SURPRISE another ask from me >:)

For the color pallet one this time:

Hijinek + Toxic 👀

!!!! Hell yeah!! Thanks so much for requesting my girl Hijinek, too!!! It'd been ages since I drew her so i went a bit overboard fgjkdl

It was super fun to do dramatic lighting, too, something I don't do often! (edit: Also oh my god tumblr made it so small. You can open it in a new tab for like at least twice as much detail)

Lineart version and bonus under the readmore : )

She's 9'8" btw : )

(I did promise you could hold hands fjkldgl)

Some doodles done in @vilz​ 's magma (that is still going on rn I think) it was fun!

Almost there!! 👀

Have the sketches for inktober days 3 and 4 while I try and detail the sketches and catch up

Inktober is always a challenge in being scared of 'ruining' the sketch for me fjdnd

Anyway here's my sentient oobleck and alien mercenary Hijinek for day 3 "nosebleed" (I think I'm gonna ink it as-is and -then- sketch the 'blood' on top. I never know how to shape liquid dripping along a surface, and I already spent like 2h and started over 10+ times to get this one so I don't want to erase too much fjdjsj)

And for day 4: 'sleepover', a drawing of our og dnd party (before Gun the mimic and Suzgut the dragonborn rogue joined us)

Finally got around to inking Hijinek so I can start sketching the 'blood' in 'nosebleed', kept sketching for like 2h and switching between Hexxus-like and blood-like textures and I'm still not happy with it rn cjdjd taking a beak for today before i start getting through the paper

I have 3 (well technically 4 but the 4th one is secret for now) more drawings inked that I should probably post? But it's almost 3am so. Tomorrow.

MY ROOMMATE HAS FOUND THE TRANQ GUN /J

I REPEAT, MY ROOMMATE HAS FOUND THE TRANQ GUN /J

(thanks zoh, I swear I'm going to bed!)

Have a WIP of Hijinek while I disappear for the night dkdjd

(that gun just about killed me when i drew it in the wrong angle, but im glad i downloaded a 3d 6 shooter in clip studio so i could stick a cube on it and put it in perspective to base this version off of dhshdh)

Madeleine gets the holo skirt and the funky fish jacket! I don’t think I’ve talked about her much? Cadet’s the pilot of the salvagers crew, one of the best pilots around! She’s a 0G girl, she’s human but she’s always moving like she’s in very low gravity-- think moonshoes but all the time Super proud of how the holographic skirt, velvet shirt, and plastic water-and-fish-filled vest came out!

When you color a character, and you realize you never gave him a color scheme?? Decided to color some old inktober drawings, for Joff. Still not sure if i should go with this (an orchid mantis color scheme) or grasshopper? But it’s funny to give the grumpiest bug dad napolitan ice cream colors

[ID: Digital art of Hijinek posing with one hand on her hip and holding an open briefcase full of cash that's floating off into the wind in her other hand.

Hijinek is an alien. She is wearing a blue body suit, a cropped black bomber jacket with a fur collar, black boots and a hip holster that's tied across her hips and around her right thigh. Her right arm is mechanical, and the sleeve of her jacket on that side is shorter.

Her face is a mask that's littered with scars, with a big one across where her right eye would be. Her hair is tied in a ponytail, and is purple and made of anemone-like strands with glitter inside that makes it look like a starry sky. There are openings on her neck where black tentacles are oozing out. /End ID]

Eeey, speed-drawing some OCs so i can put some things up and participate in Art Fight, so here’s Hijinek!

Hijinek and Joff

Hijinek,, literally went full xenomorph on some poor ship’s crew to get off her deathworld planet, and was an assassin for years. She’s got so much blood on her hands, and honestly she’s much more comfortable in a fight than a conversation (though she IS working on it) Said she wouldn’t get her heart broken again, then carves her whole heart out to give the moment she trusts someone also she has the WORST sense of fashion. They took their eyes off her for 2 seconds and she got some beige-and-technicolor monstrosity of a muppet’s pelt coat Joff can be petty when he wants to. He’s the quartermaster and has been known to log fake jobs/cause problems problems on purpose just so he can assign you the worst job if you piss him off enough Also he can do the loud cricket noise with his legs and drive everyone bananas. But hes not mad. Really. (please apologize, it’s been 3 days and i want to SLEEP) ... [cricket noise]

HOW IS POPPY PROBLEMATIC? plz thank u

She WILL eat the last doughnut and then she WILL lie about it. She has SO MANY plants in her nursery, please send help, they’re taking over EVERYTHING and floating cacti aren’t great when you hit a patch of 0G Oh, actual thing, her bedside manners as a medic could,, use some refining. She’s a bit rough. She WILL tie your ass to the medbay cot if you try and make her job difficult (Hiji has fallen head over heels for her fgjkk)

Drew Hijinek to practice clothing yesterday and I'm pretty proud of it! Posting it here to remind myself I want to color it today

yeehaw

oh oof click for unbutchered version thanks tumblr

Rambling about OCs cause i don’t think i put those up here yet??

So! They’re a crew of salvagers for abandonned spaceships and sometimes mercenaries. Not exactly legal, not exactly illegal, but hey, that distress signal’s been going on for a WHILE by the time they usually get there, and the local government‘s pretty quick to lay claim if they’re interested We’ve got:

--------------------------------------- Hijinek She/her 9′8 ~30-35 years old Nightshade Bi Hijinek is the salvage crew's muscle/infiltration. She's basically a bunch of ooblek clinging to a skeleton, which is then stuffed into a space suit for humanoid lifeforms. Her 'hair' is more akin to anemone strands with slight bioluminescence, and her eye glows in the dark slightly, for dark vision. On top of the solid (the normal one) form, she has a liquid and gaseous form for infiltration, escape, and unpredictable movement (the arm, made of nanites, and mask follow, but not the rest of her stuff!) Yes the mask is her actual face and not flexible, though she can technically remove it (the face under that is mostly teeth, so big she can barely open her mouth, not that she really needs to). She's missing her right arm (now has a metal one!) and eye (the mask/face closed up over where it was, but there's still the big gash across it). She comes from a death world, so while she's great at combat, she's actually pretty awkward with strangers! It generally comes off as intimidating instead, though Though her outfits can vary a lot, she always has to wear a skintight suit underneath or else she'll leak all over the place. Also, don't believe her cool outfit. It was absolutely picked by her friends and she just wears it all the time ‘cause she knows it’s supposed to look cool. She is the absolute worst when it comes to clothing and can't coordinate colors, function or textures worth shit.

---------------------------------------

[Incomprehensible hissing noise and pheromones], nicknamed Bob He/Him 8'4 normally, 12ft when standing on hind legs ~30-35 years old Azelian, a lizard centaur Demiromantic Ace Bob is Hijinek's best friend, and the crew's tech expert and communications guy! As an alien lizard centaur, his first 4 limbs are arms/hands, so sometimes he stands on his hind legs to type on 4 different keyboards like some corny 90's hacker. for someone so lanky/with so many limbs/real fucking heavy, he’s surprisingly fast and agile. He can stand his ground pretty well though he’d much rather talk people down. Azelians communicate with the help of pheromones, so while he gets more insight into people’s emotional state, he gets pretty confused/mixed signals from artificial scents like strong perfumes on them He's pretty cheerful/a glass half full kind of guy, and what he lacks by being kind of oblivious, he makes up for with sheer enthusiasm. (does that make him a himbo? he's sort of a himbo, just with niche knowledge i guess?) He has a wife, Ana, also an Azelian, who he loves very much, and they have 3 lil hatchlings

---------------------------------------

Madeleine, nicknamed Cadet She/her 5'2 ~25 years old Human Pan and poly, in a happy polycule of 4 Madeleine's an ace pilot capable of getting the crew through the roughest environments. She’s a zero gravity girl, which means that she always moves as if in very low gravity, floating and flipping around as if she was in space or water, but having to land and jump again from time to time.

Her hair's always covering her eyes. She's cheerful and fun-loving, witty, and always down to have joke around! She's also smart, observant and fast-thinking, too. she has most of the crew’s sense of color braincells, so she gets the cool, funky outfits, and sometimes gently bullies them into also making an effort (I mean come on, guys, you’re gonna let the crew look bad?? No don’t answer that)

---------------------------------------

Joff Chkkrt (it's a cricket noise) He/They 6'4 ~35-40 years old Bug Man (shh i didnt name them yet) Bi and poly Joff is the crew's navigator and quartermaster. He’s bug alien whose design is inspired by crickets and grasshoppers, but with orchid mantis colors (for now. still tempted to do something like seasonal/molt-dependant coloring schemes gfjkldf). He's chronically sleep deprived and grumpy/exasperated, but not mean. He's a good dad to like a bunch of grubs, along with the other members of his hive/den. Sometimes he has a second pair or smaller arms and sometimes he doesn't, oops! He’s much stronger than he looks, too, which makes moving shit around in the storage much easier

--------------------------------------- Poppy Houx, gotta write her later when its not 3am. shes a plant lady and depending on the timeline shes Hiji’s girlfriend, thats important The captain, gotta write them also when its not 3am but ill be literally coming up with it on the spot

Day 8: Frail

He tries, but bugs can't put on muscle mass, Joff.

Joff Ch'krrt (cricket noise) the eternally tired, but proud, bug dad. He's the crew's navigator! And seems to have Schrodinger's second pair of arms oop

Inktober Day 1: Ring

Hiji was with someone before she left her deathworld of a planet and killed those responsible for her losses xenomorph style

Now they're with her always
