Hello, hope y'all are doing well! (^^)/ Wanted to make a quick post to let y'all know that my annual January curse has breeched containment and I'm currently in the middle of organizing sudden household repairs and unexpected medical appointments and miscellaneous stress sgdfgh-- 🫠 All that to say: no new video this week while I'm stuck grappling with all of the above sgdfksfd -- but here's a doodle of Heartless in the meantime! I wanna figure out a more solid design for his ghouls 🤔👻

scary canary

Do you know much about the immortal jellyfish?

Probably as much as the average person! Well, besides the fact that I can recall its scientific name without looking it up, Turritopsis dohrnii (okay I admit, I put the “h” in the wrong spot). It can revert back to its polyp stage from its free-swimming medusa stage, which is super cool! But you must already know that, since you asked ^^’

Ever heard of Vex from Sackboy : A Big Adventure? He's a real charmer.....

Oh him

No I haven’t actually,

but so far he looks like if Clopin from Hunchback of Notre Dame and the Boogieman from The nightmare before Christmas had a child somehow dnjdfjdjf

anyways have this I decided to snatchify this character cause you know what he’s kind of neat

Have a good day

20, 25, 35 for art asks?

Hi topsy :D 20. is your workspace, digital or not, organized (not neat, organized)? yessss it's pretty good.! I have had the fortune of getting monitors for free so i have 4 monitor settup (one of them being my display tablet, and one i bought myself) so I have two monitors for references, and one for videos/music. and i got my CSP setup on lock

almost all the tools i regularly use have obscure modifier hotkeys/keybinds that i set on this.. gamer.. keyboard.. thing..

I bought this because i was giving myself carpel tunnel raiding in ffxiv but its also pretty good for art hotkeys! I just have to assign some weird things -- like, "scroll up" is my gaussian blur ajsdjkfa I used to have a sticky note which shows what each button does but i can't find it.. Well, it's all muscle memory now. Modifier keys and keybinds make you so wicked fast at digital art. They are really worth putting the effort into setting up!

25. what size canvas/paper do you use?

pretty big.. Drawing at low resolution is so painful for me so i start at this and go larger as needed, and then when i'm all done I reduce it to the 1,000px - 1,500px range. This is in no way efficient but i cant bring myself to change.

35. if you had one piece of advice to give your younger artist self, what would it be?

Unfortunately, Getting Good™ really is just practice. Past me did not like this tip one bit. But its true. Also though, use references and do studies!!! it really does make for a world of difference!!! Ask game

Hmmmm. Well, the Pages asks were interesting. Going for a character you haven't talked about much: Topsy King, 1, 9, 11, 25

1. Why do you like or dislike this character?

Victorian lit has a complicated relationship with mental health and the concept of “madness.” I like that The Topsy King, while definitely styled like a “quirky madman,” has motivations, makes choices, and is comprehensible. You just gotta translate it.

9. Could you be roommates with this character?

We’d fight too much over storage space. Weirdly enough, we’d both want it for cramming paintings into. His stolen oil-medium goodies and my would-be watercolor masterpieces.

11. Would you date this character?

Are you kidding? I’m not in his league.

25. What was your first impression of this character? How about now?

I thought he was great! Got the best of the Fagin vibes without the unfortunate stuff. The rhyming slang was charming, and you gotta love a guy with an eye for fine art.

Learning his backstory definitely grabbed me by the heart. He’s still living and thriving by his new terms, but augh. He can never be who he was. And even when his mind wanders, it hurts him. Augh.

If I get beaten to the punch of asking for Topsy in c5 OTL

If nobody else got me I know Shane got me can I get an AMEN

Outfit prompts

Rosa and May designs for my wonkass topsy turvy au!!

hello hello! it’s been awhile hasn’t it 8′) i hope everyone has been enjoying their adventures into paldea while i’ve been away! ♡ i hope to be back here very soon; i’ve missed you all and volo’s antics very muchly.

Daring Charming wasn't one to let a damsel in distress continue being in distress, so when he saw Raven Queen of all people running down the roads of Bookend, he decided to follow her, but for fairy's sake she was faster than she looked. While he kept up nicely, he had lost her in the crowd right after passing the Mad Hatter's Tea Shop.

He pushed his way through the crowd, hoping to see a glimpse of his purple haired classmate, but she seemed to have gotten out of his line of sight for good. Daring sighed, a frown forming on his lips. What in Ever After could have Raven running as if her life depended on it? The blond wasn't sure, but it couldn't be good.

Instead of stopping his search, Daring quickly texted his siblings, informing them of what had just occurred and telling them to keep an eye out for her. He continued at a brisk pace towards Ever After High, hoping that's where she had ended up going.

That's when he saw her again, standing halfway up the staircase to the school, tying her shoes. A sudden urge to run after her coursed through his veins, but his legs wouldn't move, as if he had been glued to the spot he was standing in. He watched her race up the steps, trying to get his body to work with him and allow him to catch up to her, but nothing happened, not until the school's clock tower chimed that it was noon.

Daring Charming is now open for asks. . . ?

Can we please see his legs neloth legbpls

Ok sure!

i saw that ask about RI in the Neath and I'd like to ask you who do you think the event operators would be

oh definitely at least one master. like. come on. you can't have an imaginary crossover and not have a playable master for kicks

6 questions

This post brought to you by @thana-topsy; cheers for tagging me! Hopefully you'll get a few chuckles out of it..!

RULES: answer the questions then tag some folx you want to get to know better/catch up with.

Last Song: Like a lot of you here, I listen to a lot of game music; in general, ambient music is my preferred music for work/writing, since in the field it's easier to hear people talking if there isn't someone else talking... And for writing, words just get distracting. Anyway, I'm cheating here, a bit... Song ft. Vox; Air - Sex Born Poison (the line 'Prince from the Biomass' lives rent free in my head) Song sans Vox; Desiderii Marginis - The Sweet Hereafter (just full of feelings mostly...) Song (gaming games for gamers); Chapter 1 Epilogue, Limbus Company (I'm a huge fan of this company's works. They're very literary and just the right level of obtuse. But even still, what a wild ride this was... Oh, spoilers I suppose...)

Last Show: Television? Anime? What are those? Haha, no, I kid, I kid. I just generally place anything I can't consume at my own pace pretty low, you know..? Let's see, uh... I think it was old Sailor Moon. Dubbed, of course. The only way to watch.

Currently Watching: Isn't this really the same questions as above? Gawoaoaoh!? How am I supposed to answer?! I'm in a pickle, the last movie I watched, uh, hrmn, uh... Probably a horror film, probably Body Count, 1986. I'd link the trailer, but I think it's probably too much for tumblr dot com. You should look it up, though, horror is so dumb. (I say, affectionately.)

Currently Reading: Due to life having kicked my teeth so hard I'm talking through my gums, right now, I've mostly just been reading whatever I can take with me to work, so material literature only. Sorry, I'm luddite. I'm on my nth re-read of The Alexiad, and it angers me so much that a certain power is trying to - take the legacy of Ana Komnena (dreamy sigh) for their own. I've also been thumbing through my local birder's guide, as well as a book of regional mushroom varieties. I'm preparing. Also the Making of Doom 3 design book to cross-reference things. What else, hrmn... A friend of mine picked up a pulp sci-fantasy bundle, and it made me want to re-read The Dungeon series. But there's a lot in it, more then I can recommend here, so poke me if you want questionably-written swords, sandals, lasers, and who-knows-what-else recommendations.

Current Obsession: I feel a bit bad, I don't really obsess over - wait, wait, re-do. My WIFE (fictional) [hoarse croaking] More seriously, I don't really obsess over any one media. I love everything lots, and tend to go back to things that I didn't love 'the most' and revisit them even if they were only somewhat important to me. Similarly, even when I love a media, medium, or idea, it's somewhat at a distance. I realise that's quite disappointing to people, but I'm kind of laid-back. Always have been. Let's see if I can still find an interesting answer to this one, though... Oh, actually, it's not an obsession, but I'm obsessed in trying to promote it? The problem is, it's entirely - I feel like if you aren't a child of slavic descent who had bootleg consoles and enjoyed faerie tales and mushrooms, it's probably a hard sell, ahaha... Mushroom Musume is hard to describe. It's the perfect game for people who might have roughly time for one (1) level in ye old Boomer Shooter, but are feeling in the mood for faerie tales. And that's basically what it is; a faerie-tale simulator. It can be a light-hearted, even treacle-sweet story, one that's a little scary, something dark or melancholy, or a combination of all of the three. Sometimes, things that feel like failures are unique steps in that story that turn new pages; and this, combined with the incredible amount of choice and options available, makes it one of the coolest indie games I've stumbled upon. The score is hauntingly beautiful, the art and writing are divine, and short of mystical birds, it's got basically everything I grew up with. (Now one of the devs'll poke me that there are, in fact, mystical birds, probably.) You start as a recluse hermit, raise a mushroom-hominid as your daughter, and then play as said myconoid, just trying to live life. It's a simple joy of a game, and one I'll recommend to my dying breath.

Unrelated Obsession Stuff I've Been Doing: Again, sorry, I'm not really - even the stuff I love, I'll be like, well, 'that's enough of that, then, time to do something else' bahahahaha...

Re-playing Doom 2016; I'm looking forward to Routine, since apparently Mick Gordon did the score for it, and I thought the project was dead. There are still some flaws I have with it as a whole, but it's good fun.

Occasionally playing Civilisation... 3. With Rise and Rule. Listen, my entire family loves turn-based strategy. I really like how Civ 3 and ESPECIALLY R&R handled climate change, yeah? Complexity is often good. Also, I like games I can play for a few turns, thirty minutes over a cuppa, and then save and quit. I know the joke is 'one more turn' but for me it's 'ah, perfect for a lunch break.'

My cousin threatened said that we'll be playing GAUNTLET: DARK LEGACY on the nintendo gamecub (r) (tm) this weekend assuming that bit rot hasn't taken it's toll. It may not be a 'good' game. But if you're telling me you don't hear this and get amped...

Keeping friends and family from further complicating things in their lives.

Faffing about with writing; I'm also a read/writing mode only person, and if I have to choose between reading fics or writing, the latter wins out. If I don't spill a tiny amount of blood/ink I instantly explode, it's known. Ideally, people will make better decisions into the future and I will have more time. But if not, at least we'll always have TES...

Please don't feel obligated to do this sort of thing, but if you wanna have at it... I'll tag @zombiecatboys, @kulgen, @pikkish, @expended-sleeper, @totally-not-deacon, @beloved-lady-alma, @lyriumspectre, @thattalviel and anyone else who might possibly want it. Legitimately, I've never been good at telling what the proper etiquette is, especially when I'm like - 'wowowowowowo! quizzes awesome!' but know how - tiring that can get, bahaha!

3, 9, and 16 for the Spread Love ask game!

One of the best takes you’ve ever seen

I’ve only just seen this take and reblogged it but the idea that being nearly executed would give the Dragonborn a whopping amount of trauma. Not only just that, but so much horrendous shit happens to our player characters in the games but it never gets explored because we’re supposed to be these vague figures with no discernible feelings. Nobody ever asks the PC how they’re doing and I really think they need it!

Your favourite fanon

I believe you also answered this question as the same but OBVIOUSLY it’s going to be Nerevarine Teldryn. I mean, check the name, to me he is the Nerevarine, no questions asked. He met Saint Jiub once, you know! I mean come on.

One of your favourite tropes 

Answered that here so I’ll answer for another but I’m an enemies to lovers advocate. Say, LDB x Miraak! But a step up from that? Enemies AND lovers. “I hate you to the point of obsession and it’s pissing me off bc I’m supposed to be praying on your downfall.” It’s a very guilty ship of mine, but Vestige x Mannimarco fits that criteria to some degree.

Topsy turvy au Anabel :-] her Munna is named pillowpet and she makes her treats.
