oh and basically since my hcs are kinda scattered between posts i'mma just make this a little clearer here:

joe wildwest is dino's father, and is also becky and sean's uncle. dino, becky, and sean have a relatively fantastic friendship despite the fact that joe has a slightly threadbare relationship with becky and sean's father (that being joe's brother), but also will stand by him when push comes to shove.

terry and cole went to highschool together, as did todd and dina (at a separate institution). hunter also attended todd and dina's school for a while, but then moved away; he bullied her when they were students, and both of them struggle immensely with the after-effects—her with the shards of her self-esteem, him with the guilt of having done so. they're not really on speaking terms.

joe is an audhd king. change my mind.

It's a BareBones Brigade Halloween!

I'm sad that I don't have something new to post for this year's leadup to halloween, but this is an illustration from last year that's still very close to my heart. Everyone on Caliosteo is here celebrating together, the patrol team, the former commanders of the BB Brigade, and even Joe Wildwest himself. What's more, it seems they all decided to collaborate and dress up with some BB Brigade flare (maybe it reminds them all of the good old days).

I remember working tirelessly on this one for a near month, and it was honestly a really fun project in hindsight that I wish I could replicate. I have the distinct memory of staying up all the way until Halloween morning making sure that it was perfect, and I wouldn't have had it any other way.

Since the image is a bit widely cropped and not the most "mobile friendly," here are some close-ups on the batches of characters scattered around Ribular Isle. Dina and Rupert sticking close together (as usual), Cole lashing out at Lester after finding out that he stole some of his hair dye (as usual), and Pauleen's Amargo acting snarky, Todd getting himself into trouble (as usual).

Here are also some WIPs from this one. This was the beginning of the phase where I started refining my sketch lining rather than doing a whole separate layer of lineart on top of an original sketch. It's honestly super satisfying, and I recommend anyone who likes drawing to try it out!

As for the lighting, when I do a shading layer I like to change everything underneath to be a solid white, it makes it easier for me to create realistic lighting in a 3D sense, almost as if I'm forming the shape of a sculpture. Plus, when it comes out like this before adding in color everyone here looks like a ghost >< (how appropriate)

One more thing, I made these little pfp icons to go with the Halloween vibe, also making one for Kris (one of the characters from my own Fossil Fighters sequel story). All of their last names are purely headcannons of mine, but there's still a bit of meaning behind all of them.

Being that I'm half Greek, I've always seen Dino and Dina as being short for Κωνσταντίνος and Κωνσταντίνα respectively (also because that happens to be my Greek name, where Dean comes from ><) so I think it makes sense to give them a Greek last name that may or may not also connect to something in my own story.

As for Rupert (still going with my own headcannons), both he and Kris originally hail from Bockland, a European-based Fossil Park that's just as big as Vivosaur Island/Caliosteo. Both of them act so posh and well-mannered, and I'd love to come up with a reason for imagining Rupert with a slight British accent. Kris's story comes a good 9 years after the events of the first 2 games, but she shares a lot in common with Rupert back when he was her age, much more than just being from Bockland.

Thanks if you read this far. I'm both happy and sad to be able to share and talk about this illustration again. If there's anyone here on Tumblr seeing this for the first time, then I'm very happy I can share with you.

I hope you all have a happy week leading up to Halloween night!

#SixFanarts challenge featuring the most fossil fighters ever lol

[falselyemmit]

I think my favorite part of the post game in fossil fighters champions is the fact that there's an attraction where you can pay to beat up Zongazonga's corpse.

Like that's one way to deal with your trauma ig Joe

Who was your choice? Mine was Joe 🥰

[beast-feast]

I don't remember the last time I drew him but I miss the character design of Fossil Fighters. It's so goofy but so charmingly cute

When you have the smallest battle form out of your friend group, you tend to have a unique set of Problems to deal with...
