Now For Something Rather Old... From Many Years Ago When I Returned To My Hyper Fixation For The Beatles

Now for something rather old... from many years ago when I returned to my hyper fixation for the Beatles movie the Yellow Submarine :3

If you're new here you probably aren't aware that back in 2013 I became invested in this amazing film, and created aton of Blue Meanie OCs as well as many concepts and ideas for the world of Pepperland. I won't get into too much here but over on instagram I have been chatting with someone who currently loves the film as much as I do when I was younger, and she inspired me to look back at my archives and that resulted in finding this unfinished work. 

What is shown here are sketches of Chief, Max, and the many OCs I have created under the Major sub-species of Blue Meanie ( yes I AM going that deep into things ) and so far I only colored in two of my characters back then. I'm not sure why I never finished these but I'm now deciding to post these as is, I suspect I never finished these is because I liked the sketches too much to lineart them and the coloring didn't look that good with just the sketch.

Chief and Max aren't mine, everyone else here belong to me

What the dog doin?

Idk if anyone remembers from my last blog or over on twitter but I absolutely ADORE Jinmenken ( aka Manjimutt) with all my heart and HATE how the anime treated this pupper. He is my top favorite Yokai and biggest comfort character too, he literally means so much to me 🥺

It’s been a real long time since I last drew him so I decided to draw him a bit to get back used to drawing him again. I then decided to him with Fumika’s ( Katie’s ) dad since I actually have this huge AU where Fumi actually got the watch instead of Keita ( Nate ) and in the part of the story where she incounters Jinmenken, I see befriending him and after some more stuff happening he ends up at her house and her folks end up seeing him, but as a kinda “ugly” dog instead of a human thanks to a special collar for dog Yokai. It’s a lot to explain so I’ll ofc go into more detail later, but for now I can say that after Fumi explains that she “found” Jinmenken needing help, she decided to help the pup until her and her parents found his actual owner. The mom is fine with this but the dad just bonds with Jinmenken fast and the two become inseparable ^^;; Again there are details missing but I will explain better later <:3

But yeah! Just some really cute doodles of this adorable puppy 🥹

Chasing The Sands

If you were to ever pass through a thrift store, a library or some place that is rather old and/or of great importance somewhere in Pepperland, you might have come across two bizarre looking creatures surrounding instruments that measure time, weither that be a large clock, sundial, or more commonly even large decorated hourglass'. These two creatures are believed to either guard the flow of time, or are the embodiment of time itself, one represents the forward flow of time being the future, and the other represents the backward flow of time being the past. These two can sometimes very rarely be seen in visions by wielders of powerful magic, or priests, flitting through what is presumed to be the Sea of Time or some other void of space. There are no recent records of these beasts ever contacting anyone outside of certain fields... but some say if you have the right reason in mind, you might be paid a visit via a vision.

OK um wow! this!... shouldn't have taken as long as it did, like this painting took years to get done, meaning I started it years ago but then forgot about it and only recently dove back into it with new meaning. I've been trying to get into painting for a long time now since it's a form of art that has intimidated me for many years, and I've wanted to delve into making digital paintings but I never really knew where to start, until I got the newest version of photoshop and started messing around with the brushes at my disposal. I did start this in clip studio paint and ngl I'm happy I moved this to photoshop since the brush I found there helped me get a good grip on where to start my painting practice :) 

I want to make more paintings in the future but for now I hope you enjoy this one I finally finished ^^ 

Eh really a huge story but you probs get what I mean :Y

Ik these aren't canon to what we got from Lvl5 buuuuuut I have been working on a rather huge thing for Mckraken for many years now :3 Been working on and off of it with my gf and I'm working on getting bits and pieces posted ^^

I'm trying to explain to my friends that Chairman Mckraken is so interesting to me, but I'm AWFUL with words so UGH.

I wish we had more content on him because most of my opinion has to be extracted from the small bits that we get in canon. Or fanon/hcs. That too. I tend to like characters who are basically if the kniving joke villain was an actual threat and wELL. The alternate timeliness doesn't look fun (profuse sweating). He throws little puns in there and he's condescending af to anyone of no use to him 😭 he's terrible and perfect at the same time. I love him <3

I also just love that his redemption arc was implied, but all IN THE BACKGROUND. From 1-2 he got caught at some point I think. Maybe. I don't know the timeliness gets a little funky sometimes. And in 3, he's running not 1 but 2 restaurants to pay off a debt (again ??? I think so) and by 4, he's calmed down enough to where you can actually befriend!!! Yay!! Unfortunately there's low hope for Shadowside translation, but it's something!

I love to make up a little backstory for him about what might have caused his initial views, and what happened during his redemption. I want to see more interactions with Dr. Maddiman and maybe even Micchī since he might very worked with him due to the whole seal debacle. (If that's even the same Mitsumata to be fair).

In conclusion, MAKE SQUID CONTENT. THANK YOU AND GOODNIGHT.

Some more sketches! This time of two Yokai Watch OCs that have been on the back burner for quite awhile, just trying to figure them out. Who we have here are actually fan kids of two ships I really love, the first one is Roxanne, Agent X and Rongo Swirlls daughter, and the second is Oliver Kraken, Chairman Mckraken and Dr. Maddimans son.

I’ve had their designs brewing in my head for maaaaaany years by this point but atm I’ve been having big YW brain rot so I decided to attempt to get their designs down… at least their first draft. I’m sure something’s will change when I draw them more but their personalities are def set in stone :3

Omg yes I was wondering what happened! I’m so so sorry it’s taken this long to get back to you tho XC I checked yesterday and I was confused as to why your icon was an anon one. Yee! My gf and I have actually been constructing a huge AU story with Mckraken life as well as a story for Fumi/Katie getting the watch instead. We’re working on them via rps so most are already written down :3 we just need to write them in the formats of a proper fic than rp lol
