BAPE x Tobi

So here's a fun little thing I wanted to do, since I've been seeing a ton of the promo art made by A Bathing Ape, so I thought, what if I did one but with Tobi? This was fun to do, Especially drawing Tobi in the Baby Milo style.

Obviously this isn't part of an actual collaboration with BAPE, I only drew this for fun. (One can dream though.. Sighhh...)

Blaze the Cat as Axel

Something I was gonna mention in yesterdays blog post was this drawing of Blaze the Cat dressed as Axel from the Kingdom Hearts series, I mostly doodled this because both Blaze and Axel have fire/fire adjacent powers. Plus I haven't drawn much of Blaze lately, sucks because she's one of my favorite Sonic characters. I think the hardest part was getting the chakrams down correctly, since I've never drawn them before.

Sketches! (9/?)

First blog post for November, and it's my usual collection of doodles, However, for this once I've decided to add a few doodles of mine drawn on Drawpile as well, since I rarely share those nowadays. Also keep in mind that some of these are from October

First up are these doodles of Smiley, since I wanted to try and tweak his design since I always struggled a bit with drawing him (Mostly his spiky hair). I also drew him cuddled up next to Carrie, who's red in the face haha.

Next up are these doodles of the iconic black cat himself, Felix! These were drawn after my birthday since he was on my mind at the moment, I tend to base my Felix drawings on both his old design from the original shorts and the 50's cartoon. I also felt like drawing Felix's girlfriend Kitty Kat, along with one of his copies Julius the Cat! Who was created by Walt Disney and Ub Iwerks themselves before creating the likes of Oswald and Mickey

Speaking of Mickey, I also drew the lovable rodent since I've been meaning to draw him more, since I've always been drawing his friends and his predecessor. Much like Felix, I mostly based these ones off of his old design from back then. Along with two doodles of Minnie, who should really calm down on her language!

Time for a quick pause to show off some of my recent drawings from various Drawpile sessions with a few of my friends, I won't go into too much depth as my usual doodles since they're fairly simple to explain

Warren the Ape and two Greg the Bunnies (one of them is wearing a GIR hoodie)

 

A caricature of Liza Minnelli 

 

Daffy Duck in Bugs Bunny's arms

Carrie dressed as Cathy

Smiley dressed like Jeff the Killer

Felix the Cat teasing a peeved Oswald the Lucky Rabbit

 

Shadow the Hedgehog wearing some sick pants and shoes

 

Alright, that's enough of the Drawpile doodles, for now at least. Last one up is this little diagram showing the difference between two Looney Tunes, Ralph Wolf, and Wile E. Coyote! mostly because I always see people get the two mixed up, which is sort of annoying. Granted I do blame Chuck Jones and his unit for basically making Ralph into basically just Wile E's echo fighter in the later Sam and Ralph shorts, but that's whatever.  

And that's all folks! (For now at least) I've probably forgotten to share a few doodles of mine, so if you wanna find those, be sure to stop by my bsky page for more doodles (and whatever I feel like saying that's on my mind). And also be sure to stop by my ko-fi page, since commissions are still currently open! Or if you just want to donate to me.

Scary Movie Night

HAPPY HALLOWEEN EVERYBODY!! To sort of celebrate, I decided to draw this quick picture of Carrie, Smiley, and Jitsuko watching a scary movie. I also added my pal ReevieRat's characters Fraser and Hershey to the picture, mostly because I saw them and my own trio of goobers as sort of a group. (that and Reevie likes it when I draw them haha)

Had a ton of fun drawing this, especially with the way the TV screen illuminates onto the group. Let me tell you, that was hard as hell to get right. While this is a very basic piece, I am proud of the final result

     ~MrJrC   

Yakko and Max

So here's an odd idea for a drawing, one involving a mostly obscure crossover ship/paring with Max Goof and Yakko Warner. At first I didn't really get the appeal of it (I don't get a lot of crossover ships tbh), but I've slowly warmed up to it. So I felt like throwing my hat in the ring and drawing these two! I based the pose these two are doing off of this neat drawing

I also decided to make a speedpaint of this particular drawing (something I rarely do nowadays), which you can watch right here!

     ~MrJrC  

Happy Birthday to ME!!

Today's my special day! Because on this date all the way back in 2008, I somehow managed to escape my mother's womb! So to celebrate, I decided to draw Myself being surrounded by a few of my characters, those being Tobi (Of course), Ricky, Dex, Carrie, and Clover! I mostly focused on these 5 since I sort of view them as the main people I tend to bring up a ton, at least on both here and on my social media pages.

I'm honestly shocked that I managed to make it this far, I have my moments of self-doubt, but I know deep inside of me, nothing can truly keep me down. So let me take a moment here to thank all of my friends and family for sticking with me and constantly supporting my endeavors, you all mean the world to me!

And of course, Thank YOU for supporting me throughout the years. While my life has been mostly uninteresting, I'm at least glad that I made various people smile with my silly drawings :)

Pete Warmup Doodle

Been a while since I've shared warmup drawings here, so I thought I'd share a sketch I drew of the iconic Disney villain/Enemy of Mickey Mouse, Pete! I mostly felt like drawing him since out of all of Mickey's cast of characters, I rarely ever touched Pete.

The outfit I drew on him is based off of one of his outfits from the Mickey Mouse comics (I think?) With a few tweaks to make it my own, along with giving him back his bushy tail he had in the early shorts.

     ~MrJrC 

Tobi in Autumn

Autumn's finally here! So I felt like drawing Tobi and Cooper in an autumn like scenario, where Cooper pops out of a pile of raked leaves, much to Tobi's annoyance haha. Kinda missed drawing Tobi with his scarf. I sorta went for a Peanuts look for the background, especially with how simple it looks and also the way the ground is drawn.

     ~MrJrC

Bonkers Doodles

Something I completely forgot to post when showing off my various sketches are these doodles of Bonkers D. Bobcat! I drew these for the 33rd anniversary of the Bonkers cartoon. Very proud of how these turned out. Though I'll admit, I wish I doodled Bonkers in his police uniform more instead of his sweater haha.

     ~MrJrC

Recent Commissions

Been a long while since I've shared commissioned work, but it's also been a while since I've been paid to draw something haha. Keep in mind some pieces won't be shown here, but if you do want to see more of my stuff, be sure to check out my bsky!

First one is a commission I drew for SoraPeppermint back on March 16th (They also asked me to draw this) who wanted me to draw their alternative persona. Nothing too special, but I am proud of the pose I used.

Next is a commission for funkytox! who wanted me to draw his bird character, not sure if he has a name. I'm most proud of the background I made for this piece. This was made during my "trippy backgrounds look very good!" phase, which I still sort of stand by. Also drawn on March 16th

Next up is a commission made for ThePuppycornrioDoggo! Who wanted me to draw his characters Tony, and Puppycornio. Nothing too special to say about this. 

Next up, a commission for a returning client, Pearline! who wanted me to draw his character Frixion! Had a ton of fun drawing this particular creature, I'm most proud of the posing since it makes him look more threatening. the background was also fun to design, tho granted I did copy it from the reference image provided (mostly for the pose).

And last but not least, this drawing for JukoDuko! Featuring his Giraffe fursona pondering a new piece of music to play on his banjo, which is currently in the hands of Ricky! This is one piece I'm very proud of, especially the background, I actually used one of the backgrounds from Yogi Bear as a base for it. I'm also proud of the shading for the piece, since I rarely shade my artwork haha. (you can view the unshaded version here).

There you have it folks! If you want, my commissions are still currently open if you're interested in commissioning me yourself, just be sure to contact me via my Ko-Fi!

Jay Animation Test

[Originally made on August 10th] Wanted to animate something, mostly for practice. And so I decided to animate my friend BracketNeutron's character Jay! Normally I tend to use my own characters when I want to practice animating, but I felt like using Jay since I haven't drawn him or any of Bracket's characters in a while (It's mostly been his yellow alien critter Newm).

Also MP4 Version:

Sketches! (8/?)

New month, New collection of sketches! ...Mostly from August. If you wanna see some more sketches of mine be sure to check my bluesky account!

First up is this collection of Carrie doodles, I mostly drew these since I wanted to practice drawing her more. Most of the expressions used here are from Felix the Cat, mainly the one where she removes the top of her head. I also doodled Max the Rabbit, the prototype design for Sonic the Hedgehog.

Next are a bunch of doodles of Carrie's boyfriend, Smiley! Much like Carrie, I wanted to practice drawing him, and I wanted to try and give Smiley more expressions outside of him smiling haha. I also doodled Noodle from Gorillaz! Since I've been listening to their music lately. My favorite ones are the ones where Smiley wears a black tank top, Mostly because I think it looks cool on him.

Next up, Thrash the Tasmanian Devil from the Archie Sonic Comics! I remembered this strong guy existed when I reread a few of the Archie Sonic comics, and also browsing the Sonic Wiki Zone. I like his design, Mostly because of how cool looking his design is, Shame that he never appeared in the newer comics, oh well. I also drew a little doodle of Knuckles and Thrash squaring off.

Next two doodles are of Tobi the Alien! I wanted to practice drawing him with some poses from some Mickey Mouse model sheets, along with trying to make his tail less static, since I always draw it curved.

The next collection of Tobi doodles are from my sketchbook! Something I've neglected to use until recently, since there are a few pages in it left. One of my favorites from this collection is Tobi as a cowboy, I should make something related to said doodle. Another favorite is the one where Tobi kisses Tabi, not for anything too important, I just find it cute. Also Roadrunner! Also Roadrunner...

Something I've realized is that I very rarely EVER draw anything involving ducks, so I decided to doodle one of the most famous cartoon ducks ever, (besides Daffy of course) Donald Duck! Had a ton of fun doodling him. I mostly used official reference sheets and comic panels when drawing him. Speaking of comics, I also doodled Donald being surprised by Astro Boy! based off of this drawing Osamu Tezuka made for Carl Barks, the main guy behind the Donald Duck comics.

And lastly, a collection of drawings mostly revolving around humans! I've been meaning to practice drawing them more, since I've kinda neglected doing so (Cartoons and Funny Animal people interest me more, sorry not sorry.) Originally it was just gonna be drawings of my own human characters (Mostly Clover and possibly Orchid) but I ended up doodling Cyborg 009, Chris Thorndyke, and my friend Kevin. on well, I am proud of the semi unfinished drawing of Clover and Tobi fishing.

And that's (currently), all folks! Not enough standalone sketches as before, but I don't have the full motivation to make standalone sketches as much as I used to, maybe when I get back in the groove of things I'll be able to share more standalone sketches. Also my commissions are back open! So head over to my ko-fi if you want to donate and/or commission me!

DORFic Amy

Felt like drawing a Sonic character today, specifically one that I rarely ever draw. That being Amy Rose! I've drawn her before in the past, but most of the time It's usually her "Modern" appearance. So instead, I decided to draw her "Classic" appearance instead, back when she used to look like Sonic, but if he was pink and a girl.  

I based Amy's outfit off of both a sketch I drew in my sketchbook, and also off of a neat varsity jacket outfit I found off of Pinterest. I also wanted to do something new for the background, mimicking the DORFic aesthetic, an aesthetic heavily associated with "Fruitger Aero" for those who are curious. It's not fully one to one, but I'm proud of the final result. And to finish it, I added the lyrics to "Follow Me" a song from Sonic Heroes, since I saw it as fitting.

Kingdom Hearts Doodles

Since Kingdom Hearts is currently getting a resurgence in popularity, mostly due to both the recent D23 panel and Kingdom Hearts 4 FINALLY getting new stuff, I thought it would be cool to share these doodles I drew of the "Destiny Island Trio" a while back. I would've shared these along side a bunch of other doodles but I felt like sharing it on it's own. I'm really proud of the way I drew Riku and Kairi, since I rarely draw them compared to how much I draw Sora haha.

The little Sora signature is based off of this signature Sora used when he was a meetable character at Disney World. For the Kingdom Key, instead of using the usual golden yellow color pencil I used for Sora's shoes and Riku's jacket, I used the mango color pencil, which I feel like matches more with the artwork and 3d model of the classic keyblade. And of course, it's not a Kingdom Hearts collection without at least including Goofy and Donald. 

And while I'm here, I want to send my condolences to the original voice of Kairi, Hayden Panettire. we all miss you very much.

           ~MrJrC

Wabbit and Alien

This little drawing idea was something I wanted to draw during this years Artfight, especially giving how popular these two characters of mine are, at least in terms of how many people drew them during both last year and this year's Artfight. Those being Tobi the Alien (shocker I know.) and my rabbit fursona J.C. 

The pose was semi inspired by this photo of Michael Jackson and Pinocchio from the Disney Adventures magazine. Along with being influenced by the long since gone trope of cartoon creators taking photos with their characters. You can find some really good examples right here!

Art Commission for SoraPeppermint

Been a long while since I've shared my commissioned art work haha. Last night a good friend of mine (and fellow Oswald the Lucky Rabbit enthusiast) SoraPepperMint/SorathePanFloof commissioned me to draw a persona they made, based off of Oswald next to the lucky rabbit himself! 

Had a ton of fun drawing this cute piece, though one thing I'm kinda kicking myself for not adding is some sort of heart in the background. Oh well. I'm still proud of the final result regardless.

And if you want to commission me yourself, be sure to check out my Ko-fi for more details!

Art Fight Goodie Bag

Hey everyone! Another July means another ArtFight has passed! Sadly I barely contributed for this year, due to lack of motivation, and due to me being focused on my personal projects. Meaning I sadly couldn't fully join in once I had the time too. However, I do have a few pieces from this year from other fellow artists that I would love to share. Credits to each artist will be provided if you want to check them out yourselves!!

First up is this drawing of Tobi hiding a hammer behind his back, drawn by Chance18, I love how mischievous he made Tobi, it weirdly fits him. Chance's art style fits Tobi a ton, and the innocent expression really sells how much of a devious prick Tobi can be!

Next up is this drawing of my rabbit persona drawn by SwearInPencil, I've always loved this particular artist's work, so seeing him draw the wabbit was both very surprising and also very amazing!! I can tell he used this particular piece as a base. Also he's chewing on a carrot. Delightful. 

Next is this funny scenario, involving two trash pandas fighting over a pizza! Drawn by BakerCat! Glad to see Ricky's getting some love even if it involves him well.. acting like a raccoon haha. I also love the addition of little raccoon in the picture, I should draw them one day...

Now we travel to the land of France for this particular drawing of Mr. Wulf. Drawn by Japolf. Bit on the more simple side, but I do adore the style here. Plus it's nice seeing the new design get more love (as apposed to his more recognized brown fur design a ton of people have gotten used to). Really good work!

The next one was a particularly hard one to choose, since I love both pieces drawn of this particular character, but I could NOT include this simple headshot of my rubberhose inspired character, Axel the Roo! Drawn by Chronic_Town_. Really love the addition of pie eyes (I should draw him with those myself) If your curious the other drawing was this one, drawn by Miel5.

Coming up next is another drawing of the wabbit! this time drawn by BHBT2002. I really love how sharp the lines are here, it's like a weird blend of Clerks Animated and Hanna Barbera. I especially love the background, It's very pretty looking.

Last one I'll share is this cute drawing from JGLizardsCorner! being yet ANOTHER piece related to the wabbit (He got eight dedicated drawings, I'm perfectly fine ending it here haha) Just like Pencil before him, I can tell JG used this as an outfit reference. Love the addition of JG's character Lizzie being the one getting pulled out of the hat instead of... well a rabbit.

And there you have it! I've been meaning to share more pieces of fanart for quite a while, so I thought I give a few other artists a chance in the spotlight. If I may have missed any other pieces, then it's mostly because I wanted to limit how much I do want to show. That and I suck at being descriptive outside of me going "I love it!" or "I like it."

If you do wanna see more pieces from this year's Artfight, then please check out this section on my Artfight page! (you'll need to register an account if you want to view it, Sorry I don't make the rules). I do hope to return to Artfight next year, that is if I don't get either side tracked or forget to.

Tobi #14 Summer

Back to working on Tobi the Alien! This comic is based off of how my summer's been going so far, Rain, Rain, and... did I mention Rain? It especially applies to a 2 day vacation me and my mother were on. So I thought, "Well why don't I make a comic about it?" So I did!

The comic is also inspired by this early Tobi drawing I made when I first created the character, though with less detailed shorts.

Read the rest on ComicFury!

Mr. Maestro

Something I doodled yesterday to help with a very VERY painful headache. Tobi weirdly fits being a maestro. The colors used here were taken from a color palette pack a friend of mine sent me a few years ago, I might continue using them, since they're really cool and pretty looking.

The star effects are stock photos blended in, making it look a lot more whimsical and magical, if that makes sense.

Miscellaneous Art Pieces

Hey all! Apologies for the slow blog posts, I haven't really been motivated to post on this blog, along with me being busy on other things to keep up with sharing my artwork (whoops!) So I thought I'd share a few pieces of artwork of mine, that I was gonna make into their own separate blog posts, but I barely had much to share about them (akin to how I share my sketches). 

First up, this drawing of Ninten (from Mother 1/Earthbound Beginnings) next to a curious Yotsuba (from Yotsuba&). Originally drawn on March 11th. I've always had a fondness for these two characters, since the Mother series was one of the first video game franchises I've ever gotten into (sort of) and since I picked up a volume of the Yotsuba manga from my middle school's library. 

I based the pose off of this drawing Akira Toriyama made of Gohan and Arale. Since I saw these two sharing the same dynamic. I'm most proud of the color choices I used here, Ninten was easy since I used a photo of the clay model used to promote Mother 1, where for Yotsuba, I kinda struggled on what color green I wanted both her hair and her pupils to be, but I found a shade that looked good.

Next is this drawing of Tobi shaking hands with Moon Child! Originally drawn on June 11th. An obscure video game character that became popular a few months back due to a build of a cancelled Amiga port of said game getting leaked, containing a really cool intro song.

I'll admit, I was a wee bit late to the whole Moon Child fad that happened over on Bluesky, but eh, better late then never! Had a ton of fun drawing these two, though I am disappointed at how the background ended up, granted I did record myself drawing this just so I can make it into a speedpaint (Which you can find here), so I couldn't really think of a decent background at the moment. Oh well.

And last but not least, this cute drawing of Stitch and Reuben from the Lilo and Stitch franchise! I drew this for "6/26 day" a day dedicated to who else? Experiment 626! (That's Stitch's code name if you haven't seen the movie). 

Originally I was gonna this on June 25th since that was 625 day (Reuben's code name) and do a 6/26 day piece separately, but I said screw it and combine them both into a singular piece. Which I honestly think is a better idea then what I was gonna do haha. Plus it's been a while since I've drawn both Stitch and Reuben, who are both of my personal favorite experiments. So drawing them together felt fitting.

There you have it! There's probably more stuff that I could've shared, but these three are the main ones I could think of, in terms of "Art pieces I was going to share but forgot too." as always If you wanna see more stuff like this, be sure to head over to my bluesky, and if you want your own personal digital piece, then be sure to check out my ko-fi, where commissions are currently open!

35 Years of Speed and 30 Years of Wahoo!

It's that time again, time to celebrate the anniversaries of one of my favorite franchises ever, Sonic the Hedgehog!! And also Super Mario 64! This is my excuse to finally draw the italian paisano himself, mostly because it's been a LONG time since I've drawn him haha. Blame my Sonic bias for the lack of Mario on this blog ^^;

Biases aside, I still like Mario, and I will always have a soft spot for him, so it would feel wrong not to include him along side the Blue Blur. Really proud of this piece, especially the simple background. Happy 35th Birthday Sonic and Happy 30th Anniversary of Mario 64!!

         ~MrJrC

Sketches! (7/?)

Back to posting my massive collection of sketches! Of course coming from my sketchbook, and random sheets of paper I drew stuff on. If you wanna see some more sketches of mine be sure to check my bluesky account!

Keep in mind some of these were drawn in May of this year.

First off are these sketches of Cyborg 009 (Joe) and Cyborg 008 (Pyunma). I've been watching a ton of the Cyborg 009 anime (specifically the one from 2003), and videos about certain pieces of Cyborg 009 media that wasn't brought over to the states, and it got me hooked, so I doodled three doodles of both 009 and 008, mostly for practice and because I've wanted to draw these two for quite a while. I might make a dedicated Cyborg 009 piece someday.

Next is more on the emotional side, centered around Astro Boy and the boy he was built after, Tobio Tenma. I haven't drawn anything Astro Boy related in a while, so I mostly drew this to get back into the groove of drawing him, I am proud of the final result, though I'm not proud of Astro's boots. 

Next is a collection of Tobi the Alien doodles, made after I finished Mega Man V. ESPON. I wanted to get back into drawing him, mostly in preparation for the 13th comic. Also drew Tabi kissing him, and Ricky in his pajamas. Along with a unique design based off of the Sonic Riders games

These two drawings are related to Oswald the Lucky Rabbit and his feline wife Ortensia in Kingdom Hearts, the Oswald ones are of him dressed in the Organization XIII robe, akin to how Mickey wore the robe to disguise himself.

Where as Ortensia gets drawn as a royal queen to fit along side Queen Minnie and Queen Daisy! I mostly felt like doodling these since I see a ton of "What if Oswald was in Kingdom Hearts" but barely any for his wife/co-star. I also doodled her about to embrace Oswald and her along side Kairi (who I have to draw more of)

Next are these drawings of a new character of mine, Juliet! I mostly wanted to draw her to go along side Piper, since both were inspired by Osamu Tezuka's cast of characters. I also drew a piece with Piper and Juliet together, with Juliet holding a stuffed bunny, that's meant to be Greg the Bunny.

 

One female original character to another, here's a trio of doodles of Jitsuko, a lioness character of mine, mostly drew her since I haven't drawn her in a LONG while, plus she's very fun to draw. I also doodled her in the character Ulala from Space Channel 5's outfit.

From one furry character to another, here's Jun! A skulldog character who I've toyed around with for a while, but never went back to until earlier this month where I gave him a detective coat and rubber hose gloves. (also ignore the 24, that WAS his age but now I consider him in his late 40s to early 50's)

And last but not least, a sketch of Smiley dressed in a Michael Jackson influenced outfit being a blend of MJ's Bad and Black or White outfit. Along with Smiley making a goofy face haha. super proud of this one, thought you can tell I had trouble drawing the armband MJ wore in Black or White.

Welp! that's all of them! For now at least, I know there's probably more that I forgot to post here, so again. be sure to check out more sketches on my bluesky. And while I'm at it, be sure to head over to my ko-fi if you want to donate and/or commission me!
