Sometimes the simping hits you, okay?

Kade Roth Reference

My sweet, charismatic steampunk guy. Where do I even begin with Kade? He's an artificer with a knack for magical firearms and machinery. His lifelong dream was to invent a way to fly, so he eventually built an airship from scratch that could sail the skies.

He began as a character in Chloe the Tavernkeeper's backstory that I created out of necessity. I had begun thinking about why she was so closed off and had a sort of aversion to making new friends, and I decided that she needed someone in her past that she opened up to, only to lose them. At the time, I wasn't sure if that meant they would betray her or if she would literally lose them. Eventually, I landed on the latter.

Kade Roth's story with Chloe was inspired by a real experience I had on the Galactic Starcruiser, that super expensive Star Wars hotel that Disney made a few years ago. I was lucky enough to attend and fell deep into one of the character's storyline: Raithe Kole. He was a scoundrel and recruited me to be his right hand woman for a heist he was pulling on the cruise ship.

That story alone sparked what would become Chloe the Tavernkeeper's backstory with Kade Roth. In brief: they worked at the Nightreach together (thieves organization), became good friends, sort of became more than friends but never really addressed it directly, and then they were sent on a mission together. That mission? Pulling a heist on a zeppelin. Except unlike the heist I pulled on the Halcyon with Raithe, this heist went very very wrong. In the end, Kade didn't make it out alive. Distraught, Chloe ran away from her life at the Nightreach and blocked herself out from the world. It was during this time of grief that she found the means to create The Scarlet Owl Tavern, and thus created the place that we all know and love now.

I created Kade to be a combination of many of my favorite characters and someone that would be the perfect partner for Chloe Tavernkeeper (you know, to make losing him hurt even more). This worked out a little too well, since now I (and many others) adore him so much that I am distraught he's canonically dead. That doesn't stop us from putting him in AUs though!

He did make one canon appearance in Journey to the Center of the Mind, since that took place in Chloe the Tavernkeeper's brain Psychonauts-style. It was the first time I had ever revealed him to my tavern group, and their reactions were worth the year of secrecy I suffered as I developed his character.

"Yu'll never catch me, ya peck necks!"

A piece I did for the AHiT art prompt "racing"! I suppose the "race" here could be interpreted in two ways... one, where Conductor is literally racing against these bandits, or two, that by making this film Conductor is racing toward the finish line of the Annual Bird Movie Awards. Either way, he sure is racing.

This is a companion piece to my Starry Night prompt submission, as they're meant to be from the same film.

WIPs below the cut!

We did it. Scarlet Owl Tavern Gravity Falls AU.

Obviously Chloe takes the place of Stanford Pines because of course I would. I mean, why do you think I wear this red turtleneck in the first place?

Marion is her Stan in this AU and god their story hurts me so bad. I love it.

Bonus Defect Bill because he haunts me to this day.

[chloedoesart]

When the Book of Bill came out, there was a trend on the r/GravityFalls discord server where people would change their pfps to their OCs being possessed by Bill!

Of course, as someone who shook his hand back in 2016, he's been possessing me on and off ever since, so it was only fitting that I jumped on the bandwagon.

Clean version (no distortion/noise) below the cut vvv

My name is still warning: doodles and simping so you can't expect me to not post some self-insert stuff every once in a while.

Bik Bazinga, private investigator and tinkerer extraordinaire.

I had the pleasure of playing in a lovely Toonkind game earlier this year where I was given a name, background, and a descriptor word. They were "Bik", "investigator", and "gears" respectively. Using those for inspiration, I came up with this silly little bee fairy!

He turned out to be insanely chaotic and whimsical, and I thoroughly enjoyed bringing him to life. Thanks to @steamed-tets for running the game!

[chloedoesart]

Title cards from The Scarlet Owl Tavern!

The first two were from a set of games with some pretty heavy plot points. I'm pretty proud of those games! And yes, that is a Psychonauts psi-portal on the second one. Tee hee.

The last one is the silly Wonderland Twins inspired birthday game that I held with my birthday buddy @cherrppi! They did their character on the right, Story, as well as the epic lighting.

[chloedoesart]

Did you need some Chloe Tavernkeeper and Defect doodles? No? Well too bad, here they are.

A couple of these are from AUs, like the Chloe/Defect blends in the bottom left.

[chloedoesart]

Some AHiT AU and Condoe RP doodles!

[chloedoesart]

Defect posting. Sorry not sorry.

Credit to @bembwashere and @luisalecto for the Defect "beware" poster drawings.

"Dr. Nickolas Juniper, but please, call me Nick."

With all of the Gravity Falls hype, I figured there would be no better time then the present to introduce my Ford Pines expy that I play in Toonkind D&D!

He is an Order of the Awakened Monk with strange hands (that have 5 fingers so that it's not a direct rip-off, I know I know, tragic) that seem to be made of toon ink, despite the rest of him being genetically Reelkind. He has claws can use to defend himself, as well as to write in his journal, since they're made of ink!

His journal often gives him hints about his current situation and seems to almost predict the future, although he isn't quite sure how. His life goal is to investigate the Toonkind race and the unique abilities they possess that make them unlike any other race in the world. Along the way, he finds himself drawn to odd creatures and anomalies at every turn. He has too many PhDs to count and I love him with my whole heart.

Some Bemb and Chloe moments from The Scarlet Owl Tavern! Bemb belongs to @bembwashere.

Oh, and a couple of things from when Chloe was granted shapeshifting powers (and didn't know how to control them so she started shifting between various versions of my sona from different universes).

What's better than one bird-ish thing with a gun? Two bird-ish things with guns.

I created this fake screenshot style piece for the cinema art prompt in the AHiT discord server. It's based on a movie idea I've had for a while involving my character working with The Conductor on a western. The plot revolves around the fact that they're the only two birds that look like each other; they meet due to a case of stolen identity and have a sort of rivals to partners arc. I won't go into the details here, but I'd definitely like to make it into a more fleshed out story someday!

Until then, enjoy this dramatic moment where they're being epic cowboys together.

Toonkind sketches!

First, some concepts for my new character, Dr. Nikolas Juniper. I'm still messing with his design (you can see the different styles of hair) but I can't wait to bring him to life he's gonna be so much fun to play.

There's also some Ivy in here! She's my Lili expy from Psychonauts.

And finally some Chloe the Tavernkeeper. Chloe in Psychonauts style and Chloe in the... winebulance. I don't know. @bembwashere took the photo and I just kind of felt compelled.

[chloedoesart]

Some art from a pirate themed game I ran in The Scarlet Owl Tavern a few months back!

Along with the map of the definitely not Operation-shaped island, I was able to introduce my new character Ladcomb Scoldwell! He is a mighty pirate, if you get my gist.

[chloedoesart]

I wanted to make some stickers for my coworkers, so I drew the character Chuuby wearing our uniform! They've been a huge hit and it's been so much fun to see them on everyone's water bottles and things.
