Flores Cousin Bonding ft. Baby Jaquins
[Image ID: A pencil crayon and ink drawing of Esteban, Isabel and the baby jaquins from Elena of Avalor. Esteban is on the left holding a basket full of anoki berries with one arm and holding out a berry to Estella with the other. Zoom is reaching over his arm towards the basket of berries. Isabel is on the right holding Mingo in her arms while Estella is sitting on her head. They are all outside by a berry bush. 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?

Underneath in the foreground there is a large spiral rose vine with two large roses on it. On the right in the foreground, Marimonda is gifting a flower crown to Carla. On the far right there is another large rose vine with two more roses. End ID]

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.

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

-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.”
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).

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. 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.
This is a picture of Charoca and Charica I made using watercolor paints.
I noticed that Elena’s dress (post “The Magic Within”) turns orange when she's mad, light blue when she's calm, and pink when she's feeling love, just like Charoca and Charica do when they feel those emotions.
That thought inspired this comic.
Here's my drawing for the discord weekly challenge of Princess Rebecca, Princess Chloe and Princess Valentina! They're having an ice cream party.
On the planet Ahch-To, Jedi Master Mateo travels to find the first Jedi temple. He takes his Padawan, Olivia with him. On the way she gets to meet some of the planet's native wildlife.
Just a little bit of Elena of Avalor Star Wars AU! (Yes, it is a Porg she's holding :D)
Armando, as a Jaquin for the EOA discord weekly challenge, week 2!
This is the picture I drew of Spring Mateo, for week one of the EOA discord weekly challenge! I had always wanted to draw Mateo in a bowler hat.
