Sometimes I feel older than I actually am when it comes to this whole social media thing. I still don't know many features in these apps. And I nearly fell for a scam just now. I'm actually pretty mad.

My most unproductive day of this year. No regrets. A few things that amused me under cut.

Ten first Miis, enough for a Miis adventure.

I finally met Magolor! (Third Mii)

Dang it, was love at first sight for Pure Vanilla after Shadow Milk helped him. SMilky noticed. PV confessed in Tomoria, it was a romantic speech of how tigetjer they are a unique flavor. I had to stop SMilky from asking for marriage on day one.

Unfortunaly no Metalor. Just a one sided crush on Mags' end. But they are good friends along with my Mii.

Anyway, I added Crystal, my favorite Mii in Yoomian Island. Hugh will have to wait.

She and Shadow Milk get along surprisingly well.

BanDee enjoying apple juice as expected.

Dual pets? Dual pets!

This had me cackling. Oh no...

I felt a bit down, today. Sketched to clear my mind.

I haven't been posting any Kirby besides the animatic for my AU. I made some late night to early morning sketches. Some much is in my mind. To not go into detail, I might not make any complete pieces for the first half of this year. I might do more stuff like this, thought.

Wanted to publicize my own take on biblical angels. For the record, I'm not Christian and I don't intend an accurate representation nor insult anyone's beliefs. This was for fun.

The inspiration came after watching a handful of Hazbin Hotel redesign videos. And though what if the show took place in a Purgatory similar to the one in Dante's Divine Comedy.

It's hard to articulate something that's being in your head for a while but not long enough. Just saying, it's long.

I guess I begin with the backdrop. In this world, it's creator (a perfect being) shattered themself in hopes of making something that goes beyond them. Leaving their first creations; the angels, rigid beings that are a limited extension; to look after the pieces.

Initially, simple beings with no thought that kept circling the cycle of souls. Then beings with no sense of right or wrong. And suddenly humanity.

Story would take place in the modern day, where angels have been trying to guide humans to heaven. Nine classes divided into three domains: celestial, earthly and in-between. Only the latter two matter to the story.

Earthly angels look after the living. One angel per human. Most get basic angels all their life. They can't fully sway their humans, but help in indirect ways.

Some angels become Principalities if their human acquires a position of great importance: teachers, medics, human rights activists, scholars. They were supposed to also look after world leaders and representatives, but with wealth being a factor into who gets in power, it has been difficult.

I'm omitting Archangels as they seem to be a rank with specific jobs that any type of angel can get, but only a select few. It is tempting to make designs of the likes of Michael and Gabriel, but it would be disconnected from the story.

The in-betweens manage matters not pertaining to Earth or Heaven necessarily. The Dominions manage where the deceased souls go, as divine judges. The Powers ward off the influence of the fallen angels, trying to avoid their influence fully reaching humanity. The Virtues are the main workers of Purgatory.

Both Powers and Virtues can grant boons to those who pray.

The Celestial angels are the Seraphim, Ophanim and Cherubim, look after the ascended souls, guarding the place where their creator once took, not important to the story.

Fallen Angels can be of any class. Failed attempts of their creator to fulfill their desire for being that are beyond mere extensions. But when a being that is everything takes from their creation, it made him hollow. One in particular was full of resentment and planned an uprising. The rebellion got cast into Hell.

After the creator shattered, he, who once shone the brightest, wants to see the pieces fall with him.

These three domains hardly interacted with one another. Making each having different demeanors and appearances. Earthly angels in particular became very expressive, getting attached to the humans they look after.

This is what causes the conflict. As a guardian angel (Ciel, I call her) discovers that her latest human ended in Hell. Well, not exactly. She's in Limbo. Baffled, Ciel decides to look into it.

Turns out that the Dominions deemed her unable to ascend. That has been the case for many. But the earthly one isn't convinced.

In Purgatory itself has been to be crowded as there have not been many soul ascensions in decades as the Virtues have a disconnect with the humans.

So, this Earthly Angel sets to renovate Purgatory alongside others like her.

Sketches

Welcome to EFY's junkyard, where sketches wait to be finished! (Or not) I'm rather slow in my digital process, so I wanted for these to see the light of day.

Like this one from 2023. Technically, I did touch it up this year, but you can tell I sat on this one for too long. I might actually return to it, but I really want to highlight one dynamic I really love and feels underrated. I call them The Teatime Trio.

This one I may not return to. Made back when I finished Forgotten Land in 2022, a comic for an Elfilin head canon. A 4koma of Elfilin's ability to understand anything from cats to spanish to magolorese to jambandran. Honestly, comedy is not my strong suit.

Before making this account, I did use to make fanart of Journey to the West. In 2023, I did make redesigns for the characters, but never returned. It's based on chinese plushies I saw in a book. I did draw Kirby characters in the same style and published that.

My captain for Pikmin 4. Which I made identical to one of the NPCs by accident, even the hair color. This is also from 2023.

This I think is from 2019. I actually did publish this on my old Amino account, it even has my old signature. The AU where Sectonia is revived with a similar method to the Mage Sisters, but came back as a plant being.

I just wanted to show all this stuff off; I'm considering starting to publish incomplete sketches. I want to ask you what you think?
