"New" guy! You might have seen him before hehe
This is Iris, or rather how he used to look like in his younger days. In the current story he's an old retired criminal along with his boyfriend Buckthorn (by @furgemancs ) who was just as into heists as Iris.
I'm not quite sure how to talk about this guy's story yet, since we're kind of working out their past through two old coots remembering the days of their youth and puzzling them together as they do. It's very fun!
I'll toss some random stuff about him bellow
-So Iris and Buck are actually "side" characters that appeared with idea of being briefly just there to help two other characters (Astra and Thorn) but we got too attached lol
-The whole cowboy vibe for Iris is due to me watching Undertale Yellow at the time, sort of wanting to pull of a similar feel as Starlo because I didn't intend this guy to become a whole character like this haha!
-He lives with his boyfriend Buck in the middle of nowhere near some woods. They lie that they have riches due to being royalty that escaped to be free and do what ever they want which is why they hide away in the first place.
-The truth is, they used to work as criminals who stole stuff for themselves (and Iris for his abusive gang), mostly from noble or rich bugs, good or not.
-Iris and Buckthorn used to be heated rivals, competing for the prize of their heists. Buck was so cunning Iris hated his guts but over time they started having fun racing for the items they would steal, ended up getting used to each other and eventually close.
-Both had difficult pasts. Iris also worked for the gang akin to mafia while forcibly dating a girl from it so the two eventually had find a way to get away from all of that and not end up hunted down and murdered. It was hard but they eventually succeed, forcing them into hiding not just from getting away from the law but also the gang.
-Luckily, many many years later, they ended up growing old and safe at their humble home in the woods, with enough (stolen) riches to keep them retired for good~
-Iris can go from calm and collected to easily flared and upset depending on the situation. Both Buck and him are perceptive but Iris is not a smooth talker. He can be deceiving and if Buck is around the two are such a good tandem they'll make you buy any lie or truth they say.
-Iris is very very good with ropes and knots. Good at aiming with his crossbow! As young, he was able to fly well too and it helped him reach places and leave scenes faster.
That's all briefly put at least. Have doodles I have so far!
Tumblr media Tumblr media
You've seen this one
Tumblr media
First and very rough doodle of old Iris. I now have a proportions I'm happy with thanks to the ref above but he is still kind of slim and lanky like this now! His mustache is also fuzzier haha
Tumblr media
Rough of Iris' and Buck's earlier encounters XD
EDIT: OH And the palette I used is from HERE (Metal Goat specifically)

hi! i was just wondering if you’re getting a piece of this pie. https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/voidrealmminis/rise-of-the-eldertubbies?ref=profile_saved_projects_live
Oh my goodness! Haha thanks for showing me! And no, of course, this guy is still selling my dream while claiming it’s totally nothing to do with me. I hadn’t heard about it so thank you.
For those just joining us, here is the saga of the elder teletubbies:
1. in 2017 I posted a dream I had on Tumblr. In the dream I discovered that the childish teletubbies shown on BBC’s Teletubbies are merely the children of a species that grows up to be forest cryptids as adults. The post contained a detailed character description explaining how the children’s simple antennae become more complex antlers; their coats become thicker hair; their eldritch screens are unknowable; here, look:
The adult Teletubbies have more branching, complex antlers and shaggy coats. They are less brightly coloured. They are terrifyingly large. Their strangely human faces, emerging from the thick fur, are unquestionably adult; remote, serene, reproachful. Their television screens are glitchy, esoteric and unknowable. They are cryptids whose public exploitation has undermined their rarity and their strange, alien dignity.
That’s a pretty clear description.
2. The post quickly gained attention and many people drew art, made sculptures, designed in-depth character concepts, and even made DnD character sheets and entries with detailed notes. It was 2017. The post got over 90k notes. It had an extremely clear description of the cryptid in it. This wasn’t at all obscure.
3. The post and four pieces of the concept art, including the first piece by were screencapped and posted on r/tumblr. The post included this art by the now-deactivated @finoliatav which is, I think, the first piece of art. Most screencaps don’t show that it’s animated! Once you see it you can no longer pretend that any more work needs to be done in designing these characters, really - they’re all variations on a very clear theme.
Tumblr media
4. A guy called Jars started drawing the BBC Teletubbies as adult Teletubbies. He noted on Reddit that his inspiration for the first one was the r/tumblr post but after that, he considered it entirely his own creative work. He drew each of the 4 BBC Teletubbies as adults using my character description and wrote a little story about how his character had stumbled upon them in the woods. He’s a good artist and his work went viral on Reddit and instagram. Those places being separate from Tumblr by the walls of the enclosure, they quickly believed the Jars was being highly original and praised him for it.
5. jars got carried away by his fame and started merchandising for all he’s worth. He’s selling elder teletubbies placemats. He got a collaborator to help him make and sell plushies.
6. Plushies of my character design applied to BBC characters. Jars sells them. To people. Who buy them. He sells these.
7. I think this is like… his job.
8. It has been years of this. I don’t think he has actually come up with anything else to sell by himself. But given that he now has millions upon millions of views on platforms I don’t use, let alone dominate (Instagram, YouTube, Reddit, TikTok) he seems to have fully subscribed to the idea that this is his THING.
9. After a while I wrote him a friendly email expressing that since my original dream was very much about discomfort with how the teletubbies were being exploited, I didn’t mind him selling his own art but that I wasn’t happy with him selling plushes based on my writing.
10. He wrote back along the lines of it all being his original intellectual property and absolutely nothing to do with me, etc, so jog on and don’t interfere.
11. I’m not entirely sure where the original intellectual property is when taking BBC characters and drawing them according to someone else’s detailed description of how to “evolve” them (branching antlers, shaggy coats, eldritch screens, serene adult human faces) especially having drawn them after seeing four separate detailed reference photos to base your own drawings on; especially when they’re the existing BBC characters from the show and not even your own. Like, Jars, you were given an entire detailed brief, several sets of references, an entire concept and a television show: the only artistic choices made here were to pick up your own personal pen and do the drawing. You have never deviated from my description, which you did not come up with yourself in any way. But okay Jars. You did some real intellectual heavy lifting here, this is Intellectual Property suddenly, and I guess this is your day job!
12. I myself actually have a day job, am capable of generating lots of other original material just for funsies, have never asked you guys for money, and I’m not generally huge jerk I don’t think. Also, I’m uncomfortable but have never been clear on how to stop him - I don’t think I can. So I don’t do much about this, apart from occasionally scream with hilarity with you guys about it.
13. Like this is the opposite of Goncharov. This is a guy making his wage on a 2017 tumblr collaborative shitpost insisting that this is the beautiful fruit of his only brain. And millions of people believe him.
14. There are now YouTube documentaries with millions of views and TikTok lore about Jars, and his lore, the Elder Teletubbies, which apparently he invented. People are making their wage talking about the history of Jars and his teletubbies lore. These documentaries are, if you can’t tell, not especially well-researched, as it is not difficult to find the original elder teletubbies art on the internet, which is all timestamped. Occasionally hilarious people from Tumblr point this out in the comments (thank you, you guys are hilarious) but the juggernaut is unstoppable!
15. Jars is now, apparently, doing a kickstarter to raise money for some kind of DnD sheets using the grown up BBC teletubbies.
16. I will point out that tumblr made and played with DnD teletubbies in 2017 for free and nobody had to pay $3000, but again. The juggernaut is unstoppable.
I have never, ever known what to do about this guy.
I have always been open to advice but genuinely never been able to articulate how it “damages” me, apart from ethical discomfort about how much I hate my writing being monetised by other people, especially when it was about my discomfort with exploitation. The juggernaut is unstoppable though. He fully intends to get thousands of dollars from this. He almost certainly will!

edit: i got enough to pay for the things i need, but i'll keep commission post up and open! i'm going to finish the two commissions i got soon, any commission after these 2 will be started after art fight (which is the whole of july) , thanks for everyone's help!
simple character commissions!
pls read this entire post, if there's additional questions pls ask contact details are on the bottom of this post
what's a simple character you ask?
simple characters are only made up by a few shapes, I've put some examples up. (some of these characters are not mine i just drew them for art fight/commissions) other examples includes Kirby and most kirby characters, level 1 (baby) Digimon, some pokemon, tamagotchis, sanrio characters, or your own simple oc, or anything similar to these examples
i like to take simple characters and make them look nice i can draw them in two ways, with a pencil brush or a pixel brush (pixel brush example is the Kirby with cowboy hat)
price: 35$ usd
what can be in the picture: a simple character with a simple object if you desire it will be fully colored and shaded
want more than one character: each character is 35 usd I don't offer discounts on additional characters
i reserve the right to turn down a commission if it's too difficult. i also will do a refund if i find I'm having trouble drawing a character this shouldn't really happen if the Character isn't overly complicated
i draw in my own style i do not copy styles, I don't deal with people who nitpick how i draw! sorry if this sounds mean but you need to give me free range on poses and stuff or else i can't do it. pls be familiar with how i draw <333
I don't want to go off words with a character or make you a character pls have a clear ref with a full body i can use
these are not made with printing in mind, do so at your own risk , pls tell me if you want the character to have a transparent background before i start
time for art to be done: while I'm a fast artist as in i could finish it same day, but I'm going to give a limit of one month for me to finish the drawing, i put down everything in google docs so you won't be forgotten.
commissions are done in the order they are received there are no slots
how to contact me, DM me here if you want a commission or have any questions (do not send an ask) and if you'd like I can send you my discord if you feel more comfortable talking there once you DM me
my kofi is where you will pay for your commission
https://ko-fi.com/juenavei
i also take donations if you would rather do that
also if you can't do either of these things passing along this post would help me

Will I ever post a ref sheet and explanation of my amazing digital circus AU...........
NO
But I do have a name for it and I call it
"The amazing digital creator's"
With that being said I want to draw three of my favorite designs from other people's "AU" with my favorite design for my "AU" so here we go!!!
[Also caution I drew all these in traditional art so you're going to see a lot of grid lines so be wary don't judge me please ˃̣̣̣̣̣̣︿˂̣̣̣̣̣̣ 
-first one being @sm-baby ragatha design I love her so much he looks so sweet I really wanted to draw her with my version of ragatha Who very much looks very different
Tumblr media
These next two drawings are fan art for the same person I really love @ner5y toon "AU" so much and there pomni design she looks like a wet cat.... Also I wasn't until I started drawing the design that I realized I made a lot of them very very tall my pomni almost the same height as Jax ( in case you're wondering the only characters who hight didn't change was Jax)
Tumblr media
In the final drawing being @ner5y toon CAINE!!!
Tumblr media
This is really my favorite drawing of my own version of Caine but it was the best I could really do and it's also 3:00 a.m........ I'm so tired  ( ͒ ́ඉ .̫ ඉ ̀ ͒)  but no matter again will I ever post anything about my you no so you get a snippet of what Caine is basically a giant he can hold everyone in the palm of his hand I love him I love all these designs of my own and of the artist's versions please check them all out they're amazing
Okay I'm very tired that's all I really got to say and once again if I ever have chance I'll post as many Doodles if you guys want to see that just tell me okeyyyy byeeeeeeeee\(´ ∇`)ノ

I noticed you are/were taking asks so I'm going to take advantage of that and request that you draw your guy (of your pfp) and my guy hangin' out and being chill dudes or whatever 😈 if it so tickles your fancy.
This may be invasive but, are they like both one person or you? (Share the lore IF you're so inclined) If so that's cool because I like to draw my real self and my silly self having epic rap battles of history. Sorry for the yap.
Here's the kinda crap ref of the guy 🙏
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Drew this while giggling and kicking my feet (LOOOVE ur art pookie LOVE IT)
As for my personas lore, their designs started out as an exercise to demask (I’m autistic)
Green guy represents me completely without my mask (that’s why they are constantly shrouded in darkness)
Purple person represents my mask itself (my artworks of them are usually more bubbly/cartoony)
However, growing up with the information that I’m autistic being hidden from me and being raised female (blah blah blah female autism psychology blah blah blah) my mask has become an integral part of my personality that I can’t just toss away. At first, it became a source of self-hatred, but once I started designing my two “me”s, it allowed me to accept myself fully as who I am
Green guy nor purple person fully represent me, because I am not truly myself without the two of them together
Buuut then they became more characterized and now they’re almost fully characters in their own right. But creating a new persona for me just feels wrong, so they’re both my persona! The end.
N e way here’s some art of them! Some are unfinished and most are old

How I draw: Use of references
Second response to a few art questions from @johnny-and-clyde let’s gooo!
I love references! Like most artists I did have that phase where I thought I was better than everyone because I didn’t use ‘em, but lemme tell ya- starting to use references took my art from this
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
(Art from 2021-2022) To some better lookin stuff, and eventually to the stuff y’all know me for now lol!
Nowadays I do use references for almost every drawing, but the amount that I reference them varies Occasionally it’s pretty direct, like my drawing of Curly Shepard, in which I HEAVILY referenced a photo of myself for the pose and fit:
Tumblr media
(I don’t dress like this on a daily basis the pic was taken at a Twilight-themed school dance ok) (I’m not cool enough to wear that many necklaces w/o a good reason 😔)
In drawings where I directly reference photos that don’t belong to me, I put the reference in the post under the drawing, so folks know I didn’t plan the concepts/compositions on my own. But usually I don’t directly reference things…
Usually I use a bunch of different references for a bunch of different things. This is for two purposes:
1- Making sure everything stays vaguely anatomically decent, that the fabric folds in the right places, that the perspective works, that the lighting looks good, etc…especially in tricker/unusual poses. Um I’m also pretty sure that I might have some form of aphantasia, or at least a really weak “mind’s eye”, which is probably why I struggle with composition/planning in art and why I do so much better with references
Like here, when I used this pic of Emilio Estevez’s character in Repo Man to make sure I was getting Mark Jennings’s face shape right- just glanced at it off to the side and (more or less) drew what I saw
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Or here, in this pic of Steve Randle- I didn’t know how to even start to draw the angle I needed, so I took a pic of myself and used that
Tumblr media Tumblr media
2- Capturing the likeness of a person. For most new characters I draw, I take a bunch of screenshots and roughly redraw them and occasionally trace them to build muscle memory, all while taking little notes about unique features they have. Then, once I have a feel for them, and enough odd-looking line drawings to look like a crazy stalker, I’m ready to start actually drawing post-able art yk?
Here’s an example from 2023 where I studied Nancy Wheeler. Final product ain’t fantastic, but this was two-school-years ago so it’s basically ancient in my book lol
Tumblr media Tumblr media
I do still use refs often in the finals, but less directly and with less adherence
But I will say, for rougher/cartoonier drawings I don’t use as many refs. Like, I didn’t use references for these (although I did pose in the mirror to get the arm right in the self-portrait lol) :
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Lastly, I also find it’s nice to have a mirror/window nearby to look at my own anatomy and reference that, although that’s mainly just useful for characters who look semi-like me/have similar builds to me lol. Like I can reference myself for drawing Steve Randle or Johnny Cade (at least his face lol), but not so much for drawing like…Dally or Evie or Marcia. Still, it’s useful, especially when I can’t find a specific reference I want, yk?
Anyhow, those are the main ways I utilize references in art! Hope some of this was helpful :))

If someone does an au for writing, are they able to provide visual refs for designs? Also, are writers able to communicate with the artists/beta readers to see what types of scenes they'd like to explore? (Like "what characters do you want to see react to this?" or or pointing out flaws in lore.) At the writer's permission of course!
as a participant myself last year who wrote an au, i drew references for my artists too! so yes, this is absolutely fine and would be a big help to your artists. we just ask that you keep your own drawings to your dedicated collaboration thread, and only share them publicly once the event is over.
you're free to discuss whatever you like with your artist or beta reader in your collab thread! more communication with your artists and beta readers opens the way for better links between fics and art pieces, so yes - as long as everyone you're working with is on board with your ideas.

Ok so (silly >w<) +rant? Idk-
Tumblr media Tumblr media
You might be wondering about the written notes :3
Lemme tell ya oml: Alright, so I do art trades a lot, right? Right. Nowadays I ask of my Yolay or Petey, cool beans.
What's funny to me is that...for some reason, SOME REASON, both characters were drawn-Hands On Hips-THREE TIMES. BOTH OF EM.
The fact I only drew my Petey with that kind of pose ONCE, and yet random artists do it on the spot for me is insane/silly.
And Yolay, ok well I DID draw her hands on hips in her own ref so...she gets a pass :3 and it fits her sm so I can't really argue XD
Update: Ok so apparently Yolay did this the FOURTH TIME-[can you tell I'm fast with art trades lmao]
Tumblr media
Ahh long story short: Lmao I drew my goobers but with the poses given in my art gifts <33

I don't know why I didn't think of this sooner but it came to me the other day and I just had to write it down. A wee fic to dip my toe back into the Valetverse again.
When Hell Froze Over
Characters - Seth Rollins, CM Punk, Drew McIntyre, others mentioned
AU - Valetverse (created by Syreina)
Rating - Mature
Warnings - Swearing
Words - ~1,577 words
Background Info - In a world where women no longer exist, society is split into two; dominants (the ruling class) and valets (who possess the 'inualidus chromosome' that allows them to bear children). Stripped of basic human rights, valets are expected to be entirely subservient to the dominants that claim them and few are prized higher than the valets of the WWE. Seth Rollins and CM Punk are both such valets and are married to Roman Reigns and The Undertaker, respectively.
Summary - Seth Rollins had it all and was convinced nobody could take it away from him. Until the static hit!
***Please note; the author of this fic is a Punk girlie (ng) so everything written here, including the hate, is done with loving affection. I have no problem with Punk haters interacting, so long as we all keep it civil. Thank you!😘***
He was the Visionary! He was the Revolutionary! He was Seth Freakin' Rollins!
And he was on top of the world!
Standing in the cage, he closed his eyes and savoured the sound of the crowd chanting the sweeping notes of his entrance music long after the TitanTron had gone quiet, waving his arms to encourage them to carry on and on and on. Precious gold hung heavy around his waist, the World Heavyweight Championship, symbolising his position as the top dog on Monday Night Raw. The headliner, the main-eventer, the face of the brand. Even backstage, he was looked up to and respected, acknowledged by all as the valet locker-room leader.
Meanwhile his husband Roman Reigns, the Tribal Chief and dominant locker-room leader, was making headlines with his historic reign as the Undisputed WWE Universal Champion over on Smackdown, proving once and for all that he was the Head of the Table, while his other husband, fellow valet and recently re-branded Jon Moxley, was dominating the 'other company' with his faction, the brutal Blackpool Combat Club.
The Shield may no longer exist in paper, but nobody could deny their stranglehold on the current wrestling landscape. Sweeter still, nobody came close to challenging them for it.
Not even the Judgement Day! Chasing their newest runt, JD McDonagh to the top of the cage, Seth and his team mate, Sami Zayn, grabbed hold of their foe. Ignoring his pleas for mercy, they threw him towards a waiting Randy Orton below who executed a picture perfect RKO to finish off the Irishman, adding him to the list of his fallen brothers. All it took was a Cross Rhodes for Cody to metaphorically cut off the head of their leader, Damian Priest, and going in for the pin, the ref counted the one, two, three.
The bell rang and the crowd went wild for their victory. Grinning from ear-to-ear, Seth lapped up the applause, his body wracked with the pain and exertion of the brutal War Games match. Below him, Cody was embracing his husband, Randy, who had triumphantly returned from an eighteen month absence due to a back injury. Seth gazed warmly at the happy pair but beneath his smile, his cogs were already turning. Randy was no push-over in the ring, and Cody, the prodigal son, had a way with the crowd that almost rivalled his own. They were potential threats, ones that could prove dangerous in the future. However, as of that moment in time, they were on the same team and on the same wavelength. Seth wasn't worried. He was too engrossed in relishing his fresh victory, cherishing the noise of adoration from the WWE Universe.
And then the static hit!
Somehow the noise grew, a jet engine roaring in his ear.
'No! No fucking way!'
And there he was! Sauntering in with a plain white shirt and the smuggest grin on his face. As if he had any business being there at all!
CM Punk! Phil fucking Calaway, himself!
Seth couldn't believe his eyes, this couldn't be happening. Punk was finished, washed up, done! He'd been fired from that pissant company, branded a thug, a bully, a locker-room cancer. He'd had his character, his reputation and legacy dragged so viciously in the dirt that he'd never clean his slate again. Never!
So, how the fuck was this happening?
Seth saw red! Pushing back his stunned teammates, he stomped out the cage door, heading for the ramp. His path was blocked by refs and production crew, sensing the rage pulsing through the champion's veins. Seth didn't care. He saw the so-called Best in the World posturing at the entranceway, taking selfies with fans, teasing them with taps on his wristwatch.
And they were lapping it all up! They should have booed him out of the building like they were doing on those other shows, blowing the roof off with chants of 'CM Sucks! CM Sucks!' Not welcoming him back with open arms like some conquering hero. This wasn't fair! This wasn't right!
He had walked out on them nearly ten years ago. He had abandoned them all; the company, the valet division, the fans, even those that needed him most. Right when they'd finally given him the ball, he'd dropped it and never looked back. Not only that but he had done everything in his power to tear it all down since.
So now, he could just... walk back in?
NO! He wasn't having it! Not in his company!
'Woah, woah! Easy there.' He had more people around him now; Cody and Sami, even Michael Cole and Corey Graves had left the commentary table to try and calm Seth down, force him back. It only ignited the fire further.
It was all caught on a fan's mobile phone. How he had repeatedly stuck up his middle fingers at Punk, swearing bloody murder at him with the foulest language he could muster. It would become viral, as much a talking point of that night as the return that proved hell had truly frozen over.
CM Punk was back in the WWE.
While everything else; the War Games match, the victory, even Orton's return all fell away into the background.
Even for Seth, who now had only one focus, one vision. Hearing Punk spew his empty apologies, prattling on about conquering his white whale of main-eventing Wrestlemania, saying that he was finally 'home' before signing that dotted line that tied him to the red brand - Seth's brand! - caused that wrath inside of him to bubble into a boiling froth until he could stand it no longer.
His music hit and he stormed out to the ring. Standing toe-to-toe with his former friend, now his bitter enemy, he stared down the older valet without fear. Eyeing up the deeper lines in his face, the grey in his beard, the new scars marring his skin. Behind those pursed lips, he knew a tooth was missing. Punk had changed in so many ways.
But so had Seth. He was no longer the kitten, and he had outgrown the Architect. He was now the veteran, the top guy, the champion, and Punk was beneath him in every way possible.
'Don't you dare call this place your home!' Seth warned the older man. 'This is my home! This is our home and I will do everything in my power to protect it from people like you!'
Punk looked on, his arms crossed across his chest, blinking slowly like a bored cat. Never once making a move to grab a mic himself.
'I'm going to say this plainly, with every fibre of my being,' he paused, ensuring he could see the look on Punk's face as he uttered, 'I hate you!' It stung him, the older valet ducking his head. 'The truth always comes out, pal, and I know, you know, everybody here knows... this is your last chance.' Another pause, letting the significance of his words set in. 'So one of two things is gonna happen; you either expose yourself and self-destruct like you always do. Or if, by some miracle, you have changed, and you've got any gas left in this old tank? Maybe one day you'll be lucky enough to stand across the ring from me, in a World Heavyweight Championship match and then I will expose you for the fraud that you are!'
Finally, finally, Punk grabbed a microphone and Seth readied himself. The other valet was notorious on the mic, it had been what had propelled him above the rest, that had broken down barriers and glass ceilings, that had changed the entire culture of wrestling as a whole. He knew that whatever was coming his way was bound to be brutal.
'Are you done?' the older man asked, patronisingly. Seth tried to keep calm, hide his ire. 'That's your one free pass to stand here and speak to me disrespectfully without me coming after you.' Pass? A free pass? Seth didn't need a fucking free pass! But he had no time to argue back as Punk went on, announcing that he was entering the Royal Rumble. 'And when CM Punk wins, maybe, Seth, it's you, he's coming after!'
The confrontation was over, and even though by all standards, it should have been another victory for Seth, it felt hollow. What good was winning a war of words when his enemy refused to fight?
But he was coming for him, he knew that for certain now. He wanted that main event at Wrestlemania, he wanted that shot at the World Heavyweight Championship.
He couldn't let that happen.
But then, as a Scottish poet once said, "the best laid schemes o' mice an' men, gang aft a-gley." Seth injured his knee a few weeks later. He would not be able to fulfil his promise himself.
So he took inspiration from another Scot...
There had been another who was equally enraged at Punk's return. That same night, at Survivor Series, he had stormed out when Cult of Personality hit. A towering, hulking brute who had grown jaded and angry. Who had a knack for putting other superstars on the shelf. Another, who had entered his name into the Royal Rumble.
'Drew McIntyre,' Seth accosted the Scottish Warrior backstage.
'What do you want?' the huge dominant snarled down at him.
Seth was unfazed. 'I believe we both have a common enemy.' McIntyre's eyes narrowed, a sparkle of intrigue in the intense blues. Seth knew then and there that he had the dominant's attention. 'You say you want to redeem yourself?'
He leant in close, whispering conspiratorially.
'How would you like to be the saviour of Wrestlemania?'

Day 3 - Old OC(s) ! uhm i made these three originally pre 2018 (all at the same time), but I did reboot their story sometime in this decade before redesigning them and, i guess, also designing them lmao. before then only iam (ghosty girl with the long hair) had actully ever been drawn, though sindy i've always had the idea of a blue dress and pigtails. originally they were 6-10 years old and existed in short stories i would write. they also have one superpower each. but since i grew up and they never had a real like continuity or anything, when i decided to use them again i aged them up to highschool and using my memory of this longer story i attempted once, gave them a falling out in their friendship and decided to write about how they all die.
i wound up scrapping the death thing later but it's incredibly funny that i immediately was like "how about i kill them" and tht stuck around for a while until i looked at sindy's death and thought i could make like a nice theme out of her NOT dying. so. yeah.
(prompt list) character refs and more on the characters below!

Sindy was always the youngest and bubbliest one of the trio. her power is foresight, though originally she could only see up to a few seconds into the future. I upgraded this to a week and came up with her seeing her own death and being able to do nothing to stop it. which is actually a really neat allegory in hindsight considering how she died. take a gander at her death. For her younger design she's always looked something like that. gave her mary janes bc those were like the only shoes i could wear as a kid. For her older design... yeah idk i just wanted to keep her more childish still with an increase of black spread throughout. yknow. for depression.
Tumblr media
amelia is the oldest* and most mature of the group. artificially mature. her power is teleportation! i don't recall any drawbacks but it was probably that she could only teleport short distances at a time. but she like. just did chain teleporting to get around this lmao. sounds like something i would design. originally she died by earthquake. like she was hit by a rock just as she was teleporting out and then she was just an electric current. pretty neat idea. For her younger design... Amelia initially had no design. just long brown hair. I think she was designed to be more modest in order to reflect her personality, though? I'm not sure. I like giving characters boots. For her older design i thought "rebellious teen". one of the "popular girls". with certified angry depression. i probably should've mentioned that i was following the bad end version of that longer story.
Tumblr media
iam (originally a name i made the fuck up pronounced "i am" but i guess you can pronounce it how it's actually pronounced. bc it IS a real name) is intended to be an age between sindy and amelia but she's part ghost. so. anyway her power is that when she dies, she respawns as a ghost in a cave her first incarnation died in. and after a while of being a ghost, she respawns there again, fully alive. kinda like when you bubble a friend in co-op mario. but worse. her personality was very feisty and temperamental. because she was a kid. she mellows out after her imaginary boyfriend got banished to a parallel dimension. actually no she doesn't she gets the tears depression. they all get different depression. gotta catch em all? she didnt have a specific death. actually her death is old age bc thats the only way she can die and then get reincarnated. i decided that at some point.
for her younger design i always just drew her looking like that. not the scars, maybe, but she had raggedy clothes and frizzled hair. because she just keeps dying. it's like sport for her. for her older design... yeah no that's just a natural evolution no notes. actually 1 note. i think it would've been neat to keep it relatively the same design and have her not really age when a ghost. but that's a bit too tragic and allegorical of grief for me right now

how do you deal with art/writer's block?
You deal?
Tumblr media
No but genuinely uhhhh good question. Funny thing was just a few days ago I came off of one of my most debilitating art blocks yet. Usually, my blocks work like this: when I am art blocked, I will write. When I am writers blocked, I will draw. My art blocks usually don’t last more than three days. My writers blocks can last a couple months.
(More explanation below)
It really sucks, though, when both blocks strike at the same time. My most recent one, as I mentioned, was just terrible. It lasted a little over a week (which I know isn’t a very long time, but it’s much longer than what I’m used to!) and I spent every day trying to get out of that slump. I tried to force myself to finish some WIPS (Miraak ref sheet, Dagon lineart shading piece), made a new character + ship (Harwith and Ghorbash), and pushed my way through an animatic. A lot of the week was simply spent playing God of War in my free time though, lol.
For me, art block is just a lot of padding and waiting it out. But I think something that really helped me this go around was realizing that I didn’t have to work on projects necessarily. I tend to enjoy 99% of all my art once it’s finished, so it was hard to figure out what was a project and what was a “just for fun” piece. Once I worked that out, I just drew some things that made me happy: a new Ego design, and some light experimentation with my favorite cannibal lad. That gave me a lot of inspiration to work on a whole new animatic, which was.. very strange, but very eye-opening! From there I’ve tried to get a good grasp on what I consider projects vs pleasure pieces.
In short: I think 70% of the process is just waiting it out. It’s miserable and I feel so sluggish during those days, but it’s all I can really do. Hammering out some WIP pieces kept the hand steady for when I would climb out of my hole, but it’s not something that I’ve ever been able to force to end. I don’t have much advice, but I do have experience, so maybe even a new perspective would help assist other artists in learning about and exploring their own art block? Idk, just some food for thought.

updated refs for a character you guys have seen before (rumia but a big deal) and one i’ve drawn before but haven’t posted here (miss iwanagahime)
one of my goals for this year is to update some of my old ocs -- though technically speaking both of these are canon characters in one way or another -- and so, y’know, i thought i’d make a strong start
summaries under cut. if you want
Shinguro Ryumiya (新黒 竜宮)
Capable of manipulating darkness
Ryumiya was born from, well, the joke of Rumia. The idea that a youkai of darkness was meant to be intimidating, but ended up being just a weakling. But, you know, darkness used to be a lot scarier than it is now -- if anything, with all the electric light pollution, perhaps we don’t have enough darkness.
So that got me thinking; what if Rumia wasn’t always a weakling? What if she used to be really strong? What if -- and bear with me -- she used to be one of those really strong youkai who helped build the Barrier, but she did it too late, and ended up reduced to little more than a feral beast?
More than that, what if, by storing a little bit of her power in that charm in her hair, just enough to keep a bit of what she used to be around, and with a little bit of scheming, she could get it all back?
Then I turned those ideas into a very rough draft for a fangame with her as the final boss, got through about a route and a half, and got distracted. That’s the same game as those two fish I reblogged ages back without context, actually.
But she’s here now! The concept of Ryumiya is that she tied her idea of darkness to more unknown, abyssal darknesses, like deep space and the ocean floor and even stuff like eldritch gods and the like in order to make herself into something that humans still don’t understand and thus fear.
She’s much more powerful than she was even for a long time before raising the Barrier; in addition to her traditional powers of darkness manipulation, she gained the ability to create youkai from the ocean depths (there could be anything down there, after all) and she gained the ability to create pseudo-black holes from deep space (not that she can control them once she creates them, though, so they usually pop pretty quickly). Of course, having spent a full century as a weakling, she’s still kind of a loser, but that’s her charm point.
-----
Iwanaga Yatsugi (岩長 弥継)
Capable of manipulating volcanic activity
Yatsugi comes from... I think specifically it was talking about a character belonging to someone in the occasional discord who was tied to Youkai Mountain that made me think about its other resident kami, but truthfully I’d been thinking about her since I first read that one chapter of CiLR. After that, it was really just a matter of, well, making my own claim of the identity of the Hakurei Kami.
Because like, despite only being mentioned twice, Iwanagahime is kind of important to Gensokyo, right? She’s the kami of eternity, so she’s who Akyuu prays to; and she’s the kami of Yatsugatake -- that is, Youkai Mountain -- so presumably she was involved in the negotiations surrounding Gensokyo’s location.
Probably? I mean, I don’t think ZUN really thinks about this bit of lore so much, but at the same time I wouldn’t be surprised if he dropped something in the next chapter of CoLA that totally contradicts this idea. But that’s why she looks like Reimu.
Until then, though: Iwanaga Yatsugi. Not a Sage (she’d honestly be amused to be regarded as such), but rather the foremost representative and the greatest beneficiary of the establishment of Gensokyo. Honestly, I feel like she’s probably not a hugely active character, unlikely to cause or resolve an incident, but probably shows up to parties a lot. Mostly acts like a retired old person who doesn’t have to work and spends all their time doing a relaxing hobby (in her case, using heat and pressure to create precious gems).
I drew her with Reimu as a point of comparison, but obviously canon says Reimu doesn’t know who the Hakurei Kami is -- but then again, Reimu’s never been the most observant...
Unlike Ryumiya, I never really had plans for Yatsugi beyond making her, but she exists now. They both exist. I might put them in a piece of writing at some point (sooner if anyone requests. wink wink) but until then. Please enjoy responsibly

Hello! Since you said that you have Mors for nearly ten years I am curious how he came to be and how much he (maybe) changed in all those years. (Really amazing character btw <3)
Thank you for your compliment and question! Very interesting question and the answer will be... big. And full of my old cringey drawings, enjoy. :D
So, it was far 2014, in my rat era (at that time I was obsessed with rats, but I still love them). Searching for rat art I came across a bunch of rat-dragon hybrids and it inspired me to make my own design. So I made the first sketch (December 2 as I can track) and as I decided to make it not just general species design but a distinct character I drew this colored ref.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
So basically it was just a rat-dragon, neutral but pretty aggressive.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Mors was one of my characters, who developed through text rp. And for one rp plot my friend suggested to make Mors demon and insert him as an antagonist. It was about half a year after his creation and since then he is an evil demon.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
But at that time Mors had pretty plane, one-dimensional personality and his motivations usually came from his hedonism, greed, possessiveness, sadism and ill curiosity. He still got that features now, but I've added some more dimensions.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Coming up with his humanization (so it doesn't piss me off) was a long path.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
I believe, this sketch was the first, where I decided to give Mors this... ehh... side bang (but here it isn't as long as now).
Tumblr media
And as general design wasn't changing so much, his personality was constantly undergoing some modifications. Mostly related to empathy and romance (and some of his powers, but it all has blended in my head, so I won't go into details). So it shifted from "his inability to love is a punishment and he is unsympathetic bastard" to "demons can't love so they don't get vulnerable" then to "he can't love due to his psychopath and narcissist nature". Even that has changed a little — Mors can love, but it can be almost as dangerous and traumatizing as his hate, since he doesn't know how to make healthy relationship.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
In 2019 I made redesign and these colors are still actual now. As I remember, his personality was pretty similar to what he has now, only shifting a little.
Tumblr media
About inspirations and influences. I suppose, maybe Mors' palette and this goatee were influenced by Jafar from Aladdin. Or maybe goatee came from basic image of Devil/Mefistopheles as is his whole archetype. Also he took his exquisite manners, calm demeanor and tailcoat with gloves from Sebastian from Black Butler. Hannibal from series defined his cruel and manipulative side and Lucifer, also from series, gave him that "Oh no, I'm a monster 😭" drama queen thing. Actually I once started to make his kin list but forgot about it mid-process. I will make it, I promise.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
So, Mors came the long path from quite plane character, both in design and personality, to a complex person with his virtues, flaws and inner conflicts. He is still a bad guy though, but it doesn't mean he can't get better *wink*.
Thanks for reading! I hope it was interesting.

screenshot saturday!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
so uhh
this'll be a short one
sorryyyyyyy
I DO HAVE STUFF FOR YOU THOUGH
for example....
Tumblr media
you might be wondering what the hell this is
this is a background for the visual novel aspect of the game!
well, an unfinished one.
i based it off this screenshot i took off google maps!
Tumblr media
some of the things i need to add are
well
pretty much everything lol
but let's be more specific:
you see how in mine, all the textures seem flat, while in the real photo, the textures are defined?
bit funky innit
the thing is uh. i have no idea how to add texture like this in pixel art.
ive tried many times and it just looks really bad lmao
so i've done some research, and i think what i'm looking for are called "clusters"
never heard of those before
also whenever i look up a tutorial for drawing them they just basically say "just draw these funny shapes!" and i'm like "okay but wHERE. YOU CANNOT JUST TELL ME TO DO THING. I NEED CONTEXT FOR THING. OOGA BOOGA BANG ROCK WITH STICK"
completely unrelated but i've noticed that whenever i get two ads on youtube, i can't skip them both at once
like when i press the skip ad button, it just goes to the next ad
don't know if this is only happening to me but it is REALLY annoying
fuck you youtube
i suppose i should dedicate the end of my post to the project itself.
ANOTHER QNA!
Q: Will you charge money for the game?
A: Complicated question.
this game is the epitome of a passion project in my eyes. it is a story i am telling not for any of my own personal gain, but simply because i feel like it is a story that needs to be told.
but enough of all this sappy shit, i'll just explain it simply:
when this game eventually comes out, i will either:
a: open the game up to donations (like the "name your price" thing), the majority of which will go to charity and anyone who helps on the project or
b: make the game 100% free.
Q: Do you accept fanart of the characters?
A: UH
YEAH????
if you draw my characters i will literally go bonkers /pos style
i unfortunately don't have an official ref sheet for any of them yet, but i'll be able to provide substitutes if asked
i think it would be cool to feature some of the fanart in the credits! (with permission from the artists, of course!) but that may take up too much space so i'll have to think it over.
tldr i fucking love fanart
Q: What about NSFW?
A: ...
Okay.
Listen.
I HIGHLY advise against it. I'm a minor and that's just like. weird.
Even after I turn 18, it'll still be weird because they were characters I first drew up when I was 16.
but at the same time, i accept that this is the internet, and that some gooner supremo will eventually stumble across this game :/
so i just have one definitive request.
PLEASE
FOR THE LOVE OF GOD
DO NOT INCLUDE CHARACTERS WHO ARE UNDER 18
for example:
You may remember Silhouette.
they are CANONICALLY 13.
so like. keep them out of it.
i don't care if they're "just a character". you could say my fist is "just a body part" right before i bash your face in
if you want, i can provide the ages for any character you ask. i have a whole spreadsheet!
so please.
anyways that's gonna do it for today
to everybody who isn't youtube: i love you and thank you for being here
i will see you next week!

IT'S NEW YEARS OVER HERE SO LET ME LAUNCH MY BABIES AT YOU FOR IT!!!!
In case you want their backstories, I just recommend you go over to their Toyhou.ses respectively, as- typing on Tumblr is a pain for my PC. My PC hates Tumblr in particular for some reason, whenever I format text, and I can't LIVE without formatting text as a hobby-author man. xD
LINK TO MARCO'S STORY
LINK TO ZORRO'S STORY
For new users; Marco was made by Heavenly-Hellfire and Hollowed-Hartlocke. I bought him back in 2019! Still love him like it's day 1. My best, most adorable boy <3, he's become my actual role model, I love him sm ;:
In case you never read them before, hopefully you enjoy the reads!!! I hope you can forgive the older grammar on Zorro's. I def plan to rewrite it, once I finish working on my raider-code. (It's been taking so long bc I'm trying to learn to use the CSS mixin z-index class-type. I still can't figure out image borders for the life of me, but I learned rotation class-types LOL.)
I've wanted to redraw both their reference sheet for almost YEARS now. Ever since I've gotten Marco, I continuously evolved how I draw him, over and over, to a point his old ref had become a detriment, due to how differently I draw him nowadays LOL. One thing that desperately needed a redo for him especially, how his hair is supposed to be drawn + his wings. His wings looked like floppy chicken nuggets on the old one LOL. PLUS! I added a section of details, where I see artists I commissioned, struggle with or fail on. Hopefully the detail section is sufficient in fixing that! I'm not sure, if I should also add a mention, of Marco's dot details below the pink pattern, as even the distance between the dots is different. + I LOVE DRAWING EXPRESSIONS. So to also add a small box of extras for Marco's cool glowy eyes was a treat. <3
I plan to redraw his refs for his magic wind attacks perhaps, as for now, I have a shabby drawing, and I got a free animation program lately, so I can FINALLY unleash my years of experience animating, in the appropriate program now LMAO. My own limitations of using SAI to animate, was making my animations look choppy and bad for years unfortunately, so my art always looked very amateur-ish when I actually know how to animate..
Speaking of that, for the attentive...Yes, I plan to possibly try and draw a 360° turnaround of my characters, as the next natural progression of refs next. I am SO close, so so SO close to making my art finally look like it's part of my project I've been working on for years in private. Ever since this year, people have proven, that you CAN start an animated series on the internet, and it will receive an audience. I also wanted to start an animated series when I was a teen, and now that I'm an adult I can make it happen for sure, with the right talents. When the time comes, I might seek out a music producer and perhaps, if I'll have the money, hire animators, so that I'm not the only one who has to work on the series I planned.
For Zorro....He had it coming. Last time I drew his ref, he looked like a 16 yo/ mobian child, it pissed me off for so many years, once I learned how to properly make adult characters look adult lol. THE CEREAL SPITTER NOW ACTUALLY LOOKS ADULT AND LIKE THE BASTARD SELF HE SHOULD BE. I don't have too much to add to him, but I consider him still a WIP in my brain bc- RAIDER PAGE CODE. I WANNA FINISH. GRABBY HANDS. I CAN FEEL THAT IF I LEARN Z-INDEX FINALLY I CAN REALISE THAT CODE. I've wanted to make a code for my raiders 3 years ago already y'all it's painful to be patient w/ myself sdgkldslgdsg
I'm so satisfied, with my ref sheets finally looking, like a professional drew them imho!! If you disagree w/ that notion, feel free to tell me what's missing or where I need to improve on! :D
My 2024 started amazing and with laughter and appreciation for my friends, I'm so happy finally. 3 years in a row, all I did was cry each new year, and be in pain. 2024 feels like it could be my year. Year of the dragon, bless me with your energetic and powerful spirit please,, 🙏
ANYWAY. Forgive me in advance for watermarks, but I kind of? Am paranoid now over my art a bit bc my work is good now? Like I think I'm in the final stages of my artistry. I can feel, that I might find the perfect style soon. I need to experiment just a bit more. Just a bit more...I might consider loosening up my linework in 2024. I honestly still? Hate lineart? Like..My lineart looks good now, don't get me wrong but. I just love sketchy artwork so much more??? Sketching is so fun, creating is so joyful, when it's a sketch..But lineart kind of.....Ruins my art. I think I should loosen up. It's why I might change my approach a millionth time, but my artstyle has potential now. I don't feel, like my art is awful anymore or worth nothing, it now HAS worth, I now HAVE the right to have an ego about it, but some pieces still are missing, to give me the ultimate happiness and relief in my work. Perhaps if I do some more commissions, I might unlock my final potential? We'll see.
My aspirations for 2024;
Pass the prep-exam for my workplace (I LOVE MY WORK. I SINCERELY WISH I'LL PASS. I love work so much omg I don't wanna be fired so badly)
Draw more art of Finn & Marco so they finally pass Chloe in most images on TH (I REALLY DON'T WANT HER TO HAVE THE MOST IMAGES STILL. It should either be my comfort boys or C.I.Ta)
Be more experimental with mixing medias traditionally (I wanna start mixing mini craft-projects + my drawings or mix more pencils + markers and also glass pens + watercolours. I rlly rlly wanna experiment and go loose.)
Animate more and possibly even post said animations. I know animation takes me HELL OF A LOT of time, as I lack so much time to do so, but I'd love to do that
Stop stressing so hard over OTA's and commissions. I know I tell myself each year, "this year will be the year I wanna finish all my owed art!!" But every once and a while, I need to be a realist to myself, my optimism may be good, but it sometimes..Is a little over-eager. But I noticed in 2023, I really heavily strangle myself out. I haven't drawn any private art since 2020, really.....It says a lot about an artist, if they now haven't drawn a personal drawing and finished it, in the same quality of their owed work for 4 years now. I haven't been really honest to myself and my heart, and I'd like to forgive myself slowly, by allowing to both work on owed work, and start creative, passionate art-projects again, again, where I can let loose and just. Experiment. Do something new. Push the boundaries of my art. Combine medias, collages, etc, anything under the sun I wanna try. I limit myself so hard, over chasing a goal, I can't achieve, if I won't acknowledge, I'll cause my own death as an artist, if I continue to chase unattainable goals, I can't achieve, if I won't be gentle to myself.
Finish revamping my commission sheet. It requires, I draw new examples of course. The big thing I need to warn ahead; I will have a fat price-increase, due to work taking all the time I can have now. I can only work around 4hrs a day on art. My art takes around 20 hours to be finished. Every piece is done with love, with time, with effort. I'm not an artist, who adheres to algorithms. I'm an artist who lives with passion, with freedom in mind. I have an endless amount of ideas, I have an infinite amount of space and ways to create it. I am not a machine, I am, what an artist strives to be. To simply...Create. AI can go to hell, and drag NFTs along with it. I to this day get attempts to be hacked, by tech bros, believe it or not. I pissed off BAYC on Twitter once, and some butthurt idiot, is still trying to get to my Insta and Steam to this day. Won't happen anymore with 2FA idiot, lmao. I won't allow a 2nd hack to happen.
Finish giving ALL my characters on TH a floatie icon. I know w/ 100% certainty, that I got this task in the bag. This one is of no problem at all.
With that, thank you for reading my world-salad! Almost as tasty, as mom's olivier-salad. Yumyum. Btw secret lil teaser ig below here lmao. I started Finn's sheet too, and I've got it 1/3rds done, but I don't wanna burn myself out on ref-sheets, so perhaps you'll see Finn also reworked in a few months! ✨

@thousand-winters HELLO I AM BORED AT WORK SND THIS ENABLED MY NEED TO RAMBLE ABOUT HER
Sorry the rambling gets kinda messy and are sorta unorganized jfjffjfjfjfjfjfj
Also sorry that im starting off w talking abt how the concept of her just kept growing LMAO
At first I only was going to make this one post about her. Then i thought of this idea and thought it was funny enough to draw and went “okay thats it.” Them I kept getting more ideas and couldn’t stop thinking about her. At first, I thought when I kept getting ideas, I would just leave her at 4–5 years old forever and only have ideas with her as a young kid bc its cute. And then I drew and animated her as a high schooler. And then my brain went “what if you gave her a little sister to create a parallel with Mob and Ritsu?” and thought how it’ll be more fun to have interactions between her and her currently undrawn sister when they’re older (which i absolutely plan to do!! I have ideas to draw for her and her sister once i draw her sister’s ref sheet!!!!). Anyway she’s become a whole character now lmao
She’s super expressive. Her emotions are just so big and she feels her them so much. Easily excited by even little things. Will often also speak without thinking. Also she’s a bad liar. She can’t lie to save her life. She also grows up doing simple exercises with her dad, and finds that she loves running!! She joins the track team in middle and high school and is one of the fastest runners!! She also loves her friends and family a lot!!! And the shirts and dresses her Uncle Teru gifts her
Mob raises her teaching her a lot of the things Reigen taught him especially when it comes to psychic powers and being a good person, and whenever she says these things to Reigen like “this is what Papa told me!!” whenever he’s babysitting her, Reigen gives her a thumbs up and is like “that’s great, Haru-chan!! Your papa is right!!” Then he turns around to hide that he’s ugly sobbing bc the advice and lessons he gave to Mob when Mob was a kid meant so much to him that it’s being passed down to his own child. He keeps every drawing she gives him.
(Also Mob absolutely knows that Reigen is using her for exorcisms. As a little girl Harumi would get too excited to tell him all about the adventures they went on together. She starts getting paid later on when she gets older, but she doesn’t care too much abt it she’s just happy to just spend time with Uncle ‘Taka, which she continues to call him that even when she’s older. Serizawa once tried to talk Reigen out of using her for exorcisms when she was still a young kid but nothing will get in the way of Harumi spending time with her Uncle ‘Taka)
Harumi also figured out at a young age that Reigen has no psychic powers but she goes along with it as a little kid bc she thinks he’s just playing a game. Like he’s playing pretend with her except shes actually an esper and not pretending about anything.
I didn’t expect to have much about Harumi when I first thought of her just bc of how she ended up coming to mind but now I love to think of her when I’m bored. Just her and Mob being a great father-daughter duo.
