trick or treat!! 🎃

oh my what a splendid pumpkin! youre a touch early but let me see what i have...

ah! here you are! have a lovely Halloween!

[effallya]

hi! do you ever post process videos of any of your stuff anywhere? :) and if I may ask, what's your process for figuring out perspective lines in your art? i love your style sooo much wow

Hi!!! Thank you so much!! as of yet, no videos, but I’ve been mulling over how to do it (eg, tiktok……) because all my canvases have time lapses recordings on them! So hopefully soon 🙏

As for perspective, I owe clip studio paint’s perspective rulers my life and afterlife 😅 my only other tip off the cuff is, the horizon line is where the eye level of the image will be. This recent Twitter thread by Jim Zub is very thorough and has lots of good tips!

(And corresponding video)!

Happy arting!!

🎁 Amethyst from SU? :D

Wow this was in my drafts for whatever goddamn reason I don't remember why. Better late than never I suppose!!

Ohh it's been a while since I watched SU but ya know I love my main man Amethyst!

day 20, beehives! Gonna be honest I didn't really know how to do this prompt but uhh, did my best!

[fadebolt]

Made some alternate designs for our beloved annoying weapon (with gameplay ideas that I might add in later).

Alternate Paincone Ideas include: Leech Nest, Sparkle Disperser, Ice Hive, Breeding Cocoon, Rot Sentinel and Fire Hive.

I mean Pain cones are a type of bee, probably modified by ancients to be used as some good ole fashioned home defense, right alongside the red lizards

tbh i thought they were just like that because they suck

[askmendaxandfriends]

midnight, you should punch Mendax, I’m sure that’ll end well.

also I heard they were insulting Fridge and calling them mean things.

Midnight: "As much as I'd like to punch them, I know that's a horrible idea."

*Midnight then proceeds to throw a paincone at Mendax.*

Day 20: Paincones for the paincat.

[i3utterflyeffect]

the slugs are done cooking!

anyway here's yellow, blue, and red!

Blue

Blue has the ability to store more than one thing, including extra food, in cheek pouches!

They also can make baits for other creatures if given the correct resources. This can be great for them to lay out to attract an eggbug or something, but isn't a sure-fire way of getting food before the cycle ends. Admittedly, Beckon's cycles are much longer than Pebbles', so they get a solid amount of time outside before the rain.

Can and will eat anything! This includes things that are not digestible by slugcats. Probably has eaten a spore puff and immediately thrown up. Also sometimes will die spontaneously and be the one to discover that something is poisonous. If they were playable you could probably eat certain things that'd take your pips instead lol

instead of netherwart, they eat bubbleweed! similarly exotic and not found in Beckon's surroundings, and probably grows more around Abberant Creation/Crafter of Connection. actually did i mention that alexcrafter/CoC and AC are the same person. i don't think i did. that's unrelated tho

instead of getting scars from lava, it's instead from toxic waste like you might find in the Garbage Wastes. They can walk okay still, miraculously, but the skin has become extremely sensitive and any injuries in that area would hurt a LOTTTTT. They learn this after trying to pluck a paincone and getting swarmed.

Also related to the scarring, has a very high scav reputation due to saving a baby scav.

Yellow (there's no yellow text so it's orange. oops)

Expert with explosives and can craft grenades on the go. Grenades are made with a cherry bomb and a rock. They can also make a spear explode on impact-- different from an explosive spear since it's made with a grenade rather than the red cloth(?)

VERY VERY bright. had a habit of eating beckon's neurons when he wasn't looking and by the time they learned not to they were already glowing like a flashlight

probably started wailing upon learning they were eating beckon's brain on accident also

can basically craft anything like gourmand. has made VERY dangerous things before by complete accident. such as previously mentioned nuke.

Has probably broken a karma gate by trying to figure out how it works. probably the karma gate to the void if beckons even has one. no ascension for the kids. not that i think they'd ever WANT to

Has some degree of electric resistance. you'd be surprised at the centipedes they can survive

can and will fix things for beckons with only the motivator of love and sheer willpower

Red (imo the most interesting)

can and will befriend anything.

for comedic value these creatures are included in the pool of things red can and will befriend. i mean maybe not the centipede but also it'd be very very funny

is differently colored because their niche is in mimicry! their tail has eye spots to scare off vultures and if they slap their tail it may look like it's about to bite! it's used to scare off predators, which red deals with more often than you'd probably guess.

looks like something else on first glance but don't worry about that

high lizard reputation! just more likely to survive beasts in general actually

i was initially going to say the monster school is an interspecies lizard pack but then i thought of what monster school would be like in rain world and that's the funniest fucking thing ever so i'll leave it up to y'all. dropwigs learning how to dropwig from a giant fucking miros? maybe a guardian if you're feeling extra silly? or train lizard who has taken in a ton of stray lizards. who knows...

gets gifted a yellow bandana by Abberant Creation or scavs maybe

surprisingly low scavenger reputation. they're not kill-on-sight but definitely 'oh shit troublemaker incoming. watch out' (they get better reputation after blue helped the scavs out tho)

their pig friend (reuben) is a yeek btw. if you don't know what a yeek they're the best critters in rain world

anyway i thought of some interesting things that might be able to happen but i want them to be surprises in case i end up writing slugpup shenanigans :3 if you want to write a fic you can ask me though

i'm working on green but they suffer a chronic lack of significant abilities i can work off of :pensive:

Day 8: Sights

The course the Gold Saucer had set up in the Sylphstep shouldn't really have been accessible from the outside, but sometimes when passing though the briar below, one couldn't help but be tempted to try nature's own Leap of Faith and test their luck. Those with the courage or the luck might get a quiet course and a champion's view all to themselves.

I am besotted with the canon that Leap of Faiths are just field trips outside and there's dangerous jumping puzzles just...dangling in the air above various landmarks around Eorzea. Has a Garlean stealth plane ever knocked into a goal mark in the middle of the floating city of Nym? Has there been noise complaints from people trying to have Eternal Bonding ceremonies having to hear people scream about 'paincones' all the time? Do they get little field trip sandwiches on the airship flight there? I simply must know.

Random encounter: a field of paincones (joke)

TA: NOOOOOOO *Amalgamation tries to run past as quickly as possible*

Do you have an unpopular head cannon or opinion about Rain World?

honestly...i dunno...i don't know what would qualify as unpopular heacanon or opinion other than like super-personal headcanons like names for blast and grenade and stuff like that...

so im gonna drop some of my headcanons for funsies !!!!! maybe one of them could be an unpopular one !!!! (i think that specifying something would likely help me think of something that is actually unpopular maybe...like honestly unsure)

i headcanon that most naturally born slugcats [in the area we explore in-game] have a naming system that goes from pupname(like Firecracker!) to a titular name once they just decide that's what they want to go by(like the Friend!) and pupname is still valid but others WILL likely call you by your titular name. here's a whole rant on it actually:

this headcanon was born from people calling their children simple names like bubble and cloud and stuff so i thought it'd make sense if titles are just something they end up having when they grow up if they decide to. but again, i think it doesn't apply to every slugcat.

2. all kinds of names for in-game stuff + names in code = different dialects. i spoke about it in my parrots reblog, but i think it'd be neat if slugcats from different areas just had different names for stuff. so what pebbles&moon area slugcats will call cherrybomb, beehive, flashbang, grenade, coalescepede, a slugcat from afar, like gourmand or rivulet, would call firecracker, paincone, flarebomb, scavengers' bombs and spiders. i think it's a cool idea.

3. white lizards' hatchlings have black bodies and white head/scales like other lizards do, but they develop camouflaging abilities as they grow. based on this!

that's what my oc, murk, is based on! he has a very rare condition which just doesn't let him develop camouflaging properly.

4. slugcats have unstable dna...like eevees. so that allows them very easily develop new traits in a very few generations to adapt more easily. my lizard pack exploits this idea! their parents were just slugcats with somewhat similar markings to lizards, but they have developed scale-like things and well defined marking that really make them look like lizards.

hope i didn't say too much stuff!! i just wanted to yap about headcanons i could remember

Moon and scug vs paincone (starring scav in shoreline despite the fact scavs don't spawn in shoreline)

incredible, we love to see it
