MY ART BLOG
This is my blog for posting writing and art that I made. I make all sorts of stuff for all sorts of things, so expect to see a lot of very different content.

Smells like ozone
Ramb's limbs twitch and jerk erratically
Your hair stands on end
Ramb's jagged maw gives a patient smile
The air buzzes faintly with freedom
Ramb tries to hug Kris, but nearly crushes them instead
As many times as it takes
Nothing good can come from playing with a power strip

So! A few years ago, I found this piece of very cool fanart by the amazingly talented @mysterykidsmisadventures and at the time, as a huge enjoyer of both mystery kids (I was mainly there for coraline and gravity falls, as I had yet to see paranorman and lacked the ability to play Psychonauts) and the monster falls au, (probably my favorite of the gravity falls aus) it was probably my favorite piece of art for a good long while, and I really wanted to make something for it. However, I didn’t think I had the artistic ability to make something of suitable caliber whether it be in art or writing. So I just sort of didn’t.
THAT IS, until last October, when I had just finished my first watch of ParaNorman, and decided to finally just grab a pencil and paper to make something for this awesome art. I wanted to get this out around Halloween of that same year, but a combination of real world stuff and general anxiety stopped me, BUT NOT ANYMORE! Finally I have decided to post these drawings. They were super fun to do and I really hope you enjoy them. Just remember to check out the original artist as well!

My therapist just told me my problem is that I need to write more fanfiction.
This sounds fake but the logic behind it is actually really interesting? She said obsession with a new fandom triggers quick dopamine release when we consume all this related content--it's easy and addictive.
What we're NOT getting is that 'slow dopamine' that's more sustainable and engaging. That's the kind we get from DOING things that take effort but are ultimately rewarding.
So like, she suggested that writing fic and making fanart are ways to balance the quick dopamine of watching a show/reading fic with the slow dopamine of working at something that takes effort.
Moral of the story is you should engage in the process of creation around your favorite things. You'll feel better for it.
Oh.
OH.

Hello Pikmin fanbase! It is I, and I come bearing an OC! This is the Chaos Wraith, my concept for a sort of post-Plasm Wraith…wraith. Unlike its less malevolent and more curious cousin, this creature is not exactly something you wanna find in the back of your yard, its ability to produce gloom at-will notwithstanding. It patrols its territory and acts on a ravenous appetite towards anything that gets close, smothering it in gloom and consuming the remains. It does, however, seem to hold a significant amount of intelligence, having been observed to make complex decisions regarding other creatures and holds very strong opinions on things, especially regarding those little captain guys that its progenitor seems insistent on crashing to the surface, and those walking vegetables they use. It also seems to produce a passive aura around its territory that drives any creatures within to madness, causing them to lose all behavior and act with incredible aggression, even to normally passive creatures like spectralids, it has been observed that they do behave similarly to when night falls and it has been posited that these might be related. In any case, the creature and its territory are extremely dangerous and should only be approached in certain circumstances.
From the journal of dr Henry P. Dright
Across my many travels in this universe, I have encountered many strange and wonderful creatures throughout the many worlds that litter the stars. Tonight I recall my journey to a small cold world named Phantasmagoria in the lower quarter of the PH-3 galaxy, and my encounter with a truly remarkable group of creatures.
Genus: Somnivora
Outer membrane
Central nervous system
Notochord
4.1 Primary digestive chamber 4.2 Secondary digestive chamber 4.3 Tertiary digestive chamber
Chemical receptor nodes
Spinal grips
Esophageal passageways
Interchamber passageways
The unique biology of this genus separates it from many other similarly parasitic organisms I have encountered. Their outer membrane is thin and somewhat gelatinous, which allows even the smaller specimens to slip into orifices otherwise too small for them. This, combined with the curious compressive abilities of their musculature, makes them easily adapted for invasion of various different hosts.
Despite their endoparasitic lifestyle, they have a rather developed nervous system, which allows them a wide range of emotional responses and the ability to communicate with other beings. They also possess what appears to be a flexible notochord as well, which is another odd adaptation for such an organism.
Their digestive system is a fascinatingly complex bit of biological machinery with the function of breaking down and processing the neurological chemicals they absorb from their hosts. Separated into three distinct chambers connected by small tubes, each with a different function. The first dedicated to breaking down the chemicals and the latter two dedicated to converting the broken down molecules into energy and other compounds required to continue living.
These nodes, located in a small cavity on the front of the head, are coated in chemical receptors for the various compounds the parasite feeds on, once bound, the chemicals are drawn into the esophageal passageways and eventually into the digestive chambers to be processed.
These structures are primarily dedicated to gripping onto the base of the spine while feeding, as well as providing limited movement outside a host. The muscles in this part of the body are rather weak, so they are not particularly quick outside a host, and seem to prefer a more slithering motion as opposed to walking on these limbs
Behavior
The Somnivora genus lives an exclusively parasitic lifestyle, only capable of living outside another organism when moving from host to host. Once a host has been found, the parasite will enter through a suitable orifice and make its way to the base of the central nervous system, usually at the top of the spine in humanoid creatures, and insert their chemical nodes through weak points in the skull and absorb the correct chemicals for sustenance, only leaving when the specific host becomes dangerous or expires. Typical symptoms of infection are a lack of benefits from sleep, varying in severity depending on how much the parasite consumes, a feeling of general exhaustion, a sensation of pain at the back of the skull, and a new voice in the host’s head, whether obvious or ambiguous.

The most curious thing about this group of parasites is their rather developed nervous system and large range of emotional responses. As opposed to many other parasitic organisms, which mostly have rudimentary nervous systems, if any, the somnivores posses a large brain and nerve web that travels throughout the body, giving this genus an incredible amount of behavioral diversity. This, combined with their direct connection to an organism’s central nervous system, gives them the ability to communicate directly with the host and even to control the host’s body while they are sleeping, allowing them to throw off suspicion towards their infection and to communicate with others while in control, although their diet also makes them susceptible to rapid changes in the neural environment, which is often used during removal to neutralize the parasite. Most of the specimens I interacted with were selfish and rather ruthless, displaying little care towards other creatures and seemed predominantly interested in maintaining their survival and concealment within a host, although some were more abrasive than others, and some were more willing to commit violence toward others while some preferred to simply be left alone. In some quite remarkable circumstances however, the host and the parasite were both aware of each other and actively benefitting one another through the host protecting the somnivore and the somnivore taking only the chemicals it requires and helping the host with certain tasks while asleep. When interacting with other somnivores, individuals tend to become aggressive and territorial, and remain as such until the other individual is gone, probably due to competition over hosts and their parasitic nature.
Their reproductive behavior is rather simple. All of the species I observed reproduce asexually through budding when conditions are right. This process starts when what seems to be a new segment in the parent individual before growing into a fully developed organism and separating off of the parent. The new parasite is then forced out of the host by the parent, presumably to avoid competition, and eventually finds a host of its own.
Species
During my stay on that world I discovered at least three unique species within the Somnivora genus, there might have been more, but due to recent circumstances, returning to the planet for further research is impossible, and I doubt it will ever be possible again.
This species is easily distinguishable by its rather unique mouthparts, which rather then being in the form of receptor covered nodes, are a long, proboscis-like growth which allows it to absorb chemicals in a more concentrated form, but also risks damaging the host’s skull if it gets too greedy. This species is the smallest of the genus, usually reaching about 10 cm in length and 15 at maximum. They also seem to be a bit more lenient when it comes to other individuals in their hosts, with groups up to 10 individuals being a common occurrence.
All species of somnivore possess rudimentary eye spots to help them navigate outside a host, but this species seems to nearly lack them entirely. This, along with their much larger and stronger grips, suggests that they developed to stay inside a host form as long as possible. They are most easily distinguishable by the shape of their mouth, which forms a nearly perfect circle, and the lack of growths from their head.
The best way to distinguish these creatures from their relatives is by their more pointed mouth shape and two, fleshy, horn like growths which protrude from their head, the function of which is unknown. They are the largest species, capable of growing up to 50 cm in length, which can make them a bit of a pain, literally.
I was rather glad to have had the chance to encounter such creatures on a world like this, but upon my return trip, I found that the planet had been overtaken by that awful red smoke and those dreadful acolytes of the Prototype. Given their reliance on the functions of the nervous system and their sensitivity to its changes, that every somnivore on that world has died. Which is an incredible tragedy, given their remarkable biology, and while I have encountered several individuals of S. noxiarictus and S. dicornutus on other hosts during my travels, I have never found any individuals of S. defossolingua, which leads me to the conclusion that the species is entirely extinct.

So I decided to make some outfits for my space riders oc! Dream Eater. As you can see they are an aficionado for fashion with quite the tasteful and expansive wardrobe! Please tell me if you can spot the influences from classical sources on these beautiful pictures!
(Also for anyone who wants to know, the stuff coming off of their head isn’t hair. Nobody’s exactly sure what it is, but it is squishy, gross, covered in mucus and DEFINITELY NOT HAIR)

This is a thing I made for the space riders au by @onyxonline with my oc Dream Eater and another oc named Lizzy belonging to @novalizinpeace. I liked the idea of them interacting with a former member and trying to sway them back to the Prototype’s side. Lizzy’s crew should probably show up soon, wouldn’t want anything bad to happen to her.
More doodle of Dream Eater! My space riders oc! Who is surprisingly fun to draw!
I’m gonna take this opportunity to turn this fun couple of shitposts into a lore dump about them and their relationships with other characters, okay? Okay.
So as said in my last few posts about this guy, Dream Eater is a being whose sole motivation is its own survival. Anything else, including the lives and well being of their fellow members, is secondary. Despite this, Dream Eater is still one of the highest ranking members of the cult, being able to communicate directly to the prototype, probably because it lets him keep a close eye on Dream Eater’s behavior, and because their powers not only let them go on covert manipulation missions to make conquering planets easier, but also because it lets them inhabit the bodies of fellow cultists and report directly back to the prototype. It also has the wonderful advantage of making cultists more careful with what they say or do, because who knows if one of your fellow members has a brain sucking monster watching you. Dream eater itself couldn’t care less about the grunts of the cult, viewing them as disposable meat shields or cheap hosts, (they still need to eat after all) but with more powerful members, Dream Eater turns into the biggest ass kisser imaginable, both to lower the risk of being murdered by them, but also because it gives them a powerful ally. After all, the tougher the partner, the longer they can distract the threat.
Their relationship with the space riders is pretty bad on principle, but Catnap holds a special place of loathing in his heart for Dream Eater, as their first encounter being when they were sent on a mission to “gently persuade” (read: gaslight and manipulate) into joining the cult of his own free will. It didn’t work of course, but Catnap has reviled them ever since and Dream Eater themselves isn’t to fond of the either for making him lose some favor with the Prototype for their failure.
(also despite being a MASSIVE coward, Dream Eater isn’t much of a slouch when physically fighting. Those claws aren’t just for show and being able to shove yourself down an enemy’s throat gives you pretty good access to their vital organs)
