I'm not fully participating in Geneuary but this prompt just sounded SO good, I just had to do it bcs like...I love rainbows!😁. This is inspired by those rainbow powder photoshoots...you're familiar with those right?
Geneuary Day Five: Mermaid/Magical
Happy Day Five of Geneuary!! I can’t believe we’re halfway done already!! I already shared the sketch of this earlier, while I was still sick, but now I get to show off the finished piece!! I decided to do a painterly style for this piece like the last one, except this time I used a watercolor brush. You can tell how crazy I went with the colors, pffffft.
This idea came about because I like to think Gene would’ve loved dressing up as a mermaid when he was younger. It always gave him such gender euphoria ☺️ And one of his favorite movies growing up was definitely Disney’s The Little Mermaid. And he definitely bonded over Rudy with this and they sang Part of Your World together (@ratguy-nico came up with that particular headcanon because of Rudy’s love of his stuffed flounder, Pancake!!)
[ID]: Digital fanart of Gene from Bob’s Burgers. He is wearing a mermaid costume with a tail with a bunch of scales and a seashell bra, and looks pretty convincingly like an actual mermaid. He has a flower in his hair, has his long hair tied in a ponytail, and has a huge, wide smile on his face. His arms are resting by his sides. He is colored with a digital watercolor brush, with the main colors being pink, blue, and purple. The background behind him is also colored with a digital watercolor brush. It’s a dark blue and is trying to simulate the look of the ocean.
Geneuary Day 5 Mermaid / Magical
This is Gene as a mermaid on a parade float a la Harold during Bog to Beach.

Digital fan art of Gene from Bob’s Burgers wearing a mermaid costume. He is laying on his stomach on a platform with one hand under his chin as he smiles and winks. The platform is blue and decorated with depictions of ocean life. Behind him a very large half a clam shell, fake seaweed, and some blue / green tinsel.

Geneuary prompt Mermaid / Magical
People I can not tell you how happy I am with how this one turned out >w<
I'll be honest... I forget today was prompt day XD I didn't find out until I saw @golden--doodler post (beutiful drawing by the way)
And talking about golden doodler thanks her for this one cause I was actually not gonna post anything for mermaid XD for real I decided to let 2 prompt out for different reasons and this was one of them.
I didn't know what I wanted to draw on this one, magical was too general for my brain and mermaid was the one that caught my attention the most. But didn't know what I wanted to do with it.
But then golden made me think in the Little Mermaid, and Gene and Rudy been Little Mermaid fans, and they bonding over the Little Mermaid, and this practically drew by itself... and I had to add a jelous Louise, cause I have to.
Gene is always stealing his mans, first Bob and now Rudy XD (Spaghetti Western and Meatballs reference) (of of my fav episodes)
So yeah.
Did I color it this way cause I had short time? Actually no, which made me very proud.
I really envisioned like this, since I made that Jimmy Jr x Zeke piece (you youngsters say Jimmy Jr/Zeke) I wanted to do something similar... if you dont know about what drawing am I talking about thats alright is a little old 😅
But yeah, really like this one, could be my actual fav, if I do say so myself (see I do one nice thing and it goes straight to my head 🙄)
Oh and the text is in spanish cause this is from my childhood memories and as a child if I heard the smallest word in english I would burst into tears... I was englishfobic as a child. The irony.
magical -> magical girl -> girls being girls
im really stretching these prompts lol

An impossible game of spot the difference between Gene and Dolly Parton
Geneuary Day Six: Fashion/Secret
Omg, it’s another Geneuary day, yay!! How did we get to Day Six already?? I suppose time flies.
I knew I just had to draw little bambino Gene at least once, and decided this prompt was the perfect time to do it. I like to think that secretly one day, Tina helped Gene put on a mini fashion show and model some of her old outfits (the outfits she used to wear that don’t fit her anymore). Of course, Gene was having the time of his life. Definitely one of his favorite memories of his big sis 😌
[ID]: Digital fanart of Gene from Bob’s Burgers. He is younger here, perhaps toddler age, with bigger eyes, and a wide smile on his face. His bangs are quite long, and his hair is quite swoopy and wavy. It’s fairly messy, seemingly because they’ve been cut at home. A couple of pink bows are also residing in his hair. He is wearing a pink, frilly dress with a few purple hearts on it, and it even has a clasp along the chest. The most prevalent frills are along the sleeves. He is striking a pose with one hand rested on his hip in a fist, and the other thrust proudly in the air.
Geneuary Day 6 - Fashion / Secret
This was my favorite sketch when I was planning things out for Geneuary because I love this outfit. I'd like to get back to it and fix the background eventually once my work's peak season is over.

Geneuary prompt Fashion/Secret
So...yeah... flat colors, no render, a mask of color and about the secret:
Geneuary Day 6: Fashion/Secret
I'm posting this three second animation a third time because I just couldn't help myself. I'm still quite proud of it. I'm of the firm believer that this cut line in Father of the Bob deserved to stay. It's just too good. It makes me laugh every time.
How does this relate to the prompt?? Well, Big Bob sneaking Gene some Tylenol can be thought of as a "Secret". I'm really stretching this because I wanted to post this again, ahahaha.
Tagging @br1ghtestlight because I remember he mentioned liking this cut line too. And I just think she would enjoy seeing this.
Bad news: I got the flu
Good news: nothing else to do except draw in bed
I feel like shit but finally have a designated timeslot to catch up with Geneuary!
Here are both the prompts for Jan 18th: Mermaid & Magical!!! The magical one is inspired by @raverhm 's girls being girls being girls being girls piece! Gene is absolutely a magical girl!!!!!
All will be coloured after I catch up with the sketches to optimise the remaining paper space!
Currently watching the thanksgiving episode where Gene is stranded in the bathroom bc he's sick, and it is SO relatable rn I'm so nauseous and woozy 😭😭 save me from bacteria
gene doesnt wanna participate in fronds music video :(
ive genuinely never seen this episode i just liked how he looked here.

Geneuary Day Seven: Feast/Empathy
🎶 Taco Tuesday is a day at school 🌮
A day that always makes me drool 🤤
But when only one taco was left 😔
I said, “Rudy, friend, you take the rest ☺️” 🎶
This was one of my favorites to do, and one of the first pieces I had a fully formed idea for. This moment from Nice-Capades was just so cute, and I think it perfectly fit the prompt for today. Gene and Rudy are definitely my favorite brothers. They just have such a brotherly dynamic.
[ID]: Digital fanart of Gene and Rudy from Bob’s Burgers. Gene is looking at Rudy with a sincere expression and holding a tray with one hand and offering Rudy a taco with the other, his head facing Rudy and his body facing the other way. Rudy has a surprised expression on his face and has an exclamation point next to his head. His hand is resting on his hip. The two of them are wearing casual clothing (Gene with his usual yellow shirt and dark pants, and Rudy with a purple shirt and red pants, which match his red hair). They are standing in front of a cafeteria background.
Geneuary Day 7 Feast / Empathy
„Dad, do you need a hug?“ ~
You cannot convince me that Gene wasn’t hugging his parents all the time as a child. He would have been the most sensitive little five year old. And it heals something in Bob a little more each day.
[ID:
Digital fanart of a younger Gene and Bob from Bob’s Burgers hugging in the restaurant. Gene has his eyes closed and is smiling sweetly with his arms wrapped around his Dad’s neck. Bob is facing away from view and holds his son close with one hand on his shoulder and the other on his back.

Geneuary prompt Feast/Empathy
...
Yeah I admit it is not finished T^T is just a scketch TAT
But if you could just...ignore that fact.
This drawing is completely taken out from the episode "Diarrhea of a Poopy Kid"
If being honest I dont really like 3 story episodes, i dont hate them... and now that i think about it some of my fav Genie parts are from 3 story episodes...🤔uh.
Well even if I dont really like the episode per se (i like it is very fun) The end, madre mía, the final segment.
Bob realizing Gene have food poisoning and tried to talk about it without directly adressing the fact of Gene eating the rotten food. Giving her the chance to say in her own words what happened.
Gene feeling so embarrassed of the fact that he basically ate garbage.
Gene is such a confident boy and see him feel so ashamed and self conscious for things he do is so freaking heart breaking and rare and I just love it so much.
And I love that this is a Gene and Bob moment. I truly live for them bonding as father and son, their relationship is so precious to me, it make my whole heart trumble
I take this drawing as a background exercise for me, so I will definitely will be finishing this one when I get the time😅
Hope you like even if is no finished.
Oh and as a funny fact I was between drawing this or a "Ready Player Gene" drawing. Cause yeah another awesome Father and Son episode. Bob is such a great dad T^T
Ended choosing this one cause it fit both prompts Feast and Empathy. End of funny fact.
gene and courtney show !! !
wow
empathy? does this count? i genuinely dont know lol
i sketched this while making banana bread heheheshh
Geneuary Day Eight: Crush/Birthday
I was very excited for this prompt, because I thought it would be quite fun. And ironically (I swear, this wasn’t on purpose) this prompt is happening exactly a month before my actual birthday!! So, happy early birthday to me, I guess?? God, I can’t believe I’m going to be twenty. That’s crazy.
Anyway, this mini comic is going to need a bit of explaining to fully make sense. In the first panel, what I was trying to represent is the fact that on his own birthday, Gene doesn’t really go all out, surprisingly. He’s fine with a lowkey celebration with just his family, just like Bob. Maybe a cat-shaped pancake for breakfast to make it special. But that’s all he really needs/wants for his own birthday.
However, on my OC, Alexis’, birthday, he’s the complete opposite. He goes all out. And I mean all out. He enjoys doing things like surprising Alexis in the shower in the morning (something he also does to Bob canonically, except with Bob it’s just in the bathroom, dnsnjsjsjssnj) which is seen in the panel on the bottom left (don’t worry, he still averted his eyes out of privacy). He also likes throwing confetti and setting up a huge banner for Alexis along with a huge cake. I like to think Bob helped make it. Bob’s no baker, but he really tried, and can actually make desserts pretty decently if he has enough time to practice.
The entire premise for this mini comic was also based heavily on this Thomas Sanders short, which is one of my favorites, it’s just too funny and accurate:
[ID]: Digital fanart of Gene from Bob’s Burgers wearing a simple jacket-like sweater as an outfit and an OC, who has dark, fluffy hair, and bangs that swoop to the left. In the first panel, which is the biggest one on the top, Gene is standing alone with a content smile on his face. His arms are resting at his sides, and a cat-shaped pancake on a plate is residing next to him. In the panel on the bottom left, Gene is surprising the OC, Alexis, in the shower. Alexis is showering himself up with their hands, and water droplets can be seen pouring down in front of Gene. In the panel on the bottom middle, Gene’s eyes are closed, and he has a huge smile on his face. His left arm his raised, and he is holding what appears to be confetti as more confetti rain down on him and Alexis. Alexis is now fully clothed in a simple jacket and has a small smile on their face. In the last panel on the bottom right, Gene’s left arm is still up, holding confetti, and he and Alexis and are now standing in front of a huge banner that says “Happy Birthday”. A huge cake is also behind them, with a few candles that are alight with fire, ready to be blown out. Gene still has a super happy, excited smile on his face, and Alexis’ smile has grown wider as well.
Geneuary Day 8 Crush / Birthday
I had to do it. Some Genecadero based off my headcanon that Peter Pescadero has a huge crush on Gene that he’s completely oblivious to.
[ID:
Digital fan art of Gene and Peter Pescadero from Bob's Burgers standing back to back. They are both smiling and looking very slightly towards each other. Gene has a hand held up to the side of his face with his fingers splayed out. The background is a lightly textured pink with several darker pink hearts near the boy's heads.

Geneuary prompt Crush / Birthday
This as a matter of fact was the firts Geneuary piece I drew, why? Cause... it was the first prompt that come to mind. yeah Im not that deep. At least not at thinking.
Scene from the movie Sixteen Candles, why? cause for me this movie combine perfectly the Crush prompt with the b-day prompt.
-ejem ejem- Starring in this piece not only my Genie Wieny Beanie but also co-starring as the romantic interest -dum duru dum- ALEXIS!!! oc, child of the awesome @golden--doodler also known as the person to whom we owe Geneuary @goldendoodlerlockerlove -fuegos artificiales, epic solo de guitarra, explosiones piu-piu piu-
fvk forget to mention draw Alexis heavily inspired in @drawthething commision with golden were they drew Alexis so kudos to them too. (love your drawings)
(more about the drawing down here)
... Yeah...
The thing is! As I said before this is a scene from the movie Sixteen Candles starring Molly Ringwald most known for The Breakfast Club movie that actually have an episode of Bob's Burgers dedicated to it. do you see the connection?
So yeah, don't remember if is actually mentioned but I'm totally sure Gene is a big Molly Ringwald fan, is just his type of girl icon.
The movie in itself is a movie that carries a lot of good memories for me. My mom loves to show me movies from her childhood and teen years.
I remember watching this movie with my mom we both laughing of all the craziest shit that this movie had, commenting how different movies were back then and crushing over Molly Ringwald.
And then just a couple of days ago as a way to find the inspiration again I decided to watch it again with my lil sis who almost cry in the end scene (not the romantic one, the one with the girl and her dad)
And we catch sight of a lesbian! Hunting lesbians in older movies since 2024
The thing is even though I love this movie I have to say is from the 80's, wich mean hella racist toward asian people, very misogynist, and it have boobs (that is not a real problem but since people on twit is trying to banned sex I added it) so yeah, watch carefully. But totally recommended.
There's a scene I would also draw with Tina and Bob from this movie.
Second fun fact. Even though this was the first drawing I made I didn't made the romantic interest until this wednesday.
Originally I though Alex, but I wasn't 100% convinced cause at that point I was heart broken at the realization they were probably discarding his character (note: I don't know if they are discarding the character) (read as a Mort situation) So yeah.
Then I though DAH! Courtney, but I don't ship them as a couple so that didn't seem quite right.
Then talking with Golden I got really fond of their OC Alexis and though, why not? I believed in signs.
The universe talk and I have to listen. The fact that Golden decided to tell me about their character right when I was starting to draw this piece was all I needed to know.
Also I though of just letting that spot blank and maybe made a dynamic were people put whoever they wanted with Gene. Which for me could been hella funny. But I don't think anyone would actually want to do that so yeah.
