i cannot stress enough how much i fucking love drawing.

just. the way i can manifest anything with a drawing tablet. even if it well out of my skill set. i thought i couldn't draw an action scene. and i did it anyways. i suck ass in backgrounds and perspectives. and im doing it terribly but im doing it.

pressing play on an animation reel and seeing my own drawings move in motion is so much fun. coloring things in and switching from sketch to final feels great.

drawing and worldbuilding is my passion. i love it so fucking much man.

there was a time when i had thought i'd have to give up drawing for the rest of my life. i sacrificed my dreams of going to art school or making something of my art. i stopped drawing for a majority of my life in college because of how much i was putting into for law school-- which i ended up failing to get into.

Being able to do this fop series and watching so many people fall in love with it is so great. i love what im doing. and it shows that sometimes, even if you give up on your dreams, it'll still come back, in new and slightly different ways! so uh.

dont give up or something?

[toastedjeans]

The first installment of drawing Gustino in various AUs has been completed!!

First up we have Siren Tower!

He's a little confused lol. I added the second pic just to show the other arms a little better, and so the scales and webbed hands are more visible. He's got the gills on his stomach from Gus, and the top scars from Pep. Because yes. I think he'd be able to swim, but very clumsily. Has both lungs and gills, so he can survive both on land and in water. He understands both human and siren language, but i still think it'd be funny if Gustavo's part didn't understand Peppino's part and vice versa. Idk how that would work tho

And now we've got Tower Omens!

Normal and hatless variant (the shiny)

Had to show his wings off, since he's a fusion of an angel and a demon. Could've just made them all gray but no, i had to screw around with a half baked gradient that doesn't even look that good lmao. The horns aren't as pointy as usual cause idk that made sense to me. The ring would probably still cause a rash on his skin, but not as much as for just Peppino, so he still wears it as a necklace. He doesn't wanna stain it after all!

So yeah!! These were fun to do! But anyway, two other AU variants are already sketched out! Stay tuned for more of this weirdo /affectionate

And of course, thanks to @alextydaisuda123 and @creat0rstudi0 for the inspiration <3 i hope I'll be able to keep doing this lol

[adobe-outdesign]

I know you've done Hisuian Qwilfish, but have you done regular Qwilfish? I saw it mentioned some in the entry for the former, but not an entry for itself, though I guess such a thing might be redundant at this point

(I thought I had, but apparently I only did the regional and never the regular version. Not a whole lot to say that wasn't already mentioned in that review, but I'll cover it really quick anyway.)

Qwilfish is very much one of those Pokemon that Exist. It's a puffer/porcupine fish, but there's not really any concept beyond that, and while it's got a mildly interesting design lack of an evolution combined with lack of concept doesn't leave a whole lot here to remember it by.

Visually, I do like that it's round by default and only becomes bigger when puffed up (unlike actual pufferfish, which are reasonably fish-shaped by default). The half teal and half light green body is high-contrast enough, and it's got a distinct pair of pink "lips" that help draw attention to its face.

The tail has two markings that are probably supposed to be the first character of its Japanese name, ハ (ハリーセン), though this is completely lost on an English audience. I do kind of wish the tail followed the split coloration of the body more, like if it was horizontal and teal on top, light green on bottom, but then again that would make it hard to see the markings at any given angle.

While Overqwil was a much-needed addition to Hisuian Qwilfish, it's one of those evos where the regional feels somewhat unneeded; Overqwil is just Qwilfish but More(TM), so there wasn't much need to give it a regional first (even if I do like H. Qwilfish's design more). At the very least, it would be nice if Johtonian Qwilfish got an evo one day to balance things out; there are some fun things that could be done with this design still. As is, the original is fine but there's no real reason to use it.

Side note: In the Spaceworld beta, Qwilfish was going to evolve into this guy. I don't hate the design, but ultimately I think it feels way too much like Whiscash (or maybe it became Whiscash later on), and it still doesn't seem to have a ton of concept behind it.

Overall, an alright but somewhat bland Pokemon that's overshadowed by its regional.

[fallenclan]

so!! starting off to say Moon 263 [part 2] might be one of my favorite fallenclan updates ever. here are some more specific thoughts because i have A Lot

the first panel with the "not actually chosen" ones chatting is so nice. the colors for this update are so tasty and really have a mystical vibe, but i especially like this first panel with the mushrooms. also, the textboxes look so neat overlapping. i like how wolfbite is quieter and not saying much while feathersight is speaking the most. it can be inferred that he's explaining about how starclan/the glowcave usually works with darkstone and honeysong occasionally adding on, and at the end wolfbite is just like "all right guys, i get it."

the way the starclan cats are drawn is so cool... the "fading" effect that makes them look all watery, as if bits and pieces of them are drifting away?? incredible. i love it! i also really like how the stc textboxes are a different shade. it's just a neat detail. the star effects surrounding them is so pretty also. i just love how you draw the starclan cats in general, they look so magical. i like how away from the glowcave, their colors bleed past the lines, but at the glowcave they appear more solid, as if they're stronger there. i just,, i love it

the cameos! omg. i literally never thought i would see nick again but here we are. i'm a big fan of all the appearances!!

silverbelly is adorable. i love how excited feathersight is to see her. also, when she first appears, i like the detail of darkstone sweating. despite being a medicine cat, he's literally never seen a fully formed starclan cat before. he's nervous!! wolfbite looks shocked but i feel like this is more about the idea of her being "special" rather than seeing silverbelly tbh. she's like "damn i guess i actually am plot relevant."

salmonskip... i was so happy to see her... she's such a goober. nick's "we all had our own cats we hoped would come" was such a fun line as well for its thought provoking effect. i feel like it's a nod to how there were so many different "fourth cat" theories in the discord server but i could be wrong. we all had our ideas! now i'm super curious as to who nick was rooting for... and also who each of the previous leaders wanted (should i send another ask with my theories on who specific starclan cats wanted to be the fourth cat?)

big fan of the "you weren't actually chosen, you chose yourself" yada yada. wonderful! i love choosing your own destiny narratives. i'm sure nothing bad will happen to our little feline heroes

sleepycloud :(

"you sound different than i thought you would" - honeysong, had me in shambles. honeysong is older than lionsong was when he died... he looks so young here

poppyfeather made me laugh. i love the "not that this isn't heartwarming..." that i read in a 100% sarcastic tone. she is not in the mood for happy reunions!! she has a dictator to depose, guys. time to see her vengeful trait come into effect...

the ending! darkstone and honeysong look so envigorated whereas feathersight looks exhausted and wolfbite... looks ready to "do what has to be done." i love how happy she was to see sandsnap, and then how her happiness is buried once the poppyfeather and cherrystar step in with their plan, as if seeing sandsnap only strengthened her desire for revenge.

i had a dream after this post where the squad was about to confront ravenstar and he was all like "you thought i didn't know about your little schemes? cute." and his little gang rolled up (sleepydawn, flamefall, levi, patchback, etc.). i don't remember much else of what happened but i woke up like " oh no . . . the little guys are in danger . . . " anyway this segues into my prediction that there will be at least one death as a direct consequence of their attempt to depose ravenstar.

-🐉 (giggling and swinging my feet)

as always dragon... you literally never miss

i'm so glad you picked up on the textbox thing, you basically got it in one!!! feathersight and honeysong explaining helpfully, darkstone chiming in with his little snips and jokes, wolfbite talking less because she's got somewhat of a listening role there etc

IT WAS SO FUN TO DRAW THEM LIKE THAT... the white lines made it kind of difficult to see the white cats (looking at you sleepycloud) but otherwise. so fun. your assumption is correct, they're more solid there than they are as ghosts, and then in Starclan they arent wispy at all, just faintly glowing with those white lines (though they're so fun to draw like this i might have to just draw the ghosts like this always. idk)

cameos!! Nick was a special request from my sibling that I agreed with wholeheartedly. he was so silly

"damn I guess I actually am plot relevant" LMAO

yup it was a nod to all the guesses!! if i had infinite time and energy i would have put in more starclan cats as nods to specific guesses (Canarywish aka the greatest red herring I ever fished comes to mind), but alas. and you KNOW id love to hear all your thoughts fuck yes!!! (I didn't have anyone in particular in mind for Nick, but if I had to choose I'd say he was hoping for Snailpetal as well, she's his only surviving descendant)

i'm sure nothing will happen ! nothing bad at all!

sleepycloud :( indeed. i will let slip that i've got some plans as far as the sleepydawn situation but that's all i'll say about that for now

SHES ALMOST TWICE THE AGE HE WAS WHEN HE DIED... i always forget how young Lionsong was. not even 30 moons :(

i love Poppyfeather she is ALL business. "listen you guys can come back to the glow cave literally any time after we kill ravenstar's bitch ass can we get on with it pls"

YES EXACTLY!! Honeysong and Darkstone are the Young Optimistic ones, Feathersight is very cautiously optimistic but has seen a lot of shit and is more realistic about the odds they're facing, Wolfbite is in Get Shit Done mode. she's locked in. her thirst for blood has died down a bit upon seeing her dad and now it is HER job to save her clan. weight of the world on this poor girl's shoulders

i'm sure there will be no consequences. dont worry

[ekstatic-130]

didnt draw much today except this guy- and i got like 3 requests to do damn.. ive been struggling with him so badly it felt like eternity- anyways had fun tho

[bbqgrape]

All my Pressure ocs / scrapped designs!

Number 1: Dune D.

He was my first oc, though I don't draw him as much anymore :(((

Number 2: Dylan (First design)

This was my second oc, and which I never really liked sadly, and his design was scrapped + the palette I used as reference.

Number 3: Dylan Dallimore (Getting closer to the final design...)

Scrapped the shirt because I decided to make this original character plenty of angst! Though in canon, he'd wear this shirt XD + Sketch

Number 4: Dylan Dallimore (Pre-final design)

This is his pre-final design (Before I decided to make his design more fun than anatomy based, I really love chubby cheeks!), and I decided to use more diverse brushes that I found on Pinterest!

Number 5: Dylan Dallimore (Final Design)

So, let's get it with the *Lore*...*rubs hands*

Anyways, let's start with appearance!

Species: Fish. DNA mixed with Betta fish, Ribbon eel (Since Dylan has both Female and Male DNA, and ribbon eels change colour according to what gender they become as they're older, I mixed both blue and yellow by using a brush, thus getting his skin tone), Viper fish, Blobfish, Atlantic pygmy octopus, Sea bunny, female Blue Whale (Ex-human/ lab experiment) (Might change once I get everything figured out!)

Some lil' quirks of his:

• This big ol' water balloon has soft bones and squishy skin (Blob fish DNA), thus making it harder to actually damage him by hits, and in some cases, bullets!

• Because of his Female (Female whales are smaller, and if he had Male whale DNA, he'd be **MASSIVE**) whale DNA, Dylan has gained quite a few pounds because of it (Teddy bear incarnate RAHHH)

• Dylan is both colourblind (Because of his octopus and whale DNA) and partially mute (Those damn experiments ruined his vocal cords), and only let's out random noises as expression of what he wants

• Was a HUUUGE emo kid when he was younger, and still kinda is, but now leans more on "Scene" (He would have loved Odetari or 6arelyhuman lol)

• Was (and still is) great friends with Sebastian since childhood, mostly because they both had similar interests, etc.!

I will write his backstory once I have done his ref sheet!

[theradicalace]

Hey it's that time of the year again :D

HAPPY 413! 🎂

[wtfforged]

my campaign hiatus has gone on for too long so to cope ive combined my interests at their maximum potency and had some dnd-strawhats thoughts

thoughts in depth under read more... :)!

this is SO self indulgent. their designs literally did not change. but i am a firm believer that dnd doesnt have to be european high fantasy. and also one piece literally IS fantasy. no changes are necessary to fit into dnd. ive already imagined plenty of campaign/oneshot ideas inspired by one piece. so this was basically just an exercise of trying to replicate their canon abilities in dnd 5e as much as possible without totally homebrewing everything. well. aside from luffy. you just cant take away or change his stretching.

LUFFY: (human monk. drunken master subclass. outlander)

the only plain human of the crew to balance out with the fact that he still has rubber powers. obviously a monk. but drunken master subclass specifically because i think the flavor(not the fact that its about being a drunkard) and abilities both fit him really well. this line in the subclass' flavortext especially fits him: "A drunken master often enjoys playing the fool to bring gladness to the despondent or to demonstrate humility to the arrogant, but when battle is joined, the drunken master can be a maddening, masterful foe."

ZORO: (tiefling fighter. samurai subclass. bounty hunter)

a fighter with the samurai subclass is so very incredibly obvious... but i actually had a lot of fun geeking out while comparing the abilities to what he can do in canon; Fighting Spirit, Rapid Strike, and Strength Before Death especially! tiefling is also pretty on the nose for his demon pirate hunter shtick and asura form, but i thought he'd be really human-passing for a tiefling and theorized about his tail getting cut off at some point or another before joining the strawhats. initially wasnt gonna give him a feat, but i gave sanji a feat so i thought itd be unfair to not give him one as well, so sentinel fits the bill pretty well i think!

NAMI: (tabaxi rogue. arcane trickster subclass. criminal)

cat burglar -> full grown literal humanoid cat. this one is INCREDIBLY self indulgent... i love... cats... theres nothing deeper to this and no other reasoning. i took cat burglar and ran with it. can you tell that i love izutsumi dungeon meshi? rogue for the aforementioned burglar-ing as well, and the arcane trickster subclass for when she picks up climatact! the mage hand will be very useful for her pickpocketing. in the future as she levels up with timeskip, i can totally see her multiclassing into wizard as well! weather wizard!

USOPP: (lightfoot halfling artificer. artillerist subclass. urchin)

I HAD SO MUCH FUN THINKING ABOUT HIS CHARACTER SHEET. halfling's Naturally Stealthy ability lets him hide behind his crewmates since theyre (almost) all bigger than him, so its perfect for hiding behind zoro or sanji all the time. Lucky is also perfect for him, and I think Brave fits pretty well too when he puts on the sogeking mask. artillerist artificer is also very fun! tinkering and making magic items for his crew, and i think Eldritch Canon or Arcane Firearm could both be easily reflavored as kabuto or any of his inventions. for emphasizing his sniper-ness, the spell sniper feat was also necessary. i think hes my favorite of all the concepts. big ears and long nose combo is so cute to me.

SANJI: (half-elf monk. drunken master subclass. guild artisan (cook!))

race was mostly based on vibes i wont lie. squints. and that vinsmoke balogna or whatever too ig. but mostly vibes. along with the idea that i think a dwarf zeff raising him would be really funny and cute. monk is also obvious, and same subclass as luffy for mostly the same reasons. though the flavor fits him much less, i think the abilities still fit him perfectly, and this blurb specifically; "Your martial arts technique mixes combat training with the precision of a dancer." i really wanted to give him a different subclass from luffy, but i dislike all the other monk subclasses a lot and i found none of them fit him as well anyways, so to try and give them SOME differences, i gave him the crusher feat.

CHOPPER: (awakened deer(shifter statblock) cleric. life subclass. hermit)

this ones definitely a mouthful im sorry. awakened deer for obvious reasons, but due to magic instead of devil fruit stuff. when i was struggling with his race, i looked a lot at shifter because of his forms, but it occurred to me that itd be super cool if he could shift between all of the different shifter options instead of being stuck with just one to replicate his rumble balls. something like heavy point/guard point=beasthide, horn point/arm point(?maybe?)=longtooth, walk point/jumping point=swiftstride, and brain point=wildhunt. hed definitely need some kind of nerf though to balance out that homebrew... and cleric for class. duh.

ROBIN: (high elf wizard. order of scribes subclass. criminal)

robin is definitely the one i struggled the most with just because of her class. elf came pretty easily- shes very elegant and i think shed look cute with super long ears- and i landed on high elf instead of wood elf for the int-based abilities. i was really on the fence between sorcerer and wizard for her because i knew shed be a full spellcaster, but i didnt feel that any of the subclasses really fit her. i ended up going with wizard for order of the scribes since it focuses on texts and knowing everything. but also because robin with a flying talking sentient book would be crazy cool. it could also be similar to how she spawns mouths and eyes places to talk to or watch people. my "fuck it, why not. this would be rad. its my house" mindset kicked in with her i will admit. also the One with the Word ability made me cackle out loud when i read it. thats the funniest ability ever. anyways, i cant really think of a way to replicate her powers, but maybe we could just reflavor a bunch of spells to be her limbs or clutch; hold person, maximillian's earthen grasp, or evard's black tentacles. thatd probably work okay, and theres a handful of spells to replicate her ability to spawn eyes or mouths. unrelated, but i imagine nico olvia to be a drow. why? her hair is white. i am a simple man!

i don't normally participate in these redraw challenges but it's megumi so i'll make an exception

[datcravat]

yes.. YES
