So that little dragon is SO so cute, and I really like the pieces you've dedicated to the people you enjoy playing with. It's such a nice tribute to the friends we make along the way <3

that little dragon is so cute he reminds me of Spike from My Little Pony: Friendship is magic (of which I am a big fan of so in my head your little nutrient giving dragon is officially Spike's cousin).

Enjoying reading the little blurbs behind each piece

I love all the different art styles you have going on here, Ali!! and the dedications to others/others charries is such a fun way of doing this. Also… your widdle dragon is absolutely ADORABLE!

Aww, your teamwork prompt is so sweet. Really enjoying the character inspo for each one.

Indeed he is! His face is so precious!
I couldn't agree more! It's important to remind the people in your life what they mean to you

Awww I'm happy you like him! And I love the link your formed with My Little Pony!
Hehe thanks! They are fun to write.

You're so kind! Thank you, thank you! Thrilled that you're enjoying it all!

Thanks, MJ! You know how much many of these characters mean to me :3

Prompt #25: Earmuffs

Say hello to my very lopsided pink earmuffs! I was actually going to scrap this one and redo it after I realised it looks a lot unbalanced then I was like... "Nah, it's all part of the fun!" So I went ahead and filled in the colour, and here we are! One fuzzy, punk earmuffs which is probably passable to be used when dealing with Mandrakes

SPOILER!!: Click!

The cutest little dragon that makes Benny go all awwwwwwwwww

Look at those two. A lovely tribute.

Almost good enough to eat like two puffballs of cotton candy.

Your tribute to Waffles means even more now that we lost my grandmother's cat Luna. Just typing that makes me tear up.


On a happier note...I LOVE YOUR DRAGON AND I WANTS IT NOW!

Great job my love <3 I can't wait to see what else you come up with!

Aww your earmuffs look so fuzzy and soft. What did you use to color them?

Maybe that was baby dragon Benny
Hehe the babies of their respective families!
Eeeee hadn't thought of it that way! haha I love it!

It's a tough time to go through, Suzy Take good care of yourself.
I'm sending him over to you right now
Awww thanks so much! :3

Appreciate those words! I use regular wooden, coloured pencils.

Prompt #17: Ingredients

This is a tribute to Robbie Coltrane whom we sadly lost today. Mr. Coltrane was rather talented, kind, easy to work with and fun - all of which we saw in the way he brought Hagrid to life and in behind-the-scenes videos and pictures. All of these 'ingredients' made him our perfect Hagrid. Rest in Peace, Mr. Coltrane.

"So you could be watching it [Harry Potter] in fifty years time, easy. I'll not be here but... but Hagrid will. Yes." - Robbie Coltrane {Harry Potter 20th Anniversary: Return to Hogwarts}

Prompt #24: Black

It's Halloween {almost} and since black cats are associated with it, I created a little kitty just for Seektober! He isn't completely back - I left his face white since I didn't think I would be able to get his features to show properly if I coloured it in - but he's definitely a blue-eyed cutie

SPOILER!!: Click!

UGh, Ali these are all so cute! I can't get over the adorableness of that little dragon! And what an absolutely beautiful tribute to our Hagrid

I'm also especially loving the sweet kitty you drew <3 Your drawing is excellent!!

you know I love your graphic-y type pieces but omg, look at the little dragon! so cUTE. and I really enjoy the style you used in your teamwork prompt, the layout in the piece and everything. and such a sweet background to it :3

the earmuffs are so great too, you've nailed the fuzziness in the pink ear... things. the cat you drew is absolutely adorable too, and so much character in that little face

and the tribute ;; it's beautiful

hehe I'm glad you like him! And the tribute! And the kitty!

Do you know how huge your compliments are to me?! Shall be treasuring each of your words. Thank you, Feely :3

Prompt #1: Sunshine

This is a replica of a drawing I would repeatedly do as a child. It's always one of sunshine, happiness and peace. I remember being inspired by the smiling sun from Teletubbies and would always draw a smiley face on my own sun. I understand now that it's my way of saying the sun is passing its sunshine-y attributes to the life around it - the birds, the green hills, the humans.

SPOILER!!: Click!

ugh. Robbie Coltrane ;_____; that quote was the first thing that I thought of as well when I heard of his passing. Thank you indeed, Mr. Coltrane.

Black is such a hard thing to work with, so I don't blame you for the white face kitty. I've found that using dark grey/greys/ to lighten and shade help with that. Granted I have not worked with colored pencil in ages but...something maybe to play around with in the future I'm discovering my appreciation for layering greys with my markers too

also, sunshine, I feel like this is a universal image that we all drew as kids and it is WILD. Who told us to put smiles and eyes on a sun (I always did sunglasses)

He will be missed by all

Oooooh!!!! Thanks for that tip! I will certainly keep it in mind. Ugh, you are so creative and darn great with the artsy stuff!

I legit did not know that It's still my fave go-to image to doodle. Used to draw it all the time in my books at School and Uni. Ahhh, I NEVER got shades to look proper so I gave up

Prompt #10: Nurturing

This prompt describes fully the friendship that Evan and Jude share. Said friendship has been through some trying situations but these two have somehow always managed to rise above those situations; they continue being there for each other, supporting each other. As Jude is my character, I can fully attest to the fact that he would do practically anything for Evan and that included sticking around whenever Evan is at his lowest. He did and continues to do everything he possibly can to help Evan heal fully. And honestly, he's still enjoying learning this version of his best friend that he's never met since he only knew the broken, withdrawn Evan. This friendship has made me laugh, made me ugly cry, it warms my heart SO much that it's a super strong one.

Note: this is a dedication to Chelliephone. She's a HUGE part of my everyday life. My friendship with her is the best sort of relationship I've ever had - our communication is next level, she's always patient with me on my bad days and she's a sport for putting up with Jude and his drama. I love her a ton. I also love that she spoils me with graphics

SPOILER!!: Click!

That is such a lovely tribute to Hagrid and Robbie Coltrane ;__;
I love cats and yours is super cute! Your little sun is so friendly. I am certain I drew suns like that when I was small too, even though teletubbies was after my time lol. And aww, your graphic and dedication for Nurturing is really sweet.

Thank you on all counts, MJ! I appreciate you so much!
Oh gosh, I feel so old with the teletubbies thing!

Prompt #5: Hufflepuff

Adi is my second Hufflepuff played in the School RPG and the first to fully embody all of the House's traits. His bubbly, kind, friendly nature was why he immediately became one of my fave charries to RP. There was a point in time when I was going through some situations and I honestly felt that if it hadn't been for playing him, I wouldn't have coped as well as I did.

Here we have a graphic of Adi through his years. Making this was quite the throwback since I had to dig up the first three photos from my RPG archives! Did I go all sentimental? Yes, I did :3

Note: this is a dedication to Holmesian Feline and Benny! Here's to our boys having many, many happy years of marriage

SPOILER!!: Click!

Awwww I'm honored by the dedication. He is definitely one of my favorite characters to play with. I can't say favorite Hufflepuff because the voices in my head get to arguing.

And Benny is currently starring at his beloved in your lovely work. (And maybe secretly wondering why he didn't fall in love with the cutie sooner lol)

That's fine that you can't say he's your fave! I'm just glad you enjoy RPing with him!

Ugh, Benny. Whyyy didn't you? But you're better late than never!

Prompt #28: Pot/Pottery

Remember that my cactus from earlier? Wellllll, a few weeks back, he started sprouting mini cacti! Eeeee! Exciting times! Anyway, I knew I had to repot him so after CAREFUL reading on how to go about doing so and the right type of soil to use, I did exactly that! He's now happily nesting as seen in the image below. Said image is bordered in green, representing my baby's bright green and I got these streaks pointing in his direction to sort of put him in the spotlight LOL. Also, three of the mini cacti can be seen! {At the base and centre of the original}.

SPOILER!!: Click!

Prompt #3: Watering Can

My first thought when I finished this? "OHMYGOSH, it looks like a rectangular teapot!" Still, I had a great time doodling this little watering can then colouring it in various colours. Looking at those water droplets, it occurs to me they look like little beans xD

SPOILER!!: Click!

Prompt #2: Patience

Sachin immediately came to mind when I saw this prompt. Goodness knows he needs this aspect of his personality with the course his life took; I mean this in a good way I'm talking about his married life. With a husband, two kids, pets, and a full time job, my chai addict is sometimes running on fumes on in the patience department - especially when Conley is overworking and overstressing himself. But Sachin definitely has a huge love for his family and enjoys all the challenges that come with it. Below is a simple graphic {yes, there's an image of him with his daughter, Radhika} for one of my simpler but precious characters.

Note: this is a dedication to Krel Ansell! Love having all the RPs with our little family, friend! This is also a tribute to Sachin's face claim - Sushant Singh Rajput - who died in 2020.

SPOILER!!: Click!

Prompt #19: Yellow

For this prompt, I took inspiration from my Hufflepuff mug. It's not quite as yellow as this, however. Anyway, my little doodle mug is filled with steaming tea, fit for the rainiest/coldest of days! As if all that yellow didn't make you think of Hufflepuff, the H in black just might!

SPOILER!!: Click!

your sunshine prompt is so cute, what a nice little throwback. and that tribute to jude and evan's friendship is so so lovely, as is the little blurb/backstory. we love strong character bonds in this house.

and adi through the ages T____T look how he's grown. I remember when he was a tiny baby puffball. also, I'm so glad we get to see the little cactus although I guess now it's technically cacti

idk what you're talking about, I definitely see that as a watering can !! and also, I love that you're mixing in the traditional art with your graphics so and giving us a little of each

that tribute to sachin is adorable too (and sad too, given the dedication to his FC ;; ). the shoutouts you're giving to your RP partners through your seektober prompts are really very sweet :3

I almost missed this one so I'm glad I have the habit of previewing a thousand times before I post I love the mug! and also, I suppose there's arguments for every house bUT a mug full of tea really does scream Hufflepuff for some reason, heheh

;___; I appreciate you for taking the time to reply to each of my uploads and for loving on them!
When I was making the Adi graphic, I thought of Tobias I was remembering this RP of them at the Lake. SUCH GOOD TIMES!

Honestly, I wish I could do a dedication to everyone I RP with {and Feely, you've just given me an idea } because everyone's so great in their own way

Here's to previewing saving the day Truely. Tea IS LIFE and I often say that the love for it is brought about the Hufflepuff in me xD

* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *

Prompt #4: Puffapod

Here we have a Puffapod plant all grown up. While adding colours, for some reason spoke to me {is this a normal thing with you guys? } and said it's an older Puffapod. Meaning, it's been all grown up for quite a while. I'm quite fond of this piece.

SPOILER!!: Click!

You're almost 2/3 there! Doesn't it feel great to create something every day (ish... I know. Ish). That mug is great, and I hope you have one that looks JUST LIKE THAT. It's been really fun all along to see how your brain works these out.
