Middle school randomness

Maybe it's because I'm on the spectrum, but in middle school I had so many inside jokes with myself. I was a quiet student but there was a lot of weird stuff going through my head.

Doodling characters as cats

Took Japanese in middle school. Kuruma no shita ni XYZ ga imasu. I ran with it.

I was obsessed with the guy from this video. Bubb Rubb

Yay for over-explaining the joke.

A stray child

This was based off one of my older sister's many angsty selfies while she was in high school. 

I (relatively) recently redid this artwork in 2020 - check it out!

Wanderer

This picture always makes me laugh because I remember someone commenting that the anatomy is flawless. 

Yuna

This was some sort of art request or prize gift art on Deviantart. Honestly, I still really like how this came out. I've never played any of the Final Fantasy games (don't think watching an SNES let's play really counts) but the character designs are super cool, especially the PS2 era titles.

Bonus: Found this in my photo folder. I would have loved to still have the PSD file!

Deep-fried E-Bake

A colored sketch of my OC, Ebak (please google her name). I didn't get around to coloring it until about 1-2 years after it was drawn but my god look at those colors.

Macy and Percy, twin cat maids

Dude. Middle school Mel was SO proud of this one!

I was obsessed with The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya at the time, so that no doubt was an influence. 

I never developed these characters much past this artwork. They are meant to be based off Siamese cats. I think Percy was meant to be an axe crazy yandere. I was just entering my edgy middle schooler era. But that was never expanded further (thankfully)
