Wanted to doodle @0mochi0 ‘s Pimpi because I loved the design and they ended up being a color test dummy too, hahahaha…

I’ve been fiddling with a few different rendering options to go with my inks but haven’t really settled on what I want but this came out better than I had expected so I’ve got more gumption to try!

Fancy fvck. I need to implement more fluffy stuff on some of my OCs outfits, hahahaaaa!

Was trying out the export feature to tumblr so this random impending doom brought to you by…moi.

I drew this pretty fast and I guess wanted to show how that works in video form so there ya go.

Actually idea inspired by a talk where there wasn’t much in the way of smaller/drones x smaller/drones so uh…

I’m sure they are having a very pleasant conversation about the weather. Probably.

any and all "fandom drama" that isn't actually interpersonal ideological conflict filtered through the lens of guy from shows is completely unserious if you take even a moment to zoom out. like we are straight up playing with our toys WHAT is there to get mad about.

[archetypal-ergo]

I’ve doodled a couple other sketches with Zim; so another to add to the razor tooth muppet bug alien roster.

Was checking some of Mark Brooks’ recent art so got inspired by Comic Book ish stuff.

…also “Momma said Knock you Out” by LL Cool J had some inspiration too, hahahahahaa…!

[archetypal-ergo]

Been posting more on Bluesky but! I gotta post more things here too I ‘spose…! I just suck at social media hopping, haha…

Fiddling with colors and inks.

Random Irken and a tentative additional Vortian to add to my every growing collection of “wtf is going on here” character list.

His outfit came out looking more peacock colored unintentionally and I’m here for it. I was thinking of naming him Hastur but he needs to be yellow so, I’m gonna change that up to one of the Vortian Regents…

If you get that reference then you get mad props, hahahaha!

Will you tell me about cruel gods? Nothing specific about them, just... general things

This question actually made me sit down and think because I really wasn’t sure how to answer it. Thank you for sending it in.

Cruel gods are proud, they demand nothing less than everything within you. When your knees give out and your chest aches from sobbing your prayers through clenched teeth, then they are satisfied. Understanding of the divine comes from agony.

They are silent, always looking on, always watching the roads before you as you choose and choose again, until you no longer can understand which path is easier or which path is kinder. All roads are narrow and dangerous and eventually the stones will stop cutting your feet open.

Cruel gods smile when you fail, because they know that in the blink of an eye you will remember who you are and see the strength in your shoulders rise up. They did not teach you suffering for nothing.

They demand sacrifice of the most dear. Sometimes never to be returned because if it was something that you could live without, then it wasn’t as necessary as you believed. And while the hunger twists your belly and your heart into knots you could never hope to untangle, they are subtly sharpening the blades in your bones. Sometimes the best choice is to cut it loose.

Cruel gods point you to the places to test you, the places where you prove yourself again and again. Cruel gods look on as you pray, because they know that you have taught yourself how to survive and that your prayers are reminders to yourself more than anything else.

Without context is for the best. My Ambassador pair, Lith and Apollo…Lul.

She sure is upset about something… :3

Sketch blurb of Red yelling off scene. For the lulz. Want to ink; sketched a million things…only post like one. Har.

Trying to not be as reclusive on here and attempting Bluesky as well … not against Twitter either but eh; it’s pretty bloated as far as I can tell and I use it mostly for philosophical stuff and silicone collecting anyway.

ANYWAY! He is just the worst Tallest in my Grimdark AU but hiiiiiiilarious.

I need more time that isn’t work.

Tarot card commission for @gingerbreadart1 Cho as the Devil and Meva as the star (reversed)🌟

Process under the cut!

[archetypal-ergo]

My newest crafting project~ Made from needle felt and my cat‘s hair, mostly.

Process under the cut!

I got one of these promotional wooden TVs from a local book store, then cut out parts of it. Lots of sanding with my nail file because the store was out of sanding paper(??)

Anno is mostly craft felt cut into shape and recolored with needle felt. The thick parts (like the helmet) are two layers of felt stuffed with wool.

The beaded chain has been a vision of mine for years so it had to be in this.

Pepi tried to eat my project several times. But she was a 10/10 emotional support.

[archetypal-ergo]

I have a very strange crazy IZ AU; for now I leave you only to wonder what is happening.

Maybe I’ll post more…tis a mystery!🙃

do u ever just

[archetypal-ergo]

I was going bananas over wanting to do a full render of this guy who is now Nimbus from my original Alien story before I got sucked back into IZ town to ruin it with my own vision of darkness and Empires.

From a larger sketch I haven’t posted but can sorta see the durp doo ref to the side. I wanted to show how big the Tallest are in my ‘verse so I’ll put that up later. Featuring my version of General Tallest Spork because reasons.

I need capes and sharp shoulder pads to live. You can’t see his snaggle tooth, but it’s there.

[archetypal-ergo]

I’m still figuring out tumblr because they changed it from when I used it ages ago. So uh; thanks for likes and looking at these ridiculous horrors. My imagination is a meat grinder of Universal Cthonic Nightmare fuel.

I mostly dabble in my grimdark AU with random fan art here and there of canon and OCs of peeps I know and talk with.

[archetypal-ergo]

Guess I better put my OCs up here and horrify the World.

Csar (Czar back in early ‘00s respectively…ugh…I got old art so I might post that later…) and Ergo…my power couple, haha. Csar is actually pretty laid back…Ergo is…

Uh…the essence of Problematic. Can’t you tell?

I had to drop the lines and flats too to show the bases…I was really not ready for this when I finished it because I honestly haven’t done colors in so long I was shook. That happens when you don’t draw things for a few years…😭

Anyway; Ergo pushes like Jareth/Prince vibes with his movements but will absolutely go full on testosterone roid rage something fierce.

More Lore later I guess when I finally finish their refs…

My AU has a lot of Military type Roman Empire sorta stuff going on so they were both in the Military like literally everyone else.

I’m also obsessed with capes and sharp pointy shoulder pads and wild neck collars. Good times.

[archetypal-ergo]

Aww, it’s Aka! Thanks to @khaliarart I’ve been sucked back into IZ after being dormant since like 2003…?

Was heavy into it when it came out and I was in HS. AKA I’m pretty old. Haha.🙃

But now my style is horrifying though I guess I can draw cute stuff sometimes.

…even if impending doom is in the red light on the second slide.

:3

And color…wow. I’m still working on figuring out how I WANT to color stuff but uh…yeah. Hard to fiddle faddle when you work a lot lol.
