Hermit-A-Day May - Day 6: MumboJumbo

Day 6 is Mumbo, and one of the most complicated designs yet...

RMAU-Verse Mumbo is a Shiftwalker - a type of Shapeshifter that shifts form via, well, eating what they want to shift into. The frequency of how often they have to eat something from whatever form they're trying to keep depends on the Shiftwalker and the situation. Shiftwalkers are generally featureless except for two things - their distinguishing feature (the Mustache, in Mumbo's case) and their pelt. The pelt of a Shiftwalker is a magical thing, and part of what allows them to shift. With the first of each species of creature or other thing they eat (with intentions to shift), an identifying feature of that creature grows into/from their pelt, including the base of their pelt Examples for Mumbo's pelt include his base which is a tasmanian devil's chest fur (at the collar), chicken feathers, human flesh, carrot sprouts, a wolf tail, a fox tail, zombie flesh (not visible from this view), potato sprouts/eyes, enderman flesh, cow hide/tail, pig hide/tail, and Watcher feathers/Void/Eyes... (<- *pointing* Lore hints!!!) Their pelts are also a lot like Selkie pelts, in that they CAN be removed. However, unlike Selkies, in doing so, it simply affects how ACCURATE their shift is rather than making them unable to shift...

(also yes he does not have eyes, but no he isn't blind, he CAN see - don't ask me for sure how though, I don't know yet...)

But anyways!!! I've been trying to figure out my Trueform Mumbo design for as long as the Grian one (aka 3 years, sheesh...) so I'm really pleased that I finally got him done, even if it was literally tonight, lol! I actually ended up with some unexpected design elements that I'm actually super ford of - particularly the braided leg feathering, along with the tail and the... not-skirt-poncho-thingy lol. I was struggling with getting his feet right, when I came across an image on Pinterest (that I'll add below a cut) of a draft horse's legs with their feathering braided, and I went "Oh. Oh that's gorgeous and perfect!" And so I added it, and it finally made his feet look right!!! And that vibe led into the vibe for the waist-covering (as I've been calling it) being vaguely cowboy inspired... As for the tail... I hadn't originally planned on giving him a tail, but I saw a fantasy horse drawing while on Pinterest (also added below the cut) with that style tail, alongside several unicorn drawings with it, and, well, I was sold, XD. But all in all, I'm REALLY pleased with how he turned out!!! There's a lot of little details, and I think they all come together pretty well!!!

Oh, and one last fun fact! If Grian finds him sleeping in his trueform, he absolutely decides to have some fun and draw a face on Mumbo's blank face... ;D

The fantasy horse with the fancy tail... (I don't know who it's drawn by, I can't quite read the name in the image sorry......)

Oh, Hazel, look! The field! It’s covered with blood!’

Fiver is my favorite character in Watership Down, he's just like me fr. I was afraid this wouldn't read especifically as Fiver, but alas... i liked my initial sketch a lot so i kept it as it was.

this weird guy is really fucking up the geocatch party vibe 🙄🎂🩸

I’ve decided I prefer doing more pixel-like digital art instead of smooth lines because I hate doing them so much.

He wishes he had more control over them 😂

Time taken: 1 hour 50 minutes

I also found that I like drawing over funny images so now I have a whole Pinterest board to draw.

since i've made those pseudo-sprites (pseudo because i just do them in my own style 'cause recreating the game's style would take me way too much time and energy and i just dont wanna do that lol) and intro cards for Józia and Rosienne, i've decided i need to make them for my other ocs too because i need everything to match so, first off ― my most important boy!

he was actually a long overdue a new reference image since the one i have in his intro doesn't match the way i draw him anymore

Nothing like motiving myself to practice drawing kisses from reference by making the final results feature my FEH girlies.

after attempting to commission art of boba fett without his helmet, i am forced to consider that a good number of artists, subconsciously or not, cannot accept that temuera morrison has always been hot despite his lack of european features, and honestly this explains a lot about the fucking travesty that is every single clone's face in TCW and TBB

Anyone else ever notice that Leo's debut jacket is pretty much the same color as the wall in Carl's room?

"Feels so, cruel"

I've decided to do some fun fan art and draw Sci-Twi and Sunset as The Veronicas, based on their Cruel music video.

I just find the outfits and posing interesting. It kind of just gives out a vibe. You know?
