YCH Showcase - November 2025 by AlexanderPaupoff, journal
YCH Showcase - November 2025
YCH (Your Character Here) artists don't just create art; they ignite your imagination with boundless possibilities. With each stroke of their pencil or brush, they sketch a scene, a moment, a pose that invites you to envision your character within it. It's not merely a commission; it's a collaborative journey where you and the artist co-author an unforgettable experience for your character.
Welcome to this monthly feature where we spotlight the exceptional talents of YCH artists and their inspired creations. We invite you to immerse yourself in the imaginative worlds they've crafted for characters like yours. And, who knows? You might just discover a space for your own character to shine within their art!

Have you ever heard of the word gladiolus? Well, for those who haven't, don't blush. Gladiolus means sword, [a gladiator is a man of the sword]. While each color of the gladiolus has a meaning, when pink it represents peace and beauty. Imagine a sword of peace and beauty. Something to be adored while also strong. Like Andie Walsh, played by Molly Ringwald, in Pretty in Pink 1986. But loving such a flower does not demand it love you. While Blane McDonnaugh was loved by the

Fan Art Friday: Gravity Falls
Welcome to another Fan Art Friday! To celebrate this month of horror, we're delving into the fantastical, supernatural, and mysterious world of Gravity Falls.
Released in 2012, Gravity Falls is an animated television series focused on comedy and mystery, created by Alex Hirsch. It follows the adventures of Dipper and Mabel Pines, twins forced by their parents to spend the summer with their great-uncle Stan, who lives in Gravity Falls, a mysterious town filled with paranormal incidents and supernatural creatures. The children help their uncle run the Mystery Shack, a tourist trap he runs, while they begin to uncover the town's secrets.
Dipper finds a cryptic journal that offers insight into the town's mysteries, and the two siblings find themselves embroiled in endless supernatural and dangerous adventures. Over time, they also uncover secrets about their uncle Stan, who seems to know more than he lets on, and face a powerful enemy who can make their nightmares come
