dads and the pet they didnt want

[canisalbus]

I get questions about Machete's ear situation quite often so I whipped up a quick age chart.

[theartingace]

one day late for Mermay, but it's fine I loved updating this character for the first time in a couple years and seeing the progress anyway 💜 Same character in past years for progress reference below the cut!

2022 and 2020 versions respectively! It's always so fun to revisit this character and see how my skills have come along! (Honestly 2020 remains my favorite tbh)

also for the first time since she was originally posted in 2009... the OG character!!! Horrifying to look back at art this old from my teen days..

[monstrous-fusion]

I thought I'd share some old faerie concepts, back before I had a solid idea on how I wanted them to look in the AU. I still draw them like this sometimes, ngl, it's really fun. It's just. hard </3

Daenerys Missandei Irri and Jhiqui!

[Image Description: A full-length drawing of four people, Daenerys Targaryen, Missandei of Naath, and Dany’s two Dothraki handmaidens, Irri and Jhiqui. They are standing progressively farther back from the viewer. Daenerys stands in profile, walking forward, talking to someone. Missandei and Jhiqui have their bodies facing the viewer, Irri is angled slightly to the right side of the drawing. Missandei, Irri, and Jhiqui look at Daenerys. They are standing on a red carpet against a blank background.

Daenerys wears a purple tokar with a gold fringe. She wears her dragon crown, a gold bangle, rings of various materials, a gold vambrace with purple stones, gold earrings with purple stones, and an elaborate necklace with purple stones. From the necklace and the crown dangle long strings of red and black beads. She wears an anklet and leather sandals. A few golden bells can be seen in her hair.

Missandei wears a knee-length light orchid-color dress. It hangs loosely around her. Her dress is trimmed at the hem with purple and blue beads of different lengths. She wears sandals similar to Dany’s. She wears a large V-shaped piece of jewelry similar to a collar around her neck and over her collarbones. It is gold, mostly decorated with purple stones, and a blue butterfly design. Missandei wears earrings with blue butterflies and purple, pink, and yellow stones. She wears a bracelet of alternating pink and yellow stones. Her hair is in braids to pull it away from her face, but is otherwise in an Afro-type style. She holds a tablet and writing utensil in front of her chest. She has an interested expression as she looks up from her writing towards Dany.

Irri wears Dothraki clothes. She wears long trousers, which are blue fabric with a fringed panel of leather along the inside of her leg and groin. She wears leather boots with green, white, and purple painted swirls on them. She wears a dark leather belt around her middle and a belt of gold discs over it. The central gold disc has a green stone. More blue fabric wraps around her chest, either pleated or wrappings. Over this is a painted vest, primarily decorated with blue, green, and white. On her upper arm is an armband with an illustration of a horse galloping in grass. She has leather wrappings on her wrist and opposite upper arm. She wears one visible ring. She wears a leather necklace with a triangular gold pendant and gold triangular earrings. Her hair is in at least three braids, tied off with gold beads. She has bangs. She wears a woven headband of green and blue, with jade stones. Her face is neutral.

Jhiqui also wears Dothraki clothes, although hers do not look practical for riding. Her clothes are primarily fabric of a deep raspberry color. Along the outer side of her trousers is a stripe of leather, fringed at the end, painted with pink and pale purple flowers. On her chest she wears a beaded brooch shaped like a flower, with pink petals and a green “stem”. She wears slippers, in the same material as the rest of her outfit, with a decoration of pink flowers on yellow around the heel. Her vest is laced closed over a green and gold under layer. Her vest is trimmed at the hem with gold discs. Around her middle is a dark leather belt, with a thin belt of gold discs over it. She wears a leather necklace similar to Irri’s, with a circular gold pendant with a garnet stone. Her earrings match this pendant. She wears two rings. Her arm band is gold and garnet. Her hair is worn similarly to Irri’s. She has a bracelet with chips of green jade set in silver on a leather cuff. She has a nose piercing with a gold chain that leads to her earring. She appears to be wearing rouge. She looks mildly interested in whatever is happening. End ID./]

As chosen by my beloved followers: ChellDOS

GLaDOS decides to get more personally involved in the testing. For purely rational Science Reasons. And maybe some security reasons. And no other reasons whatsoever. None. At all.

Chell is intrigued. And also deeply concerned. But mostly intrigued.

Do Machete’s ears have triangles cut out of them? Or is that a natural thing sorry if this is a stupid question or has been answered before

They have pieces cut out of them. He doesn't have them in any of the pictures where he's under 20.

I think I have an explanation for them but it's not that important. He doesn't talk about them in story setting.

Funguary Day 1: Veiled Lady

Also known as phallus indusiatus, the basket stinkhorn, bamboo mushrooms, bamboo pith, the long net stinkhorn, the crinoline stinkhorn, and the bridal veil. It's edible, often used in Chinese foods, and considered a delicacy and an aphrodisiac in eastern Asia. The cap is covered with a spore-containing slime that attracts flies and other insects, which eat and disperse the spores. Their fruit bodies emerge during nighttime, and they're short-lived, typically only lasting a few days.

I think she's some kind of phantom bride. People catch glimpses of her in the forest, but when they try to follow her, she's nowhere to be found. Nobody knows what she is or who she might be marrying. No-one has ever seen her face.

The number of people who claim to not read the news because it's "controlled by Zionists" when really it's because they're just lazy is astounding.

I feel like the Primaris should have been the catalyst for like, an imperial civil war. At the very least, much unrest in the house of Guilliman. Their existence, let alone rollout/integration, should have had many chapters absolutely rioting. It should be beyond the pale by several orders of magnitude and be seen as an enormous overreach by the more autonomy loving chapters, a blasphemy by the more orthodox chapters, and an existential threat to chapters with geneseed quirks. Plus anyone with any awareness of the thunder warriors should take one look at them and recognize the writing on the wall. Guilliman should absolutely recognize what they represent, what they imply. Like they're the leading wave of a paradigm shift that doesn't bode well for what came before. And I say this as someone who's not averse to Primaris, I just think they could've, should've, been a waaaay bigger deal. I know they loathe changing the status quo and we're never getting rid of the posterboys but I think we missed out on something interesting.

— the (amateur) (unreliable) (silly) guide to the sans skull

take all of this with a grain of salt! i admire all yall who draw him and i don't intend to compete with that ever. just make me your artist for humanized designs /lh

see my beef with his dumb skull has always been there i just learn how to hide it better lol. srsly props to yall who can draw him easily i have to redo the top part of his skull like 5 times at minimum. but its not like i hate that i cant draw him, i just think that if i wanna draw for myself, im gonna own it and make it how i wanna and if that means human designs, so be it! its called free will🙏
