The Inspiration vs the Creations

For some time, I have been thinking about drawing Molluck, Sekto, and the Emperor (from Baldur's Gate 3) because they all could belong to the same phylogeny because they look similar. Mind flayers are born from a parasite which causes the host turn into a mind flayer and they need to eat brains to survive. It just sounds something fitting when thinking about Oktigis. But mind flayers have also psionic powers and great mental abilities, which also makes me wonder what like those 'actual higher species' of Oddworld are, also knowing that Gluks used to practice black magic... I bet that Molluck does have a good reason to be afraid of his investors... I have also thought that if a mind flayer wore a suit, it would look more like an Oddworld character but I did let the Emperor have his armor, even it's quite detailed.

But yeah, I wasn't sure if I wanna draw this idea or not but then it just came to my mind to think about how those octopuses are such intelligent, curious, playful, and endearing creatures but they are often pictured as monsters, aliens and such in fiction, as something evil... I only found this side of them because of Molluck; he made me into them. They are my favourite creatures on our planet now! I just also love to watch those lil fellas doing their stuff. So yeah, I made the octopus doing an usual 'octopus thing': He is observing the trio via imitating their shapes. It's just something they tend to do when they encounter something new.

I'm not sure about Sekto's height but I know that both Molluck and the Emperor are 7 ft tall but Stranger is 9 ft tall and Sekto's host is a Steef, so... The concept art also shows that Oktigis are bigger than Gluks, so I guess that it's close to correct. Man, I feel like Molluck feels himself 'handless' around them, but also small... He kinda just ended up looking tired here... He looks like he need a hug, and a cigar! The drawing is actually kinda small which made this harder to draw (that's kinda the reason why Molluck's expression ended up being like that too) but I guess that they look alright.

But yeah, I also feel like adding that it actually makes me anxious to think about what Molluck might experience next, if he faces his investors... The scene Lorne once described makes me just feel Molluck's fear like it was mine... Also, man, why are so many Oddworld dudes so tall... Well, it's kinda complicated to say if Molluck is tall or not since he uses his hands to walk... His torso has the same length as mine but he has significantly smaller legs. (Yes, I have measured how big he is compared to me precisely.) I personally find it endearing, just how he is big and small at the same time! So, I wish that Molluck didn't feel bad about his body; I wish to give it love and care. And if the next chapter of Molluck's story is gonna be a bad ending for him (being the true ending), I'll give him a good ending. It's just that I love this Gluk so much and love ain't about deserving...

Man, I also would like to add that when I look at my drawings, I see a child... I mean, like a child had drawn them. I'm not even sure if this is a positive feeling or not but I just feel like this when I look at my stuff right now... It makes me feel embarrassed to post this but I still do it... Maybe I feel like I'm stuck, still like I was as a child, spending the most of my time with fictional characters, drawing them, thinking about them... A doctor could tell me that yes, I'm right, but does it really matter. It doesn't really harm anyone that my heart chose Molluck; it just makes me spend a lot time and energy on him and it only makes me feel good. I just don't even really understand relationships well, especially romantic ones... I only noticed Molluck's appearance after seeing myself in him, and it feels like the more I love him, the better he also looks... This is complex stuff.

the funniest meltdown ive ever had was in college when i got so overstimulated that i could Not speak, including over text. one of my friends was trying to talk me through it but i was solely using emojis because they were easier than trying to come up with words so he started using primarily emojis as well just to make things feel balanced. this was not the Most effective strategy... until. he tried to ask me "you okay?" but the way he chose to do that was by sending "👉🏼👌🏼❓" and i was so shocked by suddenly being asked if i was dtf that i was like WHAT???? WHAT DID YOU JUST SAY TO ME?????????? and thus was verbal again

Do you play genshin impact or honkak a

Star rail?

I don't play Honkai, but I've just started looking into Genshin Impact's story (someone described Neuvillette's character to me and I was like. hmm. HMM.) I haven't gotten far yet -- really JUST started looking at it -- but I'm looking forward to more! :D

(I know almost nothing about these characters yet, I'm probably drawing them SUPER wrong, sorry)

you ever just have a lot, a LOT of feelings all at once about a character and not even remotely enough words or brainpower to FORM the words to describe everything you're feeling. so it feels like you may explode. yeah

it ends in tears. unstoppable force versus immovable object. you don't want to make his life any harder because you can see he's struggling. he's just straight up begging. i said in last post tags he'd moan if you ask him to get you a glass of water. ask him to make you a snack and he'll just straight up come in his pants.

for something as trivial and simple those feelings sure are hard to get rid of

also made a gif a version for fun + alt version with no tears under the cut

the gif is in very low resolution...this is a feature (i could make it bigger but that would require saving each frame individually and than glueing it all together. also i feel like low resolution suits it better. aesthetically and fits the mood)
