From the dream to the pool

I'm back! Was busy animating for one project and it's almost done now. In the meantime, here's the art I started in the end of 2024. It took a while but I'm quite fond of it

Hey! Getting a job is going incredibly slow so I’ve decided to try auctioning adoptables on YCH, first time so kinda nervous as I’m not entirely sure about everything I am doing, but I’ll learn as I go!

Sb: $8.67 (random number ik)

Mb: $1.50

Ab: $50.00

Auction will be up for 7 days

If anyone has advice for future adoptable auctioning, I’d love to know!

Hi and oh. •_•

[izzy-art-879]

Not Much, But Just Two Simple Questions;

What are Their Favorite Colors and Type Of Fashion?

Soleil: Good question! My favorite color is any shade of pink! Magenta, bright pink, neon pink, you name it! My type of fashion is anything cute!

Cece: Red and black for me, baby! Sometimes a little bit of pink if I want to spice things up. My type of fashion is punk. Give me a leather jacket and jeans and I'll turn into a punk princess!

Elianna: I like blue and white. Blue because of the blue sky and white because of the fluffy clouds! I think my type is anything cozy and warm. I also heard of Cloudcore outfits and I think that might be my type too!

Honor: My favorite color is purple. Purple is the color of nobility, curiosity and wisdom so I believe it suits me well! I don't really have a type but if I had to pick one, I'd go with uniforms or business suits. They make me feel more important!

Dawn: There's so many nice colors to chose from, but my favorites are green, yellow and pink. I just think they're really pretty! My type of fashion? Hmm...again, there's so many! But I think I'd go with bohemian and floral prints. I love them a lot, plus my mom wears a ton of clothes like that so I may have gotten that love from her!

hi can you give aesthetics? like any that would fit the feeling "blank"? its for one of our alters since they dont really know what they like! thanks + sorry if its too confusing honestly

Of course! I'll provide images as well, so you can get a general vibe. There aren't many that fit this kinda theme, but a few are ;

Cleancore! ;;

"Cleancore (also known as Safetycore or Hygienicore) refers to an aesthetic based around clean objects or objects intended to sanitize. It includes soaps, sponges, and bathtubs, as well as places that may seem to have been recently cleaned. It can be divided into two subaesthetics, each of which looks vastly different - High Cleancore deals with the adult world and products aimed at adults, such as washed-out soaps and sterile hotel rooms, while Low Cleancore deals with products aimed at children, such as bath toys and rubber ducks." *

Minimalism! ;;

"Minimalism refers to a lack of clutter or unnecessary detail. It has had a widespread influence, ranging from the arts to lifestyle." *

and finally,

Cloudcore! ;;

"Cloudcore visuals have a strong focus on skies with clouds of unique shapes and designs. Most popularly, Cloudcore visuals are often taken around sunrise or sunset for varied colors or the plain blue sky to highlight the clouds' shapes. Because of clouds' associations with softness and purity of color, the photos are often saved to Kawaii, Softie, Cleancore, and Angelcore blogs." *

I hope these help them! If not, feel free to send in another ask!

Do you have a backstory for cuphead and mugman in the cyberpunk au?? Also what aesthetic is the cyber punk mostly based on or is it just only cyberpunk???

Ok I don’t think I really have a lot for Cuphead and Mugman��s backstory it’s pretty much like OG IM. Cup and Mugs gambled their souls tried to get their souls back, lost, becomes trained by Black Hat, and they become hit men working for the Devil bringing us to when they join the quest. The only major thing I can think of in terms of differences from that story line would be how they got their cyberware so I guess I’ll explain that.

Simply put there was a mission that went wrong when they were about 13 and 16 years old. They weren’t expecting explosives on the mission so cup and mugs woke up days later both missing an arm, cup losing an eye, and Hat and Flug barely managing to salvage Mug’s eye. Thankfully, Dr. Flug and Hat work/invent a lot of cyberware tech so the cupbos were quickly set up with cyberware. Eventually, Cuphead got an AI program installed in his cyberware. The AI is called Chalice (the Devil chose the name as a cruel joke) and she works as kind of a personal assistant to Cuphead and Mugman. Cuphead hates her. Mugs doesn’t mind her. That would have been a year later max after the explosion.

Now. Second question. Which, honestly, I cussing loved this one. This was so much fun to answer. Ok, so, in terms of aesthetics it depends on the location: Hell, the Surface, and the Upper. (Yes I had to look up what the different types of aesthetics are, bear with me. Please.)

For Hell its mostly steampunk/steelpunk inspired in general. I guess it also has some kind of a dark academia/victorian vibe to it. Hell is industrial, dark, dirty, and crude. Pipes and machines are everywhere making up its entire world in a Feísmo aesthetic for buildings and architecture and things. Think of it like the Surface and Upper are much more advanced than Hell, Hell was stuck in the steampunk era because of lack of resources and its seclusion from the rest of the world. So. It’s old, barely functioning, and depressing.

On the Surface you have two different types of settings that are the most important in terms of IM and the cyberpunk AU in general. The city and not the city. (this being places like Sillyvision and the Inkwell Isles.) For the non-city areas its not nearly as technologically advanced as in the city. They still have modern technology but it blends into suburban living. I imagine something kinda vintage and retro. Like retro-futurism, atompunk, technocore, old web. You know. Vintage. I guess.

Now in the city is probably what everyone wants to know. For this I have just a modge-podge of aesthetics. In general I think its cybergrunge. For the tech elements its some variations of abstract tech, nanopunk, and hacker core, obviously. For clothing I took major inspiration from techware styles. Other aesthetics I used in majority were things like arcadecore, raver, glowwave, synthwave, neo-Tokyo, urbancore, and citypop. It’s a lot. I know.

Now the Upper looks almost completly opposite of Hell and the Surface. Pretty much Solarpunk/cyberparadism in majority. I guess I also used some aspects of bloomcore and cloudcore too. This place is supposed to be a utopian ‘paradise’.

In Summary:

Hell: Steampunk/steelpunk, Feísmo, Dark academia, Victorian

Surface out of city: Vintage, Suburban, Retro-futurism, Atompunk, Technocore, Old web

Surface in city: Cybergrunge, Abstract tech, Nanopunk, Hackercore, Techware, Arcadecore, Raver, Glowwave, Synthwave, Neo-Tokyo, Urbancore, Citypop

Upper: Solarpunk/cyberparadism, Bloomcore, Cloudcore

Guide to Cloudviewing ☁️

A soft practice in watching the sky and dreaming gently.

🌥️ 1. Choose Your Sky

Time of Day: Early morning (dawn pastels) or late afternoon (golden haze) are ideal. Twilight and full moon cloudscapes are also magical.

Weather: Partly cloudy is perfect—look for cumulus or cirrus clouds. Avoid stormy skies unless you're chasing drama.

Location: A hill, rooftop, field, or just your window. Anywhere you can see the sky uninterrupted.

🎧 2. Curate the Atmosphere

Soundtrack: Soft ambient music, lo-fi, or classical (optional, but deeply atmospheric).

> > Soft playlists on Spotify or YouTube will work the best. try key words like "Lofi" or "Calming playlist" < <

Outfit: Cozy, pastel layers. Something you can relax in.

Items: A soft blanket (To lay on), a journal, a camera or phone (for aesthetic cloud photos), maybe a hot drink. (Hot cocoa, tea, or coffee works)

☁️ 3. Watch the Clouds (with feeling)

Don’t just see them—feel them.

Let your thoughts drift with the shapes. Notice which ones resemble animals, objects, feelings.

Reflect on what the sky tells you today. Let it be a mirror of your inner weather.

🪞 4. Journal or Daydream

Write what you see, feel, or imagine.

Use poetic language. Be soft and open with yourself.

If writing’s not your thing, just daydream. Cloudviewing is a space for emotional play and gentleness.

🎨 5. Capture & Share (if you like)

Take aesthetic photos. Edit them with soft filters (think pastel tones, low contrast).

Post to a cloudcore tag on Tumblr, Pinterest, or a moodboard.

Or, keep it just for you—some clouds are too sacred to share.

☁️ Bonus: Types of Clouds & Their Vibes

Cumulus – Fluffy optimism, childlike wonder. Cirrus – High thoughts, fleeting memories. Stratus – Melancholy, quiet blankets of mood. Altocumulus – Dreamlike puzzles, scattered feelings.

My version of the mermaid — #MersthaticMay

꒷꒦︶꒷꒦︶ ๋ ࣭ ⭑꒷꒦ ꒷꒦︶꒷꒦︶ ๋ ࣭ ⭑꒷꒦ ꒷꒦︶꒷꒦︶ ๋ ࣭ ⭑꒷꒦

So I thought about it and decided I want to try creating my own version of this challenge.

The idea came to me completely spontaneously. I was thinking about how my "style" keeps changing-which basically reflects how my real-life style shifts too: one phase I want one aesthetic, another phase something totally different, you get the idea. And then it hit me-why not draw mermaids in different aesthetics/ cores? Like, why the heck not? x)

Just to clarify, I haven't seen this exact idea anywhere before, so I'm not claiming to be some genius who invented it. But if anyone else wants to join and uses #MerstheticMay, please taq me too-I'd love to see what you come up with! (And hey, you can always hit follow while you're at it :p)
