Check Image ID's for descriptions, transcriptions, and some extra tidbits about the drawings! (Since I'm a chronic yapper and I felt that was maybe a neater way of composing my ramblings. Note: I do not know what I'm doing.) Check under cut for some rambles!

Howdy do, Tumblr! Yes, I've returned after more than a year of unexplained absence to mast-post doodles because I'm obsessed with the ocs from one of my fav artist's new hyperfixations, that's perfectly normal what do you mean- So as mentioned, @brightgoat is one of my biggest inspirations as an artist, I've loved their stuff for years, and I've recently been hooked on their latest story, Minecraft: My World, a fun reimagining of the world of minecraft with some standout characters and narratives that have me in more of a claw grip than I ever anticipated, it's great! I highly recommend you check their stuff out (my audience of 24 from a year ago), including their art for other fandoms! It's all unbelievably stunning they're very cool!

These are bunch of doodles mostly of their ocs Nil, the Nitwit Villager, and Polly, the Passive Pillager. I heart them so much! What silly little guys!! Their friendship means so much to me!!! I love drawing them and I want to draw them so much more, and also the witch, the trader, Steve!!!! haaaaah, but college life demands much of me, so unfortunately, it may be a while before I can. (and I have so many ideas it's driving me crazy!!)

Ok, final note before I go again. Thanks Bright (if you read this) for teaching me what clipping groups are!! Aside from your art literally inspiring me in more ways than I can count, that was incredibly helpful to me not getting frustrated with my digital art as much! Which made me enjoy it more and experiment more and now I use them all the time!!! Much love to you!! See you later folks!

Art under the cut for spoilers for chapters 13 and 16 of Then it becomes, it becomes, it becomes a problem by @tempusedax-rerum on ao3. (Along with transcriptions) Are you a fan of cleverly worded chapter titles? Do you like your fair share of references to the real world? Do you want to see Bill Cipher face the horrors of self introspection and painful awareness??? Then you should read this fic! Cause it does all that and so much more, and it's a total blast babes: check it out if you're 18 or older and the tags don't bug ya! (yes, every time I post fan art for this I'm going to make a sales pitch, it's a good fic and I like the sound of my own voice (cough EGO-)). I've actually been holding on to these drawings for a while; figured I'd post them when we've got only ONE chapter left?! What! I'm not ready for it to end!!! Nevertheless, consider it my sweet goodbye for the time being, as I put the most effort into this out of everything. I'm not done with fan art for this, mind, just busy at the moment. I'm not even caught up, haha, I haven't read chapter 25 yet (and it's driving me nuts). More rambles about the art under the cut. (I'm a gabber! ¯\_(ツ)_/¯)

Transcription for the doodles (Guys honestly my handwriting usually sucks butt): Image 4: Meanwhile 'Is my boyfriend going to implode?' Image 5: Bill: "Aw c'mon, I haven't even seen her yet-" Ford: "Bill. Yes or no?" 'How do I help her? Will she die? What happened? Is she ok? This was a mistake. Let me be wrong about you. What did you do?' Bill: "...Ok so maybe I sent her mind to hell-" Ford: "WHAT" Image 6: Bill: "Finally, everything's comin' up BILL! Dumb ol' Jan-Jan's out of the picture, the gang's come back, and Sixer loves me again! What could possibly go wro-" Ford: "Now hold on-" Image 7: Stan: "HEEEERE'S STANLEY!! and Fids!" Ford: "Hm."

Ok so for the big fancy one, it's actually the first fan art I made for this fic and what pushed me to actually draw any at all, because the moment I read Ford getting all flusters at the thought of his and Bill's future I just lost it! This silly guy, getting excited by getting to do science! I saw it so clearly in my mind and just had to get it on paper. (digital paper that is)

I also drew all of these before I figured out my coloring style, so I was experimenting with this one. Yellow, as pretty as it is, is very frustrating on its own, particularly in dark values. I have mixed feelings about the final look.

The doodle of guilty Bill, I stopped reading the chapter to draw, haha! Once again, the vision was so clear, I just had ta! Rushed it though, since I had to get back to it and read the rest, but I'd like to come back to this one and touch it up sometime.

These are old drawings, so back around those chapters I was wondering if Stanley and Fiddleford showing up. Those last doodles were my joking prediction of how that'd happen. I have no clue honestly how the story is going to end and if that's even still a possibility. (Probably not, I mean, oh my god how would that work out, but I swear if that's happened in the latest chapters and I don't KNOW-) (don't tell me if it did or not)

I love the henchmaniacs, we should all draw them more I think.

WHOOO ONE MORE CHAPTER LEFT HOW WE FEELIN' TIBIBIBAP GANG?!

French (and Euclidian) Translations Image 4: Janet: "Give me a drink already." & 'This damn triangle" Bill: "Of course, buddy!" & 'This damn human' Image 8: "Oh god, I live with a deranged man." Hello my dear audience! Quickly, I wanna apologize for not updating last week (only three weeks in with a stockpile of old art and you didn't post? Classy Snap); I was returning home after a long trip out of the country and got swept up in everything. I've got a lot to share this week though, so I hope that makes up for it! These are all my doodles of Janet, an original character from the fic Then it becomes, it becomes, it becomes a problem by @tempusedax-rerum on ao3. It's a jaw-droppingly well written fic chock full of fun little allusions to our everyday world and some of the most ludicrously entrancing imagery that has me seeing more than just stars. You should go read it, if you're over 18 and the tags aren't a problem, because it may be about Bill and Stanford, but I stayed for Dr. Janet Janvier! (I stayed for a lot more than Jan but we're celebrating her today). I got a lot to say - I'm a chronic chatterbox! - so here's what you can find under the cut: - rambles about design choices and headcanons - a whole lotta bonus doodles - alt versions of the art above (for the pencilwork)

Quick fun fact: I had to redraw everything here!!! (Sometimes life really sucks) Some things here I hadn't drawn the first time, but this whole layer of doodles got mysteriously deleted and I couldn't recover it by the time I'd noticed. So uh, yeah. Design notes and Headcanons: - I try to use a lot of strong shape language in my designs, and chose a rectangle as her primary shape; she's stretched thin and tall, and often teeters between high stress and calm groundedness, like a rectangle getting flipped from its thin side to its longer one. She's unbalanced, and pretty rigid, and I just think rectangles suit her well. She also matches Ford, a square, is very different, though not opposite, from Bill, and is rather similar to Fiddleford, who she is the narrative replacement of.

- We don't get to see Janet in anything other than a soaked martini dress and an old hoodie and sweatpants and I think that's a shame! It makes sense within the narrative, but I've been curious as to what her typical dress is, so I decided to dress her up in various "80's outfits" (in quotes 'cause I went on pinterest and have no understanding of any kind of fashion) for fun. Personally, though it wouldn't exist yet, I feel like Jan would like early 2000's fashion.

- So I study French and immediately when I learned Janet's full name I said "Is her last name blipping JANUARY?!" and thus my habit of headcanoning characters I like as french or french-speaking was invoked. In hindsight, I should've looked up her last name before committing to the headcanon because as it turns out, Janvier is a regular last name and is more popular in francophone countries in Africa than it is in France. Look, if you give me the sliver of a chance to write in French, I'm going to do it. It's a lovely language!

- I think Bill is able to see what shapes each person is made up of, even though people aren't shapes he can see people as both a composition of different shapes and as disgusting meat sacks (so in other words, he's an artist? kidding, kidding!). Therefore, he looks at Janet and is disgusted by her rectangularness and would insult her for it while she blows him up in her mind. Something something, Square's and rectangles would often get along in Euclidia so Bill's like "Well Ford's a square so he'd probably find a rectangle attractive even though they're not even equilateral and are just the worst-" Janet really is such an interesting character, despite existing just to propel the narrative. I've always loved fics that take the time to establish side characters, a world outside of the main plot, those who take the risk of adding an oc as a main-stay to provoke the characters to make decisions they wouldn't have on their own. I love how Janet serves as a narrative device but gets the chance to flourish on her own, and as invested as I am in Bill's constant deconstruction of his self and Ford trying to puzzle out his own feelings of hope, fear, and everything involving Bill, I am just as invested in Jan's conflict with herself, her husband, and her desire for control over her life where she feels she has none. We should all take notes from Janet, cause she's a really wonderful oc, and I'd love to see more of her beyond the billford. To Tempused: Thanks for writing an amazing story, and congrats on hitting the homestretch! It's sad knowing the journey's almost over, but I'm so glad to have been one of many readers apart of the ride, and I'm excited to witness the end. Awesome job! Truly, you've written something phenomenal.

So anyways, I started blasting- I remember seeing a post on this site about Ford not knowing about some basic things, like what an axolotl was or something of the sort, based on The Book of Bill. Couldn't find it again (:[), but it did make me think about how he would not know what the evil eye is and the very easy way to keep Bill away. Ended up making a comic out of the concept. Evil triangles on the loose? Pfft, say hello to my little bracelet! Check under the cut for some rambles/head canons!

I do wonder if Alex Hirsch took actual inspiration from the superstition when designing Bill. His magic is bright blue after all, he's got the gold, black and white colors too, and he's literally an evil eye, with big lashes and everything. I like to think that originally Bill used to think the Middle East was the peak of humanity, blessing them with golden ages, becoming a god to them, inspiring the pyramids and such, until the people cottoned on to his true nature and created the evil eye charms to boot him out. That was Bill's second-worst breakup ever.

Art under cut due to spoilers, gore, and blood!

Original Characters in fan fiction tend to be a tricky line to toe, but if you want a stellar example of an OC insert done right, look no further than Then it becomes, it becomes, it becomes a problem by @tempusedax-rerum on ao3. Janet is such a delight to read! From her having to put up with Bill and Stanford's hijinks, to her own self-destructive tendencies, she's incredibly interesting on her own while also greatly aiding the plot and serving as foils for the other two. I love her to bits! The doodle below is based off of Chapter Two. This fic is a fantastic read and I highly recommend it, if you're over 18 and the tags aren't a problem; it's easily my favorite fic I've ever read and I've read a lot of good ones. The author pours so much love and care into every line, every detail, and updates way more frequently then they oughta! I mean, a new chapter almost every week? Gosh, it's spoiling! What are you still doing here, go read this fic!

Seriously, the author's descriptions for scenes like this were too enthralling NOT to draw! I have so much more fanart for this fic to draw and post!

[snippitysnappednecc456]

"Code unwrote and rewrote itself about them, as protector and destroyer stared only into each other." Feels only fitting that my first piece of fanart on this website is devoted to these two; Undertale was my first fandom, and I got super invested in the AU side of it, obsessing over these two for the entirety of middle school, haha! After years of them rotting my brain and taking up countless sketchbook pages, I can finally share my take on them! Speaking of, I've always wanted to write a fic of these two myself, and this doodle is based on some of my drafts for that fic. Don't get your hopes up, it'll be a long time before I sit down and write it fully, but that doesn't mean I have the patience to share this little tidbit! Enjoy! Error Sans belongs to @ loverofpiggies Ink Sans belongs to @ comyet Check under the cut for some alt versions!

Aight chat, this week you're getting some old art! (Can't always give you the freshest goods!) Made this all the way in 2022, wowza! One of my oldest pieces on my laptop, in fact. It's fun seeing how much my style has changed from only two years ago, and all the similarities that lingered. Check under the cut for some fun facts about these!

These drawings are so old that they come from the time where I didn't know most of Krita's (the program I use) basic functions, like, oh y'know, clipping masks. When rendering Susie, I first did line art for her, did the flats, and then painstakingly applied color adjusting filters to get it to look lineless. Ah, those were the days (it was torture, so glad I've learned).

I've never been a fan of robes. The shape of them was always frustrating to draw and when Ralsei's design switched in chapter two from what most assumed was a poncho to a robe, I had been really frustrated by the change (also I missed the poncho headcanon, it was so cute with his little hat :[ ). So back then, i decided to give him a... sideless dress? Instead as a middle man for a robe and a poncho (which makes no sense, I know, I don't know what my train of thought for that was either). I've come around to his design now (still don't really dig robes though), though I might play with some redesigns in the future, just for funsies. (I still miss his little hat :'[ )

I had been apart of the Spamton hype train when people were going nuts over this guy (though funnily enough, I did NOT like him when I encountered him in my playthrough), and I was sad to see him reduced to an accessory, so I came up with Bartender Spamton, where he gets brought to Castletown instead and works with Swatch at the cafe as a bartender, serving Big Shots to some [BIG SHOTS!] I have some more art I could probably dig up of that, if anyone's interested, haha.

Introducing: To Be Small - The Main Cast

"It is easy to feel small when facing you is the towering shadow of reality."

I am proud to present the first character page for my first story, To Be Small! These four are the main party of the story; tiny critters on a journey to find the strength they need to prevail by facing their worst fears.

For now, that's all I'll say. If I'm being honest, I'm posting this earlier than I'd like for personal security. I'm not ready to start sharing the story, not when my main cast doesn't even have proper names! Nevertheless, that doesn't mean I'm not open to questions, so if you're interested, please, go ahead and ask! I'd love to share some details about my little guys!
