white male, he/they and autistic canadian A goofy muchacho who likes art n stuff
![So, long time no see, huh? Where do I even start?
The original sketch for this dates all the way back to april of last year, it wasn't made for the anniversary but after drawing it I figured it would come in handy, it did since by the time may 24 came I started working on it in Krita, thinking I would finish the 25th (I thought it was the day of the anniversary) and I made the lineart, colored almost everyone with shadows and lighting but Murphy and Calvin etc... It was like roughtly 90% done when the 27th (which would already have been one day late) when uhh, "stuff" happened and had to stop working on it... For several months... I would get into it, but it's too personal, and I would be here all day, long story short: I lost my tablet, and the capacity to draw for a time. By the time I was able to go back to working on it... I really didn't felt like it at all, I preferred making new art again, but for the longest time I just kept making sketches on paper, without practicing on Krita nor finishing and coloring anything there.
The last few months I tried drawing on Krita again and sucessfully got back into it, it felt better than never before, specially than when I did it with mouse, and I regained the drive to work on it again, and decided I would just finish both 5th and 6th anniversary pieces after their respective dates and actually do the 7th one it time. After a whole year I didn't just shaded Murphy and Calvin which basically that's what was left this whole time, but took the time to tweak it a little to the point I liked it again, without straying away from the original vision nor redoing work that was already for the most part. All I can say it's that it just inspires me to keep drawing like this, hopefully finish the 6th and 7th anniversary pieces as I intend and keep drawing, including lots of M&M.
(I'm also aware that [bunny]'s ear being over Zoe's like that is ugly, Mitzi's ear etc, but just keep in mind, this thing is tecnically a year old)](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:6jjzbcflodkhd74mmez4br2k/bafkreigbozeejq3t6ijp4d3efp5yizbehg76vmerpzdnmmva5vt7pzq7se)
![This was an idea I had for either ArtTober and the dreaded 6th Anniversary piece but it kind of murphed (pun intended) into it's own thing. At the very least I'll draw "The main 5" so don't expect much really. I'm just testing the waters at making new art consistently and steadily, so I'll see along the way if I end up drawing more but it's nothing seriously established, but as I said it's something to see how far I can get with drawing frequency, while also trying something new and keep finding my way of drawing the cast.
I'm happy with how Zoe turned out, as much as I do prefer how the other to look, but tbh that def has to do with me frankly liking them more... Can't wait to draw [bunny] and Vivian though!
Oh and yes I think I'm calling this the awesome series, I really couldn't come up with a name and needed to post I'm sorry if it sounds ridiculous instead of awesome, hope you find the art awesome though!](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:6jjzbcflodkhd74mmez4br2k/bafkreifplf7fwlv2vognqf53xeqcv7rvhgnijgmumj4zhy3pc7lczgrbpq)
![I love how she came out, and trust me she wouldn't have looked nowhere close as nice lol.
I don't have much else to say really, other than I'm unsure on the "shchedule" these will be posted now and how much I'll even continue, I said "until I'm tired of it" and while I'm not (yet) I feel in the long run and the time I'm posting them I may, considering that tbh my fav characters are the main ones... I don't know how motivated I will
I also wanna do other art (both M&M related and not) and I thought I would do these and post one week each but turns out I missed this last week, I hope M&M being posted toghether compensates for that but it wasn't DePoint, Me being able to draw both in the same week made me think I would be able to draw 2 characters a week so I could post 1 a week and be "one step ahead", but I end up posting Zoe as soon as I finished her and I should have posted [bunny] a week ago...
Oh and AJ if you're reading this the new poodle character it's awesome.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:6jjzbcflodkhd74mmez4br2k/bafkreighhoq6o7vzz7ta3ht24t6tpygyjkbbnqovttxxrz66tehx7bds7i)
![In a way I think this is the best one so far, I was very excited to draw her, it was actually very hard, almost as much as [bunny], but just like that time it again, was completely worth it.
I also wanna point out that the rest of the characters in the series won't have a "priority order" in the sense I'm not drawing them in order of "importance", and that while I'm drawing a few it'll probably won't be everyone. I'll try to give if appropiate accesories to some who stand out or who don't but would benefit from it. In this case Marcie must have had her brush (worryingly enough that was a last minute addition somehow) just like Murphy his skateboard (even if he would have been fine without it), and Doe Remi even more so her guitar, but then Zoe didn't needed a graffiti can but I have it to her anyway, just like I could give for example a gameboy to Calvin. And stuff like the freckles I gave her, Vivian and Mitzi, are little stuff that will be distintive for these designs.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:6jjzbcflodkhd74mmez4br2k/bafkreih26krw3hxuqsyx34zpyvl3s2yin2zz35omekofztokk4gptaqlje)
