✨ The Mysterious Holographer! 😎🤌🤌

Alpha-17 is a dangerous man! 👀 If his mission is taking the best holopics, he‘ll succeed 🫡 Nobody is safe, no excuses! 😳 He even got the latest awesome shit holopad from GAR goods!

The reason why he’s the man to succeed this challenging mission, because he’s most likely the only one of the GAR that is actually able to force convince superiors like the grumpy Marshal Commander Fox and growling Commander Wolffe into a Commander Squad group holopic despite them being gothic styled! 😎✨

The conspiracy around the Mysterious Holographer is revealing now and you‘ll find a little gift and the reason for this collab under the gallery of Alpha‘s so far holoshots! 👀

Being the best of the best of the best (and having more fun than he would ever admit) means also that Alpha-17 uses the holopad like his weapons – fast and unerring! 🎯 He takes snapshots in the very moment when needed and will absolutely indulge the most fun and silly ones in the quiet of his office after the GAR Goth Night!

The following link leads to a shared Google file with a free-to-use transparent holopic frame artwork in DIN A4 size and neat printable quality (300 ppi), that I drew based on the design of the group holopic of Cody, Rex and the Domino Twins! 🤩🫶 I‘d love to be tagged, but no pressure – it’s a gift 💝

🔗 Holopicture frame overlay

Maybe some artist has a vision of what shenanigans Alpha might hunt with his holopad? 👀✨📸 You can use the transparent holopic-frame as an overlay to give your artwork a snapshot-, selfie- or group pic-like style – the "holopic"-finish! ✨📸 If you tag #mysterious holographer snapshot your holopic-artwork can be added together with your tag to another big post of Alpha's holopic-collection of the GAR Goth Night 😎 Unsubtle-unsubtle call to art action! 🤩

The reason for all of this 🥰

Marshal Commander Fox at the GAR Goth Night by @ghostymarni

The reason for this conspiracy is the person who started GAR Goth Night: Marni 👏🎉

She casually dropped this goth Commander Fox and didn't realise we'd go completely crazy over him and the concept of a goth-themed GAR event.

When more and more clones and OCs started to join in, none of us could have imagined how popular the night would get! We wanted to add some more mystery and gothspiracy to add some plot to the night, to show our appreciation to Marni, for her amazing ability to design and gothify anything Star Wars related! 🖤✨🌹⛓️🦇✨

Marni, thank you for hyping us up and getting this off the ground! 🤩 This wouldn't have been possible without you! This one's for you! 🫶

My entry for the DTIYS challenge by @lorbalith

Congratulations on reaching 10k followers on Instagram! I hope you'll continue to amaze us with your art (and not just with Bagginshield; your Wolverine and Deadpool are awesome too 🔥).

P.S. It was mentioned that we could add something in the background, so I decided to include some of my favorite headcanons to the reshirement AU. The idea that Fili and Kili used to laugh throughout their childhood and, as adults, grumbled about Uncle Thorin always being so responsible and protective of them, promising themselves they would never be like that. But then, when they saw this tiny-small-little hobbit, they ended up becoming extremely responsible uncles themselves. (Thorin will definitely gloat about this in a letter to Dis). Also, there’s a headcanon that Hobbits and Dwarves have different ideas about modesty. Dwarves believe you can marry whoever and however you like, but all signs of affection should be kept behind closed doors. Meanwhile, Hobbits took a long time to get used to the fact that Bilbo Baggins brought a male Dwarf into the house, but they have absolutely no objections to hugs or kisses in public.

Getting over my fear of posting this was CRAZY but here we go

MARX RPG

I’ve been working on this for days, made an accidental (The nova itself) and purposeful reference (the background) to Birth of a Wish by itsquakey (you should go check em out their art is SICK /pos)

- More ramblings below -

I wanted to make an RPG type thing with Marx for a while. Originally I was going to make an actually playable one but then realized I don’t have the time or knowledge to actually do that so I turned around and made it a video. Marx actually wasn’t the first idea I have for who the video would be about.

The first character I’d considered was actually Taranza but then… I’d have to draw Taranza and I was not in the mood. So I went with Marx.

The reference to Birth of a Wish (via the Nova specifically) wasn’t intended but someone I’d shown the video to pointed it out and I couldn’t leave it out in mention. The actually intended reference (the background) was specifically placed there because original all the video was going to be was some sample text and audio and then I got carried away and by that point I was over 200 images in on CapCut and unwilling to turn around.)

Where the plot was gonna go from here included the Nova having something to do with the rain in dreamland and being a small part of one of popstar’s larger moon’s or something of the sort meaning Kirby and Marx would have to find all the pieces to this “planet”. At least that’s what I imagined LMAO 😅

Note: Itsquakey if you ask me to take this down because of the references to your work I will without questions!

Last thing! I wanted to mention two posts I’ve seen that have done something similar that I think you should also check out!

Marx’s Fun Shop: while working on this I found that video and thought “wow! We even used the same music! That’s super freaking awesome!” The art here is amazing, the way Marx is written is also cool! You should go check this out!!!

Magolor’s Item Shop: A series of images in an RPG style that feature Magolor specifically! These are really cool and also what kinda struck the idea! They’re definitely worth checking out!

DxP REWRITE - Jubilife

Just putting it out there now - I’ll be lifting shots from the amazing BDSP artbook to show off 1) how awesome the concept art was, & 2) what we almost got in-game, something more like Sword / Shield (DANGIT 🥲).

I also used screenshots I took to help draw out backgrounds, which was very useful as we go back to that time period to see what Mizumi’s up to.

The benefit of being someone who played Legends Arceus before BDSP is that I can look at buildings & landmarks with fresh eyes. The first moment I saw the Trainer’s School, I thought of a repainted Galaxy HQ with all the rooms & offices being converted into classrooms.

Speaking of schools, in case you missed Scarlet x Violet, Uva & Naranja Academies became one school with 2 wings (Uva & Naranja) after the separate timelines Ansy & Ikrit were on converged

🔼 Diamond x Pearl REWRITE 🔽

<<Previous / Next >>

PS: a couple screenshots to help illustrate my HC - obviously they developed the design in Legends Arceus, but the elements are there. I can easily see Kamado’s office being the principal’s office, Cyllene’s office being adminstrations, flanked by the science lab (Professor Laventon’s study) & nurses’ office (infirmary), etc. 🏫

Also, with this theory, the Pokémon center is in the same spot as where you also go to rest up your team: your quarters in PLA!

Finally i could finish my perfect love oc MIMI after being so passionate about it w my friends i really adore games like this And make silly au's between us hehehe when i first discovered it i made people around me play it too it's really awesome so yeah here she's after my precious passion for omori i now have two fandoms that i adore so much and have OCS w them!!

MIMI :3

I'm sorry if it's not really creative or accurate at all but i made her right after i played the game so i could enjoy it w my friends and draw etc i don't know if it'll get like big attention like kiki but still i adore all the support ｡⁠:ﾟ⁠(⁠;⁠´⁠∩⁠`⁠;⁠)ﾟ⁠:⁠｡

a little more detailed version down below (the milo chibis belong to the game devs)

also my other friends included who has ocs (i told them to make :p)

matt: @star-achlys

yuna: @captryuhikari

She has the same bday as Kiki and me i love giving my bdays to my ocs so i never forget

And some sprites I've made to use (⁠≧⁠▽⁠≦⁠)

i hope she's cool enough I'm gonna cry it already stresses me so much i don't wanna ruin anything she's so precious to me and i adore the game I'll probably be attached to the game for a long time and not be able to forget it just like omori it has my heart too now i hope it's not bad or weird of me i just feel a bit nervous like really nervous

perfect love vn by: @perfectlovevn (im sorry for the tag i feel so awkward i never talked directly w game devs through any posts nor smth similar so I'm scared of messing smth up while trying my best to leave a good impression 😭)

milo doodles and also the style belongs to them it's so unique

this is again includes ocxoc maybe slight ocxcanon but I don't know it probably will be with premilo bc he's the closest to basil hehuwhsh 😭💔thanks for the amazing experience i won't forget this fandom ever 😋

i also tried a fanart of premilo to improve my skills of this precious art style (I'm not good in writing in character forgive me hwaha)

AAA IM GOING INSANE OKAY ENOUGH IM CRYING I HOPE IT'S GOOD ENOUGH YAY FUCKING PERFECT LOVE IS AWESOME💥

and no having another oc does NOT MEAN I'M LEAVING THE OMORI FANDOM 💔

OUGH FINALLY FINISHED MY FIRST PROPER FANART FOR THE @omorithedreamermod PRELUDE… AT LAST!!!! Had this done for a while but kept putting off doing the background. Not the biggest fan of how it turned out in the end but we BALL!!!!!

Anyways. Below is a sappy little ramble about how much this mod means to me so. 👇👇

I’m not sure how to begin this without sounding REALLY corny, but this mod means the absolute world to me. It is my genuine opinion that it is equal in quality, effort, passion, talent and impact to the base game so far.

I’ve been in the modding community for omori for a while (since late 2021 I believe?) and I’ve never been actually active in it, but as I watched more mods being developed I always wanted to see something like the dreamer- a faithful continuation that both felt like omori, but had its own identity too. When I first played the demo back in December, I felt genuinely overjoyed at what I was playing, because the dreamer achieves what it sets out to do so so perfectly- it is extremely faithful to the game.

Every little detail, dialogue and secret brought me back to experiencing omori for the first time all the way back in 2021. Feeling for these characters in the same raw way I did back when I experienced their story for the first time years ago, in a way I never thought I could again. Seeing the game I loved, the characters I loved, the world I had fixated on being given the promise of rejuvenation in that demo brought me indescribable excitement- and then the prelude came out.

And the prelude was even BETTER. I’ve mentioned it a few times, but for the prelude, I actually decided to record my play through, something I’d never done before! It was mainly for note-taking purposes for analysis (expect a big one on stranger at some point…), but I’ve found that for the past couple weeks when I’ve been listening back to those recordings, listening to my commentary, I can’t help but notice the pure emotion and joy in each thing I said. This mod made me SO happy I can’t even put it into words.

Otomerson, and everyone else that worked on this masterpiece, I actually cannot express how amazing and brilliant each and every one of you are. You brought this game which I didn’t know I could love and appreciate any more than I already did new life for me, and you let me, and so many others, play it for the first time again, experience the story and observe these wonderful characters for the first time again, cry for the first time again. It was so moving, so fun, so beautiful- like GOD I sound SO CORNY but it’s the truth. You are so AWESOME. Be SO proud of what you’ve made!!!!!

I’m not sure how to end this- I don’t want it to be too long and too weird and sappy hehe but I haven’t felt like this since I first completed omori. The dreamer is a masterpiece and if you haven’t played it yet I HIGHLY recommend you do- you won’t regret it! I’m UNFATHOMABLY excited for December- I can’t wait to see what otomerson and the team make, and to finish this familiar yet new experience. Remember to pace yourself, everyone!!!! You’re all amazing!!!! :D

Anyways… this is DEFINITELY not gonna be the last the dreamer art I make so hopefully the next few will be better SHSJSJSJ I just didn’t want this simmering for too long… also here’s the lads without the background and lighting!!! Since I actually really like how they turned out…

Look at them!!! The sillies!!!!!!!

Anyways. Long post. Sorry HEJDJSJ. I’ll make more stupid doodles of these guys in the near future but for now here they are!!! Woo hoo!!!! Go play the dreamer!!!!!

[tagarilaghost]

Hiya you three :>

I did a little something :D The short version is that I really like the content you create <3

The long version and me literally pouring my heart out is under the cut :> oopsies my apologies for it even getting so long!

From left to right:

Darcy & Pearl belong to @neferirkarekakai

Just Darkrai & Anne belong to @anirritant

Ark & Twig belong to @sincerely-sofie

So two of you might already know, but I will say it again either way. I had a really rough time around the end of September 2024 with stress that left me almost no free time and meant constant work to do. It was one hell of a month that I had to power through and your content and fanfictions were like the only things that kept me going and powering through it all. I remember the days when I scrolled through Irri‘s blog reading all the silly ramblings and looking at all the cool content and art that you created <333! Then continued to check ao3 and found Sofie‘s fanfic filling the little breaks I could give myself at the beginning of all that stress. Once I finished it all I still remember it giving me such a push to finish one of the many huge things I had to complete in that time. And during the peak and end of it all Nefer‘s fic helped me carry the burden of everything coming together and trying to swallow me whole.

I must say most of these days are just such a blur cause I don’t remember anything else than working and reading, but I know I once laid there on the couch in the middle of the night, pmd music playing in the background and reading Avol. It was one of those moments that happened with all three of your works where I could just drift off and unwind free from the stuff I had to do. So yeah :) I finished everything, am still here and kicking! I think not a lot of people actually speak it out loud when someone encourages them, helps them through a rough time or just in general makes them happy :) I always wanted to let others know when their work is just amazing, so thank you three.

Thank you so much. From the bottom of my heart. Keep being awesome <3

also here's a silly extra:

[lilybug-02]

I mean, if you make some more of Dewi's adventures, I'll probably make music based off it. There's just something about your art style or your writing that really flips a switch in my head. Case in point- I reread your "Lost and Lucky" comic and came up with this.

I don't know, it was like, looking at your comic, it was obvious what instruments I would choose, how they would merge together, etc etc. You make it a lot easier than it usually is for me to create music based off of characters, stories, etc.

You're really inspiring, and my vote is definitely for a hollow knight sequel, partly for the selfish reason of wanting to make more music based off your art. Hope you liked my little piece!

Okay, again, I am so so sorry for the late response. I've been looking at this for DAYS trying to find the right words to express just how beautiful and kind this is. Genuinely still cannot understand how awesome it is that my work inspired you so much to compose music and draw an amazing fan art. And like AHHHHHH OH MY GOD. The bell tone of the song mixed with string instruments is so precious. It gives me the impression of a what a background song would sound like while reading it like a children's book. And then the artwork. OFIbaklsj dbgkfjabdfgfasdf its so cute. they are HUGGING. LIKE

I just. AHHHHH Seriously wanted to thank you. This is so cool. And I am totally making a Dewi Part 2! <3 Just for u

[galaxytoons]

Have fun! I’ve had a great time with you all :) And of course you can still draw for the DTIYS even though it’s over for fun, I’d still love to see your versions of this! <3 thanks again for 200, I guess now almost 300 followers! I’m really glad you all enjoy what I do as much as I enjoy it.

[zybynarx]

This year for the DCRB, I decided to create a Hades & Persephone AU! I drew this up, and then got the awesome opportunity to work with @niks-fics who wrote an absolutely AMAZING story to accompany it! Go check it out here!

Seriously, you won't regret it! She did such a great job with the world building and the characters, that it instantly hooked me! I laughed, I cried, I laughed again, so many awesome emotions from a fic! Thanks so much for picking my drawing and putting so much hard work into this!

Huge shout out to the mods who run the @deancasreversebang event every year! Make sure to go check out the other awesome works that came out!

Additional art is below the "keep reading", but they feature spoilers for the fic itself! So go read it, then come back and check out the drawings! (Or check out the art and then get hyped to go read it! Either way works!)

Ok, so for the main drawing... I had sort of bounced around a few ideas, but then decided to settle on this AU. Why? Because I wanted to be a little self indugent. 😆 I really like the Hades & Persephone story, and I've also been on a bit of a "Epic the Musical" kick, so Greek Gods have been on the brain!

It was a pretty challenging drawing... partly because of Dean's pose, but mostly because of backgrounds! Who knew that by drawing a spring diety that meant it'd require drawing lots of nature and flowers! (Thank goodness for brushes in CSP 🙈😂)

I'm really really happy with how the main piece turned out! It's definitely one of my faves!

I created this little drawing for my own purposes when I post on Instagram, and also for those who swipe through the art on Tumblr out of habit. 😂 Ok! Here we go!

NiksFics wrote a beautifully tragic scene where Dean's little fox companion passes away. 💔 I cried while reading it, but I also just had the most vivid image of them kneeling near Zita's grave under the willow tree. I decided not to include their crowns because I wanted to sort of visually symbolize that they're not acting as Gods at the moment, but as people who are feeling genuine sadness and loss.

When I got to this scene in the fic, I knew I just HAD to draw Dean being a total badass as his new role as co-ruler of the Underworld! Seriously, I need ALL of the takes of Persephone being an ultimate boss! I decided to give him a bit of an outfit change along with their crowns adapting to their new blood bond (which was all NiksFics idea! I was so blown away and was like "Hell yeah that is awesome that their crowns change!!" I had the song "Pomegranate Lips" by Derivakat on repeat while drawing this btw. 😆

Chapter dividers that NiksFics requested since there were some POV changes! She came up with the idea for hyacinth flowers as the dividers, and I thought they were an awesome choice! The dark blue symbolizes Cas (dark blues for the underwold), while the pink is for Dean (I was trying to mimic the color of a pomegranate blossom).

Alright, if you decided to look through before reading the fic, then I hope this hypes you up to go read it now! Or to go read it again if you already read it!

Anna!!

Happy Birthday!! I hope you’re having an amazing day full of al l the most wonderful things. Thank you for being my colour theory and costuming partner in crime and listening to me rambling about my various theories about what’s going on and just generally being the most awesome sounding board and sharer of crazy theories and thoughts - there’s no one I’d rather be with in the fandom trenches! 💜

You’re also awesome for humouring my various gif set requests and so I have quickly made you a little buddie art gift - which I hope you like and enjoy (couldn’t decide which background looked better - so you can have both!)!!

So Happy Birthday wonderful human being 🎂🎂🎂💜💜

KYM OH MY GOD.

This is so beautiful, I don't even know what to say. Thank you so much 😭😭😭😭

There's really no one else I'd rather discuss the crazy theories, colors, and costumes, no one else understands the patterns like you do. I love discussing those with you and it's amazing to talk to someone who just gets it and is as down for the crazy as I am. So thank you for being my color theory partner in crime, can't wait to see how else we can be proved right in the future iaoajsokasokas
