Yippe yipee they released it! A whole showcase of awesome fanart for Darkest Dungeon’s 10th anniversary! Such a treat seeing and recognising artworks of fellow mutuals and DD artists! ✨✨✨✨

And I don’t wanna gush too much but I was featured as the second artwork at the beginning! At about 0:20! I keep saying it but I’m sincerely proud of this 🥹

(gonna keep this close to my heart in a nostalgia album for when I’m much older)

Very much looking forward to drawing more for this community! Not just in hopes for another showcase but also to just spread more joy!!

Link to said fanart 👀✨

#blu babbles #darkest dungeon #red hook studios #funny story #I actually didn’t catch mine in the first watch but the Ancestor whispered to me and on the second watch #THERE IT WAS 😭✨

I may be actually exhausted from this week of assignments alone (there is m u c h more to come till the end of August huhuu) b u t

I can feel DD starting to crawl back into my mind and I missed drawing my freaks

#blu babbles #darkest dungeon #whenever I have a sliver of free time #maybe 🤡#I wanna get back to drawing DD so much #not to mention the uhhh- *glances at my WIPs gnawing at the bars of their enclosure #yeah-

Greetings, knightcore side of Tumblr ⚜️

May I introduce my medieval bois so that they may join the party👉🏼👈🏼

Quick intro- the first two pieces are my newest OC, Orvyn

I wanted to try my hand at creating a presentable OC for my portfolio but still indulged in the medieval fantasy aspect because ✨if its an opportunity I see-✨

The next two are Edmund (resident gentle giant) and Cowan (my little shit /affectionate)

Edmund was created for my second semester in character design while Cowan has a special spot in my heart for being the first character I created for a college assignment

I do have proper turnarounds and more art for those two but I wanna do one for Orvyn too so the party’s all complete 😭

#blu art #knightcore #knightposting #knight posting #oc : orvyn #oc : edmund #oc : cowan #I’m ngl I was so scared to post these cause the last time I posted OCs were in 2019 🤡#but I took a leap of faith and posted these cause they do not deserve to gather dust in my folder #yes these are still WIPs btw-#except for the first #please yap with me-

I think I have enough medieval fantasy OCs to join the knight side of Tumblr-

Still really shy but I’ve been focusing on said OCs than fanart these days and wowie it feels pretty freeing to just- do whatever you want with characters that you’ve made

#blu babbles #hi I have been obsessed with medieval stuff for a long long time but only got to explore more of that for myself when I entered art school #I’ve already made two medieval OCs for past projects so I took a leap of faith and made a third to add to my portfolio :)#and to also get up to shenanigans with fellow enthusiasts #it looks so fun and everyone’s knight/jester/monarch OC are so Scrumptious 🤌🏼✨✨✨#knightcore #jestercore #I’m not sure- what else to tag for this aesthetic :’D #also I’m trying so hard to find time in between assignments to work on these personal OCs so they can actually look #presentable enough to be in my portfolio before the end of this sem which is the end of August 😭

Dear god this sem is actually making me wake up at 5 am just to continue assignments from the night before (1 am 🤡)

I’m getting mixed signals- at least it’s helping my body to get its internal clock working again 😭 (in a way)

*exhaleeee

We’re about to enter some CHOPPY territory here 🤡💀

#self reblogg #blu babbles #this next assignment in my fav subject requires us to design #one vehicle in the genre we chose but 8 designs and the same thing for props #so 16 sketches #ah it’s good to be an art student eh?#(machines or vehicles are NOT my strong suit if you can’t tell)

#blu babbles #also I just learned that art schools are the only colleges (?) that have assignments everyday #the sigh I soghed #well I’m still having fun but I’m hanging on by a thread #maybe three threads but eh #also I swerved off my main hyperfixation (Frankenstein) for a bit and now uh #*jester music plays #you’ll see when I do post it LMAO

✨Making my own creature for one of my projects this sem✨

Proposed it to my lect and he said it was cool and I can go ahead with it but omgg I’m so scared- what if I did the creature wrong 😭

macabreblublu

8 design sketches done and its critique day today… pray for mine soul, I have a 50/50 feeling for the outcome 🤡👍🏼

Edit: HE VIBED WITH ALL OF EM YIPEEEEEEE

(He chose variant 5 out of the 8 and the best part is even I chose the same thing 🤯)

#self reblogg #blu babbles #I’m half expecting my lect to ask me to draw more designs #if he doesn’t then I’ll be very surprised #but in a pleasant way #god my heart is thumping out of me chest 🤡

How to help an artist:

Ditch the like button

No, seriously. If you don’t have money to help out an artist financially, the second best thing is to reblog all the things you like. While liking it does tell the artist that “hey I really like this!” It does jack shit because the only ones who will see that are me and you.

Why do you think there are so SO many posts made by people that are literally summed down to “please reblog my artwork I need the notes!”? Because no one reblogs artwork. Unless you’re a ridiculously popular blog with thousands of followers, you’ll only end up getting 1 or no reblogs.

SO HELP OUT ARTISTS AND PLEASE REBLOG OUR ART, BECAUSE WE REALLY NEED THE VIEWS ;V;)/

marconelor

Friendly reminder. Reblog it if u dig it :)

marsupials-of-mars

I’ve banned myself from liking any post (at least fics and art) it forces you to decide. If you want to let the creator know you like it at ALL, it deserves a reblog. If you think “I like this but idk if it’s all the way to reblog, but I dont want to ignore it fully!” You reblog. If its worthy of anything, its worthy of a reblog. ESPECIALLY if you read through a full fic? I dont get people who read a full fic and get invested in a world then go “guess it was aight” and like or ignore it. If it kept your attention throughout it deserves a MF reblog! I’ve had people go through my entire multipart fics and just like each one! That’s not how tumblr works!

#reblogg #random thingz

Devastating discovery as I was trying to revisit some old DD fics in my reading list and the series and author was just- gone🫠

Idk if y’all know em but I remember the author’s name (AFleetingPresence) and their series was of the Jester/Leper ship called “A Bridge Built” if I’m not mistaken

Please, I gotta know what happened 😭 it’s so good, I regret not downloading it when that AO3 panic happened

I completely understand if it was due to life or just their personal choices but man my heart Dropped when it said it no longer existed

#blu babbles #darkest dungeon #jester/leper #I sound like a mad person banging pots in the village but if any of you do remember reading that series #please tell me I’m not the only one 😭🙏🏼#I’m gonna take a nap cause I just came back from class #it’s only the first week of my third year and I’m already #exhausted 👍🏼#I used to read that series back to back anytime I got sad after classes #I may be heavily occupied with Frankenstein but I will always cherish Sarms and Baldwin

Drifter animatic after I did my first for Doorman

Have at it-

#blu art #deadlock #deadlock drifter #drifter deadlock #vid #I’m not so proud of this one as much as my doorman animatic but it was still very fun to figure things out #have I mentioned I immediately made this after finishing Doorman’s-

When the Deadlock brainrot was so strong I made two animatics (with Basic knowledge of animation)

Drifter was up next :]

#blu art #deadlock #deadlock doorman #doorman deadlock #vid #this is how I’m finding out that Tumblr doesn’t let you put up two vids in one post

✨Making my own creature for one of my projects this sem✨

Proposed it to my lect and he said it was cool and I can go ahead with it but omgg I’m so scared- what if I did the creature wrong 😭

#blu babbles #frankenstein #frankenstein’s creature #the gist of the storyline is basically just the creature creating his own happy ending #its vaguely after the 2025 film (I’m still not okay) but it can also be after the 1818 book (I have not read it)#pls be kind when I do post the design😭🙏🏼#I’m still a new Frankenstein fan and I wanna make sure I get my bases right and able to create something enjoyable out of it #I j u m p e d at the opportunity when my new lect said we can do pretty much anything for this project #OCs are highly encouraged but I didn’t have anything else in my mind #I just wanted to add Frankenstein in my assignments so it’ll be more enjoyable 😅#oh and he gets a chimera animal friend cause that is required for the character lineup :D

Some Sarmenti head sketches/studies cause I wanna do this Gorgeous man justice

#darkest dungeon #darkest dungeon 2 #dd jester #dd sarmenti #blu art #this was done in March 🤡#I headcanon him to have tattoos/scars of the lil diamonds under the eyes of his mask #as well as unusually light brown eyes that look red when he goes apeshit #idk #the magic in the Hamlet allows it so LMFAO

Here we are :)

This is what decent WIPs of mine look like, uhhh enjoy :’D

#darkest dungeon #blu art #blu WIPs #??#dd abomination #dd flagellant #dd jester #first Bigby and the two jesters were made in Dec of 2025 #and then the soft Bigby and the freaky Damian were done in Feb this year or somewhere there 😭😭

I come bearing crumbs from my grueling assignments

Featuring Baldwin and Damian as B&W splash art thumbnails :> (yes, thumbnails)

I will return ✨✨✨✨

macabreblublu

Yeah this was an eternity ago and this final project went up in flames (we all ended up painting a copy of an official splash art illustration as our final AS PER OUR LECT-) but I am proud of the colour thumbnails I did when Damian got chosen so I’ll put it here :)

#self reblogg #darkest dungeon #dd damian #dd flagellant #I was still #very much not confident when applying the colours but I wanted to step out of my comfort zone #and then I get absolutely trashed by my lect like OKAY SIR-#anyways #top and bottom right are my fav :)

Hrmmm.. Will post some Old DD wips because they deserve to see the light of day but I currently can’t cause I CANT connect to my college wifi or my own hotspot

W h y you gotta do this to me…

Edit: FINALLY CONNECTED AFTER TWO YEARS

#blu babbles #darkest dungeon #they’re so old #I put a lot of thought into them at the time but now I just wanna #*vomits rainbows #sketch dump

Entering my third year of art school next week… ya boi here has gotta buckle up and put on their big boy pants and Lock In

But I wanna finish what I can of my personal projects before I dive into my new semester

#blu babbles #that was a fun five-ish week break #it was longer because every third semester of each year is 3 weeks shorter #but now… I better hold on to what happiness and sanity I find through the year 🤡#wish me luck!!
