doing artfight this year! i don't have a plan this time around just drawing whatever blorbos look cool :D

[paradise-and-cola]

Some of my Artfight guys! I have a big roster planned for this year, not sure if I'll be able to post all of them in time for the big event but here's hoping!

[paradise-and-cola]

[Image description: a sketchy drawing of Etho as a bug-like six-limbed alien creature. Etho has teal skin, except for the right side of his face and his upper left arm, which have orange skin. He's wearing a breathing mask, a headband, a shirt with a carapace design on it, a skirt-like cloth over his hips, and shoes. One of his eyes is red with no iris. He also has green antennae protruding from his head. End description]

Didn't get to do a proper Etho drawing for the final day of the challenge, so here's an alien!Etho design I doodled earlier in the month. Etho's season 9 base was not grand but very cool nonetheless, and I'm glad he rebuilt some of it in season 10.

Was Etho always an alien, or did he perhaps get abducted and his DNA altered? Can he speak the Hermitcraft common language, or does he have to use a translator, or speak Galactic, or some form of sign language? What's with the eye and hand? So many possibilties :D

[Image description: a digital drawing of Doc, who has a bug-like head with large eyes and mandicles, but also a goat snout and two goat horns. One arm and one side of Doc's face is robotic, including a red bug-like eye. There are purple and pink butterfly wings visible behind him. End description]

Fandom often draws the various Hermits as furries or hybrids, and Doc is very fun to design in this regard because he just keeps acquiring lore. He's a creeper, he's a cyborg because he was blown up by Dinnerbone, he's a goat, he's a butterfly... what a guy!

[Image description: a digital drawing of Skizzleman and Mumbo on a beach. Skizz is rushing towards Mumbo, holding a wooden sword with both hands, his large white wings stretched behind him. Mumbo, with Wednesday Addams-inspired hair and dress, is standing in the foreground, looking at Skizz with horror. End description]

Gem's head farming beach is one of the best things that has happened this season, the wooden sword fights are equal parts silly and entertaining :D

[Image description: a digital drawing of BigB in his regular blue jacket and an orange tie. He is looking at the camera is smiling. There is a halo of sorts behind Bigb's head, made out of purple, blue and orange brush strokes. End description]

BigB is always a delight to see in the Life series :D His Wild Life creaking lore especially was very cool (and inspired so much awesome fanart!). I wonder what he's gonna do for the next installment!

[Image description: a digital drawing of Welsknight holding a bouquet of wild flowers. He is wearing a knight's helmet, which obstructs most of his face, a chainmail coif and a brown shirt. End description]

So glad Welsknight is back to making Hermitcraft content! His videos are so relaxing and comfortable, it's like returning home. The flowers were inspired by his latest episode, where he added a garden to his lovely castle.

[Image description: a digital drawing of Zedaph in his game show host suit. He is holding a microphone in one hand and pointing upwards with the other. The background is stylized after a game show set. End description]

Is it looking at me? Or, perhaps... the sheep has been here the whole time!

[paradise-and-cola]

[Image description: a digital drawing of Vintage Beef, holding some playing cards in a dramatic pose. He's wearing a farmer's hat, a dark green shirt and a blue apron with a stylized sun on it. He has a serious expression on his face. End description]

yes i literally googled 'yugioh pose' for this

[Image description: a digital drawing of Joe Hills in Juppet form, smiling and waving at the viewer. There is a cartoony rainbow strip behind Joe, as well as a blue sky with a few clouds. End description]

Joe Hills of Nashville, Tennessee fame is an integral part of Hermitcraft and a source of unlimited joy and creativity. The Joe Hills difference is addicting <3

Speedrunning Hermitaday now because I'm terribly behind. Here is our beloved 2x1 tunnel dweller <3

[paradise-and-cola]

[Image description: a digital painting of Keralis exiting a Nether portal in a forest biome. End description]

The first time Keralis appeared on my radar is when he returned to the server in season 6 through Doc's space-time travel shenanigans. Man, Area 77 really was something else!

[Image description: a digital painting of Xisuma in his Doomslayer skin, pointing at a landscape painting on a wall behind him. End description]

A bit meta today with the picture gallery :D I love that the Hermits are finding ways to celebrate fandom and fanart in particular in their videos; Doc of course showcases a new piece of fanart every week, and Xisuma started the fanart gallery this season which I think was a brilliant idea!

[paradise-and-cola]

[Image description: a digital drawing of XBCrafted from the waist up, holding a stylized trident and looking at the camera with determination. XB has mostly human features, save for his big cyan and orange ears. The background is light blue with simple ornaments evocative of an ocean temple, and there is a bubble overlay over the whole image, adding to the effect of being underwater. End description]

I have to give credit to xB for sticking to the ocean temple theme for so many years. It doesn't get old, either; just look at all the hermits having fun at the trident arena over the last few weeks!

[Image description: a profile headshot of Zombie Cleo, with their hair flowing in the wind. Cleo has a determined expression on their face. The background is brown with multicolored wavy strokes on it. End description]

This one is loosely inspired by the blockade run. Cleo is an unstoppable force! :D

There are many beautiful buildings and structures I could do for this day, but I decided to do... the Perimeter. Yeah. Trust me guys, it's the Perimeter. Always has been.

Wanted to do something simpler for today and ended up with something weirder :D Love the Ren-diggity-dawg!
