HI!!!!!!! Pretend I'm waving to you very excitedly :D I just discovered ur art and went through ur entire account like a kid in a candy store and holy shit man I went through so many emotions and I absolutely ADORE how you draw Noli (because gay for them oh and seven as well but we're not talking about him so I'm pushing him away with my hand) BESIDES THAT!!! Now I'm a bitt curious about how 1x looks in ur style :O (I saw the most recent art you that you did and I saw the slightest hint at 1x and stared are the screen for a good minute before going back to look at ur Noli art)
NO RUSH BTW IM JUST VERY GAY AND I LOVE UR ART
(Alsooo happy birthday!! Joyous day!! Pops a party horn!!)
THANK UUUUU!!!! I've been cooking up a 1x1x1x1 design for a hot minute!
I put a bunch of lil easter eggs into their design! The main color palette was inspired by the arena boss fight they featured in for the Games event, as well as that glitched teapot set. Their glitch sword is what remains of their wings, their heel is a reference to 1x1's classic sword, the crusader helmets got a buncha ones hidden on it, the pants and belt are a riff on Telamon's robes, etc etc. Super fun lil project!
As for lore, I had this concept that Shed and 1x1 are the remains of Telamon after he got split apart by the other admins. Shed takes this sorta brother/dad role on 1x1, to... mixed results. I was inspired by "Wait a second, you aren't Builderman!" by awelldressedtornado and how they wrote the two was these begrudging brothers. Sorta reminded me of Celestia and Luna, which resulted in a fun lil skin doodle i might polish later down the line
