THE CATERPAINTER COMMISSIONS

I do not use a slot system, instead I leave my inbox open to inquiries and take them as they come. I will post whenever commissions are closed.

DM on here or Discord (thecaterpainter) if you are interested

I am saving up for when I transfer from community college to a university next fall, and as of this moment, commissions are my only source of income for this as well as everyday things. Every bit helps!

Commission for @raynecloudcreations

[butch-sylveon]

anyway if you want to watch an actually good minecraft izekai you should watch Mary and Dad's Minecraft Adventures

[cloud-craft]

If you want to know how i view herobrine’s characterization, I watched by Mr. Herobrine’s Singalong Tragedy at least once a day for months when I was 11 years old

[strifesolution]

sorry guys i’m still deltarune brained but you know that post going around asking what characters outside said media would have the freedom motif? what mcyt characters would. give me your thoughts.

[t4t4tclethian]

it just hit me that the average watcher lore enjoyer doesn’t even know about the actual basis of watcher lore. they don’t even know the entire fanon is largely derived from one fanfiction written in 2019

[t4t4tclethian]

being in the hermitcraft fandom since early 2021 will skew your perception like crazy. what do you mean everyone doesn’t know who the sewer cats were. that scarian used to be a rarepair. they don’t know about the 2019 hermitblr shipping discourse. the fics that shaped fanon interpretation. do they even know why grian is a parrot. or why impulse is a demon. oh my god they probably dont

[pikmininaplane]

The truth is. I think being in MCYT fandoms has ruined my perception of what is and isn’t acceptable as a name forever

[phosphoresccent]

new members only botc spoilers under the cut!!

HOLYSHIT the fucking *hard end* to the day with the storyteller going "Oh, Sophie, Sophie, Sophie, you thought we wouldn't notice you breaking the rules? Nice try - but it's time for the consequences." in like, a gentle voice??? im gone. sent.

Some more marker experiments, once again with the spaceman :]

The Chunk Manager keeping things nice neat and orderly

[cloud-craft]

This may become a bit rambly because im bad at explaining my thoughts, but I keep thinking about how different, and yet same Xephos is between Yoglabs and

This Xephos is most likely a clone, and yet he acts slightly different. Focused on the aesthetics rather than the substance, okay with handling smaller projects that dont seem as productive. And yet, theres still that yearning to be in Control that we’ve seen before.

He said it himself, he does not understand what is being explained and it makes him feel inadequate, so he latches onto the Chunk Manager position. Putting himself in a position of control that probably felt so familiar, but not familiar enough. He could tell people where to place things and have them answer to him, but he still wasnt in charge. Not at all. He has no clue what’s happening in the big picture, and I dont think Xephos of any kind is used to that.

This makes a lot of sense. I think at least part of it is that he is not in (nor does he have a way to obtain) control over the entire situation. He does not know how he got to this planet or why he, specifically, was sent there and he has no way of obtaining information on that count.

There is a degree of needing to submit to the situation and gain control where he can find it, which is in the aesthetics and having a leadership role. Understanding the mechanics of the factory would not get him any closer to learning the secrets he really cares about, and so he does not stress over them in the same way Yoglabs Xephos would. For Yoglabs!Xephos, understanding how everything works was something that he cared about because he was under no one’s thumb, so he was the puppet master pulling the strings. He was the one who had to understand how the strings move in his hands, but now he recognizes that he is the puppet (and likely his own puppet). Although Xephos has always been distrustful of others, I think the combination of helplessness and the idea that he can trust himself (wishful thinking or not) is what I think fuels the change.

It’ll be interesting to see how his characterization changes once he gets more information about the whole situation and he gets more agency over it.

the sheer amount of storyteller!xephos i draw is a little bit silly -

Rewatching yoglabs for fun and because im like, slowly being dragged back into yoglore. And Xephos insisting the “Space Coffee” tastes good according to everyone else is so funny to me with the fanon that hes an alien. I 100% think he drank that sludge and liked it and is deflecting

Got some paint markers for christmas and did these doodles to test them out :]
