Oh my goodness! This took me almost 7 hours. I ended up having to re work the perspective. At one point he looked like he was going to fall off the building! I’m satisfied though. Just don’t think about the anatomy much. I’m putting more effort into my composition and colours. I mainly do it by stealing, I mean studying, composition and poses from League of Legends splash art I find on Pinterest

I watched Arcane and my brother played it when I was small all the time. A. K. A. I don’t know much about the video game other than the art (look my relationship to modern digital illustrations is complicated because my art teachers really hate it and I can see why) implements certain art techniques quite well. That was a long sentence! Anyway back to my painting? Drawing of Mulmangcho?

The improving in composition and colour go hand in hand. Different colours got different values. Meaning that if you switch the image to black and white certain colours are going to be darker or lighter. Your job as an artist is to make the piece be readable even if it was switched to black and white. With readability helps out composition! Composition is placing objects and colours in a certain way to guide your eye through the image.

As you can see the image still looks good in black and white. I made the parts I wanted the viewer to focus on the lightest. Like mainly the face, the gun and sort of the rest of the figure. I made the background darker so the lighter parts would stand out even more.

Now this is a piece I done a day or two ago. Um. Ignore the shadow not making much sense. I drew it like that so it goes in the same direction as the hand. I still did the thing of making the parts that are in the front the lightest. But the contrast isn’t… contrasting that much.

Here I added some screen tone. Much better no?

Hope you didn’t mind my monologue about art. I wanted to show off a bit to non artists just how much goes into making art. And trust me. There’s way more you got to keep in mind when doing an art work. If you get a lot of practice in, or just have talent (most people have a mix of both) it comes naturally to you. Kind of how you don’t need to think about how to take a step when walking.

If you’re an artist and I peaked your interest in art fundamentals I would recommend the YouTube channels Sinix Design and Proko. Bet ya they will explain everything far better than I can. Lastly it helps me out to recap what I’m doing. It gets stored in the head better. I never would have realised, just how much I know about the anatomy of an ear, if I didn’t explain it to a kid in a language I’m slowly forgetting all my vocabulary for. Sorry Slovak teachers, you tried your best.

Originally I wanted to talk about how I’m rewatching Squirrel and Hedgehog. It’s far better on a rewatch. The plot is very complicated. I still feel like I have to open up a word document and take notes. But at least I have an idea what is going on. I think I will talk about that more in another post.

Ooooo! What’s this? An original character from my original story? Ignore the Disney Wish redesign tag. Heh. Heh. Glances nervously from side to side.

I tried doing a chicken scratch art style thing. Inspired by the artists elektricnka (on instagram) and @chasefoxart.

So this is my OC Viera (means faith, but I might change her name later). She did start as a redesign of Asha from Wish. Everyone was planning on doing rewrites of that movie when it came out. So I decided to join the band wagon. But I didn’t feel like keeping the original Spanish inspired setting. I’m already exhausted from doing endless research on early 20th century Korea. So I decided to change the setting to something inspired by my home country of Slovakia. Specifically 1950’s Slovakia. There’s still a lot of research to be done but having some basic knowledge makes things a whole lot easier.

I gave her a modified version of the Kralovany Kroj. I mainly simplified the crazy amounts of detail. I liked Asha’s concept art design where her colour palette was orange red. This is the closest traditional dress I could find to that (each village in Slovakia has their own dress).

Viera is an introverted book worm like Asha in the concept art (if you can’t tell I really like Wish’s concept art). She dreams of becoming a magician. You could say it’s her wish! In my version instead of giving wishes to… president Magnifico (got to give him a new name) people give their ability to do magic to the government on their 18th birthday. The government claims that with the combined magic they can cast bigger better spells than any one individual.

Originally the people would use their magic to help their crops. Now the crops are dying because the government’s corrupt. To make matters worse the hospitals don’t work either and Viera’s father’s sick. She tries to heal him with her limited magic knowledge. But it’s not working. So she sings This Wish (she figures out on her own the government is lying). And who shows up? The star boy! Of course he’s in this! Except now he’s a god, based off of the Slavic pagan god Yarilo.

There’s far more to the story. Such as developing Viera’s (Asha’s) grandfather more. Developing more Dahlia (I got rid of the rest of the friends). Themes of being an outcast. Now this one I’m proud of. For a while I couldn’t figure out how to keep Viera biracial. Then I decided to make her mother a traveler. A wild spirit that couldn’t stay in one place for too long. Viera has a complicated relationship with her. She left when Viera was small. Because of Viera’s skin colour she’s often ostracised. As an outsider she can see the faults of the system better than anyone. But thanks to her father she has an undying love for the culture and wants the best for the people.

What do you think of this story? I will probably get around to working on it in the summer. I’ve got a thing I still gotta finish.

I’m back ya’ll with more art! I had all the characters designed for a while but didn’t get around to posting them. Now I’m going through sort of an art block. I’ve got lots of ideas for stuff but everything I draw is crap. So I thought I should catch up on my other stuff. Like talking about this squirrel design for Apple Jack. Now isn’t she cute!

I really like the colours on the powered up ponies. Though I did give her a different shade of pink I thought suited her better. I also gave her a bolo because southern. These uniforms aren’t supposed to be realistic. More like something they would wear in promo images. Lastly look at the little band I put in her tail. I should do something like that with other squirrels.

I made her a squirrel because they’re farmers and Apple Jack’s personality is farm. Nah. I don’t approve Apple Jack hate. I didn’t think of her all that much, when I watched MLP as a kid. Now as an adult (it feels so weird writing that) I find her relationship with her family quite interesting. She always puts herself last. Probably because she was parentified, by having to take care of Apple Bloom and the farm. One of these days I got to write an Apple Jack / Rainbow Dash fanfic. I think she contrasts well with Rainbow Dash’s selfishness.

In the Squirrel and Hedgehog universe she would be raised very patriotic. She would often be the voice of reason. Though she would butt heads with Pinkie Pie over leaving her family and Fluttershy for not wanting to serve her country.

I don’t know why my ramble about the first character is always so long. Anyways. One of my best designs, Rarity! Originally I wanted to make her a mouse and reserve the weasels for the alicorns. But come on. Rarity deserved all the glam only reserved for high ranking military officers.

She was born into a royal family. Given a high ranking position in military since birth. Rainbow Dash had to earn her high rank through blood sweat and tears. With both of them having quite strong personalities they would of course hate each other. Rarity likes being in the military and bossing animals around. Though she can be a bit too much sometimes, she has a soft spot for mice. She doesn’t see them as her equals, but treats them better than many weasels.

Lastly Twilling Sparkle! My best design. It’s the bangs and eyes. I specially didn’t put any highlights in them. The idea for her came from my IRL friend. She told me Twilight Sparkle should be a lab rat. Technically she’s a lab mouse but the joke still works! Once I get over this drawing problem I might do the honorary seventh members. Sunset Shimmer (probably a fox) and Starlight Glimmer (definitely a hedgehog).

Until now I haven’t thought of how Twilight became a scientist. She probably started as a regular soldier. Then one day they needed a lab assistant. She would prove to be quite good so the scientist decided to teach her the ways.

Now I guess I should mention my idea for this MLP Squirrel and Hedgehog fanfic. Basically the mane six would crash on a deserted island. They would have to throw away all their prejudices to survive. Proving friendship is magic. I should do some research how war prisoners are transported. And some research on military ranks too. I’m not sure who is captured. I thought it would be the weasel side considering there’s a scientist amongst them. But on the other paw how would a group of ordinary soldiers manage to catch such high ranking animals?

If you got any ideas for this story, please write to me.

IT’S MY BIRTHDAY Y’ALL!!!

Last year of being a fucking teenager! LET’S GOOO!

I wanted to make a special post. But I was too busy drawing Squirrel and Hedgehog characters inspired by the main six ponies from My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic. I wonder what is the crossover between the SaH and MLP fandom. I know of one blog.

First of all we got Rainbow Dash as a crow captain. I think this is the first time I’m posting my new way of drawing antro birds. Previously I drew them with hands. They were supposed to be like rolled up wings but I don’t think I conveyed it visually. It was funny to imagine them flying by just flapping their hands about. Like the bird people in Bojack Horseman and Tuca and Birdy. It works for those shows but not for my edgy Squirrel and Hedgehog AU.

I made Rainbow Dash a crow because WE NEED MORE CROW OCs. The crows in the show are treated horribly! There’s no named crow character and when they show up they’re usually beaten up and killed. I want to make a crow OC challenge where we all make a crow OC (duh). I’ll probably make a separate shorter post announcing it. I don’t know how many people actually read these rambles. But you can start drawing your OCs if you want.

Now. Back on topic. Rainbow Dash. Her backstory. Simple. I’ve got NO IDEAS. Personality wise she’s the same as the show. Bossy tomboy.

Next up. Fluttershy. I never actually drawn a duck besides Murori. Well. And a couple background ducks. Which reminds me I should add wings to them.

There’s a little more to her. Once again. Personality same as the show. She didn’t want to join the military. Obviously, look at her! In my AU the Duck Village is very patriarchal. Women aren’t even allowed to fly. Fluttershy would be fine with that. But tough luck. With the war everyone who can fly has to apply.

Lastly for today Pinkie Pie. I could have done the pun of Porkie Pie but… just as with crows we need more rabbit OCs. I’ve seen one and that’s it.

The backstory for her is that she ran away from her abusive family to Flower Hill. She’s always cheerful and bit of a clown. Believing everyone deserves a laugh especially during something as tough as a war.

I had fun designing all of them. I’ve been watching a lot of Jackie Drojko on YouTube so I know this is far from a professional job. But I had fun with choosing the colours. Adding little details such as making Pinkie Pie extra fluffy and doing the colourful bangs. The second batch is going to be better. I got more used to drawing digitally again. I thought these glorified sketches would be done faster digitally.

With that I leave you for today. I got to eat my dinner before it goes cold. Please let me know what you think of these designs.

[bobbybutterfly]

Here's the second batch of pictures I promised!

First up for today is Luna with her bat wing beanie, I mentioned in my Sunny and Luna post. The story is that Sunny got really into knitting and made Luna this hat as a birthday gift.

Originally I wanted the wings to be huge. Then I realized how stupid that is. I could have done some sketches before jumping right on the main piece. It would have benefited her hair greatly. Believe it or not those gray sausages are actually dreads.

Ohoho! This one! My pride and joy. It better be! It took me like 4 days to finish. The reason why I'm posting it with other art is that as with a lot of backgrounds I don't have much to say😅.

Our last picture today is of Violet Willows! We're just going to ignore her sixth finger...👀

To be honest she's not my best work. I REALLY should have done some sketches, because this dress ain't it chief. I like the colours and the hair though.

At first I didn't like Violet's dolls. I only have her Junior doll because I'm a sucker for the 2000s. Then I realized that a lot of her fashions are inspired by 1920's flappers. A pretty unique idea for an influencer to wear. They could have just put her in some generic TikTok clothes.

Had she lived a hundred years ago she definitely would have been a flapper. Gasp. 1920's Rainbow High AU?!

As for her character... Look as a gen Z person I hate influencer characters in media. It's one of the main reasons you won't get me to watch gen 5 of my little pony past the New Generation movie. She isn't as bad as some other characters (looking at you Pip) but she's definitely not anything to write home about. Or should I say post?

Anyways I hope you liked these pictures.

When you're running a blog you either have nothing to post or you have far too much to post. That's why you're getting a special treat today. Several full color pictures! WOOOO!

First of all this is an older picture of Field Mouse 6 I did for @32girassoisdevangogh. Ages ago I googled Squirrel and Hedgehog fanart and managed to somehow find my sketches of Field Mouse 6. They were so faint you could barely see what was going on. That honestly pushed me into coloring my drawings.

I did this one with my old markers. They're far darker which is quite a problem as once you lay a color you can't lighten it with a pencil. Let's ignore that I somehow managed to do the impossible when it comes to the uniform.

A picture of Geumsaegi I originally drew for @wouldyouliketoseemyshell 's ask. It's pretty cute though I wanted him to look younger. It's those long legs. As for why he's dressed as a Victorian news boy... I honestly thought that this was something a kid in the 1920's would wear. My bad😅.

This is my OC Choon Hee. What's this? Someone in the fandom already has a squirrel named Choon Hee? Damn it! Write to me what I should name her.

She's got melanism, which is an overproduction of melanin in animals. She's looking a bit uncanny. Black fur is super hard to do. It's very shiny that's why I didn't put any markers under it. Black also sucks in a lot of colours. That's why I added blue and purple.

As for her personality she's very feminine. Enjoying picking flowers and cooking. But she also has quite a fiery attitude. A typical tsundere. Mainly to Juldarami.

Lastly a picture of Mulmancho dressed as a prince. To quickly explain his backstory in my AU he was the crown prince of the Mouse Kingdom. Until the mice pulled a peasant uprising funded by the weasels. Now Mulmancho is undercover in the weasel army waiting for the opportunity to rebuild his empire.

Who knows if I ever get around to doing something with this idea. I got a GAZILLION Squirrel and Hedgehog fan project ideas.

What do you think about the drawings? This post took me a while to put together. There's more art I want to show that's not Squirrel and Hedgehog related.

[bobbybutterfly]

how do you think bamsaegi would react to geumsaegi and Juldarami? Change in relationship?

I think Juldarami and Geumsaegi were together Bamsaegi's whole life. I always thought of them as the childhood friends turned a couple. Raising him as wholesome gay parents.

Geumsaegi and Juldarami never openly talk about being a romantic couple. Bamsaegi thinks they're just "good friends".

I like the idea of Bamsaegi being closer to Juldarami. Geumsaegi always nags him. Seeing Bamsaegi's interest in science as lesser than the military.

Juldarami on the other paw could let Bamsaegi talk at him for hours about science. Even thought he doesn't understand a single thing he's just happy that Bamsaegi's happy.

I hope you liked my answer 😁

[bobbybutterfly]

I made a linocut print of Geumsaegi and Juldarami! I wanted to make one since a lot of North Korean propaganda is made out of linocuts. There's actually a book, Printed in North Korea, I might pester my mom to get me for my upcoming birthday.

My gripe with this print is that I could have planned it out more. Draw several sketches and plan in which direction I will cut you know. Once again preproduction is my greatest weakness.

I based the image off of this poster

Eventually I want to put it on some T shirts. Maybe a hoodie. My mom told me if I want to do that then I got to change the gun. There's a lot of war refugees in our town you see. We don't want to repeat what happened with the last linocut print.

I made a Dragon Ball hoodie with a big ass Z. I never got to wear it outside because before it coul even dry the fucking invasion happens.

Anyways. Anecdote aside. Shovels are far easier to draw so I didn't mind. I turned it into a scene in my Super Secret Project. Geumsaegi and Juldarami are returning from a building site. Juldarami won't stop talking all the while Geumsaegi is trying to read a book of speaches by Commander Gosemdouchi.

I changed up their personalities a bit in my Super Secret Project. Juldarami is a bit of a himbo now.

What do you think? If you want your own T shirt send me, a complete stranger on the internet, your size and home address.

Sunny and Luna fanart!

Shout out to me procrastinating on my long term project! Also should out to @sillyprettyfairy for their lovely response to my last post🥰.

I originally wanted to only draw Luna as I don't really like her fashions. I wanted to resign her. Her best outfit was the chrome bodysuit dress in my opinion.

As inspiration I used cyber and mall goth. I like how her dreadlocks turned out to look like wires.

Sidenote but outside of custom made dolls (and the one Zendaya doll) I never seen dolls with dreads.

I included Sunny because... I don't remember. I made a lot of her clothes be knitted. I imagine she really got into the hobby one winter and just went CRAZY! 🤯

Something I got to draw is Luna with a knitted black hat with bat wings.

Besides the usual issues with anatomy (grrrr hands) I'm quite pleased with the illustration. What do you think of it?

Since the last post I rewatched the whole of season 1 and I got an idea for a head cannon/au?

Both Sunny and Luna are autistic but it shows in different ways.

Sunny is very emotional, feels great empathy, loves to be around others and make them happy. I think she also masks a lot, she's very anxious about what others think and scared she might lose people she loves.

Disclaimer! I haven't seen any episodes with Luna, I only read the wiki and seen some videos about the later seasons.

Luna struggles with feeling emotions and empathy. She appears cold and likes to be alone. She's at peace with who she is and doesn't try to hide it like Sunny. I imagine they had a falling out because Sunny always pushed on her to hang out with others. Luna does eventually come around to making friends. Realizing that she doesn't have to be with someone 24/7 and share everything with them. Maybe Sunny even learns a bit from her about setting healthy boundaries.

I have a lot of things I'm working on, but it is a pretty good idea for a fanfiction. What do you think?

Fanart of Sunny Madison from Rainbow High! I don't think I mentioned on this blog, I collect dolls.

Sunny is my favorite character from the franchise. It's been a while since I watched the show. I only got to season 2 though I did watch videos summarizing what happened afterwards.

I remember Sunny came off to me as autistic. I don't remember why. I got to rewatch the show. I do remember though, I brought her base doll (even though I don't like it very much) because I related to her.

Damn you glorified commercial!

I also designed an outfit for her. Shout out to the designers. Putting together an outfit is HARD! I like the sailor uniform collar.

What do you think of my fanart? Do you feel like Sunny's autistic?

what re your plans for bamsaegi for the project? No spoilers

Thank you for all the asks about my project🥰.

Bamsaegi. With him I'm planning on exploring what it means to be a kid growing up in during the war. I can't say much more without going into spoilers of course.

Enjoy this picture though. I'm using a new technique with coloured pencils over alcoholic markers

[bobbybutterfly]

First post that isn't an ask in ages!!!!

I made this painting today as a celebration of having done nine backgrounds already. Only about... A billion left to go 🤣.

I'm suffering!

I might use this as "box art" for when I release the Super Secret Project. Though I want to make a nother fake propaganda poster inspired by those showing unity between Soviet countries.

They're the gayest thing I've ever seen!

It would be like a squirrel and hedgehog giving each other a bro hug. It fits more with the story.

As for the writing under it, it means something like Be ready to sacrifice yourself for your leader. Though when my dad pointed the Google translate at it, it said something like The leader's association. I just picked this slogan off of wikipedia.

Ultimately it doesn't matter as long as it's not completely off topic what's written there like Banana!

This poster was influenced by Chinese propaganda more than North Korean. North Korean propaganda is far more chill depicting like pretty landscapes and happy workers. Chinese propaganda from Mao's era on the other hand! Everything dowsed in blood red. People are screaming their heads off.

I read a book I'm yet to finish about the Cultural Revolution, Ten Years of Madness, and it makes sense for the time period.

I'm tired and begining to ramble. What do you think of the poster? If you know Korean, please tell me what that text I put on it says. I will update you on how's the Super Secret Project going later.

P.S. there are two photos of the painting under different light. Tell me which do you prefer.

#my art #fanart #squirrel and hedgehog #furry art #acrylpainting

[bobbybutterfly]

do you have any progress on any projects?

Hey fellas. Guess what?! I ain't dead. Just super depressed. That's why I wasn't posting much.

As for progress on my projects? I actually did quite a bit! I was about to compile all I've done on the Super Secret Project. As I said, if I don't finish the Super Secret Project I will release all I've managed to do.

I actually ended up writing a fair bit instead. I wouldn't say we're in the home stretch yet but we're getting there!

Something that will take a fair bit longer is all the art. I decided to remake all the assets as I didn't like the size I've been working on before.

As you can see I upgraded to a format a bit larger than A5. And I'm glad I did. I don't know how I would paint the scene I've been working on today on such a small piece.

At least now I can show off the backgrounds I originally done.

I like these. If I'm feeling lazy they might end up in the final product. There are issues though.

I learned since working on these how to paint grass. The first one though pretty, doesn't work with the story. I hate it's digital art prototype but at least it works better in that way. The second one is neat. The third one... I was going to give a very light spoiler warning but honestly. What's even going on?

I know. But do you?

They're inspired by North Korean landscape paintings. I have a strange fascination with paintings from there. I cannot explain it really.

I find it funny that the landscape paintings remind me of the Hudson River School. LOL.

So... I hope to keep working on this project. I honestly don't know if I will want to ever heard the words Squirrel and Hedgehog after this is over.

As for those short stories? No.

what do you plan to do with geumsaegi for you project? No spoilers

He’s pretty much the one main character of my Super Secret Project. The real main character is a blank slate so you could insert yourself or your oc into the story.

I’m exploring his psychology. Why he’s so eager to sacrifice his life on a whim. I know in the cartoon it’s because of propaganda. Duh. But I found it interesting. I had this idea for a scene in either a short story about Scout Gosemdouchi or in Super Secret Project.

Scout Gosemdouchi and Geumseagi are hanging out. Somehow the topic of what will you do when the war is over comes up. Scout Gosemdouchi plans on starting a family. Geumseagi suddenly realizes he never thought of what he was going to do. The idea of surviving the war ironically scares him. Seeing it as a failure he didn’t give his everything into keeping his loved ones safe.

It needs some work still done on it. Why does he have all those fantasies of meeting back up with his loved ones? Erm. Deep down he wants to be happy but doesn’t feel like he’s worthy. Why does he feel like he’s not worthy? You got to wait for me to finish working on the Super Secret Project to find out. But it’s probably because he feels like he fucked up and is trying to redeem himself, in his mind, through being a soldier.

The project isn’t going to follow cannon completely. For example Geumseagi always being stone cold. Instead of how it is in the show, where the war hardens him. And of course it wouldn’t be a Bobby Butterly glorified fanfic if there wasn’t a complex father son relationship.

Do you have some ideas for Geumseagis’s psychology? Feel free to write it in the replies.

Also feel free to sent me more asks about Squirrel and Hedgehog. It’s always fun to answer them.

I'd love to see how you draw Field Mouse #6 and to know if you have some headcanons for him!

Here you go!

To be honest I kinda forgot about him. I got him confused for the stuttering mouse in episode 2 I think. Getting excited about developing more a disabled character. Disability is something I should look into. I only have experience with autism because that’s what I’ve got. But that’s for some other day because I looked up Field Mouse 6 he appears quite a fair bit later. Later then I thought because then I confused him with Field Mouse 2 in the 4th episode!

Field Mouse 2 was quite interesting. Instead of the usual blood thirsty psycho he seemed kinda likeable in a smol bean way. But then I remembered he died at the end of the episode so… kinda hard for him to appear in episode 6.

I rewatched episode 6 before drawing him. It’s quite iconic. Flower Hill’s Animal Games are a good backdrop. I really like the environmental design in the 90’s episodes, as a background artist. We also can’t forget the hedgehog waitress! The definition of Slay Gurl! Slay!

But to be honest, if I didn’t actively have Field Mouse 6 on my mind I would have forgotten about him again. I’m sorry. It’s just that Mulmangcho already serves the sadistic quotes and besides that Field Mouse 6 doesn’t have anything that sets him particularly apart from the previous two mice.

Mulmangcho is in a squirrel disguise if you were wondering.

Non the less, even thought it took me a while to come up with something for Field Mouse 6 I’m pretty pleased with the backstory I gave him. He’s half mouse half squirrel. Instead of him being some biological experiment, like @stju87 ‘s Saccharine, mixed species animals are just a thing. He comes from a town in Mouse Kingdom (that’s what I call the place mice come from) and his father was a squirrel who came to work as a builder. He married a local mouse and that’s how we got Field Mouse 6.

I will call him 6 for short. So 6 growing up struggled a lot with his gender and cultural identity.

He wasn’t accepted as a mouse. Getting bullied and isolated for being a lesser animal. His parents were like, we know it’s hard but you got to pull yourself by your bootstraps child. He didn’t like them very much from bringing him to life.

When became an adult he joined the military. The military looking for mixed species to work as spies (saves on make up costs). They wanted to infiltrate the Flower Hill army so they transitioned him into a male. Which he was surprisingly happy about. I thought it would be nice to have a happy transgender character that’s accepted for who they are.

Why did I make him trans masc? I dunno. We got a diversity of sexualities. Why not gender diversity?

He really likes life in the military. Living life as his preferred gender. Not being the only half squirrel. Getting looked up to as hero for doing something only a few others can. He’s still an asshole thanks to his childhood trauma though.

Kinda makes me want to write a short story about him now. LOL.

Hope you liked my head cannon. Do you have some head cannons for him? I’m also switching up my art style. Moving away from kemono and more towards a western cartoony style.

New painting alert!

Today I photographed my paintings during the day. And you can see the difference! Now there isn’t that glare from my led light. I had to wait for quite a bit till the weather was just right. For a couple weeks it was so cloudy couldn’t tell the difference between the day and night. Now it’s really cold but the pure blue sky’s beautiful.

In the last post I figured out how to link the pins from Pinterest. I put the photo into the post on my IPad. Then I saved it as a draft. Went on my phone where I put in the link. Then saved it as a draft again. Switched to the IPad because now I have this neat Bluetooth keyboard I’m typing on right now. Well. For me right now. For you it’s in the past. Heh.

With that out of the way. May I interest you in some Squirrel and Hedgehog sketches? We got a new OC on our hands! Or should I say… paws?

I felt like drawing a character with several limbs. I think they’re neat. I like statues of Indian Gods. They’re so free in their movements. I should probably research Indian dances.

The reason why I included her is that she plays a big role in my story for Bamsaegi. I made him into a scientist! I was disappointed with how Dragon Ball Z handled the character of Gohan. Oh boy. First Mulmangcho is Vegita and now Bamsaegi is Gohan. What’s next? I’m going to introduce the concept of fusion dances into Squirrel and Hedgehog?

My gripe with Gohan’s character is that his mom would always force him into being a scholar. I think Akira Toriyama was just venting out his trauma to be honest. I thought Gohan would bring more strategy into the fights. His lack of strength over shadowed by his knowledge to hit just the right place for the optimal amount of damage.

So I just tossed that unused concept onto Bamsaegi. Calls back to the ethereal question how many head cannons can you lump up on a character before they become an OC. You be the judge. I just thought that extra robotic arms were cool. By the way the glasses are a reference to adult Gohan and the hat… I like to draw him with a hat. He probably has a whole collection of them. It’s easy to hide a snack in them for a long day in the lab.

As always, that do you think of my head cannons? Or should I just say OCs?

wait, what do you plan to do with Juldarami in your project? (without spoilers)

Depends on which project you're thinking of. If it's the Super Secret Project then he plays a big role in that.

If it's the short story thing, honestly, I kinda forgot about him. Whoops. I think I will have him just be friends with Mulori. Maybe he's bit of a flirt. Personally I never saw them as romantic.
