Hello everyone! For those of you interested in my recent Aventurine post, I am sharing here the summary for my fic. I'm currently five chapters in (sixth will be posted soon... as soon as I finish the translation), and would appreciate your support; it means the world to me! đ
Also, for those of you who's first language is Spanish, I have great news for you! There's also a Spanish version you can check out in my ao3 account, and indeed, it's up to date with the English one.
I'll proceed to pin this post on my profile as well so anyone can find it more easily.
Here are the designs I came up with. If you want to read all the yap about the story, it'll be written after these. There'll also be a sheet with the color palettes used for each character, along with some additional details about their designs.
Basically, this AU came to be due to Puzzles' appearance in the movie 'It's Gotta Be Perfect.' I thought he looked a lot like a virus, and that's basically the foundation for this AU.
The story goes that Puzzles, after pursuing his career as a writer and TV host without much success, realized he lacked the necessary 'inspiration' to turn his creations into well-known and beloved media. Instead, he decided to work as an assistant in a private military company, which helped him earn enough money to stay afloat and, more importantly, gave him firsthand experience with dangerous situations for his writing.
That's when Wpnz enters the scene. An incredibly efficient and renowned mercenary with anger management issues who- by the time Puzzles started working there- didn't have a proper assistant. The higher ups decided it would be a perfect idea to pair them up as a team... And, surprisingly, it worked! They started getting along and even had a little something going on between them.
Well, at least- that was until Puzzles' eventual disappearance. One day, he just... Vanished. Completely gone. The only clue left behind was that his apartment showed signs of a struggle, and that was it. Wpnz went back to working alone for a while as the company investigated what had really happened until... About a month later, he received an email claiming to contain information about Puzzles' current location.
The moment he clicked on it, some sort of virus infected his computer. A virus that surprisingly looked and acted like Puzzles.
Wpnz initially thought it was a very tasteless joke, but he soon realized the Puzzles on his screen seemed to be conscious and some sort of extension of the original. Though, there was just one problem: he couldn't remember what had happened to his body or where he was. He admitted he'd been programmed to attack Wpnz and gather information from him (basically acting as spyware), but he'd managed to break free from that protocol.
The story follows Puzzles' digital form and Wpnz investigating what had really happened in an attempt to find the original Puzzles. I'll draw and post later Puzzles' virus form, along with some explanations of how that works.
Some additional notes: the backgrounds used on the first two images are free to use assets offered in Ibispaint.
Wpnz's tail is meant to work similarly to a nunchaku. It's made of metal and separated into sections connected by a long chain, allowing each part to detach and rotate individually. Since it's used for close combat, it's the most visibly damaged part of Wpnz's body.
The pompoms also resemble flails. They don't deal any damage (they're just soft) but I thought it was a nice touch. The stitches on his pants actually have a meaning. If you translate the crosses and lines into Morse code, they spell out 'WPNZ.'
Puzzles' tie contains four yellow stars, while the rest are dark red (this was very intentional). On the rest of his outfit, the star shaped buttons on his coat and the stars on his hat sum up to four in total. His shirt also maintains the puzzle pattern from his original design.
And that's it. This may be my longest post lol. I hope you enjoyed the yap :]âš
Desperately wanted to draw a wallpaper inspired by this film. At this point, you can really tell it's kind of a comfort movie for me. Edgar had to OBVIOUSLY be in it as well.
I also had to do Edgar some justice because, looking back at those drawings I did of him, you could really tell I had zero idea about how to draw computers.
Thank you to that one person on the Electric Dreams server who motivated me to finish this. It had been sitting in a corner, abandoned for like two months or so. But hey, I'm happy with the result :]
Oh I forgot to mention there are some little details from the movie scattered throughout it.
Rewatching this series again and I was surprised there wasn't more content about it in Tumblr.
Anyways, Mr. Trance and Ms. Trance.
I like to call Ms. Trance 'Lili.' It came from a silly mistake when I searched for her name (it isn't disclosed in the series) on the wiki. Turns out I read the name of one of the series' voice actors, Lili, as if it was her name, and kept calling her that for a while, thinking it was actually her name.
Though, she looks like a Lili, so I decided to keep calling her that.
I like this series so much. I didn't watch it as a child, but delved into it later because of the intro song (it's peak), and it ended up becoming one of my comfort series.
I'm pretty much ranting. I don't really do this in my posts, but I really wanted to share it with more people. Lucky for you! This series doesn't have any actual dialogue (everything that the characters speak is just gibberish) so give it a try if you're interested. It's called Mr. Trance and it's available on youtube.
I have like- other three drawings of them unfinished, but I wanted to switch to something else for now.
This one's kind of a long post, but recently, I've found some SMG4 AUs that I like a lot and decided to do some fanart about them ^^
Remember to tap the images for better quality!
This is Stuck in Love AU from @valleyalley
Don't mind me, I'm still figuring out how to properly draw WPNZ. Also, do I need to mention how cute the designs for this AU are?
And this one is eroskau from @solotequlia
I especially love all the designs of the fragments for this AU, as well as the overall color palette. They're very original and amazing, and I had so much fun drawing them.
Please go and show love to these amazing artists and their AUs! đ Hope you enjoy them as much as I do.
The common denominator! The root of all your recent adventures!
Mr. Puzzles!
Honestly, this guy crashed into my life and has been living in my head rent-free. So, as always, I decided to draw him. I wanted to create a piece that represents who he is as a character from my point of view, and I'm happy with the final result. Here are the separate frames from the GIF.
I made this drawing before the one I posted a few days ago. It's kind of lazy (you can tell by the keyboard :P) but I found it forgotten in my gallery today and was like: eh, why not?
Hey! Hope you're doing great. I was wonderingâdo you take requests to draw other people's OCs, or do you prefer working through commissions? I really love your art style âš
Hello ^^ Thank you so much for the ask! đ
I donât really take requests and would prefer to work through commissions. However, since this account is relatively new, I havenât really thought about doing it until recently. Iâll probably look into the matter a bit more in the near future for those who are interested.
Darling in all walks of life

This comic is my contribution towards Veritas Roulette's unofficial international Ratiorine project & Commemorative Anthology, Constellations of [If]!
Around 100 talented creators around the world have come together to celebrate Ratiorine's Second Anniversary, please check out more gorgeous artworks under the #ConstellationsofIF tag on X! There's still more to come everyday.
This was a video I made some months ago about my Ratiorine/Aventio fanfic 'Tangled Web of Secrets and Stakes'. Back in the day I posted it on X but it didn't do well so I kind of forgot about it until like a week ago in which I said: huh, I should post this on Tumblr as well.
So, here we are! It was my very first attempt at using Alight motion and it was kind of difficult to get around but I think the result was decent.
I really hope the quality doesn't get affected, I had to do some tricks because the app wouldn't let me download the full video by how heavy it was, so I went and did like 7-8 ish separate videos and just merged them together. Edit: as I check the video... Yeah the quality is terrible. Such a shame đŹ
I'm rambling too much so I may take my leave, I hope y'all enjoy it! đ
A comic about that specific scene from my fanfic... Aka, Ratio and Aventurine encountering the catcakes!
This is my first time trying to draw a comic, and I really went all out with it. I think it was totally worth it, though. This is one of my favorite scenes and one I enjoyed writing so much back then (â .â â ââ â áŽâ â ââ .â )
Also, for everyone wondering, the catsâ names are Sine, Cosmo, and Tangy, from left to right. Part of the reason this took me way too long to finish was their clothing. I just kept adding and adding details and... RIP.
I hope you enjoy reading it as much as I enjoyed bringing it to life! đ
