August 2014: Jumbled Alteration: Wanted to make a simple and cute header with all the characters together. We tried using photo shop on this one. We’re still learning how it works. I’m a little too old fashioned to really focus all my work on a computer than using my hands in my opinion.
August 2014: Life’s A Beach: I drew this made this one for the Life’s a Beach special as a reflection of how to draw the female characters in their beach outfits.
September 2014: Soundly Sleeping: If you already watched the JODDAS VAPD promotional video this one isn’t too surprising. I wanted this month to be a simple cover, nothing too flashy or a parody of something popular. I just wanted something with all the characters resting as the final days of summer come to an end.
March 2015: Chibi VAPD: I wanted to take another shot at making my characters into chibi form. As I don’t care much for the month of March I thought I would make this one since I don’t care much for St. Patricks day.
April 2015: Bunny Gals: I was thinking about doing an Easter themed header, but I decided not to and just went with a fan service header. All the girls are in their respected colors.
April 2015: Bunny Dudes: I had to make one for the ladies, but I wasn’t sure on how to make my guys come off as sexy. Got them in their respected colors just like the girls.
May 2015: Scott Special: Originally I wanted to do an Age of Ultron parody for May, but I left my rough draft out in the open and I ended up bending the draft and it became unusable. So I’m going to add special headers that will feature each character for a little bit. The next one to follow being either Vanilla or Alma. I made this one only using MSpaint.
May 2015: Vanilla Special: I had planned to make a header like this awhile ago, but I wasn’t sure in what way I would make it. I listened to Katy Perry’s “Firework” song over and over again to figure out just how Vanilla might perform the song. Her outfit is based on various different Idolm@ster cards I based off of with a sort of Carmen outfit.
May 2015: Alice Special: So Alice’s name was based on the popular character from “Alice in Wonderland.” It’s my favorite Disney movie, an interesting book, and I just love different interpretations of the popular tale (except the Tim Burton garbage). I wanted to make my own version of characters from the book for this header, and I hopefully conveyed each character.
May 2015: David Special: David being the more intelligent of all the characters in JODDAS VAPD gets to play as a mad scientist. I thought about making it a little more gruesome with eyeballs and junks, but changed my mind, (even though I kept the tools in the background.
May 2015: Patrick Special: Patrick screams punk for me even though the real life person he’s based off of couldn’t be any further from punk. I like the way this turned out and it really expresses the kind of guy Patrick is.
May 2015: Alma Special: Alma is the elegant high class girl so I wanted her simplistic beauty to shine. However Alma isn’t about fancy dresses and high luxury as she likes to have her own kind of fun as well.
May 2015: Ophelia Special: Ophelia based on someone I love very much. I wanted to show off some of the wild spirit of my girlfriend and what makes her special. I was going for a kind of gypsy design, but I feel it comes out more oriental for some reason.
May 2015: Drew Special: Drew was the very first character I ever created in JODDAS VAPD and he has always been the cool ladies man. I wanted to make him especially classy and cool in this header. I like the idea that Drew hangs out in the clubs and just surrounds himself with ladies upon his presence.
May 2015: Jen Special: Jen being the tomboy of the group shows off her strength. I originally thought of adding blood on her fists, but thought it wouldn’t fit into her character.
May 2015: Dan Special: I wasn’t sure what to do for Dan, but he’s always been pretty simple and I wanted his special header to reflect his personality. I love Seattle Washington and I love Pudget Sounds which this header is based off of similar to the Life’s a Beach special.
June 2015: Summer Fun Pt 1: I asked my girlfriend for her favorite girls and guys for this summer themed header. With an upcoming special in August I thought it would be necessary for another beach special.
August 2015: Summer Break Pt. 2: I got so caught up on making the Summer Special that I forgot to make this header in July. I wanted to get the other 5 characters in the header and here it is.
September 2015: Autumn Walk: My two favorite seasons are Winter and Autumn, and I thought Ophelia and Dan being together in the change of colors was perfect for this header. I like cool breezes the leaves in the air.
November 2015: Rainy Day: I don’t mind rain as it reminds me of Washington. Fall is the only real time I get to see rain where I currently live now, so I associate rain with Fall just like windy leaves.
January 2016: Select a Fighter: This was a header I was going to do way back in 2014 around the time I was working on the Life’s a Beach special, but then I changed from colored pencil to the new coloring method I use now. I still have some of the original character portraits which I kind of wish I could have used for this header, but they were already colored in so I couldn’t use them. The portraits come from various JODDAS VAPD strips, have fun looking up which ones I used.
April 2016: Faces: I wanted a simple header featuring all of the characters and playing Persona 4 helped me come up with this idea.
April 2016: Lovely Lolita: I postponed my original Alice and Drew header because it just turned out bad, and the idea of dressing Alice in gothic clothing came to mind during the “Love in All the Weird Places” special.
June 2016: Sexy Beach Alma: I didn’t have a Summer Special in mind for this year due to my move so each month during the Summer would feature two girls as the header showing off their looks. The first month was Alma & Jen.
June 2016: Sexy Beach Jen: I didn’t have a Summer Special in mind for this year due to my move so each month during the Summer would feature two girls as the header showing off their looks. The first month was Alma & Jen.
July 2016: Sexy Beach Ophelia: I didn’t have a Summer Special in mind for this year due to my move so each month during the Summer would feature two girls as the header showing off their looks. The second month we have Ophelia & Alice.
July 2016: Sexy Beach Alice: I didn’t have a Summer Special in mind for this year due to my move so each month during the Summer would feature two girls as the header showing off their looks. The second month features Ophelia & Alice
August 2016: Sexy Beach Vanilla: Last girl to get the beach treatment. Vanilla gets the sexy poster pose and the china dress looking bikini. It was fun drawing the girls for this years Summer headers.
