mmmm phe has some pets :3

My ass was bored today and i did some ✨character development✨ which mainly consisted of giving xem some pets so! That’s what this is! :D

so. This was me contemplating shit originally (i did not in fact have any references for these snakes so most of them i had envisioned. Do Not Exist :,D

don’t take any of the info on the picture above as gospel bcs the names, breeds, etc have completely changed dhjdgddd. last night i mini rabbi hole’d on sneks and actually figured out breeds n allthat

but goddamn that tiger print snake is gender

aaaaaaaand here’s the final-ish designs for the dudes!!

So we’ve got:

Wolf:

Wolf is a red, yellow and black milk snake. She’s named after Wolf Alice, one of Phe’s favourite artists. Also she just thought that naming an animal a completely different animal name was very silly (it was me. I thought that.)

Donny:

Donny’s an albino ball python. His markings are spots rather than the normal splodges (the markings are like the ones on the reference image below). He’s named partially after Donny from Baby Reindeer, partially after xeir uncle and also just because he curls up like a donut.

Cali (not greeny lmao):

Cali’s a smooth green snake (yeah that’s what they’re actually called hdhjvghd) She’s named after both Cali from FunkyFrogBait channel and as a nod to Zerocalcare. It’s 2 funky Netflix shows (tear along the dotted line and this world can’t tear me down) that go very hard and that Phe loves, as they should.

god how i love talking about my oc’s obsessions like i didn’t project all of them onto her :DD

But xey also have a cat! did you forget that?? i don’t blame you if you did bcs i. Didn’t mention him :D

This fucken kibby is called Nikko and is the sweetest little calico you ever did see!! He’s a chubby little fella who will eat. Everything like genuinely he has a problem hdjdhd

please send help /j

Also he’s named after Ashnikko because. Gay Icon. Obviously 🔥🔥

This is probably the illustration I spent the most time and effort on in the past year or so tbh,, This took... 5? 6? hours... Oops.

I've been enjoying Hazbin Hotel so far, so I decided to combine one of my favorites there with one of my favorites from Enstars because... why have two brainrots when you won't combine them? I did not intend for this to be Natsume birthday art (I don't usually do those) but I happened to finish this on his birthday

Natsume palette version (white & black swapped):

Huh-

Turns out I've never posted this-

Ages ago I got some outfit meme requests from my friends, and Launchpad was one of em-

[iliketrainmen]

CW: Potential eyestrain. Potentially disturbing imagery. Mild blood. Not really sure if this would count towards violent tho.

I know the burden of expectations and responsibilities can be quite heavy,

But this is what you wanted, isn't it?

Always found it interesting how, in the anime, Roark ended up getting all of his duties and responsibilities pushed onto him by other people. Due to his connection with fossils, I feel like he would've much rather been a full time paleontologist than a gym leader and foreman of the mines. Yet, due to everybody believing him to be capable of the jobs and his hatred of disappointing people, he's effectively stuck as is.

Poor boy.

Anyways, new drawing tablet acquired. Yippee. Yay! Wahoo. Works wonders honestly. Also, next post should be something a little more lighthearted. I've been going through a time lately so my art is a little sadder than usual.

(Fun fact: had to redo this post because I accidentally added a poll and couldn't remove it. Thanks tumblr mobile.)

[kakusu-shipping]

You’re definitely not being annoying and it wouldn’t be weird at all! and especially since it would be your birthday gift! :D and tbh I would really enjoy sending asks just for the Ideal Polycule (I mean for last year’s F/o takeover event I was the anon that specifically sent an ask for them ^^) also you could still add Zen to the Polycule if you want to! I mean I don’t much about overwatch but he would totally still help you with food/eating even though he’s not a foodie and + his warm color palette goes with everyone else in the Polycule! :]

You guys are so nice to me for literally no reason you're both so sweet.

I've never held an event up for a long amount of time, I think the most I got was like a week? We're gonna see if I can hold out all of February, if we have enough content for it.

Thankyou both so much for your feedback! I'm looking forward to this now!! I hope it'll be just as fun for y'all as it is for me!

also lil bonus the real behind the scenes reason why Zenyatta isn't in the ideal polycule officially;

I digitalized some of my sketches from Discord shenanigans

Idk why this last one is so crunched lmao - it was probably smaller than i'm used to working with.

Hehe i had fun

‣Download Novel Defaults | Posters (MF)

‣Alt download: Novel Defaults | Posters (SFS)

Before my diary defaults, I was in the process of creating book defaults to match my game! I wanted some to match the funky, nostalgic, and silly Maxis Match-ish style that I enjoy!

I also decided to make recolors of the FT Artig poster with these novel covers for a future build, I included those as a separate download in case anyone else is interested.

If you are using any other mod that replaces the novel cover icons in the write a novel screen, make sure ziSimChi_Default_NovelCoverIcons loads after it.

Each novel is based off of existing media: ◦ Reference - the one that started it all, is now Skilling for Simmies, inspired by the For D*mmies series (feat. a new mascot). ◦ Romance - The Rogue's Groom, inspired by the many romance novel covers starring Fabio. This one features a cameo by the beautiful Carlos Suarez, from @eulaliasims's amazing Middleground! ◦ Children - Gooseflesh: Night of the Living Bunnies, inspired by the Goosebumps series. ◦ Cooking - The Complete Gelatin Cookbook, inspired by the horrifying mid century Jello creations. ◦ Drama - Running with Scissors, cover art inspired by Kubric's A Clockwork Orange. ◦ Mystery - Everyone Nose What You Did Last Summer, inspired by Louis Duncan's I Know What You Did Last Summer. ◦ Sci-Fi - Plantimorphs, inspired by the Animorphs series.

Credits: • @episims for their original textures, which I used as a base to build my textures around. • @eulaliasims for Carlos Suarez, a fine romance novel cover model! • @franzillasims for the many similish fonts used. • For D*mmies and Goosebumps for their cover templates, which I traced before editing. All other illustrations were freehanded.

The more I learn about your comic... The more I fall in love with it. Especially your bugs! Like can you explain more about them? I'm really curious about them (from the full bugs to the hybrids and anything else that comes to mind).

Anyway your art is wonderful and I adore seeing it on my dash. And you can info-dump too. If you want ofc.

Thank you!

The worldbuilding is a work in progress (as it always is, but the first chunk of the comic itself is pretty self-contained so we've been slowly tinkering at the rest of the world and creatures as we go without affecting it much), so we mostly have loose rules and ideas for the bugs as a species. Or anything in between for that matter.

For all intended purposes, bug people are all the same species and can usually cross-breed within mechanical constraints, as well as mix with the elves we threw into the mix. Genetics? Don't know her. We operate on Sims logic here.

A full bug has roughly a human lifespan, with some variation depending on the type of bug it's closer to and some type-specific quirks. The one we've explorer the most, as it pertains to Ashton and the latest batch out of the oven, is the ability that some types might have to undergo metamorphosis, usually at the expense of lifespan. This is Ashton btw

And this is Ashton pre-metamorphosis:

Something like this isn't super common tho! So despite me drawing a bunch of butterfly or moth people they generally don't get to that point and stay looking more like funky lizards with many arms

Bugs can have many arms or legs or eyes, funky colours, exoskeletal bits, antennae, or look pretty close to your average human/elf with hidden bug features. Dahlia for instance is a vaguely spidery bug but can easily hide a bunch of her eyes and secretes venom thru hidden glandes so you could mistake her for an elf

Meanwhile it'd be very hard to mistake someone like this guy for anything other than a horned bug

If u catch my drift.

Some bugs are small! Some are huge. Some are out there committing atrocities

Some dont look like bugs at all

They're generally not as physically strong as the average elf but more resilient in a cockroach kinda way. They can have a chaotic range of circulatory systems and internal organs that sometimes just make them really hard to kill and its also pretty hard to keep track of every variation of the species and their quirks.

That being said in a lot of places they're super common and coexist with elves just fine, mix up and it's also not super uncommon to have half breeds like our man Staeve (the ThUG edition). The closer you get to elf the longer you live and less "non human" traits you have. There's also a bunch of different types of regular ass elf and it all falls under the elf category unless we decide to name them something else down the line.

Then you've got a smaller category of super elves that have been isolated for so long they never blended with anything else, are more attuned to magic and in general have a sort of mythical status amongst everyone else. They also have the longest lifespan at around 250 ish years.

That's sort of the TL;DR for now! Ollie and I have started to put all the info we've got into a single repository and do want to start sharing it (probably as patreon posts for now) because comics are slow and the scope might not encompass that much of what we want to explore of this world. And the chaotic idea machine never stops

Here's a metamorphosis meme for ya
