In my sleep I dream of phylogenetic trees

#rain world #rainworld #specbio #speculative evolution #art #this is of course extremely simplified #and also a headcanon. I cannot predict the actual evolutionary paths of video game animals #but it was fun to realize I can link yeeks and slugcats to a common ancestor! #I'll prolly add more later. vultures will be a doozy

Imagine if Machete was Muslim instead of Catholic. His name would be something like Saif سيف, and Vasco would probably be something like Dhahabi ذَهَبِيّ

.

#I don't know Arabic so I can't weigh in that much but if you say so! #it seems like these mean “sword” and “golden” respectively that's neat #Machete wouldn't be able to cling to his Catholic guilt in that case #I don't think Islam has the same concept of original sin that Christianity does #I'm simplifying but it's a belief that humans are born with an innate tendency for evil sinning is part of our nature #and staying on the positive and in God's good graces requires a lot of repentance which can lead to excess guilt and shame #I could be wrong but I'm under the impression that this idea of a manufacturing error is a very Christian thing #sorry I know you didn't sign up to hear me try to talk about big theology things and I don't want to make it weird #but I find this stuff really interesting I unironically like to read and think about how religions work #and how they shape things they come in contact with #in Machete's case in particular his troubled relationship with God and his career choice are big parts of his character #and why he turned the way he did and thinks the way he does you know #answered #kachavashka #Dhahabi is such a regal sounding name #I'd steal that in a heartbeat if I didn't already have one extremely gold-coded character

belly button impregnation concept. The gist is that when aroused the belly sorta expands with material for making babies, outie belly buttons and innie belly buttons sorta pass said baby making material between each other in an easy, definitely not technically sex manner and then either or both can carry a baby. Fun garunteed!

#Alternative pregnancy #dwpsart #I shared it on twitter and its extremely popular #I'm not taking full credit as someone did post their concept on an imageboard #But it had way too many moving parts and logistics I only simplified and drew it #belly

i want the show to have Rand tell Lanfear that he knows she turned evil because Lews Therin broke her off and for her to just immediately start ranting about tenure and about how you make ONE little mistake and create ONE little bore and suddenly everyone is mad at you all the time and you can't get a third name and you're an embarrassment to have around

#Mierin's fall to the dark is like actually extremely interesting because while yeah you can simplify it to 'Lews Therin broke her heart' #you also gotta acknowledge there was a whole catastrophe of other events in Mierin Eronailes life that very much lead to that breaking poin #like the only other guy we know who was involved in creating the bore and survived it committed suicide later #like we forget sometimes that she didn't turn to the dark right after she helped release the dark one and that was very much an accident #like you know there are a number of reasons why Mierin Eronaile turned to the dark #and probably wasn't really anyone around to stop her from turning to the dark because at that point she might as well be a darkfriend #she caused all of this anyway didn't she? #I have so many feelings about Mierin she gives me such fucking brainrot thinking about her life in the AoL and what made her Like This #like she was the only Forsaken that picked her name #and she was one of the first to openly turn to the shadow #because like fuck if everyone's going to blame her for this she might as do it exactly how she wants #wheel of time #wot on prime #wot book spoilers #wot show spoilers #lanfear #rand al'thor

Hopefully this isn't too weird but I love the way you draw hands, it's like the way you draw them seem just as expressive as the faces on the characters, I just love how they look and I hope I get there someday (if you have any tips please share but if not that's okay!)

I love your art and characters and how you draw their expressions/poses, it's all so nice!

Not weird at all, I'm very flattered! Hands have become extremely important to me, I tend to put a lot of effort in trying to get them look just right. I'm still not where I want to be with them but improving nonetheless. If you ask me, a thoughtfully and intently drawn hand can be almost as expressive as a character's face, just like you said. They're such complex and intricate structures with massive emotive and aesthetic potential, it'd be waste to not make use of them in art.

#as for the tips I guess I like to reference my own hands a lot #take photos and use mirrors if you can't get the angles right otherwise #look at your hands like you've never seen them before basically #I also love to watch animated films and really focus on the hands because due to the nature of the medium a lot of animators have really #perfected simplifying hand shapes and gestures in a way that is easy to read visually and communicates feelings extremely effectively #it's funny many artists develope a signature way of handling hands and I often look at their art and wonder if their own set of hands looks #similar to their style #I try to give my ocs a bit of variation but my default hands (and Machete's hands) seem to be just my own little gremlin mitts #at least more often than not #answered #anonymous

The fact that the next Danny Phantom comic's plot is (probably) gonna basically be "Valerie remembers Phantom Planet and that makes her kinda pissed"

Because same

#danny phantom #danny phantom spoilers #agit spoilers #ik I'm EXTREMELY simplifying it bc like. the real reason she's upset is that he lied to her from the start and even after he revealed that #she tried to trust him. after he lied to her and broke her heart and she broke up with him just to protect him from HIMSELF #and then a version of Danny that confirms everything she ever feared about him shows up #but he still has people convinced he's a good guy after all he did to her #and now he's on not-terrible terms with VLAD #who gave her her suit just so he could use her toward his own ends and lie to her #and he could've singlehandedly pulled her and her dad out of poverty but he didn't #she has a lot of valid reasons to be pissed and I'm excited to see how this will be addressed

LIKE........ @ the prev post about armor flexibility.... Is That Why They Look Like That??????? 👁️👁️

Something else fascinating I found actually when I was comparing the Askr trio (knowing Alfonse and Sharena largely match, just a few differences here and there), wanting to get a better look at Anna...

SHE HAS BIG ASS BOOTS?!????? I. COMPLETELY FORGOR ....... it gives her a real sturdy look though. Hm.... (Thinking about what this means for characterization/how I'd draw her, esp w my initial impressions kind of. Being the opposite of this LMFAOOO oops 😥)

#feh #art ref #also something funny is actually looking directly at the official art for alfonse and sharena #and seeing that they do differ in little ways like that (didn't include the full boots cause i wanted to focus on the shoes) #i just. made simplified designs of them. made them twinnies. and never looked back LMFAOOOOO #and really it does go back to that OLD old gravity falls art i did where i completely redesigned their outfits #bc i think i was still somewhat new at drawing them and bc it was a whole comic i. couldn't draw the armor. That Much. #and in that design i gave them over the knee stockings. and that just stuck. in no way do either of them have that #in canon SHKSHDKSJSK (MAYBE w how alfonse's clothes are layered. that little bunched up cloth at the knees. #but even then that's still white fabric. whereas i like giving them both red socks. extrapolating from #sharena's boot/thigh window design i really couldn't make heads or tails of back in the day LMFAOOO) #also i will say. it is an extremely funny experience to have fe as a special interest. and to have history be one of my worst subjects. #i know jack shit and fuck all. on a surface level typically i would have little interest in this sort of thing. i love these guys though!!!! #and bc i love these guys and bc i'm an artist. i am studying the most oddly specific shit you wouldn't fucking believe #from clothing (a keen interest of mine actually) to infrastructure (i hate this.) to weapons (v superficial i just think its neat!) #to. horses. even. (i respect horses as beautiful and large creatures but i'm convinced they sense fear and i don't want #to fuck everything up bc this beast is like three times my size and i am. a little nervous. cool beast though!) #what being on the autism spectrum does to a motherfucker. #fe alfonse #sharena #fe anna
