[Start ID. A digital drawing of Gabriel and V1 from Ultrakill in super-saturated, pixellated colors. It seemingly takes place during phase two of his second fight, judging by Gabe's bright yellow-cyan wings and the consequent blush shining through his helmet. Gabriel is pictured on the left, facing the left side of the screen with his head turned to V1, preparing to strike them with the bloodied spear in his right hand. Small but frequent splatters of blood dot his armor and outstretched wings, fabrics torn through in places. V1 is on the right, aiming its piercer revolver at his face. Their arms are stacked in pairs on either side, idle Feedbacker and Knuckleblaster on the left and Whiplash tucked atop their default arm on the right. Both parties are stylized to resemble insects, Gabe with beetle wings and a halo in the shape of antennae, and V1 with the four wings, four arms, short antennae and bristles expected of a dragonfly. End ID]

woah.... happy 1 year anniversary to gay people

also a couple alts (background removed, just gabe, and just v1, respectively) in hopes it'll be a little easier to understand what's going on and all!

additionally once again: special thanks to @magnumopos and @muzzleroars , neither of which I have actually spoken to in my life but both of which are credited with partially inspiring this! (dedicated section under the readmore due to the fact I do not generally tag people at all ever and wasn't sure if I should, but thought it was worth mentioning!) The former for giving me the wonderful idea of dragonfly V1, the latter for drawing V1 like a strange little creature + for the feedbacker plate, I enjoy both your works :]

(retroactively, on march 27th of 2024, assigning them a full bingo with credit to deep-space-lines. ehehehehe)

gonna treat this ask as serious heres what i do lmao

okay first i draw the guidelines bwop!

see look spongers legs got longer BAHAHAH he is no longer squish

and uhh. thats it. here look at a side profile i did for that one springbun post i did

sometimes i hafta redo the baseline sketch if i dont like how it turns out the first time (its a good thing its so quick) i hadta do that with the first pose lol.

#spacie splains #uhhh ye :> #my shapes arent as 3d as i would like them 2 be i still have no idea howta do funky angles and shapes with the torso its like one #of the most challenging things for me rn #anyways #i hope this helped (?) #i dont follow my guidelines 2 a t they're just there 2 help #so usually my sketches come out diff than the base #thumbs up!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! #this is kinda sorta a ref sheet ig #the shapes are the same even with diff angles you just kinda hafta twist em #spacie scribbles #his torso usually gets longer when i draw lol

Solar corona, seven years apart: 2017 and 2024

#my photos #let's pretend I took any time whatsoever to check my camera settings before taking these. let's also pretend they're actually in focus #anyway shitty as they are they are mine :) #i am actually kicking myself because had they been in focus my 2024 photos would have been able to show the prominences #as it is they're just blobs in my best exposures 😑 IT'S FINE. #the shape of the 2017 corona was soooooo spectacular and distinct! i will always pick it out right away #but the prominences from this year. i mean. it was gorgeous #i have seen two eclipses and they are both my favorite :)

[gideonisms]

I love arranging it's like YES YES THE OBJECTS ARE IN LOCATIONS

#i do sometimes wish i had a messy apartment and a put together life #anyway i acquired a new favorite object at goodwill yesterday a mug in my favorite color #i was wondering about the previous owner and why they would give up such a nicely shaped mug #was it an older person who passed away or just someone moving? #maybe they're just in a smaller apartment now and they have other mugs they like better #maybe their favorite color isn't sky blue #i wish i knew their whole story #why didn't you like this mug? #i do think about the people who owned my things before me and wish them well sometimes #it's nice to be connected like this #i think that's what i like so much about stories where people explore abandoned places #it's also about knowing other people in a very genuine way #not what they present to the world but how they really lived #idk

Some highlights from a tense but still very Winterkov-y scene (Patreon)

#Doodles #Adventure Time #Fionna and Cake #Simon Petrikov #Winter King #Winterkov #The first five are all in sequence and then from there it's a bit sporadic #I dunno if this is one I'm gonna finish by they did both turn out very cute so I wanted to show some of them off lol #It's mostly a headcanon comic about how they differ in attractions (basically how much influence the Crown has on Winter) #I initially compared Winter to a slightly more chill Bill Cipher - a non-human entity inhabiting a human body #Probably tempered by how much Simon is still left over - not a lot but even a little does make a difference! #In that there's a lot of things the Crown might get out of a human body while still experiencing an entirely alien interpretation of stimuli #It's all just a lot of character analysis headcanon stuff lol - the Winterkov is still the main focus! Here anyway lol #I am very endeared at the idea posited by some fanfic writers that inviting Simon to the lab was just a pretense lol #He /did/ have to get out of his clothes before getting into new ones lol #They really do both have such lovely designs ah <3 They're fun to draw! #This was a lot of settling into them - I love the little floof-lifts that Winter has from Simon #His hair is long but it's still not completely able to weigh itself down from his voluminous bob! Very cute #The nose ears and shape of Winter's glasses really set him apart but their similarities are so fun #And while it's not featured here Simon's shy little smiles vs. Winter's big and loud expressions! Their contrasting features are so neat! #Very enjoyable character design

kirbytober 2023 21 + 26 : fav characters + ship [ prev || next ]

putting this at the top because it's extremely important but i received a message implying that some folks headcanon these two as drastically different ages. you may headcanon whatever you like of course, but in my work i firmly think that they're both full adults who are at least 25+. this is abundantly clear in my work. i'm not interested in headcanoning any of them as literal children and i would never touch that shit. dni if you think that sort of ship would actually be okay. don't be a freak. thanks.

very typical to take your favs and then also shove them together but isn't that the point. anyway i have literally never seen anybody else ship them (if you're out there... hello... 😭) despite them both being very main characters and i don't know why?? they could be so cute i think...

they are both industrious adventurers, prolific hard-workers (team task doers), and a little cheekily competitive!

i think that bandee is no stranger to a wide variety of close and intense relationships; he's beloved by many and loves them all equally but distinctly in turn. magolor on the other hand has been sooo isolated and lonely for such a long-ass time, he barely knows how to be friends let alone really care for someone. bandee is smart enough to be suitably wary but kind enough to give him a chance despite that, which i think would knock him off his non-existent feet instantly. in reply, magolor could give him something unique by loving and prioritising him utterly singularly, in a way bandee wouldn't even have realised he was missing

in awtdy (pictured in the sketch page; if you see a tattered looking magolor in my art it's probably this au) in particular they are both thrown into the angst soup together and come out insanely trauma bonded at the hip. their friendship/relationship is central to the plotline; together they're working on a solution to the timeline anomaly, while also hiding that they even really know each other the whole time

#kirbtober #kirbytober #bandana waddle dee #magolor #my art #my hcs #awtdy au #yelling 'hello' into the void like the voyager probe hoping to reach another living creature who speaks the bandeemagolor language #i tend to ship in a kind of qpp way just for clarification. i kinda just don't think amatonormative romance exists the same on popstar #that said they are like... utterly unwell about each other. insane. i just am not sure they are “Dating” yknow? i dunno how to explain this #but if you are arospec and you Get What I Mean then you can say that they're in love and stuff. if you get it yknow?? yknow. #mental illnesses shaped like each other. #i know bandee is 'the normal guy' but i think he can be a little mentally unwell sometimes too; as a treat #anyway.... that's it that's the rarepair. maybe its up to me to make this a thing. do you wanna be sold on this pair?? i can do it probably #they *don't even have a tag name* but i will make up one so that people can filter it out if they want to mute it: #bandee x magolor #🍎

[mint-is-here]

psssst

@cherllyio remember when we were talkign about nezha headcannons an you said that i should draw him in a dress?? like 2 weeks ago i think???

WELL GUESS WHAT I FINALLY DID TODAY-

there are several drawings in this since i was doodling on magma for like 3 hours but HE IS HERE. IN LIKE THREE PLACES BUT HE IS THERE

ignore the wukong i was just trying to get into the drawing mood and couldnt erase him becuase he's silly-

anyway some close ups

(this is not him in a dress but it's my personal sort of civilain outfit for nezha and he looks cool)

fun fact i did too much research on chinese dresses and the one i chose is supposed to be from the Sung/Song dinasty and it has a ribbon thing similar to nezha's and it looks a bit too fancy for him but i like it so yay

hope you like it:)

#i did a little thing on how i draw his hair but its like not that important so didnt put a close up on it #nezha is the second character in lmk i give some sort of symbolism on the hair shape #i do that with red son's because i wanted to add horns but i though there was already too much going on on his face #so i just shaped some strands of his hair near his ponytail to look like bull horns #they're not really there but they still are silluete wise #sort of like how PIF has her hair styled like bull horns in canon #anyway normal tags now #my art #lmk nezha fanart #lmk nezha #magma doodles #magma art #digital doodle #lmk

I mean this in the ace-est possible way but Dimple-in-Reigen's-body is really hot. sorry.

#'but scribe you don't experience attraction what does this even--' #I Do Not Know. #it's just. it's just the Vibes. #other things with similar Vibes include: #really good topstitching #when art is a specific kind of Very Shaped #extremely sharp knives #(ONLY craft knives tho cooking knives and weapons don't count) #olivier armstrong fullmetalalchemist #um. the concept of herb spirals in permaculture #enjambment #a lot of literary devices actually #anaphora is very sexy #sestinas if they're good #ANYWAY the point is that i went from the sort of ace person who would never in a million years use words like 'hot' or 'sexy' #to the sort of ace person who uses them and the things they describe are sure a Category #but not a category that maps in any way at all onto the commonly accepted actual definitions of the words #and then very occasionally a character will enter The Category #and i'll be like what the fuck i don't feel like that about *people*!? #and then i have to remind myself that it's the same feeling as looking at topstitching #okay that's one point #the other point is still that possessed Reigen is hot #ace stuff #mp100

Confession time. Despite how good I try to be about not touching old pages outside of the tiniest of quick-edits, I went back to this one right before it was time to post and completely re-drew, re-colored this panel. SHAME. So this panel has his final current design after drawing him for a huge chunk of the chapter lol I'm not redrawing any others though, so it'll go back to me slowly getting the sequential design down after this page. I just needed this panel /expression to land, and I (hated the original one so so so much. So wonky, so terribly wonked.)

#solivaga #elias #pu art #my art #confessions of comic rat #so I guess you can safely say this is the exact silhouette I've decided/landed on #this silhouette for his hair and those repeating shapes are where we landed #they're all pretty minor tweaks from his 'finalized' design but they make a huge difference #anyway I just wanted to tell on myself #shame shame shame on rat

I saw @you-hate-time-travel reblog a drawing of pyro with a pickaxe through their(?) eyehole (also, looking at it now, is missing half of one of their hands) (gore) and was like "hey. this person likes pyro and also clubs deuce. yanno what would be fun to draw?" then I made a note in the notes app on my phone (because it was v late) and then I did a quick doodle on a screenshot of that in the photo editor and went to sleep and the next day (today) I drew it traditionally and then added color digitally

concept sketch(?) and uncolored traditionals below

#reblog #my art #gossie draws #homestuck #tf2 #also. tbh. I kinda just wanted to draw clubs deuce and pyro. tf2 guys (gender neutral) are So shaped and I adore that. #and clubs deuce is a fantastic little guy #must say. pyro's left hand (their left. your right) on the boom image was. so hard. I was looking at my own hand and I still had to redo it #at least a couple times #btw. clubs has little buggy feets. bc i love drawing digitigrade feet. also they're fun :3 #u can see them better in the uncolored sparkler one #(actually. ARE they digitigrade feet when they are. bug. ?) #(I have not put enough thought into carapacian anatomy to answer this question.) #anyway. look at his little bug paw feets :3

How would you change elvin fashion/or how do you think elvin fashion should be?

First order of business: leggings are OUT! yes this entirely personal, but they (or at least the girls) wear leggings with EVERYTHING and I simply could not and will not. And it's also incredibly plain and boring, and they can do better.

The main thing is just that practically none of what we hear described makes an impression. The only thing they do is some undescribed embroidery and added jewels (usually described as "jewel encrusted" or simialr, no further detail), and Sophie keeps saying it looks super fancy and wealthy, but I'm unconvinced. I will grant that the capes are more distinctly elven and memorable, but I think they can be improved upon as well

What, exactly, the distinct thing "should" be depends on preference. And it's difficult to make it universal since elves are around the world, and a group's clothing tends to reflect their environment. One option is since they're a light-based society, to have a lot of skin showing to better absorb the sunlight--yes, this is also partially personal because that's what I like, but since not all elves are in a warm environment this doesn't work great for all areas. Another route is to incorporate a lot of gold--thread and jewelry--into their dress to reflect that sunlight, though we do run the risk of overlapping to heavily with goblins.

We could also bring back the trick with Jolie's lumenite dress, expanding that more broadly to making glowing garments. Perhaps with other glowing materials as well, though I'm not sure what specifically. That might be the best option actually, as it can be incorporated into a variety of fabrics and styles for the various weather conditions.

Another idea would be, instead of the clothes specifically, to focus on the culture surrounding clothes. They have an overabundance of clothes, what if they frequently switched outfits throughout the day? Something for a brisk morning, then they switch to something else when it warms up, and back into something else for the evening then night, etc. We could get more specific for positions of power--e.g. what if the councillors, who are supposed to be the best of the best, change clothes to reflect the colors of the sun/sky throughout the day? To reflect their enlightenment and atonement to the world?

Like I said, a variety of ways to go about it even beyond this, but the main thing is right now they feel like human clothes with the words "embroidery" and "jewel" stuck on. We can improve upon this :)

(also would love to see clothing not tied to gender. more ubiquitous styles and choices across all sexes and genders. why hold on to human socially constructed separation?)

#kotlc #kotlc worldbuilding #with the glowing clothes thing perhaps it could be mainly incorporated into capes #which. if we're going capes. I like the one drawn in biana's style guide best out of l official art #it's actually got some shape and texture to it #they're all about grace and elegance right? lets see that in their clothes! #and. i think they should have way more jewelry. just personally #all sexes and genders #they should decorate themselves!!! they love beauty cmon guys #anyway. just some thoughts :) #there's a million other avenues to explore as well

it's the day after posting the last chapter of where there is darkness and my brain literally exploded ideas with for my cult cas fic. you guys. YOU. GUYS. i cannot wait to share this version of dean and cas with you.

#they're toxic they're babygirl they're broken they're trying #they're canon-shaped #they're twisty #theyre in love in a really endearing way #my GOD!!! #I JUST WISH I COULD HAVE IT ON PAPER #anyway. go about your day i'll be over here madly typing<3 #sam rambles #cult cas fic #IT HAS A TAG NOW #no really there's so many twists and turns in this plot it's not even funny #which like i thought oh ill make this fic more straightforward but lets be honest my brand is twists #that's really all i'm good for #so i'm leaning into it

two EARLY early rusty pfps of mine.........these are so old it feels like they're from another dimension at this point. both are from september 2022 or so

#you can see that I clarified what I wanted from my rusty very quickly #these versions are maybe a handful of weeks apart #the left is my first colored drawing of rusty and the one on the right already features a lot of my trademarks #face rust‚ near-black base‚ no orange in the costume itself‚ red theme‚ FANGS‚ yellow eyes‚ chin shape and mullet #overall a heavy broadway / g mowry influence combined with my own headcannons #you can also see exactly how rusty's face rust eventually grew into the large path across his nose cuz i just added more every time LOL #and the old four pointed star in his eyes headcannon which i came up with on my first day into starex and eventually stopped drawing bc- #-the way i draw eyes just doesn't really allow for it #anyways. history lesson or whatever #these were both my pfp for some time but i never actually POSTED them #i can do another few posts with my pfps but probably on mus1ca1 instead bc they're lower quality from here on out #stex fanart #rusty the steam engine #stex #art or whatever

I did not mean any offense with my last ask I just wanted to know how good of a friend you are to Starflung Bandana. Is she a Kirby level friend?

hmm, i'll step in. starflung here (not starstruck, who we'll leave outta this one) but bandee can't answer this because he'd never consider categorising his friends this way. his relationships with each of his friends and loved ones are unique and individual and resonate with him in a way that is incomparable to each other; every one is irreplaceable and inimitable!

that said.... absolutely not. kirby is utterly singular to everybody who knows him. nobody is a kirby-level friend; not to bandee, not to anyone.

#also bandee is clearly in love with kirby next question #(platonic. mostly. hate having to put this but too many folks just don't get it. if you're aroace and get it you can say they're in love.) #anyway i think everybody has a mental illness shaped like kirby of the stars. he is The Guy of all time. #bandee and starstruck are close but it's just not the same. nobody could ever be like kirby for anyone but *especially* for bandee #not even if bandee were paired 'romantically' with someone else. it's still kirby number 1 at the end of the day. am i getting this across. #*starstruck* on the other hand... #my art #bandana waddle dee #asks
