Chasing The Sands

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 ^^ 

Just some art of my third sona, FerelBasta

Something simple to test out how I'd want them to look, I'll be going into detail on them later on, but for right now heres something to start out with <:

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.

Calling all artists !!!

RB for sample size maybe? I’m very curious.

Could also apply to writers!

Never thought I'd draw these two again!

If you aren't aware I made art of what I feel Mckrakens parents might look like/be, since I'm starting to get back into yokai watch I thought I might as well redo these twos first picture! Since I honestly didn't like how they looked after these years >>;; Gonna just put their old info here sinc they haven't changed -->

Marina is Squisker's younger sister, the do similarities show. She has a relaxed and calm demeanor but will become passionate about something if she takes great interest in said thing/event. Marina was always with her older brother growing up, both acting similar to best friends in ways.

Octavious's name comes from his "oblivious" nature, when in reality he actually is very observant. He too is very calm and relaxed but will jump into action when needed. His side of the family have feline genes due to his great grandfather being a bakéneko, this also explains his and Mckrakens cat like actions (and his folded ears).

I also decided to go into more of their lives since I never did so back then. Octavious's family is actually a long line of farmers believe it or not! While Marinas upbringing was rather lavish, Octavious had more humble beginnings. Shown here is Octavious starting to show young Mckraken the ropes of farming and planting crops, as well as Marina teaching him how to use kitchen tools, these come into play as Mckraken gets older since he is very skilled with cooking and such :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
