Hello world! @mandelmic here!
The rest of social media is evil so i'm returning to tumblr to see if I can have fun on the net again, but also cuz it gives me an opportunity to launch a new sideblog!
Back in high school I had a story called Weird World which was basically just a rip-off of @thechamba's Randomveus - I wanted an excuse to put random character concepts into a world where someone could be anything!
I drew a few characters that lasted into my time on dA like a banana slug themed nurse or an ancient lineage of superheroes powered by a sentient cosmic amoeba... I should bring those back honestly đ€
One character that never made it that far was a person who shared a head with a beast, so their spine came through the bottom of the skull and the animal's came out through the back, I don't have the original sketch anymore but I do have this remake I did a few years ago!
I thought the idea was really appealing, and very fun to draw!! Also I had fallen more and more into the world of adopts - I have no money so I have never and probably will never adopt any characters, but I love how self-indulgent the designs can get!
The characters have no story purpose, I just draw them because it's fun and I like that a lot. It feels good to do self-indulgent art, especially in a time when capitalism DEMANDS to commodify our work.
I started using a colour scheme that my wife @nikiiwi made for one of our older secret projects - honestly because I love it and I wanted them to have a consistently cute palette :3
Here are some more before I start posting them one by one!
These were from before I started using random emoji prompts to spark more insane designs - I love making creative prompts bro đ I be prompting ME bro FUCK AI!!
I don't want this post to get too long so i'll share more later! I love you all!!
