 14:02:08 +0000 UTCFavourite audio? I don't think I can choose just one... I actually really like the rambles - just super relatable and always relaxing! Also great to hear about your interests, but also learning about the challenges and annoyances is oddly therapeutic (and at times funny 😂) Other than that, recently the Artic Fox and Paladin ones were both great! And historically also a big fan of the wolf girl part 1 & 2, dog girl vacuum saleswoman, and the cursed sword audio. Honestly you really should be a VA, each audio has such a distinct personality. I hope at least you play DnD because you'd make a cracking DM with the world building and voices 😄
Verrick
2025-02-04 13:41:50 +0000 UTCCute sketches. My week has been busy so far in moving and getting settled in to my new place. Moved into a siblings place to help reduce expenses while looking for a better job. At least I can set up a transfer from my current job. Favorite audio? In more recent time maybe the kuudere friend, and from older ones either the artist senpai one or the tattoo artist ones.
Kai Zomei
2025-02-04 13:23:55 +0000 UTCVery cute art! And favorite audio? I really like the Bat Girl ear cleaning ones! They're great!
Eeveeolite
2025-02-04 12:35:01 +0000 UTCSo far so good! Have mandatory preventative pest control at my apartment tomorrow though ugh, at least they gave more than barely a days notice this time lol yours? Also, Ash has no reason being that cute!! And oooh... that's a tough one... can't go wrong with the classic bat girl audios you have, but that more recent werewolf date one was really good too...
Delta
2025-02-04 12:30:04 +0000 UTCOhhh~ Ash is extra precious in this sketch..! But let's not get me started on Pandas and all the reasons why they are a failure of nature and evolution... >.> *ahem* As for a favourite character, Aahhh jeeze.. That's really not easy to say, there are so many now! And such good ones... Hnng.. If I had to pick based on my feelings right now in the heat of the moment, it would be the tough but sweet little sewer rat who helped the MC after he got domestically abused by a slime. xD Edit: AND a quick honourable mention to the Flareon audio. Despite my opposing Glaceon loyalty, she is just such a good girl. She deserves some praise.
