DAY 4!!!

ALT Hermit: Watcher Grian

Im late again BUT in my defense i worked really hard on this one. i want to turn this into a finished piece but that will have to wait until after the challenge is over because i am farr to busy atm.

yes yes it is a very basic choice but Watcher Grian holds a very special place in my heart ok? I love him sososo dearly you dont understand (/hj)

while i made this i had "doesnt matter" by annebelle dinda looping in my head so the title of this is "Atleast a hundred better lives." as in, literally every universe is better than one where Grian becomes a Watcher no matter what else happens. because i hate him.

Alt ver with the symbol over his face removed!

the lighting was really fun to do on this piece though his arm gave me alot of trouble. i think it turned out nicely!

and youll have to forgive me for the inaccuracy regarding the string. its been a long time okay? give me a break im tired :,)

Ok. Hermit a day May year two for me. By some miracle I managed to post something on time for every day last year. I do not expect the same this year since I'm going to attempt drawing instead of writing (There will probably be some writing too still) and I don't have a habit of drawing often at the moment like I did with writing. But we'll see.

All that said, I do have a plan...

Hermitcraft x Wings of Fire

...cause I only know how to draw dragons lol. And... and... dragons are cool...

So here's sharpwing Zed. He got caught messing with Tango. I'll show Tango's design on his day. He's totally not a shilouete cause I'm still so rusty at drawing or anything. Why would you say that...

Anyways, I have made Zedaph a sharpwing cause I think the mechanical little guys were a good fit. He's a great size for spying on the hermits and getting into the tight spots in his wild inventions.

He also has a bigger mech he's built and can pilot so he can be closer in size to the rest of the hermits. I think he probably just kind of possesses the mech rather than having controls inside or something. Details of how that works are to be figured out still.

As things tend to go with my brain "draw the hermits as dragons, one-off" has turned into "oh no another au wip". And I haven't locked down enough of it yet to sort out the tiny details like that. Still not even sure if I want this world to be more Minecraft like or more Wings of Fire like, or more of a mash up of the two. I really like my Minecraft world building... It's hard for me to get away from.

Anyways. One thing I have figured out about Zed's mech it that when he leaves it, it locks up and goes rigid. Much of the time he balances it properly so it just stands there, but sometimes it tips over (*cough cough Tango knocks it over *cough). And so naturally Zed, upon re-entering the mech must get up.

Now I cannot animate so I give you... Zed getting up in his mech.

I mean... just the whole body curling up like that at the start. The sporadic coordination. The very abrupt wake up. You cannot convince me he would move any more gracefully that an excited puppy. No matter that it's just an extension of himself, no matter how long he's had the mech and used it.

Clumsy puppy mech wearing sharpwing Zed. Thank you for coming to my ted talk.
