Remember when I said I was determined to complete Hermit-A-Day May this year?

whoops! I completely got ambushed by work and projects and fell off the train i fear TwT I also got hit with a mad lack of motivation to get art done in the past few days, I've just been so tired. I'm hoping to catch back up, but it's a big maybe right now, who knows...I might just end up doing it late? We'll see!

But yeah, thats the situation with me and HADM right now, either way I've had fun this first couple weeks, and I'm excited to see the art everyone makes!

HADM Day 11! Cub! Silly stuff under the cut

I only just now realized this is a very "lets take ibuprofen together" type pose...

so uh, take this LMAO

[existentialarcade]

HADM day 10! Gem! super simple one today cause I was exhausted and didn't have the energy to make a fully rendered piece LMAO

[existentialarcade]

HADM day 9! Outfit Swap!

This is the stupidest thing I've ever drawn /pos I had the idea for this when I realized I don't tend to give Grian pants when I draw him, cause y'know, bird legs. So anyone who swapped with Grian wouldn't have pants to swap into. And who would be the kind of person to do that? Well. We all know who got yelled at to put his clothes on in Third Life...

Anyways, I hope y'all enjoy this stupid doodle, i love it so much LMAO

[existentialarcade]

Day 8 of HADM! Hypno!!

i shall be rambling under the cut :D

WHOOOOOOO HYPNO!

fun fact: i had NEVER drawn hypno prior to this piece. like ever. which is honestly a shame, but now i've fixed that! i have officially drawn hypno!

Because this is a first design I can imagine it will change over time, but in the meantime i do really like this even if its super simple. I kinda just went through my usual first design process, which really is just looking at the mcyt's typical skin, fanart of the mcyt, and then running with those two and whatever vibe I'm getting.

But yeah! tbh i LOVE this one, it turned out SO GOOD!! the lighting especially im in love with for this one

[existentialarcade]

Day 7 of HADM! Bdubs!!

As always, i shall be rambling under the cut :D

i love LOVE drawing bdubs, i do it so much at this point, and i actually have a fair amount of traditional art of him lmao. i even drew bdubs recently for a different mcyt event (mcytplatonicheros)

now with bdubs i couldnt NOT do a horse, so naturally- horse. i would like to thank heroforge again for being such a good reference tool cause MAN i have no practice drawing animals tbh....

anyways, bdubs. some of his design is carried over from his life series skins (the headband, the white hair) but i also carried over the super fluffy cloak and the pink flowers from my friend's bdubs cosplay! He also gets a green shirt cause i like how it looks lol

[existentialarcade]

DAY 6 of HADM! Mumboooooooo!

Rambles under the cut!

a bit late to posting but i did it!

I LOVE drawing mumbo, I frankly don't do it enough lmao. For this one I wanted some redstone stuff, but I also wanted it to be a little bit less minecraft-y, so that led to the redstone dust being like, actual dust :D

I also like the super strong lighting coming off the redstone, I think it looks especially cool! Overall I don't have a ton to say about this one, but i really like it!

[existentialarcade]

Day 5 of Hermit-a-day May! False!

As always, rambles under the cut :D

GOD i love how this one turned out. So SO much. The lighting turned out so good, and I love the pose and just- man, this one is my favorite so far.

I mostly just stuck to false's skin, since I haven't drawn false a ton, but I did give her a falconry glove! My thoughts were that in her mc skin she has very long gloves, and i know a lot of people draw her as an avian or with wings, so- falconry glove it is! Let's just imagine she's waiting for her bird to land :D

In other news I am quickly running out of prepared pieces since I haven't had the time to make more, so I'm gonna get back on the grind this morning o7

That's all from me today, happy Hermit May, everyone!

Day 4 of Hermit-A-Day May! Alt Hermits!

I'm a sucker for Hotguy so naturally I had to draw him lol

Rambles under the cut :D

gahhhhhhh hotguy my beloved

it has been far too long since i've drawn hotguy, so this was a nice refresher on one of my favorite designs! why is hotguy on the run you might ask? ...who knows! really i just wanted to do some more dynamic poses, and running was one of the first i found. Originally he was going to be running from cuteguy, but i liked the lighting bits of this better.

this is actually the third or fourth iteration of my hotguy design, since i just keep changing it lmao. at this point I think I'm pretty happy with the design, so I wont be surprised if it ends up sticking around for a while :D I actually put a lot of thought into this design, trying to use some pieces of what actual archers use nowadays, along with more super-hero-y elements. He also specifically has a compound bow, rather than a more simple bow like the ones in minecraft, which is why there's more than one string :D

anyways, that's all from me for today, happy hermit may!

Summary:

It is not the first time, but it truly should have been the last. 

And yet he rises again, just as he did before, with a hole in his heart the size of a kingdom. 

Bdubs thinks this new spin on the King Ren bit could use some sunlight and maybe a nap. And could Ren communicate a bit for once in his life? This really was too sudden…

Or; The Red King in Hermitcraft, my fic for round one of the Mcyt Platonic Heros event.
