(Audrey Flowers art part 2!!), link to the first drawing and her character description here: ( https://www.tumblr.com/sleepymeepies/781295937575321600/i-have-my-own-au-audreyaudrey-oc-for-my?source=share ) <333
I wanted my Audrey to have two outfits. One that was darker and cooler colors for the middle of the story when she's going through harder times, and one outfit that was brighter with warmer colors to represent she's healing along with nature towards the end of the story. The first drawing I posted was of her first outfit. For this second drawing I also wanted to draw her looking more playful and happy, I've also been wanting to draw a character in this pose for a while xD (if you're wondering the L is directed at Once-ler, whom she lovingly teases like he's her brother)
(Audrey Art part 1.) I have my own AU Audrey/Audrey OC for my "Once-ler-pon A Time" fic now and this is her and I love her. This is Audrey Flowers and she's 20! Click "Keep Reading" to hear all about her!!!
My Audrey seems very serious and somewhat closed off before you properly meet her, partly because her parents are very critical of her and judgemental and because she's constantly been picked on by classmates. But also because the destruction of nature and beginning of O'Hare's dictatorship started when she was a teenager so she was forced to grow up too fast and become pessimistic and sad.
But once you get to know my Audrey and she trusts you, she will love you and trust you deeply forever. Once she trusts you she's very very silly and playful and totally embraces her inner child around you. She will constantly do silly things.
She's also extremely gentle and polite, even before she knows or trusts anybody, but if she senses injustice she is fierce and fights back. She's extremely protective over her loved ones and has strong morals.
She's also very artistic, mostly liking painting and dancing. She finds painting is the only way she can truly express herself and her inner child without her parents or strangers judging.
One day Audrey gets tired of living in Thneedville and trying to be a "perfect, lady-like young woman" for her parents so she sneaks out of town and while aimlessly exploring she comes across the Once-ler who's been isolated for a few years and is an emotional mess. She hates him at first when she realized what he's done and who he is, but she soon comes to understand why he did what he did and realizes he actually has a pure heart and feels like a scared little kid who grew up too fast just like her (And he has mama issues just like her). They end up becoming best friends with a sibling-like bond and I love them. (My Audrey is actually partly inspired by my best friend Monique as my Once-ler is partly based off me xD)
I drew this for my grandma. Recently I've been thinking about her even more than I always already am and her birthday is this month. And also just because I love her very much. <3
I wanted this artwork to feel comforting and dainty as well as gentle and kind, much like my memories of my grandma. It was important for me to include lots of flowers but esspecially pink roses. They were her favourites and she had a garden full of them. She would talk about the dragonflies in her garden and once sent me and my mom dragonflies made of ribbons (she loved making crafts and sewing <3) so I included dragonflies. She absoluetly adored snowflakes and loved rabbits too. I included a small rat as years ago she had a lovely pet rat named Rosy, and some planets because she once sent my mom a book about space. I included a deer and an angle as angles are angelic and pure, and I think of deers as gentle and dainty innocent creatures. I meant for the drawing to be more pastel colors but it turned out looking kind of Lisa Frank but that's okay. I really hope my grandma would love this drawing. <333
(Comfort Characters part 3.) Pam Beesly š. The Office is probably my favourite show and I love many characters on it but Pam is the most comforting and also most relatable. She's the sweet and shy artsy mom-friend and no Pam hate will be tolerated on this page š
I drew Ariel for my mum. š§āāļø Ariel is her favourite Disney Princess and has been since she saw The Little Mermaid at the cinema as a teenager. She told me she also had the soundtrack on cassette and a The Little Mermaid poster framed in her room which I find very sweet. It makes me very happy that she adored an animated film so much as a teen because I've always been that way. I also listen to the soundtracks of my favourite animated movies and am tryna get wall art too. xD
"Everybody needs a Thneed!"
I was just sketching for fun a few days ago when I drew this little Once-ler. I feel like recently I've been trying really hard to have my art look a certain way (less cutesy, slightly more mature, more gentle, etc). So it was nice to just draw something (this Once-ler) the way my hand just naturally wants to draw. This is the same way I drew my Once-lers when me and my friend Monique did our drawing game.
I love this style dearly but I still can't help but feel the need to draw less cutesy sometimes. I've honestly been feeling very artistically insecure recently and have been trying to learn so many drawing techniques at once that I feel like I don't remember how to draw at the moment.
Basic Anna sketch (and by sketch I mean this took me like an hour and four layers). Gonna be honest and say I donāt know what my drawing style is anymore. Also I finally saw Frozen 2 last night so yay :D!!
I've been obsessed with Frozen again recently since watching it to celebrate New Years Eve so I had to draw my dear Elsa. I wanted to draw her with her old dress on but with her hair down cus I love that iconic moment in Let It Go when she lets her hair down.
For years me and my best friend Monique have played this drawing game where we put the names of characters, animals, even objects into a hat (or on a picker wheel) and blindly choose two out and have to draw them merged together.
I got some pretty goofy combinations (shown under the "keep reading") but my favourite combo/drawing I made was definitely "Hello Kitty + Once-ler".
I absolutely adore this Hello Kitty themed Once-ler!! š<333 I think he's so adorable! x3 He's definitely not gonna be a serious Once-ler OC like my Oncekins or anything, but I might keep him around for fun because omg I love him!!
Annnd here are the other combinations I got. Pretty wild indeed š . I absoluetly love my frickin ridiculous ballerina Greedler. I honestly think he is hilarious and I am so pleased with the amount of sass and pizzazz I gave him. I drew him and was immediately like "ah yes, Tumblr would appreciate this cursed, cringey drawing".
I've very much been absolutely adoring pomegranates recently so I wanted to draw one. One, because they're such a pretty and unique fruit and two, because we had no pomegranate in the house for a couple weeks and I was really craving it so I thought I could draw it and like eat it with my eyes. Since that little bakery drawing I have discovered I love to draw food; it feels so cozy and wholesome.
I wanted to draw something for Lunar New Year even though it is still over a week away, so here's my attempt at drawing a lion like the lions in the lion dances. This was my first drawing done with Procreate on my new iPad with my new apple pencil!! All my digital art supplies have been upgraded so I'm hoping my art will be nicer from now on!
I wasnāt going to make an art summary for 2024 because for a good quarter of the year the only artworks I made were high school art assignments, but I decided it would still be fun to share those because I actually really like them and wanted to share art Iāve made thatās out of my norm. Like realism and clay. Honestly I didnāt draw an awful lot this year until September. I also thought Iād share some 2023 art to share my improvement in my art style, and more out-of-my-norm artā¦.
Merry Christmas people of Tumblr!! I send all of you lots of love and warm wishes this holiday season! ā¤ļøšš«¶:3 hereās some festive doodles!! š«¶^_^š(I actually drew this over a month ago, lol)
My dear Once and Melvin ā¤ļø. This was actually the first digital drawing I made using some new, more gentle brushes. I wanted my digital version of this piece to have the same softness as the sketch. I think I probably succeeded and I will definitely keep using these brushes ā¤ļø. Sketch in ācontinue readingā⦠<3
Hereās a couple of self insert characters of my best friend Monique and I! Sheās an Easter Bunny and Iām a tooth fairy! Iāll put all the info about these characters in a āread moreāā¦
Me and my dear friend Monique were having a goofy conversation about āwhy the Grinch and the Lorax would make a great coupleā. I asked what their ship name would be and she said āChristmas Treeā because itās āone furry man who learned to love Christmas and another furry man who loves treesā and so we started adding more and more fictional characters to this story, calling it āThe Christmas Tree AUā. And then she said āwhat if weāre in this story tooā and she told me she wanted to be the Easter Bunny in this AU so I decided Iād be the tooth fairy because I adore fairy and already wanted to make a fairy self insert! So thatās the story of how this came to be! I might make another self insert thatās more serious at some point but honestly I kinda love the tooth fairy concept soooo maybe not, lol!! Hereās a sketch of Monique in āBunny Formāā¦
These are my original mythical creatures. The first one is a āSquibbleā and the second one is a āMeepyā (like my username).
Squibble are energetic and playful little creatures that are extremely social, always hungry for berries, and can be a little rowdy. Meepies are mythical creatures that are born the first time a human feels a sense of wistful whimsy. Theyāre naturally whimsical yet melancholic at the same time, and theyāre extremely gentle and sensitive creatures.
I wrote some wholesome, positive messages on these drawings as well because I find them comforting.
Some sketches of Rapunzel, Eugene/Flynn and Pascal. š«¶ This movie is my childhood and actually one of the only Disney Princesses movies I got really into. (Others are probably Brave, Frozen and Princess and the Frog)
I absolutely adore Rapunzelās short brown hair but I think long golden hair makes her way more recognizable. So for the sake of my drawings, I came up with a head canon that her hair eventually will grow back golden but this wasnāt discovered in the movie because Mother Gothel would repeatedly cut the small brown piece of hair behind Rapunzelās ear so she didnāt have to look at it and be reminded that she kidnapped this poor girl.
Also ironically I really struggled to get Eugeneās nose right (iykyk)
Some Grinch sketches to welcome the festive season āØ. I watched the 2018 Grinch for the first time since 2021 and I weirdly donāt remember seeing it in 2021 at all. So it was kind of my first time watching it in a way. Me and my mom loved it! Itās so cute and silly and so undeserving of all the hate!! My mom thought the little Grinch was so adorable and I thought the Grinch emotional eating was such a mood so obviously I had to draw both those things.
Hereās a wholesome painting I did of two baby dragons cuddling. š«¶š Honestly so proud of this one, I feel like my eyes have been blessed by my own painting. I donāt even care if I sound cocky, thatās how much I love it š.
I havenāt been sharing any art that isnāt fanart yet because Iām worried itās harder for people to find because you have less options for hastags and no targeted fandom. But ya know what, I really like this drawing and Iām gonna post it anyways. This was actually drawn about a year ago for school. We made a newsletter sort of thing filled with writing done by people in my creative writing class and it needed a cover. If I drew this now just for myself and not for a cover Iād probably add more background.
Iām really proud of this one ššš¤ . The idea behind this picture was that it takes place some time after Eve and Wall.E save the earth and that the tree they are looking at is the plant from the movie š«¶.
I guess it's hard to get hugs right with wing arms
A new art fight attack!
just some sour lemon boys š
Baby teruko is so cute. Imma check out the bonus content later but the drawing of the students as children is children is really cute. Especially teruko and whit. So cute. Luv the artist's style of drawing.
Iām releasing 2 ābonus episodesā sometime soon.* āBonus episodesā are extra content that features backstory and various sides of characters that arenāt otherwise seen in DRDT. It seems theyāll be about 10-15 minutes in length.
*āsoonā relative to chapter 2. Probably, not that soon.
The attached drawing is for interest and has nothing to do with the bonus episodes.
Characters from when they were kids. Some people are quite different from when they were younger.
