Years ago, my mom described a dream she had in which my cat was wearing various fancy hats. So, I illustrated it for her.

Something from ages ago when I saw a local stage production of Bunnicula. This is sort of what the puppet in the show looked like. (Always loved the books since I was a child!)

Jun & Mitsune (Magia Record) for the candiest holiday 🎃

[opaldoodles]

Concept: Obviously based on the idea of the Sugar Plum Fairy, a role that debuted in Tchaikovsky's ballet version of The Nutcracker. I thought it was a perfect fit for Jun because candy (obviously) and also the heavy nostalgia this story evokes around Christmastime. Plus, ballet & ballerinas - While I think Jun herself would be a little too rough and clumsy to succeed as a ballerina, she’s a perfect vehicle for that “little girl” type of nostalgia. A lot of little girls go through a ballerina phase, and The Nutcracker is probably one of their first introductions to the ballet.

Element: Light

Type: Magia

Discs: AAABC (Because we still don’t have a Light Accele gorilla!)

Magia: “Rain of the Comfits” – A riff on “Ride of the Valkyries” in which various candies rain down from the skies.

Note: “Comfit” is not in super common usage, but it is the term for candies that are basically nuts, seeds or fruits coated with outside layers. It is a synonym for what used to be referred to as “Sugar Plums,” which, as you may or may not know, were usually not made of plums at all! (Still, I gave Jun a little plum in her hair bow as a nod to today’s popular conception of sugar “plums.”)

Doppel: Gretel, the Doppel of Transposition. Its form is a traveling Gingerbread house. Its master is a willing captor, gleefully enraptured with its warm interior, which, like its exterior, is made entirely of candy. Before she realizes it, the house has moved on to a new location. It does this constantly. If she ever dares peek outside, she is reminded of the transient nature of her surroundings and doubles down on the familiar comforts inside, to the point of curling up dangerously close to the baking oven.

Note: This was very deliberately based on the fact that Jun’s family is constantly moving her around, first within Kamihama and then to outside of the city, which is explained in the “Girls in the Hood” event.

Oh?

Oh look, it’s a thing I made back in summer - in those innocent days before the server shut down 😌. At least the NA server gave us Oh? before it departed.

Happy Birthday to my friend @citrus-cactus!!  Have your very own cactus hat, designed by moi and modeled by [umm who else would it be but??] Hat King Takeru.  Originally wanted to design a really cool citrus hat as well, but kinda ran out of time and creative juices, so!  Have Patamon with a giant, heavy, lemony excuse for headwear! 🎉🎉
