Are you still doing requests on for your sketchbook series on AO3? If so could I get more zim and manson... i dont care what, just trying to scratch an itch (maybe more stuff of ginger too)
OhOH! an ask. for me?
I'm always over the moon getting an ask on tumblr.
But yess. i think i can do something for you :)
I would love to draw Ginger again too, he just is hard to capture... And i have quite a ton of sketches i still need to clean up.
Hope i get around finishing more stuff soon.
Party like it's 1998!
Zim Zum always seems so introverted, but Twiggy can tell - the guy knows how to party :P
And yeah, here we go again.
Part 3 (!!) of my Sketchbook Series starting over at Ao3. As always, i post stuff here as well (or on @dyingvoid if it's too doodly or nasty :P) but since tumblr doesn't let me post pr0n i have to cenor it or not post it at all.
I also have two Bluesky acc (regular & horny) but i'm too stupid for regular social media.
I want to draw many things and have too many sketches...
And also i'm extremly slow (even at sketching), i get nothing done all day.
On top of that... I don't even feel like my drawings amount to anything in the end. It's all so random, i can't pull any actual projects together.
Even people with actual fullblown unmedicated ADHD get more done then me. I don't have a flow-state and even things i "care" about don't give me enough motivation to focus.
I hate this.
Why am I like this?
I wanted to give it a try and design a second stage for Gideons Nemesis Mutation. I picked up the snake/hydra/chimera theme of course, but I felt additionally an angel, specially seraphim invocation would fit him SO MUCH as well. Seraph means something like "fiery serpent" and their purpose is to praise the lord and sing his glory.
So he has fleshy “wings” surrounding a single eye in the middle of the body. But ofc he is a corrupted seraph, twisted and fallen.
He has arms raised to the sky, looking a bit like a priest holding a sermon but speaking with multiple tongues. Truth spouted as shifty as his vision of Spencers Legacy.
Just a rough sketch, maybe i clean it up.
But this is more work then it looks :,)
Edit, forgot to mention: I drew this after seeing the unused model in the gamefiles, since i love the maws he got there and i wanted to design around them specifically
Reworking my Resident Evil OC
And i had to throw a wip out here because i ... i like it :,>
The Character isn't the human body, it's the parasite actually.
More thoughts under the cut:
It's a highly experimental NE-γ Type - developed for psychic abilities (like the Nemesis Parasites were used to give the Tyrants more cognitive ability, so i just expanded that concept) but it went a bit too far and got conscious and so not useful as a Bio-Organic Weapon (because it's not controlable with a free will), even though the psychic abilities did develop beyond expectations. (that is what the organ below the brain is for and it needs to be unobtrused on the host to function prober)
So there is only one of them for now and it uses a clone host body, that never was conscious itself (otherwise the parasite would have to absorb it and that was unnessesary trouble for the experiment)
I think i will keep the Name "Silas" for it, but it's so far removed from the first draft, it's a totally new character :,D But I like the idea of it choosing it's own name. (but the first draft character-design will stay as his first host body, this one here is the second one)
It will use it/its pronouns and is socially distant and weird, but interested in humans just out of curiousity (not hostile per se)
It doesn't have a regular natural drive to reproduce, but it has a strong survival instinct (also a reason why it was not suited as a B.O.W.)
Some more thoughts: this parasite uses it's own type of virus infection to mutate and control the body. But it can't "un-mutate" a host (and heal only to a limited capacity), so if it does that, it probably needs a new host to "appear like a human" again.
I also was thinking that it might struggle with ALL the Progenitor Virus strains (T, G and so on) and can't infect any already infected body. Then Elpis would actually be helpful to it, because it cleans out the body (purify it) and then it can take over. So it is itself not affected by the Elpis Anti-Virus. (thinking of it like a leech. It needs clean and healthy water to survive)
Also, in a humanoid host body it takes the space the stomach would usually take up & it also uses the host body brain to keep it functional. But you could should off it's head and it would still be running (and then probably mutate, because it has to make up for the lost capacity)
balblabla i have tons more thoughts, but i will leave it at that for now. I just wanted to share this as i have it so far, because i love my little brain-worm <3
(Also yes, i'm aware it feels a bit like a DnD mind-flayer, but that's really accidental)
I still want to get a real split-tongue. And all that Gideon stuff made that want pop up in my head again.
But my partner said... no. he thinks it's disgusting. he could never get near my face again, he said.
see this? i'm dead. i mean i'm continuously dying.
he is killing me.
(He supports my every whimsy, but that is his hard line :,)
Nemesis being worried about his little brother :,) I mean, he knows how much plot-armor a regular RE protagonist has...
And Mr.X has checked out (but was he ever checked in?)
made a ✨Height Comparison✨ for Resident Evil Requiem
Heights are approximations drawn from multiple sources, including my own estimates. I just wanted a reference for my own fanart, take it for what it is. Specially mutated Marie and Emily are eyeballed.
Also, i'm a metric person, i tried with the inches :,)
The Rhodes Hill Chronic Care Center reminds me of our Natural History Museum (I mean, makes sense, it's that architectual style and build around the same time. But i don't think it was a direct inspiration. As you can see in the images, it's build for a higher capacity of people coming through.)
I know they have a laboratory department underneath and my uncle worked there (and the botanical gardens) as a researcher on great ape DNA.
Another very familiar feeling is turning around a corner and almost getting a heart-attack, because of the f*cking Megaloceros Skeleton standing there.
Specially awesome at night.
Also the “Körperwelten” (Body Worlds) exhibition is coming back this year. Very fitting as well.
(TW: Dead Body under the cut)
Honestly I think Gunther von Hagens actively tries to look like the most evil scientist possible. (And I'm a big fan ngl.)
If Victor Gideon is a snake, Gunther von Hagens is his turtle buddy.
