AAAAAAAAAA YOURE SO CUTE! Nice job fam!

Thank you so much for doing such an amazing job !

The color the lines the shadows I live it!!!

Oh and the biggest inspiration comes from my love of gardening and all things plant like.

My grandmother lived on a farm so the next best thing is to spread some joy with plants and share em.

I can't save the world but that doesn't mean I can't make it a little happier.

I thank my friends for inspiring me, gassing me up and being helpful so I can improve.

Yeah this is just a silly OC for random people out there but Jettella genuinely means everything to me and I hope I can make it far enough to tell the story I want in the future.

uhhh I gotta sleep for work so all I can say is yeah my ultimate goal is to make a game with her! Im still a ways off but im hoping with some hard work and thinking of her nonstop since 2016 shes real enough where I WILL make my dream a reality.

There are other characters too like Turbine, Axial, and Rocketina which are nods/puns to the type of things they do

the only reason why she has yellow gloves is because I was doing a lot of dish washing at the time...

Outfit was kinda inspired from Storm? I couldn't draw clothing so something more simple honestly helped me, plus I wanted my character to be black.

Creation and Inspiration Misconceptions pt2

Jettellas Jet and main inspiration came from Sparkster in Rocket Knight Adventures on the Genesis. TLDR thats my 2nd favorite game of all time.

her visor was inspired from Spaceman Spiff from Calvin and Hobbes

Contrary to what many think she was NOT inspired by Rocket Raccoon, the visor was NOT inspired from Captain Falcon BUT she was originally going to be a Coati

So I revisited the idea of Jettella again. At the time she was called "Racc Mom" then "Jetella" and now Jettella (Two T's and Two L's)

Most obvious is her name. The reason why shes called Jettella is because she wears a jet on her back.

Drawing actually made me happy again.

With that feeling and all my new friends at the time I wanted to catch up and be as good as them so I started drawing in MS paint everyday.

Drawing again.

Even tho 2020 was still as bad in some ways (lost even more family) I started using Discord and Twitter more and surrounding myself with artists and friends who were encouraging to be around.

I did random doodles off and on but towards the end of 2023 something changed.

friends I lost so I gave up on art for 8 years.

Legit the only reason why I didnt give up was because I still had the idea of Jettella in my mind but I was too frustrated I couldn't make it real yet.

go to work and when I got home sit in a dark room contemplating on killing myself because I had nothing.

I straight up lost the ability to draw ANYTHING. I was an A+ student in art reduced to nothing because anything I did creatively would remind me of the family and

shelving it because 2016 had other plans.

My grandmother died, my cousin died and a girl I asked out to prom died all in the span of a few months from each other.

This mixed with being abused and other Traumatic stuff actually broke me so bad I legit did nothing except

The bad. CW Death/Suicide

Man I even hate going back this far but the story starts in 2016 for me. The creation of her was actually an idea for a game I had because I was a big advocate for saving the environment back in highschool. I had notes but the character had no name and I ended up
