It's been a while, hasn't it? Sorry I haven't uploaded. Senior year was a bitch and a half. Now I'm off to college! Hahah- cries

I've done a bit of drawing in my spare time, and I wanted to upload some of it here.

This is my third version of Coral! Every time I redraw this specific picture, about a year has passed, and this is year three. I really like how it shows the art progression. All in all, I'm ecstatic with this piece. The tailfin looks great, her proportions aren't entirely messed up, her hair looks better than before, and I added a bunch of smaller details that weren't present in the previous versions.

For one, she is now sitting on a bunch of coral (haha funny joke). Her shell necklace, which used to be held in her hand, is now a pearl necklace around her neck. She has these adorable little fin ears that match her tail, and gorgeous dark teal eyelashes to match her eyes. I'm just really happy with this overall.

This one's for my MCSM fans out there. I've always had this idea that in a future season of MCSM (which will never happen now), Herobrine would get to be the big baddie. He'd be like the Admins but ten times worse because of the whole creepypasta factor. I always thought it'd be a fun idea to, at some point, have Jesse get kidnapped, which gives the player the chance to play as Jesse's friends, namely Lukas or Petra.

I may or may not have slightly changed her armour design from what I normally did for it, and I'm really happy with how that turned out. I love how her sword glows, and I love the kneepads into her boots. Herobrine's also lookin' extra creepy in the shadows with his glowing eyes, and the tendrils could almost be interpreted as the start of the strings he might be able to pull on the story.

I actually had an older version of this, where she was lying on the ground but in midair, with the eyes of all the previous enemies around her, and Herobrine's white eyes as the biggest behind her with the Witherstorm's looming just above. It was interesting, but I think I prefer this version, namely because it's not as old, and since it's not as old, it's not as bad since I've gotten better since then.

This is a sketch I have of an original character in a new story I'm in the process of writing! His name's Sterling, and he's one of the main characters, though you don't know it at the start of the story. Now, I can't tell you a lot about him because then I'd be spoiling my own story, but I'll just tell you that he is a childhood friend of the main character and our protagonist, Erica. But not just a friend, he's her personal knight because she's a princess.

Apart from that, I can't tell you much more, so I'll leave it off there, and instead go on to our amnesiac princess that I mentioned above.

This is Erica. Now, you may be wondering, wait, she's amnesic?! Yes, it's part of the story. She wakes up in a forest with no memories and has to rediscover them and herself while unravelling the mystery behind a group known as the Council, who are out to get her from day one. She's an interesting character, as she struggles with the expectations of those who knew her before she lost her memories and tries to not die with the Council after her.

When I eventually publish the book to Wattpad, I hope you all go read it and follow Erica's journey, with all its twists and turns, and enjoy it!

Now we segue to another fandom I've joined!

I don't know how many of you have heard about the Dream SMP, but if you haven't, I'll explain. The Dream SMP is a Minecraft multiplayer server started by a youtuber/streamer known as Dream (he's a great Minecraft speedrunner and posts lots of funny videos to his channel, so go check him out). It slowly turned into a roleplay that the members all partake in, and he plays the psychotic chaos bringer that has it out for TommyInnit.

His Minecraft skin is... interesting, to say the least, but it leaves artists with free rein when it comes to designs for him. The usual is a green hoodie with black pants and shoes and the white smiley mask, but for the smp, he always wears netherite armour, so I drew that. Now, I'm not too happy with this design for him now, so I'm currently redesigning and drawing it up on my tablet. So keep an eye out for that!

Here we have another member of the Dream SMP, a man by the name of Wilbur Soot. He's my favourite streamer out of the group, and has one of the most interesting characters and arcs in the roleplay by far. This is one of his many faces, specifically, the madman who wants to blow up the nation he created because he wasn't voted for president and slowly fell into madness after getting kicked out of the nation.

Now, that was a lot, so let me explain for those who don't know what I'm talking about. He joined the server and decided to start a drug van (potions) alongside a few of his friends on the server, including Tommy. This eventually led to the creation of his nation, called L'Manberg, which sparked a war between them and Dream's Faction. L'Manberg managed to keep independence and held an election, in which an alcoholic won by the name of Schlatt. He didn't like Wilbur or Tommy and was meant to be a villain.

So he kicked the two out, and Wilbur lost one of his canon lives while escaping (in the SMP, roleplay-wise, you have three canon lives. Lose all three and you're technically dead in the roleplay). This marked the beginning of Wilbur's fall in madness, and his eventual desire to just blow up the newly named Manberg. Hence the match and giant fire.

Like, I don't mean to go on about it, but holy shit I thought Schlatt and Dream were great villains. Wilbur almost blew them out of the water. I love me a good fall into villainy arc, but the way they handled Wilbur's was amazing.

Now, this is Wilbur again, but this is three of his many sides. The top right is a familiar face, but the other two, unless you've watched the smp, are strangers. The top left is his original character, the hopeful revolutionary who had a dream to start his own drug business and created his own nation to do so. He is the genius tactician in battles. He is the leader that should've won the election (smh he had the most votes but Schlatt made a deal to get more votes from the losing candidates so he won).

And in the bottom middle, we have Ghostbur. Wilbur did succeed in blowing up part of L'Manberg (after killing Schlatt in another revolution and then renaming it) and was then killed by his roleplay father, Philza Minecraft. Afterwards, Ghostbur appeared, though the ghost and his living counterpart are kept separate, as told later on in the story, which I won't spoil since I've done enough of that already. He's a sweet ghost but doesn't remember anything he perceives as sad and cannot really feel sad, so his memories after the election are far and few in between.

This creates a lot of tension between him and various people in the smp, namely his roleplay canonical son, Fundy. He also has this thing called Blue, which is blue dye, but in the roleplay, it is an object that can be filled by your sadness and then burned, so as to burn the sadness away. It is said to be see-through, but it becomes more opaque the more sadness is in it. Tommy mentions that Ghostbur's Blue is never even somewhat see-through, and the ghost shrugs it off, even though this silently indicates that Ghostbur, though he may not remember or feel it, carries so much sadness in him that the Blue doesn't get a chance before it is completely filled.

Alright, I think that's enough for this chapter. Thank you for reading, hope you enjoy! And keep an eye out for my new book coming out with Sterling and Erica (I haven't chosen a name yet!!!)
