YOUR ART ON TUMBLR IS BEING USED TO TRAIN AI!

The setting that prevents your work being used to train AI models is turned off by default! I had no idea about this until now! Artists, go to your settings, click “visibility”, and turn on this setting! Protect your work!

《Made a visual guide of how to get there, because it's under a weird tab.

Go to your blog (you have to do this for each individual blog) and the visibility tab

It's this last option here

Hate this shit, but turn it off babey》

Posting ocs is so embarrassing. Here's my stupid loser I guess. You can kill me if you want

“I must say you’re looking exceptionally handsome today”

“Careful princess, people hear you saying things like that they’ll think there’s something going on between us”

There was in fact something going on between them.

This took WAY too long to do, but I love how it came out. I did just look up flower bouquets to trace over because by the time I got to the background I just wanted to get it finish. Anyway, I was watching SpadArt on YouTube and I liked the idea of face paint on a royal guard so I’m going to make it apart of my version of Septartian culture that they wear face paint that color matches, usually, the scale color of the royal member they’re charged with. And since flesh colored paint would be weird and not unique to Nebula, Seth does the color of her cheek marks. I’ll touch more on this when I do a master lore dump which is going to be mostly colored sketches cuz again linearting and coloring this took way too long to do. Also do not expect consistency with Seth’s spikes they’re going to change in number and position depending how I want them look in the drawing

Anyway the flower are the King Protea which symbolizes things such as; courage and leadership, resilience and the beauty of diversity and the Himalayan Blue Poppy which symbolizes; purity, spirituality and peace as well as things like creativity and dreams (since Nebula’s revolves around dreams and the subconscious workings of the mind) plus poppy’s are used to make drugs like morphine which ties into her ability to make people feel more at ease or relaxed when she’s around. Again this is more stuff I’ll go into in the master lore post.

Idk, I just think that the situation with Eclipsa and Globgor and the baby swap is kind of a genuinely complicated and nuanced situation, where Eclipsa, her partner and her child were horribly and unfairly screwed over because of the bigotry inherent to the world they lived in, but also all three of them are kind of just horrible people who are massively racist in their own right, and yes, that includes Globgor.

Like, it's not supposed to count because this show has made the deeply unwise choice of demonizing an entire species, but Globgor clearly just freaking hates septarians.

And yeah, this is a symptom of the honestly weirdly centrist/right wing perspectives this show has, where of course racism is wrong, but so is trying to resist racism in any way except like. Trying to talk it out, I guess.*

The show just... Needs to both sides the issue by having a faction of evil monsters, that want to destroy magic and kill all the mewmens or... Something, and honestly, I doubt this was deliberate, the sense I get about Seth and the septarians as a faction is that they exist to tell us what Toffee's goals are without directly telling us, and that the implications of making one species just actually bad were never considered.

I guess that what I'm getting at is... Eclipsa and Globgor kind if represent the edges of acceptable resistance in Star vs. They are overly concerned with the feelings of racist mewmans, with finding a way to reach across the aisle, and that isn't bad, not always- but it's the only way forward that the show will treat as legitimate. It doesn't have an answer for if those across the aisle have sealed their ears with wax, have decided before the conversation starts that your tongue will spout only lies, if they have all the power in the world and you have nothing, if they well and truly want you dead, and the only way to stop them is to kill them. If you are in that situation, and you act in the only way you can to protect yourself, to protect your loved ones? Well...

This is what the show thinks of you. *And it's not just that- it also appears in the show's arguments against magic and the monarchy, where these things are bad not because they help to uphold a status que that is cruel and broken, but because it makes people lazy and dependent. There's probably a lot to discuss there, actually, the idea that making people's lives easier is bad not because its built in the backs of an underclass who's suffering makes it possible, but intrinsically.

Just wanted to let everyone know that I am still alive and active, I just been working on one big project. Anyway I had this sketch of @gxthicbat character Harmony in’s the svtfoe style and I decided that it would be a good piece to do a clean sketch and color of to post here. I’m not really loving how this turned out and I do plan on doing a better version later (also I had to lighten the colors of her eyes, hair, and roses) but hopefully she’ll still enjoy this.

Here's my take on the Septarians' fashion.

The canon jeans-and-tank-tops look for the Septarians always felt off to me. Why does such an ancient, proud, non-hybrid race have zero visual culture?

My headcanon fix: the jeans are their "present-day" survival gear. It's a visual cue that their glory days are over, their state is gone, and they're just wearing whatever they can find.

So I asked myself: what did they look like before the fall? In my headcanon, there's an earlier chapter — when they still had a cohesive culture, a proper army, a hierarchy.

Presenting a fragment of that lost time:

Toffee in a ceremonial look. This moment is from the end of an era: Seth's funeral. The grand state was already a memory. All that remained was a nomadic war-camp, the last bastion of a fading order.

Rasticore, his right hand and one of the best warriors in the ranks. I kept hints of his original, more modern design but reforged it to fit this older, more intentional aesthetic.

These are just my first concepts of their "historical" style. I want to develop a coherent, recognizable look that echoes what they once were.

Anyway, I'm deep in this hyperfixation. Consider this account my attempt to piece their culture back together from the ground up. 🔨🦎

Ah, grumpy faces…

[butchdogs-md]

you need to understand that i have two sets of headcanons. there's the set of realistic headcanons based on my genuine reading of the show, and then there's me playing pretend with my dolls.

This is why I have like 10 different ways I want to tell my Seth story and I can’t stick to one.

I did not meant to put as much effort into this as I did, it was just supposed to be half-assed lineart with base colors. Will I ever go back and fix the lineart or anatomy? No. But I love how this came out regardless so I’m posting it

[honeydewdlesart]

So I was inspired by @gxthicbat to finally work up the courage to make an account and post my art here.

I’m a big fan of svtfoe and I was super excited about the character Seth and to learn more about him only to find out not only was he not the final boss of the series but that he died “long before the show started” (which doesn’t make sense because he was around when Star’s grandma was alive so he could have only died like 30 years before the show started at most but I digress). So i decided that if they weren’t going to do anything with him i would.

So I made Nebula aka Nebby (name may change) a princess of Mewni who exists around 700 years before Star. A brief summary of the star is Seth and her fall in love, they were set to be the next king and queen but Nebby’s twin brother Nova (this name might also change) thought that he was better fit to rule Mewni so he kills their mother, blames it on Seth/Septarians, brands Nebula a traitor for standing by her husband and executes her making him the only Butterfly left to rule.

I wanted to make a story showing how Seth got to be the way he is by the time Comet was queen and explore ideas like “how much does it take to break an inherently good person” and “is the Butterfly family villainizing someone who has lived hundreds of years and had watch countless friends and family die trying to get their land a culture back”

So I’m posting this sketch of them as teenagers sparing just to force myself to put my work out there, get this story going and having to stick to decision about the character and story that I would otherwise constantly change.
