Funny Limbs and other things I'm Obsessed with

Welcome welcome! This is where I doodle all of my fuckass interests including: half life, pokemon, paper mario, the hand bros from smash brothers, 2000s nostalgia, and what other things I'm obsessed with that week. Don't be shocked when I post my silly little limb characters! This also serves as a hub for my original stories too! Hell, if you have any questions about my ocs or worldbuilding, I'd be happy to answer them!

Isaac is finding new and exciting ways to hurt himself. Time to perform first aid on him AGAIN.

(I apologize for being sparse, I've gone through some SEVERE burnout)

I don't think I posted this guy, but meet Torrent! He's the son of a whaler that survived a shipwreck. Now he roams the seas, living off of whatever he can find. Has probably eaten other limbs, but don't worry about it, kitten.

(The fins are not part of this guy's anatomy, he's just wearing a headdress made from fish remains)

How would foot-people even move in heels (or a heel, to be precise) 😭

First of all, sorry to be EXTREMELY late with answering this ask.

Second of all, feet get around by hopping! See the crappy little animation below.

So, no, feet in my world would not wear heels (or shoes for that matter unless it is for protective purposes in hazardous environments) because they literally can not move comfortably in them.

Also, because feet value hygiene to a borderline obsessive degree, their clothing is typically super breathable, made of light materials, and outer wear is typically loose-fitting, so their garments leave the toes exposed unless it is winter wear, in that case, they wear "split toe" socks.

Here is an example of traditional foot soldier armor! Featuring a split-toed sock and durable, yet flexible greaves.

I was put on this earth to draw master hand in dainty little outfits

Hi I love your designs for Master and Crazy {all of them they're all awesome}

Do you have designs for the Smash original villians as well {Galeem, Dharkon, and Tabuu}?

First of all, thank you, second of all, I am SO sorry it took literally two months to answer your ask. (I'm getting around to all of them, barring the ones about the Alonna and the pirate foot because I ran out of writing juice for them) And THIRD of all, I will make all of the Smash Gods their own posts, but I don't want to leave you empty handed, so have a WIP of Galeem and Dharkon's (mandatory) humanoid forms. (Be warned, I do not enjoy drawing gijinkas as much as I like drawing the smash gods as their normal, freaky selves so you will almost never see them)

Feeding my isekai'd catholic priest my favorite candy as enrichment. Limb folk are weird little guys, hands especially have a catlike pallet

Soooo...I made a species inspired by those weird looking medieval manicules with legs and tails!

Manicules are magical beings that use their eyes to absorb knowledge, which is why a lot of them work as library assistants or work in libraries of their own! They can even sense lies, as lies always "taste" pretty awful to them.

-and I drew a little Manicule family! Two husbands and their feisty 20-something son who prefers to gain knowledge by going on quests and slaying beasts!

...Names pending.

I made an itty bitty lore post for Fling, my frutiger aero OC! I am so obsessed with the entire aesthetic family that I had to make a silly little guy out of it! Sunward will get her own post soon, lol

A life sized embroidery in honor of the humble sprat! (It's a bit messy, but it has been a hot minute since i consistently embroidered)

As somebody who has always interpreted Master as the announcer, it's really interesting seeing the other way around. (I am very autistic about these silly hands). And, speaking of, so when an announcer is inside the hand vessels, their personality splits? How is the relationship between each hand pair? Do they each have a different dynamic?

thx for asking!!! and also for the excuse to doodle more

so first, melee's hand pair is more unified than the other two pairs. considering that dean harrington's take on the duo mostly came down to different kinds of evil laughter without much difference in the base voice (which. yknow it makes sense), i see this sort of split as a bit more of a double duty in strategy and demeanor. whenever luxor had an excuse to split off, it was also an excuse to go mask off, really antagonize the fighters. this is part of the reason why some fighters outright feared luxor, but out of all the reasons given during the lifespan of melee, the hand duo was the most deliberate. yknow to really motivate them to pull themselves up by the c-stick or whatever. the dynamic itself was very much "i think i should do this, don't you think? oh, you're so right, me, how did i not come up with that myself? oh wait. i did"

brawl is when the master-crazy duo started feeling like a proper duo and less like Two Of The Same Guy, cuz this is when crazy hand started sounding shriller (and imo its my favorite take on their voices. nice job pat). in my headcanon, i like to take it as another effort by audi to bring the tournament back to its routes as something enjoyable to participate in, and as such, they wanted their tenure as the hands to feel less like a threat to survive and more like a challenge to overcome. if you snuck around, you might've even caught 'em doing a routine in front of the kids to satiate their boredom in waiting for the next match. their dynamic was much more like a proper team, and while master hand would sometimes feel exasperated by the kinds of stuff crazy wanted to get up to (aka the nonsense audi thought of doing but thought it was too stupid to even consider acting on) there was no real bad blood, so to speak. unfortunately, the events of subspace happened, and in that in-between period where audi searched for a successor, the hands didn't have nearly as much of the vigor they once had.

the days of sm4sh and ultimate let the hand duality exaggerate even further, if that iggy koopa type voice from xander is any indication. i interpret it as mobus letting even looser with the role of being both hands, allowing them to be more than just final bosses and nebulous protectors, and basically making them a bit more of a consistent presence. sometimes she ends up even splitting into the hands without the need to fight, so that she can have a sort of external interal dialogue. their dynamic was a bit of a balance between the kinds of happenings from the predecessors, what with master hand often being more into strategic maneuvers to gain the upper hand and crazy hand focusing more on brute force to exhaust the opponent, but they were also more easily agreeable to each other. this synergy was strengthened after recovery from the events of World of Light, which is how i like to think the dog barking move came in

additional headcanon: across all iterations, Crazy Hand laughs involuntarily. it does like to play it up when called for, but in general, it tends to laugh as a tic of sorts, even when the emotions expressed do NOT call for laughter.
