Golden Fleece

#my art #cotl #cotl lamb #blood #it was really fun to ponder this one #cause in the game sprite the body on the fleece has the scale-like texture but the hem is sharp like the standard fleece #i felt a 2 tiered piece would work nicely to show both of these contrasting elements #the sprite always makes me think of gold scale mail but i wanted to avoid it looking explicitly like armor #since the fleece gives you stacking atk damage in exchange of taking 2x damage when hit #although tbqh gold armor would be fucking pointless anyways. gold is a very soft metal. which may have been the point but w/e #instead i wanted the shapes to be more reminiscent of wool since like. yknow. the golden fleece #and i wanted it to speak of luxury and power but be rather impractical for movement or protection #i just wanted to do an axe for funsies and by wonderful coincidence remembered the godly axe was gold :] #anyways this pose is brought to you by my stupid ass who spun too hard with my upper body when swinging a bat and felt cool for 1 second #before totally unbalancing myself and falling #the instant after this image lambo eats shit. rest in peace

RETURN TO MONKE (PUBERTY EDITION)

MK’s monkey form doesn’t feel right to me so i wanted to break up his transformation into stages. Maybe as he learns to accept that side of himself it becomes part of him, instead of changing between human and monkey randomly (which is probably painful). Love yourself, NOW!!!

@zymstarz im tagging you for FULL MONKE

#ALSO BECAUSE. THAT BOY NEEDS A NOSE #i like the idea of MK constantly flashing between his monkey and human forms as some sort of internal conflict or identity crisis #and he can’t hold his monkey form for very long soo. I’m going to put way too much thought into it and say its some sort of repression #also I made the hair on the sides of his face more attached or growing on the cheeks so it kind of frames it #maybe it’s because his design is so top heavy on his head and that’s why the sideburns feel wrong to me #like it’s fine with Swk and macaque because their hair is more like a tuft. but MKs hair is longer it just feels less balanced shape wise #I also don’t see his tail being very strong right off the bat because it’s. a new limb so the muscle has to be underdeveloped imo #I’m still a firm believer in the face mark XP system though. that is his Minecraft experience bar fight me #ALSO ALSO going back to him flashing between human and monkey. I just like this idea because to complement that idea of identity crisis #like think about it. if he comes to accept this new part of himself he doesn’t have to decide between one or the other I guess? like he #gets used to exploring this part of his identity. also it’s like Pokémon evolution lol #my art #myart #doodles #lego monkie kid #lmk #monkie kid #lmk season 4 spoilers #lmk s4 spoilers #lmk season 4 #lmk s4 #lmk MK #lmk xiaotian #lego monkie kid fanart #lmk fanart

for months i had this obsession with wing shape.

the majority of feathered wings have an underlying musculature almost akin to a thumb. the primary feathers - sometimes called "flight feathers" - are those long feathers that seem to "hang off" of the wing. they're actually connected to the "hand" (literally the manus) of the bird and can be individually rotated. they are responsible for the majority of thrust during the downstroke, and while the number of them depends on speciation; the majority of birds will have between 9 and 11 of these feathers (as opposed to secondary flight feathers; their shorter partners, which vary from 6 to 40).

i started attaching them to the silhouettes of people, drawing angels tumbling out of buildings and running late to work and skipping class to smoke outside of a 7-11. i drew angels eating apples and doing their homework and pushing their hair back from their eyes and holding a pencil. the margins of all of my poems had feathers raining down the side of the page.

i was in the worst depression of my life and had decided i was giving up on the idea of freedom. i would be a happy wife to a mediocre husband and the angels would come and pass their wings over my eyes and let me feel nothing but numbness. i would have a life like an echo. i would never enter my body without knocking first - it would carry all this weight, and i would be sleeping peacefully, my soul somewhere out there, flying with wings.

she laughed and came over and sat next to me, and smelled of lavender. whenever she talked, a strange harmony stole into my heart; something that was only memory and no words. not an echo - an answer.

inside of her sketchbook were hundreds of pictures of birds.

#this is true and also #almost was a completely different post #about recovery #but no #wlw instead bitch #writeblr #game of thrones was popular at the time. #i was mad about the wing shape of the dragons; at their lack of connective tissue. i kept talking about the hands we have #a wing is not a hand #it is an ecologically significant adaptation #also #bat dragons would have been very cool. #yes i repeated the word echo it was intentional it is answering that above paragraph.

A very quick drawing, so it's a little wonky and I think a future design would be less obviously "Flight Rising Dragon", but the initial exercise was still that I wanted to draw one of my FR dragons!

This is MORTIS, it is a mysterious and completely normal 'preacher' with a love for stories. It definitely can't read your memories, and definitely won't tell you the terrible secrets of the other people in town.

Something something Bruce Wayne's cute little stylized batwing eyebrows like

Gordon at home on a ratty sofa, case files spread over the coffee table, going through evidence. Picks up a batarang he wound up taking home, maybe Batman used it to take out an attacker behind Jim, or pin a note to the wall for him, before having to jet off down a time-sensitive lead. So Jim picked it up to take back to him. Not that he doesn't think Batman doesn't have plenty to replace it with, but it's just common courtesy and his momma raised him to take items left behind to their proper owners.

Also, come on man, can you not just??? Leave these around the city for civillians to stumble across? Most are just fannish collectors, sure, but Gordon found like. Three in the duffel of some random street mugger the other day. It's a hazard.

Anyway, he's seen them plenty before but never really had time to examine one. At least, not in a context outside of the evidence room, alone, able to really appreciate it without feeling like he might be lingering juuuuust a little too long and little too appreciative of the gadget than is strictly professional.

...look, even he has to admit they're fucking cool, okay?

So he's sitting in front the TV, picking one up, "testing" (read: dorking out over) the balance, feeling the weight, cutting his finger on noting the sharpness of the edge... and he happens to look up.

It's yet another Wayne interview.

But.

He looks down at the batarang. Up at Wayne. Down at the batarang. Up at W-

He holds the dark steel up to eye level with the screen. In front of Wayne's face. Lines up the edge of the batarang to the man's signature (and trademarked, if you believe the rumors) outer browline. Held at the right angle... at the right perspective... from tip to tip, the curve matches up precisely.

"...Bruce you goddamned idiot."

Is it ok if I reference your art? I want to make a reference sheet for my character and you're so good at drawing my body type. I would NOT directly trace yours, but it might come out as the same pose as whatever I end up referencing. If that's not okay, I understand and it's completely fine! If it makes you uncomfortable, I will not use your art as a reference. (Sorry I'm bad at wording things)

sure! referencing poses or w/e is super okay with me ^^ also tbh, i don't mind if people trace* my art,

****AS LONG AS*****

they're not posting it, and especially not posting it claiming it's their own. anyone can *privately * use my work to learn shapes or lines or whatever else, tracing is a good tool to feel out the shapes in art.

👍

note: by tracing, i specifically mean breaking down the art to bare bones shapes. finding the circles and squares and bean shapes that compose the anatomy in a piece, NOT just tracing along the lines. direct tracing does not work as a tool, and is something i'm very not okay with happening to my work. ... annnd is something i very heavily encourage you to avoid for the sake of learning on your own.

#most of my poses are super generic imo so very especially okay if you mean standing facing the left with hand up lol. #there's way too much of a stigma against tracing in art communities when like. it's a REALLY good way to get a feel for anatomy and shapes #back in highschool/college i traced uh. luxebytes (yes i know the drama surrounding them forgive me i was in highschool) #coconutmilkyway creamsie okamiwolven n like. a whole lotta other artists i still admire today. not to mention i STILL trace poses in find o #pinterest and google and sometimes tumblr of human people just for practice #n for the record. before someone beats my door down with a bat: #AGAIN. i do NOT mean just tracing over the lines of someone's work. i get how tempting it sounds from a beginner standpoint to just have th #piece look like art style you like but. it's not only super uncool but won't help you learn. #them's my onions. obviously don't reference artists who specifcially ask not to be referenced #but #i dont mind with my art specifcally as long as youre doing it Morally Correct :] #last time i got asked if someone could reference my art they straight up recolored one of my ocs n posted it as their own but i'm assuming #you don't mean that lol <3 #ask #anon

So a friend of mine started running a Pokemon ttrpg for a few of us, and I’m having a very good time so far

I caught my first pokémon yesterday — my first Pokémon aside from my starter, that is — and it went something like this:

#my art #just me rambling #my character is a bit of a disaster and it’s great #their motto so far is #‘I don’t ask my Pokémon to get into any fights I ain’t willing to get in myself’ #and. uh. yeah. #half the battles I’ve been in have involved me stepping in with a baseball bat because I don’t want my starter to get hurt #…..the other half have just been me looking at my starter like ‘don’t worry I got this’ and letting my beloved starter stand by #while I bap a pigeon over the head with a stick #Anyway #my starter is a trapinch named Clementine (because she is Round and Orange and Sweet) #and my newly acquired Meowth is named Lucky. Because he is. #both of them are very Friend-Shaped and I adore them #also my friend who is GMing makes very silly Pokémon Noises for us and it makes me laugh

source on Flint?

The dirt.

Okay, joke answer aside, I'll put the source under the cut...

I'm going to assume that you're likely referring to the fun fact tidbit that I posted yesterday about Flint originally intended to be involved in the Jealous Bass boss fight.

The Cutting Room Floor has an archive of stuff that was cut from Mother 3 but still exists as data within the game. If you scroll down to Flint, you'll see that he has unused sprites for dodging the train, which is an event that happens in chapter 4.

And if you put Flint into your party as the second party member in debug mode then go to the train, he will dodge the train with that sprite animation. Compare that to Claus, who when programmed to be the second party member, does dodge the train like intended (and Boney, as the third party member, does not) but does not display the proper animation for this motion, we can see that while the behavior of jumping out of the way is programmed into the second party member, they only have the proper sprite for the scene if they're supposed to be there. This tells us that Flint was supposed to be involved in Chapter 4, at least up until the train, but was cut late into development. The only thing that stops Flint from jumping out of the way is the fact that he isn't there.

We also have a cut animation of what appears to be Flint clinging onto the airship, which is what Lucas and the rest of his party does at the end of chapter 5. Now, can I say with absolute certainty that this is what this animation is intended for? No, because I wasn't on the development team. But considering how closely that sprite of Flint resembles the rest of the party in that scene:

And how close Chapters 4 and 5 are to each other, as well as how the Spaceworld (1999) Earthbound 64 trailer* (apologies for the blurriness, but TCRF does have a clearer image of this scene on their website) does show Flint, along with Lucas, Claus, Duster, and Boney clinging to an airship, it's easy to deduce that's it's highly likely that Flint was intended to be in the party at least up until the party separation at the end of Chapter 5.

Also, so no one could say that that animation of Flint was actually supposed to be for Chapter 7 when Lucas and company were clinging onto the bird cage, here's a screenshot of that. You can see that if Flint was involved here, his animation would've had him hanging on from the wrong direction (apologies for the Lucas mooning).

[Also as a small aside: while not exactly evidence on its own but something worth pointing out, there is a notable difficulty spike in Chapter 4 when there's only Lucas and Boney in the party. The enemies at this point in the game the can wipe your party quite easily if you're not careful, and I always struggled against them even in the standard mode and I'm sure I'm not the only person who experienced this (while the game tells you not to mess with the Cattlesnakes, there's nothing to stop the Horsantulas and Ostrelephants from running right at you and initiating a battle). Having a heavy hitter in your party like Flint would've made the chimeras outside of Club Titiboo as well as the Jealous Bass easier. Again though, I'm not going to use my experiences as evidence because it could just be that I'm not good at the game.]

So, we have a timeframe that says that Flint was supposed to be in the party from around the beginning of Chapter 4 to at least the end of Chapter 5, which is well within the timeframe that the Jealous Bass boss fight occurs. Now, of course, just because there's evidence that Flint was supposed to be in the party for Chapters 4 and 5 doesn't mean that he would've been involved in the Jealous Bass boss fight with a 100% certainty. Flint could've been rendered incapable of participating in the attic dungeon (and, subsequently, that fight) for one reason or another. Maybe he gets locked in the bathroom while showering? Who knows? While it would've been an odd story direction, I wasn't the one making those sorts of decisions, so I can't say with absolute unshakable faith that he was going to be there. And for that, I apologize. I have changed the wording of that post a bit so it's a bit more ambiguous. There's nothing I can do for versions that have been reblogged unfortunately, but at least the base post reflects that. But there's at least enough evidence to prove that this is likely what was intended to happen.

* While I do not consider Earthbound 64 and Mother 3 the same games, it's undeniable that Earthbound 64 did lay the grounds for the direction that Mother 3 went in. If the only piece of evidence I had for Flint clinging to the airship was from that trailer alone, I would not have used it.

#(i was also going to bring up the fact that Flint can also equip more stick items than just the ones that appear in chapter 1 #barring 2/3 of them (which were likely the baseball bat(s) and maybe the mythical stick if memory serves) but i couldn't access the debug #menu. i spent hours trying just messing around on my emulator to try to access that but i couldn't so i didn't want to bring it up as #evidence when i couldn't prove it myself. it is interesting though how flint can equip sticks that he wouldn't have had access to #during chapter 1. if it was just a matter of all of them being considered stick-like items then why is it that flint is barred from #using 2/3 of them that lucas can use? #eh. either way it feels like flint was supposed to be more present in the story than he was with all the stuff they had for him #that didn't get used. and while I'm fine with the direction that the story went in i wonder how his presence would've shaped the story... 🤔 #good on you for asking though anon. it's very easy to just make up stuff on the internet and try to pass it off as true. #after all I've been hearing rumors for years that m3 was supposed to be 12 chapters long with a morality system and multiple endings #and as cool as that all sounds they're just that: rumors) #i typed this all up on mobile so let me know if any of the links aren't working or whatnot and I'll try to fix them
