Character sketch wips, music & QOTW! ✨ ❤️
Added 2024-09-02 01:34:49 +0000 UTCHello Ali cats, I hope you all had a good weekend! Some of you may have a three day weekend and if that’s the case I hope you enjoy tomorrow too :) Above are some wips of the upcoming characters this week. I’ll let you guess what they are and which one will be for Patreon and YouTube ✨
My music suggestion goes back down memory lane for me. I’ve mentioned this before but one of my favorite bands is Korn. One of their older songs played while I was driving the other day and damn, I forgot just how much I loved it. Still one of the best CDs ever in my opinion too :P
Song: Korn “Divine”
As usual feel free to suggest your own music; I love us sharing our music likes! Question of the week is this: What is your personal treasure? By that I mean something that you own that you think is really cool and/or valuable. For me it’s definitely my old dot hack games for the PS2!

Oh my gosh, you own Colosseum?? YOU RULE! I don't like *playing* the game - XD GoD spoiled me hard - but it's just so interesting ;w; Got any more games for it in your childhood? :3 I've got... yikes honestly I have way too many games to count!! Back before the Covid Price Spikes (tm), I was a collector and bought a lot... like a lot of GCB games until I noticed it brough no joy, only pain and a lesser bank account. I'd share a pic with you, but Patreon doesn't accept those (logically) and I'm no Shitter user, I value my sanity uwu Enjoy your week, you artist :3 Chu!

2024-09-04 20:31:13 +0000 UTCI can definitely see why you’d think of those combinations haha! You are correct in that they are a moth and spider girl ^_^ That’s really cool about your personalized playlist! Back in the day there was nothing more special than making or receiving a mixed CD ❤️ I also wanted to say that I loved your song recommendation this week. I’m definitely adding that one to my playlist. Thanks for sharing Mi-kotin :)

2024-09-04 20:17:40 +0000 UTCI knew the switch up on boulevard of broken dreams would get somebody

2024-09-04 19:14:20 +0000 UTCYeah I'm kind of sentimental about things like that so I try to keep all my sketchbooks, plus being able to look back across the years of progress really makes me appreciate that, yes I have ACTUALLY improved (even though my brain tries to convince me otherwise)

2024-09-04 16:08:26 +0000 UTCYou’re correct, she’s a moth! And the second one is indeed a spider but I promise she’s a good one hehe :P I get what you mean about getting into a band later for sure. There’s a lot of times I find myself finding music and I’m like “Damn, where was I when this came out?!” lol. On that note, I’ve never heard of Dear Hunter before so this was the first song I’d heard by them. I really liked it! He has so much emotion behind his voice and I love that. I get the feeling there’s a little story or something before this song though. Maybe I’m looking into the lyrics too much but that’s the vibe I’m getting.

2024-09-04 15:59:16 +0000 UTCThank you Succotash! I was pretty proud of how the hands turned out so it makes me happy you commented on them :D And yes, the first one is a moth girl! Oh man, night shifts are both fun and exhausting at the same time, at least in my experience. Part of me loves it. The being up when the world around you is sleeping is pretty cool! But yeah, sometimes your body is like “Bro, wtf are you doing to us?” lol. I hope you’re able to adjust to it soon! I have never heard Weatherman or Dead Sara until now and that was a good song! Really enjoyed her voice a lot :) Considering your profession I can definitely see why you like that song haha! I’m jelly that you still have your first sketchbook. My stupid ass threw a lot of my old ones away because I thought they were “bad” without realizing how cool that would have been to have now. That or they just got lost from moving around. For anyone reading, please don’t throw away your old art. If you’re anything like me you’ll regret it 💔
alichu
2024-09-04 15:44:43 +0000 UTCThank you Moy! And you are correct about both, a spider and moth ^_^ Coming Undone is another great song by them, lots of good memories playing that song for sure. I still remember my old angsty self having “Y’all Want A Single” playing on my MySpace page back in the day haha!
alichu
2024-09-04 15:22:53 +0000 UTCShe is a moth girl! :D Different than the old audio though, this one is a business woman of sorts ✨ I chuckled when I read that TJ almost slapped you for asking to change the song- 100% I probably would have done the same if a friend in the car tried to change Korn haha! XD I have heard of BVB! I haven’t heard all their songs but I have heard In The End which is pretty good. It took me a minute to recognize We Don’t Have To Dance but yes, I’ve heard that one too- both your recs were good ones this week, thanks for sharing them! ❤️
alichu
2024-09-04 15:19:27 +0000 UTCShe’s a spider indeed! Different than our masseuse though, this time there will be a spider…on a plane! ✈️ 🕷️And you’re also correct on the other character- a moth girl! I’ll leave what she’ll be doing as a surprise though hehe :P Speaking of the GameCube, I think I still have mine in my room somewhere! If I do then that means Pokemon Colosseum has to be here somewhere too. I would be so happy if that’s the case! That is awesome that you have both that and a Gameboy Player. What games do you have? :D And you enjoy your week too, thank you!! ❤️

2024-09-04 14:02:40 +0000 UTCIs it a moth?

2024-09-04 13:58:24 +0000 UTCThat's good! Only supposed to get about 75 today here, actually had my bedroom window open this morning and it was pretty cool in my bedroom. Hmm... a fluffy bug... with antenna that look like feathers... she's a moth, isn't she?? And oh man, they're pretty cool and all over the place here! Lol Why does that not surprise me in the slightest :P and I haven't watched much of Korone, aside from the yandere memes lol but I do watch Okayu occasionally ... doesn't hurt that she makes good ASMR too... lol
Delta
2024-09-04 12:45:02 +0000 UTCYou are half right about the characters! One is definitely a spider but the other one I don’t think anyone has guessed yet :P I’m not done replying to comments though so someone after may have guessed it! A hint though: she’s also a bug ✨ I enjoyed the Over You song! I noticed this was a cover so I’ll need to check out the original too. I still have full intention of watching Helluva Boss. Just need to find the time first haha! I think it’s sweet that you keep your brother’s jacket. I have something similar that I treasure for that reason too so I can relate :)
alichu
2024-09-04 12:39:57 +0000 UTCI get that fr! Gotta have a good set of headphones always :) I hope you had a good weekend ❤️
alichu
2024-09-04 12:28:51 +0000 UTCAwesome to hear you got a new chair! You gotta have a comfortable chair for gaming. And I did have a good jog, thank you! The weather is supposed to be cool today so I may go again :P You’re right about one being a spider but the first one is something else. A hint: she’s a bug too :3 And no, I haven’t seen these white spiders you’re talking about but they sound but creepy/pretty at the same time haha! Funny enough I’ve heard both your song recommendations before and they are both good! Korone is my favorite vtuber but considering their relationship (and being a cat girl myself) I have to like Okayu too :3 lol. I haven’t checked my messages yet but I do remember you telling me about the necklace! I understand things like that can have a lot of sentimental meaning so that’s very sweet and nice that you value them ❤️
alichu
2024-09-04 11:59:16 +0000 UTCYou’re half right with a spider, but the other one is something else. I’ll give an hint: she’s a bug too :P Also, I love Metalapocalypse! Their show growing up was great ❤️ I had a friend that had that collector’s edition you’re talking about! I never played the story of Halo but really enjoyed the multi/co-op player mode. That’s really cool that you have that :D
alichu
2024-09-04 11:48:49 +0000 UTCThat’s really cool! Your comment reminded me of my huge CD collection I had as a kid. I had all the good stuff- Rob Zombie, Korn, Slipknot and so many others. What happened to it? My Dad stole it and never gave it back. I still sometimes wonder where it went lol 😭
alichu
2024-09-04 11:32:53 +0000 UTCComputers are definitely personal treasures indeed. I can’t wait to get me a proper one to play games on one day :D When I read Boulevard of Broken Dreams my emo ass instantly thought of Green Day haha! The Hanoi Rocks song was good, I had never heard that before :)
alichu
2024-09-04 11:28:19 +0000 UTCThat’s really neat! I’d love to have some framed illustrations one day ^_^ I really liked your song recommendation this week. I could really see that being an anime song, maybe a cool ending one! I hope you had a nice birthday too Kai! 🎂 ❤️
alichu
2024-09-04 11:19:12 +0000 UTCI love the idea of a moth-bird and the oni-spider girl design. ^^ I like it when things are combined to create something new. (even if it was not intention :P) My personal treasure? When I got my driver's license, a friend put together a music playlist for me. The playlist is unchanged and I still use it when driving. (because I can't connect it to my PC and put more songs on it) Song: Still Here by Digital Daggers

2024-09-03 23:09:45 +0000 UTCI can't decide if the first photo is more moth or bird. Either way, one can never have too many fuzzy characters, right? The spider girl can stay too as long as she promises to keep her distance and make no sudden movements xD Weirdly enough, I was never very into Korn when I was younger. I listen to them more often now, but I feel like I really missed out on prime time. This is a cool suggestion though. It's nice to hear deeper cuts from popular bands. My song recommendation for the week is "Red Hands" by The Dear Hunter. It was a hard choice but then I realized I can just save the other contender for next week. Personal treasure? I'd probably have to say my audio equipment collection. Someone mentioned their headphones and I totally agree, but I'm indecisive so it's hard for me to just pick one thing in that category, lol. Hope you got to do something fun over the holiday weekend!

2024-09-03 08:59:25 +0000 UTCKiller work on the hands! Especially the one on the left (moth girl?) really great job. Finally got some time to spend on here, currently switching to a night shift sleep schedule and my body is SO upset with me lol This is one of the few moments where I've already listened to your suggestion! Thanks to you, Korn is a regular appearance in my playlist nowadays. My suggestion is "Weatherman" by Dead Sara. Song goes pretty hard and it's funny cause I'm literally a weatherman lmao, as for a treasure...probably my first ever sketchbook that I've had since I really started learning to draw back in high school, very sentimental for me personally

2024-09-03 08:55:09 +0000 UTCLooks like a moth and a spider. Really like the design of the first one. I'm not much of an artists so I don't normally comment on art lol but both drawings seem a little different than usual, I like it. Wow, talk about a deja vu! I was driving the other day and Coming Undone started playing. Ended up putting them on shuffle for the rest of my ride, jammed out hard. Lol. Used to listen to them all the time. I don't really think I have a personal treasure. I'm kinda jealous of people who are able to answer that one easily. That's not to say I don't have stuff that I think is cool though! lol
Moy
2024-09-03 05:51:48 +0000 UTC*gasp* That left one kinda looks like moth girlfriend from last year. I loved her :3 (both her character and design). Divine was cool. I'm not all that familiar with Korn myself but TJ certainly likes them, in fact he almost slapped me when I asked to change the song (Korn was playing) I'm sorry!! But hey, every band/artist has a weak spot. Divine was better at least! I've been meaning to ask for a while, are you familiar with "Black Veil Brides" or Andy Black (the singer)? If not, try "In The End" by BVB or "We Don't Have To Dance" by Andy himself.

2024-09-02 16:42:58 +0000 UTCIs spider mommy coming back? HECK YEAH, time for eight-legged massages and whatnot, we love our spider mommy :3 The other... what is this? A moth? Your penwork does seem to be refining and being more detailed these last few weeks, guess you've been practicing a lot between your research? My personal treasure.... I have many treasures I accumulated throughout the years, but I guess none beats my childhood Gamecube. I bought three others - back when they were cheap >_> - and I still use the one with a broken corner from when it fell in my childhood bedroom... It's a cherished gift to the point I got its laser repaired, bought a Gameboy Player for it and an HDMI adapter, two in fact, cause I HAVE A PROOOOBLEEEEEEM~ Enjoy your week, best ASMRtist :3
Éole
2024-09-02 11:55:43 +0000 UTCThe left one I think is probably a birb, but it may be a bunny depending if those "feathers" on her head aren't throwing me off, so I think this is probably patreon exclusive. The right one looks like a hybrid of an Oni with a Spider, so I think that one is for youtube. For the song today, I think I'm going with one from Helluva Boss, mainly because of the cringy episode short they posted, but also because I loved the fact that this person made an extension to the song during the apology tour. Over You, Covered by Milkyymelodies. I really like the feel to this. For the QOTW, I really don't have any specific type of item that I value that I've bought, mainly because I like them all, but I'm sure I'll find something I value. However, the only real thing that I keep as a personal treasure is my older brothers jacket. The reason I treasure it is for a lot of things. I'll list it here: 1. I was the only person who ever wore anything that he had, mainly if it were work related. 2. It was the very last thing I kept from him ever since he left the house to live in my parents "retirement" bought house. 3. No matter how withered or dirty or unable to clean from that jacket, I still value it as the one thing to remember him for.

2024-09-02 04:32:46 +0000 UTCi wish i had a deeper answer but my life would be so much different without my headphones. i love music happy labor day weekend!

2024-09-02 03:53:15 +0000 UTCIt's been a good weekend! Got what I needed to do an oil change on my car for free lol guy at the parts department just straight up gave it to me, and after much thinking, I finally got myself a new chair for my desk, no more hot leather seat that has a bad lean to the left lol and I do have tomorrow off too! Hope your weekend is going well, and I hope you have a great jog tomorrow! As for the characters...hmm.. first one is... some sort of hawk or eagle..? Kinda has a predatory look.. And the spider girl.. either a spider demon... or... have you seen the white spiders here with the black and red spikes?? I really like me some Korn! So here's a favorite song by them other than Freak on a Leash! Idiosyncrasy is a fave of mine! Also got two other songs that aren't in my normal rotation, Show by Ado and Kamisama-Nekosama by Nekomata Okayu So for the question.. I had a whole thing typed out, but it seemed pretty sad... I'll tell you the reasoning if you want over dm, I've got no issue talking about it, just don't want to make people who read this, sad ^^; but any item I have that belonged to my mom, like the scarab necklace I mentioned, and also some artwork a friend had made years ago of my previous dog Bandit

2024-09-02 03:49:46 +0000 UTCI'd guess that we're getting an owl and a spider milf XD. My muisc for this week is face fisted by metalapocalypse:Dethklok God I love the frecken lyrics but it's because of how hilarious it sounds to me I can't not laugh evertime I listen to it XD. I think my most vaubled treasure is my halo 3 collectors edition which comes with cheifs helmet it's not wearable but you can but game box's in their from back in the day when people still bough l physical copies I actually have 2 for some reason 1 is still in its box untouched another is on display. but I also have my CD case of all my xbox 360 games which gives me major nostalgia from when I was a kid
Crimson command
2024-09-02 03:03:16 +0000 UTCMy personal treasure would probably be my digital music collection. I have over 1000 songs I've bought. It look a long time to find so many songs I like. It's almost all in lossless quality and I know each song by name
cloudberrybob
2024-09-02 02:23:28 +0000 UTCMy weekend was awesome, I hope yours was too :3 My song recommendation is "Boulevard of Broken Dreams" by Hanoi Rocks. I think my personal treasure would probably be my computer. It has most of my games on there and all my homies live in it.

2024-09-02 02:09:22 +0000 UTCPrized treasure: a framed illustration by Mark Crilley (a YouTube art teacher and comic artist I followed growing up) Music: Shin Takarajima by Sakanaction. Knew this song for a while, and currently listening to their discography rn.
