wanted to sketch out my cleo design properly ^^

this is also very much subject to change/editing... kinda wanted to have a simple base design so i could add things on later ^^ i had so many different ideas for them i couldnt physically add them all- so better to do it when contextually relevant i think!

notes here:

-blue orchids/cornflowers worked into hairtie and braid

-hair is slightly patchy at scalp (more obvious when tied tight in a ponytail) - clumps sometimes fall out, cleo is able to sew hair back in if they please

-old scars/stretchmarks open w/ excessive movement and need to be frequently tended to

-new wounds do not heal/scar without alternative healing methods (eg. potions)

-cleo's right leg was not fully healed from the beginning - leading to mobility issues and sensitivity from constant exposure

-its unknown where exactly cleo 'came from', their memories of a "before" nonexistent despite more coherence and autonomy than other zombified beings found roaming - possible illager evoker meddling w/ other zombies could have resulted in cleo gaining their new consciousness, though this is undetermined

-totem of undying charm

-stapled/string help keep skin and clothes together - cleo can feel pain, but w/ a constant low ache already throughout their body, they dont register most smaller instances of pain like these

-proper boots to ensure feet arent torn by walking

More Witch Hat Atelier fanart! Because Custas' story is just too tragic 😭

[mossbawn]

people on here are always saying “we NEED a story where the art of storytelling is abandoned” like ugh literary devices are soo annoying like that wouldn’t happen in real life that only happened to further the story (why is there story in my story) why would orpheus turn around when he was explicitly told not to why would icarus fly so close to the sun romeo&juliet catcher in the rye why are they so earnest why pour your heart and soul into anything why bother why cant all art be quippy logical monotony like my marvel movies there’s a void in my heart bc i refused to fill it and the curtains were blue

“i hate poetry its so pretentious” but then you reblog a quote or a throwaway line and say “why does this go so hard” you are desperate for poetry you are starved for it and u dont even realise you’re hungry

the term Average Joe implies the existence of the strange Abnormal Joe and this, i think, is the proper identification for joe hills of nashville tennessee

[squishycat330]

yeah that’s pretty accurate…

I made a bunch of scugs

They're going to five pebbles

Edit: I made a video about it

Edit 2: From the reaction of multiple people, I should add that those are not 3D renders. They are hand drawn scugs

Btw the strongest raw powerlifter Tamara Walcott started lifting at 34 and broke world records at 39. And is currently 43 and still beastmoding. So if I ever hear you guys whining about being too old to learn something new at 24 I say shut the HELL up #youcandoit

Thought I would post some of my more sketchy design stuff for Tango! I was really struggling to figure out a design for his vampire skin, but then last week I got the opportunity to visit a bat rescue and now I really want to draw him as a bat hybrid!

All the bats at the rescue were fruit and nectar eating bats, so I thought it would be funny if Tango was too but claims he’s a vampire bat to keep up with his theme.

[midiscout]

Your art looks like it's full of whimsy! I love it!! I also love your bat hybrid Tango! So adorable 🫶

Thank you thank you! Here’s some more bat Tango doodles :D

HELLO HELLLO HELLOOOO I LOVE YOUR HERMIT DISPACH AU SO MUCH AAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!!! THE DESIGNS AND POWERS ARE SO GOOD :D !!!!!!!! <33 waaa !

i know bigb isnt a hermit but do u haves any headcanons for him in your dispatch au... plinks up at you so gooberoisly,,, - baseball anon

Yes I’m including the life series cast in this AU! BigB works at SDN in records and communication. He does have powers, but no one knows what they are because he changes his answer every time someone asks.

I think he’s very similar to his life series persona where his main goal is to confuse people and be cryptic. He knows everything that goes on at SDN yet never tells anything.

Hermitcraft Dispatch AU Pt. 2

We got the rest of the team assembled!

Jimmy Solidarity is the Water Boy of this universe and you CANNOT convince me otherwise XD

Also I just wanted to say thank you for the amazing response to Part 1! I just checked my askbox and it has been absolutely FLOODED with questions about the AU, I’ve been doing my best to get to as many of them as I can, but I’ve loved reading people’s theories and ideas!

I’ve really been enjoying working on this, so more to come later!

Hermitcraft Dispatch AU Pt. 1

Ok so I just finished playing Dispatch and I freaking LOVED it! Sooooo I thought it would be fun to combine my two current hyperfixations and make a Hermitcraft Dispatch AU!

Quick overview for those who have never played Dispatch:

In this AU Impulse works as a superhero dispatcher, someone who analyzes a team’s strengths and weaknesses and answers distress calls by the sending the hero most suited to the job. However, he’s been assigned to the Hermit Program, a team of former villains trying to become heroes. To say the least, it’s like trying to herd cats and the office and comm lines are always in chaos when the Hermits show up to work.

More hermits bios incoming to fill out the team roster! :D

I craved fluff.. so I whipped some up

process under the cut

if you by any chance wonder just how insane I am: I animated the whole thing last night out of nowhere. Just sat down at 9pm for a quick drawing sesh and didn't raise my head till 2am (I did take a break to record myself spinning a pillow for a reference, probably the only reason my back is still functioning)

first sketch. just basic poses and emotion (and clothes and hair and-)

first rough. Sun's hair felt a little off, so I decided to FINALLY go to sleep and see if I could fix it the next day..

..and I think I did. It's definitely more flowy, just the way I like it. I also added a little more frames for Sky in the beginning

MY HEARTTTTTTTTT

[j-train13]

Astronauts are so funny man. Here's just a couple of things I've found hilarious from this past week of space stuff:

It's probably already been spread around here enough already, but in case anyone's missed it; 7 hours after launch, commander Reid Wiseman, dealing with tech issues, uttered the generational quote "I have two Microsoft Outlooks and neither one of those are working."

After fixing the issues that were afflicting the onboard toilet, mission specialist Christina Koch (who has quickly become my favourite of the four) laughingly said “I’m the space plumber, I’m proud to call myself the space plumber.”

On Easter Sunday, the Artemis II crew hosted a makeshift egg hunt, by hiding packets of dehydrated scrambled eggs around their Orion capsule.

The way the crew always makes sure to make it very clear they're in space when doing interviews. From stuff like Wiseman just hanging out floating sideways on screen or Koch letting her hair loose so it can freely span out flowing around her.

While in transit, the crew decided to record a parody of those bad 80s sitcom intros where everyone turns and smiles at the camera.

When the crew reached the furthest point from Earth in the mission, they jokingly clambored over each other in an effort to get to the far side of the capsule, so that they could individually claim to be the furthest person from earth.

At the same time, on the ISS which was at the time on the other side of earth, the 7 astronauts onboard had a light-hearted race to the far side of the station, making jokes about being the furthest humans from Artemis.

On the way back to earth, NASA actually managed to establish an audio call between the crews of the ISS and Artemis II (where they shared the above info), and Koch called one member of the ISS crew, Jessica Meir, her "astro-sister" as the two of them previously spacewalker together in 2019. Meir then responded I'm so happy that we are back in space together, even if we are a few miles apart" (a few here being 230,000).

While Jeremy Hansen was doing an interview, Wiseman and Koch were just in the background swatting the mission mascot (a little moon plush toy named Rise) back and forth between each other.
