You're about to close on your very own, suspiciously affordable and comfortable house. Just before you sign the contract, the realtor shows you the required legal disclosure: your new house is haunted by the type of presence you'll get from this spinner wheel.
Of course it is.
GAME REVIEW FOR A DOODLE?

'The game centers around a neglected wizard-apprentice, who is only now stretching their legs in the world of Earrather. You’re going to be learning on-the-go how to prepare poultices, potions, spells, and enchantments for the people of a small and troubled, but idyllic northern town.'
check out the demo for 'Caldorn: Resident Enchanter' on itch.io
send in a review in the appropriate 'tumblr feedback' thread over there
send a dm on here (or discord) n' you'll get a lil doodle of a character of your choosing for your time!
CROW FUCK YEEAAAHHH
good news! you're an animorph! bad news! you didn't know about the two-hour limit and got stuck in your first morph, which is whatever this wheel lands on
You've been isekai'd into a fictional setting. Spin this wheel to find out which one.
--the... the daycare--- the day... the --- day.... these bots have me in a fucking chokehold
the dirt man and ocean man are the opposite ends of the same spectrum
gonna start posting my artfight attacks once the mods fix the hellsite /lh ♡
gonna make this a lil thread for all of 'em :]
been on a clown roll lately! here are some color-experimentation sketches along with my self-insert... oc? thingy? for @bamsara's Solar Lunacy universe!! I've been binging that shit for about a week straight- and the brainrot is real... (more rambles under the cut)
I've become an actual irl menace to my partner about sun/moon -related content because of Solar Lunacy :'D just- binging videos, playlists, fics, all that jazz! i haven't been more energetic/happy in a long while tho, and - even as a fictional character - bamsara's sun is hella infectious >:] i might probably clean up the doodle below- but for this being my first time drawing the daycare attendants its-- ok :] the absolute struggle i had with trying to figure out which side of their chassis' are colored-- and the poses gave me such trouble :sob: the little name-tag card in the middle was originally designed by bamsara (as you can see here), but i wanted to try and give my own little color-spin on it! <3 -- Other than that! the little fella in the top-right corner is an absolutely adorkable little cutie i found at the bottom of a bowl! (see the lil button image of him w/ his little flute-thingy) and i so had to draw him ;O; lil goober that i still need to try and make more skrunkly, somehow...
worldbuilding thoughts #1
juggalo/clown peacemakers :)
for my world, im so gonna make a group of juggalo, or juggalo-adjacent folk who are the main law-enforcement in a whole-ass region...
inspired by the fact that a lot of gangs have relations to the juggalo, even though the gangs have beef between themselves... juggalos are the stabilizing factor
also by homestuck, but thats neither here nor there :)
should i make a separate blog for my avatar docs/toyhou.se/screenshots shit? and keep this as a self-indulgent fanart blog?
very much agree with this... growing to appreciate your body and self with little things at a time..
dont usually reblog stuff on main, but this is really important ♡♡
The whole self love thing is good and all but some people can’t fathom being loved. They can’t imagine there being anything good about them. So they can’t simply just stop doing unhealthy things, there’s a process.
pics of my sona (syu'evi) in frontiers! finally managed to gather my final look!
bunch more screenshots of npcs, environments etc. under the cut!
mm okul my beloved ♡ along with relun, who grew on me, and a random kame'tire member who i met near meadow's edge field lab.. such a pretty lad in a pretty place (further screenshots below)
i absolutely adore the lush greenery of the Kinglor Forest - and flying around with your ikran, or finding the occasional direhorse is always a blast! plus, the surprising diversity and recognizability of the different biomes is so wonderfully executed ♡
oh man, the upper plains... the colors immediately struck me- especially around the crimson biomes, and the purple steppe! along with the environment, the zeswa have such a wonderful type of artistry to them! dancing, singing, painting! absolutely gorgeous ♡♡
and of course, who could forget the clouded forest ♡♡♡♡ man, such a different biome from what we've seen in the franchise so far -- and it did Not dissappoint! wonderful areas, gorgeous colors, and the atmosphere is so clear and recognisable! you can almost feel the humidness in the air ⊹
going for something a little different, but- we'll see who this reaches!
a lil sneak-peek of a google docs im working on! i've been a bit of a hard time trying to find materials in Avatar Frontiers, and the fact that all the maps are half fogged-up on every website kinda annoys me ^^' so i planned on making my own!
every single item will be on the docs, and right now i have almost 70 items on the list! (still gotta do full wiki pages like with the two images on top...)
anyhow! send over a message if you want early access to the docs! ♡
most of the pages look like the image on the right- but i think its plenty of info to locate materials! (the rest of the stuff is mostly descriptions/technical info from the hunter's guide)
I plan to make a Fakemon inspired by Wolfwalkers, their humans who can leave their bodies and become wolf-like pokemon when they sleep.
How would I design them
Oh, thats a really cool idea!! ♡ I'm not really one for giving advice on design principles, but I'll try and jot down some thoughts on what I'd do if I were to design that sorta fakemon... :]
Suppose you'd still wanna keep the pokemon-style. In that case, I'd look at some already wolf-ish pokemon as reference -- if you would like for them to be quadrupedal (on four legs) like poochyena or lycanrock, or bipedal (on two legs) like zoroark or lucario? Figure out how human you'd want their pokemon-forms to be! This is also a great place to take inspiration from other sources too; digimon or other media, fantasy creatures, historical depictions of werewolves, mythical wolves in general, etc! You can make them more wolf-like, or try exaggerating some of the features - longer or shorter legs, bodies, extra appendages, ears, tails - whatever you want! Next, I'd go for themes- would you want for them to have a typical sort of full-moon, uncontrolled transformation? Would this show up in their design in any way (scraps of clothing, stretch marks, or more human-like base features)? Or would you rather have it more fluid and magical, like in Wolfwalkers - and how would this relate to their design (swirling patterns like Robyn and Mebh when they use druidic magic, some sort of magical aura, or other magical traits)? You can also go for more common themes like sleep, the moon, plantlife, claws, and eyes, and try to make this something that stands out for your fakemon! - Like if you look at lycanrock's base form, that's very clearly a wolf with rocks. Meanwhile, a pokemon like Musharna doesn't really... seem like a tapir - the animal it's most likely based on - but it very well conveys the aspect of Sleep in its design!
The themes and source material can also influence a lot of your color choices! (warm like the woods in Wolfwalkers, or more cold like the night-sky) Figuring out the limits and how far you can stretch your design while keeping it recognizable is a really fun challenge, and something that doodling could help with! References, feedback and multiple iterations are also a great part of the process!
Anyhows- hope that helps a little, and thank you sm for sending over the question! ♡
more art in the same day??? man, im just clearing out my backlog of art and yall won't hear of me for another 3 months lmao anyhows!! any of yall seen wolfwalkers?? i would die for that movie so bad-- cartoon saloon really knocked it outta the park w/ this one... drew me n' my best friend over as wolfwalkers - little wolf shapeshifters ♡ backgrounds are from the movie itself, i had nothin' to do with those :]
man, i've been reading bramblePatch's Miracle Child for a good bit now-- and i can't stop imagining the adult trolls (GHB, Blackice, etc.) as almost double the height of the teen/ya trolls... Might make a small doodle later... also WOAH! homestuck jumpscare :] also also- working on a self-insert/oc >:]< might share and rant heheheh
ok-- i finished the season last night.. and i am in shambles ;__;
like- the series was there for me through a lot of stuff, and has given me so much.. it's so unreal to think that.. that's it :')
i wanna give all the characters a hug...
luke pearson, you've stolen my soul
Watched the first ep of the new Hilda season with my bf- as a treat- and I have so many thoughts 👁️👁️
spoilers under the cut for the 1st ep
First off, I truly wonder how much of a challenge the Pooka was to design for the animators :'D just trying to get all of his shapes right- to keep it consistent, yet still, always, looking like him...
Second, theres something wonky going on with Johanna and Astrid 🤔 the note at the end about Johanna forgetting- and Astrid's awfully convenient little distraction... Somethings up 👁️👁️
to start off my proper tumblr, my little rant-haven for my ocs - have a stimboard!
this was the first one i made ever, so i didn't quite get the colors how i liked 'em... but one only learns through practice :] 𓍊 𓋼 𓍊 𓋼 𓍊 𓋼 𓆏 𓋼 𓍊 𓍊 𓋼 𓍊 𓋼 𓍊 𓋼 𓍊 𓍊 𓋼 𓆏 𓋼 𓍊 𓍊 𓋼 𓍊 𓋼 𓍊 ⍋ sources ⍋ | x | x | x | | x | o | x | | x | x | x |
