Bugg's Art Hoard

decided to make an art sideblog, my main is sbuggbot.

[sbuggbot]

this still took me like 45 minutes to make.

"But later he-- .....the vision screen of my right eye broke. My right antenna too."

I started doing online classes recently and uh. Got a little overzealous with making sure I got a head start on my reading and assignments so I wasn't rushing right before everything was due. I kind of burned my brain out entirely for a couple hours afterwards.

Projecting your problems onto Void always works (I say jokingly but with a grain of truth)

ive kinda been thinking for like, design and art purposes that maybe sparks didnt start wearing headbands until after the old organisms left. but on the other hand wouldnt it be so sad if the scientists sometimes were silly and decided to put headbands on sparks and thats where he picked up his liking for those.

It's been so LONG since my last fic----

Sparks didn’t dream.

At least, not anymore. They hadn’t in years. They didn’t know why. They couldn’t remember the last time he had dreamed. Just that they used to be able to dream and now they couldn’t.

[sbuggbot]

Putting them on my Tomodachi Life island was one of my best decisions

[sbuggbot]

Yeah I think this one explains itself

[sbuggbot]

Was thinking about Void's masking function being imperfect (especially in comparison to FP who figured out how to do it without external help). I got the idea that Void's accent colors fade to grey as a sort of warning their function's about to fail because well. They got a lot more than their eyes and the little heart on their chest showing what color they are.

Extra bit that took way longer than it should have:

[sbuggbot]

While I'm sharing old art I never posted, here's one of Sparks sleeping upright because I thought that probably happened a lot. Also I had a very specific vision as to what they'd do with their arms and needed others to see it. (I then proceeded to only send it to my close friend over Discord.)

Imagine my surprise (and delight) to see this basically happen in the DLC story.

[sbuggbot]

This is very, very old (almost a year) and I actually shared this in a drawing dump a while back, but I ended up coloring it later and just now some rambling with a mutual on my dash reminded me of it.

[sbuggbot]

I'd like to take you a little journey, one that actually occurred way back in late October. Nobody asked, but I feel like someone would be interested at least.

Obviously I draw Sparks and Void all the frickin time, but for a while I hadn't drawn any of the other members of the bowling team. (AKA Nick's minions - I just like calling them that instead of identifying them by Nick's influence on them)

First up, I drew Half and Vents from memory, because that's how I draw things 90% of the time admittedly. (You'll notice some corrections I made off to the side later on, I'll get to that)

Then I tried doing Devil from memory, which uh. Didn't go as well.

At this point I caved and pulled up the graphic for Devil's fight to look at/study.

While I was at it, I pulled up images of Half and Vents and made those little notes in the first image, then did some redraws to match Devil:

Finally, I did the same thing for Off: drawing from memory first, then doing one with a reference and cleaning up that sketch.

I was thinking of Off's overworld sprite when drawing them from memory, evidently.

So, yeah. I wish I could say I've drawn the others since then, but uhh... *runs away*

You ever revisit an album you used to listen to all the time as a kid after a therapy session and one line from one specific song sticks out to you and makes you think about your favorite character, even though the rest of the song doesn't apply to either of your situations?

Yeah, that happened to me yesterday and I spent entirely too much time on this.

[sbuggbot]

I told myself I needed to be productive while waiting for my Switch to recharge and I kept my word

[sbuggbot]

And here we see a rare instance of Sparks getting a questionable idea and choosing to act on it. (At least during the Nick era - postgame the chaos starts showing itself a little more.)

Legend says he's floating through space still wondering where the hell that nut came from.

[sbuggbot]

Sibling Shenanigans, as depicted by an only child (who saw interactions like this while visiting friends and cousins). Ended up putting entirely too much effort into this to put it in a drawing dump like I originally planned to.

[sbuggbot]

That moment you get so mad on your friend's behalf you briefly forget you have debilitating social anxiety.

Yes, I drew art of my own fic. It originally came to me as an idea for a drawing/comic anyway.
