There are worms in my head
#gideon coal#kremy lecroux#once upon a witchlight#coalecroux#ouaw#my art#pls I need to do schoolwork I begging and pleading I need to think about things other than ouaw#I have papers to write!!!#one thing about me is I cannot enjoy something a normal amount#anyways#they do a dancey dance because it’s sosososososo important to me#also kremys shadow is here idk how obvious it is#it’s all wrapped around Gideon#I think the idea of it having a bit of its own will is fun#I like making art as invisible pngs because I do not want to do backgrounds AND you can put them wherever you want#superimpose them onto any image#it’s funny to me

So y'all know the Gravity Falls production bible that leaked three weeks ago. Someone in one of my discord servers pointed this out:
And, naturally, that spawned an entire AU.
AU Concept: Ford was kicked out instead of Stan and takes a job as a trucker to makes ends meet since he couldn't go to college, while still studying the weird and anomalous however he can.
Ford driving around from quirky small town to quirky small town, drifting through the liminal spaces of truck stops, meeting odd people in isolated diners, seeing strange things out on the road—a deer with too many eyes bounding across a two-lane highway, a flirty woman at a rest stop who doesn't blink or breathe, mysterious lights in the sky at night, inhuman growls on the CB or 50-year-old broadcasts on the radio—and taking notes when he stops for gas or food.
Aside from having gotten kicked out before graduating high school, Ford's the same person he is in canon.
He's still an ambitious guy, and here "ambitious" means working hard and saving as much money as he can—so, a long haul owner-operator who spends weeks at a time on the road. (He goes through a LOT of educational audiobooks.) Plus, this is the easiest way for him to get to travel the country; and since it looks like his "travel the world" dreams with Stan are dead, he'll take what he can get.
Since he's never in the same spot long and carries his life in a truck, almost all of Ford's research is in his journal. His bag of investigation supplies has an instant camera, a portable tape recorder, a thermometer, a flashlight, rubber gloves, and a few zip lock bags—and that's about it. It has to share space with all his clothes, toiletries, and nonperishable food when he's on the road. He doesn't have much opportunity to closely examine anything odd he finds, unless he's lucky enough to run into something when he can stop for the night. He has to cram his paranormal research around the side of his full-time job.
He doesn't live in Gravity Falls, but he knows it exists. Every time he moves—to Chicago, to Nebraska, to California—he seems to inch closer. He currently lives in Portland and usually hauls loads between the Pacific Northwest and Chicago or New York. He stops at the truck stop outside Gravity Falls when he can and has gone fishing in town a few times. He doesn't have the benefit of extensive research to know that this is the weirdest town in the world; but it seems pretty weird to him, there are local rumors about the town, and he's had some weird experiences in the area.
Plus, he can't explain it, but it's like the town's calling to him. He wants to move there, but it'd put him over an hour outside of Portland where the nearest jobs are. Maybe if somebody chucked him like $100k to build a cabin in the woods; but what are the odds of that?
He does know Fiddleford. Truck broke down somewhere and Fiddleford kindly pulled over to fix it on the fly. They looked at each other, had mutual knee-jerk "dumb trucker/hillbilly" reactions, and within ten minutes both went "oh wait you're the most brilliant genius i've ever met." Fiddleford's living the same life he was in canon before Ford called him to Gravity Falls—with his family in California, trying to start a computer company out of his garage—but they make friends and keep in contact.
One time Ford stops at a kitschy roadside knickknack store that also sells new agey magic things—crystals, tarot cards, incense, etc. He bought a "lucky" rearview mirror ornament that looks like an Eye of Providence in a top hat and hung it from his cab fan, and ever since then he's had weird dreams whenever he sleeps in his truck.
Things I don't know yet: what Stan's up to; or why Ford's the one who got kicked out. I tend to believe that in canon Stan wasn't just kicked out because he ruined Ford's college prospects, but rather because the family thought he deliberately sabotaged Ford; so in this AU, Ford would've been kicked out over a proportionate crime.

Welcome to the Dungeons of Fear and Hunger.
#Fear and Hunger#D'arce Cataliss#Cahara#Ragnvaldr#Enki Ankarian#Unlike Dungeon Meshi - I cannot in good faith recommend this game to a broad audience.#My background with F&H goes as follows: I am hanging out with a friend. He says “hey try this game I've been playing.” I say “Okay!”#I have never heard of this game. I pick the mercenary. I go through 5 min of character history and background. I am mauled to death by dogs#It took me 4 resets to even get in the dungeon. But I finally get there. I am caught by a guard. He cuts off all but one of my limbs#I am forced to crawl around in a blood and corpse pit until the game tells me 'give up idiot'.#I reset. I am mauled by dogs again. I realize this is not for me but I am intrigued enough to go home and watch some playthroughs#And WOW what an interesting game it is! I really do appreciate games that blend their design philosophy with the theme it wants to set#This is a game about fear and hunger. And persevering. And penis (my god is there a lot of penis)#I recommend this to people who like extremely challenging games and can handle the many *content warnings* within this series#If the idea of Bloodborne/eldenring and undertale having a little RPG maker baby sounds appealing to you - give it a shot#It's made by ONE GUY and it's a great horror game. I am just really bad at it.#My friends just enjoy putting me in situations where I scream and yell. We don't talk about the corn mazes. Or the other horror game nights#Apparently I'm funny when I'm Scared!#As people who follow me on twitter might know; I am deep in the pits of this series right now. I will be back with more art.

day 1821 - half a decade!
redraw of day 1, 364, and 1000, but with a twist - now it's also my frogsona :D
for now i'll be taking a (maybe permanent) break for at least the rest of the year! see you in 2025!
previous versions for comparison below!
#amphibian#frog#frogsona#self#actaully i used a toad for reference i like their shape most#so i guess my frogsona is technically a toad (which is just a more specific frog but. you know)#also i cannot stress enough everyone has been so kind throughout the years it's been a pleasure to know my art has brightened your days :)#ok one funny thing is#i've been looking through the old art reminiscing. seeeing if i can pick a favorite per 100 days (the art is sorted in folders of 100 each)#and every single folder i look through i can't pick a favorite because i like so many of them#and every tsingle folder i think to myself 'oh that was a good 100 days there's lots of great ones'#even the earliest days where my anatomy was pretty terrible and my style was so different from what i like now. it's sitll great#it feels really great to be able to look back at my art and think that :)#and my favorites range from ones that are technically skilled to just cute or funny ideas#i think it's a good reminder to myself that art doesn't have to be perfect to be good :)#another important thing im realizing is a majority of my favorites are the ones that tell a story or joke in some way#a scene and/or background do SO MUCH for my own enjoyment of my art#even just some shapes and color in the background elevate it imo

he is just. so shaped. so so so So shaped.
#im Attempting some new tactics#it doesnt really show! but i am!#starting to fuck around w/ watercolor brushes...#holding him up like a little bee and saying I Just Think He's Neat!#< i jest! i think much much more about him#that i cannot share without devolving into an incoherent mess!#so. i just think he's neat :]c#scribble salad#welcome home#welcome home puppet show#frank frankly#im also trying... to do... (dramatic thunderclap) BACKGROUNDS#i know i know. very scary. they're still very messy#but... i like objects? i like Things? i like to look at a page and see put together clutter!#maximalism babey!#which is deadly when you're an artist methinks. but. whats one more agony added onto the rest!#it will be a while until i figure out how to Accomplish that put-together clutter....#im still bad at colors! im trying to swim before i can walk! Yikes!

(close ups under cut)
#i actually like gems little boat but i still cannot do backgrounds to save my life#i like to think her boat just goes along the river and accidentally picks up all the hermits chilling there while fishing#cause this season so many of them have been claimed by the water you cannot tell me they do not just sit at the bottom sometimes#hermitcraft#hermitcraft season 10#hermitcraft fanart#pearlescentmoon#pearlescentmoon fanart#geminitay#geminitay fanart#my art

Gang I’m seeing Twenty One Pilots today !! 🫶💥
#doctorsiren#not art#siren speaks#photo#tw eye contact#for that last one HAHA#also ignore how my smiles look in the first two photos idk why I look unenthusiastic HAHJISIHS#I think my camera was delaying or something#my makeup is a little asymmetrical bc I was using my phone camera as a mirror oopsie#currently in a house that is not my own so the background is silly too#I’m so glad I haven’t grown in years bc that twenty one pilots shirt is from 2016 and it still fits perfectly#you kind of can’t see them behind my hair in the first 2 pictures#but I’m wearing my mp100 perler bead earrings#I wore them for the AJR concert last month too 😁#I cannot take a photo without doing The Nixon (double ✌️) or doing at least just one ✌️

They're off to see the wizard! The wonderful wizard of Oz!!
I actually started this last month and then got burnt out and didn't finish it until now but whatever I FINISHED IT!! I finished watching Scooby Doo and Guess Who last month and there's a Wizard of Oz parody in the last episode and I just knew I had to do fanart, a legal requirement if you will.
I kept Shaggy, Fred and Velma's costumes from the episode the same but I thought Daphne and Scooby deserved costumes that were a bit more personal too. But who would the wizard in question be?? Well don't worry because I drew art for that too!!
I just can't stop thinking about a proper direct to DVD scooby WOZ parody film and how Van Ghoul should be the wizard, like in my head it's perfect.
#my art#scooby doo#scooby doo fanart#daphne blake#fred jones#shaggy rogers#velma dinkley#mystery incorporated#scooby doo and guess who#vincent van ghoul#mystery inc#the background took so long god it was so hard to figure out#im a not background girlie I mostly do character art so I figured the best way to learn was to draw something I like#idk i looked at other scooby background arts from trick or treat and the other modern movies but I still cannot BG paint I fear#turned out pretty alright though Im happy with it#mad props to background painters cause idk how they do it well I suppose they both know how to do it and enjoy doing it so thats how#but whatever the point is that it impresses me as I drew one and burnt out#but I LOVED drawing that sandwich like listen shaggy and scooby had a point to make when they make those things

I was inspired by @tapestryoftrauma ‘s wonderful writing, so here’s a drawing of Mark Chasity from his fic called Sink Into Me
#if yall haven’t- you should go check out her stuff#it’s all super good#oh and their edits on the TikToks#(I type it like that as if I’m not on it 6 hours a day /hj)#anyway yeah as I was reading I was possessed with an image that I had to get on paper#(also there is a rad drawing by Oswaldpettyeye at the bottom of the fic that you should definitely stare at and admire)#also also don’t worry- I’ve got more spy stuff I’m working on so stay tuned for that#I cannot express my excitement for SAD#but that’s another post#guys this was my first time doing perspective like this#and backgrounds are the bane of my existence#but other than that I kinda popped off#holy bastard#mark chasity#hatchetfield#curt mega#starkid#team starkid#abstinence camp#cw blood#cw axe#cw weapon#my art
