now that i'm posting about comatelma again i should finally release these from the archives. part of a 2024 series i never finished of cmtm characters in outfits based on arizona tea cans
my original planning scribbles. daewon is lemon, julian is raspberry, samshulann is kiwi strawberry and ramiel is mucho mango
them all together... i would go back and finish daewon and ramiel but i feel like my style/how i draw them has evolved a little and they'd look out of place. and i have so much other stuff i wanna draw!!!
and all of these are revisiting a 2020 drawing with the same concept (julian was lemon in this one instead). sam didn't wear big long skirts yet and julian was blond and cis. really scary
my car but i drew her as an anthro horse. her name is ricky, idk how i came up with it it just came to me when i got her. i'm gonna turn her into an actual oc that plays for the cape doris jays, i just haven't gotten around to it. johnny is incredibly jealous of he
bear bestie and i at a kumquat festival and several attempts at figuring out how to draw yuki
brief return to furry hivemind art... i don't like the direction their content is heading now so i haven't watched in a while but they'll always be in my heart. furry michael and david lostboys are there also
more grizzlies fanart. i have been struggling to draw ja well consistently but i really like how i drew him in that top doodle. also on the side i drew furry edey as a bull but i've changed my mind i think he's a przewalski's horse instead
new ocs! the african wild dog is izaak ohtani and the cheetah is jaylin mills (this was before i changed his name so it says jamil on there still). izaak is jamie's roommate, i have no clue what his major is but he's a twitch streamer on the side. jaylin plays for the cape doris jays, i changed his name from jamil to jaylin because i read this article about the popularity of the name jalen (and variations) in the nba and i thought it was really cute. izaak is probably bisexual and doesn't know it yet, but jaylin is a completely straight guy who just acts gay sometimes. they are doomed yaoi in a sense. i will draw more of them eventually i've been itching to make a "straight guy who acts gayer than gay guys" character for forever
since i've posted their doc, here's a bunch of comatelma scribbles i've done in the past week
descriptions under the cut
1: working on redesigning wiltkewan (who also needs a new name) + notes on heaven + more drawings of angel null
2: beginning of arc 1 + pre-story stuff
3: non-canon idea for julian if i were to go full "edgy fallen angel" with him, julian's mangled back, and random baby julian + ramiel
4: figuring out daewon's outfit because i'm not happy with his current one. i need to think more about what seungyeon put in the time capsule, those are probably the only things he'd REALLY want to wear
5: sam doing nothing, julian at a pistons game, wiltkewan doing nothing (and i also forgot her missing eye again LOL), daewon doing nothing. julian is a pistons fan because they're red and blue and also i think he'd like cade
6: figuring out ramiel's outfit because i'm not happy with her current one, in retrospect i'll probably keep the hoodie. also sam in the corner with lyrics from "... well, better than the alternative" by will wood
7: another sam continuing from the last page + me figuring out his (and wiltkewan's) "old heaven" looks (i really like the idea of them wearing helmets or headdresses when they're doing their god stuff)
8: top is pretty self-explanatory, samshulann and daewon both believe they shouldn't be alive for different reasons. bottom is a little moment from the beginning of arc 2. here's a 2022 doodle also from that
(when they wake sam up, he's naked, so julian lends him his cloak. sam is feeling really normal about it)
random sketchbook things i've liked enough to scan
descriptions and such below
1: just a ferret riley i really liked. im kinda tired of hivemind's content these days i must admit but he will always be in my heart...
2-3: anatomy scribbles before i made the updated height chart
4: egyptian vulture i drew for a club meeting. ref pic below by frank cornelissen
5: my oc julian as an arctic wolf. sorry julian for not working on your story for like a year idk when ill come back to it. heres a colored version of that pic also
6: omar and jamie gay moments. they are very touchy with each other and santiago thinks THEYRE dating at first so he doesn't ask jamie out for a while. once omar clears it up he finally makes a move LOL
7-8: figure drawings, first pic was 10 mins each and second pic was 20 mins each
9: null and johnny species swap, null is a blue roan horse and johnny is a maine coon. also jamie is there as a ferret. heres a colored version
10: new character, this is andre's cousin and roommate, kain. he is a 27 year old african civet and also a bartender. him and andre's jobs are both making drinks for people. all the other info about him is scribbled onto the page LOL
1: middle school me as my fursona. i realized that i could draw myself with baby tapir spots and i was like 'well holy shit i have to do it now'. also featuring jeff the killer as an opossum
2: my ocs sam and julian based on this post. hopefully this will be the year of me drawing my ocs more LOL i obviously like drawing hivemind but i want to actually Do Something with my ocs this year at some point
3. saw a post that said january 16th is "appreciate a dragon day" so i doodled this of my dragonsona at mach speed before i went to bed
4: i drew this as part of a tutorial thing to help a friend out with drawing from reference without going crazy. however i do not feel like posting the whole tutorial. just enjoy long(er) hair hatless riley
5: riley's fursona except i drew the pic from 2018 where he has the exact same hair as sunset shimmer from mlp
6: i loved dignan's matching hat and sweater in the recent best tweets video so of course i drew him as a furry in it
1: front page of the sketchbook cus i like to do something a little more elaborate for that. however i didnt have any ideas so i just drew me with the three groups of characters/people that i like to draw (my sumakha ocs, hivemind, and my comatelma ocs)
2: doodles from after kenny beecham's hivemind appearance adding him to the hmfcu (hivemind furry cinematic universe). usually i avoid giving people domestic cat/dog sonas but i associate dogs with sports so much and ALL i know about kenny is that he likes basketball. so hes a dog
3: notes about furry shit. one thing about me is i love to draw comparative furry anatomy diagrams
4: bunch of quad doodles after the release of scrapyard III (mostly based on the easier mv but guess who quad is also there). i changed his fursona to a sheep literally RIGHT after my hiatus started LOL
5: random hivemind stuff from the same day as the scrapyard III doodles
6: i have catboy toxoplasmosis (also ft. my friends and i at the bottom)
7: redraw of one of hiveminds instagram pics :-) so cute creachers
8-9: redraws of older art (first one is here and second is... something i never posted LOL) but in my Silly Mode artstyle that i developed so i can have a little fun whenever im feeling frustrated with my Normal Style. it's somewhat inspired by @crosssssky's hivemind art, please go follow them!
10-11: oc stuff (and graydon and dignan at the bottom of 11). love hivemind but im hoping my brain will cool down on them in 2024 cus im planning to actually Do Something with my ocs this year. idk when ill actually post about that tho
12: bidding farewell to 2023... im so good at drawing exactly four different furry species now
