I saw these really pretty Russian jester dolls on Pinterest, so I drew my character Yume based after one of them and I love how it came out (mostly)

Brian bell of weezer with his original band, Carnival Art, in which he played bass. He played on their first major label album, Welcome to Vas Llegas which is an increadible early 90s alt rock album; blending elements of proto math rock's odd shifting time signatures with heavy 80s hard rock influenece, think Gun's N Roses meets American football. I highly reccommend this album to anyone and everyone, do yourself a favour and check it out on YouTube.

THE ELEPHANT MASTER

I wanted to doodle a carnival character with a long nose Venetian mask (because I’ve been obsessed with these masks lately) so here she is! I imagine she trains the elephants and performs with them, balancing and juggling, and her name is Mathilda the Matriarch. Also a good drawing to kick off 4th of July weekend! Think I’ll watch Tim Burton’s Dumbo later…

Witchlight Carnival art - I’m trying my hand at DMing for the first time and running “The Wild Beyond the Witchlight” module with my friends! I made this art for the cover of our roll20, I’m so excited! Please credit me if you reuse this 

[Image description: a huge white-and-red circus tent seen from below, expanding upward in a whimsically wonky shape with a spire and flag on top. A thick, sparkly braid bands across over the first tier of the tent and the opening. The tent flap is tied open and yellow light glows outward from within. It’s nighttime, and the tent is against a dark night sky lit only from the lights below. There are more lights on the tips of the polls holding the tent up from within, visible from the outside only through the shape of the tent, and a light at the very top of the flag poll. Blue, pink, and yellow fairy lights float around the tent. In the background, the night is dark and full of stars, and fireworks light more of the night sky. Floating in the air above the entrance of the tent are the warm, flowing words “Witchlight Carnival”. End image description.]

i thought too hard about insect motifs got a little silly and made... a lot lmao these versions of the characters are from @sm-baby's amazing digital carnival au!! full images and rambling about insect choices are gonna get stuck under the cut... it'll be a bit long and i will be putting photos of real bugs down there so be mindful

pomni: "butterfly"

inspirational species are black swallowtails mostly for the shape, and malay red harlequins mostly for the pattern

carnival pomni's actually the one that kickstarted this whole set... i drew her hat in a way that reminded me of butterflies, went "wait...", then i fully leaned into it :)

jax: "centipede"

there was no specific species for jax. without being able to use color, they were too similar to pick any out... i have included a giant centipede just for reference though since it was mainly larger centipedes i used for inspiration

anddd there's a little bonus sketch for how pre-sentience jax might've looked with a centipede outfit... he gets a bug scarf and some goggles!

ragatha: "ladybug"

inspirational species was the twice-stabbed ladybug chosen because the inverted color scheme looked the best out of all the ones i tried, and also because it's a metal name and we know ragatha's good with a knife... stabby stab... i did add more than two spots to the dress though, it just looks cooler lol

gangle: "spider"

inspiration was the spinybacked orb weaver which i was absolutely ecstatic to find because come on that is the perfect spider for gangle like look at it!! it looks like her mask, it's got red, it's got gold on the limbs, literally twinning

zooble: "mantis"

inspiration was the spiny flower mantis which, like with gangle, i feel is pretty much perfect for zooble... they come in many colors (including pink), have abstract patterns, and it gave me the excuse to cover zooble in spikes :D fun

and no kaufmo because i'm lazy and he's dead (sorry kaufmo fans but am i wrong), and the rest don't have bug names that i know of?

i still want to draw the carnival characters in their regular looks sometime, i just got really really inspired by the idea of secret skins and bug-themed outfits and went a liiittle haywire :P

anyways if you read all that you're a real one and you've got too much time on your hands... if you didn't, i understand, i get wordy, sorry :'D okay i think that's all byeee
