season two of art blog i guess

Hello! 

I will be using this blog again. 

A few things to address: 

Firstly! I will not be super active on here again. In truth, burn out became my worst enemy during “season 1″ of this blog. I was constantly churning out content and it became unhealthy. I will be avoiding that in the future. I will also probably not do requests again. 

Secondly! This blog will no longer be Gaster centric. I do make Baxter art on occasion because it’s fun, but I’m no longer solely focused on him. I have a couple newer side blogs where I’ve posted some art, I will be reblogging those posts here. Aside from those, I’ve made other fan art and oiriginal pieces. Basically, the theme will be all over the place. I will still be posting occasional NSFW/NSFT content, so age restriction is still present. I will tag accordingly, of course. List of tags I know I’ll use in the future are in my description, and at the end of this post, under a read more. 

Thirdly! If you’ve stuck around since The Ban, by chance or purposely, I want to say thank you. But I also want to say that if my content is no longer your cup of tea, don’t feel obliged to stay and I wish you the best! 

Lastly! The reason for my return. Honestly, I just miss posting art on this hellsite. The way people engage on here is less scary and less stressful than anywhere else, and I have tried everywhere. After testing the waters a bit on my personal blog and newer side blogs, for quite a while, I thought about bringing this one back. I probably over-thought tbh, but eyyy. Here it is. I did it. 

Anyway! Thank you for your time!

Thanks for 200 downloads!

I didn't expect to get this many downloads, especially not so soon. And with only the demo out, too? Mindblowing.

To show my gratitude, I've made this (self-indulgent) piece; BB in all their pretty glory. 🧡

Again, thank you so much for giving "They Call" a go! It makes me so happy knowing that people enjoyed the demo enough to share it around/add it to their Itch.io collections.

Anyway, just wanted to do something special as thanks. bai! 🧡

DEMO OUT NOW

"It used to be that ghosts, fae, gods, and everything in between were things of fiction. The “veil between worlds” was something mystical; something intangible.

That was before the boundary between physical and metaphysical came crashing down, and all those things turned out to be real. 

Already too wary of the world, the change adds another layer of uncertainty to your life that you’re barely able to handle. As the situation deteriorates globally, you feel your sanity steadily slipping away. 

And amidst it all, they call for you."

They Call is a work in progress 18+ visual novel. A dark story with optional romance, sexual content, and choices that cater to monsterlovers.

DEMO ANNOUNCEMENT

1st FEB. 2025

The first of February is the one year anniversary of the code itself!

That day a year ago, They Call became more than an idea; more than a draft and some sketches.

I figured it would be a perfect day to release the demo. With the progress I've made over the last week, I am confident that I will have a finished and tested demo by then.

I can't articulate how nervous I am, but the excitement? Trampling the nerves. Can't wait to share it with you!

[chasmcritter-art]

made this for my stepdad for chrimmuh

[chasmcritter-art]

ohllo!

i need everyone here to know that i am doing a lot of art - ignore the lack of posts, i promise i am working my ass off. i have been since january!

i've done 8? (and counting) full colour backgrounds (with at least 2 variations per), 1 (with 98 fkin variations) full colour piece/cg (and counting), so many sprites i can't be bothered to count, and a bunch of UI & webpage stuff!

because i am making a visual novel! that's all on top of writing + coding

i'm bringing this up now because i am about 4ish backgrounds away from having a playable demo ready!

if you haven't already, please check out my progress blog @theycall-vn (and follow if you want to see when the demo is up - i won't be putting the itch.io page up until the demo is done)

or if you just want to see when the demo is up/game is finished, there's my chasm critter studios blog too @chasm-critter-studios

otherwise, you can follow me on bluesky (less updates, will only post when the demo is up) on chasm critter or on chasm critter studios

please consider following/sharing/playing! i love this story, the characters, this whole project. it's rekindled a part of me that i thought was gone forever.

it's so important to me and i am trying to power through my fear of being perceived to make sure people give it a try! so yeah. thank u for your time ilu 🖤

[chasmcritter-art]

i am so bored

drew bb (the love interest in my vn) shirtless

caragan de vesphire! my mc from crown of ashes and flames

babbling about them below the cut

they started as a self insert but immediately morphed into something else lol they kept a lot of my usual self insert stuff but yeah uh

pierced all over and two tattoos! one is an option from the game itself, a snake around their thigh but i also wanted to do something written on their arm

edit: also an ankle tattoo now. a teapot with a moon on it, referencing the lil tea parties they had with alistair and their conversations about getting matching tattoos one day. alistair's would have had a star instead of a moon, but it would have been the same

never knew what til i realized, just a couple days ago, the line "no amount of self-sought fury will bring back the glory of innocence" from the song take me back to eden was. super fitting

also trying to figure out clothes was so hard?? while reading, i've only ever pictured them all dressed up or armored, so i sat staring at the rosea pinterest thing for like an hour

anyway!! they spend a lot of time climbing things they shouldn't. especially considering how clumsy they are. honestly, this scene was prolly like... 5 seconds away from them falling out of the tree and laughing about it for like 20 mins

also to be clear, they do try to dress properly when they have Responsibilities To Take Care Of but as soon as they get free time, they strip down as much as they can cause they hate being hot and they're basically a person shaped radiator

uhhh i think that's all i wanted to babble about

touchstarved mc, tav again

wanted to show the tattoo and hands so

took a while to figure out a pose but i did it!

[chasmcritter-art]

my touchstarved mc, tavarius

i did have a relaxed pose and cloak versions in the works, but that’s too much effort. but! i did finish 4 (one is not shown) expressions! yaaay! 

tried my best to like... imitate the style but oof. hard work. i did okay tho! ANYWAY text below the cut cause my hand writing might be hard to read. also random info

Personality: Jaded Altruist

Likes: Solitude, drawing, reading, coffee, people watching, stargazing, booze, jewellery, triangles, the dark, all things macabre, pasta, cats, Princess

Dislikes: Crowds, people in general, being touched without warning, warm weather, being vulnerable, loud noises, seafood

Fatal Flaw: Gives EVERYONE the benefit of the doubt.

Other: Finds their cursed hands quite beautiful, despite hating the curse itself.

Quote: “Being both touch starved and touch adverse is one hell of a trip.”

they have a tattoo on their back (not shown, barely designed) but i hope to share it and how their hands look at some point. they have pierced nipnoops. they’re mostly asexual. they come across as cranky but they’re the biggest softie to ever exist. the only thing they want in life anymore is to touch people’s faces and hold hands. they have streaks grey hair, majority on the sides of their head, idk if it’s noticeable, i might fix that one day.

edit: also that satchel thing on their thigh just has rocks in it. they like rocks.
