🌙 Pearlypop! 🌙

Rai (🍂🐾) is usually on designer duty, but I had to put the comic down for one second and do Pearl myself. I wanted to add more pins to her bag but I ran out of ideas sobs

I know people usually go with the moth motifs for her but I really needed her to be a bird (for reasons), so owl it is,,

man the early spau lore was wild looking back on it with, like, knowledge of info that was established way later

like the initial deal with grian's s6 shadow, jigsaw, was that he was such a bastard that grian would summon him just to kick the shit out of him (and, yknow, get duped gear) but also hid that motivation from the other hermits until jigsaw developed a power and became A Whole New Kind Of Problem

..........anyway at some point WAY later it got discussed that the death threshold for shadows to develop an ability is, like, 100 deaths

which means grian did that at least 100 times

[spores-and-petals]

Yeah so uh

Safe to say I forgot-

(I was also a lil busy so it's not all 100 % my memory's fault LOL)

BUT!

i'll try to make it up to yall with a little somethin somethin-

THE SKY SILBINGS OF HCSPAU!!!

(aka me coloring that one sketch i did, bc Ari requested it)

and just so i don't give you a single breadcrumb and leave, let me introduce you to!

THE BEAUTIFUL WIFE AND UGLY HUSBAND (/j)

(Both my and Ari's art here ofc ofc, I'm not gonna take the full credit here)

S&P (HCSPAU) Masterpost!

--- What is Spores & Petals? ---

It's a Hermitcraft AU comic of our interpretations of the Mycelium War from S7! Some things might appear as they happened, other things might not, it's a fanmade AU after all. It is a passion project, so updates may be really fast or really slow depending on how busy our lives are.

--- S&P Contains Hermitshipping ---

This comic is one big Desert Duo (Scar x Grian) slow burn, with a few other ships sprinkled around in the background. Any comic parts that contain said pairs in a romantic setting/implied to have a romantic interaction will be, of course, tagged accordingly. To add to the point above, these ships are about the characters they portray, not the CC themselves. Always make sure to tag posts appropriately and respect a CC's boundaries (never @ them in posts like these, be respectful etc)!!! S&P does NOT and will NEVER contain any explicit/sexual themes whatsoever. Just fluff! (and angst). Overall, the shipping content that will be in S&P is relatively tame.

'Sup. Progress shots be upon yee.

Been a while.

Uni kicked me where the sun don't shine for the last weeks of 2nd year, but we persevere! (￣^￣)ゞ One more week and I'm free. (for the summer. falls over and dies)

Besides preparing for Artfight (as one does around this time of year, go attack me i attack back), I can proudly say I've been on a roll with sketches for part 4, as in like, they're all done!!! Whaaaat???

"Ari from spores and petals dot tumblr dot com whaaat?" Yeah that means we're like. We're almost there yeah. Gives us a few weeks <3

Also while I'm here I just want to get sappy for a moment and thank everyone who's read the first 3 parts so far, so sorry they take a long time to make, it's me, I'm the problem. Rai thumbnails very fast, but my hands and attention span can only do so much (シ_ _)シ

[spores-and-petals]

hello and welcome to today's little sketch dump where I - co-creator Rai - throw some paints at the digital wall and hope something sticks.

i'm slowly collecting doodles and sketches of the hermits, either for practice or just putting some future (or random) ideas down. because as you all soon will learn, my memory is absolute garbage and what isn't written down, or drawn, will not be remembered~

anyway, stay tuned for more 🍁 Doodle Dumps with Rai (TM) 🍁which will come whenever my little peanut brain decides is the good time to share some pretty hermit sketches :D

Sending off good evening vibes is -🍂🐾

[spores-and-petals]

Countdown!

[spores-and-petals]

I (🍂🐾) have been working on the character references and i've been adding little sketchy portaits to the sheets to fill up the space on the page. So i thought it'd be nice to share some of them here :D

Be on the lookout for when i get to dropping some more sketchy portraits (or maybe the references themselves 👁️)

The ~Spores and Petals~ work ethic be like

Aka Ari's two moods during the making of the comic
