Hey, everybody, just quick disclaimer. I'm not gonna be able to get a short up tomorrow, because I have been struggling the past few days and just don't have the energy to get something done.

I hope you all have a great day, regardless!

Hey everybody, I hope you're having a great Friday!

Drew a little funny comic for my oldest characters: the Wyneken Siblings, aka the Curse Collectors. They are four siblings from a cursed family line, who run in the family business of finding, collecting, and containing magical items. 

A little background on each character:

* JJ Wyneken - Oldest and leader. He's a perfectionist that tries his best to be taken seriously. However, he's very easily annoyed and has a penchant for sarcasm, and can sometimes forget to be a kid. Has a cutlass that controls lightning
* Jenna Wyneken - JJ's twin sister. A reckless thrill-seeker that is always trying to do something fun or make some extra cash. Tries her best to distinguish herself from JJ and his golden boy status. Has a whip made of fire
* Kaya Wyneken (NOT PICTURED)- The resident nerd who often locks herself away inside the study. She's determined and dangerously curious, but also relies entirely on caffeine to function. Has a wand that can control plants.
* Jeremiah Wyneken - Kaya's twin and the youngest. Optimistic and empathetic, but also incredibly gullible and easily tricked. Jenna often ropes him into her schemes as her muscle. Has a moonstone pendant that turns him into a werewolf

Hoping to make more of these when I have the time, as these characters are very dear to my heart.

Have a great day everybody!

Hey everybody, hope you enjoyed that short!

This short is pretty early in Olive's journey as a hero, if you couldn't tell by the fact she's still using her homemade suit made from an old hoodie and a witch costume from Party City.

Although Olive and Howie are on friendlier terms now, Olive held a bit of a grudge against Howie early on. I mean, when a giant werewolf trashes your school and tries to kill you, you don't exactly trust them afterwards. Luckily, Howie's soft (and kinda pathetic) nature brought down Olive's walls long enough for her to form a genuine bond with him, and made her realize that he doesn't mean any harm. Well, at least when HE'S in control...

Hope you all have a great day!

This short was a bit more of Evangeline's interview with Hugo that was shown in a previous short, where Hugo decides to have a little bit of "fun" to showcase why other criminals can be terrified of him.

Hugo Specter is known by many names. Some of them, such as the Chain-less Phantom, the Houseless Haunt, and the Ghost of GoldClaw, definitely evoke a sort of spectral spookiness. Even amongst the strange denizens of GoldClaw, he has a reputation for being unsettling and otherworldly, with his pure white cloak fluttering in the breeze and his propensity to evade death no matter what is thrown his way. Tie that into his Vessel gift, which is the ability to control of bones, and maybe spooky is a bit of an understatement.

Anyways, hope you all have a great day!

Garnet stormed off after that to spend some time by herself. She tried to pretend nothing ever happened next time she saw Finn, but Finn wouldn't let her forget it. It was her snapping her ax handle in half with her bare hands that made him decide maybe teasing her wasn't the best course of action.

Oh, btw, the big guy in the picture is Jack. He's a giant, if you couldn't tell, and is kind of a friend to Garnet (or at least, he tries to be. Garnet often brushes him off because she prefers to be a lone wolf)

Have a great day everybody!

Since Tony came from the 50s, he can definitely start to say some things that... may not be exactly conducive with the attitudes of today. However, he is learning!

Tony later made it up to Zoe on their next date-I mean kidnapping with some flowers.

Hope you have a great day ya'll!

Hey everybody, hope you enjoyed the short today!

A little flashback to when Byron was on the job, and he had to deal with a spelunker that got stuck in a place Byron couldn't reach. I think it was called Lloyd's Coffin or something like that? Byron isn't really the best at shifting his physical form, so he eventually had to get Void's help to squeeze in there and get the soul out.

This is probably one of Byron's more humorous stories from on the job, and is one that Void has told Jillian multiple times (mostly to boast about how his big brother depends on him). It goes to show that even if violent deaths are often depressing, sometimes there's humor to be had in all the dumb ways people can meet gruesome ends.

Anyways, hope you all have a great day!

Ricochet thought that maybe some friendly competition between the alters would be good for them, so she tried to put on a game night. It went downhill fast. Abel crashed out hard (he hates random chance), Dallas kept trying to cheat in any way he could, and Barnaby somehow took home the win even though nobody could decide what game they were even playing. Barnaby just has that kind of natural luck in card games.

But hey, at least they didn't play Monopoly. THAT would've been a blood bath.

Hope you all have a great day!

Hey everybody, hope you enjoyed the short!

First, a little health update. I finally had surgery on my toe and currently recovering from that. I got the procedure that makes it so it will never get ingrown again, which is amazing, even if I was chewed out by my mom for letting it get so bad (Love you ma).

But onto the actual short. Olive sometimes encounters civilians during her time as Void, who either scream and yell in fear, ask her questions, or geek out about her. When they actually turn out to be friendly, Olive feels like it would be rude to bail without saying anything, even if the thought of having to talk to civilians is scarier than fighting Dusks. When they aren't friendly, she usually just pulls the disappearing act without engaging. However, anytime Eulalie specifically tries to "interview" her, Olive has to resist the urge to send her into the stratosphere, as that would be bad for her public image. She settles on just destroying her camera and disappearing.

Anyways, hope you have a great day!
