"Lament! Terror! Despair! I shall kindly teach them all to you! And in your final moment, I... shall kill you by my own hand!!"

pandora hearts print for anime north this weekend 🥀🖤🤍

I also put this up on my inprnt! there's a sitewide sale for 40% off right now 🌟

For this drawing, I really wanted to emphasize the gothic and chaotic, convoluted nature of the series. Pandora Hearts has become a lot of things to me, as someone who's read it since I was like, 14 years old. but I eventually found the perfect words to sum up the series - a cross between a Shakespearean tragedy and a Grimm fairy tale.

The ink brush + watercolour brushes I used turned out so well together!! I wanted the style to be kind of a nod to like the manga cover art you'd see from the late 90s to 2000s, kind of like Mochizuki's early approach to traditional art.

A lighter approach to both the lineart + coloring also helped me not strain my arm too much - besides work, I stopped doing full illustrations due to the amount of work being heavy on my arm/shoulder T__T. my last full illustrations were the TGAA/DGS zine + WHA zine pieces back in Dec-Jan, but my heart really lies in illustrations more than anything and I definitely want to get back into it!! (as long as my physical health allows it!!)

anyways, above is the thumbnail/inspiration board for this drawing! I also did some quick chickenscratch studies of others' drawings to help me get a sense of their composition. I started on the top left and then made a sort of meandering curve through... definitely went through a lot of ideas for this one. If I explained the intended symbolism.. I would be here.. all day..............

the candles were definitely first inspired by an animation of a lighter I did during art skool... and then I did this AA Dahlia animated illust... and then this OC charm (below) I did in 2022...? maybe I should draw fire more often. it's like, the way that fire looks in animated keyframes that I really like drawing out, and I guess I kinda really enjoyed translating that into a non moving visual medium??

This drawing simultaneously took SO long but I also sped through it?? I had to like... not dwell too long on certain parts... like for example I think some individual character compositions really could be a lot stronger... because I knew this would be a beast of a drawing, I didn't want to spend an unnecessary amount of time focusing on details when I should be looking at the big picture. and I know that's a bad habit of mine!! I'm trying to unlearn my perfectionism!!

thanks for reading if you got this far, hope ya enjoy it!! and I hope I'll keep drawing Pandora Hearts in the future (clearly I haven't stopped since high school omg) and I hope to draw some more Vanitas someday beyond just chibis!

Your comic series is the first Rottmnt comic Iv ever read! It was an amazing first impression to the Rottmnt fandom! Could you teach me how to draw the turtle boys ( rise turtles)?

Also love the new update!

Aw! I’m so glad my comic made on good impression on you! ^v^

Of course! I’d love to help you!

So first thing’s first, here’s the boys the best I can draw them. The most important thing when learning to draw new characters is identifying what makes them look like them. We’ll start with the faces since that’s, in most cases, the point of focus.

Leo’s face is a pretty tall and vaguely pentagonal. His face is also very angular, the corners of his cheeks and top of his head are very sharp. Leo has the traditional style mask with tails that drop down to about his waist.

Donnie has that smart boi forehead and majestic eyebrows. His forehead often has a soft curve to it while, similarly to Leo, his cheeks and jaw use sharp angles. Remember too that the top of his head is flat, there’s no curve. His mask is that newer pirate style that wraps over the top of his head, with the tails looking like curvy squares.

Mikey’s face is a combination of a rounded square and a circle. The top of his head, while much rounder than Donnie’s, is somewhat square. The bottom of his face is a curve. Sometimes I draw the curve in line segments, but it’s not a requirement and won’t impact the way he looks. In general though, Mikey has a very circular face. His mask is the traditional TMNT style with the rounded bouncing tails on the back.

Raph is arguably the hardest to get right for some odd reason. Really though Raph’s face is just a shorter version of Leo’s face with slightly more exaggerated angles. His face is like a fat pentagon. Also tip: Raph’s eyes are always just a little smaller then you think they’re going to be. Trace some scenes from the ROTTMNT movie, you’ll see what I mean. Raph’s mask is the same style as Donnie’s where it covers the whole top of his head. There’s a small nick on the edge above his right cheek and the tails are tattered.

Okay, next are their markings! They play a lot in how easily identifiable they are.

I figured these diagrams should help as a little map as to what spots go where.

Alright, now we’ll look at their shells. There are many amazing diagrams and explanations for drawing their shells on Pinterest I’ve found, but I’ll sum it up here as best I can.

Leo’s shell is very sleek in design making his is profile look the thinnest of his brothers. Many people describe his general body shape as being an inverted triangle.

Donnie’s shell is very straight with hardly any curves. I didn’t include his battle shell in this since that qualifies as “gear” in my opinion, so you get to see what Donnie’s shell looks like! You’ll notice that the sides of his shell are very wide, which I’m guessing is because the curve of his carapace is so shallow.

Mikey’s shell is very similar to Leo’s but is a lot thicker and boxier(haha get it? Cause he’s like, a Box Turtle? :D I’m so lame…). He’s also much rounder and the distance between his plastron and carapace is pretty big.

Raph’s shell is probably the most complex of the boys because of all the spikes. Good things to keep in mind are that the spikes on the top of his plastron angle out, and spikes on his carapace flow up. In general think of Raph as a pentagon, he’s got big broad shoulders and arms and almost comically short legs. (And yes, I’m aware that I didn’t include the side of his shell here, it was too big to fit on the diagram. But just to give you an idea of where it should be, around the “w” in “flow” is where it should connect to his carapace.

Okay! So now that we’ve covered what the boys look like, let’s apply it to their bodies!

Here’s a quick sketch of Leo. “Oh, but Indie” I hear people say, “I can only draw basic shapes and stick figures!” Well to that I say good because that’s what I’m doing too!

For drawing action, it’s crucial to capture the energy of the character. And in a style like Rise’s energy is an iconic trait. So I’ve re-invented this “shape method” to actually be useful. The number one thing is that these shapes are loose guides as to the positioning of the body. Don’t think of these shapes as “well chests are like cubes and arms are like rectangles.” These shapes are place holders. I could replace those circles with stars and it wouldn’t change anything. I just use circles because they’re faster to scribble and stand out against the hard angles of everything else.

Here’s a picture of the shapes overlayed on the image, as you see, these shapes are guides to help comprehend a complex angle in 3D space. Sadly I don’t have much I can assist with on proportions, since I learned purely by studying total uncreepily real life people and myself (I swear I’m posing in the mirror for purely educational reasons! Okay!?).

But anyway, for this kind of thing, practice is the only remedy. Just draw action pose after action pose. Trace scenes from ROTTMNT and the movie to teach your eye to see what things should look like and to train your brain to recognize patterns of shapes and angles.

I hope you found this at all helpful. I’m not really sure how great of a teacher I am but people keep asking questions like these so I guess I’m okay. Glad you liked ROTP so much and I’m glad it made such a good impression on you! ^v^

Good question! :]

so, the posts on this blog about facial difference inspired me to make an oc with facial difference- specifically strabismus and a port wine stain. she's pretty much become one of my favourite characters to draw and develop, ive taken care to make sure she doesn't fall into shitty tropes. however, i have had one problem- in the world she lives in, rebels like her cover their face most of the time. ive been really struggling on how to design her mask/covering in a way that doesn't feel shitty, and doesn't feel like it's trying to cover her facial difference. and i know that technically it's not as bad if she's not the only character who wears a mask, but i still don't wanna push it, if you know what i mean? so it would be awesome if you could give suggestions on how i could handle her mask. here's a reference of her for. reference, and some ideas ive had for masks. thank you for taking the time, and for this blog in general!

[Image description: Traditional drawing of a light-skinned girl with pink straight hair, smiling. She has a large port-wine stain on the left side of her face, and her right eye goes inward. Around her are three headshot sketches;

first shows her in a bandana that goes over her nose with "bandana doesn't obscure FD but hides smile + necklace" written above, second shows a half-mask that covers only the right side of her face, with "early concept, feels tacky, shows port-wine stain but not strabismus :(", third shows a domino mask, with "domino mask, do I even have to explain? No-go" next to it. End image description.]

Hi!

I think that something close to the second one would actually be kinda fun (no irony or sarcasm). If we're talking about a story where everyone wears a mask, having the character with FD wear one that covers everything except for the FD is actually subversive! I never thought I would say that, but it does feel like it is.

Not sure how strict of a design should it be, but a diagonal - her bottom right to her top left - mask would be nice!

I tried to write down a detailed description of what I mean but it was coming out rather overcomplicated, so I hope you're okay with me doing a few demonstrative sketches; a diagonal and rather-silly option, an idea for the bandana with a drawn smile and the kind of tie that would show her necklace, and an idea for the half-mask but with an eye with strabismus painted on the mask.

So here are the suggestions! I haven't drawn in a while so my skills are kinda rusty, but I hope it conveys the concept! My personal favorite would be the first one - I know it barely counts as a mask but then again, in comics it's common that someone is unrecognizable when they wear a pair of glasses, so maybe it's not as farfetched haha.

The second one would be totally fine by my standards, but I'm assuming that her necklace has some kind of significance in the story, so maybe she could cross it at the back and tie it in the front instead for it to be more visible (or wear the necklace over it even?).

I think that doing something like on the third drawing above would be okay if there are also a lot of moments where her actual strabismus is shown. In general, I think that the idea of a character with a facial difference wearing a mask just to paint it on the mask is kinda silly, and I feel like it would fit her character. But for something like that to work, she would need to have the mask off often. If you choose to do that, I suggest your first time showing her to the viewer is with her mask off, both for the usual reasons I mentioned before but also because strabismus is often used as a gag in art. For me, seeing a character wear that kind of mask with no context would be kind of eye-rolling - but seeing a character with a crossed eye put on a mask with the same exact kind of eye, go and join their friends at doing rebel things? That's actually something new!

I enjoy that your character seems to be on the rather joyful and happy side, I like that :-) (smile emoji)

I hope this helps!

Here are some more designs from my new game:

[ID: Six portrait drawings of niqabis each shown at an 3/4 angle from the chest up. First. A woman with light skin, blue eyes, and acne wears a blue headscarf, a Saudi niqab in a blue-purple gradient with one large horizontal blue stripe, and a decorative blue rose. Second. A woman with medium dark skin and brown eyes wears a pink headscarf and a half niqab in a pink-peach gradient. Her niqab and hijab are decorated with pearls. She wears an additional orange veil, and a pink flower crown. She has freckles. Third. A woman with medium light skin wears a traditional all-black multi layered niqab, with some layers flipped over her back, and one transparent layer covering her brown eyes. Fourth. A woman wears a blue burqa. Fifth. A woman with dark skin, black eyes, and vitiligo, wears a green niqab with nose piece and flower detailing at the bottom. She wears a flowy loose mint green veil on top. Sixth. A woman with light skin and turquoise eyes wears a red niqab with black dots and black decorative mesh at the bottom. She wears a red outer veil. The watermark in each image reads Ameera Meiker. /end ID]

I'm really happy with how this turned out, especially how you can make so many different designs and characters! There's lots of options for eyes, skin differences, and makeup. Not to mention all the different niqabs, colors, and outer veils you can choose from.

If you're a niqabi and there is an item missing to truly create yourself, send me a message and I'll see if I can update the game for you. It's time you get to see yourself represented in games, too! ^^

here's that other AU I've put way more into - the "Uncle Cally AU", where Cal was instead taken in by one Aquato Family Circus! This one is admittedly the brainchild of @friendlyfrankenstein, I just happened to take the ball and run... and run... and run.......

don't think this doodle dump is the start and end, though! There's a lot more coming up in the queue soon...

(alt text/image IDs under the cut!)

[Image 1 ID: A character design sheet for "Caligosto Aquato", an alternate version of Loboto who joined the Loboto Family Circus. He is wearing goggles similar to Raz's and has a full head of hair, with shaggy bangs and a light green kerchief patterned with yellow flowers. He has on a high-collared shawl cape with several safety pins and patches, over a navy-blue and white-striped Aquato family unitard and brown, puffy short-shorts with a deep red cummerbund. There are two patches on the torso of his unitard. His right arm has an elbow-length brown sleeve on his forearm with several patches and safety pins, while the left hand just has a red band around his wrist. He is wearing navy blue fingerless gloves on both hands, as well as knee-high, laced navy blue boots. There is a small knee guard on his left knee, while his left thing has a scrap of fabric tied around it, the same color and pattern as his kerchief. A detail shot shows him pushing up his goggles, revealing his green-and-red heterochromia and dark circles around his eyes. Off to the side is a design for his "Doctor Loboto" guise, wearing a simple surgical mask that covers his face, his canon-compliant shower cap, an oversized powder-blue button up, a apron over that with complex buckles in the back similar to canon, greenish surgical gloves, and the same blue boots as his "circus" design.]

[Image 2 ID: A rough sketch design for Cally's caravan. It is shaped like a carriage, with a swooped roof with a decorated lantern hanging off of it. There is a big window in the back, posters taped to the sides, and a hatch on the roof on the other side through which Cally is peeking out. There is an accordion-shaped, slightly curving tower emerging from the curved part of the roof, with a pipe weaving through and emitting a small cloud of smoke where it ends. The top of the "tower" has another, smaller window, in which Raz can be seen reading a comic and peeking outside. There is another, smaller lantern dangling from the tower, as well as what looks like a radio antennae at the very top.]

[Image 3 ID: A traditional ink doodle-page with various sketches of Loboto and other Psychonauts characters. At the center is a drawing of Uncle Cally and Augustus standing side by side. Cally is wearing large earrings and a shawl with a hood, a puffy-sleeved blouse, fabric tied around his waist like a skirt, and his usual striped tights and heeled boots. Augustus has a shawl wrapped around his neck and shoulders like a scarf, is wearing a baggy shirt with large, dangling sleeves, has a sash tied around his waist like a belt, and has his usual shorts, striped tights and boots.]

[Image 4-5 IDs: Various rough gestural sketches of Cally doing stretches, contortions and circus tricks. The first image is done digitally, while the second is traditional pen on a lavender post-it note. In one of the digital poses, a sketchy Raz can be seen balancing on top of one of Cally's feet.]

[Image 6 ID: A single-panel comic of a younger Cally and Augustus stretching. Cally is leaning against a wall with one hand, grabbing the ankle of his bent leg with the other, grinning and saying, "So is 'mooning over letters from Donatella' going in the act or something". Augustus, next to him in a deep lunge, holding a paper in one hand, blushing and glaring, retorts "Don't get on my case just because *you* don't like girls." Cally replies in turn, "You're just jealous the new strongman asked me out first".]

[Image 7 ID: A sketchy five-panel comic of Cally and the Aquato kids. In the first panel, Cally is squatting to secure a pulley on the ground, looking over at a young Raz in his circus outfit, who is staring at him. In the second, Mirtala runs by as he picks up his tools, tripping on a rock, causing a frantic Cally to catch her with a telekinetic hand; while he does, Raz is tugging on his arm, trying to get his attention. In the next panel he is bent over to pick up Mirtala, providing an opening for Frazie to spring up onto his shoulders, while Raz hangs around his legs yelling. In the next panel, Frazie is hanging off his back, sticking her tongue out at Raz, who climbs up Cally's leg pointing and shouting at Frazie, all while Mirtala fidgets in Cally's hold and Dion, shouting and holding a crying baby Queepie at arm's length, appears to the side. Cally, looking overwhelmed, screams "AUGUSTUS". The final panel shows Cally handing Mirtala over to an exhausted-looking Donatella, shouting "STOP HAVING KIDS". Augustus, standing next to Donna holding a sleeping Queepie in his arms, grins cheekily and retorts "But they're just so much fun to make".]

[Image 8 ID: A single-panel comic of Donatella and Cally. Cally is grinning, holding a terrified child upside-down by the ankles, using telekinesis to hold his arms and head in place, money falling to the ground out of his pockets. Donatella is in front of the kid, pointing and shouting, "YOU TRY TO SNEAK IN FREE, LITTLE PUNK?? THINK IT'S FUNNY DESTROYING SMALL FAMILY CIRCUS?! THAT YOU WILL ESCAPE CONSEQUENCES??" Augustus, in the background, looks on in horror.]

[Image 9 ID: Cally in the far foreground, motion-blurred and looking utterly terrified, running from Donatella in the background, who has skidded into frame in a wide stance, eyes glowing red.]

[Image 10-12 IDs: A three-panel comic of Cally, Oleander, and the Aquatos. Cally and Oleander are sitting side-by-side on a log, working on a rope-and-pulley system. Mirtala and Frazie walk in from the right side of the screen, Mirtala looking delighted and shouting, "It's Uncle Oly!! Uncle Oly's visiting!!" Oleander looks mildly surprised, while Cally looks extremely flustered. In the next panel, he catches Mirtala by the head with one hand, saying, "Woah woah *woah*-- Tala. Who told you to call him that??" Frazie, walking past behind him with a smug grin, responds, "Mom said we might as well get used to saying it sooner rather than later." In the last panel, a blushing and furious Cally says "Did she now," as he whirls around to look at Donatella, who looks incredibly smug as she stands with Queepie dangling from her hands by his arms. Off to the side, Oleander looks down in flustered confusion as Mirtala holds her arms up and shouts "UNCLE OLY UNCLE OLY WATCH MY NEW TRICK".]

[Image 13 ID: A drawing of Raz, Augustus, and Cally in the postgame of Psychonauts 2, at the cliff by the falls. Augustus is standing, staring out at the falls, with a hand on the back of Raz at his left, staring slightly up at him, and Cally to his right, sitting with his legs crossed, one arm propping him up, and the other up around his brother's back.]

Shadow Tim (Reverse Robins)

So, a few very important things to keep in mind for Tim's iteration of the Shadow design:

Tim is taking it up as a tribute to Steph after her death.

Tim does not have a Moonbeam as his partner. (He was supposed to be the next Moonbeam, apprenticed under Cass, until shit went down.)

Tim lacks the fully context & perspective on Being Shadow that Steph & Damian had about it (but he's trying his best.)

To start with, Tim brings Shadow back to Damian's greyscale & gold color scheme, but with one critical difference: where Damian had pops of red, Tim uses very light touches of purple.

(Tim also keeps Steph's bat symbol, so here's a quickly thrown together contrast. Tim has no Moonbeam, so he gets no light/metallic accent on his bat symbol.)

The second major tribute is that Tim adds a cloak, specifically taken from Steph's original Spoiler design. Tim's version is black with a purple lining, and gold trim around the edge of the hood, calling back to both Steph's dual-tone hood & her hair. The cloak itself is ankle-length; not practical, but evocative & stylish.

(So this style cape, and massive thanks to the Stephanie Brown Costume History page, y'all are lifesavers.)

Tim relies on the cloak to disguise his form, with the costume itself being much closer-fitted than previous iterations. The top is a black bulletproof vest with short sleeves added not dissimilar to his traditional Robin costume, but the weird stripes are actually places for him to tuck gadgets he expects to grab in a hurry.

(Basically this, but all one piece, with the Robin sleeves, and obviously lighter on detail to keep from being visually cluttered. No one wants to draw or look at all those lines & straps, or that little wheel-velcro-thing.)

Tim wears a dull grey chainmail body suit between his black undersuit & outer costume. It shows mainly on his arms, between the top sleeves & his gloves, but if his pants tore it'd be visible there too. The gloves themselves are his spiky gauntlets from more modern costumes, in black but with a gold hem at the very top to reflect the band on his hood (paying tribute to Steph's thick hems & blonde hair, while also bringing back Damian's color scheme.)

(These bad boys.)

Tim sticks with the neck gaiter Steph switched to, but does not keep the greasepaint. Instead, Tim has a headset styled after ski-goggles. He was originally designing it for becoming Moonbeam, hoping an AI scan of his opponents' moves would help him predict what they were going to do (allowing him to better mimic Duke & Cass's skillsets.) It's still a pretty rough prototype by the time Steph dies, but Tim's put a hell of a lot of work into it, he's not not going to field-test the thing, now is he?

(You meet the new Shadow, and this stares back at you from under the hood [lightly edited for appropriate drama])

Below the utility belt (grey with gold snaps/buckles,) Tim wears black heavy-duty cargo pants tucked into knee-high armored boots. The extra pockets even further emphasize that Tim is a character with a diverse set of skills and especially gadgets, and the slight puff caused by tucking not-entirely-fitted pants in at the knee calls back to Damian's "Infinite Frontier" outfit that inspired my original Shadow design.

(Not quite that puffy, but that would probably be down to the artist.)

For the boots, I do really like the ones Tim's been recently wearing in comics... mostly, at least. The ones on-panel have a little tabi toe-stripe most of the time, which either appears to be decorative (just a notch in front of the toe, which I don't like the look of) or does weird things to the depth (making his feet look flat.) Also, as someone who cannot even wear flip-flops without getting bloody blisters, it just looks uncomfortable to me. I really like the version Tim wore on that cover with Damian—the shape looks more comfortable, it looks like it has better grip & heavier armor, and looks like a shoe it'd really suck to get kicked by—but the stripes are nearly invisible, and the weird spike of armor above the knee is a bit much.

Combine the foot from the cover-boots with the shape & highlights from the panel-boots. Make the stripes & knee-pad border gold, and add a gold trim along the top edge of the green sole; the sole itself should be dark grey.

And that's Shadow Tim!

A little higher-tech to foreshadow his ascendance to Oracle, while also reflecting Tim's canonical love of weird gadgets through the ages.

Pays heavy tribute to Steph, but not in any way that'd be super-obvious if you weren't in-the-know, without directly ripping off her designs or looking so much like her that the other Bats could mistake Tim for Steph out of the corner of their eyes.

Pays light tribute to Damian, but aside from being a Shadow costume, Duke & Cass have about as much influence on the changes Tim makes (see: chainmail, glove style, face covering) as Damian does.

Misses a few important details of Shadow's design (see: no longer visible eyes, no more grease paint, dramatically changed silhouette) showing Tim wasn't prepared to step into this role but is doing his best anyway.

Extra armor & pockets shows that Tim's got even more protection than previous Shadows, hinting through design alone about the impact Steph's death had on the family.

Sticks to Tim's fashion tastes without going overboard.

Adds a cape for him to go swish.

I'm pretty happy with it!

Me every time you mention your characters:

This applies to worldbuilding too

Im late in answering this but THANK YOU! I was always kind of scared of sharing my original oc's since I keep thinking no one would be interested in them.

But I'd like to take some time to actually explain one set of them instead of just throwing vague hints at them. I did draw some of them on this blog but if people like them enough I'll start actually drawing them.

So uh, here take this!:

This world has a bit of a animals (not furries) x criminal underground x martial arts idea. In this world, hybrid animals of all types roam the world. But our characters live in a city called "Zoia", a lawless city full of hybrids that live tough lifes of crime and chaos. In this city, 4 bosses called the "Wilders" rule parts of the city through thier meticulous scheming and martial art prowess.

Monkey:

An aspiring young con-man of 30 years old. He's charismatic, but also kind of a loser that doesn't know when to seperate his outrageous goals from reality, making it his job of doing petty thefts and reselling what he "borrowed" at the kiosks. His arrogance often leads him to get his ass kicked, and he gets in trouble with smaller gangs because of his thefts on their turfs. Still, he likes to think he has a shot at making it big in this city. His current goal? Becoming the next big Wilder.

Snake:

Local 27 year old organ trafficker hiding as a dentist. She works for a small gang because her shitty brother got both of them in debt. She's a nervous and shy girl who tries to cover up her snake-like appearance to look passive and insignificant just so that nobody can disturb her. But underneath all that lies a tempermental snake, and she's one day away from showing her fangs. Cunning and harsh, Snake will do anything to get a one up in this harsh world, even if it means betrayal. She's catching the attention of Tiger, who was coincidentally looking for a doctor. Currently has beef with Mongoose because he keeps fucking around with her orders.

Bunny:

25 year old guy that became a Wilder by pure fucking rage. Because of his hybrid type, he's been seen as weak and small his whole life. After some people tried to mug him, he snapoed and sent them to the hospital. What followed was the rumour of a bunny hybrid that's been going on a rampage and fighting big shots. So, bunny climbed to the top of the criminal food chain by fighting. Other then that he's a quiet and introverted guy that kind of has a weird way of thinking. But since he's so sure of himself, many started following him. He earned the title of the new Wilder and he's making bank by the night clubs he opened up that's actually a back drop for meetings between the dangerous groups of the city.

Lion:

The current leader of the west side and the most powerful fighter next to Bull. A 34 year old Wilder that was recently given the title after his mom stepped down. Stoic and prideful on the outside, but has a strong sense of tradition and justice. He has a close group of friends that are loyal to a fault, and his pride in his work often attracts the younger generation to join. Don't be mistaken though, his work is built on generations of fear and blood, and he's not willing to give it all up. Currently wants to help Mongoose find his sister, as she was a close friend of his mother and a role model.

Shark:

Nonbinary 31 year old that's both smart and eccentric. Neither a Wilder nor weaker then one, they currently run a small organ trafficking business and loan company, but their main job is arms dealing. They travel across the world making deals with all kinds of people, but stop by Zoiac to say hello to her dearly beloved "workers". Charismatic and a bit of a flirt, they'll make you dance in the palm of their hand without you ever knowing it. Currently, they like to bother Snake by pushing her buttons. They really seem to enjoy testing her, but it looks like they have other plans for her?

Mongoose:

A 19 year old outsider looking for his missing sister. He's naive about the ways of the city and often gets himself in trouble by sticking his nose into businesses he shouldn't. But he's pretty smart and knows how to persuade people into helping him. He's very energetic, but also so serious that if you tease him he'll actually get mad at you. Currently, he lives with Monkey as his roommate. They get along suprisingly well, since they both love old kung fu movies. He also believes that Snake has something to do with his sister's dissappearance and they're this 👌close to getting into an all out brawl with each other that'll probably end in bloodshed.

Tiger:

A 35 year old Wilder woman that's hard working and cunning. She's the first of her family that managed to rise their debt induced name into fame and luxury. She's the wealthiest Wilder of the city, and has her claws into multiple famous casinos and clubs. Cold and brutal, she's stubborn into getting whatever she wants in this city, and her plan to have full control of this city is only stopped by some pest she wants to swat away. But she's all to patient to wait for them to wander into her gaze so she could dig her teeth into them. Snake and Mongoose has caught her attention as of recent, and she's debating on whether she wants these two animals to work as bodyguard and an informant for her by 'persuading' them into a deal that's very beneficial for both of them.

Wolf:

8 year old orphaned little girl that's in the middle of a very dangerous world. She has a mutation on her eyes that's causing her to see the future. Because of this, she's sought out by the Wilders and she's constantly running away from them, only to find herself deeper into the city. She's quiet and very meticulous with her plans, untrusting of those who reach their hand out to her. She also may have some form of autism (one od her special interests is dragons). She currently lives with Bull, and she doesn't know whether he pretends to act as her dad for the sake of it or he wants to use her for her foresight. Either way, she doesn't trust him and she's planning on getting out of his grip.

Bull:

40 year old Wilder that's been playing this city's game since he was 20 years old. A family guy that likes people who are "interesting", and likes to tip things slightly on edge to relieve him of his boredom (this bastard). He's friendly and has that leadership vibe that just makes you want to have one drink with him at least. He just went through a divorce and is currently wanting to get along with his 19 year old daughter that seems to have no interest in inheriting the family and instead wants to pursue her love for art. Currently looking after Wolf who he picked up after, uh, "fired" the last Wilder. He slowly kind of sees her as his adoptive daughter (if only she doesn't run away every 5 damn seconds. He swears he doesn't care about her ability to see the future and wants to spoil her, but she's determined to tear each gift up and throw it back into his face.)

The ghost and molly mcgee headcanons

The macgee's edition

MOLLY MCGEE

■ She had depression before getting to Brighton and might still have it now. (I made a full post about it already if someone is curious)

■ She loves peanuts but is slightly allergic to them.

■ She will eventually go through a dye hair phase. Probably tried a lot of different colors and mixes.

■ When she is an adult, she would get a tattoo in honor of her Thai culture. Either on her shoulder or back. (I will draw it when I get a chance)

SCRATCH MCGEE

■ He knows how to bride hair in many different ways. But doesn't know why. (He learned by braiding his friend when he was alive)

■ He becomes a figure scattered fan and watch competition with Pete and Sonia.

■ Tried learning how to cook so he can take over Sharon and Pete every once in a while. He ends up loving cooking but won't do it often cause of laziness.

■ He had insomnia when alive, so now that he is dead, he sleeps as much time as he can.

DARRYL MCGEE

■ Being a troublemaker is half cause he loves being awesome, and half cause he feels he will never be has good has molly so he don't want to waste energy trying.

■ He will become an import goods salesman. Half of them of questionable legality.

■ He will get a matching tattoo with molly. Probably something silly, too.

■ He became a pro at Makruk. Got to eventually compete at a national level.

SHARON MCGEE

■ She has some type of disorder that causes her to get hypoglycemia (low blood sugar).

■ She designed the drawings for the eventual tattoos for molly and Darryl when they become adults. (and I will 100% draw them when I get a chance)

■ She felt bad for the cake lie so she and Pete planned a baking date to create a new traditional desert. It eds up being chocolate cheesecake with banana topping.

■ She used to be very close to her dad. He was the one that covered, so she and Pete could elope.

PETE MCGEE

■ He goes on ice-skating trips with Sonia every free time he gets during winter months.

■ Watch reruns of previous years' competition every other week in non-winter months with Sonia since she never saw any after her fail in the global games. and scratch since he became a fan of the sport.

■ Eventuallt becomes a city council member.

■ After he becomes a council member, he manages to open an indoor community skating center. It takes all the family to get him (and Sonia) out of the ice the first week.

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

I will make headcanons for the secondary character next. I'm inspire baby!.

Also does anyone know when the new episodes will be in Disney plus. I don't have cable so I watch my shows there and I want to know how long I have to wait to see them. I want to avoid being a pirate has much has possible.

But if someone can recommend a pirate page it be great.

#the ghost and molly mcgee #tgamm #the macgee's #molly mcgee #scratch #scratch mcgee #darryl mcgee #sharon mcgee #pete mcgee #headcanon #headcanons #future ideas #i will draw all of this #at some point #for some reason this show inspire me to draw #more that to write #a good thing #i love this family

TOP HAT TRIO ARCHIVES: Part 1

Warden: Look at all this lovely art of us! We could fill a museum! Professor: There's so much it seems like we can't keep up... Once-ler: ..... Y'kno what guys? I'm gonna take a break...

((A small fraction of my old old old trio art, most of which has never seen the light of tumblr (under the cut)! None of this is colored. Some of this is pre-blog or just... REALLY early-era Trio art, so some of it is... dated. Also, as indicated by the top, this is part 1. Meaning there will probably be more, LOL...))

((I hope it's okay if I ramble some fun facts in the middle of this!))

We're gonna start off with this silly lil doodle of the lads! This was drawn during the era where I did my silly crossover drawings, before I mustered the courage to turn them into an askblog.

Based on the date, I must've drawn this next one while I was in the process of actually making the blog... potentially their original "profile" images? Or just a doodle I did to get me hyped...

As you can see, all the drawings so far are pencil and ink... that's because (if I remember correctly) this is when I was VERY new to computer tablets! I felt more confident in my traditional art so I would slap quick colors onto the back of a bunch of ink-drawn replies and make minor adjustments with the tablet. I remember being hesitant to switch to a fully digital style since I felt the sketchiness was almost part of the style of trio? But I've come to accept change is good! Everything post-Greed M!A is all (or mostly) digitally lined (with the occasional trad sketch), but if you look closely at the trio in this (and many other) early-day responses, you can definitely see the pencil marks!

Unposted Thneedville High Trio!!! I was SO obsessed with the Once-ler Askblog AU's back in the Once-ler Fandom's hayday... they were a lot of fun to observe on the side and I wanted to be part of that in my small way, but unfortunately, I was a coward so I never did LOL... I'm thinking this was drawn in February or March 2013...

And, something I drew on the same page, Truffula Flu Trio!!!! I think I briefly thought about making it (and thneedville high) a sideblog but I felt like I couldn't commit for multiple reasons: (1) AU hype was dying down a little, (2) It was a bit too serious a concept for Trio; I wanted to keep them lighthearted and silly (covers bad end with a hand). And (3) I was still doubting whether or not my blog counted as a Once-ler blog (being only 1/3 once-ler) and whether I was valid to participate in events. Eventually I got over that fear when I joined Camp Weehawken and participated in the fandom revival of 2015, but the fear was definitely there at the very beginning and I hesitated to jump in on some stuff because of it!!

These were some of my earliest (unanswered) asks! I think for a while I thought I accidentally deleted the Pinkie Pie one, but it mysteriously came back one day?? I don't plan to finish these but might as well get some closure since I already drew them. I had to look up which troll typing was the one being used here so I might be wrong, I know nothing about homestuck except chapter 1 and 2 and whatever I osmosis from my mutuals LOL...

Peacock was drawn before I knew anything about Skullgirls...... within the past few years I recently watched her gameplay/storyline! She's defs a fun character. Trio are probs neutral about her. I'm not confident enough to do anything major with her, but I would love to cameo her more!

I got a few asks / M!A's about genderbent versions of the trio back in early 2013 and these were my doodles for that. The designs were based off of different designs floating around tumblr at the time that I liked. I'm not interested in doing this M!A anymore, but the dresses are cute!

Some glasses shenanigans I never posted for some reason?? (For reference: (1) (2) (3) (4).) It's silly stuff like this that make me realize Trio!Professor is a little bit like "Cheerful Mystery" Professor but like... waaaaay more tame HAHA (I never read the manga back then because I was upset they made Layton OOC, but from what I've seen he's... a lot more chaotic there). Which, ykno, good chance explains why Trio!Professor stays sane around Once-ler and Warden and their wacky selves.

Some wardlers and layclaires!! Also a few super old things I doodled out for Lovestruck M!A part 2 (including warden being a perv and oncie being flustered and confused, LMAO) but... idk if I have the energy to commit to it at the moment... partially bc thinking about getting an influx of shippy-type asks gets me overwhelmed and idk if I can commit to another magic anon all my magic anons manage to kill the blog somehow 😭, but ykno... saving the anons in my inbox in case I change my mind... Love these guys dearly regardless,,, <3

Some doodles of Layton and his rivals!! I think someone sent a small "Descole takes over the blog" M!A (hence the itty bitty chibi head LMAOO) but (again) I don't have the energy to commit to anything but vanilla THT right now. I still thought the idea was fun enough to draw out and anticipate in advance! If I change my mind y'all will know about it...

My first drawing of Wilson from Don't Starve!! I didn't even play Don't Starve at the time, but I wanted to do research if I was going to properly execute the magic anon and I fell in love with him immediately. Unfortunately he (and his game) became my new brainrot and I still feel really bad about that LAUGHS, but hey! Was worth it! Maybe someday I'll redo trio mods for DST...

I may have him cameo again, but potentially after his character update in Don't Starve Together eventually drops, of course, :3 chants give us lore lore loRE LORE-

Aaaaaand that's all I'm gonna show for now... until next time everyone!

PART 1 (you are here!) || PART 2 (TBA) || PART 3 (TBA) || …

#((I will try to post one of these at the end of next month too))#((gives me time to compile them and get them sorted out...))#((not all of them are gonna be in chronological order tho... I'm doing the greedler archive next because I feel like it))#tophattrio #top hat trio #modart #ooc #professor layton #warden #onceler #top hat foes #top hat friends #top hat assistants #other #archives

‌𝗜𝗡𝗧𝗥𝗢𝗗𝗨𝗖𝗧𝗜𝗢𝗡 ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌‌ ‌ ‌ ‌‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌

★°̥࿐✩°̥࿐★࿐✩°̥

🩸 I'm Nini Moroi ! 🩸 VTuber, VSinger & Cosplayer !

Also ASMRtist creating Roleplay and Ambience ⬆️

🧄 I'm the Garlic Loving Vampire Princess 🧄

🍬 My Community is my Candy - my "Sweetmeats" 🍬

With this blog I would love to make friendships or sweet connections geeking out about our interests ! And hey, maybe we end up creating some projects together ! Most likely song related !

Also I'm here to share my love for garlic and vampires and could make a bunch of side blogs around these topics ! :

🧄 Vocaloid, Utaite, Youtaite Jpop & rock

🧄 ASMR, Ambience, 3Dio Stuff

🧄 Cosplay, Crafting, Anime & Voice Acting

Tumblr looks fun when it comes to writing ! Story + Song writing is what I love too ! So once I figured that side of tumblr out we can expect it on Ninis main blog aswell !

Games that I focus on are Platform, Story Based, RPG Maker & Monster Collector ! But I also fell for Rune Factory 5 and similar games that I play in private ♡ My Favourite Game is Crash Bandicoot - WAH

Tags : moroinini (all) | vibenini (blog themes) | talknini (vtuber + other) | re:nini (own reblogs)

Now below you can find my Character Sheet & Socials ❣️

ʚ💜ɞ Twitch ʚ❤️ɞ YouTube ʚ💛ɞ Instagram ʚ💙ɞ Twitter ʚ🖤ɞ TikTok ʚ💗ɞ Carrd + Credits

CLICK For Character Sheet ⬇️

Nini has some distinct features that I love very much ! Character design is so fun ! 🧄 That's why I create more outfits for Song Cover ! Please feel free to use this sheet for Nini art, IF interested whatsoever haha ! Credit

She got Head-wings that are tied behind with a ribbon ! 🦇 The open version is visible in the 3D Nini gif ⬆️ This helps avoiding drawing them, if necessary ! They grow from the back head piercing through the hair, not the sides, yes ! ^^ That works, because they're very slim and grow bigger at the end !

The Ankle-Wings are also a body part and grow above the shoes through holes of her stockings ! The shoes form a cute vamp face !

Another distinct feature is her Grey Skin, Garlic Accessoire AND Bra Window with the bra / top being a part of the dress haha Underneath the white sleeves the dress continues on with black tight sleeves & yellow ends !

Overall I really like the combination of different textures, I was going for something "sleek" that suits a vampire ! So the huge sleeves and the dress were roughly reminding me of romanian traditions aswell. Since that fit very well I thought haha !

In the future I hope to make a traditional romanian outfit, to share the love & beautiful clothes of my culture 💜Hoping to represent it well ! In fact, the design itself is already planned haha

Although I didn't plan a full on description, I hope you enjoyed ! ♡

2022 in review

in an effort to blog about art on my art blog more i will be writing a post covering my work in 2022 and maybe some aspirations going forward into 2023

2022 was the year of learning to paint! at the beginning i was really frustrated, a lot of my pieces were very hit or miss and i couldnt tell why some sucked and some fuckd. i nibbled at some online courses for fundamentals, James Gurney’s Color & Light book and Marco Bucci’s painting videos, and was looking for a mentor at one point but i think i stopped cuz i broke my thumb briefly lol

a piece from december 2021 that is just a bit random and i think representative of my stabbing in the dark

studying...

in June i split a schoolism sub with emma and it was an amazing decision. i think if you have limited time to practice drawing or dont know where to go the best thing is to take a course, and ive taken cheap or free courses online but the tutors on schoolism are top of the industry and the quality of their teaching is stellar imo. literally felt my brain explode with knowledge they are the best of the best. i finished the painting workout course with wouter tulp and ive dipped in and out of numerous others since then. its cool bcus u can study at your own pace.

July was artfight, i did talk about it here so not gonna repeat myself heh

then i was really busy with my MA, its been so fun and so exhausting. a year is so short and i want to try all the printing techniques and ceramics and everything cry. but hey now i know indesign and can make my own zines and stuff which is amazing. i also tabled at my first market :) i did really like it and would love to do more, dont want to put pressure on myself to do that this year but at least wanna visit them and scope out the audiences and stuff.

school really is making me appreciate traditional art again, tbh it is nothing like digital. you just cant get that chaos or physical resistance from your materials in digital, everything is very deliberate and constructed and almost predictable. ive started to incorporate more traditional work into my pieces where i can, especially photobashing. i can use photos i offhandedly took years ago and it feels really nice to get to repurpose them.

a spread from my school project, a book about one of my passions (i chose the story of how i got into elden ring!!!) i made it from paper cutting, photobashing, and digital. (im going to sell pdf and physical copies in the new year)

so circling back to the start of the year, i think you can see marked progress in my illustrations that ive posted here. i think i learned a lot about techniques within a painting but i want to learn more about pictorial composition bcus my default tends to be 3:4, portrait, charas centre, and i want to break that habit and tell more effective stories :)

over the past 2 years ive been incorporating more realism into the characters i draw and trying to be really deliberate with what features, proportions etc they have.

a 2021 isa and a 2022 isa

i think i want to maintain this level of detail because its descriptive enough for my needs but i want to push it to be more dynamic and stylised. i really admire the way disney animators like jin kim do it. its because im not confident enough with structure and anatomy to really play with it.

on the other hand with life drawing i really want to do more realism and capture exactly whats in front of me because i think i rely on style as a crutch too much hahaha.

from december. proud of these!!!

thats whats on my mind really. again really dont want to put any undue pressure on myself and i am going to be really busy until october at least. i am seriously proud of my progress in 2022. and im really looking forward to playing bloodborne x

Commission for @overzholous; a full reference sheet + poses of their character Lyz!

This took so long to finish but I'm very happy with the results. Lyz is such a goober I am squeezing them in my hand like a stress ball

Commission Info Here!

[ID: Two images of a character reference sheet; the first having one full body and 3 expressions, the second having 4 full body poses.

First Image: drawings of a hunter character surrounded by text that reads: “ELYZA (“LYZ”). they/them/theirs. Hunter. 6’0”ft (182 cm). Cavalier Hat + Fishing lure. Dark eyebags. (Somewhat) tattered clothes. No thoughts Head empty. Weapons- hook sword (transforms into fishing rod) + trench knife”. The first drawing depicts Lyz, standing in a neutral A-pose with a disgruntled look. Behind them is another drawing in the same pose, but facing backwards to show details on their back. They have pale skin with two scars on their right cheek, shoulder-length green hair, dark grey clothes with white and silver accents - including a tunic, long duster, white gloves, white ascot, and cavalier hat with a fishing lure attached. They are holding their weapon, a hook sword, in their left hand. To their right are three bust drawings of them with different facial expressions. The first expression is blank, their eyes looking two different directions. The second is them smiling sweetly and looking up. The third is them looking intensely at the camera. Below the three expressions are drawings of Lyz’s weapons: a hook sword and trench knife. The sword is drawn twice, first resembling a traditional hook sword, and second extended to resemble a fishing rod. Underneath those are drawings of Lyz’s assorted inventory. First, a blue tackle box with 4 fishing lures in them. Second, a pair of antique headphones. Third, a small green first aid pouch. Fourth, a gold cigarette case with dark blunts inside. Fifth, a gold lighter. Sixth, a small antique transistor radio. Below these drawings are small circles filled in with Lyz’s color palette.

Second Image: four full-body drawings of Lyz behind a faded blue background. The first pose; they are sitting on a tree stump, elbows resting on their knees, their fishing rod out cast, with a bored look on their face. Their sleeves are rolled up, showing scars on their forearm. The second pose; they are sitting down on the floor, leaning back and crossing their legs. They have a smile on their face. They are not wearing a top, showing off their chest with a few large scars across their sternum, shoulder, forearm, and hand. The third pose; they are suspended in a jump, facing the camera with an intense expression, and holding their weapons out as if to attack. The fourth pose; they are completely naked with a smug look on their face. More of their scars across their body are visible, including more on their forearms and one on their midsection. Their privates are covered with a black box with a white smiley. End ID.]

[image: Two traditional drawings of characters from A Court of Fey and Flowers.

Image One: Delloso de la Rue, an elf with aquatic features (large eyes, finned ears scaled nose and cheeks, along with webbed fingers) wearing a flower themed dress with closed bud sleeves and a leaf ascot. Next to them is Wuvvy, a satyr with a short curly Afro, a goatee and horns. She has fuzzy arms and hoof- like hands with three fingers. Wuvvy is wearing a top with flowers on the collar and has many freckles that lead to large goat ears.

Image Two: A close up of Wuvvy looking up and smiling, her hoof hand holding the back of her neck. Her hair is in a big round bun with curly strands covering one eye. End image descriptions.]

I accidentally made Wuvvy look a little like Oscar, but I think she looks wonderful

Drawing them. My emotional support fae

#delloso de la rue #wuvvy #acofaf #a court of fey and flowers #dri draws #i still draw :)

Nilou Fan Art!

Disclaimer: Get ready for some more reading than you usually have to do on this blog, because I’ve been given a golden opportunity to talk about my Persian culture and Zoroastrian upbringing!

My art:

This drawing is of Nilou dancing, with a fireworks and an ocean in the background.

I decided not to change anything about her outfit except her veil, which I made sheer and added some glitter. All of the veils I have worn for traditional dance have had a sheer texture and shining embroidery and/or some beadwork, so I tried to incorporate this as best I could.

Nilou as Zoroastrian Representation: My take on it.

Since I was raised in the Zoroastrian belief system for a good amount of my formative years, I think I’m qualified to talk about what Hoyoverse got right and wrong.

Positives about Nilou’s design and characterization:

If the goal of Hoyoverse was to represent steadfast adherence to the Asha, the threefold path of “Good Thoughts, Good Words, Good Deeds”, then Nilou is excellent representation. Overall, we are shown that Nilou is a good-natured person, and most other characters and NPCs in the game seem to share that opinion of her.

There aren’t too many rules in modern Zoroastrianism for how a person should dress, except a blanket requirement that both men and women should cover their head for religious activity such as praying or visiting some temples; a veil like Nilou’s is acceptable for such, as would be a cap that covers the top of the head only. Personally, I used to wear a sheer veil in green for dance, and a white cap to visit the fire temples, and leave my hair uncovered for all other occasions.

The horns on Nilou’s headpiece date back to the Sassanid era, which was a really cool detail to include.

It doesn’t look like Nilou is wearing a Sedreh (a white blouse made of a singular piece of cotton) or a Koshti (a white belt made of wool), which typically are given to a youth at the ceremony of Sedreh-pushi. This could either be due to Nilou not having undergone this ritual yet, or because she wears her theatre clothing more often. However, she is wearing a mostly-white blouse, which indicates at least intent to dress for Zoroastrian festivals or rituals; I used to do the same thing when I was younger, it’s fine.

I love how determined Nilou is to celebrate Sabzeruz, a festival based on the Zoroastrian Norooz (Nowruz, noruz). The only criticism I have with how this celebration was handled in game was that no one gave us free mora or primogems as a Norooz gift, the inaccuracy, smh (/j)!

This is a really small detail, but it looks like Nilou has blue-green eyes in her character art, which were a prevalent feature in the tribal group my grandfather is from. It’s a subtle detail, but it is still something I noticed right away lol. Additionally, Nilou’s signature red hair may be a nod to the culture of dying one’s hair with henna, since it was and still is believed to be beneficial for one’s skin and hair.

My complaints about Nilou’s design and characterization:

Again, how dare they organize a Sabzeruz festival and not give us mora and primogems at the venue smh /j

So…much… detail…it took me all week to finish drawing this! /lh

Seriously though, nothing really. She’s not doing anything impermissible by the standards of what she is supposed to represent.

Overall conclusions: I think Nilou is good representation considering that there is virtually none other for Zoroastrian Persians, especially in a game as big as Genshin Impact.

god help us all it's time for me to start posting psychonauts art!!! to start here's all the thumbnail/teaser art I did while streaming Both Freaking Games. shouts out again to all my friends who joined me for these playthroughs too!!!

(alt text/image IDs under cut!)

[Image 1 ID: A drawing of Puzz in Psychonauts style, wearing pink-and-blue Raz-style goggles, a helmet, gloves, a pink sweater and purple overalls. She is lifting one lens of her goggles to look over at figments of Psychonauts characters and her friends. In the background is a version of the Psychonauts 1 cover art recolored in pink-and-blue.]

[Image 2 ID: A drawing of an anxious-looking Puzz in Psychonauts style, dangling from a pink levitation balloon.]

[Image 3 ID: A black-and-white sketch of Puzz in Psychonauts style, skateboarding on a giant PSI-portal door, her eyes glowing pink under the goggles. She has a cross-body bag on her back filled with Psychonauts 2 quest items, including several cards, a bowling ball, and a brain.]

[Image 4 ID: A Psychonauts-style drawing of, from left to right, Adrian Malewife, Jay, Snail, Bugs, Frankie, and Jake looking at a framed image from the "Raz runs away" memory vault. Most of them are either contemplating or cheerfully discussing the art, while Jake looks over his shoulder at Puzz, flinging away out-of-control on top of a levitation ball in the background.]

[Image 5 ID: A Psychonauts-style drawing of Bugs, Frankie, Jake, Adrian Malewife, Jay, Snail, and Puzz in the Thorney Towers courtyard. Bugs, Frankie and Jake are swooning over Edgar, who is showing them a painting of a bull; Jay is helping Gloria with some flowerpots while she smiles down at Snail in her hands; Adrian cheekily flosses at an irritated Crispin; and Puzz stands on top of a levitation ball on her tiptoes trying (and failing) to be as tall as a confused-looking Fred.]

[Image 6 ID: A Psychonauts-style drawing of (from left to right) Frankie, Jake, Bugs, Snail, Puzz, Jay, and Adrian Malewife sneaking into Loboto's lab. Everyone but Puzz and Snail is hiding in the doorway, looking anxious; Puzz is standing in a panicked crouch just inside the doorway, with Mr. Pokeylope held over her head and Snail sitting on Mr. Pokeylope's shell. Loboto, in the far foreground, is smiling obliviously.]

[Image 7 ID: A traditional pen drawing of Psychonauts-style Puzz typing away at a computer in a cubicle. There are post-it notes and a calendar with Milla Vodello on it pinned up to the wall of the cubicle. In the background behind her, Loboto walks by carrying his prize box, while Raz in a little suit runs after him.]

[Image 8 ID: A Psychonauts-style drawing of Jay, gesturing Pepe Silvia-style to a board covered in papers and red string, with "MALIGULAAAAA" scrawled over the papers. Snail is sitting on Jay's arm. Jake (as Hallow), Harold the rat, Puzz, Bibi, and Adrian Malewife are all sitting down listening to Jay talk, turning their heads to look at Frankie and Bugs as they burst in the doorway in delight, Frankie holding up a flyer for the Aquato family circus.]

[Image 9 ID: A drawing of Raz sitting cross-legged on the ground, sticking out his tongue in concentration as he dumps out his bag. Several quest items are falling out, including a bunch of PSI-cards and PSI-cores, a brain, a jar of bees, week-old sushi, a psitanium knife, a souvenir hatchet, and Oleander's nameplate.]

[Image 10 ID: A Psychonauts-style drawing of Puzz sitting in the styling chair in Ford's barbershop, reading a magazine, with Bibi sitting on her head. Ford is behind her, holding a pair of scissors and looking contemplative. In the background sitting on or around a couch in the waiting area are Bugs (sitting on the arm of the couch), Frankie (sitting normally looking bored), Snails (on the back of the couch), Jay (sitting upside-down with his legs over the back of the couch, playing a Nintendo Switch), and Jake (lying on the floor next to the couch, staring at Harold the rat).]

[Image 11 ID (MAJOR PSYCHONAUTS 2 SPOILERS IN DESCRIPTION): A colored Psychonauts-style illustration of Puzz and friends (including, left to right, Bibi, Jay, Snails, Jake, Frankie, and Bugs) in the final room of Lucrecia's Lament. All have their backs to the camera. Puzz is standing on the pile of emotional luggage, watching water pour out of the opened locket, while the others stand on the "mainland" behind her.]

#anonymous puzzler art #psychonauts #psychonauts 2 #psychonauts 2 spoilers if you squint #hopefully it's vague enough if you're not already familiar with the game but better to be cautious #i should get back to speedrunning these games. i want to become stronger.
