monthly update

3 min read

Ok, time for a monthly update, and this one is going to be slightly important in that I'm going to be gone for a whole week. Yeah, if you've been looking at some of the description on one of the recent drawings I posted, then this is something I've been somewhat talking about. Next friday, I going to be on vacation with my folks for a whole solid week.... and out of country which means I will have no communication whatsoever with any sites at all with anyone, unless the place I'm going has good wifi somehow. And God, I'm going have a interesting time for not the better in this vacation, but its still something I want to do because I want to visit some family members over there while I'm still able to chance to meet one of them. With that said, what does this mean for some of the things I was working on for this month, specifically the macro march growth drive thing? Well, this is more or less the reason why I started early with it as I'll be gone for a whole week, so in other words, the next part, both for the one in this site and in Twitter is going to have a two week time period, so there's that. Honestly, the drive part isn't going to change much. Unfortunately for me, because of this vacation, it means I can't do anything for one of my character, Patty, as I was hoping to get some drawings. Yeah, this vacation plan more or less put a lot of stuff on the back burner until I can come back. Its this very reason why certain drawings has now haven't been worked on as its also because of this vacation is why I want to work on the 125th derpy review cause I know full well I will be tire and exhausted for a bit once I get back.


That said, when the 125th drawing is done, I'm going to be focusing on just getting some drawing done that I've been heavily meaning to get done sooner, more specifically the Valentine's day drawings as those got backed up. I know full well that I won't get all the drawings done, so they will have to wait until after I get back and when I feel like drawing. After the drawings are done, beats the hell out of me of what I'll do next with gts stuff until maybe a week or two after or next month, but I do have some ideas of writing stuff, one art trade that I've been long over due in writing that I was hoping to get done by now, but at least I know what I'll be doing when I get back.


Ok, I think that's it for this month. I would say I would like to do something for St. Patrick's day, art trade or whatever, but given the plans already for this month, I think that I'll have to settle with just doing one drawing with Patty and call it for this month as there are stuff I want to focus on far more. So, with that said, hope you guys have a good day. I'll let you guys know when I'm leaving and coming back, but until then, bye.

Well I was busy trying to mod my PS Vita to being actually playable and preying that I wasn't accidentally turning it into a digital pipe bomb for my Internet security when I got a mentioned from HeroofLightandDark who start a "Pick your 13 video game wiafus" list and figure why not, I can take a break from writing the next Derpy Review to have some fun with this one. Now, Hero also put a challenge for this chain as to make sure somebody doesn't think about going baby mode on the list, minus the part where Hero mentioned that you don't have to rank the waifus so I won't, so I'll just copy and paste the rules Hero put out here:


1) One Video-Game Character per series or franchise.

2) If you want to show a image or link to show people what they look like. That's fine by me. Now if the character has multiple versions like change of character designs. The maximum is 3 links.

3) The minimum for explaining why you like the waifus you have chosen should be at least 2 to 3 sentences long. Also no one word sentences.

4) This is not a Top 13 or anything. So no need to rank your waifus. So you can do this in any random order you want.

5) Also these have to be characters that originated from a video-game. So no characters that originated from anywhere else please.

6) After completing your list of waifus. You must send this to 5 other users that you know. No sending it back to the sender.

Alrighty then, with the rules out of the way, let's see who I pick, two probably being extremely obvious if you've been here long enough.


1) Tali'Zorah (Mass Effect series) (( https://www.writeups.org/wp-content/uploads/TaliZorah-vas-Normandy-Mass-Effect-2-Profile-b.jpg ))


When it comes to favorite alien characters, Tali is easily the number one pick for me. From her humanoid like design still having a air of mystery as it taken three whole games, and several updates, to show us a official look of what Tali looks like underneath her mask. I love the history of her race, and the interactions she has with most of the cast in the game, especially with her interactions with Shepard, Garus, and of course Legion as it was interesting to see the specific two interact and see how that potential powder keg would go. And I love Tali's personality of being a big nerd for technology, equipment while also able to snap back at some characters that try to give her lip.


2) Rottytops (Shantae series) (( https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/shantae/images/7/7c/Rottytops_Seven_Sirens_Portrait_1.png/revision/latest?cb=20200530030333 )) (( https://i.kym-cdn.com/photos/images/original/001/212/061/c0e.gif ))


You'd think I would choose the genie waifu girl of the series or the pirate waifu of the series that people love, but I had to go with one of the best characters in this game, the zombie waifu herself that people love in this series, Rottytops. She's a funny character with a cute design, and her interactions with the other characters, mostly with Shantae, is something I always love in that I will never know if its going to be a generally a nice conversation that make the two have like a sister like relationship with Shantae being a good role model for the zombie or comical event that I will laugh at because of this girl alone, I stop counting of the amount of time I slap my face because of Rottytop's hi-jinx after maybe three. While the Shantae games don't have that deep in terms of story, the times Rottytops is involve tends to help her stand out from the rest of the cast to make her a memorable character. Not to mention, Rottytops knows how make a mechanic outfit look cute on zombie.


3) Ranni the Witch (Elden Ring) (( https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/eldenring/images/a/a2/ER_Icon_Key_Item_Miniature_Ranni.png/revision/latest?cb=20220411011200 ))


Look, if I had to pick one character from the Soulsborne series, of course it would be the blue witch waifu. And why not, Ranni is all honestly one of the best characters in Elden Ring thanks to the interactions you have with her and her quest. She has a great design of not only inhabiting a life size doll's body in order to move around, but has a great witch design as well. And you get to marry her and get a sweet sword at the end of the quest if you manage to see her quest to the very end. Besides that, Ranni does shows care to friends and commarade, such as Blaidd and Iji, (get f$%k Seluvis) and in time shows thanks to you helping her a lot, and its the interactions, albeit brief, that spend time with her that you get to know her more, what she wants, why she is against one of the forces that is in Elden Ring, and makes her a very interesting character that I can't help but love.


4) Carmelita Fox (Sly Cooper series) (( https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/deathbattlefanon/images/b/b5/Sly3-carmelita1.png/revision/latest?cb=20151222024018 ))


When it comes to childhood games, Sly Cooper is one of my favorites as I love playing the trilogy on the PS2, and one of the reasons being with the characters that I love in the game. And of course, one of the characters in question that I had to pick as Waifu is Carmelita Fox, sorry Penny. I would choose Penny over Carmelita as I like her a lot in Sly Cooper 3 and is one of my favorite characters, but in terms of Waifu, Carmelita beats her in that degree. Carmelita is a very dedicated woman that wants to do everything she can to get the job done and in the series she shown many times of how well she can get the job done by herself and is able to kick ass. Serious she is, she also can be nice gal as shown in Sly Cooper 2 when she got Murry but wasn't mean to him even though she had to put him in a tight cage for lack of a far better one. Her interactions with Sly is also something I love about her as she knows how to have a good banter while also knowing what profession she has. Now if only the series would make up its mind on her voice actor, and no, we don't talk about Sly Cooper 4 in this house.


5) Futaba Sakura (Persona 5) (( https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/megamitensei/images/6/62/Futaba_Sakura.png/revision/latest?cb=20230219085927 )) (( https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/megamitensei/images/d/df/PQ2_Futaba_Sakura.png/revision/latest/scale-to-width/360?cb=20180901214125 ))


So, out of all the characters people choose for waifus in this series to the point one can point to this series to blame of the waifu war hilarity, why did I went and pick this little gremlin? Well, its because she is a cute nerdy girl that loves games. Ok, no, there's far more to it than that. I actually like Futuba in this game and consider her one of the best characters in the whole series, eh, at least with 3, 4, and 5 as I've yet to play the first two games yet. Futuba has one of the more tragic backstories in the whole game, but once you help her in one of the chapters in Persona 5, she is able to move past that event to become a major help for the cast. I mentioned she likes games and she has a major knack with computers, but she is also a very enduring introvert character that I can't help but like as she can also be extremely goofy. Her interactions with others makes her adorable, but its her interactions with Joker and Sojiro that makes her a wonderful character as she is trying to more or less evolve herself from the extremely shy introvert to somebody that can at least go outside. Its her personality and interactions is why I always pick only her for Joker to go out. Yes, in a game where you can date every female options and get your ass kicked for it, I only pick one person as a romance and leave the rest in the friends zone, I'm boring like that, ok.


6) Mona (Shovel Knight series) (( https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/shovelknight/images/1/12/Mona_Treasure_Trove.png/revision/latest?cb=20180901211906 ))


When thinking of waifu, for some reason Mona was in my mind and to be honest, why not. She's one of my favorite characters in the whole Shovel Knight series, or game as I don't know if you want to count the expansions under one title or their own separate ones, but none the less, she is one of the characters I can't help but like the most. She has cute design of looking like a potion making witch, but its her interactions with Plaque Knight is what sold me of her as I can't help but love how loyal she is to Plaque Knight while also giving her thoughts on some matters. She's overall one of the best characters in the game, and come on, you can't tell me the little dance she has with Plaque Knight isn't a highlight in the whole Treasure Trove collection.


7) Bayonetta (Bayonetta series) (( https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/characterprofile/images/a/a6/Bayonetta_SSB4.png/revision/latest/scale-to-width-down/1200?cb=20160104141955 ))


I was debating myself in how much I would say Bayonetta is a favorite waifu, but the more I think of it, the more I can say I consider Bayonetta a waifu favorite. For starters, she's amazon size badass witch, she kicks demonic and angelic butts every day with moves that could make somebody like Dante from the Devil May Cry game give a thumbs up. She has the looks and confidences that can actually be back up by her own skills and powers that makes her one of the most fun characters to play in games. Besides that, I can't help but also love the interactions she has with some of the other characters, specifically Luka and Enzo, the latter of who is nothing more than a comical punching bag to mock on while the interactions with Luka just makes me be amuse of Bayonetta's flirtation with him. What about her interactions with Jeanne? I'll be honest, I keep forgetting this character even exist every time I play any of the games. Overall, Bayonetta is one of the best female protagonist in games and one of the best characters that came from Platinum.


8) Bianca (Spyro series) (( https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/spyro/images/a/a0/Bianca_Reignited_Profile.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20180919172055 ))


Yeah, this one is going to be a odd one given that there isn't much to talk about Bianca in the Spyro series, if anything I have a better explanation for Elora, sooo why did I pick the bunny? Simply put, I find her cute. I like her simple design, and I do like her character development that occurs in the third game as she go from minor antagonist to help supporter by helping Spyro get to the Sorceress to stop her. Is this choice probably from childhood video game crush given how bias I can be with Spyro, probably, but my picks and I'm picking the magic bunny I promise I'm not a furry.


Shekra: Ha, furry!


9) Ling Xiaoyu (Takken series) (( https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/6/6b/Ling_Xiaoyu_%28T8%29.png )) (( https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/tekken/images/6/65/XiaoyuPXJ.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20191027192904&path-prefix=en ))


You got the Street Fighter kid, the Mortal Kombat kid, and even other series like being the Killer Instinct kid, then you have me who grew up with the PS1 and I was the Takken kid, playing games from 3 to up to a certain title before I drop out of fighting games. But there was one female character I still remember in this series, next to Jin, that weird walking wood doll, and my boi Yoshimitsu, and that character I still remember liking is Ling Xiaoyu. If you were to ask me Chun Li or Morrigan from Dark Stalkers, I would be the one to say Ling, and I can't explain too much as to why. Its been years since I last played Takken but I remember Ling, and most of it has to do with her combat skills as I enjoy her move sets. Outside of that, I find her a cute character that always manages to find outfits that fit her, a somewhat quirky character that has a Panda as a pet for crying out loud. One day I should really get back to playing this series and see how much of Ling has evolved since Takken 5 I think it was when I stop playing the series.


10) Edea Lee (Bravely Default series) (( https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/finalfantasy/images/6/6b/Edea.png/revision/latest?cb=20140505221129 ))


I can't but love this girl, she's one of the best character in series, not that the other cast members are lacking, its just that I like her character the most. A girl with a more black and white view of the world, she sees how bad her country is doing to the world and wants to help out to fix that and that itself makes her one of the more interesting characters in the games. But its also her development and interactions she has with other characters that helps her be one of my waifu picks, from her friendly banters with the other teammates to her conversations with antagonists that is trying to stop the team. Besides that, Edea has a charming personality, she can be a brick in the head on somethings but she knows how to be smart on the spot, and I can't help but love her desire for good food, or more specifically, sweets.


11) Emmy Altava (Professor Layton Series) (( https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/layton/images/1/1b/EmmyLS.png/revision/latest?cb=20200225194852 ))


In series involving so much charm into you'd think you're playing a indie game while it has a lot of charming characters, Emmy is one of my favorite characters in the series outside our iconic duo protagonist. She's a smart girl that can be a major help to Professor Layton and Luke as well as know how to kick some butts as well..... I got nothing else honestly, I just generally really like this woman and do hope that in the future when the next Professor Layton game comes out, a small cameo of her might show up at least (And do something for Flora for Christ's sake Level-5).


12) Alice Liddell (American McGee's Alice series) (( https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/vsbattles/images/7/76/Alice_Liddell_transparent.png/revision/latest?cb=20160302073549 ))


Ok, so this one might be the more questionable idea of a waifu in this list mostly because Alice is not from a game but from classic literature, however, THIS version of Alice does originated from games so it counts to the rules for all I know. Anyways, why I pick this mental case, simple, because I actually like Alice in the games. Her design both in reality and in the nightmarish realm of Wonderland gives her a unique look enough to stand out from other variants of Alice, but its also her personality I like. From a girl struggling with madness and survivor's guilt after the death of her family to being force to endure rather cruel treatments from the Asylum, she's shown to be a very strong will woman from what she's gone through, both in reality and whatever nightmare that tries to harm her in Wonderland. She shows her wits a lot in conversation both when somebody isn't being helpful to her or is giving her crap, she knows how keep herself level headed, figuratively speaking I should say. Sad that there will not be a third game, f$%k you EA, as from what I read of what would be happening in the potential third game, it would really evolve Alice's character to probably one of the best characters in video game given to what the ending of the third game would led to. Here's hoping that maybe that might change in the future, but given that this is EA that's involve we're talking about and I think I read McGee himself is done trying, I'll just have to cherish what the two games we got given us.


13) Hex Maniac (Pokemon series) (( https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/pokemon/images/0/07/HexManiac.png/revision/latest/thumbnail/width/360/height/360?cb=20211128202648 )) (( https://pm1.aminoapps.com/7321/8f2b6f2c420ece917c33d210afef6f6d496c1142r1-1448-2048v2_00.jpg )) (( https://ih1.redbubble.net/image.4606392755.9381/st,small,845x845-pad,1000x1000,f8f8f8.u6.jpg ))


Ok, let's be honest, you guys knew she was going to be on this list no matter what I was going to do. Out of all the poke waifus in the series, you guys knew I was going to pick the witch waifu, I promise I'm not trying to make this a top 13 witch waifu list. What can't I say that hasn't been said enough already as to why I pick the Hex Maniac, she has a very cute goth design, despite her trying to be a creepy girl, she more adorable than creepy. There's the moo moo milk meme, and let's be honest, its kind of hard to not like this version of the Hex Maniac and this specific NPC design out of the hundreds there are in the series. Not to mentioned I think Gamefreak or Nintendo saw the popularity of this character and tried to enhanced her given that she's pop up a few times over the years, specifically with some pokemon hunted site that specifically features a Hex Maniac and in Pokemon Masters where there is a official Hex Maniac with a actual name, I should really get around to playing this phone app one of these days.


Alright, that's my list of waifus for this little chain. Can't wait to see the comments on at least one or two of these picks cause I can already hear the potential jabs. Now let's see who I drag into wanting to do this little chain thing. And to the ones that don't like being tag for anything, I'll say this from the bottom of my heart, I do not apologize.


Anyways, I grab a purple Pikmin and throw it at cubedcinder128 Final7Darkness Omni-Crafter JustAnArtExpert ManiakMonkey

Christmas Month

2 min read

Welp, you know what month it is, its Christmas Month finally. As such, time for monthly update, and I'll try to make this one a short one. For thing first, ya'll should already know by now that I've been sick for the last few weeks, it sucked for me by a lot and hopefully I don't need to worry about my job being a prick about it (Don't work retail, folks, especially Walmart), as such, I'm going to try to catch up on a bunch of drawings still as now I got a lot more stuff overdue no thanks to everything for the past two weeks, so now expect Halloween and Thanksgiving stuff to suddenly pop in from nowhere.


Second thing to talk about is the typical tradition of December, that being me trying to work on surprise gift drawings for some artist in this sight. Well, because I was down for a while, I didn't had the moment to ask if anyone wanted a gift drawing, as such, the gift drawing will be rather small this time and I'm going to make some for those I know for certain that I can make a gift drawing, as well as try to not it be someone that I most likely made one for last year at least, if that can be help. And before anyone asks, no, no request christmas special for this month, got so little time on my hands now no thanks to everything for the past few weeks that there's no way I'll be able to make the time to take a lot of requests. Art trade is still ok, but I'll have to think about more from this point on for this month.


And that's actually more or less it in terms of something major to speak of this month. Yes, Sandy will be showing up this month, that's a given, and there will be Derpy Reviews, but in terms of anything special, I got nothing as I got a lot of stuff to work on that I can barely do that much special stuff that I normally wanted for this month. As such, hope ya'll have a good day.

hey ya'll, hope you all had a good thanksgiving. Sorry for the lack of response to some comments and sudden stop of uploads of holiday drawings of Becky, but I just so happened to caught a bad case of the flu since Tuesday and its been of course miserable, screw my luck. Been slowly getting better, but hopefully will be back to trying to play catch up as early as Monday, provided the medicines the clinic that prescribe me hits me hard enough to not think I got my dad's resistance to medicine to the point of needing much stronger medicine later somehow. Anyways, take care ya'll.

Hey ya'll, hope you all had a very good Halloween, had a great night of not exactly scaring people but being a derp this time for this year. Turns out when you dresses up as a Mimikyu and having a "free hug" sign, most people will prefer to hug than run away, though somehow I still manage to unsettle some people, go figure. Anyways, with Halloween over now what? Well, for the past few years, this would be a moment I would address that I would be taking about a week or two hunting trip vacation where I try to get a deer or two all while sitting my butt down and just hearing the noise of leafs rustling and squirrels scratching their nuts for 12 hour straight, except that's not happening this year. Yeah, this year I'm taking a break from hunting, and somewhat maybe a good thing as I do plan to take a vacation sometime in the start of next year but that's a journal for another day. So, if I'm not going on vacation, what now? Well, that means several things.


Let's get some minor left overs out of the way. While all of October may have been fun for the most part, I didn't even got a good chunk of all the drawings I wanted to get down for the month, there's a good dozen of drawings I tried to get down but could not, and that's because of something incredibly stupid I had to deal with for three weeks straight. I'll be making a little comic joke of that situation hopefully uploaded in the next day or two, let's just say, all of my frustration for the whole month literally could've been solve in less than five minutes. As such, because of me dealing with that headache, a bunch of drawings and suggestions did not got the chance to be work, I mean I got a good chunk of some of the ones I wanted to work on the most, but idea from some of you guys, a few from Final7Darkness, cubedcinder128, ect., they didn't got worked on yet. As such, since this is the month of trying to cool down before the next major holiday month, I'm going to quickly work on the left over drawings as fast as I can, so expect to see that for the next week or two.


Second thing to address, my birthday is on the 9th, and at least this time I can at least be more on time to say happy birthday to myself on that day instead of climbing a tree to say sorry I can't respond well to anyone that wanted to wish me happy birthday while a birb and racoon is pecking my eyes out. Anyways, I don't know if any of you guys want to gift drawings or what, but you know me, if you want to make one, feel free if you want, use my characters if you wish or you can ask me for suggestions of characters, gts related or not related, up to you, I'm at least able to give more on time communication for a lack of better line.


Third thing of note to address, what to be doing for this month. Well, besides catching up on drawings, I'm going to go back and maybe focus on old projects that should've been done a long time ago.... no thanks to me being lazy and busy on everything else at the same time (Procrastination :3). So, if I get my butt in gear, hope to get a story done depending on my dedication. Part of me wants to expand that creepypasta basis I made, but I really want to focus on older work. I mean, I do have a certain holiday scarecrow for this month that I should also think about giving attention to, buuuuuuuttttttttt, where's the fun in that? >:3


Fourth thing to address and final one, the derpy reviews. As some of ya'll know, I did made a poll asking ya'll of what games to focus on for the rest of October, and of course, the highest votes were Luigi's Mansion 2 and Doki Doki Doki Doki Plus Doki. When I finished the Luigi review, I did said I would worked on DDLC next given it was the second highest voted game, however, and this is something I knew was going to be the case after that review, I didn't had time to even try the game out given the last week of Halloween was such a busy mess to help get everything set up and get my costume made to wear. As such, the next game is still Doki "I know why you people voted for this game", its just that its going to take maybe a good few days as instead of trying to beat it once and call it a day, I'm going out of my way to platinum it on the PS5 since I got a copy for it. Lord knows this might be the best direction for this game to talk about it given I got four of my characters talking about and one (un?)lucky boi that's getting drag into that madness. Something else is that I'm wondering if I should have Suki's sense of humor let out in this game given what I've saw so far (If you're curious as to where I'm at in the game, just finish act 1). But after DDLC, I'm not 100% sure of what games to look at next. I mean, there's the new mario game that came out, but there's Wizards with a gun game I really want to look at, but there's also the other games that got some decent amount of votes that I'm not 100% sure to do them as well or wait for maybe next year. Not only that, but thanks to a certain someone I was talking to in a previous review, I now have a real sudden urge to review a marathon of games involving a certain Theivous Racoon, but at the same time, I want to do other marathons as well, Pikmin, Sonic, Drakengard as I somehow manage to get all three games though not sure about including the Nier games into that madness, I even have the urge to do a marathon of either Kirby, Resident Evil or Legend of Zelda. I do know I would like to do a bit of a bundle of some games, specifically games of suggested games for Derpy Review given I have gotten some in the last several months. Needless to say, I think I'm going to be rather very busy on a bunch of projects on this part that I'm not sure on where to go for this one for the next several months..... alsoNatsukiisbestgirl:3


Ok, now I started that hornet's nest, that's about it in terms of what I mostly want to plan for this month. I am thinking about next month as I don't know how much of the gift drawing stuff I want to try yet, given how people are viewing this site of jumping out of it, but I'll see what I can work on for this Christmas in terms of making some gifts for several people if I can find any that are ok of getting a gift drawing from me next month. But besides that, I'll also make a little poll or two about a certain seven girls and one girl in particular as I'm a bit curious of what some of ya'll think about them, as well as how much of this month I'll think about making drawing for said girl. And that's about it, so hope ya'll have a good day.
