me me wHEN!!

This may be a cop out and really the reason I haven't gotten to finishing Aax's epilogue is just other stuff in my life means I haven't gotten around to it but...

Aax's domain is the unknown. The forgotten. Something not dissimilar to that which is kept in the depths of your mind- something you may not ever get to understand, but that's the point. You don't need to know everything in life- some things will stay when they were as they needed to happen.

I may not ever actually get around to it tho it is something I hope I do, but I don't actually think I'll be too upset if I don't.

I do know they went out there into the ocean and found what they could that remained of the other test subjects. Buried what they could find left of their siblings. They told the story of Ulysses to whoever they found in hopes the tale would help bring peace to them in the same way the stories she was told as a child did.

I don't know, I have thoughts about it and I'll admit some of them are kindof direct parallels to a god in one of the DnD games I play in which I 100% have an AU for where he's a paladin of Thana but that's so niche that's staying for me heh.

So if you're wondering what happened to her? That. There's more to it as there is with any life, but that's the part that wasn't really out there before. ✨

Heyhay13 tell us more about Hayden and my life is yours

MY MOTW BOI!! So!! Hayden is a Monstrous class character in a game of MotW I play with friends!! I love him very much and He Has TRAUMA! Some bits about Hayden: - Hayden was turned into the Mothman by a basically "passed along curse" where the last mothman attacked him and passed the curse onto him. - Hayden is a transman. He hasn't had top surgery yet but was on T for about two years before he was turned into Mothman. After that, he wasn't able to get ahold of T because he's been homeless/on the run. BUT- I put the MAN back in Mothman as he's found his body still acts as if he was taking his T. BECAUSE I SAID SO - Hayden recently confronted an angry momma Amarok and convinced her *not* to kill his awful ex-boyfriend's dad. It was a whole ass time and there was so much crying - Hayden's roommate is a soul-bat creature living in his underwear drawer. He feeds it rice crispies and Anthony named it Jacket. - Typically, Hayden is hard of hearing. This is when he's wearing his beanie (which is most of the time) to cover up his antenna. He doesn't have human ears anymore so the result is dulled sense of hearing and smell when he has the hat on. HAVE SOME COOL ART I GOT LATELY!! From @beandaqueen Hayden getting ready to go to a party (it did not go well). Featuring Jacket!

From the amazing @ffruitsalad Hayden's moth monster form!

fat bodies tutorial!

ALRIGHT SO my pal @kalreyno wanted help with drawing fat characters and as a fat artist i felt like i could give a bit of helpful insight on that. there’s also been a lot of complaining about “boo hoo fat characters are hard to draw so i can’t include them in my work Ever” goin on lately so if that’s your case then this is for you too!! and also just for anyone who would like help with fat bodies in general, ofc. anyway, let’s get this show on the road!!

let’s start with some common misconceptions. these are the two main attempts at chubby bodies i run into, so i’ll focus on them. 

the Anime Chubby i see everywhere, and it’s just……so wrong in many ways. first of all, there is almost no additional body fat compared to your average thin character - except for where it’s added in “attractive” places (breasts, hips, thighs). the breasts are way too perky, and don’t have the realistic shape fat would give them (though how to draw accurate breasts is another tutorial all on its own lmao). there is still a thigh gap, which usually only happens in very thin people, and bones are still visible on the surface of the skin, which also rarely happens in fat people.

the Michelin Man is better in some ways, but still not that great. it’s a slightly better attempt, but basically all that’s done there is taking a thin character and blowing them up, while giving no thought to fat distribution. the thigh gap is usually still present, and they look a lot more hard than soft - and fat is very soft and pliable.

here’s a chart on how fat usually distributes (if you can’t read my messy writing, “1. next to no fat, 2. moderate amount, 3. most of the fat distribution”). basically, the more muscle an area has, the more prone it is to develop fat, such as the abdomen, thighs, and upper arms. it’s important to note that fat sits on top of muscle, and that it does distribute in different levels, and not evenly across the body as shown in the Michelin Man. 

now, here’s an accurate fat body with all of that kept in mind!! notice how the fat isn’t only kept to aesthetically pleasing areas, and how it sits realistically on the character’s body. their breasts sag a lot more, which happens even in thin people with larger breasts, and the nipples are pointing more downwards than straight out. there is no thigh gap in sight, there are no bones in sight, and most importantly, they have fat rolls, which are very important in drawing a convincing fat character!! as far as i know i’ve never met a single person with no rolls at all, and everyone has them, whether thin or fat - they’re just more prominent and more consistently present in fat people. pay close attention to where they are and how they’re shaped.

here are a couple of drawings showing how fat is affected when sitting vs stretching. as seen in the first, the fat specifically on the stomach is distributed a lot more evenly and stretched out, so it becomes “flatter”. the love handles are still pretty visible, though, as well as the fat on the thighs and arms. the breasts are raised with the shoulders, and the fat on the shoulders and near the neck forms rolls as it’s being pushed together. 

in the second, there is a lot less room for distribution, so the fat is all pushed together. the breasts sag and the stomach forms rolls and spills into the lap. a good analogy for the way fat works is to liken it to a water balloon, and thinking of how its shape would change when resting flat on a surface, hanging off of a ledge, held upright, etc.

here are a few extra tips i find a lot of people miss!

first on the top is the hip/pubic region. the first circle is showing the way the bellybutton is folded in fat people, as opposed to stretched out in thinner people. the second is the stomach fat spilling over onto the pubic region and creating a separation in the two areas, which is something that’s missing in a lot of art. in addition, the pubic mound also gains fat, making it round as seen in the profile drawing i did up there (i’ve heard people refer to it as fupa?). the last in the hip region is the lack of a thigh gap. i can’t stress this enough!!!! if you’re trying to draw a convincing fat character, make sure their thighs are pretty much always touching!! for reference, mine literally don’t separate until my feet are about 2ft from each other.

the bottom right is showing the double chin, which a lot of people are afraid to draw!! fat does distribute itself here too, and there’s nothing wrong with it, so don’t feel like you shouldn’t give fat characters a double chin in your work for fear of it looking like a caricature.

in the bottom middle, it’s showing how fat affects different types of breasts with the presence of more or less breast tissue. 

lastly, at the very right are stretch marks with their usual locations and directions, which i also can’t stress enough!!!!! i sometimes forget to add them honestly, but they’re so important in accurately portraying fat characters, as they literally come from the skin being stretched from fat being gained (and they’re also just rlly neat lookin like why wouldn’t you lmao). some people have less and some people have more, feel free to experiment with them!

the last thing is body types!! there isn’t one single way for a person to be fat, so feel free to experiment with shapes once you’ve learned the basics!! 

so there you have it, a tutorial on how to draw chubs!! now go forth and make some accurate fanart or some rad fat characters, because the world could always use more of both. hmu if you have any questions or concerns, and thanks for reading!!

EDIT: someone pointed out the bad wording in the tutorial. thank you for bringing it to my attention and sorry for offending anybody. i’ve updated the tut, so please reblog this one!

Pretty bird <3

[heyhay13]

I LOVE HIM SO MUCH

You know what tumblr also gets little guy rights-

This is Behloh, my silly little chat OC for @heyhay13 and @artfulrenegade’s “Our Otherworld SMP”. In my headcanon he’s just one of the many little woodland spirits that make up the twitch chats :D

(He’s maybe just a little loud about it lol, hence… “bellow”)

[heyhay13]

I finally drew Kite!! The silly cat guy!

[heyhay13]

hihihi!

Would you be okay with using a scene/monologue from Fable or another SMP (one your character spoke) to memorize for a theater class? (atm I'm thinking of when Rae snapped and yelled at Icarus-)

If not, that's a-okay! all credit would be given of course! :]

That's so cool!! Go for it!!

[heyhay13]

I am not sure if it's been said so I'm going to ask, what type of bird was Draeke?

You can see what he is from the feather in Ash's inventory! He was a indigo bunting!

[heyhay13]

Hello! bit more of a mechanics question than a lore one;

How do you get all the different avians' feathers into Bound? I know that y'all (or you specifically) make the textures, but what items are they? Are they your own items implemented into the game, or something like a renamed in-game item (Like how the Starbarks items were)?

They're all pieces of paper renamed! We use paper so that combined with essence (retextured gunpowder) all of them make flight crystals (retextured rockets)!

[heyhay13]

What happened between Isla and Enderian after the finale. Did they meet again? Did they date again?

You can at least see a bit of what happened with them in the Star Stories fic i have on Ao3!!
