Star Wars x Voltron high school AU!!! β€οΈπππ
What do you think each of them would be interested in studying? I'm thinking aviation for Ben, mechanics for Rey, engineering for Lotor, and chemistry for Allura. However if you have any other ideas I am more than happy to hear them!
I honestly do not know how well Tumblr receives OCxCanon, but for some reason, this drawing felt like a good one to start with :')
To those not in the know, this is my Marvel OC Roxanne Brooks, superhero alias Seda. You can learn more about her on my Twitter and Instagram accounts that I have dedicated to her (and this ship), both @/OC_RoBrooks. Also see tons of cute drawings of her and Bucky being in luv.
I might delete this later :X
I got tagged by @minamorsart and it looked really fun, thanks bestie! π€π©·
(These aren't in any specific order btw)
I'm always too shy to tag people, so if you see this and want to do it, you're tagged. ππ
Hello again, people! I've been needing something to distract myself from a few media disappointments I've been getting lately from certain franchises I once enjoyed. And just in the nick of time arrive some short, sweet, lighthearted slice-of-life adventures from everyone's favorite Australian blue pup.
I'm talking, of course, about the new Bluey minisodes! I don't know about you guys, but to me these were a welcome break from... well, a lot of things happening right now. I reviewed the first batch of these back in July, so I thought, why not give my quick thoughts on these as well? I guess I've unofficially become a Bluey reviewer now? A minireviewer at the very least, LOL.
β οΈ As always, spoilers for these shorts below the cut.
Without a doubt, this short is the PERFECT representation of what it's like to be a Girl Dadβ’. π Bandit knew what he was getting into no doubt, but I like how he still played along. Of course, this is Bandit Heeler we're talking about, so we wouldn't expect less. I think that's pretty much all I have to say about this one. Oh, and that the design of the tattoo the girls did was really pretty, I kinda want it as a sticker x)
Unicorse returns! He's not exactly my favorite character (or, running gag, I guess?), but I admit that he does make for some fun scenes, especially when he isn't acting extremely annoying, and I found his annoyance levels in this short to be at just the right amount. Plus, it was satisfying to see the girls "defeat" him, so to speak, at the end. π I just hope stuff like this doesn't happen with too much frequency whenever Chilli tries to relax, because otherwise, Bandit is in serious danger. π (I'm joking of course, we've seen Bandit know when to give Chilli her space, and that's great. He can still have fun from time to time, he just better find his wife in a good mood x'D)
Okay, I really loved this one. Definitely tied for my favorite from the batch with another one that I'll mention in a bit x) Some of you may know this, but along with mom-centered Bluey episodes, I also have a soft spot for grandmother-centered Bluey episodes, since I grew up with my mom and grandma until the latter passed away last year (and it's one of the reasons why I really love the episode "Charades" despite it apparently being one of the most hated once in the fandom, but I digress π )
Anyways, up until now, we hadn't seen all that much of Nana Chris and Grandpa Bobba interacting and just, y'know, being an old married couple, so we finally got that, albeit in the midst an unusual circumstance, but I still found it really sweet. β€οΈ Especially the end. π I also think this might be the first time we've seen time cards used in Bluey? I really like those for some reason, LOL. Another thing I loved about this episode were the background details! I was really nerding out about little stuff such as the colorful pillboxes, the porcelain dog ornaments, the photos on both the fridge and shelves, etc.! As someone who literally lives in her grandma's house, all of those details made it feel more like, well, grandma's house x) I love how much love and effort the designers and animators put into small things like that. They deserve all the praise.
Also, I don't know if I'm crazy, but I'm PRETTY sure that when Bluey asked "Did you leave our blocks up?" near the end, that was the actual, unfiltered voice of her voice actress? Like, a lot of people have said that they've been digitally "de-aging" the kids voices as they've grown older so they don't have to change the actors, and I'm pretty sure her voice during that line sounded older, like they forgot to digitally alter the pitch on that one. Just something I noticed that I'm not sure if anyone else caught or not. π¬
Anyways, that review turned out longer than expected, but I can't help it. I love grandparent eps. π
I think this was the unofficial sequel to "Animals" from last batch xD The way they played the game was pretty similar, just with its own Bandit flavor and dad humor of course. I think the biggest take from both of those shorts is that Bingo is REALLY ticklish, but likes getting tickled. π Oh and, the way Bandit curled Bingo into a little ball at the end? I had no idea they could do that, but uhm, okay I guess. π
Sooooo, Chilli wants to get Bingo into violin? Even though the latter doesn't really seem interested in that? I just hope that's not something that's going to get forced onto her eventually. π¬ I mean, knowing Chilli, I'm sure she won't make Bingo do it if she tells her that she doesn't like violin. And Bingo has been getting better at speaking her mind, so, I think it hopefully won't come to that.
But anyways, about the drums: Bingo's surprisingly good at them for a beginner! π I'm pretty sure she gets it from her dad. π I think this episode was another showcase of "Bingo may seem like a calm and chill kid, but there's also a bit of a wild side to her that not many expect" that's been happening in more recent episodes such as "Dragon". Even though I do appreciate and can better relate to calm characters, that's still a fun side of Bingo to explore, so I hope they keep giving us glimpses of that. Oh, and that they let Bingo play more drums. She seemed to like them. :3
This is the other minisode tied with "Blocks" for my favorite of the new batch. π From the title alone, I'm not sure what I was expecting from this, but a film noir parody starring Unicorse's puppet lawyer was definitely not it xD But it was still super fun! A lot of animated shows that I love have actually done film noir parodies, such as the original FOP, MLP:FiM, and Monsters at Work, and those episodes always end up being some of my favorites of their respective season because of how entertaining and funny the format is. Ironically, I've never seen an actual movie of that genre in my life. π I'm not awfully sure if I'd like the real thing, but the parody is always fun to watch LOL. And even though they didn't make the episode black-and-white like is usual with this type of episodes, the way they worked with the sharp shadows through the half-open blinds was VERY clever, like this is how the family is actually playing this. Smart move, animators. π
I wouldn't mind seeing Browny Bear more often. He was quite funny and, in my opinion, more tolerable than Unicorse. π (I like the guy, he's just a bit much sometimes π¬)
Oh, and like I said: Bingo gets it from her dad. π
This one was just cuteness overload x) I'm pretty sure I wasn't the only one who got nostalgic flashbacks of playing in inflatable pools in the backyard as kids. βΊοΈ I personally never played this game, though, and even if I had thought of it, I don't think I could've, since the inflatable pools my family owned were very little even for a kid. π But it looked like these kiddos were having a blast, and that made my heart happy. AND CHUCKYYYYYYYY!!! I love that they included him, I LOVE Chucky, he's such a sweet character with an ADORABLE design. I'd love to see more of him. More love for Chucky pls. π
Like I said, I've been needing more Bluey lately. These little shorts in particular always make for some great mind soap if you just want to watch something sweet and fun. Though, similarly to what I said in the last review, I would still like to see other characters besides the main Heeler family get explored in these. We did get a bit of that with Nana and Grandpa, besides Lucky's involvement, but again: Why not give us a Pompom short? Or a Calypso short? Maybe a glimpse of Winton and the Terriers ajusting to living together? While yes, we all love the core Heelers, this show also has so many other great, beloved characters, and these 90-second shorts could be cool opportunities to get a bit more from them.
But, I reiterate: I will never complain about more Bluey content. Could there be more done with these? Sure. Am I mad at what we got? Not at all! I still have a blast watching them, and a 15 minute break from both real life and fandom-related stresses is always welcome.
Can't wait for whatever Bluey content may come next. β¨
Y'ALL HAVE BEEN SO SWEET ON THE BUCKY & ALPINE POST ASDTDJWJWNVJVD !!!!
It didn't do so well on my other socials, so it really means a lot that it's getting so much love here on Tumblr, even if I don't use it as much. Thank you all for the reblogs and likes and such. Thank you. π
Using this PFP (and new color palette) for October, since last year I didn't get nearly as much use out of it as I would've liked, LOL π
π Happy Halloween! π§Ή
Outfit based on this costume made by Alexandra Louise. It gave me Rose Gold vibes the moment I saw it, so I couldn't help but draw her in it <3
β¨ Disember entries β¨
For those who don't follow me on Instagram, I've joined the Disember challenge being hosted by some real talented artists there, and decided to do my entries in traditional media, because I haven't touched traditional in years (aside for pencil sketches) and felt like I needed to dust off those skills xD
(You can check out descriptions to see technique used for each.
I'm posting all my entries on my Insta stories (and story highlight in my profile), and these have been some of my favorite pieces made for the challenge so far! I thought they deserved their own post. If I have more entries that I end up liking moving forward, I might post them as well. ^^
I hope everyone is spending a peaceful time and that there's joy in your hearts. Love you all! βΊοΈπ«Ά
π§‘ Vee! π
She's so adorable. I can't believe I had never drawn her before. Had to fix that. I love her sm.
And here's a bonus sketchity sketch because I lowkey like it a little better than the end result xD (At least the face)
π 4 Ship Challenge! π
Oopsie! I totally forgot to post this a couple days ago, my bad. π
I enjoyed drawing all these cuties. I might do another one of these in the future, since I love drawing couples so much, hehe β‘
Here they are individually in case you haven't seen them:

(Hopefully these will work since last time Tumblr didn't let me add more than 3 links for some reason smh)
I haven't watched much of the G5 series, but I wanted to try my hand at an Opaline Arcana redesign!
