Raoul Mendoza

“Come play with us, Mom!”

[[Another old doodle (I’ve been taking a break from the height chart). So I hope you like this little future snapshot of Daddy Raoul playing with Danny and Amara, Crow! I imagine that this would happen a lot. Since by the time the kids come along the farms in Brazil and shipping outlet in Metro would be practically self sustaining. So Raoul could be a stay at home dad while Violet perused her career in the justice system. Being a big kid at heart himself, Raoul would be unable to resist imaginary games with the ninos. XD]]

Happy Birthday!

Happy late birthday to you
Happy late birthday to you
Happy late birthday, Crow!

Happy late Birthday to you! 

And many moooooooooooooooooooooooooooooore!

Sorry it took me so long, but as requested one little!Violet and little!Junior giving each other kid standard penniless gifts on their birthday. A little handmade card from Violet and a flower crown from Junior.

Also, as a bonus I couldn’t resist adding an adult Raoul and Violet, still giving each other flowers and drawings. ;P

Doodle dump

-@-@-@-@-@-

It’s been a while since I’ve posted one of these. Hasn’t it? XP I pieced this one together in between study breaks durning my summer class. Back then I still kept tabs on tumblr enough though I didn’t have the time to really read closely or participate. So excuse me if some of the details are outdated.

I’ll start in the upper left corner with Raoul and Violet being silly. Idk I just felt like being goofy, and since Crow mentioned it I will now strive to put Violet in different colors from now on. lol XD

Bellow that is chib/emo/depressed Dread. When I drew this he and Joel had just broken up. So it felt fitting. I hope the little thing amuses you, dear.

Next, I decided to kidnap Monty because I need more practice with beards. I don’t know if I missed a few scars but I can fix that in the future. Anyway there was a lot of zombie gifs on his blog back then, ergo the cute little scene next to the bust. I was giggling the whole time when I was sketching it.

The red  head is supposed to be Mary. I just love her character design. A crusading political anylist in public and a sexy dominatrix by night. She fits in wonderfully in this fandom! ;D

Last but certainly not least is Eriu. I just wanted to draw her, no real reason. I don’t know if I did her justice though. =/

Thantos, Steve, Julia, and Dr. Nibbles

-@-@-@-@-@-

I drew these a while back and I finally got around to scanning and coloring. ;P These are Raoul’s friends from Brazil and whom we meet in the Brazil trilogy. I hope I managed to describle them like this in the threads.

P.S. They’re all my babies but I can’t help but favor Nibbles! XDD His disign was just perfect! 

P.S.S. My apologies to anyone who knows how to draw pregnant women properly. I just winged it with Julia. And please forgive Steve’s hand (or lack of hands) I was getting lazy by then. XP

Violet mini

[[This was once apart of a large doodle dump but the rest of it wasn’t any good.]]

A race down the hallway.

-@-@-@-@-@-

A few days before Violet went to Mykaal and not too long after the pair returned home from Brazil the routine was for Raoul to wait in the hospital lobby after his physical appointments. He was usually exausted by was usually half asleep by the time Violet arrived to pick him up.

On this particular afternoon Raoul was roused by his stupor not by his lovely girlfriend but by a nurse who was being particularly nasty. Not to him, but he could hear her bitching from across the hallway. It was nothing directed at anyone nor was it disgraceful conduct for a nurse. She was just being… cranky.

Raoul wouldn’t have bothered if the children’s ward hadn’t been on that side of the hall. 

But hey, if she was going to be a witch then maybe somebody ought to give her something to point her broomstick at.

When Violet finally arrived there were skid marks on the sterile tile. A potted plant in the corner was upturned. Several children were giggling in their casts and hospital gowns off to the side of the lobby. On middle age nurse was stilling in one of the lobby’s uncomfortable sea green chairs sucking wind, while other nurses bustled around the scene, and in the middle of it all was her boyfreind. There looked to be a mechanic musing over his wheelchair, and Raoul sat up straight and proper.  

On his face was what she’d come to know as his “innocent face” and it really deserved a little golden halo.

“Buenos dias, Violetta.” Raoul grinned sweetly.

How they figured out Amara had powers….

[[Another future pic/comic I couldn’t resist. XD Crow and I have talked about Amara and Danny’s powers before. We knew that Amara would be a psychic but Crow suggested that Raoul and Violet didn’t figure it out until the girl was older. Though they noticed that she was a “very perceptive child”. This idea popped into my head this morning and I couldn’t resist. So here’s how they figured out for sure that Amara had powers. XD]]

[[Hope you laughed just as hard as I did!]]

[[PS. Sorry but you have to go to my page for bigger text. =/]]

Amara and Danny Mendoza

[[Ok, so I kind of cheated on this one Crow. XD I’ve had this sitting on my computer since study week but then… Well, it was study week. That should be self explanatory.]]

[[So this is Amara and Danny Mendoza, Violet and Raoul’s future children. Danny is the oldest and as Raoul’s first born he gets his powers. While Danny was born with brown eyes they’ll slowly turn green as he inherits Raoul’s powers and saps them from his old man. It’s like the passing of the olympic torch. (Which was why Raoul’s eyes were slowly turning brown in the last picture of him and Violet in middle age) Danny doesn’t inherit any of Violet’s powers but he can be reserved and cautious like his mother. That doesn’t mean that Danny is shy. It means that he’s a look-before-you-leap sort of guy. He’s very laid back personality wise. If you can’t find him chances are he’s napping under a tree or reading under a book under said tree. Although quiet, Danny is very comfortable in his own skin and he’s a calm polar opposite to his energetic sister.]]

[[Amara wasn’t planned but that doesn’t mean she was any less loved. She may not have inherited Raoul’s powers but her father is a sucker for girls. Growing up Raoul had a hard time punishing her or yelling at her when she had done something wrong (which was often, she’s the adventurous sort). If it wasn’t for Violet bringing the girl down to earth, Amara would have been a spoiled brat. However she didn’t turn out that way. Yes she’s head strong but her heart’s in the right place. And she’s always trying to do what’s right (even if she doesn’t aways pick the right way of doing so).  Amara inherited Violet’s mind reading powers. (so an example of one of her stunts would be… Standing up for a kid being bullied but does so by reading the bully’s mind and verbally striking back at the abuser’s faults. Not a tactful approach in a school setting). Amara is sporty and in high school may have been the captain of a few teams. Out of the pair Amara is more likely of the two to want to pick up hero work, while Danny will probably take over the farms in Brazil. Still Amara hasn’t lost touch with her femininity and I imagine that going shopping with her mother is one of her favorite actives. And if anyone realized that her double cow lick was a throw back to Raoul’s mother, have a cookie =D]] 

[[Both Amara and Danny, being the children of multiple well loved homes (in different countries and dimensions), feel confident that wherever they wanders they’ll be alright somehow. Their loving homes have given them a solid background and belief in themselves. So that no matter what the future holds they’ll find a way to make it and make it well.]]

“Well, it’s official. I’m old and fat.”

“That’s ok, Raoul. I still love you.”

*puppy dog eyes* “Am I still your stud muffin?”

*laughs* “Yes you’re still my stud muffin. C’mere sexy.”

*smooches*

[[Most of the time we play our characters as they are in their prime, but I can’t help but wonder what they would look or act like when they’re old. So here’s a snapshot of Raoul and Violet in their early to mid fifties (which isn’t that old but this was too cute of a scene for me not to draw) There’s a story behind why Raoul’s eyes are turning brown in this but that will be explained later in another drawing I have in store for you guys.]]

[[As always, Violet belongs to Crow and I just have too much fun kidnapping her. ;D]]

The Evolution of Raoul

[[Originally I just wanted a basic size chart and to practice drawing Raoul at different stages at his life but after 17 I couldn’t just skip to 24. Too much happened to him!]]
