November 2026 muffin sketches (Patreon)
Content
Hello! Happy November! This week's sketches are some ideas I wanted to put down (including a a couple of character idea again bc i cannot stop making characters even if i tried), as well as the drafts i prepared for the full color art.
Also a very long life update (and slightly heavy subjects).
Before I establish the elephant (vkei goth guy) in the room, I want to point out my smaller colored doodles on the first one.
I keep thinking abt some catboy in a predicament so I drew one. I guess the idea was he's some pampered pet some someone's that happens to be a permaberry (or maybe, a purrr-maberry? ..i'll leave) so he gets doted on a lot n spoiled :]
Spooky month may be over but pumpkins still plague me a bit haha. Lil pumpkin guy doodle to try and expell it from my system.
Okay, so the vkei guy kinda came out of nowhere BUT the reason i was thinking abt it in the first place was T.M. Revolution's Resonance. A lot of the notes on my art explain his deal. He kind of consumed my train of thought for a bit so sorry for such a heavy emphasis on him. (I've been busy irl with sfw art stuff) Anyways he has permaberryism too except its trigger by sun exposure n photosynthesis. Moonlight also works but much less intense, slower. He's a bit dramatic and eloquent but oh well, he had a reason to be methinks.
Now we have the drafts for the full color art: my office berry and my cream poff. I am a sucker for interesting 'filling choices' on inflation art, and whipped cream is one of them. Also I miss drawing Poff. No matter what I feel like a neglectful creator for all my ocs haha. Too many to keep track of all at once, so sometimes it takes me awhile before realizing 'oh shit its been months since i last drew __'
The office berry scenario was sparked by this thought i kept having of some white collar office drone swelling into a blueberry to the point his head is basically kissing the ceiling tiles. And then that led to the rather unhinged thought of "hey what if his boobs started spraying juice on the ceiling?"
If you made it this far, Thank you for reading! And life update aheadddd-
(Cw; talking about grief.)
Its getting cold and I'm already missing the pretty leaves on the trees (they all fell :[ dang) Mystery Illness was never found out but for the most part, its either gone or no longer an issue for the time being.
Other than that, quietly behind the scenes I had been grieving the loss of a parent I had been a caretaker for since highschool. I wanted to wait a bit before i talked about it so I could properly process things, not to mention, I dont really remember what was going on then. From about May through September, I kind of existed in a weird sort of fugue state. If you asked me to recall those months, I honestly can't. Or at least, not very well since what memories i have are dream-like and hazy.
However l've been slowly regaining a bearing on being 'back in reality'. I've been having regularly-scheduled therapy, leaving my house more, working through some unresolved emotions and issues.
I had been struggling a lot with purpose and self lately. It's hard living for yourself when you never saw yourself as a priority, so it feels weird putting myself first before my sickly parent for the first time in a l o n g time. It's a hard process but it feels good.
To those who have expressed concern in the past few months and/or left thoughtful comments and messages, I thank you. I remember those fondly, especially during one of the most dark and depressing times of my life. I hope for brighter things ahead :]
