Okay, so. Remember that Doctor project from last Art Fight? This piece takes up a similar sort of space in my heart for Art Fight 2024. Details and gushing under the cut.

Earlier this year, my housemate Khalimar and I played on a private Minecraft server to test out a particular modpack idea of his. He's been kicking around this thought for a long while: it's a pack where you build your base and then it moves with you. He's always envisioned it as building a ship to sail on, but in order to test the idea he set up a Create pack with Interactive so we could build up a train and add to it while it was in motion.

Y'all. It was a fucking monumental experience. I have a lot to say about the Nameless Train to Nowhere and not a lot of space to put it, but understand that this was probably one of my absolute favorite Minecraft experiences in years, bar none. Whenever we were done exploring an area, we just…kept riding west, racing the sun into the distance, digging tunnels and finding new structures.

One of my stand-out favorite moments was while we were riding through a shrubland, icey lake on one side and low-lying grasses and trees on the other, and we popped Otherside into the jukebox. It just felt…right. He was driving the train, I was standing on the edge railings looking out for fun structures and mobs, and I saw a perfect image in my mind of the exact scene as if it was animated.

So…that's exactly what I made. I didn't crunch it this time, no fucking way. I worked on it little by little throughout the month, learning to paint to make the backgrounds and designing the train in a more stylistic, less blocky manner. I took a lot of screenshots on the server- every environment drawn is one we traveled through that I wanted to immortalize. I even learned how to use DaVinci Resolve so Krita didn't crash nearly as often as it did during my previous animation! It only crunched twice!

I wanted to show all of the love I felt for this pack in an animation. It's full of in-jokes and references (the blueprint is unnamed because we forgot to name the train before engaging it, the armors The Emissary and Aero wear are our actual endgame fits, train car 4 looks like it's been stung by a bee because we accidentally made it too small and we had to expand it, and there's Moofy in train car 2 with the other livestock, and that's just a few examples) because after only two months this became one of my favorite modpacks of all time. How could I not?

I still ended up cramming the day before because circumstances lead to me being unable to do art until the last few days, but I still finished the piece with hours to spare instead of minutes. And honestly? This is one of my favorite pieces yet.

You can also check out this animation on Youtube!

I was on Team Stardust for Art Fight 2024! I hope you all had a good time this year!

I am finally graduating BUT don't let that fool you, this is my second degree. Maybe I'll actually get to use this one this time!

It's a whole new kind of torture to have to study 10th grade math for three weeks straight when you're over 30. I decided I never needed that shit well over 10 years ago oof

TOUCHSTARVED WISH LIST:

✦ Vere going absolutely feral after he sees the MC getting hurt ✦

It's a Soulless that hurts them?  The monster barely gets a swipe in before Vere is on it.  He's ripping it apart with his fucking teeth.  He can't stop growling, even after the thing is already dead, blood dripping down his face, splattering his chest, smeared all over his chains.

He's a force of nature - beautiful and deadly in equal measure.  

His ears are going to stay pinned back for a while.  He can't relax.  MC can try to calm him down and comfort him but his disposition won't go back to normal until he's satisfied.  (Satisfied with patching them up, fussing over them in a way that's just this side of an insult.)  He'll take them to bed, but only in the most literal sense.  (He just wants to listen to their heartbeat with his tail wrapped around them until he feels better.)

 . . . But what if it is a human who does it? Say, someone from the Senobium… 

Vere wants to blot them from the face of the earth but he can't.  Not with the collar on.  He has to resort to trickery or manipulation if he wants MC's assailant to stop.

 (And he has to act unaffected.  He can't let on…)

 It's absolutely maddening because he could squash their attacker like a bug if he wasn't so chained.  He wouldn't have to watch this happen if -- he shouldn't have to watch this happen, they're his -- but he can't stop it, not the way he wants to.  His hackles are up.  His claws absolutely itch with the need to tear this vermin to shreds.  His handlers will write it off as hunger, blood lust.  (They'll be right, if only partially.)

Bonus Points: Vere seeks Kuras' help willingly in order to save MC's life.

 The MC getting grievously injured…

Vere picking them up bridal style and carrying them to Kuras' clinic. 

He doesn't wait in the line.  (Not that there's going to be much of a line, people scatter like rats once they see his face.)  

He'll break down the goddamn door if he has to.  He doesn't say a word, just snarls at Kuras and refuses to be removed from the room while MC is treated.

 (Does he fume in the corner the whole time?  Or does he hover near Kuras, distrusting the angel, accepting the proximity despite his distaste?)

 Kuras doesn't say anything either.  He just gets to work.

Ramon: and we'll help u

Pac: Yeah. Exactly, Ramon. Anything you need.

Bagi: Thank you. [Sighs] Dammit. You know, I- I hope Cellbit is still in Purgatory and is killing all of those fckers. All of them.

Pac: No, yeah, me too... If he was here, he would- well, you know... He would also help.

Bagi: I actually hope Cellbit is still a cannibal to eat all of those fckers after killing them.

Pac: I hope too, you know, and he's probably still -

Bagi: God dammit!

Fit: Mhmm.

Pac: Yeah, no, he- We gonna- we're gonna revenge Empanada. We gonna make them pay.

Bedight It With My Blood

Real talk: this was not the pose I came into this piece with. Initially I was planning for @typefourty's Luna to be throwing papers up and around in a rage because the script they were reading was so unbelievably corny. But while I was looking for reference poses I found a guy sitting in a chair looking like he was having a migraine, and went, that. That's what this terrible little jester needs: a mid-life crisis.

I was on Team Stardust! Come check out my page for next year's fight!

~ A Night in the Life of a Bat in Gotham

This is such a cute short story! The bat following Batman around, copying him, and being a detective with him! Bruce caring about stopping animal abuse and trafficking! Bruce saying that the bats of Gotham aren't his pets, they are their family! And he knows each one of them! I didn't know I needed Bruce gently holding a bat and calling it "my hero" until now, it's fucking adorable!

And the whole thing is a metaphor about the Batfam! About how they cannot be kept in captivity, how their falily is important and they need it, but each of them comes and goes as they wish and they respect it, and each have their own story to tell.

Homicipher ft. Ryuuka rough drawings...plus some ramblings below! (there will be spoilers from the game btw)

I've always loved otome games but I didn't expect to like this game this much when I first watched a playthrough of it. Like, I didn't even know it was an otome game when I clicked on the video to watch it! I thought it's a normal horror vn game djdhdjvdjd

Anyway, I'm lowkey obsessed with these freaks. I especially like the four characters above so far. And I didn't get to draw them here but I like Mr. Chopped, Bride, Mr. Gap and Mr. Machete too! Also, this might already be expected of me, but I love the MC(Adami) too, they're so interesting!

Since I ended up liking it a lot and I also needed to get these wiggles off my brain, I ended up cooking some not-so-serious AU where Ryuuka gets isekai'd to their monster world. I chose Ryuuka because I know she would thrive there (she has quite the homicidal/murderous tendencies/urges, only kept at bay by her pursuit of knowledge + following her twin's moral compass) and can be a freak like Adami too fkhfmdbdnd so I thought it'd be interesting to yeet her in there!

I can imagine she's initially wearing her standard outfit at first (labcoat + black turtleneck dress), but at some point, it would be replaced by the raincoat since the labcoat would be soaked with too much blood (shoutout to Bride for the raincoat supplies). She's still wearing the turtleneck dress underneath because I don't think she'll fall in the water with those hand monsters, so she won't need a change of clothes for that one.

In terms of language learning, she's a pretty smart cookie, so she'll figure it out quite fast. So there's no problem there.

As for how the whole deal with Mr. Scarletella happened: I can imagine that since Ryuuka is a yakuza boss/assassin, she ends up dumping dead bodies of her victims in this strange but convenient building. Because somehow, the bodies dumped there are never found, which is a win for her. But then it turns out that that place is Mr. Scarletella's teritorry 😭😭 and he thought that those dead bodies that Ryuuka has been dumping to his place were offerings for him ("F-for me?! 🥺✨❤️" type of bs). That's why he ends up obsessed with her like in the og, so now he's chasing her down to get her name...👁️👄👁️ (deja vu...ive been in this place before...i can make a 🐥🍎 au out of this---)

Also another thing I wanna mention is that I firmly believe that Mr. Silvair and her would get along as both people of "science" dmbdmdbdnd but I must admit I need to re-watch and analyze his route and endings more, since I feel I'm still missing a few things abt him.

For Mr. Hood, I think she appreciates him teaching her about the language and him carrying her around when she does accidentally gets chibi-fied. In general, she appreciates people who are patient with her and people who knows when to stay quiet. The same would apply for Mr. Crawling though he's a bit on the chatty side. Ultimately, she also doesn't mind having a puppy-like character like him following her around.

My brain is starting to die again ughudhsjshhughhhhhh that's all for now!
