teehee
i was stuck on traffic when i drew these 😭
Oh my gosh! I love these!!! Tiziano is absolutely rocking the crossing guard look! And Bella and Phenn have me smiling with how adorable they are (it's so accurate I love them so so so much)! I want to draw my own version now but I'm too tired to draw any more tonight. Plus today is six months since OT0 came out so I kinda want to draw something for that!
Bella/Phenn Outfit Swap
@toxiccoswynaut I finally finished the Bella/Phenn outfit swap! I drew it twice since the first one was a little rough, but I'm glad I did since the second Bella may be the best I've ever drawn Phenn's outfit. Phenn's hair also still trips me up a little (I really like the way you draw it!). This was such a cute idea, so thanks for sharing it!
based on ur last post @ventusrocks :p
Oh this is so cute! I saw it this morning but didn't have time to respond until now. It's so perfect because Bella definitely hangs out in the hub a lot just to be around Phenn all the time, and she eventually lives upstairs with him! He's vibing washing those glasses with his so pretty hair. Also don't worry about the colors considering that I literally don't color any of my sketches, although I have considered doing it. Your doodles are always such a treat!
The Holy Soulstone Hub!
I was itching to go back to OT0 again so I played a bit this evening! My brother had suggested that Bella live with Phenn in the hub and I was like, of course she should! Before, she live with Rondo in what I dubbed the Holy House since the future Flameguard and chosen one seem like a holy duo (plus it makes me think of Holy Impulse!), and I put some Tranquil bonfires outside it to fit the vibe. So I moved Rondo, Xerc, and Bella into the hub and put some tranquil bonfires and those blue flame candlesticks outside create the new Holy Soulstone Hub: holy for Bella and Rondo, soulstone for Xerc, and hub for Phenn! Maybe I should put Alexia, Goodwin, Alaune, and Viator together in a house too to create a second favorites residence.
bella ot0 and phenn switch clothing when :eye: (theres a term for that but i forget)
Outfit swap maybe? I've literally drawn Bella in Phenn's outfit before (I put the photos below! They're from late April/early May.)! I thought about going with that for the hunter outfit, but I ended up sticking closer to the sprite in the end a bit for consistency, a bit because Bella doesn't like wearing the torso armor thing (cuirass? even that's partially just an excuse for her to have the postgame outfit I made her), and a bit because I was concerned the resulting red & green color scheme would too closely resemble said postgame outfit (also red & green, I actually colored tested it a month ago so its color scheme is pretty set). Neither of these doodles are particularly finished. The second one has braided hair Bella for extra Phenn resemblance as well as Ludo teasing Phenn about it (I didn't end up drawing the Phenn because I never finished the doodle. He would've been annoyed/embarrassed at Ludo though). I'll doodle a proper full outfit swap tomorrow though!
Bella Job Sketches!
I finished the Bella job sketches! There's still a ways to go until the designs are complete and ready to draw in color, but I really like these and wanted to share them! As for the designs themselves, I took the OT0 job sprites as my starting point and made adjustments where I wanted. The sprites were sometimes hard to interpret (looking at you, scholar and hunter), but the lack of detail meant I could keep things simple for my own sake! The thief scarf has become Bella's thing, so I incorporated it into every other job outfit (I really do love drawing scarves). I did the eight OT0 jobs, the original Wishvale outfit, and the postgame outfit I made for Bella. I'm hoping to have some of these done traditionally in time to serve as references for Art Fight, at the very least the thief and new Wishvale outfits. I didn't quite intend to do all the jobs at once, but I realized the best way to ensure all the outfits look good together was to do just that. I'm having a lot of fun with the process! And yes I drew hunter Bella in the pose from Phenn's official art but mirrored because I love Phenn and why not!
Mission accomplished, sort of! Now he just needs to get in a fight with someone so he can say it for real (he got into one with Alexia a few days ago that was a real pain to resolve, so maybe it'll happen again).
WHRRES THE LAMB SAUCE IVE BEEN GIGGLING AFTER ISAW THIS MESSAGE EAELIER DÑXBZLFN
his ass is NOT gonna be ok after this but im all for it 😭 🙏
This is absolutely spectacular!!! You did it so much better than I ever could! You're Chefzas's main artist at this point! I started a Sazantos fan club comic based on your other doodles where Chefzantos will appear in his proper garb (I finished a teaser I'm considering posting), but I ended up spending the past few days working on a Xerc drawing for the PPA collab and job outfit designs for Bella (I may share the sketches once they're done) instead. Maybe I can also do an isolated Chefzas for practice too since I need to get over my jittery pen hand.
yeet
You got me. Every time I see that I think about changing it and then I don't. It was true for a while before Tomodachi Life and my extended break from 8 day and the monthly job challenge. Maybe I'll finally fix that right now. I just cannot cross post for the life of me lol.
seeing urtomodachi update from last night got me giggling to the point i forgor to write it
sazantos now having a cookie show is literaly him getting closer of being your island version of gordon ramsay hell's kitchen show help-
"that stupid clown gonska" WHY IS IT HIGHLITED LMFAOO ironicaly enough ive been re tackling that fight last on battle wave to get the points (tho i gave up on tatloch due the stupid multihit reduction rule :rolls eyes:)
The funniest part of the cooking show thing is that some Mii asked me to name a show I like a day or two ago so "Hell's Kitchen" is literally in my island lingo now! It's only a matter of time until I make Chefzas talk about it. The game highlights text I created, like the island name, Mii names, lingo, and the like. I've just always called him "that stupid clown Gonska" so I shoved the whole phrase in the text box (the next one will be "his stupid clown sister Pelagia." They're a pair). I haven't done much Cascade Log recently but I have been doing a bunch of EX3 refights in the Adversary log for rubies and the like with a combo of my beloved sword comp and the team I used on Sonzon cascade log. Also yeah post-Garrison training I despise multi-hit reduction lol.
i am officially chefzas irl
(deadass wtf am i doing-)
@ventusrocks
OOOOOOOHHHHH MY GOOOOSHH GOODNESS I LOVE IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The swappable hats are beautiful!!!!! The heart chef attire has me rolling I should draw some too (the ever-growing list of stuff I need to draw lol help). Ochette and Rondo certainly helped although Rondo never actually attended either fan club meeting (so Rondo and Saz only become friends in-game yesterday because I realized they weren't friends and knew I had to immediately fix that. I think that's why. He YEARNS to go to a meeting of the Saz fan club. I know it.). Plus Xerc DEFINTIELY helped too since he attended both meetings with Ochette.
got ochex stone as of last week (i was too exhausted to draw sorry)
and a lil extra below
This inspired me, so here's Xerc doing the same thing since I got his A2 stone earlier this week! A bit messy, but impulsive doodles are fun!
Tomodachi Life: 5/22-5/29 (ONE WEEK!?)
I can't believe it's been a whole week since my last update! I sifted through a lot of silly screenshots to pick the best ones! I also hit 35 Miis finally so I am overhauling and redecorating my island! It's a total mess right now though. Also 4th image row has CotC & OT0 spoilers; to avoid them, skip straight from the throne image to the beach image.
Here's the update on crushes! The Rondo thing is so funny; I had my game open checking around on crushes to write this up (there's so many I can't remember them all...), and I go zoom in on Rondo, Sazantos, and Bella hanging out by the bonfire in the park (so wholesome!) and Rondo fell in love with Saz! Sorry Alfyn!
There have been two marriages: Agnea/Hikari (yay!) and Alaune/Ludo (less yay). I was maybe hoping Goodwin or another member of the Bards would sing at the wedding (there are 7 now!), but Xerc sang at his second wedding. Hikari wears a firefighter's hat so seeing his hair for the first time in at least a week scared me a little ngl. Richard is now in my game too! Alaune asked me to take a photo so I thought it'd be so hilarious to draw Richard bamboozled by his OT0/CotC love being married to Ludo! Plus all three live together now which is super funny!
I put the throne in Best Couples + Flameguards' front yard because they're my favorites and then Lemaire had a fantasy about being the queen of Squirts. I could kind of see her doing that though.
Chefzantos now has a cooking show! Also, this second one was both sad and funny. It was the first and only time I've seen a Mii say it as well. Poor Sazantos. How exactly does he plan to do that?
This one was just super funny (the other Mii is Nivelle btw). I'd be scared if Gonska were chasing me in my dreams!
Last one! I've gotten everything from the wishing fountain, so I just send Miis on vacation all the time, and I love it when the whole household gets to go! I want to draw a collection of doodles of Best Couples + Flameguards on vacation together! These are some super rough doodles of that idea from the other day. I'd of course add some Phenn/Bella because even if I don't post about them as much right now I think about them all the time 😊🥹. Plus I am gathering good physical affection references so I can draw them being cute properly! I have lots of other stuff in the works in the meantime.
Many Viators
@toxiccoswynaut I saw the Viator in question on your Toyhouse and oh my gosh he looks so pretty!!! The sparkles and the pink outline and his hair! It's so bright and the shape is wonderful (I should brighten up his hair color when I draw him again)! Plus the description amused me. I knew I had a doodle with that exact caption somewhere so I dug around and found that and a few other older doodles of him that I like. There aren't a ton though because his design obviously isn't conducive to casual reference-free sketching (really I just like the scarf 😋).
One Viator
I was in the mood to draw Viator today so here is my best attempt. I like him a lot, but his outfit absolutely baffles me. Plus I have a curse where my best doodles always end up on paper I can't color on (it's the back of a calendar sheet, kinda waxy, so any attempt at erasing will screw with the pen). If I get desperate I'll pull out the tracing paper. Despite the frustration of that, I really do like the way this came out.
the whole chefzas thing reminded me there was a baking contest in crob not long ago i feel like saz would enjoy it
(tumblr says links are incomplete? if thats the case just search "crob oven wars" uploaded by royal mike)
I watched the video you were talking about, and it was fun! Saz would definitely enjoy such high-level competition. Angel Chiffon Cookie and Entremet Cookie reminded me of Rondo and Sazantos, respectively, so I made this doodle of them! I gave Rondo Angel Chiffon's outfit while Chefzantos got his Tomodachi outfit with Entremet's big knife thing. It's like a cooking sword, so it's perfect!
Xerc the Flameguard!
@toxiccoswynaut here he is, Xerc the Flameguard (aka Xerc EX warrior)!!! I'm really happy with this piece!
I used Xerc's battle stance as my base and gave him the sword angled downward to contrast Sazantos holding it angled upward and Rondo holding it horizontally. I incorporated Xerc's color scheme into the outfit alongside a few extra details from his scholar outfit. And I of course couldn't forget the rainbow flame imbued with the power of soulstones! I tried my best with the colors. I think I've definitely improved at drawing Xerc since the first time in November. I changed his hair color too for this one and it looks much better!
Xerc EX would be so fun for my lovely sword comp. At this point with my fave OT0 people in CotC it's either your base is elemental and your theoretical EX is sword (a la Xerc) or your base functions in sword and your EX is elemental (a la Phenn, because soulstone expert scholar Phenn is still brewing in my head, maybe soon). Viator would obviously be the latter. Funnily enough elemental comps were my go-to before my sword comp crystallized while working on Yunnie/Yan Long/Sable Shadow Dragon. All my arena clears before that were elemental. I suppose rainbow comp will soon bring me full circle (rainbow sword comp when??? Xerc EX leading the charge! It'd be so beautiful.).
