Guild Wars 2 OC stuff: So I finally figured out the full body design for Vallotash (Mordremoth's Scion a.k.a. who Mourynn actually is) They're more or less the same person, but it's complicated, but leans more to Vall believing she's Mourynn and kind of is since she inhabits her body and memories, but is technically an imposter and is very depressed and in denial about it. Inspiration from Jahai Bluffs: "Are you a dragon dreaming that it's a hero? If you were, how would you know?" (also it's my tumblr banner lol) I'm still sketching out the origin story to explain how this happens, but for now here is this sketch bc I am happy with how this turned out and wanted to post it early. It's basically self preservation turned to parasitism to accidental death of host to unintentional identity theft out of guilt/tribute + memory absorption to make her think she's the sapling + amnesia about the whole event taking place over the span of a year stuck in the dream (to super condense her origin lore). I'll finish these sketches once I'm done her origin story pages, or if I get possessed to do it earlier bc I'm still happy with how this turned out and might want to keep working on it sooner, hehe.

Here is more sketches of Mourynn/Vallotash under the cut:

She has some simpler looks for when she's flattened down. She looks SO SILLY but I love it. Beware the Scion of Mordremoth: This freaking wiggly silly noodle thing. A terrifying menace!! Beloathed parasite daughter vine of the mighty Jungle Elder Dragon!! /does a snake blep (Also the first two head sketches I did of her from last year when she still didn't have a body designed yet lmao. I still have to figure out how large she actually is, as well as her colouration. She'll have to match Mourynn's, so she's gonna be a funny mix of the colours in the cool spectrum, which doesn't look very plant-like, but sylvari can be all different colours, and she has the whole poisonous/hallucinogenic thing going on, as well as some Soo-won influence bc she's based off a leafy sea dragon and is very attuned to water, so it kinda works yeah????) I also have no idea what her large chin whisker things are supposed to be. I just kind of made them up on the spot and fell in love with them, so they're STAYING, even if they make no sense. I mostly just love that they'd look so cool underwater and while glowing in the dark, and they are vaguely alien and jellyfish-like.

#wip gallery #gw2 OC #guild wars 2 #sylvari OC #vallotash #mourynn #dragons #Making sure to keep gw2 visible in case this reaches outside my gw2 bubble; I don't want it labelled generic fantasy or D&D #also sorry i can never leave short concise descriptions lsjfaskf #i'm plagued with the fear of misunderstandings and have to over-explain everything out of paranoia #I'll still probably change/adjust a few things; but overall I like how funky and over the top ornate she looks #mostly bc i like to envision her being all weird and alien like underwater #and even while floating in the air/gliding it gives her a cool looking/elegant silhouette #also she can't fly!!! she can only swim; glide; and skim over water; but she's also a very good climber!!! #I also have to figure out a watermark for the final pieces; for now I have more earlier wips of these saved just in case

Post-revolution Annie just posts random videos of Finnick and their son on the internet and they always go viral because people have only ever seen Finnick as playboy extraordinare and now they see Finnick being a dumbass father who's trying his best and it's very endearing and 90% of the time the camera pans out to an unimpressed Johanna or Katniss and it's great

#the hunger games #finnick odair #katniss everdeen #annie cresta #johanna mason #listen he's trying #he's never done anything like this before #he needs a minute #finnick ringing his mum like “MUM THE BABY IS CRYING ALL NIGHT WHAT AM I DOING WRONG 😭” #“mum he reached for my lobster can he have it” “finnick hes 6 weeks old” #“mum is he meant to be throwing himself off every surface??” “i mean you did so take that as you will” “NOT HELPFUL” #“can i take him swimming yet?? i want to show him the sharks 😁😁” “finnick hes 2 months old ffs” #Annie's just watching the chaos and texting Finnick's mum like “sorry mum dont stress it I got this” #Finnick's mum just sat there like “at least one of you knows wtf is going on” #jokes on her annie just has a million parenting books she flips through to answer her questions before heading to google #annies search history includes 'how old til baby can visit ocean' #'can i make baby food out of anything' #'how to tell my husband that hes doing fine but holding the baby like that is going to send me into a coma'

narukana bffs. you agree 🫶

#listen listen. theyre friends #i think they shouldve bonded more during the moonlight disco story #i think arashi should've painted kanata's nails blue with waterproof nailpolish #i think they would have fun “swimming” together too (kanata floating while arashi splashes around) #arashi would make kanata wear sunscreen lmao #omg now im imagining kanata cooking arashi dinner as thanks for doing his nails/hanging out with him/etc #it'd probably just be sushi or smth similar since he only likes cooking cold food + loves fish #but i feel like arashi would l o v e sushi so there's no problem there (if there's any story that says she doesnt please lmk) #anyways i also think arashi would love just like. venting/gossiping to kanata too because he's really chill and a good listener #like she can just vent without worrying that he's gonna try to give her advice she doesn't want #she's like “i had the *worst* experience with someone at my modeling shoot today” and goes on a long rant #all kanata says at the end of it is “puka-puka-ing makes all bad ”emotions“ float away~” #and arashi's like “omg you're right a bath *does* sound good right now” #they have matching friendship bracelets also. i think that would be cute #okay headcanon dump over for now #ensemble stars #enstars #kanata shinkai #arashi narukami #narukana #idk what their ship name is 🤔 #arashi x kanata #kanata x arashi #<- figured i'd go ahead and tag these even though i dont ship them romantically

shes a giant mime who loves sleeping under water, she doesn't care much for humans but she enjoys spooking them so much they skidaddle out of the swamp she hangs around in

#colorquest oc #oc #digital art #oc art #art #doodles #oc design #i did a height comparison to an average height of an adult human and jesus christ #she can pick up a whole person by the leg if she wanted too #she doesnt like standing out a lot #her green colors match the swampy water she swims in #and deep waters hide her massive height difference #and she just likes bein sneaky n' all that

I drew Ahti II and his never before seen, very best friend Karleeen (three e's is intentional) for Halloween! They're dressed as Aziraphale and Crowley from Good Omens :) Someone likened Ahti II to Azi once and given that he already had a dark-haired "best friend" who is part edgy animal... it was only natural to have this costume arrangement. Please don't spoil anything about the show though, I am only in the first few episodes of season 1!!

On another note, imagine having to buy pants with eight pant legs. The cost would be insane...

#i almost forgot to post! #self indulgent art post because ahti II and karleeen are my everything <3 #oh my god oh my god they-- you dont get it they-- #they------- #theyre besties and they met when ahti II was looking to be alone in the shoals of the coast and accidentally startled karleeen via jumping- #on a rock in all his fishy glory and theyre both a little bit socially awkward for different reasons and have a hard time being in large - #groups but together theyre so open and carefree and they like hiking and swimming and drawing and they go on little adventures together - #where they have picnics and ahti II loves to dump all his fish knowledge on karleeen and karleeen loves to listen when shes working on - #something and they have each others backs and would in fact fight someone if they insulted the other and karleeen makes ahti II laugh - #so much and he often feels very burdened by his responsibility and like he has to be perfect for the whole world and hes only really - #comfortable talking to karleeen about his woes and he also absolutely listens to karleeens troubles and helps her with her abandonment - #issues and and and---- #theyre in a funny sort of relationship where neither would be opposed to getting married and theyre a little bit in love but theyre happy - #to exist as best friends and just want to see where things go #ummm yeah! yippee !! ahti II lore! i dont talk about that often. thank you for reading! i appreciate that. #ahti II #my art #halloween

The growth of this little creature even just compared to last year (but especially her first months home) is wild!

Her confidence is ever growing and this weekend she participated in multiple swim times, walking over her first suspension bridge, and jumping off her first dock!

#no videos of the dock but we were able to bridge it surprisingly fast #she jumped from the dock to me (and then gently placed in the water) and then did two hesitant jumps on her own which I was not expecting #she tries so hard #just a fantastic little creature #honestly such an ideal adventure dog #you want a hiking buddy who's just as excited to be stuffed in a sleeping bag for the night? #it's a piggle #turnpike #video #swimming #her two swimming lessons gave her more confidence than I expected

i swear i have the worst nightmares when i feel my best mentally. what the fuck is up with that

#let me be happy u stupid fucking brain #i had so many weird dreams last night #one was kinda cool although the plot was weird and stressful #my mom lived in this weird old house which funny enough i’ve dreamt about this specific house before and it always belongs to my mom #she had filled up her shower all the way and i went to use the bathroom and she had two giant PINK koi fish swimming in there #like what the fuck 🤣 #she said they had gotten so big she needed a new aquarium for them #and then it got scary and traumatic and the rest of the dream had nothing to do with the fish #but it made me want an aquarium so so bad like ughhh i wish i could have a huge aquarium with pretty fish #it just makes me sad for the fish idk if they live happy lives in a box i hope they do maybe they don’t notice?? lmao idk nothing abt fish #brain vomit

[thatswhatsushesaid]

i cannot overstate my father’s borderline saintly forbearance regarding my mother’s outrageous fuckery

because when he found out that my mother had literally lied to him about having terminal cancer for the sole purpose of tricking him into marrying her, this was not enough to make him leave her. they stayed married for nine years.

i wish i knew what the final straw was, honestly, because her starting gambit was already so bold. even all the other fabrications i found out about years later don’t quite stick that particular landing. was it when she claimed she was a michael stipe groupie? no, she was a keith richards groupie. no, she used to pall around with the talking heads. no it was michael stipe—

anyway this is why i don’t even bother asking my mother about any hereditary issues that i might have inherited from her side of the family, who knows what unhinged and entirely fictitious nonsense she will trot out.

#it’s overshare o’clock somewhere #ray.txt #the first time my husband spoke to her on the phone and mentioned he used to be a lifeguard #she told him this whole dramatic story about rescuing a drowning man from the tennessee river #and how she was 90lbs soaking wet at the time she was a lifeguard and this man was over 200lbs #and once they got off the phone i had to sit my husband down and tell him gently that no actually #my mom was never a fucking lifeguard #she never rescued anyone from the tennessee river #she one time pulled her little cousin out of the deep end of a swimming pool #but he wasn’t drowning he just didn’t want to go inside #husband was like oh shit uh. okay

Everyone needs a sugar-sweet mergirlfriend! (Patreon)

#Doodles #Original #The Mouse and the Mermaid #Just Desserts #Continuing the mermaid theme - I was curious how Soda would look as a Mercandy and hm well lol #I wonder if there's a specific ship dynamic I like between land-dwellers and mercreatures! Lol #As always it's fun to interpret non-JD characters into the Just Desserts universe <3 #Pop is a multi-tiered wedding cake! :D So fancy and special! #Probably just a small one but shhh she's a mouse she'll never know the difference #I love her gloves hehe <3 #There aren't any anthros in Just Desserts :0 I think she'd be looked at weird haha #They probably Could exist they just don't currently #Go and mope at the lake where the pretty half-animal ladies swim around! #Actually now that I think of it that is also probably an element of why most mercandies are avoided lol #Other than the fact that they're Eldritch to residents living in the equivalent of acid lakes and all that lol #Gotta be very careful and dry off completely before a smooch! Burning kisses huh #Hmmm now that makes me want to think about the water cycle and the natural variations of sugar-water hmmmm #I've mentioned before that when a mercandy dies her body is broken down into the surrounding water until it's eventually saturated #I guess new mercandies are ''born'' when another dies in a fully saturated lake haha - she breaks apart into Jellyfish (hehe) and a new egg #Little sugar crystal egg <3 Cuute #Ahem anyway! #I think Soda looks lovely as a mercandy <3 She'd look so stunning with the sun streaming through her! Lit up from the inside out literally #I do like the shape differences she has from Honey&EasterNest's girlfriend haha - their ear-fins especially :) #And Soda lacks the signature sharp teeth haha - ''How do you defend yourself??'' ''🙂 🤫’‘ ‘‘????’‘ lol #The real answer is that she headbutts and fin-slaps but that's only in her normal body lol #Mercandy are blown sugar! They're a bit more fragile! They need to be sharp to slice! It'd be quite a cultural shock haha

It’s June 10th! So here is Port reading the Lusiads, which is basically a fanciful retelling of the first sea voyage to India with roman mythology in the mix, with Venus being the protector of the Portuguese and Bacchus trying to foil them.

And yes, I realise I clearly like water and history coming out of books lol

#my art #aph portugal #hws portugal #broooo my headache is killing meeee #trevo said Port is looking at the naked lady and YEAH OK IT WASN'T INTENTIONAL but Venus was there for him ok she deserves the attention #i wanted to add more but you know....you know #so we have the two gods and viri4thus and ter3sa and h3nry and afons0 h3nriques #and then the story of eg4s mon1z o aio and ofc p3dro and in3s #4damastor is obligatory and m4griço and his buddies #and the island of loves which is just so funny. trust c4mões to reward his sailors by getting them laid in an island full of nymphs #'god would approve of this' and it did the inquisition approved it good for him #and a lil c4mões up there cos according to legend he saved the manuscript of the poem after a shipwreck #by holding it up while swimming with one arm #anyway i love c4mões and i love that he bitches about getting no respect in this...the national epic. love it #as you can see i prefer to focus on the literary side of today hehehee
