Jumping back to watercolors for a little bit- I drew my buddy @vso-online their little Welo baby in a style I discovered on a whim that I really wanted to mess around with. Thats all!

26 and 28 for the ask game?

While im working on something else, I pondered

26. If you could live anywhere with anyone you want, where would it be, and who would you bring?

When it comes to real life places, I'd go to Canada with one or a few of my close friends. Whether those close friends are irl or online is debatable, but I'd 100% drag one of them along because I will die without them.

Fictional places are different. I probably would honestly wanna go to the Outer Wilds universe because im not afraid to die, and I think it'd be pretty. There'd be new things, and even though new things are absolutely terrifying for me, I like that.

28. What are you proudest of?

Many things. Im proudest of my friends, who go through so much shit and come out so incredible regardless. Im also proud of me for fighting so much shit that I can't control. Im proud of not letting my anxiety kill me as it could've so many times. Im proud to be as stubborn as I am, I guess, because of that. Even my own body can't get rid of me heh

21 and 25 for the soft asks?

I do be going slow huh

21. Tea, coffee, or hot cocoa

Hot cocoa. Never liked tea, only like the smell of coffee, hot cocoa for the win

25. If your soul was a color, what would it be?

Purple is my favorite color, but I dont think it'd be that... yellow is the opposite of purple, but it symbolizes joy and such, which isn't right either. I think it might honestly be green or brown because of what both of those symbolize, but purple is always a nice color so.

For the soft ask: question 1 if you like!

1. What song makes you feel better?

Im finally given the time to answer! So- im big on game soundtrack, and Outer Wilds definitely isn't an exception, BUT I like myself some Meadow soundtrack. Hell, all of the shelter game soundtracks are quite calming and nostalgic to listen to, so they're at the top of my list definitely. As for actual songs, im not sure. Maybe Rises the Moon by Liana Flores?

I made a physical hcs page ;; very scared to share it, but we step very far out of comfort zones here I guess

I wrote the hcs out below the cut! My handwriting is not pleasant to read so LMAO

Eyes:

Hearthian eyes have membranes over them to keep dust and grime out. They can easily go blind without them.

Their eyes are also very reflective because of how large and wet they are. And they often have eyebrow spots!

Hatchlings hatch with white eyes because the membrane is still thick and milk-colored, so until it clears and they can see- white eyes! They also open their eyes shortly after hatching (minutes to hours after)

Skin:

Hearthian skin is smooth, similar to some sort of salamander with spots. Fresh hatchlings have no markings, but gain them at first shed- more come after. When hatchlings grow, they shed a lot! Once they stop growing, they stop shedding.

Shedding is also where skin conditions are noticed. Things like the inability to shed, pattern shifts (Gossan!), drastic tone shifts, especially easy scarring (like scarring from sheds), and pattern anomalies (light spots rather than dark; Chert!)

The hands and feet have very thick skin, like amphibious paw pads. The feet are more hardened, so Hearthians sometimes choose to walk around barefoot- doesn't hurt! And the hands are less rough, but still tough.

Scars:

Hearthians have an insane ability to heal physical ailments and things that should probably kill them, but they scar very easily. They also have scars akin to belly buttons from egg yolk shit.

Jewelry:

Jewelry is common and made by no one in particular out of temporary materials (things that rot away, not metal). Earrings are the exception, but only the part in the ear is metal.

Jewelry given to SOs is usually also temporary, but the personal item inside is not. Like pendants and shiny rocks and such.

"It's not fair! It's not fair that it happened to me! It's not fair that the whole world is on my shoulders! I didn't even do anything- it should've been someone else. It should've been HAL or HORNFELS, someone with more brains than I ever had! It's not fair..

...It's not fair..."

[insert-image-here]

Woo, it's been a while.. I'm making stuff, mostly for my enjoyment and my friends, so less stuff to post, but I am here. Have some poor lighting hatchlings for it ;;

I got new acrylic markers! But- I've had to step back from essentially existing due to such horrid anxiety issues, so im not sure how often I will post, but I want to! It's just harder for me at the moment. I could possibly show WIPs if that's wanted, but I guess it just depends on what I feel in the end.

But after that, take care! Im working on things..

Pyrite as a.. late birthday gift to myself ;;

I would've wanted to get this done on my actual birthday, but I came up with the idea day of and it takes me at least two business days to complete things...

No one else was gonna draw them, so I wanted to! I do like them..

[insert-image-here]

Day at the beach with the girlies except its just haired Gabbro and the beach is just a fan

[insert-image-here]

Goober time

[insert-image-here]

Like a slug...

[insert-image-here]

I'm considering making pages for all of the Hearthians + travelers so I can properly figure out how I wanna draw them (and because there's still a solid amount of characters I haven't drawn before)..

Who would yall wanna see first? I might continue asking who's next as I finish these - if I succeed in doing so - or I might not, but at least right now, I need a starting point. So, who's the favorite?

[insert-image-here]

After... two weeks... maybe more or less because time is an illusion, ive finished it.

Full thing with my little baby hatchling Pyrite. Im trying so hard to keep making good stuff but the ideas are not flowing rn so please bear with my slowness. I'm working on it I swear

[insert-image-here]

It's been like 5 business days, so I am very late BUT I got tagged by @jennithedragon and @dekkiidan so thank you! Im very flattered..

Favorite color:

Purple ;.; generally any purple is nice, but darker and more dull purples are easier on my eyes and look very pretty. Same with light and dull purples.. languid lavender is nice.

Currently reading:

..I barely read anything. I dont struggle with reading, but it's very boring for me in a lot of cases. And anxiety inducing for some reason. Not sure why

Last song:

Everybody Talks - Neon Trees because of a friend. I curse this friend wholeheartedly and they know exactly who they are. Their stupid Gorphy song...

Last film:

Rogue One. No comment- I've watched it so much and.. K-2 my beloved *sob*

Last series:

I think this is self explanatory considering my last film- Andor. It wasn't bad.

Sweet/Salty/Savory:

Sweet things cause blisters in my mouth so salty. My body craves sodium even if it'll kill me, and it might be because of the daily ramen when I was a child.

Tea or Coffee:

Neither. Tea doesnt interest me and coffee is kinda eh. But! Coffee smells good so I think coffee if I had to choose.

Working on:

A lot... I'm slowing down art right now to save myself from more mental and physical pain. I still have a comic that'll more than likely stay a WIP indefinitely just because of how it's affected me but I might share it eventually..

I'm also working on possibly adding short stories to what I make if it fits, and if I feel like it since comics clearly might not be the best for me. I'm making stuff very slowly :>

Thank you for bringing me along! I don't know enough people but.. I'll tag @vso-offline, @motelrdd, @radiooceanmoth, @tadporridge, and @shiningsapph1re out of spite, and anyone else who'd like to join! There's no pressure- and I'm slow so apologies if you've already done it. Take care :)

Hatched for the stars and the stars alone...

I am.. still not feeling well- and probably wont for a while. I'm trying to continue to make things, but for a multitude of reasons, I have no joy in art at the moment. Also means I'm not a huge fan of anything I'm producing. Things should get better soon, though, so I'll continue trying. Enjoy, and take care fellas
