Probably nothing more exciting to start a week with than a little piece of art from the House of Anubis fandom. Not only the worldwide news about Alexandra Shipp getting the role of Storm in X-Men: Apocalypse, but as well some things that kept us on the edge of our seats that aren't really involved with the cast their selves. Wondering what we're on about? In the image below you can see the answer to this question.

Like what you saw? Above is the drawing created by a very talented artist Cory Simpson, who is now pretty well known on the social media with his amazing artworks of characters from hit shows & movies including House of Anubis, the Hunger Games, Divergent and more.
Thankfully, we got a chance to know the artist better, when he took his time to answer to some of the questions created by the Sibuna City crew. Let's start, shall we?
1. How did you start creating your work?
"I loved drawing ever since... I can't remember! My childhood was basically recorded in doodles and coloring books! However, it wasn't until my junior year in high school, when art started making a difference in my life, and now I don't think I could live without it!"
2. What/who encourages you to draw? Do you find motivation on your own, or does somebody else in your life inspire you?
"I mostly draw movie or TV show characters, so when I see a particular scene that inspires me, my brain starts coming up with hundreds of drawing ideas! Other than getting inspiration from the characters, my family is who I turn to for most of the motivation."
3. On your instagram feed, it's a little obvious you're very familiar with the show and Nathalia Ramos herself. Where you a fan of "House of Anubis" since the start of the show?
"Since the very beginning, EPISODE 1! I got a new TV the day 'House of Anubis' was premiering and I wasn't planning on watching it. But as soon as I started, I was hooked!" said Cory.
He added: "Episode one is still my favorite episode to this day! One of my favorite scenes is when Sarah gives Nina the Eye of Horus locket."

4. Are there any certain reasons why the first character from "House of Anubis" you decided to draw was Nina Martin?
"Yes, Nina and Fabian are my favorite characters! FABINA FOR LIFE, haha! I basically chose Nina because she was the chosen one. And I connected mostly with her character for being American, haha, just kidding! I just really wanted to draw the locket."
5. If you could get in contact with any of the members from the House of Anubis cast, who would it be and why?
"Nathalia Ramos! Mostly because I'd want to give her the drawing, but also because I think she has such an amazing talent! Hopefully it would rub off on me, if I was in her presence. But I'm not picky, I'd love to meet all of them. Bring it on, Sibuna!"
6. Speaking of the main actress, how did you feel when the actress Nathalia Ramos left the show? Did that stop you from watching the third season?
"I was so distraught! I mean, she was the chosen one, how could she possibly leave? Haha. But I still watched the show and loved the storyline of season 3. I really need to have a season 3 marathon soon!"
7. Considering the situation that the students have already graduated, if the show had a chance to return, would you prefer Nickelodeon ordering a reunion movie or a 4th season?
"I would much rather want to see an Anubis reunion. I don't have any interest in seeing new characters taking over the mysteries of Anubis house. I would jump for Joy (no pun intended) if I saw all the old characters finishing what they started in the first 3 seasons. I didn't care much about the new house residents who were introduced in the Touchstone of Ra, haha."
8. Are there any other mystery shows that you enjoy watching, apart from House of Anubis?
"I'm a sucker for any kind of mystery, but lately I've gotten myself addicted to ABC Family's murder mystery 'Pretty Little Liars', 'Hot Girls' & 'Psycho Stalker'. Amazing shows!"
9. Do you have any plans on drawing more characters from the show, or even objects such as the Cup of Ankh or the Mask of Anubis?
"I do! So far, I've been asked to draw Amber about a hundred of times, so I'm seriously considering it! I've also created some of the 'House of Anubis' props! I made the Eye of Horus locket and a few pieces of the Cup of Ankh."

The story of music and video star Aaliyah, whose life ended tragically in a 2001 plane crash in the Bahamas.
Lifetime has decided on a premiere date for “Aaliyah: The Princess of R&B.” The two-hour made-for-TV movie will air on Nov. 15, the cable channel announced on Thursday. Alexandra Shippwill star as the late entertainer, replacing Zendaya Coleman, who was originally cast in the role. Shipp is best known for playing KT Rush on the Nickelodeon series “House of Anubis.” and Danielle Raymond in "Drumline: A New Beat".
“The Princess of R&B,” executive produced by Howard Braunstein, Debra Martin Chase and Wendy Williams, will tell the story of Aaliyah's life, which ended when she died in an airplane crash at age 22. In addition to having to recast the lead, producers also faced unwanted controversy after casting Chattrisse Dolabaille for the part of rapper Missy Elliott and Izaak Smith as Timbaland.
Fans insisted on social media that both actors were too light-skinned for those roles. Aaliyah's family also expressed their disapproval of the project. Rachael Crawford and Sterling Jarvis are starring as Aaliyah's parents Diane and Mike Haughton in the film.
When TheWrap spoke with Jomo Hankerson, Aaliyah's cousin and president of her label Blackground Records, he expressed that his family was prepared to withhold the rights to Aaliyah's music.
Producers were still able to gain rights to re-record Aaliyah's songs, since Blackground does not own the publishing rights to her music.
The film is based on the bestselling book “Aaliyah: More Than a Woman” by former Time music editor Christopher Farley.
Mark your calendars! “Aaliyah: Princess of R&B” will air on Nov. 15 at 8/7c on Lifetime.
With a massive number of negative as well as positive comments from the audience, Lifetime has decided to air the Aaliyah Haughton biopic based on the book "Aaliyah: More Than a Woman" anyway! Wendy Williams, the producer of the film, posted a picture of Alexandra on her official verified facebook page on the 18th of September, announcing the big news that Lifetime has decided to premiere the movie this fall, the 15th of November!
The movie is based on a story of a late R&B singer Aaliyah Haughton, who died in a plane crash many years ago. Aaliyah Haughton, the princess of R&B will be played by Alexandra Shipp from House of Anubis! The movie is gaining a large number of audience by its' new trailers, photos and promos being released one after another, and we're going to share a sneak peek with you - right now!
