@emanshehab recently messaged me, asking for help with their campaign. The shehab family is low on funds and donations have slowed.

Please donate and share, every little bit helps!

✅ Vetted! They are #111 on the gazavetters list here

Red, the Color of Desire

Some canon era Enjoltaire for you. Just wanted to challenge myself to draw something that was very hand based instead of relying on faces. I think it went pretty well. I have to draw a lot of hands at my works so I've gotten really comfortable with them over the years.

Anyway I hope you like it. Just a little bit of Enjolras/Grantaire steaminess.

sellbot cog redesigns!!!! :D thought process + extra design deets under the cut! (waning: its very long LOL)

cold caller: loosely based off of their tto trading card! rotary phone because uhhh. duh they call people, big pointy nose resembles icicle, elongated eyes / eye scopes? idk lol resemble allan. the shape of the receiver is supposed to resemble earmuffs almost? + little teefies

telemarketer: this is probably the most. vague design LOL but they're an auto-dialing machine! specifically based off of the one from the simpsons coz it.. felt fitting idk. i definitely took some liberties but they have a speaker mouth, an indicator bulb for a nose, and the cassette portion is their eye ^_^

name dropper: this was one of the harder names to translate into a design since it doesnt have any ties to any physical items / ideas? so i ended up just building upon their base design. the glasses and bun give them an uptight secretary vibe + gave them more droopy features such as a longer nose and hoop earrings to replace the old ones

glad hander: not much to say about this one. HAND!!!!! my original redesign for this had their eyes on their palm while the fingers sat on top but. idk. it felt more fitting for their hand to be in a fist while the eyes were on the fingers. it makes their middle finger look like a nose

mover & shaker: shaker -> salt & pepper shakers. ez pz. the lids look like little hats too

two face: this was a little tricky coz i like the double face look they originally had. but double talker already has that model and i think it fits them much more than it does two face. i cycled through a few different ideas but eventually ended up with this, inspired by the mayor from the nightmare before christmas & the way his head operates :P

mingler: nothing changed. literally perfect. mingler is peak cog design. just tweaked their colors and gave them a stronger head + hair shape that stands out against the others

mr. hollywood: same with name dropper & mingler, they have a vague name thats hard to interpret BUT the og design was already so good there wasn't much to change Anyways. i was subconsciously inspired by Something while designing them but i dont know what, i guess 50s celebrities? also inspired by ernesto de la cruz from coco!

as a general rule of thumb: i stuck to the same color palette for all of these designs (except for the blue in cold caller & two face. obviously) in order to communicate the fact that they're from the same department. for the more human cogs i tried to separate different parts of the head using color & lines (forehead, cheekbones, chin, nose, etc) in order to give them a subtle robotic look but you can't really see it lol... i tried to keep their GENERAL head shapes but some of them wandered a little far

+ i actually made palettes for all of the cog departments to work on if i ever want to make more redesigns! i'll stick them here since they're on topic

An illustration from my Enjoltaire fic Drink to Forget, which I've just finished writing yesterday! You can go read it in its complete state. This is a scene from chapter five where they're sitting under the wisteria (my favorite flower) that made me happy to imagine so I hope you like it too.

My favorite part of Neopets was always the faeries and Faerieland! Really wanted to redraw one of my favorite loading animations from the site.

I gave all the faeries redesigns too! The theme I had in mind was "Faerieland meets Euphoria High" lmao, so my redesigned outfits are more casual than the high fashion I tend to draw, but I think it fits their personalities better while still being chic.
