PhoenixRising's Randomized Collection of Thing-a-mabobs
 
:haspencil:


Third year participating in Seektober and hopefully second time completing the challenge of 30 but we'll see. Emphasis on the randomized collection as I'll be attempting the Aparecium 30-Day Challenge, where instead of picking the one that vibes, i plan to add all 150 prompts from Nick, Friar, Helena, Baron, Myrtle and let a generator pick out 30 from those prompts. Might be crazy for attempting this

Similar to 2023, I'll likely be doing this via pencils, however this time I have colored pencils available at my disposal. Although since it's a randomized collection, I may also vary the medium depending on my prompt.

I loved your 2023 drawings! I can't wait to see what you can do with colored pencils! :loved:

Zoe 10-08-2025 01:22 AM

OMG! Using a random generator for all the prompts is absolute genius! I can't wait to see which ones get picked and how you bring them to life. ^_^

WhittyBitty 10-09-2025 07:18 AM

Can’t wait to see what you come up with, Jess! I know it will be great. :yes:

PhoenixRising 10-25-2025 03:38 AM

They're finally all generated! :lol: I almost called it, my indecisive collection of randomization, cause well that's part of the reason for the generator too is my indecision ;)

Thanksss Whit! :glomp:


Wellppp... 24 days into October and we finally focused long enough to get two drawings completed. I'll probably batch a few of these in the next couple days *fingers crossed*, presuming my ADD doesn't get the best of me and I get distracted with fifty million other tasks.

First up, Polyjuice potion. I initially was going to just do a flask with a potion, but decided to add a very terrible rendition of Hermione transfigured as a cat, and feeling very ashamed too
1. Polyjuice Potion [Myrtle]


PhoenixRising 10-25-2025 03:42 AM

Next up on my generator I had a prompt for yellow and black. I went simple here, just alternating with yellow and black stripes. Although I think i need to sharpen my yellow pencil. Other than my struggling to shade in the yellow, it was hard to mess up stripes :lol:

18. Yellow and Black [Fat Friar]



sweetpinkpixie 10-25-2025 11:43 PM

Hey now, don't beat yourself up and call an honest effort 'terrible'! There is something charming about an elevated stick figure like your Kitty!Hermione :x3: I think it was the right choice adding her to your potion flask

Hats off to your yellow colored pencil for a day's work *salute*

Felixir 10-26-2025 02:53 AM

seconding kath, no calling your efforts terrible! I think cat!hermione is sweet and someone can definitely grasp the narrative of the piece if they know the canon. and for the stripes prompt, kudos to committing to filling in the whole thing. was that all without sharpening the yellow pencil?

WhittyBitty 10-28-2025 01:03 AM

I second Kath and Felix! I like your art. :loved: And I can’t wait to see what you post next. I agree about cat!Hermione being sweet. :3

I mean tbh, they do say we are our own worst critics, lol. But thank youuu :x3:

Definitely something needed. I feel like such a novice doodler but hey, it works :xd: and yes I never did sharpen that pencil. I mean i did now but not while doing that one piece

Thankssss Whit :sprinklelove:


Don't think I'm gonna make the accolades, but I do have a few more pieces and perhaps can get to the 15 mark. We'll see *eyes the clock*
2. Serene [Grey Lady]

My mind on this one was going for the calm landscape vibes of a beach sunset. I probably should have added some birds or something, but hopefully gets the vibe of serenity across.


PhoenixRising 11-01-2025 03:14 AM


14. Pipes [Myrtle]

I'd be lying if i told you I wasn't inspired by Felix's interpretation of this one that had me wanting to do my own. What can I say, 80s-90s kid who played Super Mario Bros (and HATED those flowers too!!! :whaa:)



PhoenixRising 11-01-2025 03:17 AM

4. Astronomy Tower [Bloody Baron]

I'm not gonna lie, i really wanted to do the telescope sketch but skills are much too novice for that which had me settle for another interpretation of this prompt. Our planets. And because in my heart and brain, Pluto is forever a planet, yes I did indeed include Pluto.



PhoenixRising 11-01-2025 03:20 AM

11. Enormous Yellow Eyes [Myrtle]

Not gonna lie here, but I hated this prompt. Like I wanted to do the eyes but then kind of just look omelets? I don't know. I mean I think the gist is maybe there... somewhere. Hopefully *eyes this again with her brown eyes*




PhoenixRising 11-01-2025 03:22 AM

16. Unrequited love [Bloody Baron]

I totally messed up the guy's hands and there was no saving it without starting over completely. But I used separate colors for the people mostly to help identify that there's two people here, she's kind of lusting after him and he's all indifferent. I thought about just doing a broken heart too... but I was like, oh, i can maybe do a little more??



PhoenixRising 11-01-2025 03:24 AM

6. "I was just sitting in the U-bend, thinking about death…" [Myrtle]

This is probably one of my favorites :lol: A toilet. Thinking about death. I mean, come now. I don't know that i need further explanations



PhoenixRising 11-01-2025 03:27 AM

3. Transfiguration [Gray Lady]

My brain wasn't working for this one in what sorts of transfiguration I could do and I probably should have attempted a different one because not a fan of how the tea kettle turned out. Hopefully you could tell what it's meant to be. The snail is cute though.



PhoenixRising 11-01-2025 03:29 AM

5. Basilisk [Myrtle]

Kind of looks similar to a snake, but then I added the fangs and yellow eyes to hopefully make it more distinguishable. This one was fun to create.


PhoenixRising 11-01-2025 04:53 AM

7. Pox [Fat Friar]

My initial intention was to just go for red spots but then I decided to add the body, which is why it wasn't very centered and got cut off.



PhoenixRising 11-01-2025 04:56 AM

8. Timid [Gray Lady]

The fingers are a bit weird but the general principle is here. Scared little child... uncertain of the world. Goodness, I should have just done a self-portrait :lol:


PhoenixRising 11-01-2025 04:57 AM

9. "If you have to ask, you'll never know. If you know, you need only ask." [Gray Lady]

This quote just makes me think of a secret. Or a riddle.


PhoenixRising 11-01-2025 04:59 AM

10. Hot-tempered [Bloody Baron]

Hot-tempered. Literally. Kind of feeling "Inside Out" ish, but I didn't have it in me to sketch that, but same type of principles here.

17. "One piffling error, and then, to my terror, / I found myself facing the chop." [Nearly Headless Nick]

My thoughts just went to "the chop" for this one and thought of butcher's knife, so here you have it :lol: If I was more skilled, I'd maybe have attempted the guillotine, since that's probably more likely for Nick's time, but alas....


PhoenixRising 11-01-2025 05:03 AM

19. Noble [Nearly Headless Nick]

Noble. A crown. Okay. It's late, but I have a couple more to post that I sketched so might as well keep going. My commentary is just getting shorter though lol


PhoenixRising 11-01-2025 05:06 AM

20. Shackles [Bloody Baron]

Shackles, aka, just some handcuffs, because why not? Although the chains are a little weird but something to work out the kinks (pun intended)


PhoenixRising 11-01-2025 05:08 AM

21. Moustache [Nearly Headless Nick]

I probably should have added a mouth here, because just a floating 'stache is weird. The strokes though for the hair look enough that could maybe tell it's a mustache. *squints*
