Cricket Cat concept. Do you see it? Do you see my vision? I don't think they'd purr or meow, just chirp with their wings.
#creature design#bug art#my art#i've been trying to CAPTURE WHAT I WANT in multiple sketchbook pages#i liked how these turned out#there may be an alternate version with the mandibles ... but i figured most people wouldn't find it charming like i would haha#it was interesting trying to imagine how those grasshopper like legs could be used in a cat like walking pattern#i love black cats and i love black crickets....#bugs#insect#it's a fictional bug of course but i'm tagging it just in case

Guy who is Bonita ‼️
#my art#I think I sufficiently fantasyified his outfit. I’m happy with this#I got rid of the bird shit because I Didn’t Want It There so now he’s a halfelf#Anyways. Don’t leave me unattended with characters with literally any amount of exposed skin I will give them entirely too many super-#-detailed tattoos#Also it is SO hunch more annoying to draw straight body hair because on curly haired characters I can just do looptyloops with my Lineart-#-brush in the same color as their hair but with straight hair I have to use a fucking chalk brush and draw every little strand it’s such a-#-pain. VERY nice result that I’m happy with but FUCK is it annoying#His shirt patterns ALSO took a longass time. Floral ANYTHING is a pain it’s so pretty but SO tedious#Looks so cool though…#Anyways. I changed his shoes to sandals and gave him some fun jewelry too just because. I like giving characters lots of fun jewelry#Will I draw other Misadventurers? Yeah probably but idk WHEN I’ll do that. just At Some Point i guess#I like drawing Jimmy he’s fun to draw I should draw him more. I like my Jimmy design#jimmy solidarity#jimmy solidarity fanart#solidarity fanart#solidarity gaming#solidaritygaming#solidarity gaming fanart#solidaritygaming fanart#misadventures smp#mc misadventures#misadventures fanart#minecraft misadventures#jimmy misadventures#Misadventures jimmy#Bonita casita#It SHOULD be ‘casita bonita’ because that’s how Spanish works but WHATEVER. Keep living in your ‘pretty that is house’ whiteboy I don’t car#I think I might post this to his Reddit too it might be cool for him to see it. Gonna glaze it first though I think#Anyways. Behold this stunning little freak bastard and his big ol brown baby cow eyes

finally got to sit down and draw my interpretation of Penelope, queen of Ithaca, from epic: the musical
also as a bonus, her namesake duck
#epic the musical#epic penelope#so. i got a few things to say as usual when i work on a design#first i knew penelope had a namesake duck. because her name literally means duck#there's another interpretation for her name but i couldn't ignore how wholesome it is. allegedly there's a myth around it too#where she was cast away by her parents and thrown in the water but was saved by ducks who carried her to shore#so her parents accepted her back. and not gonna lie i really liked that story#so i knew i would choose a hairdo that could specifically recall the feathers of a duck. and wouldn't you know#studying greek hairstyles and accessories i saw this hairnet the women would use. that makes the hair do just that#so that was the first clear thing i had in mind for her. next i looked at her namesake duck. and seeing its patterns i knew#that i had to give her freckles. and brown hair and eyes obviously#next is about her being spartan. i know stuff could change once she married odysseus. but also i didn't want her to separate too much from#her origins. so i like to think of her as fit and simple in style#i like to think she prefers to show through words and wits (matching her husband) that she means business#not through jewelry or fancy clothes. so she sports some jewelry but not too much#i also sneaked a duck in one of her brooches. because why not#and yeah i mean. i struggled picturing her shorter or same height as odysseus. i made him a short king and you'll deal with it#my art

ive been struggling big time coming up with anything funny to draw that hasnt been done yet so have my rw au art dump
#ive never actually done a dump like this before i usually just keep the doodles to myself. new experience#ive been getting better at drawing rw lizards in a way i like#also doll and beau are there cause i felt like it#i need to change dolls patterns. how do you people just design these#it being finals week has not helped my motivation in the slighest#thinking through the plot in my head some more made me notice some glaring plotholes so ive gotta go fix that probably#or just ignore some of the scenes#this would be a lot easier to figure out if i could write#im so tired but i feel bad not posting here#while looking for which tags i used in my last rwmd posts i discovered i accidentally reblogged something#how did that happen. what#fyi i guess i tend to not reblog things cause i like keeping this blog mostly art#art#murder drones#rain world#too lazy to tag characters figure it out

Based on my temple designs or.. my own legally distinct religious faction
An expertly crafted Nun or Monk habit, the attire representative of the local faith. What you initially mistook for simple gold trim turns out to be intricately stitched gold embroidery depicting a chain of eyes. You almost feel like they're staring at you; blinking whenever the fabric shifts and the gold catches the light. It is an old, but pervasive belief of the high-clergy that sight is superfluous to any true believer and that the strength of your conviction alone should suffice as guidance. “True conviction and strength of faith can only be conveyed by the surrender of ones base instincts– The highest, purest form of devotion is blind trust” - The Archbishop
#dol#dol temple#degrees of lewdity#ive kinda mentally detached from dol due to...... all THAT (iykyk) but this has been a fun exercise#no idea how id realistically do the layering of fringe and blindfold#was more to see how it looks#added some more gold than my og designs had since its so tiny and you cant really do patterns#ik im very subtle and underhanded with my intentions here#insert: I know writers who use subtext and theyre all cowards#anyways ill probably reuse these designs at some point since theyre mine#also i unfortuantely had to make do with placeholder peter over here...

The brothers meet again
Ohhh my gods, this one was so daunting (I don't like backgrounds 😭) but it was so fun!!! This scene is going to be like. The really fun dramatic one when I get around to writing it, but for now here's a piece for it instead!!
Very quick explanation for those who haven't seen my insane rambles: Dream was about to kill Killer (finish him off) when Nightmare bursts out of hiding to get between them!
Now, bonus stuff!
^ He's actually very handsome <3
^Thinner version with a crop I like better??

^ I had to check sizing a few times (but Killer is angled so idk if it really helped?) And I just thought this was REALLY funny

^ Just the twins!
#utmv#new age au#spot!drawn#my art#utmv art#should I give this one the main tags??? idk#anyways my favorite part was making Dream's cape (the metaphorical sun rays + folds made me happy :D)#also idk why I gave Night the swirly patterm from the procreate brush in his official design??? i gotta#draw those patterns by hand now???#and uhhh#I think the reason Killer is on his back is because after he got the soul injury Dream pulled away w/ the knife and#Killer stood for a second before stumbling *backwards* from the pain#and he's a lil sideways because he was going to try and turn to dodge an arrow + stumbled#and ofc Night mid-run!!! i'm so proud of that lil goober#oh and Killer used to be glaring + I had to soften his sockets so it'd be believable he was dead/dying and#not paralyzed and pissed like he actually is hehe-#okay I'll let myself have this one 😔#dream sans#nightmare sans#killer sans#tw blood#<- almost forgor-#oh! last tidbit!#Dream doesn't really bother to aim his arrows perfectly#he kinda can vibe out their flight path + nudge it so it hits its mark. hense the bow aiming at Night's face but arrow intended to hit#Killer's soul#oh and Dream's draw-back hand? he uses it palm outwards#he saw someone do it once and refused to shoot any other way once he figured out how to do it lol

The figure at the center isn't Jinx. The figure isn't wearing the right shirt, she's missing Jinx's cloud smoke tattoos, and you can see her dark hair under the blue hair reach her back as it falls in front of her arm and behind her shoulder.

While the braids are black and white to imply that is the figure's actual hair, it's sprayed on blue like the rest of the youths in the background, because she is like them. The figure at the center is just another kid in the crowd, and they've essentially been designed like they're wearing a Jinx wig, all the kids are.
The artist for this mural is showing that anyone can be like Jinx as long as you want to fight for Zaun. Jinx represents an ideology that these kids choose to embody in both style and action. They're united in blue in their rebellion.
#arcane#jinx arcane#arcane meta#the figuee at the center isn't jinx on purpose#bcuz you don't have to be jinx to be like jinx to fight like jinx#it's a choice#the inx propaganda is real#i think it's more effective that no one is jinx in the mural#they're all just trying to be like her#as if jinx is an ideal or a state of mind#there's also an interesting use of the swirls im this piece bcuz they don't match Jinx’s tattoo design but they do match#the pattern in Janna's temple#which is another point to how Jinx's imagery is further conflated (and inverts) symbols associated with zaunite divinity

so i saw this old-ish post about an au centering around a villain lewis and a hero arthur,,, and i. may have gotten attached to it,, dkdndkdjs. so i decided to make some edits + doodles based on it!! i also really wanna make a lil oneshot about it as well,, but uh... whether or not i actually follow through on that, we'll see,, skdjsojdks.
edit: good news, gang,, i wrote the fic!!


#my art#mystery skulls animated#lewis pepper#msa lewis#arthur kingsmen#msa arthur#really happy with how their designs came out !!!#it was a bit of a struggle to make lewis not just look like how he is in canon but with a cape;;#but i think the patterns + sugar skull makeup help a lot!#imagining lewis has the power to just turn into a ghost form;; which he uses for villain stuff. think danny phantom#(<- has never watched danny phantom)#and arthur's just kinda like batman; makes his own gadgets and stuff! i imagine his metal arm also has some fun doodads in it#still debating on why exactly arthur is so beat up in the potential fic; so far i'm thinking maybeeee reverb?#or maybe just some unknown new villain guy#and yes i know there's additions in the post i linked where everyone agrees it was actually mystery#not even murder mystery just. mystery.#i am politely ignoring that. bc i don't like that.#mystery is just vivi's not-dog in my version of this au.#'vivi please don't try and break into a dangerous supervillain's lair to try and rescue some hero' he says to her#meanwhile vivi's already halfway there#being vivi's dog is a full-time job

cookin up a season 10 design for this etho guy or somethin or other
inspired by his base vibes and redstone techy-ness :D also netherite slides because its infinitely amusing to me
#ethoslab#etho fanart#ethoslab fanart#mcyt fanart#mcyt#hermitblr#hermitcraft#hermitcraft fanart#lafakiwi draws#gkm arts#character design#ive teased this design in so many of my ethubs drawings im like fuck it full ref finally xD#i can give a more in depth into the thoughts that led to my design choice but most notably-#frog on the back bc frogger; the pattern at the bottom of his vest is meant to be like abstract lilypad pond#and i moved the canada flag on his arm to the obi via the maple leaves bc i didnt like the flag there#the only time his hair is down is when hes shreepin bc speakin from experience sleepin with w ponytail is not comfy at all#I also like the idea if he's workin in private (like on redstone) the mask is half on/half off depending if other hermits are around#also like. just how dusty it is i dont know if he would be good about redstone ppe#around the nho peeps his mask is mostly down. esp w bdubs :3#used the tags to ramble but this'll make it out of containment eventually#mcytblr#artists on tumblr#hermitcraft season 10#hermitcraft s10

Oooo starstruck dee has little stars at the bottom of her feet! Are they just aesthetic or would they make imprints into the ground? (like pawprints)
exactly like that! though she's not the only one...



edit: might need to add some additional dialogue to this to make it more clear, but a clarification in the interim; he knows about his own footprints. he's just surprised to see something similar already there when he knows he's only just landed. he lifts his own shoe to confirm that they're not identical (and also to reveal this to the viewer). seems his stoicism beat off the clarity in this one, sorry 😭
#meta knight#starstruck dee#gravitational collapse#my comics#have had this one sitting around for *months* while i bit my nails on posting it#and then i thought maybe i *shouldn't* during the shipaganza bc it's not a direct prompt; though i do think you can read it that way#and for ~Reasons~ i needed to post this one sooner rather than later so i had to bite the bullet.#though meta knight has understandably been the second most prompted. they do indeed have the Funnest Possible Dynamic for it#stoic guy and the bug eyed little Creature he doesn't really trust as far as he could throw her (long long way)#so just to clarify this one is NOT for the shipaganza but you can read it that way if you want to#this is just a canon scene between them from her storyline. this is just something they canonically share. starry eyed idiots.#also fwiw i think i probably picked up the shoe-patterns for the knights from postitnotes7#been a headcanon in the back of my mind for a long while but i'm pretty sure i osmosis'd it from their work#especially after drawing post's designs so much for the hnkss. i temporarily forgot how i used to draw their armour ngl#and also btw starstruck deetectives psspsps#i'm planning a much better post about this later (probably in march) but i'm going to start using this tag for Important Posts for y'all#🎀🔍#<- for the starstruck deetectives when there's something significant in the post.#i worry about making it 'too easy' but also want stuff to be accessible. it's just for fun? the OC lore game! ARG but it's just my oc.#that would be fun right? maybe? is that too indulgent? i could probably pull it off if folks were actually interested enough to participate#anyway!! go to bed starflung#also if you read this far: anon is open again! still open for shipaganza prompts but i'm not gonna be finished them in february 😂

i finally finished my sketch-over of Gelato from the other day, and i'm happy with how it turned out :)
#Gelato#my characters#my art#i wasn't sure how far i'd get with this initially honestly...#but im really happy with how he ended up :)#i feel that i could've probably adjusted some things like the thickness of his legs. or how many fingers he had.#since i was mostly worried about going off-model from his original sketch....#but regardless i think he turned out swell#the sketchovers aren't as indepth as i probably would've wanted in the beginning. but i enjoy how it looks#i was also kinda worried his clothes would mess up his existing colour pallette. but i think i happened upon some fitting colours for him#his boards design is just one of the goopy patterns i do in paintdotnet. ive made a few of them and picked one at random#i probably should've picked a different one though because the colours distract from his swimtrunks#but oh well#his shirts design is somewhat based off the mario sunshine shinesprite shirt. i was initially going to draw the shine sprites but#when i started placing splotches on his shirt. they turned out like pawprints. and so i just pivoted to using those instead#the design on his trunks i kinda had a vague idea of like. palm trees and stuff. but ended up drawing spirals and liking that more#his hair is also a mix between what i had in SFM and how his hair actually looks in Helpers sketch

list of plush/business stuff i really need to do that's not actively making plushies
sublimation printing guide
material source list
about section on my website
finish the new sewing pattern instruction template
making a little glossary/beginners guide of sewing related info
update the existing sewing patterns into the new template
#mostly for my own thought organising#but also as a idk info that i have not forgotten about uploading the patterns and that i see everyone asking about how i print my fabric#i wasn't originally gonna make my own guide because there are a bunch out there but most of them still claim you need to set your files to#cmyk and i didn't study graphic design for 5 years to have people despair because their prints look like ass#the thing is basically every digital printer (even your little inkjet at home) has a more vibrant range than cmyk profiles allow#cmyk profiles only make sense when you get things printed in large numbers in offset printers which use very different inks with a less#vibrant range due to it being basically a big stamp print

Could I suggest a design based off of the spotted lanternfly?

I'm not able to buy designs at the moment, so feel free to put it up as an adopt if you wish!
The Lantern Keeper
No performance goes without the lights illuminating the stage: or, in this case, the flames!
The keeper ensures there is neither too much or too little light present so the viewers may experience the atmosphere of the troupe tent in the best intended ways. The little fire lumaflies dance around the keeper, follow the instructions, rest and charge at the lanters and cast the fire and light at the command. The keeper is never without them or at least a single lantern.
---
Link to the ko-fi in the reblog!
#hollow knight#oc#adoptable#adopts#october design challenge#spotted lanternfly#nightmare troupe#insects#simplified the patterns#but look how cool and cute this bug is irl#I like the concept for this one because lighting is important for stage performance#imagine these fire lumaflies also buzzing behind a big lens that makes a spotlight#among other props above the stage where the keeper flies about and uses them

Hey y'all! Do you have any recommendations for other plushie makers or designers with shops where I can buy their plushies?
#the person behind the yarn#every once in a while I like to buy plushies to learn how they were made#not to copy the patterns! not to take them apart!#just to look at them in person so I can see like. how the heck did they do that#and sometimes the answer is “embroidery machine” or “custom fabric” or “airbrushing” so I can't do it#but sometimes the answer is “elastic in the pig's tail” or “hidden ladder stitch in this section to make it turn”#and then I can take that tool and use it in the future to design other plushies#I assume other designers do that with my plushies?#like. there are plushie construction techniques I can learn just from looking at a picture of a finished plushie sometimes#some of them I keep and some of them get added to my stash of 'future baby shower presents'#and I am about to pretty much clear off the shelf where I keep them#because I like to send plushies for the older siblings too when I send baby gifts to people I know#which means this latest round of baby blankets will go out with SIX plushies#so I have space! and I want to see about getting a few more plushies over time#and one of them is a seagull from a major brand because it makes me laugh and also I want to see how they did the beak#but I also like to drag out the plushie selecting process over days. it's fun! gives me something to look forward to!#and I will not be buying six plushies at once (that's expensive) so I will have something to look forward to again in the future! :D
