making salem in as many picrews as possible- most demon, some human, one plushy and one warrior cat. idk what came over me to give him spiked collars in most of them he would never wear anything like that lmao.

suuuuuuuuuuuper old art of my most favoritest little guy in the world
it's so messy but I still like it and posting old art is a good way to see improvement- also I think my blog needs a break from one piece and dungeon meshi lmao.
I loved the laios shimeji from @tumatawa so much that I spent like 15 hours making a little Salem one. he is so silly I'm a bit obsessed. look at him. my little borblo.. living on my computer.. that I can throw around whenever I want. I highly recommend making your own shimeji it was actually so fun- and you get a little guy at the end!!
my favorite frames (and so you can see the higher quality lmao) ↘
his dangle legs animation is him letting out his little wings! he gotta stretch them once in a while :3
he's so wonderful. when I'm on Pinterest he looks like he's very confused about what I'm looking at, or he's waiting so patiently to ask a question... I love this guy
Desktop Laios is finally finished… download (runs on Shimeji-ee)
guh .. guhah. gwuaa.. I .. I've finally done it .. I'm caught up with thw.. the English dub of one piece .... I'm sorry but I'm kind of a pussy and prefer the English dub of most anime... am I not a real fan.. I kinda feel like a fake fan. it definitely has something to do with me basically being illiterate and not being able to read captions lmao. I will have to push through tho- I gotta get to post Wano because I really wanna read one fanfiction I've had bookmarked forever. also I've been spoiled on gear 5 luffy for a hot minute .. I need to catch up. on the upside I get to hear Sanji call Zoro a marimo <3
ITS PILLBUG CHILLCHUCK!!! BUGCHUCK!!!! CHILBUG!!!! PILLCHUCK!!!! teketekatekateketekateka (<- sound of him skittering across the floor)
this started out as a joke design but then i got really invested halfway through
(inspired by @buniix3's hc on this post and the many jokes about him being a bug)
as a side note, an explanation on a pun thats just for me : "teka" means "wait" or "hold on" in Filipino, but it also happens to be an onomatopoeia for bug/skittering noises, so when hes saying "teka! teka!" hes practically making bug sounds despite it being an actual word HAHAHA
+ some design notes :
- his two hair thingys on his head became antenna (<- as if they werent practically antenna already)
- his bag is/resembles a monkey cup (a plant shaped like a pitcher that lures prey in with nectar until they slip and fall into the "cup" and get digested - similar to that man-eating plant in ep. 2)! also i wanted to make it vaguely similar to the frog suit, just because i like that outfit and i feel that it should be memorialized
- i dont think this is true to actual pillbugs, but i made him have claw-like (or maybe hoof-like is more fitting) hands and feet because uhhh i thought itd be fun, + ants have them im pretty sure
- the open toed shoes are mostly because i wanted to show the hoofs but you could also reason that its for dexterity/agility purposes
anyways i like him... buggo.... beady ass eyes... love that guy
