avdol and advil

 

from the POV of a person who left their meds in avdol's fortune-telling shop... for whatever reason.

this drawing was based around one single pun lol

btw i've been having a hard time getting his hair to look right and i don't know why

anubis and medjed

 

 

two egyptian gods residing in the underworld. here they're both dressed in traditional egyptian men's clothing.

medjed himself actually looks like a bedsheet ghost with legs poking out, two eyes and no mouth, so i tried to make him look more human without compromising his silhouette. 

for some reason i wanted to try drawing without lineart in a while. i guess it looked pretty good

jotaro with a cassette tape

jojo of the eighties and an iconic item from his era.

stardust crusaders awakened me to the charm of late showa era items (although showa nostalgia is mostly about 1950s to 1970s), so thanks for that, araki-sensei

shione umi (vocaloid/utau style oc)

 

yknow i should have uploaded this earlier...

an oc made in the style of UTAU voicebank avatars and vocaloid-style original characters, especially around 2009-2012 which were heavily inspired by hatsune miku, kagamine rin and len, megurine luka, meiko and kaito. 

the art style here is made to look like something out of said time frame itself (which i have a bit of a nostalgia of), referenced from fan art archived on danbooru and zerochan.  

for some reason there seems to be only a few nautical/sailor-themed UTAUs? and thought it'd be a nice concept for such a character. it's oddly surprising that i couldn't find any character with "shione" in their name.

 

bonus: i've also doodled umi's design progression if she (hypothetically) gets gradual voicebank upgrades.

jugo and jonathan

an unusual crossover between jugo shishi from kishibe rohan wa ugokanai drama (still a part of the jojo series) and jonathan joestar from jojo's bizarre adventure part 1: phantom blood.

the origin of jugo's name has two fours in it, while jonathan's birthday is today, on 4/4. a bit forced, if i say so myself.  

anyway, maybe i should try naming a character based on a math formula/equation one day. sounds like a quirky idea.

april fools, huh...

 it's that day of the year where people make up harmless lies and prank others. 

from fake products, fake advertisements, fake announcements... all as a joke. sometimes it's a rather convincing lie, sometimes it's just so obviously fake it loops back to being funny. sometimes there's so much effort went in it, sometimes it's very cheap. nevertheless, i enjoy seeing what sort of fake stuff people make up on this day. 

to be frank, i can make up some small lies, but i'm pretty bad at convincing people that something is a lie. i don't really know what kind of prank i could pull, aside from changing layouts or announcing a fake comic book or something.

that being said, i find this to be a pretty fun event. as long as there are no incidents, that is.
