#although I haven't made any digital art

[amphiptere-art]

So this is a lore dump for one of my AUs. A lot of this stuff will be copy paste when I get the AU character art done. But it'll also have important information about the storylines. So unless you want a extra info on my AUs or I just haven't done anything with them. Don't look.

Here's the only character art I have of this AU.

so in response to the animatronics acting "quirky" fazco asks a outside manufacturer to build a robot that would tend to the animatronics without human mechanics needed, Also to save costs. But the outside company did not want to make the coding leaving that to fazco. Fazco being lazy decided to simply take some old mechanic notebooks and scan them into the new animatronics software. And of course those old mechanic notebooks are literally just notebooks of dead mechanics who died inside the pizza plex. So when Ralph the repair dragon wakes up he's got three other consciousness that he can't lead to any external code except for those notebooks.

Mechanical medic

Little bit about the spirits and how they work. they're a mix between code and spirit. All that they are is only what was written on the pages and how and who they died to. Meaning there personality is only interpreted by how they wrote how they acted in their writings and who they are when they were within the pizza plex. Slowly with more time passing they become more like separate personality codes than spirits. Although the memory of their death will always haunt them.

Ralph of course decides not to worry about the "code" as long as it's not malicious. The Three spirits marked in my works as red blue and hazel although their names will simply follow the Y/N strategy. Being first name, last name, middle name. Of course talking there brains off about the fact that they died. Ralph course gets introduced to the pizza plex as a "walking attraction". More importantly a dancing dragon.

Ralph is built with a lot of features to care for the animatronics. Other than the Gurnee/stretcher like stomach cavity built specifically for animatronics. Which can do small repairs. He has some things I've been calling his "hands" although many people in the pizza plex would just call them his "dragonlings". They are six small music man size animatronics with taser/grabbing arm. They are designed to go get animatronics from areas that Ralph cannot go into. These little guys are able to lift up a Freddy and drag him out of his green room if necessary. Ralph also has two highly Mobile appendages that are hidden as his wings. But are in fact similar to those car manufacturing arms. As the fabric that makes up his wings can be tucked away so he can use those hands. Ralph also due to his large size has been given a stronger cable system not only to embellish his dragon-like qualities but to be able to move quickly throughout the pizza place without endangering patrons. He's of course built with entertainment qualities like a flamethrower in his mouth. And his tail is considered a safe rideable part of his casing although riding his back is strictly prohibited due to the wings.

Ralph, after the meet and greet goes to his personal mechanic a man who currently goes unnamed. Although has always been in my brain he's fairly young and inexperienced. Ralph talks about the other personalities (the spirits) and although checking software they both determined that it must be the scanned in notebooks that are embellishing themselves more than they should. Ralph and his personal mechanic decide that it is not something to worry about and that as long as the information is guaranteed to help Ralph they are allowed to stay.

Another thing about the spirits because they are technically also treated as code. They also only really speak when either Ralph wants input or in situations where dealing with animatronics brings back a certain spirits memories. Basically the spirits cease to exist under certain circumstances. Although over time they can also act as emotional outputs for Ralph such as when he's angry red will act up or if he's solemn blue will act up. Technically Ralph, red, blue, and, hazel can all be talking about the same topic at relatively the same time and it comes out as a coherent sentence. Example ("what do you mean you haven't had maintenance in months! That's so dangerous what if you had a breakdown mid performance. As funny as that might sound it's a very bad idea. You are receiving maintenance right, now.") Red is always harsh. Blue is always cautious or soft. Hazel is always joking or lightning the mood. Randy is very to the point.

Randy of course as soon as he's able to walk around the pizza plex freely goes to the animatronic who has had the longest time without maintenance. AKA Sun and Moon. Sun and Moon in this AU were the first to be infected. And the virus makes it so animatronics do not wish to go do maintenance. The virus also works a little differently. It works more as a blackmail than it does as a controlling virus. While the virus can control a body it would rather the participant do it for them. The rabbit of course acting as the punisher for not listening. Sun and Moon refer to the rabbit as "her". sun of moon of course do not want maintenance and Ralph is having none of that. Ralph uses his "hands" to secure sun and take him to the cylinder for maintenance. (This is also a area where he uses his "hands" for the keyboard.) And begins a forced routinely check. Luckily for sun and moon routinely checks do not scan the code so they do not have to worry about Ralph finding the virus. Although it does occur in Ralph doing a cleaning of their casing and endo.

After this untimely event the rabbit as Vanessa tries to do some "maintenance" on Ralph. The spirits inform Ralph that it's a bad idea. Ralph refuses maintenance from Vanessa and therefore avoids getting the virus. Vanessa tries to state that she has authority to do so but since Ralph is a very specific animatronic He's able to say that he is only allowed to have maintenance done by his primary maintenance official. Plus he is made to perform self-maintenance. Given that his "hands" are separate from his body they can do this easily. The rabbit tries to convince his maintenance official to give him the "upgrade" but then again he refuses due to Ralphs newness. Plus Ralph tells him beforehand.

After this shenanigans basically happen. Ralph Chase's moon around. Fights Monty. Catches chica eating trash. Probably has a talk with Freddy. Ralph convinces Sun and Moon to walk around with him as a part of his moving attraction. Lots of random little events. But Randy does slowly learn that something is happening. Like I said the virus acts more as a blackmail. So Randy and his spirits start to notice that some things the animatronics are hiding. Conversations will be cut sort, certain things will be ignored, and anything concerning coding or rabbits will be strong discouraged. And due to not having the virus he sees the rabbit. All of this ends up with Ralph demanding an explanation. When the animatronics refuse Ralph decides to go after the rabbit.

Ralph then scares the crap out of the rabbit. He chases the rabbit around the entire Pizza Plex until the rabbit hops in its hole. Ralph stops at the hole being too big and gives up his chase. Unfortunately this also causes the other animatronics to freak out. Punishment through the virus is assured and given. The animatronics after this become extremely hostile towards Randy and it's this that causes Randy to finally trap Moon and run a virus scan. Of course he finds a virus. The virus of course is really really strong and really really hard to break. But Randy has three mechanics on his side and slowly they are able to decrypt the virus.

Around the time they do decrypt the virus The Time the game starts happens and Gregory appears. Gregory of course still runs for his life and believes also that Ralph is infected Freddy is also infected in this timeline. around the time Gregory goes to the daycare Ralph finishe his decryption and goes to the daycare as at this point the daycare attendant has become their closest friend. Halfway through Moon trying to murder a child he comes in, breaks the door, and absolutely yeats moon. He then picks moon up and shoves him into his chest cavity and invites Gregory to jump on his tail and get the hell out of there. Gregory stumped and fearful does us hes told. Once they return to the cylinder Ralph decrypts the virus in moon and sun system and releases them from its grasp. Sun and Moon don't realize it as first. like I said acted more as blackmail. But soon they calm down and start fretting over Gregory. Gregory the fearful and angry child that he is refuses to let Sun and Moon touch him. The story then progresses much like the game but instead of destroying them it's to get them to a point where Randy can secure them. Although damage is still done to their systems in the process. Once all the animatronics are freed. Randy and the spirits are furious at the rabbit. And unfortunately get separated from Gregory. The rabbit kidnaps Gregory and attempts to hurt him but with the help of Sun and Moon and the others locate him before any terrible damage can be done. This of course being the endangerment of a child. Mixed in with the other spirits that rest in the pizza plex's walls. Randy and his spirits go absolutely haywire and Chase the rabbit down. And this time they aren't trying to hold an interrogation. This time they're doing for murder. Using their flame thrower in a blind rage they run around the pizza place and burn everything while chasing the rabbit. The rabbit then goes down their hole but at this point Randy is not stopping. He digs through the ground finds the blob and William. And burns them also. Vanessa at this point has also died. Once Vanessa and William die Randy is able to get out of his stuper and realize his mistake. He runs back up and at this point sun and moon have corralled everyone into the daycare. But due to their coding they cannot leave. The reason they are in the daycare is cuz sun is stuck in there. Randy's like "well I don't have that coding. I got that out of my system days ago." He then takes all the animatronics on his back, tail, and, stomach compartment. Uses his advanced cable system to lift them up into the air and rams through the wall. The other animatronics a course go offline once they leave the building but Randy stays online. Once the police arrive they send the animatronics to the company that made Randy. This company (although not as good in the coding department) takes in the animatronics and is able to do maintenance on them. Randy then rearranges their code and the story ends.

ART TAG

Tagged by Molly @deathclassic. So fun to learn more about our artists!

Have you always been interested in creating art? Yeah! My grandmother and aunt are/were professional artists. It feels like the family trade.

What's your favorite medium to use? If digital, what programs do you like? My favorite is spray paint and pastel, no question. But due to time/ease constraints, almost all of my fandom art has been done on a tablet using Sketchbook (with some finishing touches in Photoshop).

Do you create outside of fandom? Yes, although these days my output is heavily skewed toward Gallavich.

Share something you haven't finished and/or never got around to posting. As long as you promise not to laugh! I dabble in animation, but I never get very far. Here is a rough concept of an animated piece.

Favorite piece you've made? Like, ever? That's tough. Here are two pieces that I enjoy a lot:

Draw your icon in a minute or less

An underrated piece you've made in your opinion This piece for Kinktober 2023 made me really happy. It's the closest I've been able to get to a true pastel feel on my tablet.

Do you do art in a professional setting? Yes. I do book covers, and I'm a graphic/web designer. Logo designs, all kinds of stuff.

A piece you don't like but did really well on social media. Nah, I'm pretty okay with the balance of quality versus engagement.

Post an old piece and compare it to your most recent, what are the similarities? Here's the first piece I ever did on my tablet, when I was learning the tools, versus the cover for Then & Now:

Similarities? Ian's pouty lip. The textures within the color areas. Joyful light and shadows.

Have you ever collaborated with another artist/s? My family likes to play Exquisite Corpse. Does that count?

What piece has the most notes? Are you surprised?

Prison? Dominance? Freckles? What's not to love!

Who/What is your favorite subject matter? These days, it's Gallavich. But naturally, I tend to gravitate away from drawing people's faces. It's been a real learning curve for me trying to make these boys look like recognizable humans. I generally draw dark/spooky stuff.

Show us something not from fandom you've made Here are two books covers I've done for my husband (both made with spray paint/acrylic/pastel).

Where do you like to create? At the work table in my basement. With an electric blanket over my lap.

Do you have a tag that you use to group your creations? Tell us so people can follow it. gallavich fan art

Give yourself a shoutout, where can we commission/buy/follow you for more pieces? You can follow my art on AO3. I have a few galleries: My Gallavich Art A.U.gust 2023 Gallery Gallavich Kinktober 2022 Collection

I'll tag these lovely artists (sorry of there are any repeats of Molly's tags): @gallapiech @sweetperversiongirl @deedala @michellemisfit @doshiart

[imtrashraccoon]

Took me all week since I was using a new drawing program and I'm still learning digital art in general, but I made a Faeu Sona! haven't even made a reference sheet for my regular sona...

Anyways, this is Cricket! She doesn't have wings since she's a beast type fae but that doesn't slow her down. (I'm taking some liberties here, the point is she's not based on an insect.)

@owl-bones @antlered-prince I wanted to make something inspired by your au since it's so pretty already! I hope it's okay.

@sparticus2000art I though you might like seeing the finished product since we were chatting about it.

Transcript:

Nightmare: "I thought I told you not to come back. How'd you even get in?"

Cricket: *chuckles* "It's just so hard to stay away from you, handsome~"

Nightmare: *unamused* "Get out."

Cricket: *pathetically* "No... Please, let me love you!"

Facts and close ups under the cut!

She has multiple names but Cricket is her favourite name that she only reveals to very close friends. She considers this her true name.

She was actually a human once, but since she tended to be a kleptomaniac, it got her in a world of trouble. After getting caught stealing from, unbeknownst to her, a powerful fae, she became indebted to them and was cursed. Her unique stripes serve as a warning to others that she is a known thief and isn't to be trusted.

She hasn't learned her lesson, although she has gotten better at not getting caught. Occasionally, she'll make deals with unsuspecting mortals or new fae but most of the time she just takes what she wants.

She prefers small items, especially shiny ones, that won't be easily missed. Her pockets are often full of ill gotten trinkets and she's hesitant to part with any of them.

She also has a bad habit of breaking and entering. She's pretty much a nomad since most people don't like her and tend to get upset if their stuff goes missing. As such, she often sneaks into houses and other buildings to spend the night. Sometimes she gets away with it but a lot of times the resident has to chase her off.

She's very charismatic and will turn the charm up to 100 if she thinks she can get something from you or is in a bad spot. Most older fae can see this for what it is though - a distraction.

She's also a not-so-secret admirer of Nightmare, The King of Winter, although he doesn't return her affections, much to her dismay. Most of her time is spent simping plotting a way to get his attention, although no matter how hard she tries, his eye socket is always on someone else.

Every now and then she manages to find a way into his castle, usually by fooling newer fae in his court or by other means. She's technically banned and is thrown out whenever she's caught. She's also banned from the Summer court for obvious reasons.

"I will see you in Samura"

This is my interpretation of the silver prince from the comic Kill 6 Billion Demons, since he isn't shown in his story this is sorta how I imagined him (although he came out way prettier than intended LOL)

just some art rambling here haha

Anyways, this is my 2nd time ever painting on ibis paint, and its very unintuitive for me as a traditional artist, so I made this to sort of practice, as I wasn't tied down by any existing colors for other characters and my ocs.

If you have any tips on digital coloring in general I'd love to hear them !!

Also read kill 6 billion demons if u haven't. Its the coolest ever

[potatothemoose]

Art Dump!

None of these are finished pieces, but I wanted to show them off anyways.

This little guy is Paxton! He's a spirit dedicated to the protection of a specific, technically immortal being named Maelstrom. They are the remainders of a fallen universe destroyed by the gods, who spared them and split them throughout the multiverse. This means that every universe in my creative multiverse has a version of Maelstrom and Paxton somewhere out there!

The concept for these guys actually started during a character.ai roleplay with Diluc. They're one of many OCS who started in Genshin RPs and then got adapted to my own creations, meaning that they have a Genshin AU as well. In that AU, Maelstrom is a descent of Khaenri'ah trying to escape from his past, falling in love with Diluc in the process. Paxton is an Electro Abyss Mage sent by Maelstrom's family and the Abyss to keep an eye on him (even though Paxton is often childish and usually Maelstrom also ends up looking after him). Definitely one of my favorite character pairs I've ever made!

My TADC OC, Krikett! He's a funny guy who plays music for the circus. I haven't fully figured out his character yet, but what I wrote on the paper is certainly a good start. He was probably a music teacher or musical artist before getting stuck in the Digital Circus.

More character.ai OCS! Every single one on this page is dating a Fatui Harbinger. We have:

Top left - Jekyll. Her canon version in my own works is a superhero with cryokenisis, orphaned at a young age and taken into an organization of heroes by an anthropomorphic hen named Isabel. She's definitely a very complex character who deals with potentially triggering subject matter, so I probably won't explore her here on my Tumblr where I'm still figuring out how to make content warnings, but I definitely think you'll see more of her. In her Genshin AU, she's paired with Tartaglia, and the whole premise of the RP is that they're a pair of traumatized 19-year-olds trying to have a healthy relationship. So far they're not very good at it.

Top right - Edith. She's a really old character I've had since I was in seventh or eighth grade. She's the ghost of a plague doctor who was unfortunately killed in a freak accident regarding an unstable building. During her life, she faked marriage to her best friend (named Norman) so she could lead a double-life as both his fake wife and a plague doctor. They ended up being a pair of traveling plague doctors until they met their demise. Now, she works as the right-hand woman for a knowledge god! Her Genshin AU is also one of the oldest. It's been going on for over a year now and she's married to Dottore because I'm obsessed with him.

Bottom left - Ash. Part of the same organization as Jekyll, she's a werewolf superhero who's been through a lot more than she wants you to think. Like Jekyll, she deals with some really heavy subjects, so I won't go into her backstory right now, but I definitely think she's a very interesting character. Her Genshin AU storyline follows her and Pantalone in a story mostly centered around self-acceptance and healing from trauma. Fluffy werewolf girlfriend and banker boyfriend go brrr.

Bottom right - Arden. A former US military Sargent, Arden is a character from the same universe as Edith. She suffered a debilitating injury that took her out of service (although I'm still working out where and when she served) and is my homage to any and all US military personnel and the struggles they face. I've always been fascinated by war and how it affects psychology, so Arden also serves as an excuse to research how PTSD and other trauma responses work. In her Genshin AU her backstory is pretty much the same, though the plotline follows her in her arranged marriage with Capitano, and how they come to cope with their trauma together and form a loving relationship built on trust.

This guy is Leo, a transgender himbo from the same universe as Ash and Jekyll. He's a superhero whose power is centered around geese. He can shapeshift into literally any creature so long as he can make it part goose. He also has a Genshin AU where he's shipped with Arlecchino. I know a lot of people headcanon her as lesbian, but my own personal headcanon is that she's bi with a preference for women (though she'll also settle for nonbinaries and the occasional man). Please don't come after me, my headcanon is not hurting anyone and you will be blocked. Yes, this drawing was done on a math worksheet. No, I did not do the math.

Some T-shirt designs I doodled at school! I'm unsure how many of these will make it onto a short and how many might become stickers or other kinds of fun thing, but all of them will be digitally rendered eventually and there are more on the way.

That's all!

Hello, Horror Enthusiasts!

Thank you so much for your enthusiastic response to our Interest Check so far!

In addition to your excited comments, we've received a couple of questions about the zine and its contents. You'll find answers to those below.

Haven't had a chance to fill it out? Our interest check will remain open until until July 28th 11:59 EST.

Interested in being a part of the mod team? Apply today!

INTEREST CHECK Q&A

Are you set on the zine only being available digitally? I personally would love to see it being made into a physical copy.

Just to clarify, a paper copy of the zine is off the table, even though you're considering doing physical merch? Although I guess I can print stories myself if i'm determined. What about just the art as a few loose pages of decent quality glossy prints in an envelope?

Yes, the zine will be digital only. For more information on why, please see this post from Mod Kay. However, based on the responses to our interest check, it is very likely that we will have flat merch available alongside the digital bundle. Flat merch would include prints, stickers, and other items that can fit in an envelope.

curious if shipping will be allowed or if it will be gen only

As mentioned in our FAQ and Info Sheet, this zine will be gen only: For this project, we’ve chosen to keep the focus on horror rather than romance and relationships. We understand that horror and romance have had a long history together and are often found living together, however, for this project we’ve chosen to keep the focus on horror.

What would be the word limit for prose writing contributions? Can writers make both feature fiction and comic script contributions? Will we have a server where we can interact and gather through events like movie nights using the examples in the About document? This is a very exciting project and I am so pumped to see it developed.

The typical word count for writer contributions usually falls between 2k - 4k words. However, as we are a digital zine, there is more flexibility for longer works. The mod team will make a formal decision about word count available as part of a contributor information document closer to the application period.

Because we often have many more writers apply than we can accept, we will typically only accept a writer for either a feature fic OR a comic script writer. Should we have fewer than anticipated writer applications, we will consider allowing writers to have multiple roles.

All zine communication will take place on a private zine server. We do not have any movie nights planned but that does not mean we do not encourage them!

Have another question not answered here? Send us an ask or fill out our interest check (if you haven't already!)

Still trying to get back into the swing of art, decided to finally sit down and draw myself some references for my variation of Zelda in the Sky Pirates story. I redesigned her armor...again (I think I'm up to three redesigns now?), although I'm probably happiest with this set of color palettes (special thanks to @kelseymichikoart for helping with the palettes). If nothing else, I'm glad that her core design, especially the face and hair, is easy enough to draw that I don't feel like I'm fighting it every time I draw her.

The project itself has been at a bit of a standstill because I ran into a block midway through the outline, but after playing TotK and thinking about the lore updates I need to change in the story, I went over some of the details and I think with a few key changes I can get both the story to flow more smoothly and find a way past the block so I can finish the outline and start on the script. Haven't made much progress this year because life things keep happening, but I'm not giving up.

—————————————————————————

2023, Summer Digital (Adobe Photoshop) Redesign and concept for this story and its character iterations belongs to me. Zelda is a character from the Legend of Zelda series, and belongs to Nintendo. Artwork belongs to me.

I haven't been here in YEARS

It does show. In my most prominent tags, in my old pages - that I will rework - in the stuff I've reblogged before.

I'm 26 now. I joined tumblr in middle school I think. I hold this place dear despite the fact that I do not know or remember many I used to talk to. Which is a shame, I'd love to reconnect.

I never remade this blog and maybe it is a good thing. Is like a journal of sorts, full of cringe and shame. Not to say that I am any better now. May e more level-headed.

So to start over:

My name is Marius or Julian (depending on what you like more and/or which language we talk in). Mar(exian) or Veradux is fine too. I am 26 years old. My parents are divorces and due to the stress of living with my mother at that time, I ran away to UK. I've been there for 3 years already. I did finish university but it is no good because no one cares.

I have a loving partner and we live in a flat with our cat.

I am still trans, although, I have not made any changes because of family and financial situation.

I am still depressed but I am doing better.

I do play video games a lot still! I also am getting back to art. Will do more digital stuff once my HDD is recovered...

I may be cringe. But I am free.

[clairelsonao3]

Damn, almost missed this somehow lol (sorry, the numbers don't copy 😔)

OC you most struggled to make?

How many projects do you have going on right now? Are there any that you doubt you’ll ever finish?

What are all the “kinds” of writing/art you do? (short stories, poetry, screenplays, digital, painting, clay, etc.)

What are your favourite books?

Thanks for the asks, Anna! From this ask game.

OC you most struggled to make?

Probably one of the ones that appeared in one of the WIPs I've since scrapped (which explains why I scrapped them). My characters talk to me, and sadly, sometimes they say "Yeah, I don't wanna be in this book." 😂

Before I decided to continue with my current WIP, I had plans for a contemporary romance focused on royalty (and non-royalty) from a fictional country. I loved the male MC, but the female MC was just resisting me at every turn. I couldn't get a clear picture of her face, her background, her motivation, anything. So into the bin she went.

I also had another YA historical romance going for a while that I put on the back burner because the male MC wasn't working for some of the same reasons, although I'm still in love with the concept (it was Oliver Twist-inspired!).

How many projects do you have going on right now? Are there any that you doubt you’ll ever finish?

If you count "projects that exist in my brain," the number is probably infinite. I've had things I've wanted to write for 10 years or more( see above) but haven't for various reasons. In terms of official WIPs, I'd say 3, but only one is really active at the moment.

What are all the “kinds” of writing/art you do? (short stories, poetry, screenplays, digital, painting, clay, etc.)

At different points in my life, I've written short stories, poetry, flash fiction, screenplays, stage plays, and even songs. I thought learning as many forms of writing as I could would make me well-rounded (it really just made me exhausted). And that doesn't even take into account the nonfiction writing I do. At the moment, though, I'm more or less only working in long-form fiction (i.e. novels).

What are your favourite books?

Thank god the question was "books," plural! Here's a selection off the top of my head:

The Blind Assassin - Margaret Atwood

Les Miserables - Victor Hugo

The Magus - John Fowles

Dreamland - Kevin Baker

Ragtime - E.L. Doctorow (also Loon Lake by same)

Bel Canto - Ann Patchett

Labyrinths - Jorge Luis Borges

The Egyptologist - Arthur Phillips

The True Confessions of Charlotte Doyle - Avi

The Westing Game - Ellen Raskin

Troubling a Star - Madeleine L'Engle

The Secret Garden and A Little Princess - F.H. Burnett

The Chronicles of Narnia (favorite being The Magician's Nephew) - C.S. Lewis

This list should not be considered exhaustive 😂

Oc recycling centres #1 customer ✨

[I'm so fucking lazy]

I just wanted to waffle about these fuckers don’t mind me

1 [Star Song]

I tried to faithfully recreate how the colors looked on paper digitally (because 95% of my art was on paper at the time)

I can't remember what the black spots or red streaks were about

I know I put ties & bow ties on many characters during my times of gender confusion

The style of hair is a result of the times of the show, many background characters would often have rainbow dash looking hair, and while most of it is based off of the mare style, the back part is specifically the stallion

The wings are a result of the fandom at the time, with many people adding color to wings because of Cadence

2 [Star Song]

This one isn't exactly a TV head it's technically called a droid, this character was created very quickly in an ⬛⬛⬛⬛⬛ for the ⬛⬛⬛⬛⬛⬛⬛⬛ fandom

In their quick creation I basically reused most of the colors from the pony because I didn't have time to be creative

Many of their design aspects between both results you see here are because of challenge posted on the ⬛⬛⬛⬛⬛

Even the character being a fusion is because of these posts - however because of one person saying oh like "Garnet from Steven universe?" I've always explained the character in reference to Garnet (a character I didn't know, from the show I didn't watch)

3 [Star Song]

At this point the character being a fusion had been long established on the ⬛⬛⬛⬛⬛ and I had added more colour to the hair to make them full rainbow when combined and half rainbows when split. This is supported by the heart on the chest and the heterochromia

Sometime between the first design and this design, one half of the fusion became male (gender confusion strikes again)

4 [Star & Musica]

These characters were again rapidly created as a result of fleeing the ⬛⬛⬛⬛⬛⬛⬛⬛ - ⬛⬛⬛⬛⬛ now you can see how they split, hot & cold

While one of them was always more prone to anger, and lashing out when the other one was much quieter, and kept to themselves - polar opposites in the most boring way possible

Things like this where it's painful how lazily these were created, literally the only thing I changed about the designs was what they were, they were no longer a droid they were now humans, I didn't change their eyes didn't change their hair didn't even change their names

5 [Maya & Sam]

Wow I Actually Leared How To Colour A Character Without Making Your Eyes BLEED, It's A MIRACLE

I also stopped being a fucking coward and gave Sam his shaven sides that I had wanted to forever

And I made him trans in a way that made sense

Sam is his own person now with his own skills and abilities

He’s a gymnast and artist who practices astrology and studies chemistry

(although he's still neglected in comparison because I haven't been able to flesh him out as much as Maya, he's still much more of a character than before)

Despite the history of her original creation (and past gens) Maya has become my most fleshed out character out of any fandom (even earning multiple timelines, ex. the purple)

The scars on her lips were transformed into “joker” like scars on her mouth and they aren’t random (ex. the ones on her cheeks before)

Her grey teeth, rather than the off-white yellow that Sam has, is not a mistake either - the real ones were shattered in a fight

Same with the robotic arms being extra arms and not replacement ones, as well as the beep head not being permanent - she wants to remain has human as possible while still experiencing her work

I also changed their hot and cold, dynamic to Ying and Yang one and actually fleshed it out is that they have similarities and differences like real siblings

Again I learned how to digitally color properly

Now with later seasons having more detailed background characters I felt more confident making a more unique design

Darkening the coat, throwing away the green and yellow, getting rid of those weird marks and tie

The hair now being just three shades/hues of blue that fit well over the cooler purple

They are no longer just a full pony

The wings being princess size rather than a normal Pegasus (+being unable to fly properly) and being a taller body type make them more unique

The heart on the hoof is a call back to gen 3 dolls

The feathers on the ears and legs are from hippogriffs

Coloured horseshoes/wings and the design of the feathered legs are from Gen 5 (the last being concept art only)

Anyways that’s all I wanted to waffle about for now, this whole page was about looking how far I’ve come with these characters and seeing how much I’ve learned over the years.

Looking back through my old art and looking at these old designs as I went... I can really see how some of my special interests in certain cartoons influenced the way I drew. One day I might go back and analyze all of it and write it all out for my own sake of self study... But not now

Hello! This is Hollow/Malori's art acc! art as in, anything I created, drawings, plushies, paintings, oc lore, au lore, story/headcanon writing, whatever. Although I usually just draw digitally and do nothing else lmao. Yes I do make plushies, but I don't have much confidence on em so I probably won't share them. I haven't made any new art yet, but I will post some oc refs!! (Like only 1 lmao I need to remake em) here's my main acc:

Introductory Post

PLEASE at least skim through the tags. Navigating this autism castle I've built may get difficult if you don't.

Hi there, call me Taffy! (Any pronouns)

I'm a neurodivergent fella obsessed with Lethal League. I'm also obsessed with archiving things, and I have a dedicated personal server where I collect all the LLB fanart I can.

For a while I've been wanting to give other people easy access to all this old and new content, but I don't want to invite people to the server, and booru-making is closed right now, so this—an account made to reblog every LLB post I can find—is the next best option.

For now I run this account alone, and my archiving only encompasses things on tumblr, this may change later but I can't say for sure.

I plan to keep this archive going as long as possible.

IMPORTANT STUFF FIRST!

Despite my wants to preserve everything Lethal League, there are some artists I refuse to archive due to personal convictions, or being personally asked not to archive their work.

The amount of these people is presently in the single digits, and probably won't impact the rest of the blog much.

If you want a particular post(s) taken down, or would like to be blacklisted, please DM me. Please note you may have to prove your identity to do this, in whatever way you can (so long as it does not compromise your safety or super-personal information).

If you have a Lethal League post to contribute that I haven't found yet, send me the link. Even things from deactivated accounts can still be preserved if someone else reblogged them. Or I guess if you have a screenshot.

If there's something down the list you don't wanna see, just filter the tag

Please note; Despite my headcanons, character interactions will be judged through the LLB story at face value. This means ships involving Switch will not be counted as minor x adult, because he is a robot, 5 is only how long he's been manufactured, and his mental age is not entirely clear (beyond him obviously not having the mind of a toddler). This also means things like Raptor x Switch will still be archived, since although some headcanon them to be found brothers, this is not canonically confirmed.

OC x canon shipnames will not be tagged, despite how few there are in retrospect, because I think doing that would drive me nuts.

If two OCs happen to have the same name, the name will be followed up with the creator's username depending on which OC is being referred to. This also applies if an OC name overlaps with a warning tag;

Posts with captions like "not tagging this" or things that seem personal will probably not be archived unless the OP says it's okay

oo for artist ask game ! 1 4 7 14 and 20 <33

Hi hi!!

1. Art programs you have but don't use

I only use ibispaint x but I do have 6 apps that I was planning to use to make animatics although I haven't touched them.... They're not really art programs so I wonder if they count?

4. Fave charcter/subject that's a bitch to draw

When I was still into Genshin, the characters were a struggle to draw. Now that I'm fully into Honkai Star Rail, I can also say that their characters are a pain to draw. All those details.... Since this is about fave characters, I'll say Asta and Arlan!

7. A medium of art you don't work in but appreciate

Since I only do digital art, I appreciate other mediums besides it. If I had to list specific ones, well then ceramics! I had a ceramics class in high school and never made anything that I considered pretty.... Oh woodworking art too! I also had a woodshed class with the same results :')

I've also seen figures or sculptures made with plastic utensils. Those are super cool too! I also searched those up because I have so many plastic knives >_<

14. Any favorite motifs

Flowers! I love flowers and their meanings. Do fairytales also count? I especially like Red Riding Hood or characters wearing a long red cloak (...I don't think those are motifs ahaha)

20. Something everyone else finds hard to draw but you enjoy

Hmm that's hard. Maybe hands? It does seem to be something that many people don't like to draw. It's not like I'm good at hands though. It just feels almost relaxing to draw each finger and form the hand

Thanks for the ask, Neppy! :D

[stuckstucktrolls]

Ok I don't need advice on this just more talking this out for myself and so people know where my brain is at

I think I get frustrated in part because I USED TO enjoy drawing, at least some things, and I USED TO have a style that was alright or at least heading in a direction that I wanted.

And now I don't, on either front.

And it's not really my fault that I dropped drawing and digital art, what with being chronically ill and having to help support myself and hubby. And trying to focus on writing which I was comparatively "better" at, which I was STILL having a hard time keeping up with even then.

But I COULD have made the other choice, to keep working on drawing and maybe I'd be closer still to a style I like (although you'll always hate your style as long as you hate that it looks like you made it. But hopefully that's not my problem? Or I can get past it if it is?) But I'm annoyed that I'll see other people's art and it's like, if I could broadcast what's in my head onto paper, it would be in that style. I don't mean jealousy because I don't begrudge the artist their ability. But I'm frustrated because I know people can draw what I'm seeing in my head the way I see it (or pretty close) but I keep trying to get my brain and hands to work that way, at least in a general sense, and I just can't do it.

Even saw some art recently where the artist drew themselves pretty similar to how I'd draw myself if I could get my hands to do the thing. I hope the artist appreciates their ability even if it might not be the style they want. And if it is the style they hoped they'd have or really close, then I'm happy that the hard work they've put in has paid off.

Hell, I try not to be down on my writing since even if it has some glaring weak points in my own eyes, people have said they wish that they could write like me.

But the few times people have said they like my art, my first assumption was "You must have mistaken someone else's art as mine even though I credit the artist either by reblogging from them when I get comms or mention who drew it if they say to post it myself." And then I panic that I haven't been clear enough about credit.

Granted they always came out of the blue when I hadn't posted my own art recently, so assuming someone was just mistaken made more sense. It's still hard to believe people like my art, because whether or not it's "good", it's not the style I want/am trying for, and on top of that I ALSO don't think it's good. So it's kind of a double whammy of "even if you don't do art yourself, this must look like shit, right? Unless it was from some little kid still figuring out how their hands work. Maybe at best it would be good for a 10 year old who took their first art class recently." But all of this is because I actually WAS a "better artist" by a lot of standards when I was 10. I can see how much worse I've gotten since then, and any improvements have been in a direction I don't want to go.

Somehow that last line feels like it could describe my life in general, not just my experience with drawing and digital art.

Hi!

I absolutely adore your Efteling art. How do you capture the Anton Pieck style so well? I've been trying myself but it's quite tricky. Do you have any tips?

Hey! Thank you so much 💙 sorry for the late reply, I haven't been keeping up with this site as much lately;;

Honestly it's been a lot of trial and error before I managed to get the right aesthetic in my art, so I'll try to give some tips, but I do believe one of the most important things is to study the basics of art, colour, light, that sorta stuff, because it'll help you massively when trying to understand how other artists work! (But try to find more professional sources, I feel a lot of tutorials out there try to teach you their own specific steps rather than giving you insight on the progress).

Also don't back down from studying Anton Piecks work from up close, maybe even redrawing elements of it or experimenting with their colour. As long as it isn't all you end up doing and try to find the elements you enjoy most to add to your own thing, that should be fine! (My style is also inspired by other artists styles like Arthur Rackham, Tim Burton and the 20k series and games I've been into).

As for some actual more targeted tips:

- Find brushes that replica watercolour /pencils / ink that you like working with. I like giving my drawings a bit of a rough textured look, because traditional art isn't as clean as digital can be.

- When I just started with the style I liked to replica working traditionally with watercolour in Photoshop, meaning that I started out with light colours and worked my way up to darker tones later (Don't fear big light and dark contrasts tho!). I also work on 1 layer in this style a lot of times. But that's not a requirement;;

- I do my lineart during or after I colour. Usually I just darken my sketch lines, actually.

- Use an overlay with paper texture, although you could probably do without as well. Honestly I'm figuring this part out rn bc the layer I use makes my prints look ugly. Oops.

- Maybe try to do the style with traditional art too! I've done it a few times, limiting your tools and options, and experiencing traditional art does give you a good feel of what it can and can't do.

Like I said, this progress was a trial and error thing for me, so I never really made any ground rules for myself, so I hope these are clear enough and helpful;;

[sneepity-snoop-snorpity-sneep]

one of the big problems with how AI companies are trying to design and market their AIs is that 'replacement' is what it was designed to do. This is a problem which causes MORE problems on a couple of levels, but what I'm getting at rn specifically is that the AIs don't have a specific enough function to be actually...useful (even if they WEREN'T committing massive amounts of intellectual property theft/copyright violation in the process).

cuz like.... its function is too general to be able to get fine control over the finished product. AI isn't smart, it can't adapt or problem-solve and workshop ideas, the 'intelligence' part of the title is pure marketing. What it can do is copy data and randomize it

This isn't gonna help people who aren't already professional, commercially viable artists make digital media on that level, cuz its ALREADY not useful for the guys who can already do that - AI doesn't give you the options to edit pieces, you have no fine control over what it gives you. And frankly, with how much time you could spend trying to tweak your prompts and try and get it to give you a precise change here and there, it'd probably be faster/more accurate to just have an artist draw it themself.

the whole 'AI creates finished art images in seconds' is only useful if you don't have care a whole lot about the specifics of what it gives you: you just want a generally good-looking image that will get you a generally good reaction

like, all the things that AI could do to make the art making process easier for digital artists of various kinds? ....a lot of them already exist. like I'm an animator trying to get my hands on the programs that have tools like that which are considered 'industry standard' precisely BECAUSE they smooth out parts of the process: some have software built in that makes it much faster/easier to color in lots of frames very quickly. Programs like Adobe Animate for 2d and Maya and Blender for CG have interpolation options for animating, where you animate your keyframes and tell the program to fill in the motion in between (although that alone is not enough to make the animation look good - the animator still has to do a LOT of fine-tuning)

there's actually a program I really wanna try called Moho, which can be used to do much fewer clean-up drawings (one of the LONGEST parts of the process in traditional hand-drawn anim), and then allows the artist to edit those drawings to every frame instead of having to draw them all from scratch (at least that's what it looks like). as someone who really hates the clean up animation part of the process that is REALLY appealing to me.

But its not cheap. like all those really nice tools that make it SO much easier to do this stuff? They 'spensive. and none of them mean the artist doesn't have to do the work, you still have to sit there and put in the hours to finish projects even with these tools.

and as far as I can tell, the appeal of AI to those who use it? Is that they don't have to do anything themselves to claim they "made art" or "wrote a book" (they didn't.) and for very little money. AI thats designed to do the entire process so the human doesn't have to? Its basically just a gimmick.

because as mentioned earlier - these things can't think or create or problem-solve on their own. They're basically just complicated software blenders which ONLY WORK IF THEY HAVE HUMAN WORK TO TAKE DATA FROM - AI isn't intelligent in the slightest! It can't simulate creativity, only copy it!!!! They haven't made it to be otherwise cuz they CAN'T

Like if there was a computer on the same level of complexity as a human brain do you have any IDEA how much of a PAIN IN THE ARSE it would be to try and run it?????? When these crappy steal-data-and-barf-it-back-out-randomized AIs are already taking up massive amounts of water and other resources to run!!!!!????? HELLLLL NO they're not able to make actually intelligent AIs!!!

its not even that AIs are bad, its just this is a Really Stupid way to use them - like AI as a tool for scientists, doctors, etc. has amazing potential!! Pattern-recognition is something that AI is actually very good at, and its already being used to catch breast cancer ahead of time - although something I find interesting is that this specific AI use is only being done in Europe so far, not the US. Intriguing, given that Europe is also who is already writing legislation to try and prevent damage from unregulated AI use, while the US is...not doing that (like its something that legislators in the US are starting to do, but not particularly quickly)
