Imelda - Tumblr Posts
I wanna know Imelda’s initial reaction to being unable to cross the bridge.
She’s never had problems before. She’s always been able to cross, because her familia always puts her photo up. Her photo has been up since her very first year on the other side.
So can you just imagine, Imelda stepping up to the scanner after watching her brothers move along ahead of her. She stares sternly at the scanner, not even giving it a second thought–in fact, she’s probably thinking about some shoe orders the family will start on after Día de los Muertos, or whether or not Miguel is working in the shop yet, or anything other than the scanner.
She hears the buzz of denial but it doesn’t register at first. She’s ready to start walking, but freezes when the sound finally does register and the clerk looks at her nervously.
“Sorry, señora, but you don’t seem to have a photo–”
“What?”
So what happened between then and the scene in the station where she demolishes that computer??
Pepita has kittens
And that was when Imelda learned she needed to get Pepita spayed. (They kept the babies though.)

This is not official! I don’t even really know if this even looks good enough that I’d need to say that, but, y'know, just in case, no, this is not official. This is an idea that’s been nagging at me for a while and wouldn’t go away, so I finally decided to make a mock-up poster for it.
And to get this out of the way, yes, I did trace a bit–Imelda was partially traced from Miguel and the Amazing Alebrijes and Héctor was partially traced from the sticker set. … And then most of the background was painted over the original poster I made this from. I wanted to emulate the Miguel and the Amazing Alebrijes style and make sure I got the setup of the poster right, so a bit of tracing was necessary. With that out of the way…
I’ve daydreamed a lot about the idea of a Coco animated series and what it would entail. In all likelihood, if there ever WERE an animated series, it would probably be focused on Miguel and/or Socorro, post-movie, with B-plots featuring Héctor and the rest of the dead Riveras, and maybe occasionally Ernesto. I would guess that would be the thing Disney/Pixar would most likely go with if something like this ever happened, because kids like Miguel and would want to see him in a cartoon.
But even so, another idea struck me… What if a Coco animated series focused on… well… Coco? What if it was a prequel series? Again, I know it’s probably not likely, but… hear me out!

For @alemanriq
Since we share a birthday we did a birthday art exchange, and she asked for Pepita and Héctor interaction, with Pepita doing something housecat-like!
So… Pepita is a very wise and intelligent spirit guide… who… occasionally gets a bad case of Useless Housecat Instincts. and then stuff like this happens
Hope you like!
Pasalubong from Imelda
Pasalubong is a Filipino tradition. It is simply any gift given by someone arriving from a distant place. That is what a wonderful friend of mine who came back from her vacation did. She sent me all these goodies. Such a lovely and thoughtful gesture.
Care Package from Imelda
A thoughtful, delightful and warm care package of cookies, chocolates and dried fruits from my wonderful and sweet friend Imelda in the West Coast.
If you have good friends, even if things are tough, they can make you laugh. If you are lucky enough to have one good friend, consider yourself fortunate... LC
