“Now there’s nowhere left to hide.”
I was gripped by the need to draw him properly again.
Any excuse really to get a little more used to drawing the reworked armour design. It’s not the biggest change, but I keep forgetting little things about it because I’ve been drawing the other one for so long.
I just really like how the greyscale looks too tbh.
Also for the color ask: Houdini for Ceres???
Oh man, these ones were hard for me, but that's the point of these!
Turned out alright though! Thank you for the prompt!
[Send me a colour pallet here!]
I really struggle with colours and want to try and push myself more, so I made my own little palette challenge thing to try encourage myself to try different things!
How does our boy Jax handle being, well, handled at the start of his 'on no im smol' problems? Whether by friends or uh... people he's not too keen on? What parts stand out to him the most?
Jax's methods to handle being handled in those early days ranged from verbal abuse, kicking, and at least one case of biting.
He couldn't verbalise that he was absolutely terrified of everything around him, even people he knew. The sheer scale of what had happened to him, and the sudden loss of autonomy really freaked him out. Add the overwhelming machine of the human body flexing, moving and pressing on him, and he spent most of those early days either on the edge of, or in the middle of a panic attack.
But of course he tried to pretend that wasn't what was happening. 'it's fine!' 'He's just frustrated' etc. Any excuse to try and not confront his situation, when everything IS confronting.
After an incident with Ceres (She yelled at him and scared him so bad he couldn't pretend or hide behind anger, suddenly everyone is aware of how frightened he was and it was a needed confrontation tbh), Jax mellowed a little bit. He figured his situation was permanent at that point, so whenever someone went to pick him up or he was in someone's hands, he'd just go limp and let it happen.
His handling of being handled shifts after he discovers that he will bounce if dropped. He's sturdier than anyone thought, and after he's able to shift, he becomes a little more okay with things, because at least he can get his own back with a snowball or something later.
Overall, the handling he undergoes in those early weeks taught him alot. When he is suddenly able to get bigger, he recalls everything he hates about being handled, and tries not to inflict that on others if he can avoid it.
Things that stand out: - Different people subconsciously hold him differently (Monroe cradles. Ceres restrains, Alan avoids holding him at all) - All hands are doing so much at all moments. Even the stillest hand has microflexes and the bump of a pulse. And the flex and shift in skin his own body can cause when he moves freaks him out a little. - If you go limp, people are less rough with you because suddenly then think you feel more fragile. - The difference between protective, curious, frightened, and affectionate holds are incredibly noticeable to him. This was a surprise when he figured it out.
If Jax had to choose to be tiny or giant for the rest of his life which would he prefer?

attack for @rubeau-art !
(that I forgot to upload here :'') )

Again, you've done such a fantastic job with him!
Do you guys know what an Ypê is? You need to know what an Ypê is.
Now you know what an Ypê is. Come to Brazil we have colorful flower ball tree everywhere
ArtFight 2026 Mass Attack!
It’s an assortment of smols! I really wanted to do a G/t mass attack this year, so I packed in as many tiny characters as I could manage to draw. It was a ton of fun to draw all the different designs people have for their tiny characters. I hope everybody enjoys this piece!
Credits and close-ups below the cut:
Oh my goodness, this is such a cute and lovely idea!!!
Thank you so much for including my boy!!!
dragonborn for @i-am-lich
Meet the Codhex, our most recent D&D crew! Feel free to ask about the characters! This smart and inventive group solved multiple tech/supernatural intrigues. Follow me on social media! Tik Tok - Instagram I post a lot of D&D drawings too: More Codhex content here
Sometimes, because of his particular ‘skills’, Jax has some missions that he has to do alone.
Ceres and Monroe don’t like it.

oh my gosh I kicked the art block!
Not going to push it too much right now, but this has done wonders for my mental health you have no idea.
Not me sitting here thinking about how they have this moment here right before the Stygian confrontation where he looses his arm.
"Come back in one piece."
Well technically he did, because the second piece is inside a Stygian Midra so he couldn't exactly bring it home. Gross.
Hey all!
So, I've been putting this off for one reason or another, but as of today, I'll be keeping $5 doodle/sketch commissions open to help fund my top-surgery!
Become a supporter of Rubeau today!
The sketches will be a little rough and probably uncoloured, but they'll stay open until future notice.
Signal boosting is also super appreciated!
Previous Comm examples!
Again, any help is appreciated!
EMERGENCY COMMISSIONS
MY POWER IS BEING DISCONNECTED TOMORROW
I was given a paper letter with a due date of tomorrow (less than 24 hours notice) for a $600 power bill and I'm freaking out because I can't pay that with no notice
Comms open for the next however many hours until I pass out.
No one owes artists anything.
But existence is lonely and sometime you throw hours and hours of effort into a void, on the slim chance it will say something back.
Me screenshotting nice comments on my work for the bad depressive dips.

Beep boop! I look for accidental haiku posts. Sometimes I mess up.
The world blurred at the edges as the too-bright lights began to pulse. Colours bled together and tangled in ribbons until they screamed.
Jax couldn't breathe. Couldn't hear past the thick and fast beat of his own heart in his ears.
Ceres was talking. What was she saying? He should be listening. But all he could think about were the words she had said moments before.
"It looks like the changes are permanent."
It was permanent.
He was going to be stuck like this forever.
---
Thinking about Act One where Ceres tells Jax that his condition isn't reversible.
This is in the first few weeks when he's stuck small, and being told as far as they can tell he'll be stuck like that sent him into a pretty bad spiral.
[The few times I got really really bad anxiety/panic attacks, it was this pulsing neon onslaught of sound and colour all screaming and pressing in. Really bad light and sound sensitivity.
It waa such a particular experience that I don't quite know how to articulate properly, but I thought it might be an interesting one to give to Jax.]
Eye contact 👁️
not pictured; his other eye is closed se he can actually kind of look at her ;)
bro these facial expressions are too good, especially Gustave’s lol 💀 always a pleasure to see updates for this story, it’s always worth the wait; keep up the good work 👍
Expressions are the most important language in comics for me, so yeah ! I try to nailed them ! And I also try to do like the game, "show don't tell" as much as I can. Thank you for your patience, and I hope you'll like the rest !
