Idea Game - Random Generator Edition


Heyo, faeries!!

So, I spent a few hours drawing yesterday and today for you. XD *says in threatening voice*You'd better be happy!!! Or else! Mwhahaha! *is so evil even if no one knows what would happen to them if they weren't happy so no one is really scared, at all*

Have you ever heard of a drawing game called the Idea Game? I learnt about it from this drawing book called Manga Crash Coursesuper helpful book. To play the game, you have three different categories of six items. The first category is personalities and the second one is occupations and the third one is magic/abilities. Then you grab a die and roll it. And the number you get goes for the first category. And the next time you roll, you roll to see what you get in the second category. You roll again for the third category.

I changed mine up a bit. XD My categories were simply: adjectives (sorta personalities too...), occupations, and, last but not least, pets.

And to make it super crazy, I went online to use random generators. I was slightly surprised to find those kind of generators for occupations and adjectives and pets. XD

In case you were wondering what my results were from the generators, I'll give you a list of all of them.

Adjectives
1. Energetic
2. Silent
3. Uppity
4. Bustling
5. Anxious
6. Enchanting

Occupations
1. Zoologist
2. Computer Hardware Engineer
3. Architect
4. Reporter
5. Civil Engineer
6. Surveyor

Pets
1. Moose
2. Panda
3. Chameleon
4. Puppy
5. Llama
6. Eagle Owl (I'm not making this up! There is a kind of owl that is called an eagle owl... It's really just a big owl. XD)


Okie! Now, I will show what I was drawing! .


This was my first one. The words I got from rolling the die were enchanting zoologist with a pet puppy. XD I wasn't really trying hard at all to get the proportions right and didn't think the drawings needed a lot of details. Ahem! I wasn't sure how to make her "enchanting." So long hair and blush and a cute glow around her work! XD I was thinking of Animal Crossing when I colored the pink glow.

See? Happy pink glow!!! XD


The second rolling of the die I got silent computer hardware engineer with a pet moose. XD I had no idea what a computer hardware engineer looked like. I made him hold a laptop for the computer part and gave him a wrench thing in his back pocket for the hardware engineer part. C: XDDD 

Heh, my moose. He looks a little reindeer-ish. I think I was thinking of Sven... :P

Oh! And my little nerdy engineer is supposed to be shushing someone. Maybe his moose.


This is a bustling surveyor with a pet eagle owl. I didn't feel like drawing a land surveyor because that sounds a little boring... So I did a survey surveyor! XD I wanted him to look like he was in a rush so I made him walking and holding his clipboard and pencil in one hand and Starbucks coffee in another. :) Why do I feel like he just spotted his next victim to take his survey? XDDD 

His owl was supposed to be bigger. But... that didn't happen. XD


I drew a uppity architect with a pet panda. Hmm, not sure if she really that uppity looking but whatever! I'm happy with it! XDD I figured all architects wear suits, right? :P And pouty lips is a little uppity, no? And architects totally carry their plans with everywhere. *nods seriously* Mhm, I know my snuff. XD 

*talks in baby talk* Do you like me pandaaaaaaaaa? It's su coot, yesssssss? XD I think its my favorite pet I drew. :D 

- - -
So! That was my drawings from the Idea Game - Random Generator Edition. Whatcha think? I feel like this game would be helpful if you just felt like drawing but don't know what. :) You can play this game with friends or just by yourself. :)

I know I had lots of fun and will definitely do this random generator thing again. XD

- - -

And just to let y'all know! I replied to all the comments I said I was going to this week! Yay! Aren't you happy? :D XD :P

What kinds of drawing games have you played?

One Lovely Blog Award and Other Random Stuff

Howdy! *wink wink* Did you catch that reference to Undertale? XD

I'm so unprepared for this post today. DX Usually I have the post almost done by Saturday or at least try to be and have a clear idea about what I want to post... But not today! XD

Today is going to be full of random stuff. :P

I was thinking I had one or two tags I still needed to do. So I'll do one today. :)

I got tagged by Lostfairy for a tag called One Lovely Blog Award. :D She tagged two months short of a year ago. Oops. Sorry, Lost!!! D: So all you have to do for the tag is say seven facts about yourself. It's pretty simple.

Let's a go! *groans* I'm so full of references today.


  1. I don't like making cards. Yes, I'm a crafty kind of person. But making cards is not my strong suit. The math of measuring the right amount of card paper is a little confusing sometimes. XD But card making has been growing on me recently. So maybe one day, I'll have lots of fun making them. :P
  2. I only seriously started drawing a year ago. What I mean by seriously drawing is I actually wanted to learn more about art and techniques. Anytime earlier than a year ago I'd just say "Pffft, why would I want to know that?" if anyone tried to teach me anything about art. But now I just want to keep getting better and better and learn more and more.
  3. My family is my best friends. We all get along together so well. I love hanging out with them so much. Whenever we're together fun and laughter are always present. :D 
  4. Last summer I kept a detailed journal of everything I did. Heh, I don't really journal now. :P But right at the beginning of summer, I wrote in my journal almost every day. At the mid point to end point of the summer I didn't do nearly as much. XD And now I don't really do it at all. XD
  5. I laugh at everything. Seriously. My sis, Lost, she can say anything. And I will laugh at it. XD I don't know why I laugh so much, but it's fun. XDDD 
  6. You say three to five and I say five to three. Yup. For some random reason when I say numbers out loud like that I usually say the bigger number first. I don't know why, but that's just how I think. :P
  7. I could drink one hot chocolate a day and be happy. Okay, correction, I don't think I'd be happy to drink hot chocolate once a day in summer. XD I loooooovvve hot chocolate. It's so yummy and rich and warm. I love all kinds of hot chocolate; mint, white, mocha, french vanilla, pretty much any kind of hot chocolate. 
I know I'm supposed to tag other people, but I'm don't know who hasn't done it yet. So anyone who feels like doing this tag can!

- - -

Last week I told you faeries what I was working on. And now I'm done it and I feel like showing you!


It wasn't supposed to be at the beginning, but it turned out to look like Lostfairy a little bit. She doesn't have hair in that style, but the jacket and mittens and sweats look like hers. XD 

This is my first time doing lighting like that on the girl. And I had fun! :D It was easier than I thought it would be. I just had to color the turquoise bit on the girl first before I colored the rest. :3 

Here's the next drawing I'm working on.


*squeals* Doesn't he look positively evil and adorable?! XD That's what I wanted him to look like anyway. CX 


I made this online this week. :D I was thinking of a Peter Pan quote when I wrote this. ;) It didn't turn out like I was thinking it would. But I think I'm pretty happy with the result. 

- - -
I'm not sure if you know this about me yet, I like to bake a little. I can't say I'm very good. I am still such a newbie when it comes to baking. 

Anyway, I made cake pops/cake balls yesterday. I did the slash because they weren't really cake pops... Because I didn't feel like putting them on sticks. XD So they are cake balls. 

Oh goodness, in the picture they look gross. Sorry for the bad quality pic!!!  
It's a salted caramel mocha chocolate cake ball. 

I kinda made my own recipe with these... XD Like I did use recipes, but I put the recipes together.  I used a simple chocolate cake recipe for it. And a mocha frosting recipe. And a easy caramel sauce recipe. And then my mom had some chocolate sea salt to sprinkle on it. 

I think they tasted pretty good. But it was probably because Tracey, my older sis helped me make the frosting and my Mom helped me make the caramel sauce. XD

- - -

I'm really sorry for not replying to your comments in the past few weeks. I will try my best to catch up on comments next week! 

What have you been doing last week? Do you like cake pops?

Art from Christmas

Hey faeries!!!

Whew. This week has been, well, school-filled. It's weird to think that just last week I wasn't doing school and now I am. D: The only good thing that I can think of about school is one of the projects I have to do. And it involves drawing!* Yay! I get to draw a scene of some people from the fourteenth century. I'm thinking of drawing some cute little chibi people in fancy old fashioned outfits in a castle courtyard or something. :D I'll show you guys when I'm done it! 

*I don't have an art class in my school (aka. my home XD) so this is super cool for me! XD

- - -   

Remember when I said I was working on some art but I couldn't show you it because I was going to give it to my siblings for Christmas?

Well, Christmas is definitely past now. So I think it's safe for me to show you. ;) XD


Often when I draw for my family members I try to draw something from a movie or TV show or some other fandom that they really like. But for my Mom and Dad, it's kinda super hard to think of something like that. But this year, I asked my parents if it was okay if I drew them something random. (No, I didn't spoil their Christmas gift! The whole family knew I was drawing pictures for them for gifts. They just didn't know what I was drawing. XD) So my gift for them was just a random girl I came up with from the top of my head. ^.^ 

I didn't look at any reference base pictures for this drawing, so the proportions might be a little off. XD But it was sooooo nice making the girl's sweater have long sleeves so I didn't have to draw hands!!!!! I went a little willy-nilly with her hair, but I think it turned out okay. XD 



I drew this picture for my older sister, Tracey. It's from an amazing story called The Brightest Thread she wrote and wants to get published! :O It's a Sleeping Beauty retelling. 

I used no base for this... And I should have! DX I made the guy's neck and head waaaaaay too small. *cries forever* And the girl's head looks little... wonky. XD

Yeah, I like it for the most part. But I keep seeing all the mistakes. 


I drew this for my bro, Josiah. He likes these three YouTubers. From left to right, Jacksepticeye, DanTDM, and Markiplier. 

In case you don't know what they look like, I made a handy-dandy collage of them. 


The pictures of these guys are some of the ones I looked at while drawing. XD

I'm pretty sure those guys are goofy. Not for sure, I've only watched one video of Markiplier and none of Jacksepticeye. But I have watched tons of DanTDM so I know he's silly! XDD And I wanted to draw them all doing some kind of silly-ish pose. 

The drawing is one of my favorites I drew for my family this Christmas. ^.^

Credit to Lostfairy for taking a picture of my drawing. XD
It's Link! I love The Legend of Zelda so much!!!! Link is my video game crush... XDD 

I drew this picture for my sister, Lostfairy. <3 She loves The Legend of Zelda video games a lot, like me. :P And one of her favorite games is The Skyward Sword. So I drew Link wearing the outfit he wears in that game. But his hair is a tad on the greenish side in that game, so I changed it to be more yellowy blond like from Breath of the Wild. :P 


Here's a picture of Link from The Skyward Sword. :) 

In case you wanted to know, I used a reference base for my drawing.


It's a pretty simple base, but I still had a hard time with the hands. XD (Though, I think the Link drawing is again one of my favorite drawings I did for Christmas.)



I drew this for a good friend of mine for Christmas. :3 She really likes this TV show called Avatar: the Last Airbender. And I love it, too! XD And one of her favorite characters is a firebender named Zuko. <3 


Here's picture of him. XD Zuko's such a grumpy guy, but I love him. XDDD

- - -

I don't know if you guys want to know, but here's something I'm working on at the moment. :D


I still have to add the light spots and stuff to her eyes and then I'll color it. C: 

I felt like drawing her in a parka because it's still really cold outside and I don't do a lot of winter pictures, in general. And for some random reason I wanted to draw a magical tornado. XDDD I don't know why I felt like drawing that. :P 

- - -

Welp, I think this post is done for today! XD I hope you guys enjoyed! And have an amazing weekend!!! :D

What's your favorite video game or TV show?

Tales of the Month


Wow! I can't believe it's time for another Tales of the Month blog post. :o I haven't read a whole lot of books last month that I feel like talking about, so sorry if this post is a tad on the short side. 

A World Without Heroes by Brandon Mull


You know what's funny? I read this book January of 2017 and I reread it again in December because I wanted to read the rest of the series. And I didn't remember a single thing about the book! XDD So it was almost like a new book for me. :P 

The book is about: Two kids who travel to another world, Lyrian. And at first all they want to do is get home, but that slowly changes when they realize how desperate the people of Lyrian are for a hero. An evil wizard named Maldor is in control of Lyrian and he is manipulative and a big fat meanie. No, he's not actually fat. He's just really mean. XD

I like the fantasy world in the book. The author definitely knows how to make up creative creatures and people. :D And I like the main character's quick thinking. XD   


The Story Thieves by James Riley


This book is awesome!!! The main characters are the cutest. ^.^

The book is about: Owen, a boy who is very bored with his life. And all he wants to do is read his favorite series about Kiel Gnomenfoot. And one day Owen finds out that one of his classmates is half-fictional. Which means that she can travel in and out of books! :O And so Owen convinces the half-fictional girl named Bethany to take him into his favorite book. And crazy adventures ensue after that. XD

I love this book so much. I hope my library gets the other four books in the series soon! If they don't, I'm going to have to sue them until they do!!! Wahaha!!! I'm so evil!!!!! Not.  XD The Story Thieves is hilarious, I was almost laughing on every page. :P

Everland by Wendy Spindale


Yesh, I know I mentioned this book before, but I had to mention it again because it's so good. XD And it's Peter Pan!!! XD 

If you want to read a more detailed review of  what I think of Everland click here!  

Nicholas St. North and the Battle of the Nightmare King by William Joyce and Laura Geringer (Could this title get any longer? XD)


I have so many fond memories of my dad reading some books in this series to me and my sister and my mom. ^.^ This book feels a bit like a classic to me. And the beautifully drawn pictures just add to that feeling. 

The book is about: The book is about a magical village called Santoff Claussen, where anything is possible if you believe. Nicholas St. North (you would sooner know him as Santa Claus) comes to the village and meets the wizard that lives there and befriends a young orphan. And many adventures are had as they try to stop the Nightmare King and his Fearlings.  

You probably have heard of the movie Rise of the Guardians, right? This series is connected to that movie! Seriously! The author, William Joyce, is the director of the movie. XD But this series takes place long before the Rise of the Guradians, which is pretty cool because you get to learn the backstories of some characters. :D
- - -

Well, I hope you guys enjoyed seeing what I have read in the past month! 

Can someone please make winter break longer? DX

What were your favorite books you read last month?

Here's to New Adventures


Happy New Year!!! That's right! I'm posting for the second time it two weeks on a MONDAY. XD I just felt like I needed to post something today. In case you can't read what it says on the picture, it reads "To live will be an awfully big adventure. -Peter Pan."

- - -

Life's full of adventures. Sure, maybe they aren't all fighting monsters or learning that you're a wizard or going through a magical wardrobe, but their still adventures. 

Do you remember that compliment someone gave you that made your day?

Or that time when the sun was shining and you felt like it was shining just for you?

Do you remember laughing so hard you were crying? 

Or that time you tried something you've never done before and you weren't sure it would work, but it did?

Or that time when someone you loved left you?

Do you remember that time when you found the One who loves you more than you could ever imagine? 

Sometimes adventures are just small moments in life. Sometimes they're life changing ones. Whatever they are, they are still adventures. 

Life is a story waiting to be told. Live out the dreams and wishes you have. Don't be afraid to try new things. Even if you may fail, get back up again. 

Something I've told myself a lot this past year is "enjoy every minute of every day." I'm not saying that there isn't hard stuff in life, I'm just saying look to the One who holds your heart. (That's something I really need to work on.) He can fix anything that is broken.  

Life is so much better if you give it your all and try new things and learn to laugh more.

"To live will be an awfully big adventure." -Peter Pan
