Welcome to my blog!

Hello! I'm Eruraima (you can call me Eru!), and I'm an Italian digital artist trying his darndest to grasp how Tumblr works, and it's about damn time I did an intro post here

This blog is mainly to post and yap about Outer Wilds, the piece of media that has shaped my life over the course of the past few years. I will probably post about my OCs, too. It's nice to meet you all!

Honestly I'm not really diverse when it comes to nicknames, and pretty much everywhere I go I'm known in the same way!

about "Nowlk"

[eruraima]

I'm probably the only idiot who would make an OC out of a character who canonically dies a terrible death in Echoes of the Eye

Anyways. Go forth my Catka. Interesting choice of words

> proceeds to get disintegrated

[myeteore]

it's finally time!! meet the one and only Granite!!! the reason for the name "granite trio", and the original spark that ignited the creation of Outer Wilds Ventures. they're Gneiss's best friend and little Feldspar's "cool adult"

Little doodle of mama and grub!

I was feeling a little demotivated so just decided to play with some simple colours and textures after a sweltering day on the farm!

[eruraima]

Everyone and their mama is so obsessed with Tomodachi Life rn and so am I. Go my Solanum

OW EotE; Owlk Anatomy

since i enjoy speculating anatomy on the regular i decided to put together some images (feat, my shittily photobashed skull) and thoughts to try and figure out WHAT the Owlk are

this is all speculation of course, and funnily started with my love of teeth and dental anatomy, but then i got sucked into the owlk anatomy a bit too much would love to hear or see other peoples' takes!

[eruraima]

Yes, yes!! This is very good!

The Owlks have very clear bunodont teeth, which are the teeth that critters like bears, humans and swines have. So your interpretation that they're omnivorous is very likely spot-on, OP!

Something else that I've been able to observe in-game is that their "thumbs" (mostly the one that substitutes the "pinky" finger) can and will happily shift its position to act more like a thumb or a finger at will. Similarly, irl owls are able to twist one of their talons so that it can be in both a zygodactyl and anisodactyl form, and grip better on prey and tree branches! (Observation featuring my crappy in game screenshot) So again, a very very spot-on theory

To this day, I still don't know if those things they have on their heads are horns or antlers. I'd personally lean more towards antlers, considering that horns have a bone base and a keratinous shell, while antlers are fully bone. Rosettas are barely visible on the antlerless model, so maybe that's something that would be able to help? Additionally You-Know-Who's broken antler proves that they're not hollow inside, so maybe they're actually antlers? Who knows! They could very much be a secret third thing

I hella agree that they're mammalian, though! The mummy models show that they have a very visible navel (even if a navel isn't a solely mammalian characteristic, considering that animals that develop in an egg have a yolk sac, but one so visible might indicate a mammalian umbilical cord)!

They also have a six pack and incredibly weirdly shaped ribcages and pelvis, but we don't talk about that

Thank you for this very awesome post, OP!

That's Tuff

My piece for the first round of @outerwilds-events Resonant Echoes Remix! Keep an eye out in about a month for everyone else's Remixed works hehehehe

This idea was based on a silly conversation @awanderingmuse and I lolll, we were talking about how some of the Hearthians need more love and attention! including Tuff ::3

I built the tuff cave in a creative Minecraft world, redrew all of the individual block textures, reconstructed the scene based on my build, drew in Tuff, and then added a bunch of effects/texturing to make it all mesh together better!

And if you couldn't tell the diamond ore is supposed to look like the little star-like ore in the Zero-G cave haha

Also!! the title has a quintuple meaning:

Tuff, the Outer Wilds character

tuff, the Minecraft block

tuff, the real life ore

tuff, as in "tough," as in difficult to deal with

tuff, as in "tough," as in the slang term meaning epic/swag/cool

tuff tuff tuff

I've been vacuumed up in the Tomodachi Life bandwagon and I've spent an hour of my life crafting a Nomai robe for my Nomiis (feat. my daughter Rhan as the model)

[dekkiidan]

Go my Pip!

This is kind of a mishmash of a reference for them for Art Fight, but luckily I had lots of doodles and art all ready to go!

The little logo on their shacket is one of the Feller busts I've been working on the Ranch, hehe! I think it looks quite smart :3c
