More Qi Doodles, This Time Featuring Hornet (and And Dad/babysitter Quirrel)!

Did you know that I do special redeems of character busts, which includes OC/sonas? These redeems come from my mod Fally, who requested their FFXIV avatar (who has been multiple races within the game, thus all the alternate versions).

I've really been enjoying doing these redeems. The wide variety of characters always keeps me on my toes and provides a fun challenge ♥

Ta-da~! Decided to make a design for what Underfell Alphys would look like wearing a formal dress. Also decided to go back to digital art, since I haven’t really done so in quite a while. I love the way it ended up turning out~

This was originally a doodle made for my RP blog @thebrokenlabnerd, but I ended up liking it so much I decided to upload it to this blog instead. Hope you guys like it!

More color palette challenges, this time with the Dreamers! Once again, the palettes are from @color-palettes and were chosen based on title

Monomon - Deep Sea Science

Herrah - I’m Sorry That I Left You There in the Darkness

Lurien - Are You Aware of My Presence, Watching and Unbreathing?

Headcanon: Monomon, Queen of the Oomas/Uomas

Monomon is the “Queen” of the jellyfish creatures that inhabit the Fog Canyon, but not in the traditional sense. She does not have a monarchy that she governs—She is the “Queen” that her “hive” serves and protects.

Like normal jellyfish, the oomas and uomas are like a bundles of nerves. They cannot see or hear, but they react to changing stimuli in the environment. The only one among them able to think independently, to see and hear the world around them: their queen, Monomon.

Before the rise of the Pale King, Monomon was incapable of higher thought. However, she was clearly more intelligent than the primal beasts that roamed the depths. She had a very strong sense of curiosity, which the King learned when he’d found a hidden stash of tomes and journals in her possession. Inspired by her desire to learn, he granted her higher thoughts along with the other bugs of Hallownest.

With her mind expanded, Monomon began to learn as much as she could about the world around her, including the nature of her jellies. She knew that they would respond to her mental state, but she didn’t know the specifics. There was clearly a pattern they would follow depending on her emotional state:

When she was happy or excited, they would gravitate to her and cling to anything around her. Her theory was that they wished to partake in whatever was causing her joy.

When she was upset, they would grab anything around them and bring it to her. She believed they are trying to cheer her up by presenting her with gifts.

When she is scared/angry, they turn hostile and attack anything that draws near. This seems to be a primal instinct to protect the queen when she senses danger.

It wasn’t until she took on her apprentice, Quirrel, that she was able to learn more about their behaviors. Since they behaved in response to her, there was no way for her to see how they reacted without her presence. But with Quirrel able to study them away from Monomon, he learned that the strength of the reactions that the jellies had was entirely dependent on their distance from Monomon. The further they were from her, the weaker their reaction. This has led Monomon to believe that she is unknowingly emitting pheromones out into the environment that they are sensing and responding to.

With this knowledge in hand, Monomon began an experiment to see if she could teach any of the jellies to ignore her pull or think somewhat independently of her. This would eventually lead to the creation of Uumuu—a being that was created solely for security purposes. It would be able to ignore her pulls so that it could remain vigilant, and had been taught to identify threats without Monomon having to identify them as such beforehand.

When Monomon became a Dreamer and was sealed away, it turned the Oomas/Uomas completely docile. Without their queen to guide them, they merely drift aimlessly, awaiting the call of their queen once more. The only exception: Uumuu, who still spends their days guarding the sleeping Monomon from any intruders who dare try to wake her. But with the infection slowly overcoming it, and without Monomon’s guiding tentacle, Uumuu has lost the capability to differentiate friend and foe. Even in the presence of a familiar face, it can only follow what it was trained to do:

Protect Monomon at all cost.

Allow me to amend that by dropping a random perspective practice doodle of the Conductor in his home, because yes

I've been celebrating OC Love month in my Discord and we've gotta celebrate the antagonists as much as the protagonists! So here we go, introducing another Bug Fables OC: Monarch, the Summer Azure Butterfly!

Admidst the war-torn Western lands, a bug appeared among them whose strength quickly became something to fear: A Summer Azure Butterfly by the name Monarch. A bug who seemingly appeared out of nowhere, Monarch began single-handedly leveling villages one by one using all sorts of wild magic. His reputation was quick to spread around, that an insect had somehow managed to master multiple types of magic and was using it to destroy everything in his path. Fire, electricity, poison, ice... He could control it all! With that incredible power, it seemed that conquest was easily within his grasps. When one city was leveled, he was already plotting to take down the next. Many bugs who have heard the tale wonder what drives him to such extremes. Is it powerlust? Greed? Vengence? But one theory prevailed among all of the rumors: That whatever it was, it was likely related to the crystals emerging from his shell and the large scar across his chest. What happened to this bug to cause him to turn out like this? Was he born a monster, or was he created to be one? But most importantly... When would his reign of terror end?

Some fun facts about Monarch:

Monarch is mentally incapable of sympathizing with his victims because he does not see them as being as human (bug??) as he is.

He believes that those who possess magic are above those who don't, though he still sees other magic-wielding bugs as beneath him.

Monarch is usually very level-headed and doesn't let emotions get in his way. The only time his emotions will ever overcome him is when faced with tightly-confining spaces, as Monarch has extreme claustrophobia.

There is only one bug who knows about his past. Monarch believes them to be alive, but has not seen them nor has any physical proof that they are still around.
