WANDERING FREE

WISH I COULD BE

PART OF THAT WOOOORLD~~

----------------

My half of an art trade with the lovely @angronsjewelbeetle who drew me the absolute coolest Mer!Corvus from my fic

PLEASE go check him out and look at his incredible art and writings!!!

This is the first proper thing I've drawn in ages (and first are I think I've posted in over 5 years?) I just needed to draw the opening to Act 5 and my reaction to it.

Nothing has gripped me in such a way and forced me to finish an art piece like this in so fucking long. I see far too much of myself in him. I just want them to be ok after this is all over. STARS, this is just Asriel all over again isn't it. But WORSE!/pos

…I guess that could make this vent adjacent? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I also made a shitpost edit that I posted separately here.

There are so many things covered by each other and I just need to share and talk about them. Bonus details and rambles under the cut.

Siffrin's expression was like the first thing I drew and if it didn't turn out as good as it did I probably wouldn't have spent almost 10 days slowly adding to this and I just need to show it because his hands/arms end up covering most of their face.

Nothing much else to say about him, I'm just super happy with how everything about him turned out (I did have to go back and redraw some of his hair towards the end because the line thickness wasn't consistent with everything I drew after.

Next is ME yippeeeee. I have no idea why I spent so long adding details even tho I knew alot of it would get covered by Sif 'cause of how I was posing this.

I even designed a little button based on the Change Ornament + Star (the Change Belief and Lost Belief in The Universe really spoke to me in so many ways)

The gloves are an Archery Glove on the right hand and a Drawing/Writing Glove on the left.

The cloak is based on the style of cloak my mom made for my family for SCA events when I was young. It's just a simple hooded cloak but it has a slit in each side so you can stick your hands threw without needing to open up the cloak. I imagine it being stylized like, the opening doesn't exist until you stick your hands threw and then it can just freely glide around the face of the cloak to wherever it's needed, stopping at the elbow only letting threw the forearm, below the slit beginning to hang off the elbow with gravity while the part above begins to move with the upper arm.

I didn't even try to draw the outfit under the cloak because dealing with the folds of a thick wool cloak was enough for me (you can see how I gave up at the knees because I KNEW Sif was gonna cover them up). What I imagine the outfit being is this big baggy tunic and pants that are tied down at the forearms/calves to keep from getting in the way, it's also supposed to have a big baggy turtleneck thing that can be pulled up as a(nother) hood (iirc, this sorta thing was used so someone could wear a chainmail hood without it grabbing your hair(there ware also like stand alone cloth hoods that did the same thing too but eh, my memory is bad I might just be misremembering this)) but I couldn't figure out the folds and ended up just doing a simple button up thing (which then got covered by Sif's big head anyway.)

I spent soooo long trying to draw my eyes, trying to figure out the shape, and ended up just doing a bunch of small tests to the side before finding one that actually looked right. Drag it over the face and see that it fit EXACTLY, didn't even need to redraw it or anything.... unless you're talking about the other eye in which case I just duplicated it, flipped, and did some perspective warping until it looked ok because I could NOT draw that again especially at a different perspective (can I just say I have no idea how I drew that creepy eye but I love it, it was the first eye I drew and I just threw 4 lines down what the fuck how. Also the Mira-ish one looks cute too but didn't fit the expression.) I also needed to figure out what the hell was wrong with the expression I had before so you get 2 faces from me figuring that out (turns out I had the eyebrows facing the wrong way.)

I ALMOST FUCKING FORGOT MY FRECKLES TOO AAAAAAAAA (they're actually missing from the version I posted in the official ISaT server.) It was super weird trying to add them at the obscenely low resolution I was drawing at and they're probably gonna get compressed to hell and back but I think they're cute.

final thing.

Why is my hair so similar to Sif's but longer? Like, you can see I was sketching over my drawing of him to make sure I'd keep the proportions right when I started working on myself but in the process I realized that I was basically drawing over his hair but longer for mine (drawing I was using as ref here made by @leemak)

Add that to the uncomfortably long list of things I have in common with Siffrin I guess.

Art/animation ideas

Cards 1.1 Standart playing cards. Tango as Ace of Diamonds, False as Queen of Hearts, heads and body parts. Not sure about False, but Tango is definitely Ace of Diamonds. 1.2 Beef's card game. View on the playing field from above. On the one side Grian, Mumbo and Impulse are benched, while New Grian is active. Because of the last update, TNT is his effect card. On the other side Tango is an active card, with custom endermite effect card. Iskall and False are benched. Only problem is that I have no idea what to do with item cards.

Mumbo art 2.1 Mumbo, chairs, box and empty spaces. There are many smaller art pieces that can be created to show his lonely first few weeks in the Infinity Room, and I've actually already made one! It sits in my drafts but I'm hesitant to show it, at least without explaning what's going on. I feel like I have the perfect title for it, but art itself is unreadable, unclear. 2.2 Enderman Mumbo. Self explanatory. Just model sheets + shitpost animation using Unleash The Magic where part of the readerbase progressively stresses Mumbo more with each ask and the final frame is just Enderman Mumbo. That's it.

"This is Home" Mumbo and Tango animation. Audio is half of the song This Is Home by Cavetown (starting from the line "Are you dead?" and until the end). I've just finished making a storyboard for it, but there is a catch - instead of drawings there are just words. A bunch of them. I only tried to save my ideas in case I'll stumble on this project later and want to remember what was so special about it or if someone else decides to help me with it.

False's walking cycle, but camera zooms on her face for a second or two and she just starts grinning like the villain.

Shitpost level sketches of False and Impulse singing Hermitgang in front of Tango.

Iskall animation. Song is People I Don't Like

Title said it all except for the "I'm bad at drawing, so those are ideas that someone else can run with and do themselves". Not that I won't try - probably I'll do some sketches, but most likely I'll either be very unsatisfied or embarrased with the result and won't show anything, or give up almost immediately because I can't capture hard perspective angles from my imagination on the paper. As of now, I'll try my best to rediscover how to draw (last time I drew anyting was a year ago and I wasn't good even then), then I'll work on False animation to establish style, and after that on "This is Home".
