I just wanted to say that your art/animations are sooo good, and are heavily underrated! Thanks so much for sharing it! <3

Ps: I had an idea - Grian as a sky character?? Idk you probably have already thought/done this but wanted to bring it up just in case? :>

Aw, thank you so much. Still trying to get better at both those things. Learning animation rn and been experimenting with art styles.

Now, Sky kid or spirit Grian. Imma be real, I've been pondering such an idea for a while. I may make designs for him and other hermits, but I will say that I did cosplay as Grian in sky for a while. This was the base of it. Is this what ya meant? Cuz idk what else "Grian as a sky character" would mean

Watcher Grian, a chaotic being that tries to protect those he cares for but ends up creating trouble regardless.

Once admin of the Evo server, he watched the server until it ended and now governs the Life Series server.

I had a vision ٩(๑òωó๑)۶. Randomly thought up the idea of a Smash Bros/Fighter game but with the Hermits. DLC would include potential Empires peeps and the Life Series members.

Each fighter has a moveset referencing some iconic bits from their hermitcraft playthrough like Grian's use of TNT, Cub's vex, and more. Final hits are also tide to particular events like Gem's head dungeon or Doc's Goat machine. The assists are mobs, player/mob characters (Jelly), or items. Skins could also slightly alter the final hit as I think that would be interesting atop of skin re-texture. Battle locations are Hermit bases or events, Ren's castle with his and Grian's side on the top cheering or a TGC battle area.

Reblog for the night owls

Hermitcraft Grian designs for each season.

Now a mini rant. Main bird wings are based on his overall theme for the season, aka his main base. However, the wings can change bird species to fit the skin or arc that happens in the season. Since they do represent the elytra, the wings can be absent. Gotta have break from drawing individual feathers eventually. S9 is special as it's the only time G got more bird like outside of wings. Bird choice reasons somewhat explained below

Season 6 is a Gannet due to it being a sea bird and a good fit for one who never used elytra before until Hermitcraft. Those birds need a wind stream to fully lift off. Season 7 is obviously a Parrot, which is a staple in the fandom. Aside from Pesky Bird arc and bits, I think it further fits as a way of showing how out going G got and sounded by the next season. I mean he was quite the hermit in S6 but S7 sounded like he was more settled idk. Spore Mother wings are a Canadian Jay cuz apparently those birds eat mushrooms, unless Google is wrong lol. Season 8 had to be a Snowy Owl cuz man went full Harry Potter. Season 9 was a bit tricky as a mountain dwelling bird fits, but I felt a more mystical seeming bird fit more. S9 did much more fantasy. I eventually learned about the Fairy Wren and Rock Wren that I ended up mixing together. I like to think the Skulk slowly darken his wings and added color. Further more with the bird form, I did add thin tail feathers with a Skulk senser as the tips. This avian form felt more at home for the Empires SMP as I prefer to keep the Hermits close to their irl look or normal skin look. So unless the Hermit already has animal like features in their base skin, most are not gonna be full anthro or partial anthro (may change this headcanon in the future tho lol)
