So for those of you who don't know, it's canon that both Molly and Matthew lived in the city before moving to Forget-Me-Not Valley in Story of Seasons! I wanted to draw what they might've looked like before the game, poor stressed out bubs. #Mollthew #StoryofSeasons #shipping

pre-farm Matthew leans back at his desk, pushing his neatly-groomed hair back as he frowns. He thinks "fuck, I've got such a migraine", and clearly it's not the only problem he has going on from the pair of medicine bottles on his desk. From his office you can see the buildings of the city, as well as a tram that slices through it.
Matthew is dressed in common business attire, and his suit jacket resembles his current shirt in the design of the breast pockets. He looks handsome, but frustrated and stressed.

a loose sketch of Molly from before she moved to the Forget-Me-Not Valley, the location of Story of Seasons (or Harvest Moon) A Wonderful Life. She looks very similar to her usual appearance, but with a slightly more office-appropriate twist to it, including her employee badge hanging from a lanyard at her neck. She's spilled some papers from her arm and is trying to keep her composure as she stoops down to pick them up, already getting told off by her boss who impatiently taps their foot. She looks embarrassed, frustrated, and stressed.

I forget, have I shared my silly Mollthew shipping nonsense here before? I haven't? WELL! #Molly #Matthew #StoryofSeasons #shipping #Mollthew

a collection of doodles of Molly (or Muffy) and Matthew (or Marlin) from Story of Seasons: A Wonderful Life. In the top left doodle Molly is busy working at the Bluebird Cafe (or the Blue Bar, as it used to be called and still is called in my heart of hearts), flirting with customers, meanwhile Matthew offers his own snark in response. It earns a righteous glare from Molly, meanwhile Matthew turns his gaze away nonchalantly. In the bottom left doodle, Molly and Matthew are dressed for a pride event. Matthew is wearing a disability pride bandana tucked into his beltloops and a pansexual pride bandana around his neck while a set of sunglasses sit atop his head, and he glares at Molly, who is wearing bisexual pride colors alongside a progress pride unitard and sun-protective accessories. Her eyes are rolled and her hands thrown in the air as we catch her response to an unseen fight between the two, "oh my god I am NOT having this argument again". (this is a reference to the oft-debated difference between bisexuality and pansexuality, and whether bisexuality is inherently transphobic. From Molly's outfit and response, clearly she's used to the argument but is not transphobic.)
Another doodle features the pair drunkenly bantering at the Bluebird Cafe after Molly's shift, and Matthew has forgotten that he's not supposed to have fun while talking to Molly. Lastly, in a simple three-panel doodle comic, Molly hides from a proposed date with one of her latest failed partners, saying "actually I can't, I'm seeing someone NEW". Matthew blushes, surprised, at the implication and whispers "what are you doing" to her, and she whispers back "just pretend to be in love with me and I'll make you curry for a month." This shuts up Matthew's protests to acting as her stand-in boyfriend as he thinks about curry, and Molly cuddles up to him with a smug glare at her ex.

♫⋆｡♪ "Oh what a curse it is to be a lover girl" ♫⋆｡♪ #Molly #StoryofSeasons #Matthew #FunandAims

Molly, one of the bachelorettes from Story of Seasons A Wonderful Life (or Harvest Moon) is dressed in a more y2k aesthetic version of her everyday outfit, with one notable addition: Matthew's (one of the bachelors) shirt, with a noticeable kiss mark by the collar! She's sipping a matcha boba latte with a bright red flip phone held up to her ear, decorated with a green apple, cherry, and Matthew phone charm. She wears all sorts of accessories, including a ring the color of Matthew's eyes, a heart ring, an old charm bracelet with her name on it, and kandi bracelets that read "lover girl" with the bisexual pride flag colors around it. She has a heart-shaped ito bag slung over her shoulder with a couple of mementos tucked in the display pocket: a packet of starfruit seeds likely bought from Vesta's farm, a promo sticker for the Bluebird Cafe where she works, and a ticket stub, likely a souvenir from her first date in the city with Matthew. She's looking up at a silly little window representing Matthew on the phone, who's shirtless and ranting, requesting she come back to return his shirt to him with a blush on his face. She looks unbothered, and sips her drink happily.

One of my roomies is DMing a 2-person campaign for our household, and this is my character! We're doing a cozy low-stakes game, and Percy is the owner of the lounge bar, Sap Sippers. I was trying to go for "artsy sophisticated gnome with a cozy vibe" and accidentally made a leprechaun, oops... ;;;

Percival "Percy" Sorrelson the gnome is drawn next to some songs to get his vibe, and three images to get a sense of his general aesthetic. The songs listed are: "The Summer Wind" by Madeleine Peyroux, "Tardigrade Song" by Cosmo Sheldrake, "Dandelion Wine" by Gregory Alan Isakov, "Detectorists" by Johnny Flynn, "Autumn Leaves" by Joseph Kosma, "The Cascades" by Fleet Foxes, "The A-Train" by Billy Streyhorn, "Dear Wormwood" by The Oh Hellos, Injunction by The Blasting Company, "That Moon Song" by Gregory Alan Isakov, "Bonny at Morn" by The Virginia Company, "Maire Bhan" by Ye Vagabonds, "Shrike" by Hozier, and "Where's My Love" by SYML. The images include a modern, organically-shaped interior designed library with reading and book nooks and cozy lighting, a collection of amber and brown bottles with a glass of brandy being poured, and an old fashioned pocketwatch on a bed of dried leaves and acorns. Percy himself is a gnome, likely around 3 to 4 feet tall, with long ears, a luxurious beard, and a long tail tufted with matching hair at the end. He walks with a cane, the handle of which is whittled to look like a ferret, and he wears a long pointed gnome hat fashioned to look like a witch's hat, with runic symbols embroidered into the underside. He has many piercings, including a nose piercing, and five ear piercings with a purple crystal hanging from his right ear. His outfit is sophisticated yet comfortable, a white linen shirt, a dark grey vest with a tree branch design, a belt with a leaf-shaped buckle, derby-style brown leather shoes, and well-tailored green wool pants with an embroidered bee on the right cuff. A pocketwatch chain hangs from his right beltloop, and a look of casual interest is settled across his freckled, mildly-aged face.

I can't believe in all the years I've made characters, I've NEVER made a vampire oc. Well that changed this last week! Everyone, meet Leila Lottecossovo. She's an actress in Elizabethan-period Italy and I love her already. <3 [ #ocsky #art #vampireoc #vampire #FunandAims ]

The text on this image is a mix of english and italian. The Italian text reads, on the left, "Leila Lottecossovo, Zanni Principale dei Sopravvissuti" with the character's title in english below: "First Zanni of the Sopravvissuti acting troupe". The Italian text to the right reads "non sono una brava persona, ma... vorrei esserlo. Il calore del Sole mi chiama, ma... mi brucia la pelle. Come potro mai sentirmi di nuovo al caldo?" This is a character concept page for Leila, a vampire from Elizabethan Era Italy (or essentially the late 16th century). She wears clothes of that time period that indicate upper middle-class status, with a collection of fine jewelry around her neck and on her fingers, as well as a smart time-appropriate cap with two twin rooster feathers pluming the top. She wears custom outfit pieces that give her the illusion of a ladybird (or ladybug), her favorite creature. She has bright blue eyes, freckles all over her body, long curling dark hair, medium olive-toned skin, and a demure, shy expression. In one sketch, she curls up in her bed by the window and barely touches her finger through a beam of light, causing a small plume of smoke. In another sketch, she wears her Zanni costume, wearing a wild, manic expression with her fangs bared at an audience member who flinches back at the display.

The Magnus Archives has THOROUGHLY infected my brain 'cause now whenever I'm in A Situation this is legit my reaction to it #tma #themagnusarchives

a quickly sketched comic of a regular person looking down an ominous, dark hallway with the text "when I need a glass of water in the middle of the night". It shows a silly doodle of them breathing deeply in through the nose, then switches to a slightly more realistic, more serious style as they say out loud "STATEMENT BEGINS". Their eyes glow green hearkening to the narrator and main character of The Magnus Archives, Jonathan Sims.

Also I can't BELIEVE it's taken me this long to try designing objecthead characters, what a fun way to mess with character design! #objecthead #inkwell #characterdesign #art #FunandAims

a hand-drawn sketch of an object-head character named Professor Ink. It looks like an average slender person wearing a tweed jacket, vest, tie, and button-up shirt under their head, which is an old-fashioned inkwell. Its hands are dark with lightly-colored nails, and it grips a quill while it concentrates, writing something. On its desk next to it is a steaming mug of ink, in lieu of coffee.

Ages ago I designed this object-head adoptable character, but I never posted it anywhere! Should I make an auction somewhere for the lovely doll, Pirouette? #objecthead #adoptable #characterdesign #art #FunandAims

cute hand-drawn art of what looks like a living doll, named Pirouette. Its head is a spool of faded teal thread, the loose bit dangles down like a long single-strand ponytail. It has cartoonish eyes with little eyelashes on bottom, like a Super Mario object, though its style seems to be more along the lines of creepy, cozy, comfy and crafty. It wears a loose ruff, a wide-flaring dress with buttons sewn roughly on the front, and its hands and feet appear to be unmatching wooden beads. It looks like it could be a girl, but since it seems to be a doll, its gender is more likely ambiguous, or nonpresent. Beside it, a collection of inspiration images in the style of a mood board are collected: apothecary bottles on a wooden table, an old-fashioned antique sewing kit, a bowl of wooden beads being stirred by a wooden spoon for ASMR, a wooden hand-cranked automaton puppet, an old and sweet-looking clown marionette puppet, a girl wearing mori style clothing, and buttons.

This was a full illustrated scene that I drew back in 2019 to hint at things that would happen early in Yemreck's story...any guesses as to what's going on? 🤔 #Yemreck #unicorn #ocsky #originalcharacter #storyart #FunandAims

Yemreck, a young-looking, satyr-like unicorn dog runs through town pursued by two burly-looking, angrily-yelling men. The corners of her mouth have fresh blood on them, and she clutches a horn much longer than hers to her chest as she runs, tears flying from her eyes as she sprints.

🤍 Aimee (FunandAims) 🤍@aimeescholz· Jun 22

These were a couple of other characters I was going to include in Yemreck's story: Father Gunnar Gunnarsson, and Vigdis! It's kinda tough looking back on this old art 'cause I can see how many design choices I'd do differently now, but I like the bones I built in there. #ocsky #FunandAims #Yemreck

rough sketches for one of the characters in Yemreck's story, this time Father Gunnar Gunnarsson, leader of Loftstofan church, Iceland, 1134 AD. Yes, it was going to be a fantasy historical fiction.

Sketched designs for Vigdis, brother mother of "Bakborði Ber", which directly translates to Bare Portside. It's a double entendre, since not only is it a place of business right on the port's main street, but their services tailor to one's "bare portside" so to speak. Vigdis is a fully grown adult unicorn dog (unidog), and her dog side is an early norwegian elkhound. As such she sports a fluffy curling tail and delicate feet, and carries a soft, voluptuous body that shows she lives a life of ease.

ooold art from 2018, But this is my original character, Yemreck! I've promised her one day I'll write her story, and I think this year might the year I finally resurrect my old outlines for her story! #ocsky #art #originalcharacters #storyart #FunandAims

Character references for Yemreck (top) and Kimmit (bottom). Both are young unicorns, but one is a unidog (unicorn dog) and the other, a unicat (unicorn cat). Both are physically young, approximately 7-10 years old, but express themselves like older individuals. In their human form, they still maintain animal legs like a satyr, their animalistic ears, and always, their iconic horn. Yemreck is an early mastiff-chow mix with red ochre fur, floppy ears, and a stocky body, whereas Kimmit is an early turkish van, with bright white fur and heterochromia.

some character explorations for Yemreck, nailing down her personality. Text reads:
Yemreck (positives: hard working, determined, loyal, honest.) (negatives: aloof, hard to approach, cynical, judgmental.) Movement: haphazard. Speaking: curt. Expressing: open, active hands. Angry trigger: being backed into a corner, feeling trapped. Expressive trigger: music. Loves animals, observant, likes to sing, wounded heart, craves community but doesn't trust easily.

An early mockup of a front cover for the first book in Yemreck's story, titled "contrecoup". The cover is bordered in icelandic knotwork from a first-century ship, in order to establish when the story takes place. Yemreck, looking both crestfallen but determined, looks down on an old, broken-off unicorn horn in her clawed hands. Rough hand-twisted ropes wrap around her own horn, and seem to lead in many different directions. In the top of the border is what looks like a carving, of a faceless human standing between a unicorn wolf and a unicorn horse. At their lap sits a unicorn cat.

a loose doodle of kimmit looking with amusement at a highly-stylized puffin standing atop Yemreck's head. It looks at her, she looks at it, looking worried that if she moves it might poop in her hair. In this loose sketch it's clear how some of the early developmental sketches show the difference in shape language between Yemreck and Kimmit: one is stocky and "poofy", whereas the other is sleek and contained, with slender cat feet. This is to show that while Yemreck might seem standoffish in her expressions and words, her body language is surprisingly open, showing the truth of her internal world. Kimmit, while maintaining easygoing manners and expressions, however, is closed off and self-contained, like a well-guarded secret.

I was on episode 12 of Sherlock Holmes & Co and had to drop everything to draw this interaction between holmes and watson--it was just so heartwarming! If you haven't listened to the series, highly recommend! It's incredibly charming. @docjwatsonmd.bsky.social #Sherlock&Co #fanart #FunandAims

Sherlock Holmes, reimagined in the universe of Sherlock & Co, is happily ranting about ho much he loves christmas while gesturing wildly. His companion, Dr. John Watson, walks beside him and looks positively chuffed to see his friend so unexpectedly joyful of the holiday, leaving him genuinely charmed by the man as they walk along a busy london street. Later in the conversation, Sherlock's mannerisms stiffen as he asks Watson what's so funny. John, closing his eyes as he tries to stifle a chuckle, is laughing at hearing Sherlock repeat his accusation of "bellend behavior".
The pair are wearing lav mics pinned to their clothes to capture sound for the podcast, and both wear gifts from John's mother: a hand-knitted hat with a poof on top for John, and a pair of earmuffs with the letters "S.H." hand-embroidered on them for Sherlock, to match his usual noise-cancelling headphones. John wears an ROTC hoodie over a button-down shirt, carrying his old army bag with the microphone capture in the side pocket, sturdy trousers, primly cinched with a belt. Sherlock wears his locs in a half-up-half-down hairstyle, a smooth scarf, hand-repaired jeans (likely damaged from previous dangerous adventures) and a jacket-hoodie with the hood strings noticeably removed to reduce overstimulation.

I still get SO giddy when I see your work from this time--and when you draw new art for Neopets with all your new experience under your belt! I wonder if your work's influence can be seen in my own Neopets work, 'cause I know you were a big inspiration for me!

The hand-drawn original Space Faerie blanket design, featuring faerie grundos and a faerie meerca flying over the Neopian globe, past the virtupets space station and Neopia's moon, Kreludor. Mira, the space faerie, drifts calmly through space trailing a streak of atmospheric blue as she looks at a curious Nova, a star-shaped petpet. The illustration is boldly colored but also soothing with its blue and purple hues.

The band poster for Twisted Roses, a fictional goth punk metal band from Neopets. It features a grey shoyru singer, a white ixi guitarist with bold dark makeup, and a skunk-painted zafara with an array of piercings. They are surrounded by dark red roses and thorn-riddled vines.

The two of pentacles card from the official Neopets tarot deck, featuring Sinsi the ixi. She dances in the streets of meridell, juggling two coins featuring designs from her game Shape Shifter: a gauntlet and a dagger. Her pose is reminiscent of the original Rider-Waite-Smith tarot deck's two of pentacles, but has been redrawn to feature the colorful goat/deer-like Neopet.

The seven of pentacles card from the official neopets tarot deck, featuring Team Haunted Woods being rewarded first-place medals for the very first altador cup back in 2006. A beautiful brown peophin dressed in the altador style sits atop a pedestal on a stage and rewards the last team member, captain Krell Vitor, his medal. He bows kneeling and accepts the medal with an attitude of grace and humility. His teammates celebrate in various ways: Chelo Binay the halloween chia and Autrey Fulse the ghost yurble do a typical athlete's celebration of biting their medals to prove they're real, and holding each other close. Fanetti the halloween meerca simply looks out to the crowds with calm pride. Wan Dirx the zombie techo looks down at his medal with relief and pride while his teammate Zo Junior, the fire korbat, perches on his shoulder and raises his medal yelling in victory. In the foreground we see a then-waterboy Crade Talvos, the purple draik, holding his participation medal with a smile of determination. Haunted Woods colored confetti rains from the skies around the coliseum in a mix of orange, black, white and purple as the crowds cheer for the first victors of the worldwide sport.

I forget, did I ever share this doodle of Vira on here? 'cause with the Void Within plot kicking off again it's got me thinking about my favorite drawing I've made of this lil gremlin <3 [ #art #Vira #Neopets #FunandAims #punk #furry #sfw ]

a hand-drawn illustration of Vira, the mutated Acara from Neopets, sitting on a swing in an abandoned fair. She's wearing big stompy boots with hearts on the straps, and the treads of her boots have been modified to look like a heart with a V for Vira on the sole. She wears a ripped-up thigh high on one leg and a stripey sock on the other, cuffed black jean shorts, a green undershirt under a ripped-up dark grey tank, and a big poofy red jacket that matches her eyes. She's also wearing halal nails to make her look like she has claws, and ripped-up fingerless gloves. She sticks her tongue out at the viewer, showing off a tongue piercing, and flips off the viewer as she pulls down her eyelid mocking them. She looks every bit like a punk kid, angry with the world and ready to scrap at any time.

the rough sketch for the previous piece, where you can see the original reference material and structural lines.

#lettering #design #abstractexpressionism

today's "A of the Day" exploring the letter A in different ways. The date is the 5th of May, 2026, and this A is drawn with the left stem bowing inward slightly, and the right stem frays and spills out in a series of rough strokes. The crossbar isn't a single horizontal stroke, but a series of criss-crossing crossbar strokes that seem to make the A look bound together. The apex of the A is solid and squared off, boasting the most structural integrity of the letter. The stems, in comparison, look held together against their will, with one desperately trying to stay grounded but being bound to something that frays out like fibrous pieces pulled by the wind.
