QnA:
Who am I? You can just call me Gangly (he/him). I’m an artist primarily interested in macabre and video game media.
What do I make? As is typical for Tumbler I make a variety of fanarts and OCs. I also want to get more into the writing and AU side of things in the near future.
What are your interests? My main CURRENT interests include Little Nightmares (mainly specific characters or media, like the Kins from LN3 or The Lonely Ones book), Cult of the Lamb (mainly due to alligator-blood and bialejaja’s AUs, which have inspired me to want to make my own), and my own OCs (who I’ve posted about before on this blog, just not nearly enough).
What programs do you use? Clip Studio Paint, plus some free browser editors for editing. I also do traditional arts with pen and pencil from time to time.
I'm just gonna make this a post so I don't have to DM ten different people the same information- I shipped your packages out on the 5th using USPS ground advantage, but the people I gave tracking numbers to reported the numbers not working?? Been trying to figure it out so I don't disappoint people with bogus numbers but idfk what happened
I can see it on my end when I'm logged into the USPS website but I can't when I'm logged out, I don't know if I selected a wrong option during payment but I'm apparently the only one that can see the shipping updates. The packages should be arriving on monday, a lot of them are in their destination states already. If anyone knows what I did wrong please tell me :')))
If you ordered something from me and want a tracking update, plz DM me + include the state the package is being sent to, and I'll show you the screenshot of what I see on my end!! I'm not planning on putting anything else up for sale until I make sure this batch arrives safely...I did take a photo before taping up the boxes because they took up my whole bed and I thought it was funny (buyer usernames blacked out just in case idk)
but once that's figured out....I have not forgotten about narinder, I found this awesome super-soft super expensive black faux fur on clearance, so I've made my BIGGEST guy yet from it along with a shit ton of little guys. They photograph terribly because of my shit lighting but here check them out before I finish up their clothes:
the biggest one is the size of a small child, haven't measured him yet but he's HUGE
uuugghhh my ride to the post office didn't work out so I'm just gonna post more art. okay this is the aforementioned unfinished vent art compilation I said I'd make its own post for. obviously it is ALL SHAMURA because who else would it be. I guess kallamar appeared more often in my last comics but shamura will always be my top dawg
^I did this one foreverrrrr ago, but I never felt like adding extra props to thescene and gave up and never posted it. it's like as soon as I can't fit more shamuras in a drawing I lose all steam. I'm less crazy about them now than I was back then, but I do wish I finished this one proper or at least remembered why it was I even drew it? I still like the concept
^I may have already posted this?? idk I just thought it was funny. suffer, you stupid idiot spider, you shall bear the cross of my mental illness
^I made a drawing forever ago of follower shamura up on a hill writing poetry, and there's these giant eyes in negative colors overlayed on top of the picture? If anyone remembers that? I get those over my vision sometimes, like my eyes are staring back at me from a negative polaroid or something, and I realized it kinda looked like an MRI scan so I went and drew this. That's maybe the visual hallucination I've had the longest? Mine are oddly specific things like breathing wet walls and ceilings, sparkles drifting through the air, bugs flying around and animals running behind corners/paws coming up from the crack under the door
^this one was going to be a sick painting but alas. I accidentally covered up the sketch on the canvas with paint that was too liquidy and rubbed off ALL the graphite that made up the sketch. so no painting of shamura melting in their coffin. I noticed I do a lot of art of their face being fucked up, and that makes total sense to me because their skull being cracked is kind of a major part of their character, but I wonder if there's some other unconscious reason I always, always resort to that.
^I left the sketch layer on this one intact but you still can't really see what's going on, their eyes were connected to the eyes of these other shamuras that split off from the main one? I have another similar one to that concept I did longer ago:
^the background of this one is my brain scans from when I was a teenager and had just had a head injury. I haven't gotten another scan since and frankly uhhh I don't wanna know what they look like now. I've scribbled over a lot of medical/government paperwork in the past, there's a copy of my disability benefit application being denied with my old OC beheading herself on it LMAO
I'm kind of embarrassed about how bad things have gotten just in general with my mental health, I spent the last year of my life trapped in a state of delusional parasitosis that I only just got over a couple weeks ago. I don't come on here much these days because I have false memories of people doing things to me or I find thingsI don't remember making. I know on a logical level it's untrue but I had to stop checking my dash/fandom posts because I felt like a bunch of them were about me, and I cannot in good conscience open asks back up because they got very bad and I wasn't well enough to be subjected to that. Haven't even checked my asks in a couple months, and it was very very hard opening my DMs to sell the plushies. I don't remember what was real and what wasn't, and it hurts too much to go through those old messages so I guess I won't know.
I've said it before, but I am seeking professional help currently and am being medicated + having my case reviewed to get me on disability benefits and housing. I'm doing my absolute best to stay on top of this shit but it does mean I need to be very, very careful about the time I spend online/interacting with people when my brain is injecting me with false memories and delusions that the people who have been kind to me are actually all a big group formed solely to make me think anybody likes me, but are exploiting me in secret. On sunday, I woke up and was CONVINCED a random follower of mine had leaked my deadname, I knew exactly who it was and swore I read the fucking post, but the next time I went looking for it there was nothing I remembered. When you have schizophrenia, shit like that *was* reality for you, you fucking saw it with your own eyes, or your brain retains that memory. It feels hazy, like a dream, but real memories feel like that too most of the time. I'm lucid enough to be able to tell hallucinations from reality the majority of the time but it's been getting harder and harder these days, I'm starting to think I had symptoms like this before and I just literally didn't comprehend it wasn't real.
Not sure what this hasto do with shamura. In my heart of hearts they are a schizophrenic queen. Their brain is fucked up and my brain is fucked up but we're both just doing our best, forgetting shit constantly and trying to decide if a memory was real or if it was just a dream. cotl isn't my hyperfixation anymore but I do love me some mura brain-hurting-angst
FINALLY rounded up all the recent plush orders!! For all future plushies, I'm just gonna be putting up ko-fi listings because although they take a bigger cut than paypal, a lot of people don't have paypal anyway and it was actually SO SO hard to keep track of everything via tumblr dms which infamously Don't Work. I have a head injury and would eventually screw up some orders if I kept doing it the way I was doing it, my memory and object permanence aren't so great, but that's what these first batches are for! To learn what works and doesn't work. I added a bunch more freebies because I found my old craft fair trinket box, and I don't plan on doing any craft fairs anytime soon
in any case, I haven't drawn in forever but I haven't posted any drawings in an even longer time. So here's some unfinished stuff:
^one layer quick shamura doodle thing, because they have mantid arms and mantids have the CUTEST threat postures in the bug world
^more shamura art from when I was rotating them in my mind at mach speed, the first one is supposed to be if they were a tarantula
^I have no words for this one except "I'm sorry"
^these are the sticker designs I send out with the plushies, they're black and white because my actual GOOD printer broke so I had to buy a label printer last-minute, but it can't do color. I plan on getting colored label stickers eventually though because I'm not a huge fan of the black and white look
^chibi follower kallamar turnaround thing, was meant to be made into a flat felt plush but I proceeded to accidentally throw nearly all the pieces away and ragequit when I realized what I did days later
aaandddd a couple unfinished panels of this one comic I really really want to finish and post someday, where the bishops + the lamb all draw themselves: v
I also have some unfinished shamura psychosis art but that's for another post. I also-also have fanart for a DIFFERENT eldritch horror-themed devolver digital indie game, as well as a cosplay.......you'll see. If you know, you know.
^the recipients of the ultrakill machine mass attack can be found on its dedicated post
wow! 8 attacks and a nice clean 50% attack ratio! this was my first year fully participating and it was a lot of fun meeting new people and making art for my friends and mutuals, plus i received a load of REALLY COOL ART! so much win.
Sorry for being absent the last week guys, I was taking my yearly trip to the beach 2-3 hours away and I guess just forgot to mention it??? Sorry for suddenly going dark like that-
But uuuuhhhhh yeah, while I was down there I realized our hotel was right next to an arts pavilion doing a weekly painting session that I was able to attend, and since the whole thing reminded me of a similar event they had mentioned in the past, I did this painting of @alllgator-blood 's Shamura, based heavily on the "comfort character gore core" series of paintings they've shown on their blog!
Tbh I'm not 100% proud of how it turned out since we only had about 90 minutes to make our paintings and I was the LAST person to show up, plus these were being done with acrylics (which I personally find to be way too sloppy and difficult for my liking). So the whole time I was just in a panic scrolling through the refs on my phone, running around grabbing paints, and slathering the layers on top of each other while just going "FUCKFUCKFUCKFUCKFUCKFUCK" to myself the whole time until I ended up being the last person in the building period. So uh, yeah, just ignore the mistakes like the lack of crown eye or the asymmetrical teeth + eye parts. I'm sure you'll enjoy it though Riv!
ALTS + OTHER STUFF BELOW THE CUT-
Sunrise pics:
Darkroom + Nighttime/Stormy Pics:
Also this rushed little sketchbook comic I did of Blood's Kallamar and Lamb (of which I had no saved refs for Lamb on my phone, SO just ignore the horribly off-model, drawn-from-memory Lamb I did):
In terms of other stuff I did down there, aside from the beach I also went to an aquarium a few blocks from the hotel and got pictures of these beautiful creatures I hope everyone will like (especially River), and also Heket's ass-
(Fun fact, the gators in the first pictures were apparently rescues from someone's basement-)
And yeah, this was pretty much all the stuff I considered the highlights of my trip (or at least stuff I was able to get pictures of), so to end off I'll share a meme I made based on this hotel sign I saw that made me laugh-
I hope everyone else had wonderful vacations, whether it's beach-related or otherwise!
Now for the 3rd and final part of the Artfight pieces, these ones will be more random and personal OCs unlike the last two posts!
"More like Crinkled-Tissue Paw lmao" was done for RavioliComics and features their Warrior Cat OC Birch Paw as well as their other humanoid OC Maidren! As soon as I saw this ferocious creature I just had to draw it as a tribute to the infamous crinkled tissue kitten image lmao! Despite it's shitpost nature I'm glad they enjoyed it!
"The Funny Cow and Elephant Too!" was done for Charmy_Chippy and features both his cow OC Kavita and Elephant OC Motu! I wanted to make Kavita look a little more realistic in my style, which is why I tried rendering the textures on her fur etc!
"Steampunk Cowboy Portrait" was done for morushroom and features their steampunk coboy character Renato! I really liked this design, so I had hoped to adapt it in a sort of monochrome portrait style! Admittedly I don't think it's the best and the proportions seem a little off, but I was a little strapped for time and didn’t really get a chance to fix it.
"Silly Alien Chick!" was done for @samanitamusc-art-ia and features their alien character Jane! Naturally given the horror-themed design I just had to make a rendition of it!
(Also it took me until ALL the lining was done to realize the bulges on the side of her head were part of the hoodie and not like, weird fin-appendages or something. So those are a little out of proportion, but I don’t think it ruins the piece!)
AAAAAAAnd finally the last piece I have to show was done for @skelleste but NOT actually posted, since I realized after it was finished that it would probably break the site's rules regarding low-effort/shitposty content. So I decided not to risk it and put it up on my other socials instead, including this one!
For those that don't know this is basically just supposed to be a shitty meme replicating those terrible AI KreekCraft videos of him telling gubbies to do their chores and them ripping them in half like a goddamn vultrimite (look up "kreekcraft did you do your chores" to see what I mean). rest in piss sticky lmao
And yeah, that's pretty much all the Artfight stuff I did this year! Admittedly it's WAY less than I thought I would do (thanks in no small part to my wifi being fucky all month), but I suppose I can look at this as a learning experience and figure out how to streamline/prioritize whatever art I make for next year! Thanks everyone for reading!
Part 2 of3 of showing off this year's Artfight attacks! These ones will be COTL focused!
"Fly and Fish-ing" was done for @marshadellow and features their *stylops* cotl oc Autolycus! It seems my character Manerfish has become curious about his fly friend's little headwear trinket! Surely though there is of course no cause for alarm here, after all it would be hard for him to steal such a thing from a career thief who's already both stolen it themselves and lived to tell the tale...
...So why even act interested in something he can't have himself? ...Oh well, who cares!
"The Psycho Lamb and Sadist Owl" was done for @bialejaja and features their version of both Lamb (Lyon), Kallamar and Leshy as well as my owl character Ulbricht! (Who I actually don't think I've shown off before??? Well I suppose this is as good an introduction as any.)
Basically this is just a *funny* idea of what I imagine would happen if these two insane malefactors/heads of their respective "communities" met for a casual conversation about the best torture methods for keeping their subordinates in check. Kall and Leshy seem to both be enjoying the results as well as you can see…
(Bonus transcript of the German in the second panel: "HÖRT MIR JETZT GUT ZU, IHR FAULEN SÄCKE! BEWEGT EURE HINTERN HOCH UND GEHT WIEDER AN DIE ARBEIT! DU! TINTENFISCH! ICH ERWARTE, DASS DEIN ARBEITSPLATZ BIS SONNENUNTERGANG AUFGERÄUMT UND BLITZSAUBER IST – SONST HACKE ICH DIR DIE ARME AB UND SERVIERE SIE DIR ALS TINTENFISCHRINGE! DU! ROSENKOHL! ICH ERWARTE, DASS DEINE NÄCHSTE PORTION GEBRATENER STIEFEL MIT PANIERMEHL UND GEWÜRZEN GARNIERT IST – SONST LANDEST DU SELBST ALS ABENDESSEN AUF DEM TELLER, WIE EINE METT-TORTE FÜR DIE VÖGEL! LOS! LOS! JETZT! SOFORT!")
"Cockblocked, or...Owlblocked?" was done for @whysoblue2 and features her own version of Kallamar as well as Saleos, plus Ulbricht once again! Clearly he is not a fan of Kallamars in general, he's already tracked down a second one! It makes sense of course that he'd be drawn to them given they all seem to be naturally cowardly and inept, though I feel like in this case he may also dislike one who is especially... *close* with his spouses as you can see. Oh well, the worst he could probably do is yell at them...right?
(pssst, the first part is based on that one spongebob scene btw. Also here is the transcript of the spoken german since I unfortunately compressed it to hell trying to make it fit):
"VERDAMMT NOCH MAL, IHR SCHWANZLUTSCHENDEN MISTKERLE, HÖRT AUF ZU SABBERN UND PASST GEFÄLLIGST AUF!!! Habt ihr Idioten überhaupt eine Ahnung, was ich allein auf dem Weg hierher schon gesehen habe?! Die Hälfte eurer Anhänger stirbt entweder an der wässrigen Scheißkrankheit oder hat schwere Verbrennungen durch die unzähligen Quallenplagen hier in der Gegend! Das heißt – bei allem Respekt –, dass die HÄLFTE EURER EIGENEN DIENER ARBEITSUNFÄHIG IST, IHR IDIOTEN!!! Ich würde erwarten, dass ein selbsternannter Gott solche Ineffizienz von selbst beheben kann, doch alles, was ich hier sehe, ist eine traurige Ausrede eines Turteltauben, der seinem Ehepartner widerliche sexuelle Avancen macht, anstatt seine Pflichten zu erfüllen! Ich muss euch beide wohl daran erinnern, dass ihr KEIN VERLIEBTES PÄRCHEN AUF HOCHZEITSREISE SEID, IHR VOLLIDIOTEN – ihr seid dafür verantwortlich, einen Kult zu leiten, und man erwartet von euch, dass ihr euch auch so verhaltet! Also frage ich: Wenn ich das nächste Mal mit euch beiden spreche – werde ich euch dafür loben, dass ihr eure Anhänger ohne Komplikationen direkt ins Grab geschuftet habt, oder werde ich fragen, wie ihr gedenkt, die ganzen wurmzerfressenen Leichen zu verscharren?! Denn nur in der einen Option sehe ich eine vielversprechende Zukunft, und die andere Option besteht darin, euch beide Vollidioten in Stücke zu reißen, weil ihr unsere Zeit verschwendet!!! VERSTEHST DU?!?!
(Ihr anzüglicher Wurstvergleich ist sowieso völlig absurd, jeder könnte Ihnen sagen, dass deutsche Wurst aufgrund ihrer Länge und ihres Geschmacks viel mehr geschätzt wird als so manche schreckliche italienische Wurst…)
Part 3 is coming next, so don't click away just yet!
