The Slei Knows the Way, p3

When you’re already as big as the Santaur, grabbing milk and cookies at a 100% stop rate isn’t a big deal. But for a wee little elf, it’s a bit more of a challenge.

The Slei Knows the Way, p2

Introducing the AUTOSLEI! Messy reindeer and route memorization are a thing of the past. I almost added a little tube that puts the correct gift in the hands of the operator at each stop, but I’m dumping enough exposition as it is. We don’t need an entire schematic of the Autoslei. I think we’ll understand all we need to know about it by the next couple pages.

The Slei Knows the Way, p1

Angela is re-enlisted into elfhood for a special holiday mission!

Santaur Time!

EDIT: the people have spoken! Monday through Friday, it’s a new Santaurcentric adventure! And no matter which way you voted, each and every one of you is on my Nice list.

Got a big, fun-filled holiday special featuring the Santaur going on Patreon this week, after which I will take the week off. (From posting. Of course I’ll still be driving to work every day. I WILL ALWAYS BE DRIVING TO WORK EVERY DAY UNTIL IT DEFINES MY VERY BEING)

Anyway, patrons, would you like...

Delinquency

Looks like Rosemary isn’t taking to the program. Maybe she’ll get everything back to square one like she always does in these thinly connected premises. (Once she gets done proving to everyone what a rebel she is.)

Refinished Salomé

I mean, if we’re being fair, Salomé put on a lot of weight when she started that school. But Firan ain’t complaining.

Finishing Moves

The contagion spreads, with slightly diminishing returns. Seems like it takes more convincing when not delivered from the original source. Still, it’s effective enough for Angela not to question why she would have to spend the next several years building a life that she’d need to pay a team of nannies to get away from. Oh well! Logic has no place here, it’ll probably all reset tomorrow! I just wanted to draw characters dressed like Joey King in Bullet Train, and by God I did! 2022-12-14 05:11:24 +0000 UTC View Post

Winishing School

Looks like Bel’s doing some free tutoring. Unsurprisingly, even her goodness is sinister.

Finished Bel

Salomé sends Bel to a finishing school, where she’ll finally learn to be a proper lady. Will the most evil member of the Brimston family settle down and become a “good girl?”

Yipes! Stripes!

Wow, I abandoned an emo, a beautification, and a Southern waitress/farmgirl thread all in the same week? And I ended up with whatever this is? Either way, it’s nice to see that some version of adult Angela has made peace with those weird hair rings I tried to draw way back in Underburbs #14.

Special Dessert Special

Angela wasn’t sure why her friend Shelley was suddenly a waitress with her own namesake diner. Simply asking her to come back to her lab didn’t work, and Angela didn’t have a plan B. She wasn’t going to formulate much of anything on an empty stomach, and Shel was really talking up that pie. After that first bite, the sudden jolt of sweetness made Angie ready for anything, even a full day of farm work!

Shel’s Diner

Looks like Shelley’s gone from developing tomorrow’s formulas to memorizing today’s specials. What could have done this? Surely it’ wasn’t the pie. It’s the best in all of Underburrah, isn’t it? But according to whom? This diner wasn’t even here yesterday. Still, a little taste couldn’t hurt…

Accessorized

Not sure what’s going on here. Win is showing all the hallmarks of a bimbo TF, but without all the exaggeration. AP? Beautification? I sorta started drawing her with sudden application of makeup (heavily inspired by Kobi-TF’s Secret of Brightshore on Deviantart) and this was the result. Whatever it is, we can safely assume that enchanted earrings are to blame here.

The Emoburbs

Look, I don’t know the difference between emo and scene. I was already too old when they were both a thing. Whatever Angela’s been turned into, I think we can all agree that Ka-Sceen is the appropriate sound effect.

Mega Man

Oh man, I nearly forgot to post something today! Here’s a Mega Man I whipped up at work!

Nerdification sketch

Here’s a piece I’m working on for Wakeykun. Angela and his OC Claire try to get a little more enthused for the Underborough Anime Con. Magic is, of course, involved.

The VVeach

To commemorate Anya Taylor Joy’s latest role as Princess Peach, here is a slightly altered version of the ending of her film debut, Robert Eggers’ The VVitch. See if you can spot the difference!

They’ve ruined me

Two weeks ago, I was rear ended and the dude drove off while I was making sure the person they pushed me into was okay. But it’s all right, I mean I’m only stuck paying the deductible since the responsible party’s insurance may as well not even exist. And as an added bonus, whenever I take the highway home, I can look just like this drawing every time someone’s headlights come within 50 feet of me? Will they stop? I used to think so!

Room for Leftovers

Angela found a spell to eat as much as she wants this holiday season. Unfortunately, all that rich food still needs to go somewhere!

Aronica and Vergela

Not satisfied with simply fusing Angela and Veronica, I also did a full attribute swap. Now Angela is big, brash, and powerful while Veronica is meek and frail. Maybe they each swapped and then some, because I don’t remember either of these two starting out this far apart in terms of personality. Maybe they’ll each gain the humility and/or self confidence to make things right, but I think Angela might be enjoying having the upper hand, even if that hand is especially meaty.

Veronicangela

Why look, it’s another one of those character crossover fusion things! This time it’s with Anastimafilia’s OC, Veronica. Looks like Angela will have plenty of room for Thanksgiving dinner!

Ashmama

I feel it was never clear in Ranma 1/2 if the spirit of the drowned girl would have always looked like a red-haired femme version of Ranma Saotome. I initially sketched this older version that just looks more like a TG’d Ash. Of course, this is supposed to be the Spring of Drowned Girl, not the Spring of Drowned MILF. It was a good place to start, even if it wasn’t necessarily the right direction.

Ash vs Cursed Springs

Having completed a nice, simple, con-style piece, I made the mistake of expanding on it for funsies. What if Ash’s co-stars, Kelly and Pablo from the Ash vs Evil Dead TV series, also got sent to the Jusenkyo springs? (They just didn’t land face first in one.)

This created a unique challenge of having to draw reasonable likenesses of Dana DeLorenzo and Ray Santiago. If they looked like my usual, anime-inspired style, the visuals don’t work as well. I guess this also implies that th...

Ranmash 1/2

Here’s a crazy what-if mashup for you: what if Ash Williams of the Evil Dead series fell into the Jusenkyo spring from Ranma 1/2? DocOtto and I think it’d go a little something like this. Goofy mashups are a staple of comic con sketches, and it felt downright nostalgic to do something like this. That’s part of the reason why I left the background white. This isn’t too different from how the same idea would’ve been executed with pen and markers on Bristol board. The other pa...

Rosemary found a good day to try out being a blonde, unwittingly enacting the Shaun of the Dead effect. She can blend in with minimal risk of infection. Maybe she’ll find a cure in time. Or maybe she’ll have a much bigger group at the club than expected.

I know I haven’t been talking about the behind the scenes stuff all week, but I had fun with this one. I was almost at the point of being over this particular series, hence the limited palette this time around. Working ...

Once again, Bel is revealed to be the source of all mischief in Underborough, magical or otherwise. She even had the foresight to have a spell she could deflect with a simple ‘no thank you.’ But she somehow didn’t count on the spell being cast thrice, in unison! That’s overconfident villainy for you.

Obmi Ba’eb Annawi (3)

So Shelley only said it once without even looking directly into the mirror. Does the curse become more virulent with every new victim? Does skepticism make it work faster? Am I getting tired of writing the magic words a minimum of thrice per page?

Obmi Ba’eb Annawu (2)

Amazing what a minor alteration to a chant can do, especially when subliminally suggested to someone who wouldn’t have been able to use a mirror. Winifred should, like, totally thank Angie when she wakes up!

Obmi Ba’eb Annawi (1)

Angela receives a mysterious paper with three strange words and instructions to recite them into a mirror. Sounds legit. Always chant into a mirror, nothing bad has ever come of it.

(friday post)

Hey guys! Sorry I don’t have a Friday post. I was initially going to post all four steps of My Magical Matrimony, but I forgot, and I wasn’t sure if you wanted to see it again. But fear not, I’ve got a full deck ready for next week. If you enjoy sequences and lower case i’s with circles for dots and punctuation marks with hearts, then I think you’ll be happy.
