i did an art for once whaaat

in the past few months, i've really gotten into hermitcraft and life series, and scar in particular has become one of my favorites. very inspired builder, extremely genuine, and quite funny.

but i also couldn't help but notice his vast collection of skins that he's worn throughout the many series he's been in, and my artist brain couldn't help but get inspired.

and i know i'm not the only one, because i've also seen many other stellar scar designs from the wonderful artists who've made animatics. so, i've decided to throw my hat in the ring, stretch the ol' character design muscles, and draw my take on mr.goodtimeswithscar.

okay now i'm gonna do a deep dive on my thought processes as i worked on this design, so read on if you like, but from here on out it's silly autistic ramblings :)

during my first attempt in drawing scar, i was extremely torn between the many designs. originally, i was just gonna draw swaggon scar from season 8, since that was the first season of hermitcraft i watched (and that outfit is the first outfit i think of when i think of scar), but i also wanted to draw a season 9 scar since that's my favorite season, but then i'd also started watching season 7 recently... ughhh it was a whole ordeal.

instead, i decided to draw a sort of baseline "greatest hits" scar if you will. in hindsight, i did kinda lean towards swaggon scar quite a bit when it came to his outfit, but i tried not to favor it too much.

my main goal with this design was to give off "rugged adventurer" vibes, since scar's building style is very natural-based and terraforming is a big component of his hermitcraft builds, but also because that's often the vibe his character gives off when he plays in the life series.

so, to convey that, first and foremost, i decided to try and stick to very earthy colors and tones most of the time, which actually worked out really well for me, as greens and browns are pretty commonplace in many of scar's skins.

at the same time, though, i also wanted to give off those swindling snake oil salesmen qualities that he often plays with in series, and his swaggon character is the epitome of that personality, which is why this design takes heavy cues from that design.

of course, another iconic scar scam was the magic crystals in season 7, and i knew i wanted to reference that too, but i didn't exactly know how until much later in the design.

from the beginning, i knew i was gonna have scar with a cane, because i LOVE when artists design scar with a cane, since on one hand, it very much fits in with the swindling (HUGE grunkle stan vibes), but on the other, i think it's a very respectful and creative way to represent his disability.

at first, i was just gonna give him a kinda generic looking cane, but i randomly came across that cane from jurassic park, and immediately, i knew what i wanted to do; i wanted to give scar a magic staff and cane hybrid inspired by his season 7 wizard skin, and i think it came out really well.

it was a bit harder to represent season 9, but i knew i wanted to represent it somehow. although i'm a little sad i wasn't able to incorporate more season 9 stuff, i think the pins/buttons on his hat was a pretty smooth way to do it. the quiver on his back is also most definitely a hOtGuY reference, but i'm also just generally impressed by his bow skills, so i wanted to give him a quiver.

also yeah i included my hand references alongside the design references because... yeah stereotypical artist thing here but DRAWING HANDS SUCKS!! and, y'know, i just wanted to be honest lol

i know there's some stuff i've probably missed out on with this design; like, i haven't gotten to scar's seasons 4, 5, 6, or 10 yet, for instance, so perhaps there are some references there that i could have included, but... hey, what can ya do.

well, that's pretty much it! this design took me a few days to figure out since i hadn't done much character design stuff in a good bit, but i'm proud of how it turned out!

if inspiration strikes, i definitely want to draw more designs of the hermits/lifers. grian, mumbo, joel, jimmy, etho, gem, impulse, and skizz are definitely on my list!

The Lucky One

Steve Rogers/ Original Female Character

Rated: Explicit

⚠️Warnings: Sketchy Hydra Experimentation, Dubious Science, Dubious Content, Artificial Insemination, Non-con pregnancy, Miscarriages, Minor Character Death, Mentions of Torture, Loss of Virginity.

Status: WIP

Summary:

Ernest Hemingway famously said that you make our own luck, but in a world where super soldiers are forged, hidden cities thrive on advanced technology, extraterrestrials breach our skies, and a single gene holds the power to reshape destinies, luck seems like a distant concept. Yet amidst this extraordinary backdrop, Siri’s story unfolds—a tale of unlikely fortune that begins far from the realm of luck.

my favorite genre of fictional character is like "i am terrifying to almost everyone, i'm very good at killing, i can endure anything, i've become exceptionally good at playing into my reputation, and if you try to give me positive social interaction i will react with confusion and cower in a corner like an abused animal. and i may try to shoot you. but there is also a chance i may imprint on you like a feral dog receiving its first loving touch! good luck."

TUMBLR 101: a helpful guide for tiktok refugees

are YOU a former tiktok user trying to learn how to use tumblr to fill the void the american tiktok ban is leaving in your soul? here are some things you should know, from someone who’s going on their eighth year on this hellsite:

1. you can say anything on here. gone are the days of having to use words like “unalive” and “seggs.” murder! kill! sex! fuck! speak your mind!

2. there is a community for you on here. regardless of what you’re into or however small the fandom is, you have a place here. at least one other person will have heard of your weird obscure interest. strike up a conversation!

3. followers don’t matter. tumblr is one of the last remaining social media sites in which your number of followers means absolute jack shit. this can be disorienting at first, but once you lean into the fact that everyone on this website is equal, it’s very freeing. clout means nothing here.

4. similarly, you can post at any time. while tiktok has an algorithm that favors certain times, tumblr has no such algorithm. post whatever you want, whenever you want. every post has virtually the same chance at getting notes, regardless of when it is posted.

5. tags can have spaces between the words! this one is very exciting. tags can be a whole sentence. you can also use the tags to comment on someone’s post without actually adding onto the physical post itself (which is sometimes frowned upon and called “derailing” if you use this feature to bring up a completely different point other than the one that’s being made on the original post).

TL;DR: speak your mind, find your place, followers don’t matter, post anytime, have fun with tags!! tumblr is a wonderful site used to share things you’re excited about. be patient with yourself as you’re learning and have fun!

Sometimes tweeter people know their stuff- this is the right kind of toxic angst I want to read.

I miss the era of the internet where everyone had an evil alter ego/character that would show up on their channel, just to be silly, that eventually got a lot of lore from the fandom for no reason. It was a simpler time.

the angel staying over at my house asked for a nightlight in their room and i told them buddy, don't you produce your own light? what're you gonna do with more? and they said they wanted to see why people like it so much. and also that the nightlight i own is blue and they've been trying to understand color. anyways i think they've stared at it for an hour now
