So, when playing a DND oneshot, my best friend decided to play a goose named Delores who is an OSHA inspector. And I will say, Delores is very good at her job. So good in fact that she has shown up in the background of our other campaigns, and may have ascended to heaven. Anywho, that was to answer your question about how geese would work in infrastructure. Also, the raccoon girls may be my favorite thing ever.

I love them. Though I just gotta say, Neil the seal looks like if Steve Harvey was an animorph.

You cannot convince me that the cat and the horse wouldn't make a good couple. I can imagine the horse holding up an umbrella (or a shield) to protect the cat from the rain, and then the cat being super sassy about it, but actually being thankful.

Each of these characters need their own full comic book. They are so fun♥️

If I had to name the racoon girls it would be Rocky & Roxy.

In MY personal headcanon, i believe that all of these characters live in the same world because there's no way that all the witches, gods, knights, pirates, and mermaids don't live in the same world, js at different times ALL OF THEM live in the same world...excluding the Spidersonas ig but oh well I js rlly want a world with all of them 😭like if the knights have an ongoing fight with the pirates/witches

2:16 WAIT... Rodney is my cat!!! I'm so happy! Some Rodney (full name Meredith Rodney McCat :) lore - we have a tally on the fridge of all the critters he brings in (both alive and dead) with a blank tally for "solar system". I guess it's time to update that tally ;)

I like how you made the mermaid Koi chubby. I like seeing non-convention bodied mermaids and that build seems quite fitting for a carp-based mermaid.

I think it would be cool collab idea to take the same images and see how each artists interprets them.

I like to imagine that maybe the teen slasher characters are running through the woods and then… uh oh, Cassidy’s butt skirt thing gets caught on a tree stump and rips, and then she’s really upset about it and Claude is just like, ughhhh, all you popular kids are the same, you only care about your clothes and how you look, ughhh… but thennnnnn, Cassidy is all like, what no, this was my mom’s wedding vale, it’s the only thing I have left of her… and then Claude is very caught off guard and like, okayyyyyy, I guesssssss your not as terribly shallow as I thought you were, and then later on, she puts cute little bandaids on a cut he gets, and before she knows he’s with the other slasher, she tries to defend him against the slasher dude when he finds them and she’s really hurt when she finds out he’s in on it, but in the end when Claude dies, shes super sad and promises to give him a good funeral, you know, like Final Girls type style a bit (the 2016 movie) ………………………………………………………………… yes I’m crazy, good night.

I’m a simple man, I see Kira post a vid I click.

I have ideas for Cassidy and Claude. Firstly, the ringleader for the whole "murder the cruel popular kids" plot is a guy who's fairly popular himself, but nowhere near the likes of the others. Claude hears the plan and the leader(camren) figures he wont say anything, and hey maybe he'll join them to get some vengeance. Those kids are the ones who started the rumors about him being in a gang and beating people bloody. And it'd be a perfect scapegoat for him. Cassidy wasn't supposed to go to that house party but was pressured by her friend Amy to go. She's not as high on the totem pole as they are but everyone in their year does know her name. Camren and the others are fine with not killing Cassidy. she's on the outer circles on popularity like them. Plus camren hopes that after hearing the others have died, she'll go to him for comfort(again he doesn't know she's going to that house party). Claude shows up to the house party, unsure what he's doing or who he'd warn. The police wouldn't believe him, they already think he's in a biker gang. His peers won't believe him, they'd accuse him of being that killer. And a small part of him wants to cash in the "beating a guys face to a pulp" allegations but that's all. Claude brings a flashlight and knife just in case camren was joking. Cassidy has no plans of running into camrens arms, especially after seeing him stab Amy. One of the other killers sees a flash of white and red run into the woods away from the bloodbath and knows they have a witness to kill. Claude sauntered into the woods after hearing the first screams, too late to protect any of those fuckers anyway. But then this tiny girl barrels into him and drags him further from the house, repeating how they have to get away right now before they find them. Cassidy doesn't know who this dude in the dark coat is but she knows she has to get to the police. After 10 minutes of sprinting she asks his name, and it's the quiet dude from her English class. She hadn't even thought he might be in on the plan until she sees how easily he uses the knife to cut vines out of their way. At some point in their bonding, Claude gives Cassidy the knife, as a promise he won't kill her and starting her journey to final girl-dom. I dunno what else but I had some ideas to share. And I think they'd talk about breakfast to lighten the mood. They agree that hash browns are best crispy and shredded and disagree about pancakes(Cassidy) vs. waffles(Claude)

3:43 Athena and Odin having a chat

Slasher Cats sounds like an awesome movie!

I love the dog and the koi fish and the raccoons! The dog and koi drawing makes me think it's a fusion of Spirited Away and Ponyo/Little Mermaid, and I love it! And I definitely see the raccoon twins to have personalities similar to Azula and Ty Lee, since I'm also an Avatar fan!

This thumbnail captures the chaotic, lowkey uncanny Valley that is the pinterest algorithm. AND I AM HERE FOR IT

hearing the aristocats geese theme filled me with an insurmountable level of joy

the slasher cats and racoon girls were my favorites, so much details and such cool stories.

Pls turn wierdcore/dreamcore imiges into characters like the liminal pools or those mc playground thingies or those pink nostalgic kid rooms:3

"What in the Lisa Frank is THIS?!" Underrated comment of the year

I love sweet popular girl trope. Like sometimes people are super popular because they’re super nice and friendly (usually they are also really pretty which helps). Like the sister in Lisa Frankenstein is so fun and adds more dimension to the story than if she was just a jerk.

Some background on Neil - He isn’t a full grown adult yet. From what I know he’s a young adult, since he’s not fully grown yet he can’t get near the mating grounds since the big guys don’t take kindly to anyone. Seals his age don’t stand a chance fighting the fully grown males. These seals spend most of their life in the water so they only come on land to make and raise pups. Neil still has the instinct to go on land so the safest place to be is away from the beaches all the big seals are on. So he basically just goes into the human town. Neil and seals like him are giant. As of now he’s about the size of a human adult but one day he’s going to be almost the size of a car. He’s a wild animal and is dangerous. Tourists and some dumb people sometimes mess with him which could lead to him being put down for public safety reasons. This has happened before, in Australia there was once a young female walrus that was hanging around a much more populated area. Same deal of it going viral and people loving it. To many people got close or touched her and in the end the local government had out her down. Neil is in a less populated area so he hasn’t been bothered as much.

I’m so glad you liked my dogoose picture

I was not prepared to ship the two cats (claude and Cassidy) so dramatically. It’s giving social rivals troupe , secrets and betrayal, two way character development, scary murdery hot guy. I would read this if it was a book.

I am already way too invested in these stories.. especially the two cats in the slasher scenario

Really late to the party, but these are fantastic! I adore the raccoon sisters whole vibe and look; it's always a treat to see you draw more wild, crazily energetic expressions in contrast to the comparatively stoic ladies with swords.

I LOVE WHEN YOU DREW THE GOUSSE YOU PUT THE SONG THAT COMES ON FOR THE GEESE IN ARISTOCATS

3:44 Athena and odin’s pets arguing about who’s owner is better at being the god of wisdom, or just being chill and sharing wisdom with each other

I love that in the last one the chip bag in the back says “chips?”

I haven't watched the whole video yet but I must applaud whomever made the Stargate Atlantis reference with Rodney destroying the solar system

There is so many animation possibilities with your art and the way you come up with their backstories as you go is AMAZING LIKE DISNEY 👏🏾PIXAR👏🏾DREAMWORKS👏🏾 WAKE UUPPP

The last one gives me full-on Marauders vibes. And I can just imagine they're stealing the trash and then just like sifting through it for useful stuff that they can use and turn into weird quirky art pieces. Like yeah they could have just asked but it's much more fun to cause utter chaos and what not.

The mermaid designs are lovely, love the fin and scale incorporation

Character design brain is itching so I can't wait to watch this one

I loved the Seinfeld reference during the submissions when Jerry thought his Girlfriend had a stomach that talks to him when she's asleep.

Your use of colours always blows me away, Always so satisfying seeing you colour stuff cause it's always so damn striking

Dunno if it was intentional or not but Claude is rocking the candy man drip

I love the koi fish mermaids and the raccoons they are amazing 😭❤

He's so Neil and dear to my heart 🤣

I love the mermaids and the raccoons! What a fun video! 💜

i submitted the tiniest rabbit :D i can’t explain it but i relate to it on a soul level

I’ve only made it to Claude and Cassidy but I’m not gonna lie, I’m obsessed with them.

Ok first of all : daaang did not expect a new video to pop up but it sure is a very pleasant surprise. Second of all : omg YES blue eye samurai is such a fire show !!!! Am so glad Netflix greenlit season2.

I really love how you made a whole story just from the pictures! Your so creative :D

I headcannon that the reason why Neil’s geese friends look more duck-sized then geese size is because he’s just really big (which isn’t entirely inaccurate given the fact that Neil the Seal is a southern elephant seal, the largest species of seal in the world according to national geographic. Southern elephant seals have been known to grow up to 20 ft in length and weight up to 9k pounds (or 6.096 meters and 4.5 tons for those of you outside the US)

The music used in the sponsorship is the same music used by legends of avantris in the intro to their space dnd campaign stardust rhapsody

I'm still early in the vid looking at the horse and cat but advice to make them look more like a story is to make them interact with each other like the horse hugging the cat to protecter her with the shield or even make them look at each other, if you took each of them out of the picture they stand alone and you couldn't tell that there was suppose to be another person there, make them talk to each other or any kind of touch it'll really tell a story 😊

The raccoons on the moped would so have beef with the two kittens in the barbie car 😂

Hey Kira! Sorry for being late on this one... For the last story the head canon I'm getting for these two girls is that they are actually homeless friends/sisters together. I'm imagining a story where two teen girls are in the foster care system and as expected its not a perfect place to be until they meet one another and become best friends slowly the two bond over shared experiences maybe even already being sisters as a plot twist later on in the hypothetical series but were separated at birth either for a sale in the adoption industry or various other reasons for child separation. The two eventually escape this system deciding the only family they have is each other and after so many rejections come up with the conclusion that "if you wanted us to throw us out like trash so bad, then you won't miss your actual trash!" a very Marceline inspired coping mechanism of 'I'm rejected cause I want to be!' they also use the trash as a food source and either live in the dump or the forest as you would expect to find a pair of raccoons using everything they steal and scrounge to create a new world for each other. Their fashion is entirely made of stuff they've swiped from thrift store and homeless shelter donation boxes as well as dumpsters near malls when not scouring the nearby neighborhood where their new neighbor and seeming antagonist would live. Who knows though... maybe Tabatha could end up adopting the two of them if she only knew... Amazing job! Have a blessed day!

The think goose song from aristocats made me very happy.

Literally insane that this video only has 60k views (when i'm writing this). All of these illustrations are AMAZING. I can't put into words how incredibly beautiful every single piece is. And not to mention the character design skills!! omg

Cassidy and Claude were in a black and white party, thats why Cassidy is in almost fully white

So funny to see Neil as a lollipop man❤ Yep that what we call crossroad guards here in Australia haha

These are all so cute and well thought out. I think my favorite is the one with the slasher movie cats they’re so adorable I would play their game/watch their movie even tho I can’t deal with horror movies 😂😂

0:41 the random "why you my audience"😂😂

All of these are amazing BUT IM OBSESSED WITH RACOON GIRLS!!

Obsessed with the goose sisters' song from aristocats playing in the background of the goose lake speedpaint, haven't thought abt that song in a good while

20:05 This reminded me of an OC I've, a prince that gets cursed, simply because the girl that liked him was bitter that he didn't return her feelings. The curse made his head be detached from his body, but he purposely let's his head fall off. To scare or make fun off rude nobles. Sometimes he does it just to prank others. 😂

Giving the koi mermaids a more fish like appearance than human one is actually more accurate to the actual Japanese merfolk, the Ningyo which were often depicted as fish with the heads of humans

Okay this is a wild idea, but, quotes into characters?? From anywhere and everywhere, books, fanfiction, movies, art, murals, HISTORIC EVENTS, or made up by you, just making a character out of it, maybe using a pallet generator too for colors.

not to be all 🤓☝️ but the “golden retriever” puppy is (i’m pretty sure) a gorgeous cocker spaniel 🥰 the vibes still fit because Lady (from Lady and the Tramp) is one and the character actually kinda looks like Lady. I love every drawing in this, you’re so damn talented! ❤

your art was so expressive in this video

I'm glad you also use the term butt skirts~! Admittedly I used to call them butt cloth, but hey, terms evolve.

Never been this early, I always love your character designs and your videos of turning pictures into characters

Eda is the perfect example of quirky aunt but also cursed and weird example head and hands fall off! Hehe

Kira, I love your videos so much! In the best way I can explain: your videos make me feel like Halloween is year round. 🥲🫶

i was literally thinking abt moraine and lan’s relationship lmao, great art

The cat from the first one looks like Oliver from fma (all the designs look so fun and interesting❤)

I need that "DRIVE FAST, EAT TRASH" shirt.

I had a teacher who would say safety third because having fun, and learning new things were first and second on the list.

The dog in the picture is actually a cocker spaniel! love the art btw

I am so loving the longer videos, beautiful characters as always🩷🩷

I love your art style and how you have so much creativity 😩😩

I kind of head cannon Neil the seal being the two raccoon girls dad I feel like that'd be so cute and interesting

I adore the raccoons on a moped

I love all these pieces! Definitely need a part 2!!

Some background on the two raccoons on the vespa: The original image is from a talented and hilarious author/blogger Jenny Lawson a.k.a The Bloggess (highly recommend looking her up). Those are two of her beloved taxidermy racoons (Rory and Rory II) on an American Girl Vespa (She has a whole blog post about the picture). Super random but I thought I'd put it out there. The new character design of them are *chefs kiss* amazing job 🤣

Maybe with the geese, it's a performance of 'Goose Lake', but with zombies- so the regular geese are in zombie costumes, but as it turns out, one of them is an ACTUAL zombie.

thank you for posting another one of these, i binged literally every single one of your design videos I could find this weekend while working on my own character costume designs for uni and it is SO inspirational thank u

0:50 omg i follow them on twitter, i love their art!

OMG THE RACCOON ONEE and the koi one🥺

I'm less than 2 minutes into the video and I'm already so inspired. I love art so much. Am I being too enthusiastic about this? Yes. Anyway. Thanks for the inspiration.

12:00 omgosh its a big horseman Thorin Oakensheild

The raccoons are rebellious so in terms of their names they might use shortened versions- to this I thought of Alison and Amelia but they go by Ali and Amy

These photos are so beautiful ❤ masterfully designed

the two raccoon sisters are so good 😭💖

THE THINK GOOSE SONG FROM THE ARISTOCATS PLAYING IN THE BACK WHEN ITS THE GEESE IS JUST 🤌 I CANT

Neil the Seal is actually a juvenile elephant seal, maybe him from the future lol

More dragon and dragon version of the lizard for SpiderFang. Each of her sinister six could also be based on a genre you like.

Here’s an idea, obviously you don’t have to try it but I think it would be fun to turn Pinterest boards into characters✨✨

YEAAAAAAAAA I think more artists should just doodle or design things for the heck of it, art should and honestly *must* be F U N, and I love to see artists enjoy themselves and have a good time when they can 😋 So safe to say, Great vid, you passed the fun exam with flying colors HAHA

Y love the racoons girls, I need a print of them so baaad❤

Love how you made claud I loved it and you killed him Classic

YIPPEE PRICKLYALPACA UPLOAD!!

this is such a wacky idea i love it

This is my favorite of your videos so far. I love the slasher cats.

I can confirm that I do in fact want 2 racoons on a Moped

love your art! this is so cool! oh and fun facts Sirens are actually bird people similar to Harpys and mermaids are actually not from Greek myth but Egipthen myfh. also Neal the seal is the best.

2:18 this is a statement that could also be applied to stargate atlantis. Bonus points if the reference was intentional!
