R.I.P Grandma Honey/Helena Stockwell: To those in my Extended Family Tree who’re Instagrammers or Tumblr users should already at least know what’s happened to my maternal grandmother, and to those who happen to be my followers who don’t know what’s happened to my maternal grandmother, especially to those who’ve probably just discovered my Instagram Posts Gallery or Tumblr Blog and are new to coming across my art on Instagram or Tumblr, I believe should know what just happened. According to what my mom had just told me last morning, Grandma Honey had passed away at 5am or 7am on Tuesday April 23rd 2024, my Mom and Siblings and I visited Grandma Honey one last time, we cried, we mourned, and today the rest of my Extended Family Tree and I who were closest to Grandma Honey are now currently grieving, some of us are pulling ourselves together, and some of us are still processing her passing, and as for me: I’m currently doing both, which is why I made this memorial portrait for Grandma Honey, so I hope my family, friends, and followers like this as I hope my late grandma in the afterlife likes what I’ve made for her too of course.

Raph & Casey VS. The Vampires: This is just my Random TMNT Fan Art illustration at attempting to draw Raphael the Red Masked Ninja Turtle in the Osamu Tezuka style and Casey Jones in the Akira Toriyama style, with a twist of the Jim Lawson Ink shading style mixed together, or at least… that’s what I was hoping to attempt, but once again I inadvertently drew them in my Default Main Original Art Style and I’m fine with that since I have a never ending tendency to fluctuate with my eclectic and diverse art style to explore an art multiverse of art styles like all the time for fun really. And on the bright side, at least I had some fun drawing my favorite interpretation of Vampires with the 3 finger clawed hands and 2 toe clawed feet in the LoK: Soul Reaver design style of course, hmm… speaking of, I once drew a Fan Art illustration of the TMNT with a mix of both the LoK: Soul Reaver design style mashed with the My Hero Academia style 8 years ago when the Anime had only just made it’s debut back then, and I’m already starting to think about redrawing that one again, or I’ll draw the Old Movie Sonic/Ugly Sonic and the Wachowski Family in the Tintin style, or draw… well I don’t know what I’ll draw yet, but I know this one was fun to draw and I hope you folks like my TMNT Fan Art illustration anyway.

Stark Multiverse: I made this like 11 days ago (as of 4-5-2024 of this post) and I forgot to post it on my social media platforms, my extended family and I already have like so much going on with my Mom watching over Grandma Honey at the hospital, my Genderfluid Younger Sibster/Sister: Mackynze still trying to finish her/their unpacking of living in our family’s RV in our family home’s backyard while helping her/their longtime roommate and nowadays best friend: Galaron with unpacking her stuff as she’s moving into my family’s backyard RV with my Sibster too of course, but then again I forget to post my finished works on social media platforms due to me being absent minded like all the time (chuckle), but its all good now. Well anyway, this is a Gem Fan Fusion between Steven Universe and Invincible a.k.a Mark Grayson as a Gem Fusion mix breed of a Gem Hybrid and a Viltrumite Hybrid that are both half human, and I’ve always wondered like… why are Gem aliens so much more narrow minded about the material & social concepts of aging, procreation (L&S if get what I’m mentioning here btw), families, friendships, and social interactions etc, that Viltrumites know how to be Faster Learners at understanding that most Gem Aliens are just Slow at Learning all the time, I can’t help but wonder which of the two humanoid alien species are smarter and faster learners at understanding and adapting to those material and social concepts, as well as which one of those Alien Species were a bigger threat in the beginnings of those Invincible & Steven Universe before reforming in the ends of those two Alien Coming of Age Sagas altogether, I also had some fun making the M-shape on both his chest & shoulders as well as his waist too, also the red, light blue, and black are colored to reflect the three colored shirts that Steven wore throughout his Animated Saga. And I hope you folks like my Crossover Fan Art piece of Steven & Mark making their own Gem Fan Fusion together I had fun making of course.

BAR’s PS5 Screenshots 3-16-2024: Here are my 10 new Screenshots from Street Fighter 6 I actually forgot to post on some of my social media platforms almost a week ago now, due to working an Oddworld + Steven Universe Fan Art illustration of Lapis Lazuli and Abe, and working on my 10 yr milestone remake illustration of my Grandma getting peddled around in her red wheelchair by a Dolphin DreamKeeper Avatar I created for her back in 2014 as I remade it this year (as of 3-16-2024 of writing this post’s description of course), and visiting my grandma to make sure she’s doing well, I just lost track of the time, but on the bright side, I got back to playing Street Fighter 6 on my PS5 since I might as well try to finish playing through my Street Fighter Avatar’s world tour storyline, my SF6 Avatar used to go by the full name of Brisk Tintor, but after seeing the in game-mobile text msgs on how my avatar was being addressed by his full name like it was a first name basis, I went to the in game settings, removed the surname: Tintor, so now my SF6 Avatar is plainly addressed as just: Brisk nowadays in my SF6 World Tour PlayThrough of course, any this is what my SF6 Avatar’s full body appearance looks like in my Real Life Likeness with just my face, stomach, height, and skin tone etc, but with some exaggerated mashup design choices of Frank Miller, Rob Liefeld, and the Elven People of my longtime favorite Cult Video Game Series: Jak & Daxter, just for fun. I’m aware that there are some people who have a lot of mixed feelings about the Street Fighter character customization features being weird, but to me: that’s no surprise because longtime street fighter fans should know as well as I do that most of the character design styles for Street Fighter Characters have always had this marvelous mix of Frank Miller, Rob Liefeld, Kevin Eastman, Mark Bagley, and Antarctic Press AmeriManga imho, so I hope you folks like these screenshots of my SF6 Avatar: Brisk, as I’m proud of how I designed him for fun anyway of course.

May Your Best Prayers Come True: The 1st picture in the 2nd image was drawn by me 10 years ago when I made this Purple Striped Dolphin DreamKeeper Avatar for Grandma Honey for fun back, yeah I’ll admit the I drew those proportions in the dark blue background didn’t age well, but that’s mostly because I was in my 20's back then, and I had a lot to learn about getting proportions and angles right, yeah the Black Inked handwriting in the dark blue background is fairly visible and I know now in hindsight I should’ve thought choices in Color Tones and Handwriting through back then, and I know I didn’t exactly get this much better at my diversely eclectic art style until my mid 20's, so the 2nd picture in the 1st I did this year in just a blank white background 10 years later today (as of 3-14-2024 as I finished making this one for my Maternal Grandma: Helen "Honey" Stockwell, yesterday of course), and the red wheelchair she has in that 10 year remade illustration is real since my family and I have been peddling her everywhere in that chair btw, but the point is… My Grandma has been staying at the hospital for 10 days now since Monday March 4th 2024 this year (as of 3-14-2024 of writing this post’s description), and the rest of my extended family tree relatives, my family, and myself included have been taking turns visiting her or gathering together while mom’s been staying at the hospital watching over her, and… I’ll just say that a lot has been happening to her and I hope she gets well soon… I let you folks know one of these days until my EFT and my Family and I have got news from my grandma’s doctors and nurses how she’s doing, but I hope you folks like what I’ve made here of course.

Death by Carnivorous Prejudice: I hope this one isn’t going against today’s rules of social media policies these days, so I’m gonna try getting straight to the point of this bloody fan art illustration’s story here, (ahem-cough) this is a Non Fanon Alternate Bad Ending on my Fan Made What If-Gem Love Interest for Abe: Oddworld’s Lapis coming into one of those Vykker flying labs to find and save Abe only to find out that the What If-Lucky Love of Her/Their life was half eaten to shreds by those scary psycho smiling experimented fuzzles and Oddworld’s Lapis felt tragically shocked and emotionally traumatized in tears of horror and heartache because of what the Fuzzles had done to Abe, she/they use their psychic water power to shoo off the fuzzles like they were being bad dogs, Oddworld’s Lapis gets down on her/their knees to carry Abe’s corpse in Lapis’ and hug him as Oddworld’s Lapis cries in heartache, which is I thought it would be interesting to make my fan interpretation of the Bad Ending from Oddworld: Munch’s Oddysee to be well… emotionally interesting rather than be darkly twisted and sickly comedic, so… I also chose the Tower of Fantasy’s Piano Main Theme to make this an emotional preach, I’ve been curious and fascinated by Lorne Lanning’s preachy and interpretative storytelling on his Oddworld games for years now, while I know he’s told many of his gaming interviewers how he makes the Oddworld games to reflect the toxic consequences of consumerism even he’s made the social class interpretations of Mudokons being used as Livestock-Slaves and Glukkons being the greedy and toxic equivalent of capitalist upperclassmen, but I for one believe and wish that there’d be something more to Oddworld’s life lessons than telling us about just the dark truths about consumerism. I don’t know if this Tower of Fantasy Piano Theme is fitting for this one or not, but I thought it make this one feel emotionally interesting, due to how deep and preachy the storytelling style of Oddworld really is, so I hope you folks like this one anyway.

Have you read Homestuck?

I read about maybe two or three pages of it a bit, about eight or nine years ago. But I’m just not really interested in that webcomic, although I am mostly into Slice of Life Webcomics, Superhero Webcomics, and even Furry Webcomics etc, but I’ve also got too many of my favorite Webcomics to count, except Homestuck, I do not care for that webcomic, I respect those that personally like that webcomic as part of their personal lists of their favorite webcomics of course, but I’m just not as interested in that webcomic as others are… I hope that answers your question, even if it isn’t a satisfying answer.

Nintendo Switch Screenshots 3-6-2024: These my top 5 best Screenshots of the two best Mario Games I’ve been playing, I had just beaten the main story of the Super Mario RPG Switch Remake Three days ago as you can see the Super Mario RPG Cast having thanked me for playing their remake in a stage background, I also used to rent the original Super Mario RPG Super NES Title from Hollywood Video back in those days and play it on my Super NES Console, my family tree generation and I used to rent our movies and games from Blockbuster and Hollywood Video back when the two Video Rental Chains were commonplace in our neighborhoods, but ever since the rise of the digital market and streaming market, Video Rental stores like Blockbuster and Hollywood Video were phased out of existence in the early 2010's with the Blockbuster in Oregon being the only surviving video rental store in America that’s still alive but has also become a shopping landmark in the Oregon State City/ Oregonian City: Bend these days, these four game pics are of Super Mario Bros. Wonder that I’m still currently playing through with pictures of Mario’s white & red fire form, and his elephant form too. Yeah its been awhile since I’ve taken some Nintendo Switch Screenshots, but at least MAR10 Day is about to begin 4/Four days, and I honestly hope I’ve got the time to shop for a modern classic Mario Title under it’s MAR10 Day sales price before that day ends, and I’m thinking of getting myself one of those Luigi Spinoff Titles for the first time in my life one of these sometime around MAR10 Day or sometime on my birthday in two months instead since my Grandma is at the hospital now, so… I honestly doubt in foresight that I’ll have time to shop on such a special day due to what been going on with my family and I tending my Grandma’s hospital visiting needs from me and my family tree for emotional support, and I just pray and hope that she’ll get well soon.

BAR’s PS5 Screenshots 3-6-2024: the first 7 screenshots of this game are actually my Digital Download version of the Shadow of the Colossal PS4 Remake I now own digitally in my PS5 Console, and I gotta say though, that game is just as beautiful as when I actually used to play the PS3 Remaster of the original PS2 version of that game I played in the Team Ico Collection 12 or 13 years ago… my original PS3 Fat Launch Model Console crashed from the yellow light of death only once in summer 2010 and then later twice in summer 2011 when that 3rd yellow light of death forced me to go for a PS3 Slim Model Console later on Christmas 2011, that’s when I got myself the Team Ico Collection although I can’t remember if I got that compilation title in Christmas 2011 or on the 1st quarter months of early 2012, but one thing I do know is that the two visual styles of both SOTC’s PS2 Original Graphics and PS4 Remake Graphics have both aged gracefully, especially when the underdog PlayStation Studio Owned Company: BluePoint Games have surprisingly a marvelous job at remaking both that PS2 Cult Classic’s cast & open designs wholly from scratch, and for capturing the original PS2 Gameplay Animation Physics they put into that 2018 PS4 Remake too, the 8th and 9th screenshots are of this spectacular Metroidvania title known as Vernal Edge, and I know I’m having fun with that PS5 Digital Download Title too, and the 10th screenshot is of my Street Fighter Avatar I created in Street Fighter 6, and my SF6 Avatar’s name is Brisk Tintor, in hindsight: I probably should’ve also taken some pictures of my SF6 Avatar’s full body design too, just so you’d how I made my avatar’s design look, but maybe later when I’m done playing my Scarlet Nexus PS5 Disc Title’s whole story on my PS5 Disc Drive Console, I’ll reinstall Street Fighter 6 back in and capture some screenshots of my Avatar’s full appearance one of these days, since I wanted to save up my PS5 Console’s storage space btw, but I hope you folks like what games I’ve been playing of course.

Dark Eco Mutant Ninja Dratles: These TMNT Parody Fan Characters were originally going to be DreamKeepers versions of TMNT with multicolored halos floating on the tops of their heads I tell ya' folks what, but of course ever since I saw how the DreamKeepers Co Creators: David Lillie & Liz Lillie actually create DreamKeepers Parodies of the cult favorite TMNT Clones/Parodies: The BattleToads into appearing in the Prequel Webcomic: DreamKeepers Prelude, I decided to remake my Dragon-Turtle Hybrid Fan Interpretations of the Ninja Turtles into the Jak & Daxter Universe versions of the TMNT rather than the DreamKeepers Universe versions, and the Ninja Dratles are also part Metal Heads now too if you’re familiar with the Metal Head monsters from Jak 2 & 3 of the J&D Trilogy of course, doing hind leg poses are still tough for me to draw as I’m still learning how to do anthropomorphic hind legs y'know, but I hope you folks like it anyway.

The Invincible Family of Remnant: This is my RWBYverse fan incarnations for what if the Grayson Family a.k.a the Invincible Family lived on the Advanced Fairytale Cultured Planet: Remnant, rather than coming from Earth or living on Talescria, the Blue Armored invincible is Mark Grayson wearing Megaman inspired armor, his red haired then girlfriend & later wife: Atom Eve, his B🐟 Son: Markus Murphy (since Anissa assaulted Mark in such a controversial act of course) as Invincible 2 wearing yellow armor with blue arm & leg sleeves, and the dark haired lady is Mark & Eve’s daughter: Terra a.k.a Lady Invincible (… or is it Invincible Girl?) wearing Pink and Blue light armor inspired by the Overlord Isekai Light Novel based manga & anime Series character: Clementine, flying outside of the floating city of atlas (which fell in the season finale of RWBY Volume 8 if I recall that correctly), I just wanted to draw them together in a RWBY FanVerse for fun, and I hope you folks like it anyway. Oh and I got this new water refillable watercolor brush pack that I just tried out on this one too of course.

Chuck Jones presents Team Sonic: These are the Movie Iterations of Sonic the Hedgehog, Tails the Fox, and Knuckles the Echidna, drawn in that Chuck Jones style, and I gotta say though, I’m honestly proud of this one, especially when I chose both their Sonic Jam cover pose and Palm Tree Hill as the Portal Ring’s Background too, so uh… I hope you folks like my Chuck Jones styled interpretation of Team Sonic I drew for fun of course.

Team Crystar’s Dr. Livesey-Meme March: These are my OCs of the Treasure Hunting Adventurer Trio, Team Crystar (whose names you can now see on top of those 3 framed portraits of course) drawn in my main style in their default designs whereas the Team Crystar you see doing the Dr. Livesey-Walk are drawn in the Chuck Jones art style that I’m currently playing around with as I just want to explore that art style for fun, I came across one of those Dr. Livesey Meme Walk variant videos I saw on YouTube almost two years ago since August 2022, and I gotta say though, drawing my three OCs with those three stairs like smiles were a lot of fun to draw, and drawing my oldest and closest OC: Larry Lizard doing Dr. Livesey’s walking pose was a lot more fun to draw too imho of course, and I hope you like this momentary Chuck Jones style I drew on my three OCs while doing their Dr. Livesey-Meme March of course.

Ainz Ooal Pixar: These are my two facial expression character sketches of Ainz Ooal Gown drawn in the Pixar’s Coco art style, and I will admit the second sketch you see in the 1st picture post today may be on account of the facts I’ve kept this work in progress in a 6 years belated draft for a long time now, and I’m glad that I came back to finish what I should’ve finished 6 years earlier in hindsight of course, and its been another awhile since I did another digital illustration or sketch for sometime now, although I’ve got a feeling in foresight that I’ll have to look into redrawing those two facial expression character sheets again but with sharp teeth later on, to make Ainz’ Teeth look just like the sharp teeth he actually has in the Overlord Light Novel sourced manga & anime franchise of course, I honestly missed making these Pixar’s Coco style sketches and illustrations of Ainz Ooal Gown having a Pixar Skull like the facially expressive animated skeletons of Pixar’s Coco, that I’m gonna have to look into it one of days after I finish making my latest SFW fan Art Illustration in progress first, I’ve been busy with a lot of things on many occasions over the years now, but I hope you like Pixar’s Coco style facial expressions of Pixar Variant-Ainz Ooal Gown of course.

Assassin Mickey’s Creed: This is my first time drawing Classic Mickey Mouse a.k.a Public Domain Mickey Mouse in my Sonic-Cerebus art style a.k.a Hedge-Vark art style since I just love drawing Cartoon Animal Mascot Characters in that hybrid art style on so many occasions these days, I wanted to take a crack at drawing a fun fan art illustration of Classic Mickey wearing the White Assassin Robes from Assassin’s Creed, so I took some inspiration from both Assassin Ray from the Rayman Legends: Definitive Edition on Switch, and the Assassin Bullfrog from the Ubisoft Crossover Netflix Anime: Captain Laserhawk: A Blood Dragon Remix, which is how I drew Classic Mickey as Assassin Mickey for fun, did this in mechanical pencils and Fine Point Ink Pens, and colored with Watercolor Colored Pencils and used thick and fine point paint brushes to water brush around it to give Assassin Mickey and the Background one of those Shadow 05' promotional image poses you’re seeing now. So I hope you folks like my Public Domain Mickey Mouse fan art picture I did this year.

Kaio Kincaid’s DreamKeeper: This is K.O. From the CN Cult Favorite: OK K.O. Let’s Be Heroes, a Fantastic Cartoon Network Original whose full TV series lasted only two short years and three seasons from around 2017 to 2019, it’s been about five years now since the show met it’s… surprisingly self aware meta rushed series finale while having shown off Easter Eggs of how many more adventures and crossovers K.O. could’ve had, on account of how much of his whole future, K.O. had so much ahead of him back then, and even K.O.’s Creator: Ian Jones Quartey revealed in 2021 how he and his OK K.O. Crew had originally wanted to make the OK K.O. Full TV Series into a Full Streaming TV series on a Streaming AT&T and WarnerMedia platform that would later become the then HBOmax in 2020 which has nowadays changed it’s name to Max since May 2023 last year, which is a rather surprising retrospective truth that I had no idea that I’d come across since I was only looking around the OK K.O. Fandom Website a month ago to see if there was any hopeful news of whether or not the OK K.O. Media Franchise could be revived in the future someday in the form of a sequel series, a spinoff, an IDW Licensed Comic Sequel Series that could serve as some non canon season 4 in Licensed Comic Form, or maybe even a Direct to Streaming Movie or Streaming TV Special etc, and I honestly didn’t know that IJQ wanted to make the OK K.O. Full TV Show into a Streaming Original, which in hindsight: had HBOmax/Max had launched earlier in 2017 around OK K.O.’s time back then, then the show’s lifespan wouldn’t have ever needed to be held back by Cable TV Ratings which led to their early cancellation in the first place, but enough about that, I wanted to draw K.O. and his Were Puppy form in the DreamKeepers art style while giving his Canine Self his own DK-Halo, because I thought it would be fun to just draw them in that style while staying faithful to their simplistic designs. So I hope you folks like this DreamKeepers style interpretation of the two K.O.'s of course.
