I've recently played with Biddobams with the Warrick mod, and honestly, became my favorite OC and modded character, it's really good! Here's some Warrick sillies

Link for the mod: Steam Workshop::Warrick, the Unsung Hero

Hey! You! Do you have a Toyhouse account? Do you want to hear more about my little freako Wyneer?

"No, Tane," you cry, tears in your eyes, "I've heard quite enough about Wyneer, I'd really like to hear about your other OCs-"

WELL I HAVE NEWS FOR YOU! BECAUSE YOU CAN LOG INTO TOYHOU.SE RIGHT NOW AND READ ABOUT WYNEER AND HIS MASKS! ALL OF THEM! IN EXCRUCIATING DETAIL!

ALL YOU HAVE TO DO IS PROMISE TO BE NICE TO ME! BE NICE TO ME! BE NICE TO ME! PLEASE BE NICE TO ME!! PLEASE BE NICE TO ME!!!

I have dozens of pics of Wyneer to go through and credit to people so I'm sorry if you've drawn him and your art isn't there! I'm busy with other stuff but it will go up eventually! Also I plan to do my other OCs after Artfight maybe. THANKS.

(If you have a slow internet connection, it may take a long time for the images to load... there's a lot of them. I'm going to replace them with lower resolution images but it will take a bit of time and I'd like to release this today. Sorry!)

Very special art of a very special birthday boy.

@tanetime's Wyneer turned 5 today and I wanted to draw something to celebrate it!

Mod Design Feedback - Ink Black

Hello! I know my blog doesn't get a huge amount of traffic these days due to my inactivity, but I have something about Wyneer's mod I'm uncertain about and I'd like to get opinions since I know people like this mask a lot!

Ink Black has two planned abilities. You might have seen me mention one on his bio - his "Attune" ability. The other is from Wyneer's planned skilltree. They are:

Attune (base kit): you can right click an area to "attune" to it. This places a marker. You can then open a rift to teleport back to this marker later, erasing it. This ability is functionally identical to Wanda's Rift Watch aside from its impermanence.

"Shadow Tag" (Skilltree): with a Void Robe and Shadow Reaper or Maul equipped, you can right click a distant target to trap them, teleport to their location (via a little visual flair like hopping through a rift) and perform a powerful attack. You can only use this attack once in a while.

I like the abilities the way they are, but I've gotten feedback indicating people might want them swapped around and I'd like to get a feel for how large of an opinion this is for people taking the perks at face value, as I'm now starting to work on this mask.

I drew @tanetime's ocs with this meme. Why? Funny.

I now feel safe saying that if Wyneer's mod gets finished there is a 95% chance he will be released to the public workshop.

(Of course that relies on me finishing him)

I don't know if I'll ever finish the other characters I began to mod because I'd like to move on to original projects, but people seem to really like Wickham so I'd probably let people play them too if I pick up their mod again. The circumstances that originally made them impossible to mod are actually not applicable any more, but it still relies on me being able to do art! So! We'll see!!

Short answer: extremely unlikely my mods will be public.

Long answer: the possibility of waking up one day and seeing “Don’t Starve OP WYNEER GUIDE” in my recommended videos with 20k views is a nightmare scenario that would make me want to wade into the ocean and never return.

Longer answer: I put my whole ass into making my little freaks, but I make them for me. I think if I made them public and they somehow became even slightly popular, I would get very stressed out by feedback that would ask me to change aspects about the character I enjoy (like difficulty.)

Wyneer especially is very personal to me, but he is cringe. It is in his nature to be cringe. I have seen enough shit online to know people would take him at face value and think that I was also cringe, when I am in on the joke and doing it on purpose.

Also his code is very bad. I cannot allow his mod to fall into the hands of anyone competent enough at coding to realise how fucked up he is.

Maybe one day I’ll make a fork of my mods that have better coding, more optimised stuff, and have some of these elements sanded off. I really don’t like being percieved by people in any capacity so it totally depends.

But I could also just force everyone who wants to play Wyneer to add me on Steam and play DST with me by holding him hostage and that is infinitely funnier.

How are you surviving the sprite redraws with carpal tunnel and over 1000 pics to recreate man (/genq)

I take very long breaks and draw only when the pain in my hand is mild. I think I remade basic Wyneer's sprites doing a little bit at a time over like... five or so days?? And it took me like two weeks until I felt good enough to draw again. Unfortunately my job is very demanding on my hands so my default is pain and I just try not to make it worse.

(If you ever have carpal tunnel, buy a wrist splint - not a shitty fabric artist glove one, a real medical one with a metal support in it to angle your palm upwards - and sleep in that fucker. It makes such a huge difference.)

I have the workload Wyneer split up in such a way that I feel physically/mentally okay committing to redrawing him. It's like this:

Redraw Wyneer's basic sprites

Make placeholders for the masks using their old art + Wyneer's new art

Redraw the mask who needs new art for a gameplay thing (<- WE ARE HERE)

Then the masks who have tweaked designs (Boutey and Saffron)

Then the masks who have fugly art (Crimson and Lay)

Then the masks who look ok but old (Blake and Azure)

I'm going to work on the masks one by one and just push their new art when they get done, even if I only do one every few weeks. Once Boutey and Saffron are done I don't care so much about the rest. I also decided last night that Nightmare and Radiant look so good still I will probably not even redraw them, which removes A LOT OF SPRITES from the equation.

Believe me, if anything holds up his mod and makes me want to die it is not the art, it is the strings. Getting to do sprites again is fun compared to writing the masks saying something slightly different about the same thing a dozen times.

he took a bath

isn't he sparkly clean

Wait what was that about Wyneer’s messed up mouth and eating what-

Also are you ok. I know it’s been like two months but I don’t check your blog often tbh and your tags mentioned hopital 🥺

Wyneer's face got reposessed by the Taking Your Wish Too Literally and Fulfilling it Ironically™ police (read: Maxwell, accidentally) but boy's gotta eat. It turns out when your face is made out of nightmare fuel that's a whole lot of real estate where a mouth can go!

Also, thank you for asking about my health! I really wish I had something positive to say about that - I was actually going to make a post about my absence but I was waiting for news first. I still don't have news, but I'm going to answer this ask now under a readmore so that I don't look dead.

While I'm going to omit a lot of information this post is kind of a downer.

I'm not going to get into specifics because it was pretty awful, but my health over the course of 2024 deteriorated pretty badly. I was busy with getting promoted at work and trying to manage my carpal tunnel getting much worse (both bc it got bad and bc I had an injection to treat it that somehow made the pain in my hand 10x worse), so I kind of just... didn't realise how sick I was getting?? Until about May/June where I kind of hit a wall where I was like "wow, this weird illness I am ignoring is becoming really hard to ignore!"

IRL was busy and stressful so... I put off going to the doctor for months. I have a history of developing intolerances to new things suddenly so I figured something was making me sick and kept experimenting with removing things from my diet and environment until my health improved. We thought we found it - we suspected I was celiac for a bit, but, uh...

Ironically days after finally going to the doctor to get my symptoms checked out, I got woken up at 4am by what felt like something in my gut exploding and I ended up in the hospital. They kept me there for a week then discharged me because 1. while I was in extreme pain I evidently wasn't dying 2. in the process of getting misdiagnosed I got triaged to a hospital that didn't have a gastroenterology department and they had no means to diagnose or treat me.

We still don't actually know what is wrong, we've only narrowed it down; I've been on a waiting list to see someone about it since December. I'm in a lot of pain 24/7, have a lot of nasty symptoms, and feel lethargic all of the time. It sucks. I don't really have the energy to draw or make posts.

I really wish I had a happier answer for you. I'm sorry. But uh, that's the gist of why my blog has been extremely quiet.

On the bright side, I stopped working on my DST stuff pretty much the entirety of 2024, but back in December I picked modding back up and it's been fun. I'm very excited about it. I've just been too tired to make posts - I do want to get back into that at some point though.

If I get a prognosis that indicates that my absence is going to be lengthier I will probably make a post about it.

Penblwydd hapus, @tanetime!

A belated birthday gift as life got in the way, but it was totally worth it in the end. I love Wyneer's verdant so I drew a vignette of he.

[tanetime]

how does he eat

LMAO

Left is correct he has to shove it up his mask. ""Thankfully"" because his face underneath is messed up it can become a gaping shadowy maw large enough to accomidate live prey any food. You just gotta lift up the hatch and shove it in there! (Art by my friend Melankoolic, thank you for having the foresight to draw this)

His masks seem to have mouths that can open, but they are for display purposes only.

[tanetime]

Birthday gift for my bestie @tanetime !!!! :D

surprise speedpaint! pray for me the arm and hand with the plate was the death of me-

[tanetime]

bro are there any DST discords that don't have like 6000 people in them and actually have art/OC discussion places, legit I'm already in some busy ones and every time I debate actually talking there I see people arguing over game mechanics i don't care about or making fun of randos in the community like
