Day 8: Zombie
"Pure cone-tentment"

I present my take on a Conehead Zombie from Plants vs. Zombies. It's my personal fave of all the Drawlloween doodles because he turned out so gosh darn happy! You just can't help but love him. <3

Day 4: Vampire
"Vampire Queen of All Cosmos"

The mashup no one wanted: Countess Carmilla from Vampire Hunter D: Bloodlust, drawn in the style of The Queen of All Cosmos from the Katamari franchise.

I couldn't help myself. They both have tube-shaped heads.

My husband plays so much Mega Man. So Much.

He also plays and streams a lot of Mega Man fangames, and curates one of the largest Mega Man fangame trackers on the internet.

Some of these games are brilliant. Some of these games are so ridiculously over-the-top they transcend pithy terms like "good" or "bad." And others... well, others are the game equivalent of a drunken text.

These first few images are all ones I doodled in MS Paint and left on my husband's desktop for him to find.

Here we have young Nuptup, the hero of ProJared's Pokémon FireRed Nuzlocke Challenge.
Nathaniel and I had a span of a few months where we spent almost all of our free time watching through the entire backlog of ProJared's channel. This nuzlocke series was one of the absolute highlights of that endeavor.

Last week I did a shout-out on the Facebook page asking for suggestions of what to draw next.  I received this response from E. A. Baker of Can't Stop a Squirtle - "A yoshi with different footwear than boots. Like if a bunch of them went out shoe shopping or something."  
This morning I logged onto my computer and saw an article listing 25 shoe designs from Milan Fashion Week.
I decided to draw Yoshi modelling actual footwear designs from Milan (Alberta Ferretti, Byblos, and Alberto Zambelli), modified to reflect various characters from the Mario Bros. franchise (Toadette, Yoshi, and Luigi, respectively).

Any other suggestions on what to draw this week?

Today was my husband's interview, so I made him this cheering figurine out of an actual chestnut, felt, and paper.  This also concludes the Chestnut saga.
