I found this nice linework in the trephacard tag and nhg, I could not keep my finger from the "crayons"

might not my be best colorjob but I only did it to relax :)

It's so cute how they snuggle together.

Fun fact, you can quite easily translate a sketch to lineart by selecting the color of the paper around it, inverting the selection, creating a new layer, drawing over the slected areas, and cleaning it up to make a whole new quick; direct translation of the sketch in its own lineart layer!

In fact, I did so with @samijen‘s sketch and colored it in, as the bonus part of making the new lineart its own layer is that coloring gets a whole lot easier!

So there ya go! Insert plug for my commissions here.

Review #8 GLOOMIZER - The Weeping Eyes GUEST REVIEW

Hey guys, it’s been a while. We’re back on review number eight and just in time for halloween! I am going to try and get back to one review a day for october, emphasis on try. Anyways, I had a lot of trouble for this review because I... really do not have many strong opinions on gloomizer.

So! I decided to make this a special one since it’s the first one after a long hiatus. The first ever GUEST REVIEW! Handing the review over now to my friend @titleknown

------------------------------

Heya, for the review of Gloomizer, it’s me, Titleknown! You may remember me for refusing to shut up about the Creative Commons or for banging on about my Patreon that only makes ten bucks a month! I am here for a guest review! Of some floating eyes!

Yeah, apparently though Bogleech wanted to do this concept since the beginning of Mortasheen (According to the old Deviantart entry) Gloomizer’s design is remarkably bare bones for a Mortasheen creation, even admitted as such by Bogleech themself on the old Deviantart entry, but its powers are interesting enough to be worth a look twice-over.

Essentially, it’s got a comically gloomy personality that is contagious!; No, really, it can essentially spread its own ludicrous level of despair; produced by the twin brains occupying those ocular orbs, to everybody else in the room, with the idea of “Inducing auto-mutilation at a stare” being mentioned.

That is not only clever, but also a great case of tying powers to personality; a classic trope of creature design that creates a cohesive-feeling entity with a lot of potential for storytelling.

The “perpetual downer” is kind of a classic comedic archetype, and they’d probably make a great foil for; say; more comically direct or obstinately cheerful/obnoxiously twee creatures.

But again, that design. I mean, it’s a classic; simple design, but I can’t help but think that it could have been slightly more elaborate. I’m not sure how, maybe emphasizing the veins or making the gelatinous coating more prominent or doing weird stuff with the pupils, but probably something.

This monster’d probably benefit a lot from a redesign in color honestly, to make those distinctions pop. Heck, I even did my own weird colorjob of the original art, though your mileage may vary as I did get a bit off-kilter:

But yeah, in the usual rating scheme of the blog, I would give it a 3 / 5 for its neat power but overly-simple design. But, on a more personal level, my final rating is A 50/10 .

It’s simple and arguably necessary, but there’s probably ways it could have a fair bit more flavor added to it.

But, after this review, inspired by The Daily Bestiary and my own dedication to decadence, here’s three story prompts for how to use it, after the break! Because the RPG’s gotta get out of development hell sometime, right?!

--

- As often happens in Mortasheen, yet another scientist made an arbitrary and stupid bit of monster hybridizing with more “mundane” (For lack of a better term) organisms, a combination of the eyeballs that grow like grass around Mortasheen city with the Gloomizer to create an effect that; from an individual eyestalk; appears much weaker.

But, in this case, it ascended from “Arbitrary nuisance” to “potential ecological threat” when it escaped and began causing mass die-offs. Because, while one stalk is far weaker than a proper Gloomizer, in aggregate they’re far stronger; and more widespread in their effects. And now, a squad of “cleaners” have to eliminate the infestation before it spreads too far…

- An entire village of Gloomsday Devilbirds have gathered around a gargantuan; ancient Gloomizer wedged in the ground as essentially a sort of mystery cult; dedicated to this being of ultimate; arbitrary despair.

If one could befriend them (As much as one “befriends” a village of horrible monster-birds), they could gain valuable allies and, a valuable weapon in the form of the gargantuan Gloomizer’s rays…

- How does one pacify an ancient living weapon? Why, with endless despair of course! At least, that’s the logic of the professor sending you down into the bowels of a gargantuan entity; said to be a peer of the dreaded Ultimates; which has been showing troubling signs of motion lately.

The idea is to get a Gloomizer into its brain to allow the Gloomizers eternal despair to keep the entity down while it’s vulnerable; placing that straight near the source. Trouble is, it’s always unpleasant at best to drag around such a thing, and even moreso when the thing you’re dragging it into has curiously active bodily defenses…

------------------------------

Thanks title!

My own opinions on gloomizer are, as I said, kind of sparse. It really does not appeal to me much both in appearance and description. It has a simple design and a straightforward method of attack. This is a case were the design is just too simple for me to really enjoy properly.

and with that, my harsher personal rating for Gloomizer is a 2 out of 5

Pretty low but really that’s how I feel

I did a colorjob converted from a sketch of @polygonalfish‘s, in a very Vaporwave-y color scheme, and I might as well show it off!

Poly hasn’t officially named this character yet, but I like to think her name is Terry-Anna and that unlike most spider-bot characters in fiction she’s actually really sincere; sweet and generous, if a bit of a doormat sometimes.

Also, fun fact, if anybody wants their lineart/sketches colored like this, I offer commissions on that for 10 bucks at paypal.me/TJohnson616, or for 20 bucks for a full-on art piece! So, if you like what you see...

“Scared Kobald Gal” Sketch by: guoh-art Color by:  PlazmaSquid

Took 2 hours to color Finished this 2 months ago, but had laptop issues. I also wish I had a good ref for coloring these. I feel like I’m completely missing the mark with them.

[titleknown]

Okay, for context, @drawfee decided to do a vid on Cuphead in alternate artstyles, and I got the impetus to color Julia’s horrifying John K-inspired version! I hope I got the grungy color scheme right!

I’ve been watching a fair bit of Drawfee lately, and loving it, with it scratching that same sort of whimsical “improv worldbuilding” itch as Monster Factory.

While talking about it, out of all the stuff they could do, I’d adore to see them do an ep on drawing Public Domain superheroes* they’ve never seen before; to go with the eps doing that for Marvel and DC, and one on drawing Mortasheen monsters** just from a name and description alone ala those Pokemon/Superhero episodes.

Hope you’re listening y’all...

*Which there are a shocking amount of, thanks to publishers royally screwing up the copyright in the early days of comics, which there’s even a wiki of at pdsh.wikia . com, which I can’t directly link because Tumblr will nuke this in the searches otherwise.

**Which is basically a worldbuilding bestiary project like if Pokemon looked like Warhammer 40K or Todd McFarlane but had the tone of Discworld or Hitchiker’s Guide. You can find it at bogleech . com/mortasheen.htm, which I cannot directly link because; again; Tumblr is headed by a bunch of archliches who feed on their users loathing.

[brillosbox]

sketch was done by a guy who doesn't have a name or a tumblr yet, so for all intents and purposes we'll call him anonymous.

anyway, the his/her linework's really good, so i just did some basic cleanup and slapped cel shading and very basic colors on it. i'll try harder next time
