I will also share a sketch of Kortax from the past. Here he is relaxing, possibly basking in the sun. During my work, I came to the idea that I should create a small 3D model of the horns to better understand how to draw them from different angles. This is quite a complex element to perceive, and I need some kind of reference.

In this image, Kortax and Aku are depicted in their human, younger versions. I would temporarily classify them in a "school" universe, where they look quite fitting. I like to think of it as an old photograph from some kind of sanatorium.

Speaking of the image, I would note that it was experimental, as I am still searching for suitable brushes for the new program. I found a relatively good brush for lines, but not for painting — I need a more painterly option. The drawing turned out to be quite lazy, but if you don’t look too closely, it looks decent. I see problems in it, but I'm not eager to fix them. On the positive side, I would highlight the interesting marine motif: the fish on Kortax's t-shirt reflects his positive attitude, while the sea creature on Aku's shirt seems ready to overeat all those little fish. Additionally, the interpretation of the tree that Aku represents in the original universe — a birch — turned out well. I think those pigment spots suit him.

While drawing, I was chatting with my friend and we discussed alternative names for these characters. Based on our conversation, we came up with some rough options: Kortax could be called Curtis, and Aku — Albert

However, my work is already finished. I drew it back on Friday, but for various reasons, I'm publishing it now. It's also worth noting that I used Krita as my artistic tool this time. I haven't done that in about five years. I like the internal painting brushes, but I still feel a lack of variety in other types. The search for new tools to work with in this program is more challenging compared to CSP.

Let's get back to the work. Here, Drudox is depicted in various variations.

⋇ 1. Other Alignment Here, Drudox is portrayed in a lawfully evil variant. I position his original version as chaotically neutral. I believe that his alignment significantly influenced the course of events. In this variant, he might have gone into seclusion and talked to the moon.

⋇ 2. Role Reversal This is quite a heavy question. Although I noted that I swapped his roles with Daniel, I'm still not sure about it. This drawing doesn't carry much lore from any specific universe of "Ordinary Bushes Adventures," so I can't say much about it other than that Drudox looks quite remarkable here.

⋇ 3. Alternative Setting Recently, I was pondering how characters from the original universe might look in an underwater setting and quickly came up with this appearance for them. In popular culture, similar creatures resembling squids are often considered negative; a prominent example would be "The Little Mermaid." However, I don't think Drudox could be considered a negative character.

⋇ 4. Part of Subculture While selecting a subculture, Marey and I stumbled upon farming as one of them. It was the most obvious choice. It didn't change anything fundamentally: Drudox remained a farmer as he always was. Maybe I should have depicted him in some other form, but I couldn't decide which one and chose the path of least resistance.

⋇ 5. Alternative Races In the initial scenarios of events, Drudox could have changed his race to a diabolo — quite a long and convoluted story. I decided it wasn't suitable. Nevertheless, I had some developments left over, based on which I depicted him here.

⋇ 6. At the End of the Journey Initially, I wanted to joke and depict a pile of ashes, but that would look cruel. I don't think he truly deserves such an end, so I decided to portray him large and content — you know, like when people wish happiness, health, and prosperity during holidays. Did you catch that?

I think this is my last calendar page. Other people got the rest of the pages. I'll show you the full calendar when it's completely finished.

P.S. The calendar is 67% finished (8/12)

night sketches

Dars is skating

Drudox just woke up from a winter sleep.

My friends and I decided to draw a calendar based on our dnd campaign, everyone is trying our best. We'll be done soon. At the end, I'll print this out and use it instead of the boring calendar.

It's funny.

I drew a character in this dress a couple of years ago. I did it again

Forgavid smiles in the background. I drew this picture before I started running the campaign. At that time, I still didn't think that anyone would like this character.

Drudox’s token for playing dnd

A small meme with Liya. A funny reminder of how well it knows how to go into hiding.

I drew this picture yesterday during a party. It shows Drudox cheering Banjo on because the innkeeper didn't like it and it had no one to play cards with

Emily, when it became a Forgavid Paladin

It has been walking for a long time to become what it is now. It was trained by one of Forgavid's followers

Young and old Drudox

I tried to describe what changes in its design have occurred over time

Drudox with a... golden berry

Girl with a Pearl Earring

Drudox spreads its wing

A small comic about how Drudox caught a butterfly I drew it at night in paint

even more pictures!

Forgavid = Sunflower

A few paintings. Some of them are funny, some are ordinary. There are a lot of old works here. I still love it

there are even drawings that I drew on the playing field during the dnd, when I myself was in the role of a player, heheh

Mrs. Lieberfrost

My players think she's weird. They're a little right, huh

My friend showed me a light summer dress. I decided to draw a Drudox who is wearing it. It turned out pretty nice

I imagine that Drudox is out on a picnic somewhere. I haven't had the opportunity to draw it with purple leaves for a long time, because the color of the leaves depends on the time of year

I'm happy with the picture, it’s funny

The most cheerful woman. I like their dynamic with Liya. They're both funny enough. I can't wait to tell my players about her background

The Unknown

A bunch of memes. We watched cartoons and drew with friends. It turned out a lot of funny pictures
