Made a character based off of the MK x Macaque's Apprentice! Headcanons.
This isn't gonna be the last time I draw them, they're like as edgy as Macaque but they're as dorky as MK.

did my oc Lasso in @sm-baby au (which is so good and you should check it out)
a lot of text under the cut
Basically Lasso is an boss like the rest, the thing with them is that their boss fight is kinda weird, it'll starts with a trial (yeah just like sans), they will start to ask questions which may seem easy (like do you lie frequently or pretty light stuff) but will start to get more personal with things you swore you've never told to anybody or even questions that are hard to asnwer ("Are you a good person?" "Do you think you deserve heaven?"), even if you answer with the truth, everyone lies, and their boss fight will actually start (if this doesn't make sense to you, don't worry I don't even think it makes sense), I kinda imagine it like the angel boos fight in Cuphead (I love that game) and all of that (might add more in the future but for now I only have this)
I like to think the only ones who they would have a good friendship would be Pomni (friendship is not verbalky or physically abusing of her) and Ragatha, even thought they sometimen consider Pomni "kinda annoying"
Tumblr media
also cursed hc that the au was created by Gangle since she wanted to do something with all of the circus (not necessarily true but it would be really funny like those cartoon creppypastas/theories that "everything was on their imagination")

hi hi! can I request some headcanons about the ninja (+pixal, if you're up for it) having an artist s/o? okay thank you, also I love your writing!
Oooh yess!! Where my artist ninjago enjoyers at⁉️ I’ve come to nourish you <3
Ninjago - Ninjas (+ Pixal) with an Artist s/o
Jay
Immediately asks if you can draw/paint/etc him
If you agree, he will ask again in the future
….honestly he’ll probably keep asking even if you say no
What can he say? He wants to inspire you ;)
If you have art block, he immediately jumps to pose dramatically or arrange a bowl of fruit or something
He’s equally enamored with the quality of your work and the fact that it came from your hands
He loves all your work, even the pieces you decide to scrap/re-do
“What are you doing?? That was perfect!”
“Jay? How long have you been standing there-”
On that note, he loves to watch you work
Even when you don’t know he’s watching… (he’s a little obsessed)
But the plus side of this is that he knows the exact products you use, and he can see when you’re running low
He makes sure to replenish your stocks for you :) so you won’t ever have to worry about running out mid-project
He also makes sure to flaunt your work as much as possible, especially the pieces he “inspired”
He truly thinks you’re the best artist in the world, and he WILL fight someone over it
Cole
I see Cole as a pretty artsy guy himself, so he’d be thrilled to have an artsy s/o
You might not expect it, but he’s really in tune with his feelings, so to me it makes sense
He’s not quite as artsy as you, but he knows how to appreciate it
He’s more into the performing arts himself, but he has no less respect for other types of art
He’ll totally arrange work sessions for you both, which vary depending on the vibe you’re working with
Feeling like doing something a little dark or moody? Dramatic piano. Candles. Wine/grape juice in wine glasses.
Feeling colorful? Open windows. Flowers in vases. Candy and fruit. Maybe some cartoons playing in the background.
Point being: he knows how to get a vibe going
He really loves to work alongside you, even if you’re not doing the same thing
Sometimes he tries to sketch or paint, but more often he’s just watching you work or practicing moves
(You guys totally have a shared studio btw; wood floors and barre for him, easel/supply cabinet/whatever you need for you)
You guys definitely help each other out too
He’ll teach you a few moves so you can be his dance partner every now and again, and he’s more than happy to be your muse in return
He doesn’t really do performances or anything (dance is just a side hobby), so he has all the more respect for you if you publicize your work
He loves all your work, but he’s also a great source of constructive criticism
“I like this one. It’s darker than your other pieces, though, isn’t it? More drab.”
“Yeah, that’s kinda what I was thinking. I think I was just in a mood when I made it.”
Kai
He’ll make requests, but mostly for things he thinks would be cool
“What if you did one with, like, a car shooting flames from its exhaust pipes? Oh! And the driver is super handsome with a flaming cape and swords and sunglasses that are made of pieces of the sun!”
“That is insane. …I’m starting right now.”
He really admires your art, and he’s honestly a bit jealous of your skill
He actually has a pretty creative mind, just not the means to express it
So he’ll be shy about it, but eventually he asks if you can give him some pointers
He doesn’t want to keep asking you to bring his sharks flying in jets over volcanoes to life forever, after all
He’s gotta learn to be independent!
So he’ll quietly join you while you work, watching you closely and trying to follow along
He gets frustrated when he isn’t instantly as talented as you, and you have to laughingly assure him that skill takes time
He only gains more respect for you as he tries to stay calm
He learns to truly admire your work this way
And with his admiration came a tenfold increase in support
However you share your art, he’s the #1 supporter
Posting online? He’s already liked, commented, and shared on 7 different platforms. At a showcase? He’s dressed sharply, stationed not-so-inconspicuously in front of your piece(s) and getting others to talk about them
Zane
He also has a deep appreciation for art
He doesn’t always understand non-logical things, but art has a way of resonating with him
So to have a partner who makes art…
It adds a whole new level of emotional depth to your relationship
You already make him feel complex things, so seeing art that’s from you is truly an experience
The wistfulness he gets when looking at normal art is only amplified when he remembers that your hands produced it
He likes to be with you when he admires it, squeezing your hand while he takes in the little details
He’s a quiet admirer, but he’ll absolutely attend any events you’re featured in/support any online presence you have
He never gets tired of looking at your work; or looking at you work, for that matter
If you let him, he’ll watch you work
He’s dead silent, which is either a blessing or a curse depending on how easily you get creeped out
Eventually, when you finish, he’ll stand up and join you at your side, admiring the final product
You know he likes it when he reaches for your hand with a smile, letting you rest your head against him
The most you’ll get verbally is “it’s beautiful,” but trust me, he feels so much more deeply about the piece (and you <3)
Lloyd
Lloyd is more curious than anything when he finds out you’re an artist
What kinds of art do you do? Can he see your work? Have you always liked art?
He’s eager to see your work, but he’s not sure he can “appreciate” it properly
You have to reassure him that there’s no one way to “appreciate” art, and however he feels about it, that’s just how he feels
Your response only increases his interest
He ends up getting more into art because of you
The art of appreciation, if you will
He wants to be able to understand your work more so that he knows how to support you
He mostly spends hours just staring at your work, trying to notice the little details
He’d love to watch you at work, too, if you’ll let him
He asks questions all the time, but still tries not to annoy you
He’s actually already a natural at “appreciating” art, but the fact that he’s always trying to learn only makes him better at it
So you can do nothing but smile while he tilts his head, carefully formulating his next question
They’re surprisingly deep at times:
“Do you think this piece uses smoother shapes because you were feeling relaxed, so you moved more slowly? Or perhaps you were just emulating your calmness subconsciously..?”
“That could be it. I hadn’t thought of it like that.”
“Oh, sorry, am I overanalyzing? Sorry-”
“No, no, you’re totally right.”
You’ll ruffle his hair affectionately, and he’ll wrap an arm around your shoulder while he continues to examine your piece :]
Nya
I’m gonna be honest, I don’t see Nya as the type to get all deep over the meaning of art
Like, if it’s pleasing to the eye she’ll appreciate it, but she doesn’t think about it too much
It’s just too abstract for her tastes; the pseudo-reasoning of art critics gets on her nerves
But for your work she makes an exception
Well, not really an exception—she doesn’t take to pseudo-reasoning
She knows you, she knows your feelings, so when she sees your work, she sees a piece of you in it
It’s something she doesn’t see in other art pieces; she doesn’t know the artist, so it’s nothing more than a visual piece for her
But with your pieces, she can dig deeper because she knows deeper information
That’s why she loves your work, and why she loves watching you work
You’re the only artist that makes her feel like she really understands art, and for that she appreciates you
(She still thinks that most critics talk out of their asses though)
On that note, she will fight your critics. She will hunt them down and make them regret ever trying to “understand” your work
“Tch, look at this idiot. He doesn’t even know what he’s talking about! He doesn’t know you!”
“Nya, he’s complimenting my work-”
“But he doesn’t understand it!”
Honestly you think it’s a little funny how she’s unintentionally become one of those critics who argue about a piece’s meaning
Only for you though ;)
Pixal
She has a vast trove of knowledge, but feeling is something she often struggles with
There are few things that actually give her profound emotions
Your art is one of those things
The fact that it came from you, that your hands crafted it…
It stirs something in her, and suddenly the shapes and colors come to life
She asks you about it often, trying to understand
“Why is it… calming?”
“Well, I suppose I used some pretty muted colors, and the imagery is kinda peaceful… I dunno, does it calm you?”
“Yes. It makes me feel calm.”
Obviously you’re proud of her for better recognizing her emotions
And she’s proud of herself!!
Your art helps her understand a part of her that she’s only beginning to explore
And, since it comes directly from you, she credits you with the help :)
She loves to see your finished work, but she also finds herself mesmerized by your creative process
Watching the piece come together, each motion bringing it closer to completion, helps her understand the art itself
She tells herself that it helps her understand her feelings, too
Even though she knows that not every piece is dedicated to her, she always thanks you for showing her your work <3
Tumblr media
Thanks for this request!! And thank you for reading, take care you little rockstars <33

The Man Who Sold The World | Luke Castellan
Tumblr media
Spotify Playlist Link
Katherine. She was the one who started it all for Luke Castellan, the reason he did what he did.
Warnings: Mature themes/language. Violence. Sexual content.
Chapter Eleven
Chapter Twelve: The Prophecy
Katherine wholeheartedly kissed Luke Castellan as he drove, not caring if he crashed the car. She’d never felt more invigorated and alive in her life. She needed to feel it. She needed to feel him.
“Slow down, baby,” Luke mumbled into her kiss, chuckling as he tried to glance at the open road every now and then.
After the debauchery on the way from New York to Baltimore, Luke and Katherine had decided together that it was best they get as far away from the east coast as possible instead, just for a little while as their bullet sounds healed, which certainly didn’t take as long considering their healing powers.
Of course, their identities were safe after they destroyed the security cameras in the restaurant on the way out, also thanks to the Mist, but still, Luke knew that somewhere, there were police sketches of them hanging up on a bulletin board. So, they were headed to Arizona to lay low.
“Slow down, baby,” Luke murmured, becoming increasingly aware of the few cars around them.
“Why?” Katherine said innocently as she watched him struggle.
“Because, I’m gonna crash,” he stated.
“So?” she asked, genuinely indifferent to the outcome of that risk-taking.
“So, we don’t wanna almost die again, do we?” he questioned.
“What if we did?” she asked softly, an eerie provocative quality to her voice. “We’d die happy, wouldn’t we?”
Luke just chuckled at her, driving down the highway in Kansas. It had been several days since they’d headed off toward Arizona, and they were getting closer to their final destination.
“Luke?” Katherine spoke quietly.
“Yes?” he prompted her.
“I thought about what you said,” she finally said.
“What did I say?” he asked for a reminder.
“About going back with you. To camp,” she said, capturing his attention as he stared at her, trying to discern whether or not she was serious.
“You… You have?” he asked, not sure how to respond.
“Yeah… Do you still want me to come with you?” Katherine asked him, a soft expression on her face.
“…Yeah,” a soft breath escaped his lips. “I do.”
She smiled, seeming pleased with his response. “Okay. I’ll come with you,” she decided with finality.
“R-Really?” he stammered. “You want to?”
“Yeah,” she nodded, seeming certain. “I do.”
“Alright,” he nodded, considering the idea as he smiled. “If that’s what you want, then that’s what we’ll do.”
It was another day or so before they reached Arizona. They laid low in a motel from Sells for little over a week, not leaving the room unless it was for food. The entire week was dedicated to questionable motel TV and sleazy lovemaking. The couple didn’t really speak to anyone else throughout the entire stay, focusing solely on each other the entire time.
That left them plenty of time to spend entire days in bed, enjoying each other’s company over anything else. Katherine and Luke both chuckled as he laid shirtless under the covers in the air conditioned room with his arm around her, their noses touching as they held one another.
“You know I love you so much,” Luke said suddenly for the first time, moved by the moment.
“I love you just as much,” she whispered back, looking him in the eye without fear or trepidation.
Something in Katherine had changed when Kronos brought her back to life. Like didn’t know what had happened, but he knew that whatever Kronos had done had actually affected her in some way. He didn’t know if it was wrong, but he actually appreciated it on some level, feeling as if she’d had some sort of epiphany.
“I don’t know what I’d do if something happened to you,” Luke admitted to her.
“Nothing’s gonna happen to me,” she promised him, her hand gently resting on his cheek.
“You can’t promise that,” he murmured, a look of fear in his eyes.
“Well. I can promise you I’ll always be with you. No matter what,” she promised him. “I’ll always be right here.”
“I hope so,” he sighed, closing his eyes in a silent prayer as he pressed his forehead to hers.
It was a couple days before they left for New York again, heading back to the camp. They took about five days, getting a decent amount of rest along the way. Once they finally stepped through the magical barrier at Camp Half-Blood that only permitted demigods to enter, Luke found himself reinforcing his arm around Katherine as they walked through.
“We just have to talk to Chiron,” he murmured as a few people noticed her presence already. “Then you’re good to stay.”
Katherine nodded silently as he walked her to the Big House. ”Wait right here,” he told her as he walked into one of the rooms alone as she waited out in the hall.
There was a short discussion going on between Luke and whoever was inside that she couldn’t hear. After a few moments, Luke came back out, looking pretty happy.
“Okay. You ready?” he asked her.
“Mmhmm,” she nodded, his smile overtaking her as she unconsciously returned it.
He walked back into the room with his arm around her protectively, as Chiron, the first centaur, looked at her in surprise. Luke turned to look at his girlfriend, realizing that she had a glowing symbol flashing above her head as she walked: a silver set of scales.
“It seems that your mother, Nemesis, has chosen to claim you without our asking,” Chiron observed, pleasantly surprised. “You’re lucky.”
Luke smiled down at Katherine, resisting the urge to completely dote on her.
“You will be staying in Cabin 11, with Luke, and the other children of Hermes, and the minor gods.”
“Okay,” she agreed with a nod.
“Of course,” Chiron said more stiffly, “I will firmly ask that no funny business take place; one of the rules here is that two campers may not be alone together in the cabins at any given time.”
“Of course,” Katherine nodded, both she and Luke trying to hide their massive smirks.
“We will provide you with a place to sleep and a camp shirt, and you are also free to use anything in the armory or anywhere else in the camp for training,” the half-man explained.
“Got it,” Katherine nodded.
“Good. So,” Chiron continued. “You’ve lived on your own all this time?”
She nodded again. “I left home when I was thirteen.”
“You’re very resourceful to have survived this long, Katherine,” he told her. “Not many demigods would have been able to survive this long on their own.”
She just smiled, looking up at Luke.
“Anyways. I won’t keep you; there’s still lots for you to see. I trust Luke will show you around,” Chiron smiled as Luke nodded in response.
The two of them walked back out to where the car was parked, retrieving the few belongings that they both had. All of Katherine’s possessions fit into a big garbage bag. Luke showed Katherine the bunk he was meant to give her in the Hermes Cabin, then pointedly walking her over to private rooms he said some of the other counselors had claimed.
Despite being the largest cabin at the camp due to the amount of unclaimed and minor god children, Cabin 11 was still constantly packed. It felt like there was hardly any space to walk. Glad to have somewhere private for her and Luke, Katherine left her things in his room, as he walked her out to give her a brief tour of the camp.
As they walked through the camp grounds, Luke smiled pleasantly as a young blonde girl crossed their path, who couldn’t have been older than twelve. She initially smiled when she saw Luke, but then seemed more hesitant when she noticed Katherine.
“Hey, Annabeth,” Luke smiled, “Long time no see.”
The girl, Annabeth Chase, who Katherine had remembered his stories about from before he arrived at camp, just smiled meekly.
“Hey,” she murmured, looking at the stranger next to him.
“This is my girlfriend. Katherine,” Luke introduced her politely. “Katherine, this is Annabeth. One of the strongest, smartest people I know.”
There was a certain pride to the way he said it.
“Hi, Annabeth. Nice to meet you,” Katherine said softly.
“You’re a daughter of Nemesis,” Annabeth said with a lack of filter. “I can tell.”
“I am,” Katherine nodded pridefully, a curious look on her face as she tried to decide how she felt about the short interaction.
“Welp. We gotta get going. See you later,” Luke told the girl, continuing on as Katherine put the discomfort of the lack of conversation behind her.
As Luke ushered her around, his hand resting firmly on her back, everyone at the camp began to notice the newcomers that wasn’t actually a child. He showed her just about everything at the camp: the cabins, the arena, the strawberry fields, and the beach…
Luke felt oddly proud, just walking around with Katherine. He liked the idea of showing her off, of walking around being the only one allowed to touch her at all. He liked having Katherine on his arm, because he knew no one else could. They didn’t stand a chance. Any of them. Many people looked at her, and the two of them together, for many different reasons. One of them in particular was a remarkably slim girl with dark hair and blue eyes.
“…Who is that?” Katherine asked, noticing the girl practically tracking her movements.
She seemed to be all but glaring, not even blinking as her head turned as far as Katherine walked.
“Who?” Luke asked, tracing her gaze. “The one with the blatantly obvious stink eye?”
“Yeah.”
“That’s Silena Beauregard. Head of Cabin 10, Aphrodite… I think she’s always had a huge crush on me,” he admitted.
“Well, if she keeps looking at me like that, I’ll crush her.”
“Love, I appreciate the thought,” Luke said humorously as he tightened his grip on her, “But I think she’s one of the ones that could be useful to us.”
“Right. We have a shit ton of recruiting to do eventually,” she sighed. “You should get in her pants.”
Luke stopped dead in his tracks, looking at her in disgust.
“What?”
“She’d obviously do anything if she thought you wanted her to do it. You gotta give these people something to hope for if you want them to follow you,” Katherine reasoned.
“I guess that’s true,” he mumbled, not liking the idea. “I guess I’ll lead her on, or something.”
“Good,” she nodded her approval.
The two walked around the camp together, until they were stopped by a rather disheveled looking middle-aged man with a Diet Coke in his hand walking out of the Big House.
“Hey! You two,” he barked them down.
“Mr. D,” Luke called promptly as Katherine realized who they were speaking to.
Dionysus, the god of wine and general debauchery, one of the camp’s directors.
“Go see the Oracle.”
“The Oracle?” Luke questioned. “Why?”
“You think I know?” the malcontent demanded. “Just go up to the attic. Chiron said the damn thing’s acting up.”
“Okay,” Luke sighed, as they walked back up to the Big House.
“The Oracle of Delphi?” Katherine questioned, recalling the multiple times he’d mentioned it. “Why would it have something to say to us?”
“I don’t know,” Luke admitted, trying to think. “But… I think it has something to do with what she said when I went on that quest, right before we met,” he remembered.
“What did she say?” she asked him, not recalling him ever telling her about it.
Luke just sighed. “The last lines never made any sense to me until we went off together… I think it went like this.
‘You shall run for your life,
Never free from strife.
You shall find a new reason,
As affinities deepen.’
That’s what the oracle said to me.”
Katherine stared at him for a moment, trying to fully process.
“That’s you and me,” Luke told her. “For some reason, you and me are part of a prophecy.”
She nodded silently as they walked into the Big House, now fully understanding the gravity of the situation.
“There you two are. Go up to the attic,” Chiron said immediately upon their arrival. “It’s asking for you.”
They both agreed, without any further questions. Luke led Katherine up to the large, dusty attic of the house, taking her to the Oracle, the dead body of the last woman to inherit its power, which had just been stored up in the attic over the years.
Luke watched as it slowly came to life, reanimating like some sort of Halloween animatronic.
“I don’t think there’s a quest,” Luke said thoughtfully. “The one I just came back from… It was the only one the camp has seen since the last quest I went on.”
Katherine nodded, knowing that both quests of Luke’s were sore subjects that he didn’t like to discuss very often. They both watched as the corpse came to life, showing them both the same vision before it spoke. It was a vision from the past, of the two of them eating at a diner on the way back to New York.
The Oracle began to speak, its voice seeming to be wheezing in pain.
“Hate burns in the name of love,
And this love was not sent from above.
You will both turn your backs to home,
It will always be you, together and alone.
Betrayal will be rewarded,
And love is perverted.
One soul has already been claimed.
One will be sacrificed to pain,
The other to an eternal reign.
Time will betray you,
And blood will ensue.”
Katherine and Luke exchanged worried looks as the dead corpse snapped back into place, no longer moving at all. They both took a moment to recall her words, the ominous prophecy burned into both of their brains.
“‘Time will betray you’….” Luke echoed.
“‘And blood will ensue’,” Katherine nodded.
Both knew that meant nothing good.
“‘Betrayal will be rewarded, and love is perverted’,” she repeated.
Luke thought for a moment, considering the endless possibilities.
“What we’re doing…” he realized, looking her in the eyes as his hands held her gently by the forearms. “It’s not gonna end well,” he looked at her, an almost pleading look in his eyes.
“Did we ever think it would?”
“I don’t know,” he confessed, thinking about his own betrayal of the camp. “But I always thought, on some level, it’d be worth it.”
“It will be worth it,” Katherine said poisonously, the look in her dark eyes consuming him. It will be worth it, when we burn this shit to the ground,” she promised him.
Luke held her for a moment, wondering if this was someone he recognized. He had certainly seen Katherine like this before. She probably would’ve said the exact same thing even before Kronos healed her, but something in that moment still felt eerily different to Luke.

(If you're comfortable with this) could you make a tutorial on how you make your creations??? It'd okay if not, thank you for making them :D
WAA i can try!! baby's first tutorial ft. this guy
Tumblr media
🐾 first, a picture of your blorbo
i use waifu2x to up the quality, not always neccessary but it makes everything a bit easier and prettier. i use firealpaca to edit but you can use whatever you like, im not your mom
🐾 probably get a reference
yeah i dont always do this. but you should! i should! so google whatever creature you want to turn blorbo into and maybe scroll for a bit to get a feel for what they look like :3
try to find one at a similar angle to your blorbo picture and paste it/open as a layer. look this is close enough ↓
Tumblr media
🐾 onto the actual editing! human ear surgery
in case you prefer just one pair of ears. you have to understand the style so you can imitate it.... so look at their hair, maybe theres more colors or gradients than you can see at a glance or something ! i colorpick a bunch of them and put them over their ears, then blend them together with a low opacity watercolor brush
ALSO, notice the.. lighter glowy aura thing around his ear in the og? i try to imitate details like that too, used watercolor for this again
Tumblr media
now maybe you wanna make it look like theres something covering that spot, since theres kinda nothing there now. soo if that looks weird to you, (open a new layer and) put some hair over it. i cant tell u how to imitate Any style so just. study it and keep trying
with enstars here the lines are pretty soft, so i go over it with watercolor brush after doing the general shape. with a higher opacity you could probably just use a softer brush from the start, i just like starting with the basic pen
Tumblr media
🐾 the lines!!!
nowww i lower the blorbos opacity to around 50%, bring the reference somewhere i can see and just kinda... start sketching. lot of redrawing and transform tooling here sometimes
TIPS 1. you can clean the lines up at the end so dont stress
2. think of your blorbos new ears as a real tangible part of their body and how they fit on their head since you dont wanna make it look too flat !
3. and for the placement i always end up at roughly one human ear length above their og ears if that makes sense. tried to visualize it
Tumblr media
as for inner ear fluffs phew i dont know either. draw a circle and start from there? maybe there are actual animal ears in blorbo artstyle out there you could reference
Tumblr media
🐾 coloring 🏳️‍🌈
finally some progress huh. i color the lines in a contrasting color first so i see the lines properly and dont miss anything, then fill it in with the actual color :3 OH and for gradients i just use the airbrush at the ear tips or sides
Tumblr media
noww shading! new layer, basic pen brush and try to follow the shapes in the og art. it's best if you pick the colors from the actual picture!!! take notes mentally and just do your best i dont know how to explain this more
taking this as an example, the shading is mostly in pretty simple wider areas, so not a lot of seperate strands in there. and its again pretty soft around the edges of shades and highlights, so i'll go over it with my beloved watercolor. keep things like that in mind so the creaturing blends in well :3
Tumblr media
if you like more detail better you can still go with that. or less detail on a complex artstyle. the world is your oyster
🐾 and the rest
what else could there be???? making the lineart more cohesive for example ★ oftentimes it's not one solid color, thicker or thinner than yours, things like that.
Tumblr media
for things like piercings or fangs you can just draw them on top i believe in you <3 if its like an intricate earring use the lasso? magic wand? the one that lets you select an area to copy and move on top of your ear layers
+ remember details like shadows, if you put a tail on top of say blorbos leg there's gonna be a shadow under it! put a layer under the tail ones and freehand draw the shadow, OR copy the tail layer, put the copy under the og one and change color/opacity until it fits

Hello! I'm here to talk a bit about my sci fi rotbtfd au comic!
First, the title of the comic is Otherworldly! I'll be calling it this from now on, as it makes it easier for me, rather than saying "rotbtfd sci fi au comic"
Second, the synopsis! What is Otherworldly about?
Otherworldly takes place in a futuristic world that is “cursed” by an endless ring of nightmare sand that circles the entire world.
Created by a scientist named Pitch Black, who had a fascination for fear and its effects on people. Used what's known as “Moon Dust” to create the nightmare sand to terrorize and take over the world.
For years, the world lived in fear until another scientist, known as “MiM” created modified humans using the same “Moon Dust”. They would be known as Project G. Or Guardians.
However, one small incident causes the Guardians to fail, leaving only one member to defend the world.
Lost and alone, the sole Guardian must now find a way to defeat Pitch.
But with the help of some peculiar strangers, he just might be able to.
So yeah! That's the main plot! There are going to be arcs in the story, so every character gets to shine! It's not just about one character!
(In case the nightmare sand ring circling earth didn't make sense, here's a quick, ugly sketch. Hopefully, you can understand it 😭)
Tumblr media
Lastly, I'd like to say that it will be a while until i get it done! But I will have it done this year 😤😤!!
Here's some concept art of Tooth and Elsa!
(Suggestions for their outfits are appreciated!)
Tumblr media Tumblr media
These are NOT their final design! The only final thing is Tooth's face and hair. I'm going through a bunch of outfits for them and everyone else, but for now, these are the only things I've drawn. I'll post more soon!!
Also, I drew these on my phone on ibis. That's why they are low quality, but the comic is being done with clip studio on my ipad!
(Also, Elsa was done without much care into the anatomy. That's why she got thick thighs and a wonky hands 😭)
(Tooth doesn't have hands cause I got lazy lol)

I've got many many thoughts on resurrected Terzo :)))
More sketches and LOTS of headcanons below the cut

So to start my explanation of how he could've even been brought back in the first place is because- yknow that hammer they hit head popes with to make sure they're dead? Yeah well the people embalming him didn't do that because he was decapitated and they figured that was probably a good indication that he was actually dead.
Well later on, The Clergy is starting to get a bit nervous with all of the power Copia seems to be growing into and they're looking for a plan B despite being out of heirs. Commence resurrection.
Upon first being revived, Terzo immediately lashes out, catching Sister Imperator with his claws. He's literally been in hell for five years and it shows in the fear on his face.
His skin is paler, greener. He smells of formaldehyde, his head is hastily stitched on his neck. Being in hell has also embedded slight demonic energy into him, it seems like the world warps around him, like his power leeches into the ground he walks on. He has flashes of his memories of hell but he generally tries not to think about it.
Now I also want you to imagine this:
Imagine you're a guy in a very high position of power that never really feels like he's good enough, then eventually you're forcibly retired and killed for not being good enough by people that should technically be below you and your asshole dad. Then suddenly you're dragged out of your glorious afterlife in hell because those same bozos want you to replace your absolute sweetheart younger brother (he's actually your brother now too???) because they also maybe want to kill him. And to top it all off your favorite ghoul was tossed back into the Pit like he was nothing right after you died.
You'd be pissed off right? Yeah well that's where Terzo is at.
All of his usual charm and whimsy takes a backseat for a low burning rage. He doesn't bother giving any of the siblings of sin the time of day anymore. The Clergy quickly recognizes that this was a terrible idea because this guy hates them even more than he did before and is one more situation away from snapping and taking someone back to hell with him. Maybe Copia, even as the antichrist, wasn't actually that bad.
Regardless, Terzo reluctantly becomes Papa again through some loopholes regarding living papas and what not. His new album takes a significantly darker, angrier tone than any other. Imagine the darker sounds of Cirice through most of the album. I'd argue that kinda darkness was very much present in Meliora but even that had some zest for life within it. Now, like, this music is made by a guy that literally died horribly and went to hell. This album is haunting.
During rituals he tries to kinda act like his old self because he does love his fans but you can kinda tell it's not the same ("heeyyy guyyyys I'm back :))" *barely contained rage*). You can also tell all of the ghouls are quite a bit more on edge than they were with Copia, you can cut the tension with a knife.
(The ghouls are not really concerned about Terzo himself, but rather what it means for Copia and themselves. They're concerned that the clergy's trying really hard to throw them all out. Which they are. Also none of these ghouls have really been around the other Papas, and they know Copia has been unusually friendly with them, so they're a bit weary about acting wildly as they usually would)
Really there are only two people Terzo isn't mad at. First, probably the only benefit of all of this in his mind is getting to see Copia again and getting to witness how much his awkward little brother (they actually were brothers too! He jokes he that he always knew it) has really grown into his skin as Papa. They catch up for hours, Terzo meets Copia's ghouls, they talk about his music, they talk shit about Nihil, reminisce, etc. It's been the one good thing about all of this. Terzo is heartbroken that he was taking Copia out of the spotlight because it seemed like he had grown into it so well.
And the other of course is Omega. Apparently, all of Terzo's ghouls had been thrown back into the pit almost the same day he'd died, but it was believed that Omega himself had killed a sibling of sin beforehand and left their body as an omen, greatly straining the relationship between the ministry and ghouls as a whole. Despite this, Terzo doesn't once stop asking for him. If they're going to bring him back they could've at least had the foresight to give him any kind of motivation to stay. He'll summon him himself if he needs to dammit.
In all honesty he misses him and the rest of his ghouls dearly. You'd think they'd be able to be together in hell but the reality is the different layers of hell aren't actually something most are meant to pass through unless you're a 13th century italian poet. So Terzo really hasn't seen any of them since he was alive and it weighs heavily on him. He knows wanting to summon Omega again is probably selfish and that his time back on earth is likely to be very limited, but he finds it difficult to think of anything else. (Omega would be thrilled, but the ache of being left again would still linger. He should've stopped to think about all of this before falling in love with a mortal but it's too late for that now isn't it?)
Of course, nothing lasts forever and Terzo's revived body gives out after a good handful of months. It's a wonder he didn't take anyone with him on his way out or that the Clergy didn't take him out themselves. That whole situation was a bit of a disaster so the Clergy decides that maybe Copia isn't that bad for now. Until they come up with something better at least.

hello fair bones!!!!!! i hope you're havin a swell day today :DDD
if it's alright to ask, from a beginner artist, do you have any tips for coloring after lineart? i love your art sm and your sketches are all so fluid n clean w such vivid expressions and hnhnghgng it's always so cool to see how much you can convey with a single drawing!!!! i keep getting frustrated by how my lineart always seems to lose its initial expressions after coloring so any shading/lighting pointers would be v much appreciated ;;
ALSO I LOVE YOU SM YOU SEEM LIKE A RLLY COOL PERSON TUMBLR IS A HAPPIER SITE TO LOG ONTO BC YOURE HERE PLS BE SAFE AND HEALTHY AND MAY YOU HAVE GOOD SLEEP QUALITY AND VIVID DREAMS <<<333
Oh sure yeah!! So obviously a lot of this is from color theory and there are so many great resources for learning it such as this book (I've linked the PDF), but here are some notes-
I took a neutral drawing without lighting and did some quick/simple color corrections using the 'level corrections' tool and an overlay layer. This stage is mostly just toying around until you feel like the emotion or mood that you want to capture is headed in the right direction. I actually haven't done a lot of lighting painting or corrections to any of these drawings- just shifted the palettes to fit the theme. Even that makes a huge difference. I have made no changes to the drawing or expression.
Tumblr media
You can see in my notes why I made certain decisions; none of these are 'rules' and they can be played with and broken! But a visual shorthand can be used to communicate things more effectively/efficiently. For example, I noted that high color contrast between figure and background (i.e. figure is blue while the background is red) creates drama. Whereas low contrast between figure and background gives your eyes a rest and is less work to look at/information to absorb.
You can also see that saturation is a large part of this- for high drama/emotional scenes I use more saturated colors to draw attention to it, but for softer/more neutral scenes the colors reflect the lack of conflict.
Similarly, harsh shadows and highlights can create a feeling of tension when shading a figure that a more subtle approach to shading would not.
This was mostly to show that color can have a huge effect on expression, especially at a glance, so thinking through your choices and being aware of the language will certainly help in expressing what you want to express. Super recommend checking out the book I linked, it helped me a ton when I started learning!
Hope that helps!! Always happy to answer further questions (and thank you very much!!! <3)

Bunch of Ocs Sketches! Part 1 probably.
These are the Fish Cook group. They are antropomorphized fish that run a weird and disfunctional cooking show together in across all the segments of said show. They run low on money to so they have to improvize a lot.
Allyum (The starfish) is the Pastry Cheff. Known for her perfectionist actitude regarding her cooking. Shortest of the entire group but not youngest! Likes making cute looking pastries
Mithril (Hammershark) is known as "the butcher". Altought he is the one that usually leads the group he's a cheff on its own! Specializes in meat recipies. Usually a bit out of his mind sometimes and his recipies can get a little bit wild compared to the rest.
Copper (Octopus) is the youngest and also the newest member if the group. She doesnt specialize in anything bit is known as the fastest in terms of cooking of the group. Altought fast doesnt mean her cooking is shaft to! She can make great quality meals in just seconds! Altought she is a bit anxious proned and doesnt seem to have adapted to the way the others work
Silver (The eel) specializes in vegan alternatives. He is the most passionate on the group regarding his cooking. He goes really strict on how things work, and gets really fruatrated when things dont go his way.
And Obsidian (the urchin). He just washes the dishes
So yeah :)

"Wh-What the—? And I was lookin' forward to a happy ending!" "Not yet! We're just getting started!"
Tumblr media
okay wow the quality is absolute garbage. i guess that's what i get for exporting this on samsung notes. i'll see if i can somehow get a version that doesn't look so low resolution it looks like i reposted it
anyway, this sketch i did today is inspired by this sprite of kokichi, which for some reason i associate with this scene from chapter 1? hence the caption.
(now that i'm rewatching it, the "don't worry!" voice line he says is so endearing—i sure hope he doesn't go through experiences so traumatic it eventually backs him into a corner where he feels he has to be antagonistic and cruel to everyone for their sake. and is it just me, or is he a lot more cooperative here, even, somewhat genuinely, reprimanding kiibo for pointing out that "assumptions are all but useless" when they were talking about being friends after escape. i'm sure that kokichi also agrees with kiibo, however i believe he was more in favor of boosting morale—after all, 1. it's important for preventing a murder, which would be very high on kokichi's priority list, and 2. they only tried twice, so like hell he's gonna let them give up so easily when a possible exit is right there—so he was also in favor of kaede's leadership.
i think the entirety of chapter 1 ruined all his hopes of everyone cooperating normally, alongside with giving him the conclusion "this place wants us to get our hopes up in order to crush it," and with how good (for better or for worse) he is at adapting depending on the situation, that lead to… *vague hand gestures* yeah. i like this prologue-to-chapter one version of him a lot, and i wish we could see him leading in a peaceful environment—even if he does it really indirectly/subtly, because it would definitely be different from the way he leads for the rest of the game, or maybe even the entirety of it, from the moment it's announced to the end.
did not intend for this to be a ramble/"analysis" but alright. i do recommend reading this analysis by unweavinglies, as well as their other analyses, they're really good!)
although i'm not fully satisfied by this somehow, i think it's pretty good for something i drew on a literal notes app. if you ignore the hands.

ive had this idea for a deltarune swap au for a while now, where the darkners swap with the monsters in order of how they are in Undertale, and ofc i had to do a sketch sheet of the biggest GOOGH man you could possibly make. sans swapped with spamton g. spamton. the internet explodes. character analysis under the cut.
basically in this au, sans becomes a bloatware adblocker program, like McAfee or Norton, meeting you at the very start of the chapter and involuntarily signing you up to his "great deal i tell ya what," where he serves you to protect you from harm.
Throughout the game, the player's interactions with Papyrus (who swapped with Queen), no matter how perilless, is never helped by sans, who is consistently too lazy to help you. after any time the characters get them out of harm's way, sans'll just say "oh yeah there was danger there huh. i gotcha now." and then completely ignore you going directly into another death pit immediately after.
About halfway through the chapter, Sans'd let you into his store, where instead of spamton's rapidly fluctuating prices, he gives you items at an unreasonably high quantity and unreasonably low quality, shoving so much into your inventory that it overflows and breaks it. he subtly un-subtly tells you that he'd prefer you dead over alive this entire time, and you just have to move on.
Outside of game mechanics and storyline, his general Weird Voice Ordeal is that he speaks in puns at any chance he gets, some getting very cryptic and vague from the player's perspective. Also he has a cloud, floaty aesthetic so that lends to more puns on his part.
He also still recognizes his reality as being one of many, also knowing that the player has control over that ability.
so basically, Sans Undertale is the same Sans UNDERTALE we know and love, but forced into a Deltarune reality where everything is all a game and hes also a browser program for some reason. I thought itd be really fun to make him like this so i did. yeag.

2023
I have kinda mixed feelings about this year. There were some low points, but then there were some high points too.
I was mostly busy with almost nonstop dogsitting sessions and zine work, but they really ate away at my personal time, especially during the middle of the year. On top of that, I kept job hunting for the first half of the year but it was going nowhere. It really broke my spirit, to the point where just thinking about job hunting made me feel depressed, and I needed to step away from it. All of this combined, I dealt with burnout, discouragement, feeling lost, and stressed to the point of developing a excessive hand-washing compulsion during the summer, which I'm still trying to shake off. I wonder if I also lost a bit of myself along the way, often not feeling absorbed in the moment.
And yeah, this low period also showed in my art summary for the year. I only published a few sketches if they weren't zine works.
That being said!
It wasn't until December that things felt like they were starting to get back on track. I finally got a chance to draw for myself again, and I think the interest I had in this showed in these last few pieces. I felt a lot more comfortable drawing these pieces. I was also finishing tasks in December when I wanted to finish them, and I'm now feeling more accomplished and less ashamed of myself.
On another note, we had great weather this year! There were no wildfires to watch out for (at least, that I was aware of), no nearby smoke or really bad air quality, and not much hot weather! Also lots of rain and cool weather in the first half of the year, it was really pleasant! It really helped with our drought crisis!
As for other accomplishments:
I went travelling for the first time since lockdown! (though even with official safety precautions being relaxed, I still continued to be careful)
I finished pieces for 5 zines: -DanganParty: A Birthday Party zine -Fly!!: A Haikyuu zine -Tsukuyomi: A Tokoyami zine -Celestial Night: A Sailor Moon zine -Wintertide: A BNHA zine
Started some serious cleanup, both at home and on the computer
Going to the cinema again for the first time since lockdown!
I turned 30, which does feel kinda weird because I certainly don't feel like I'm that age. I spent some time while I was 29 kinda fretting about it, but if it makes me feel a bit better, 30 is technically the last year of the 20s. I felt like more could have been done in my 20s that I would look more fondly on like I would for my first two decades, but then again I was dealing with hardship and then healing during my 20s (though it wasn't all bad) I can only hope that I can make my 30s more what I want.
Now then, onto the resolutions:
Image descriptions: Because my mind was preoccupied due to working on other things, I never got around to making any image descriptions this year. On top of that, I ran into a dilemma on where to put these descriptions (do I use alt text? or do I keep writing it in the text box because I hear the alt text can be buggy?) Hopefully I can find a solution and make good progress this year.
Language learning: I think I progressed well in my Japanese learning this year (I watched a video of a N5 test review, and I only got a couple of mistakes, so I think I qualify? Not a huge accomplishment, but it still feels good to pass some kind of level) I'd like to add another resource that involves writing or speaking, if not communicating with someone (that'd be a difficult goal, since I'd need to figure out where to find a conversation partner)
Storywriting: I'm in the middle of writing my next chapter for KalChi, though burnout created a roadblock for me. The chapter after that should be a bit easier though, so I'd like to get more than one chapter published this year. Also… I have another story I'd like to get started on soon (hopefully I'll have news about this in the 4th quarter of the year) I'd also like to try and find a proper website to put my stories on, such as Wordpress. I'm open to suggestions!
Other fun things: Find more things to do outside of what I normally do. It got a bit monotonous for me this year, and I was really itching to see some local stuff again.
Relax: This is the most important! I made this my resolution last year, but I didn't follow it at all, and I think I did worse this year in regards to self care. I really want to plan out my personal time better so I'm not either rushing to get a lot done at once or feeling bored out of my mind.
I also want to continue to keep up with friends! I think I did a little better this year, but our main issue was schedule coordination. But I feel like my ability to communicate has suffered a bit, so I need to keep that up too.
I want to remind myself that making an effort can make a positive difference and not to give up, so I'm once again adding a link to some good things that happened in the world this year: [link]
I have a feeling 2024 is going to be a big year, at least in the world. Maybe the same will be true for me as well, at least in a positive way (though I won't push myself too hard) So I also hope that you stay safe and take care of yourself too. I wish the best for you 💕

well it really depends on the kind of art you're offering in each price tier. in my experience, people charge less for headshots vs full body pieces because headshots take a shorter amount of time. some artists also charge differently when it comes to whether the art is a sketch or lineart or fully rendered.
imo with your quality of art, it definitely warrants a higher price if you're going to do fully rendered types only but i understand if you want to start out with cheaper prices if you're a beginner at taking commissions.
♡ hsr-texts
yeye i was asking like in general if its too low cuz my artist friends who have been doing commissions as a living is giving me like 50$ and above when they take myy style into account hahahwkljdk but also i dont want it to be too expensive since. yeah im tstill a beginnner TT

Hi to everyone who still does give a damn.
Well, I'm dead again, I'm back again, and I don't have good news.
In general, I'm not ready to blog about drawing. And this is entirely my fault. Yeah, that's how it is.
The main reason why I came to this conclusion is my low skill. Like, it really sucks, not in a good way. Due to the lack of any clear style in drawing, ignorance of proportions and anatomy, my drawings suffer like the last sinners in hell. And I suffer with them, because the observation of such results discourages all desire to work. Also, my anxiety and wild concern about social condemnation and rejection by society, you know, all that bullshit, does not help to maintain at least some kind of activity. In general, the blog has been already dead for a long time thanks to my constant disappearances, so it's not a big loss (only fandom stuff, like Black Christmas or Pizza Tower, helped at least somehow, but I rarely work with fandoms, so fuck it).
That is why I decided to close the blog until an indefinite period. Maybe I'll resume working with him in a few years, who knows. Until I'm just ready for it, that's all. It's nobody's fault, there's no drama, it's just a fact.
What do I plan to do? My main goal at the moment is self-development, skill improvement and further search for style until I am no longer ashamed to show my work to the world. Something like this.
About the account. I won't delete this account and create a new one, no. I will be active from this account and I'll leave here everything that I posted, EXCEPT ALL THIS SHIT WITH PASHA. In three to five days I will delete this crap, I really don’t like it and it looks like unfinished low-quality shit. This boy deserves much better. Maybe I will post some sketches, works and different things that I especially like, but I'm not sure.
That's all. Thank you for being with me, love you all!
P.S. Even after so many months my english still sucks.

your ocs are very interesting!! Please share more about them some time
anon you have no idea how happy this has made me, thank you for your interest! I'm also very sorry for finally answering this like two month later (i'm actually not sure how long it's been)
so i know this ask was sent around when i only had one post of those two oc's (pirate and fairy) so here are these two's designs
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Gladiolus (fairy, left) and Sirpen (pirate, right) are a part of my own fantasy world i'm working on? i'm not really all decided what i will do with them but all there is to know now is that they're a couple.
i had a few concept sketches of these two much earlier but they were low quality so i made something proper (that's why it took me so long to answer ahah), but yeah these are something like their refs for now
and if i may i'll put a few more things about my other oc
Tumblr media Tumblr media
i haven't decided on their name yet but for the meantime a placeholder will be Krimson (or Krim)
they're sort of a demon? also working out this one so there's really.. so little i can say about them.
and lastly, this is not really an oc, but i've made an avatar for myself, not sure how long it'll last as an avatar tho lol
Tumblr media
it's just a very tiny wild boar. that's it
