Frazie Aquato - Blog Posts

When I draw him as a teen I always give him his nanny chin

A complexion study! I thought it’d be interesting to contemplate what the Aquatos would look like with a few varieties of realistic Romani skin colors and how the two might mingle to retain that goofy red/yellow/green and yellow/blue/brown color harmony from the games.

I’m absolutely not the first person to do this, but I can’t find the post that inspired me. It was Frazie and Mirtala with brown skin in pretty blue leotards, I think. If anyone can find it, plz link me.

(I also felt the need to sit and tweak Raz’s face a bit so he looks less like a Danny Phantom clone than in previous drawings.)

[ID: Digital art of sketches of Razputin and the Aquato family with skin tones varying from Simpsons yellow to olive to warm red-brown. There’s a bunch of tests of Raz in the top left as a smiling teenager. In the top right, Dion has been reimagined with long hair pulled back in a thick ponytail and a goatee. He’s wearing a royal blue leotard with gold trim and a deep collar. He looks contemplative. Frazie is in the bottom right with her hair flayed out behind her in an 80s windswept look. She’s wearing a light blue leotard with stripes of purple-blue swirly fabric, yellow trim around the midsection, and a white striped undershirt underneath. She’s staring curiously at a green lens she found. Donatella smiles and winks behind her with yellow and white glitter on her cheeks and blue shadowed eyes. There’s a gag in the bottom left of Augustus (in a green and yellow ringmaster’s outfit) warmly telling Raz (in a grey long sleeve) that he’s starting to get his grandmother’s chin, and Raz uncomfortably imagines himself with a skinny blunted chin like Marona. The skin tones of the children are varying intersections of their father’s red-brown skin and their mother’s olive skin. End ID]

Some more Psychonauts doodles that I’ve managed to get out while drowning in schoolwork

Psychonauts doodles!

Happy Mermay!

Day 15 : She's gonna throw rocks at fishermen.

Party people bouncing off the walls.

Special thanks to @ooliecat, @cosmicheartz, and @salempie

One time when my sister was showing me a bunch of Gorillaz music videos, I had a revelation (no disrespect to people who love their blue-haired british men.)

Hey, look. I got an UGLY FACE. Can I join your UGLY CLUB?

Really, I think Clem would detest this holiday. Maybe it wouldn't be so bad if he had Crystal to spend it with.

Lift me up

Special thanks to ooliecat and salempie (who both suggested Alice in Wonderland Elka) and @turquoisegemma

It's all fun and games until the bird craps on your hand.

I hope everyone had a good Halloween. Here's Sasha (and lots more.)

For ya mind, and ya body, and soul-soul (a redraw of a redraw? Wow)

Kittaaaaay you so prettaaaaaay

Jammin' we jammin'

I wanna put cute star-shaped hair clips in Chloe's hair… if she had any. We will have to improvise.

Children often enjoy being pushed on the swing set by their parent or legal guardian.

A true father-son bond is hurling a flaming, spiked juggling pin at your son's cranium.

Finished it!

I hurt my hands from drawing too much in April, but I'm okay. During that time I was trying to take a break from drawing, but I was beginning to lose it, so I drew Maloof in MS Paint.

I continued resting afterwards and I was able to draw normally again.

I wanted to try drawing Quentin with different expressions again. It wasn't so bad this time, but ...

[Earthbound mortal damage sound effect]

Might revisit this one. I wasn't feeling it the day I drew it.

I saw that shirt and thought of him.

This is really my third attempt at squirrel Augustus.

Elka is like a cartoon character to me. Her manner of speech is very expressive.

Cutting the bush does not hurt it.

Request from my sister (she is a fan of Gorillaz, could you tell?) Seems that Noodle Fed-Ex'ed herself to the wrong address and The Levitators/Firestarters/Whispering Rockers have a guitarist now.

I wish I could have drawn more. I thought the outfit Elton was drawn in here was cute.

making Bobby go through it in the elaborate music videos that play in my mind at midnight.

Slightly older Bobby (14?)

Rejected sketch. Well, who did you think was the one who cut Raz's head in half? (jk)

I will draw them until my fingers break.

I redrew the first image.

(August 25 - August 31 2023)

Last of August

Donatella apologizes to Raz (and more things under the cut.)

Next scene: Raz ignites Dion with pyrokinesis

"It is not just a little spark. It is a flame; a big roaring flame. I can feel it now ... it is burning, Burning, BURNING. ...Hey, something IS burning around here."

Hearing Dion say the corniest shit imaginable.

Oh hey, and I drew Dion "apologizing" too:

Misha saying thank you. (Misha smiled.)

I know I'm not the first to draw anthro versions of Kitty and Quentin, but here's my take on em.

I wasn't expecting the line when Raz shows her the button to hit me so hard. She's hanging out with some weeds (primarily ones that people only want to get rid of.)

I don't wanna end on a sad note, so I'll let you have the early sketch of the Frazie BLECH drawing (I thought Raz looked funny so I held onto it.)

See you next time

(August 15 - 17 2023)

My sister asked me to draw the Aquatos for her school binder. I don't draw on paper very often these days (or even COLOR on paper. I'm sure you could tell very quickly.)

It's not perfect, but my sister was satisfied with the results so I think it's alright. As you can see, it's based on the poster thingy in the 2nd game's intro animation.

Wait, can't forget Nona. (August 24 2023)

and Sugarcube is there too.

Hooray that means I've drawn every Aquato (and in color, too)

hello from Frazie

Four doodle pages so far. It just started as me wanting to draw a few campers. A "few" turned into 80% of them. Every camper and Aquato sibling appears at least once (As well as some special guest stars.) I'm sure you can tell who my favorites are by who appears frequently (well except Nils. It's just fun to draw him saying things.) These contain many references and inside jokes between me and my sister, so they might seem weird since I'm presenting them with minimal context. I think they can be enjoyed regardless.

Psychics are in full swing. More under the cut. Special thanks to my sister for inspiring 99% of these.

Finished product. Say it with me now: RAZPUTIN. NEEDS. THERAPY.

WIP. Raz getting bullied and having his family make horrible remarks at him all the while dissapointing Milla and Sasha for the casino incident really hit hard for me, due to me being in a similar situation to my youth. The depiction of bullying in Psychonauts 2 is both accurate and terrible at the same time, with the bullying itself being realistic, but the bullies themselves never receiving repercussions for their actions. When Razputin is peered pressured into changing Hollis’ mind, he is rightfully repremanded, but the interns get away with it and learn nothing. His family is understandably upset he ran away, but they’ve also branded him a traitor. And he realized that his hero, Ford Cruller, singlehandedly rewrote his family history (for somewhat understandable reasons), but still. If Double Fine ever revisits Psychonauts, I really hope they show how Raz is 9999% NOT okay.
