Welcome to the year of 2025! I made a bit of a sudden entrance with my personal Power-Up-Tober challenge, so I’d like to make a quick update;

Starting this year, I’ll be drawing and posting my original characters. There will still be fan-art, just to be clear, but I’d like to also provide my own creations unto the world.

Hoping for the best in the Year of the Snake! 🐍

I’ve successfully done my part for the annual drawing challenge; All 31 prompts done and dusted!

I’ll be taking it easy for the next few days, slowing down so that I don’t overwhelm myself with tons of work.

Happy Halloween, everyone!

For October, I’ll be using my own custom Drawtober prompt list--Power-Up-Tober! Simply put, it’s game-themed; about providing power-ups to various characters, especially to ones that normally don’t get to use them.

The theme for this year’s Power-Up-Tober will be Kirby’s Return to Dreamland Deluxe--turns out that there’s exactly 31 copy abilties, if you include the Super Abilities as well!

For those who’d want to participate, here’s the list:

• 1 — Sword
• 2 — Cutter
• 3 — Fire
• 4 — Leaf
• 5 — Needle
• 6 — Beam
• 7 — Spark
• 8 — Festival
• 9 — Whip
• 10 — Sand
• 11 — Parasol
• 12 — Hammer
• 13 — Sleep
• 14 — Water
• 15 — Stone
• 16 — Tornado
• 17 — Hi-Jump
• 18 — Bomb
• 19 — Ice
• 20 — Mecha
• 21 — Spear
• 22 — Crash
• 23 — Fighter
• 24 — Mike
• 25 — Ninja
• 26 — Wing
• 27 — Flare Beam
• 28 — Grand Hammer
• 29 — Monster Flame
• 30 — Snow Bowl
• 31 — Ultra Sword

For my personal take on the challenge, I’ll aim to avoid any direct series repeats; If I pull out a Spyro character, no other Spyro characters will be included in my list. REMEMBER: This is not an actual rule for Power-Up-Tober, just a self-imposed challenge.

Hope to see you all on the other side!
