Elena of Avalor Appreciation Week 2021: Crown

Long may she reign! ✿

Once I thought to myself: "How would King Pescoro travel around on land? Probably with a superchair." So I made this. Cristina is showing him how to use it.

Some mother son baking! I was inspired to draw this by @lieutenant-amuel‘s great fanfiction “Was Born To Lead.”

Here’s my piece for the @guidinglightzine featuring Victor and Carla! I made it alongside @lostbutterflyutau‘s wonderful fanfiction: https://archiveofourown.org/works/29487672. It was so much fun to be part of the zine!✨

On the table in front of them are many small food dye bottles, a bowl, jars, a butter dish, and a crumpled paper bag. Behind them is a window with phacelia and nasturtium flowers behind it. End ID]

2021 Elena of Avalor Ship Week Day 6 - Dancing

I drew this a few months ago but only coloured it recently for ship week. Rafictor is one of my favourite crackships for EOA, so it’s essential to post this for shipweek.

I just think Francisco and Luisa are such a cute couple. 

I originally drew this picture for early 2020’s EOA shipweek, but completed it late and decided not to post it back then. I recently colored it and so I can finally post it for this year's ship week.

If Mateo was able to make the Jaquin potion in the show, then his grandfather probably did as well decades beforehand. So maybe “Shapeshifters” wasn't Elena's first time being a jaquin...

Her parents were pretty startled when she knocked the potion onto herself but she still had a nice day spending time with her cousin while Alacazar made the reversal potion.

I was once asked what I would look like if I took the Jaquin potion, I came up with this result.

I just think they would get along very well.

In “Team Isa” we are shown that Gabe's family has a dog, and it is a very good dog.

Elenaomi Week | Day 7

When visiting a kingdom that has snow in the winter, Elena and Naomi are gifted a scarf it's far too big for one person to wear! Oh no, whatever shall they do?! Actually, it seems that they know exactly what to do...

[Image ID: A pencil crayon and ink drawing of Elena and Naomi, holding hands in a gentle embrace as snow falls around them. They are both wearing winter coats and they are sharing one large purple scarf. End ID]

Victor is definitely the type of dad who would wear a baby carrier.

This is a birthday card I made for @saraahsapphire! 

[Image ID: First image: Ensigns Tendi & Rutherford from Star Trek: Lower Decks are looking straight at the viewer. Text: (Tendi) Hi there! We heard it was your birthday, so we made a special surprise for you! (Rutherford) We reprogrammed the ship's nacelles to look like they're trailing streamers whenever the ship goes to warp! Second image: The USS Cerritos is seen going to warp speed as colourful streamers burst out behind it. A Romulan bird-of-prey that was trying to follow the ship gets covered with the streamers. Text: Happy birthday!  End ID]

@saraahsapphire Was the one who came up with the Original AU idea, and it was so cute I just had to draw it. After we re-watched “Realm Of The Jaquins” together she said: “What if Victor and Carla became friends with Marimonda?” To which I replied “YES!” and drew this.

They are either plotting to take over the world with plants and friendship, or they have been reformed by this point, who knows?

A while ago me and @lieutenant-amuel Talked about how since Gabe and some of the other guards know magic now, maybe they should get more ‘wizard robe-like’ uniforms. I started designing it but then I realized “I could add a whole bunch of other things to this is well!” And I ended up with this.

Here's an explanation of some of my redesign choices: -Rank insignia.  I'm using a system of Pips because I am a Star Trek nerd. But instead of circles or diamonds, they are five petaled flowers, since that symbol is on the emblem for the show as well as a few banners in Avalor.

-Royal guard badge. So that everyone can tell he's a royal guard of Avalor.

-Tamborita badge. Above his left pocket you can see a small golden tamborita. Gabe and any other guards trained in magic would have this to signify that they have been specially trained in magic.

-Pockets. Because pockets are amazingly useful and every modern military uniform has them, so I just decided to throw them in as well.

-Longer coat. To make the outfit look a little bit more wizard like.

-More gold. Well, it's not actual gold, but gold colours look really good with red and blue, so I just had to add it.

So for one week of the Discord weekly challenge, the prompt was “Night On The Town,” so that inspired me to make these sketches & a drawing, and a tiny fanfiction. Where together, Victor and Ixlan went out for a night on the town, (since he hadn't been out for this kind of stuff for around 9 months, and she hadn't been out for something like 3009 months.

[Image ID: Ixlan and Victor standing together playing music. Victor is playing a green & gold accordion and Ixlan is playing a Tambor Trueno. End ID]

[Full disclosure, I drew this before “Elena's day off" came out, and this would be set before that].

[Image ID: A 3 panel pencil sketch drawings.The scenes in the images are described below. End ID]

 -First, they both rode horses through town, Ixlan was both excited and nervous about this (although that was hard to tell from just looking at her). Victor helped her with horse riding tips, and then later she helped him not get captured by a group of citizens who remembered this face from a wanted poster. The horses got pretty scared by that event, so they decided to go to Doña Paloma’s Emporium and leave them with her. She could return them to the palace later. They could just continue on foot for the rest of the night. (I'm assuming by this point they’ve probably met the whole Grand Council).

-After they dropped off the horses at the emporium, Doña taught Ixlan about different kinds of fans and which one is the best to buy, while Victor tried out every accordion in the emporium as loudly as possible. He eventually found one that he liked (which also happened to be the first one he'd actually picked up and tried out) and bought it. (Don't worry, Elena had given them some money beforehand). 

-Then they went out for dinner and drinks at Cafe Angelica, (Since Julio had recommended it to them). Afterwards they walked back through the city playing music, Victor on his new accordion and Ixlan on her Tambor Trueno. 

-At the end of the night they rode the Hydro-Gondola back to the palace, although Ixlan rode it a bit differently than intended (by siting on the roof on it). Victor not-so-calmly asked her why she was doing that, and she replied, “I can see the stars much better from up here.”

Ever since “The Lightning Warrior” came out, I've been thinking about how Mateo now has a student who is three times his age, and this would probably cause some...misunderstandings.

[Comic script: Panel 1: Visiting Royal wizard (Talking to Victor): Ah so you must be the Royal Wizard, and those three must be your apprentices. Victor doesn't say anything but he has a shocked expression. Panel 2 Mateo: WHAT! But I’m- Carla (Interrupting Mateo): -Oh, don't worry, I'm sure you'd be a great Royal Wizard if you got the job! Olivia: Maybe if you grew a beard it would be easier to tell...]

Since we have seen Elena, Gabe, and Mateo as Jaquins, I decided to draw Naomi as one too!

I noticed that all the very young royals in EOA have one thing in common: the colour green. So I decided to draw a picture of them all together! 💚 Isa, Caterina and Ari all like building things, and Nico likes flying, so they're all building a glider together.

I'm still not over The Lightning Warrior, so here's a picture of young Elena, Victor, Esteban and Isabel cooking together.  (Whatever it is they're making, it's going to end up a lot more peppery than the recipe originally required it to be).

[Image ID: A coloured pencil and ink drawing of the above-mentioned characters from Elena of Avalor, cooking together in the palace kitchen. Elena holds a large mixing bowl while Victor mixes it with one hand and shakes pepper into it with a pepper shaker. Esteban is holding up Isabel so she can reach a high shelf to retrieve a jar from it.

Elena of Avalor Appreciation Week 2020 -  Unforseen

I just hope something like this happens in the show.

[Image ID: A three panel paper and ink Elena of Avalor comic. Comic script: Panel 1: Victor: Oh look, it's the “People who I loved and trusted and then they stabbed me through the heart club!” Panel 2: Ash & Esteban: VICTOR!?! Panel 3: Tziloco: Umm...Who is this guy? Chatana: I'm not sure but apparently he won something. Pili: And how could he have survived being stabbed in the heart more than once? End ID]

Elena of Avalor Appreciation Week 2020: Stars

The baby Jaquins are stars in their own rights.

Elena of Avalor Appreciation Week 2020 - Beach

There is one episode of Avatar: The Last Airbender called "The Beach", and this and this prompt reminded me of it, so the pose is based off a scene from that episode.

Elena of Avalor Appreciation Week Tuesday: Darkness and Light

I decided to paint a watercolour picture of the spirit tree for this prompt because unlike most afterlifes, the EoA spirit world transitions from the place where the dark spirits live to the light all on the same giant tree.

I drew this back in January of 2020. I was feeling in an angsty mood about Carla being in jail all alone, but then I re-watched “To Save a Sunbird” and realized that she wouldn't be alone, because this little guy is in the dungeon too. So I drew this and I felt a lot better.

[Image ID: Two pictures,The first is a pencil and ink drawing Carla Delgado from Elena of Avalor with a Xolo dog. The second is a screenshot from the EoA episode “To Save a Sunbird.” End ID]

I did the the “Six Fanarts” challenge again, this time using recommendations given to me by my friend, @lilystar244 ! I had a lot of fun drawing this one, and technically it's a crossover because they're all wearing Mabel-made sweaters.

Here's a list of the characters in order from left to right:

First Row: Naomi Turner - Elena of Avalor Mabel Pines and Waddles - Gravity Falls Alya Cesaire and Trixx - Miraculous Ladybug Second Row: Peridot - Steven Universe Little My - Moomin Stitch - Lilo & Stitch

[Image ID: A pencil crayon and ink drawing of all the above-mentioned characters. In the first row, they are all taking a selfie together. In the second row, Peridot is distracting Little My so Stitch can set up a prank with a fire extinguisher. End ID]

Victor reminds from one of those old film Noir movies, and I just love that style of of suits and hats. I haven't done a grayscale pencil drawing in over a year, and I think this turned out very well.
