this might be my favourite piece ive made in a while

I thumbnailed a bunch of concepts for my ocs story & world and im so excited to draw them all!!!!!

I've decided to call the world anemoia. It was either hyraeth or anemoia, they both mean similar things (a sad nostalgic feeling) which is really fitting for a universe where the gods are walking 2000s aesthetics. I ended up leaning into nostalgia pretty hard with the theming and metaphors too.

And the story behind the creation of the world itself was that it came from wyrm and her desires to return to a simpler time. She just kinda threw a bunch of stuff together and it became what it is now!

The world is a sort of collab project between all the gods so there will be different parts that have different vibes, but this is what I imagine the central area as constructed by wyrm.

i also caught the animatic bug again and now have a full length animation i need to get out of my brain.. someday soon maybe

the timelapse is a little fucked because i tried using clip studios timelapse feature halfway through, and im a freak who works on a massive 600dpi canvas but only in the corner. sorry it looks so bad lol. ill stick with obs from now on

Art dump for my oc Reese! She's one of the many eidolons (gods) in my project, and a best friend to wyrm!

The gods in my story are meant to be reflections of artists & creative people in our world, breathing life into their universe in the same way a team of artists would for their work!

Wyrm is the ultimate creator of their universe, and focuses on worldbuilding, lore, etc, kinda like an art director. The other gods have more niche purposes. Reese is into sculpting, tabletop & dnd and she's responsible for the creation of a race of clay golems. She has a workshop in a huge gothic castle where she sculps them out of clay! Avery is a performer who created a whole magic system for the world, and frequently overworks himself to keep it running all by himself (i'll talk more about him in another post)

Reese is like the peacekeeper of the eidolons as well. They are the one planning the monthly meetings, checking up with others and trying to make sure everyone gets along. Super friendly, but not a pushover. Just very empathetic, caring and sometimes overbearing.

She is always the one to quietly & intently listen when wyrm goes off on a rant about her ideas lol.

i've had this one sitting unfinished for like a month.. decided to post it since ive moved on and probably wont ever finish it

Also.. yapping about crochet kitbash and other stuff for a second below

Soo a lot of the work is front heavy if that makes sense, ive been doing a lot of testing with the scrapbooky style but i cant do too much until I actually 1. have the characters designed (which ive done for the main trio now yay!!) and 2. actually crochet them irl which ive been procrastinating because yarn is expensive.. at least with the amount of disposible income i have (which is negative amounts).

So currently ive been doing the free option which is just draw them a lot, and writing a lot. Once i have the dolls made and a workflow established, it's just posing them, editing together the comics and it'll be so much easier/quicker. But getting to that point has been slow and tbh its frustrating as hell, but theres not much i can do. We'll get there eventually.

also making amigurumi patterns takes ages lmao. I designed the characters with this in mind & have lots of experience making patterns but i still expect it to take months.

it'll be so worth it though!! it's going to have a really unique look if all goes to plan.

for now here's a tiny octo i made around christmas, sitting with my big octo <3 from the 12 days of crochet by @/complicatedknots, a fun little amigurumi daily challenge i participated in december

[supernovabird]

the trio!!

OKAY im done being all depressed and negative, despite this time of the year being the worst for me personally im actually really really looking forward to a new year where my main focus is art again.

This is going to be the year i focus on my ocs and original projects & hopefully will have something cool to show for it by next year!!
