When the System Collapse cover was revealed a little while ago, the discord was having a field day pointing out details on the cover and speculating about what they meant, with varying levels of silliness, and I drew this mock version of the cover to summarize all our commentary! It's very serious art as you can tell XD
The annotated version, pointing out the changes I made based on discord comments about the cover:
Sincere apologies to Jaime Jones and Christine Foltzer, the cover artist and cover designer for the actual (stunning) System Collapse cover. And also to anyone who isn't on the discord and has absolutely no context for this. I have no explanation
(This is the first piece of art I've ever posted to Tumblr and I would like to state that it is not reflective of my artistic skill. I promise I can actually draw lol. Also, since someone already asked me if they could do this: if you would like to print this out and use it as a dust jacket for your actual copy of System Collapse when it comes out, absolutely. I'm not entirely sure why you'd want to, but be my guest 😂 And send me a picture!)

I have a pointless headcanon that the Elgyem line has become commonplace enough in Galar that they’re considered common pests to farmers the same way Murkrow are. some Galarian farmer wakes up in the middle of the night to find a Beheeyem stealing his Wooloo and his only reaction to the space alien is to go ‘NOT AGAIN’ and swat it with a broom

This is kinda a weird question, but how do you simplify your designs for vash and wolfwood (specifically their clothes and hair?) I’m trying to get better at drawing them and I love how you stylize them!
not a weird question at all!! i kind of try to stay true to nightow's design, so i don't think i'm simplifying a whole bunch, but i'll talk about how i got comfortable drawing them.
i tackled their designs by just referencing a lot. with trimax vw, i just started copy + pasting pages from the manga onto a slideshow and staring at it vehemently whenever i wanted to draw them, SPECIFICALLY vash. and for trimax vash, if you want to stay true to the arcs/outfit changes, that's something you have to note because vash has 4 main different outfits throughout the manga.
for me, my vw usually takes place after the leonef arc, so that's the vash outfit i reference. i recommend going through the specific arc of the vash you want to draw and gathering a whole bunch of pic references into a slide or compiling it on an imageboard, it'll help a ton once you get the general gist of it down!! nightow will draw things differently too though so don't feel too boggled by the references and focus on making things comfortable for yourself. here's an example slideshow of vash from the first arc
wolfwood is pretty shaped and has a straightforward design... if you can simplify a black suit, you got wolfwood down to the t. this is my single slideshow of wolfwood for his outfit. i also like to just study his body language because it's kind of peculiar
his shoes are dress shoes with laces and got a pointed tip to them! i'd look up real dress shoes to reference from, it's like the same thing
in regards to their hair... there are some days where i'm comfortable drawing their hair and then others where i collapse and die for my efforts. they both are just spikes ultimately... i try to keep true to how nightow draws it, but with vash's hair, sometimes i make it a bit swooshy because it feels better naturally to me. this isn't necessarily a guide but here's a headshot and some notes of what i try to keep consistently in my drawings of them.
for stampede, the designs themselves are super simplified aside from vash's prosthetic arm. when i was learning to draw the tristamp designs, i reference this doc a lot! it's very helpful, i think i generally stay pretty true to stampede's original design aside from wolfwood's hair. here's a headshot for them too
but yeah!! i think that's all i can say on that, i hope it was helpful and i wish you luck on figuring out how to draw them!! after repeatedly doing it, it will get easier 👍

sometimes I’ll see some absolutely gorgeous, life-changing, stunning, fucking perfect ofmd fanart and I’m completely overcome with a feral desire to shove it directly in the face of david or taika or whoever. like I NEED them to see that shit so bad it hurts

I've been making a lot of blankets for christmas gifts lately and my current favorite thing to do is work on the new blanket while under 3 or 4 of the other blankets until the in-progress is added to the stack
I'm just like lmao...some guy, so it's very very Very funny to me how "luxury good" a large crocheted blanket is bc in my mind I'm outsmarting Big Blanket™ by slapping chenille around until it's a big squishy floppy sheet of chenille. Calculated the price for a full/double size blanket I'm working on and the lowball came out to like $400 👽 thank god I'm the little washer woman in the village that knows how to weave or whatever bc I would never be able to afford buying smth like this ☠️
Anyway, the yarn is fun to squish while you work and this pattern is my current favorite to make:
Godspeed my fellow guys who are just washer women making fabrics in the village.
