#grimmel art

[sleepingboar]

I portrayed Grimmel's mother, to one of the fanfishes I read. I liked this character very much from the words of the author, although she did not appear in the story.

This bulky chair was not made by Grimmel. In addition, the symbolism of Mara, the patroness of ritual fire (burnt feet), is carved on the section of its armrests. The arbiter of the trial of those who transgressed the law (she gave birth to a bastard).

Grimmel’s Pet AU

I think i am done with this but. Spoiled for heavily implied ||drugging||. Since this is an exceptionally dark au eh.

It has been a VERY LONG time since i’ve drawn this AU. Like. A year plus… if not two years holy shit I think the last time i drew art for this au was in 2022… GOOD GOD.

Anyways since it’s been a while since i touched him i figured i should give him somewhat of a redesign. He looks much older and is far more gaunt than the last iterations simply because the deathgripper venom has not just caused his body a *lot* of stress due to how much he needs to stay under control and render him… essentially… a shell. He doesn’t do much thinking, that’s for sure. His job is to kill, since that is what he’s good at.

Anyways yeah. The stress the venom caused on his body made him age quite a bit faster because he’s like… *checks notes* 28 in this AU if said notes are in fact correct.

Anyway.

*Scurries away*

Redesign of the character Alice from my old "The Rise of Darkas" AU story

"The Rise of Darkas" is one of the oldest and one of the craziest ideas of mine in the HTTYD fandom:D

My thoughts about this began more than 5 years ago. This is basically the idea for which I came up with the whole hulf-human Dragons thing!

The first versions of the plot were absolutely illogical and not thought out... But nowadays I continue to rewrite and add to this story, just for myself so far.. And this Deathgripper girl is quite important to the plot as in the old version of the story, as in the new ones, so, I wanted to work on her design a little better))

(However this is one of the few old designs of mine that I still like so there aren't that many differences))

Hope you like it!❤

Old design~

Alice is actually quite a tragic character..

In the past, she was one of Grimmel's top Deathgrippers. He raised and trained her from birth and Alice saw him as her master and practically a father, adored him with all her heart and never considered the possibility that he might be wrong, so of all his dragons she was one of the most loyal and obedient.

But one single day plunged Alice into complete shock when an event occurred that forces her only beloved human, master and "parent" to commit suicide, killing himself with her poison, just in front of her eyes..

(actions of this version of the story take place 2 years before HTTYD3, plot of which will never happen)

A LOT happened in her life later...

She saw herself in a half-human form for the first time.

She found herself a new master.

For the first time started thinking about her life.

Experienced real “parental love”, which, as she previously thought, Grimmel and her new master showed her.

And all this made her understand that perhaps both he and Grimmel weren’t as good and right as she thought..

This developed into terrible psychological trauma and a HUGE feeling of guilt for how much she did on their orders, being sure that they were right.

The end of her story isn't quite written yet...

But spoiler: thanks to her own efforts and the various interactions of the creatures around, her ending will be relatively happy, even if it may not possible to be completely like that :,)

Grimmel x Hiccup because they're so good✨

Forgot to post this reference of my character for a sort of cyberpunk d&d campaign

Grimmel is what happens when a Goblin and an Imp love each other very much

[local-dragon-haunt]

hey! i’m an artist and i was wondering what about the httyd crossover art made it obviously AI. i’m trying to get better at recognizing AI versus real art and i totally would have just not clocked that.

Hey! This is TOTALLY okay to not have recognized it, because I DIDN'T AT FIRST, EITHER. Unfortunately there’s no real foolproof way to distinguish real art from the fake stuff. However I have noticed a general rule of thumb while browsing these last few months.

So this is the AI generated image I used as inspiration. I will not be tagging the account that posted it because I do not condone bullying of any type, but it’s important to mention that this was part of a set of images:

This is important because one of the BIGGEST things you can use to your advantage is context clues. This is the thing that clued me in: right off the bat we can see that there is NO consistency between these three images. The art style and outfits change with every generated image. They're vaguely related (I.E. characters that resemble the Big Four are on some sort of adventure?) and that's about it. Going to the account in question proved that all they posted were AI generated images. All of which have many red flags, but for clarity's sake we'll stick with the one that I used.

The first thing that caught my eye was this???? Amorphous Blob in the background. Which is obviously supposed to be knights or a dragon or something.

Again, context clues come into play here. Artists will draw everything With A Purpose. And if what they're drawing is fanart, you are going to recognize most of what you see in the image. Even if there are mistakes.

In the context of this image, it looks like the Four are supposed to be running from these people. The thing that drew my attention to it was the fact that I Didn't Recognize The Villains, and this is because there is nothing to recognize. These shapes aren't Drago, or Grimmel, or Pitch, or any other villain we usually associate with ROTBTD. They're just Amorphous Blobs that are vaguely villain shaped.

Which brings me to my second point:

Do you see the way they're standing? There is no purpose to this. It throws the entire image off. Your eye is drawn to the Amorphous Villain Blobs in the background, and these characters are not reacting to them one bit.

Now I'm not saying that all images have to have a story behind them, but if this were created by a person, it clearly would have had one. Our group here is not telling a story, they are posing.

This is because the AI does not see the image as a whole, but as two separate components: the setting, and the description of the characters that the prompter dictates. I.E. "Merida from Brave, Jack Frost from ROTG, Rapunzel from Tangled, and Hiccup from HTTYD standing next to each other"

Now obviously the most pressing part of this prompt are the characters themselves. So the AI prioritizes that and tries to spit out something that WE recognize as "Merida from Brave, Jack Frost from ROTG, Rapunzel from Tangled, and Hiccup from HTTYD standing next to each other".

This, more times than not, is going to end up with this stagnant posing. Because AI cannot create, it can only emulate. And even then, it still can't do it right. Case in point:

This is not Hiccup. The AI totally thinks this is Eugene Fitzherbert. Look at the pose. The facial structure. The goatee. The smirk. The outfits. He's always next to Raps. Why does he have a quiver? Where's Toothless? His braids? His scar??

HE HAS BOTH OF HIS LEGS.

The AI. Cannot even get the most important part of it's prompt correct.

And that's just the beginning. Here:

More amorphous shapes.

So these are obviously supposed to be utility belts, but I mean. Look at them. The perspective is all off. There are useless straps. I don't even know what that cluster behind Jack's left arm is supposed to be.

This is a prime example of AI emulating without understanding structure.

You can see this particularly in Jack, between his hands, the "tassels" of his tunic, and the odd wrinkles of his boots. There's just not any structure here whatsoever.

Lastly, AI CANNOT CREATE PATTERNS.

Here are the side-by-sides of the shit I had to deal with when redesigning their outfits. Please someone acknowledge this. This killed me inside. THIS is most recognizable to me, and usually what I look for first if I'm wary about an art piece. These clusterfuck bunches of color. I hate them. I hate them so. much.

Anyways here's some other miscellaneous things I've noticed:

Danny Phantom Eyes

???? Thumb? (and random sword sheath)

Collarbone Necklace (corset from hell)

No Staff :( No Bow :(

What is that.

So yeah. Truly the best thing to do is to just. study it. A lot of times you aren't gonna notice anything just looking at the big picture, you need to zoom in and focus on the little details. Obviously I'm not like an expert in AI or anything, but I do have a degree in animation practices and I'm. You know. A human being. So.

In conclusion:

(Y'all should totally reblog my redesign of this btw)

[mahoganyrust]

Just a lil something to nourish the soul.

Fimt readers make of it what u will 😌

[worldwhightnight]

First part is ready! Not gonna lie it's difficult for me to paint on paper after digital art and I think I need more time to learn ^^

Also will draw second part with Hiccup!

[ackee]

can you recommend some fun youtubers to watch. bonus points if they are black.

ALL BLACK YOUTUBERS YOU SAY

the youtubers i watch the absolute most are kevonstage + angel on here's the thing. its technically a podcast, they talk about current events every wednesday and they're both comedians with untreated adhd. this show is where the original 'one margarita' lyrics came from, then it was remixed and blew up on tiktok ☝🏽

doreimani, a magical girl youtuber! she usually reviews magi girl content and other magi girl adjacent stuff! she recently made over her room and im inspired 🫶🏽

grimmelle, they make extremely sporadic and random video essays on things they like. the first video i watched of theirs was about flapjack LOL but they seem to like horror a lot!

MY FRIEND BUNZONE!! he's just starting but his vid quality.. fun and good... (follow for his ocs also...)

I'M LIKE... ALMOST CERTAIN CJ THE X IS MIXED BLACK... BUT IF HE'S NOT IMAGINE I AINT PUT HIM HERE. anyway their vids are so.. chaotic and insightful. Quotable. Iconic. watching this vid specifically years ago got me so inspired i thumbnailed 15 comic pages. perfectionism literally defeated. im overdue for a rewatch.

ANOTHER FRIEND, NICO'S BIG HEAD <3 she does a lot of vlogs and in the vlogs she paints traditionally, sews, makes clay figures, etc. i love watching them, they,re inspiring And relaxing <3
