Oh hey would you look at that, it’s more player take from a sleepy idiot, rejoice /s

> As the basis of everything here, the player is treated more like a character/oc than a self-insert. I hc that everyone (including the player) sees the world in Block Tales as the real world (even if it might go against canon). Everyone but Shed and Builderman. The devs see it more as a game they built and maintained.

> The player is barely 20 when they were sent back from the future.

> Assuming Builderman’s kidnapping in 2010 marks the start of the end of the world, and they traveled back from 2024, they spent almost their entire formative year struggling to survive in an apocalypse.

> The peaceful present day (2010) existed only in their distant childhood memories. To be here in person again as now a (young) adult is a surreal experience to say the least.

> It’s not wholly negative, mind you. The peace and quiet and the abundance of material goods, they enjoy those a lot. They really took their time to try out every kinds of food, and they’ve already joined Griefer as half a Bloxy Cola addict.

> However, the stability of the present day - how everyone seems to collectively believe in this normalcy, wholly oblivious to how wrong everything can get in the near future - unnerves them sometimes. How are you smiling when you are walking into your own graves? It keeps them vigilante, running around even when no new instruction has been given by Shed. Kyoko might have to wrestle them a bit to have them actually sit down with her.

> Luckily their life experiences didn’t make them a brooding asshole. If anything they tend to shoulder the responsibility of being the funny one. Growing up as one of the youngest in their survivor group means when people look at them, they either see hope, or liability. They learnt to stay happy and stay strong for the ones cared about them. Or lay low and be useful when their survival relied on someone who’s not wholly happy about dragging a kid along.

> On an unrelated note, the player is a scrapper. Meaning they’ll use any dirty trick in or not in the book to win any fight, and they tend to shittalk their enemies sometimes.

> Shed gave absolutely no funding to the player, even if they’re literally saving his business partner and possibly the world, except means of transportation. Being familiar with the game’s mechanics, he’s sure the drops/loots will give them enough Tix to go by and they can figure it out.

> The player just halfheartedly chalked it up as Shed being a cheapskate.

The guy (gender neutral) in question. Their current design at least

i always imagined how the forsaken builderman/shedletsky would feel about meeting blocktales builderman/shedletsky :3

take this as you will

[katrielduchess]

You guys can have a sneak peek into a side thing I’m doing… my brother may join in too but Chance bean caretaker au !!

How he meets the other beans (Builderbean brought them all there the survivor beans, it’s only when Chance finds and injured 1x bean and heals it (and spoils it to the point that it’s the size of a baby seal though very healthy just fluffy??) that the killer beans come in too)

Builderbean brought the survivor beans in or at least to the door step before howling at 3am for Chance to get let him in (since builderbean likes to collect materials from outside to build nests and feeding places for himself and by instinct others) which lead to this happening LOL

[katrielduchess]

Imagine the shenanigans if the shedletsky from Blocktales and the shedletsky from Forsaken met

He’ll only be a little mischievous. (More rambling and about the art after the Read More!)

This was a combination of two inspirations. An old OC and an old drawing that both were lost in the realm of unfinished work. I had a lot of fun with this one because it allowed me to explore my past art habits, how I loved to draw pretty characters without a care. Since I was a kid, no one really questioned my cutesy characters, but as I got older, I began to get more self conscious about it since the people around me were perplexed by it. “That doesn’t look like a guy.” Comments like that. Then when a guy did wear cutesy things, it was only as a joke. Or when I designed such characters, it gathered the wrong audience that seemed disappointed I wasn’t a certain way. So while I don’t think those people meant harm, it slowly discouraged me from drawing as much. I liked drawing and creating pretty guys. “But I can’t do that when my drawing anatomy is too fem-looking. This design gives people the wrong idea.” is what I concluded, along with that layer of stress in judgement. I didn’t want to deal with the questions and hearing how feminine guys are only a joke or meant for sexual expression. Somehow, I’ve never come across a community that really encouraged me directly?

I really liked seeing this sort of look though, just someone dressing pretty no matter who or what they are. I like pretty. The end of last year I just decided to throw myself back into it. I’ve improved on drawing with what I could, maybe not great at producing a variety of body types, especially to differentiate fem and masc, but I got tired of waiting since it seemed I wasn’t really practicing as my heart wasn’t in it.

I picked up the two things I loved, a cheeky character, with a vibrant old art piece I abandoned. Revisiting them both allowed me to think about stuff while I drew this, helped revive what it is about art that really comforted me. My characters can be anything they want, and I can decide that for them. It should be the same for me.

Now that I’ve gotten a bit more comfortable with drawing in general, I gotta get comfortable with drawing concepts I’ve wanted. There’s not really much to say about the drawing progress, I just really zoned out through most of it and enjoyed my time streaming it.

Progress: Sketch - Line Flat

Alternatives

These I had fun with but ultimately decided not to go with them. It’s defeinitely a good step toward more interesting art pieces!

I am NOT DEAD. And I'm back with another screencap redraw :3 Screenshot reference is from 2:48 of the song Wind Over The Flower by Balloon

You know I'm invested in a drawing when I spend half an hour tracing the background japanese text for it. Anyways this just feels like something Heart would say to Mind
