"But... they were on special."

I'm working on several different projects right now, but I wanted to take a break and make some art real quick. Unfortunately I came up with this and I felt so strongly about it I drew the rough sketch on my lunch break at work. sorry

[ripplefield1]

The Galaxy movie came out on my birthday so of course I had to draw my favorite character of all time appearing in the movie about my favorite game of all time :]

Originally this was just gonna be the drawing of Yoshi holding the Star Bit, and I was gonna put candles in it and draw it like a birthday cake. I switched focus after watching the movie and seeing Yoshi's tourist outfit, I thought that was cute. It was very difficult finding references from the movie, so I accidentally changed a few things or had to take liberties. I also threw sunglasses Yoshi in there because I'm obsessed with that frame of him.

I have a lot of mixed thoughts on the movie that aren't really relevant to this artwork, but I gotta say Yoshi was absolutely the highlight for me. I love how he was incorporated into Mario and Luigi's dynamic like a part of the friend group. Some games and other media lean into his creature/dinosaur traits further and that's fine, but I feel like he sometimes loses his identity and becomes more of a species than "the one specific character named Yoshi" if that makes sense? Which is why I was so completely in love with this version of Yoshi and watching him join Luigi in playfully ribbing Mario or showing off whenever he could (stuff like taking Luigi's bike or his reaction to getting the Super Scope from the tree). His personality is just so clear in the movie, and I think this is genuinely my favorite portrayal of him. It reminded me a lot of how I depicted Yoshi as a kid, I used to write a lot of stories with a very specific version of Yoshi I made and besides the fact the movie's Yoshi cannot talk, he was shockingly in line with all of my childhood headcanons. I even gave my Yoshi a purple hat later on and I only realized that Yoshi wears an extremely similar hat during the New York scene while I was drawing this. Thanks Illumination for including my OC-ified version of Yoshi that I made when I was 7 I guess

Did a redraw of my very first Kaput & Zösky art drawn exactly 3 years ago. Which is also a redraw of Mario smoking a blunt. Time flies...

This sort of served as a test for a rendering style I don't normally use. I had fun doing this and I like the result, so I might use this style more. Also, sorry if Zösky looks a little short in the redraw, I think I accidentally gave him SM64 proportions in the sketch and I tried fixing it with mixed results.

Here's a version without the other stuff.

Also, while I was working on this I drew Zösky's silhouette first and for some reason it reminded me of the Challenger Approaching screen from Smash Bros.? So I made this in the middle of drawing it??

(I used the Brawl screen instead of Ultimate's because Brawl's cropping of character renders fits better)

Celebrating early for 2026 🎉 Sorry, wanted to pump out one more holiday-themed thing before the new year but I didn't have time to finish it until now. Last year I made Extension Corps ornaments, now I made a Kaput & Zösky one! It's based on the Christmas episode. Santa looks a little funny this year...

This was made with shrink plastic and my dying markers from middle/high school. I messed up while making it and accidentally baked it with the color side facing down, so there's some warping on the backside unfortunately, but oh well.

Work in progress photo, including the original I made yesterday that had an accident in the oven and lost most of its frosting and color.

and a happy mew year

I said I wanted to draw Santa Claws Popoi this holiday and I followed through with that, even if I'm late oopsie. I don't like this one as much as my last Popoi art, there's a lot of empty space I meant to fill but I ran out of time and forgot to crop the canvas lol. Still, I always enjoy getting to draw my favorite cat puppet ^^ Happy holidays!

This one went through a few concepts, so as a bonus, here's my original sketches, small doodles I wanted to add somewhere, and my 2023 attempt.

I'm hoping this won't be the last art I post this year! I've still got a backlog of old stuff I wanna post before the new year, not sure if I'll be able to but we'll see. It will happen eventually I swear lmao

[ripplefield1]

"Call me the Demon King, meow! Whether you add “cool” or not… I'll leave that up to you, meow."

Happy Halloween! Popoi is a character I always associate with Halloween, likely because he's both a black cat and (probably) a demon. I thought it'd be perfect to draw his Great Demon King alt to celebrate, especially since it was revealed in October last year (I tried drawing it last year too but alas, I had art block). I've had this done since the beginning of the month but I kept forgetting to post it, so I just waited until Halloween ^^' Hope everyone who celebrates has a good holiday!

Popoi has been one of my most favorite characters ever since I was 13, and every 2-3 years I like to make a fully rendered drawing of him to measure my growth. That and the fact I failed to draw him last year are two of the reasons I made this; the third is that I wanted a Halloween profile pic to use elsewhere but had already used both of his artworks last year, so I just thought "screw it i'll make my own". This started as a headshot but I had so much fun with the sketch that I decided to just do a full drawing. I like how Popoi himself came out, but I'm not really fond of the background. I played around with changes for a week but couldn't get anything I liked, oh well. Also I FORGOT HIS TAIL I'M SORRY I'M SORRY don't call me a fake fan I promise it's because his cape was originally wrapped around his body but I changed it rather late in the drawing process... (in my defense he sometimes lacked a tail in Fever) I also hope it isn't too obvious I don't know how to draw capes...

Great Demon King is easily my favorite Popoi alt, I just think he looks so cool with that fancy cape of his and it was a real treat seeing his Evil form finally get an alt. That being said, I do really love Santa Claws and Steam City Popoi too. I usually include both Popoi forms in my art, I don't know why but I feel a little bad giving one form more love than the other. To remedy this, I'm going to try drawing Santa Claws Popoi for the holiday season since that's also something I attempted and failed to do when he was first released lol.

My friend told me to draw Ten doing this pose a while ago and I obliged because I thought it'd be funny. I tried.

Funnily enough, this isn't the first time she has told me to draw Ten in a specific pose. I also made these two almost exactly one year ago! Not sure how to feel about the fact the Extension Corps have existed in the public knowledge for over a year... im old...

I've still got one more Extension Corps art dump left, by the way, just need to finish one more drawing I wanna add to it. Until then here's extremely minimalist doodles I made on the same canvas as this drawing.

[ripplefield1]

Gotta keep up the bit

I'm still around, by the way! I've been busy lately, but I'm trying to keep drawing in the background. Might start posting batches of sketches soon.

[ripplefield1]

deltarune today... holy cungadero...

I had absolutely no time to make a big drawing for the new chapters but I really wanted to draw Spamton one more time before Chapter 2 is no longer the newest chapter, so I made this as quickly as possible (ft. my Spamton design that I've been drawing since 2021 lol)

Spamton has a very special place in my heart, I was completely obsessed with him during my entire last year of high school and would draw him non-stop. I drew him so much that I could actually see visible growth in my art skills, and I really do believe he benefitted my art a lot. I mostly did sketches back then and rarely posted my art however, so I don't really have anything to show for it :/ I feel like I owe the number one rated salesman some art, so I wanted to draw him one more time before the new chapters release. I wish I could've made something bigger but oh well, this silly rough drawing will have to do.

Sometimes I debate changing the way I draw Spamton since my art has changed a lot since I developed that design, and sometimes I worry it's a little too far from canon Spamton... but ultimately, I have a great sentimentality for the way I draw him (and my Spamton phase in general, it's hard to explain sorry). Maybe next time I'll try something different, but it felt fitting to stick with my old design for this one.

[ripplefield1]

are you guys ready

[ripplefield1]

Oh my little baby boy da di da di da di da di

Kaput & Zösky animation yippee!! Also another thing I've had basically done for months (March) but only now got around to posting. I started this as a silly thing while in the middle of a different animation (also K&Z related, still a WIP) and I ended up liking it way more than expected so I put this together in a few days. The art is kinda messy since this wasn't supposed to be serious or anything but ah well... The only changes I made before posting were slight edits to the animation/timing and adding the doodle in the outro. (sorry if change in style is noticeable)

Part of the reason I made this is because I've yet to see any fan animations for this series, so I wanted to make one! The other reason is because I thought the idea of making an animation of Kaput and Zösky with a silly cutesy song would be funny given how comically evil they are. This might be out-of-character? I based it on the ending of Kaput Is Indisposed because I think about Zösky's reaction to Kaput being himself again a little too much. Their relationship is very sweet to me :] I see this as ship art but I suppose it can be viewed as platonic too? Or a secret third thing, whatever they are in the show idk

Also just for fun, here's the thumbnail I made for the YouTube upload. I finished this today and I'm ngl I couldn't get it to turn out how I wanted which is why I'm putting it under the cut instead. Oh welllll

Extension Corps art dump part 2: Kaput & Zösky edition??? (Jan-Mar)

When I get reeeaaaally obsessed with multiple things and the interests are fighting in my head like two wolves, I like to cross them over even if the source material has no correlation whatsoever. I just think the idea of making art that fills an incredibly hyper specific niche is funny. These are from January except the Ten smoking gif, all pretty rough especially the animatic but I made them quickly for fun.

(more specific reasons for the crossover under the cut)

Okay so when Brothership was first revealed I saw a lot of people comparing the Extension Corps to the Best Fitness Friends. I was actually unfamiliar with them because I never played the BIS remake and when I saw them, Beef and Dieter reminded me of Kaput and Zösky, mostly because of their almost identical color palette. I even ended up sketching them together in September. (I was still very much learning how to draw Kaput and Zösky)

Anyway, getting reminded caused me to watch the show again. Both Kaput & Zösky and the Extension Corps have been living in my head simultaneously since then and I guess it's caused me to permanently associate the two with each other oops lol

Besides that, I also think Kaput makes a good voiceclaim for Ecks which is why I made the animatic. I don't think Zösky's voice fits Ten very well but their characters kinda give me similar vibes? So it still works I guess. I also made the animatic because I immediately thought of Ecks when I remembered that clip, given the whole handwashing exchange in Brothership.

The Ten smoking gif was just me goofing around because I've joked about Ten smoking despite not having a mouth and I really love the Zösky smoking a comically large cigar clip.

I'd like to make another K&Z Corp animatic someday! I already have another idea that I briefly started a while ago but I don't know if I'll finish it, I'm struggling a bit. Also I feel really bad for not including Shun in any of these so he will be in the animatic if I do finish. I do not want to contribute to Shun erasure

greetings to the kaput & zösky fandom (all 5 of them)

Finally posting fanart for this series! It's been sitting almost finished in my art program since February, my drawing style for these two has changed since then but I figured I should touch it up a bit anyways so I can finally post it somewhere. (Rambling about K&Z and my art under the cut)

I've been into the show for about 2 years now, but I'm only now getting around to making art for it because I didn't actually finish it until the end of last year. (funnily enough mario & luigi got me back into it, will explain in another post of art i have later)

I made the sketch in January for fun, never intended to fully render it so Kaput and Zösky are more stylized than how I normally drew them at the time. I didn't like the way it was turning out so it sat unfinished in my gallery for months. I still don't like it that much, especially since the way I draw them now doesn't really look like this anymore, but eh whatever I guess.

I will definitely be posting more later! I've got several WIPs and a few things that are almost/already finished. Might also post misc stuff about K&Z since this isn't exclusively an art account and it's such an obscure series that there isn't really a lot of discussion around it (from what I've found at least). I apologize to everyone who follows me for something else and has no idea what this is. These evil aliens have been stuck in my brain consecutively all year and I don't know why. help

Extension Corps 2024 Art Dump

(ordered from oldest to newest except first one)

(some notes under the cut)

This is most of the art I made that was posted to other platforms/is still worth posting. I wanted to separate it from the art from this year since some of it is pretty old (some were made before the game was even out!) The first drawing of Ten was already posted here for the M&L art collab, but I'm including it anyways because I still really like it and it's... well it's still the only fully rendered drawing of any of the Corps that I've made lol. The next three images are from before the game released (although I finished the third one shortly after it came out). And then there's some out of season winter art including ornaments I made. I can't even make a Christmas in July joke, I'm two months early.

shout out to the extension corps gotta be my favorite cables. Jokes aside I do really love them, they're definitely my favorite Mario RPG characters.

(temporary) Pinned Post

Hi! Name's Jam, or you can call me Aqua, either is fine. Due to some personal events, I lost most of my art accounts. I'm now starting from scratch here.

For the time being, I'll be posting my older art that never got posted here while I was on break, from late 2024 to April. Once I get around to posting mostly new stuff, I'll redo my pinned post.

My current interests are Mario (more specifically the Extension Corps from Mario & Luigi Brothership) and Kaput & Zösky. All of the art I'll be posting will probably be related to either of those two (or both) for a while. Besides that, I also love Kirby, Undertale/Deltarune, Hollow Knight, and a plethora of other things!

This is my main account for posting my own stuff. To keep things clean, reblogs will be on @ripplefield2 . Life's busy, so I probably won't be super active.

Thank you for reading, and have a nice day :]
