art development !!
i started doing digital art in 2013 but the template starts at 2015 hehe
[[ template ]]
my essaying about my digital art journey below!!
2015 - i was very immersed in the soul eater community! i kept doing resbangs and making friends, and i love doing AUs, specifically soul & maka centric. this is the HTTYD AU where soul is the dragon!
2016 - yes this is Little Things PH's OCs that i did back in the day! i love their lil guys so much i had to make fanart. this was the art i gave to Ate in person!!
2017 - i drew a lot more pokemon this time ! idk why i didn't draw more of it digitally before. i had too much soul eater brainrot lmao. so i combined them! behold contestshipping x soma AU
2018 - this was the time when i got into K-pop! specifically Monsta X haha, i got more interested in doing fashion, especially for male characters~ (and i had to draw my beloved agenda, somakid)
2019 - my bias from MX, Minhyuk on a whale with Minggom! this was made for an artbook that was sent to him! i hope he got to see this along with my tiny message ;; i delved more into a new tiny chibi art style here
2020 - i drew way too much during this year and it led me to impossibly high standards for my art to this day //sobs. i redrew my Your Lie in April AU fanart and i really think i improved so much….. i went out of my comfort zone to really draw the background and the piano
2021 - genshin brainrot started here !! i was trying to find my style even more, and i love kokomi's color palette. i remember looking at 10x references and combining them into this specific pose in the fanart. i still think to this day this is one of my personal favorite art pieces of all time
2022 - another personal favorite art piece (and something my friend aura and a commissioner personally loved!), i was practicing on drawing men since i wasn't confident, but seeing how this turned out made me want to keep going ❤️
2023 - the latest maka & kid piece that i made! they are so precious to me. i love trying out new poses and dynamics, and i tried changing their outfits a bit more to highlight that i wanna try new fashion stuff ^^; i'd like to say it was a job well done ngl
2024 - and finally, a recent piece that i'm most proud of, and shows a lot of my art style (and i drew the background from scratch!). i redrew an old comic panel from a now discontinued comic, but i feel like i improved so much in terms of rendering, coloring, and anatomy!!

Ai Mikaze Song Rant
!!🧹CLEANING OUT DRAFTS WRITTEN IN LIKE 2021. Posted as is last written🧹!!
that may or may not be an essay but since its structure is completely off, I opted to call it a rant.
Also Ai looks mighty fine in that outfit. Ver. A has him sticking his tongue out. So cute!!
Note: this is a long overdue post that was made prior to the release of the album, I have not changed anything within this because dammit my past self worked her ass off on this and just left it on the backburner for so long.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Before the next batch of Quartet Night Solo Songs get released this year (oh my god its been 3-4 years since the last ones) I wanted to write down the charm of Ai's songs and I hope the trend somewhat continues.
There are a total of 6 songs released since 2012 and each song also has it's own take on love.
There are a total of 6 songs released since 2012 and each song also has it's own take on love.
Winter Blossom: Parting of a loved one
A.I: Being and feeling loved
Futari no Monogram: Understanding oneself
Innocent Wind: The Warmth of Love
Mune no Kodou: Understanding Love
Synchronism: Playful, and a smidge bit sensual. Looks like the love arc is complete if you catch my drift
And now let's look at the song list:
うたの☆プリンスさまっ♪ アイドルソング嶺二&藍
Uta no☆Purinsu-sama♪ Aidoru Songu Reiji & Ai
Track 02: Winter Blossom
August 22, 2012
Idol Song: Mikaze Ai
01: A. I
02: Futari no Monogram
June 25, 2014
マジLOVEレボリューションズアイドルソング 美風 藍
Maji LOVE Reboryuushonzu Aidoru Songu Mikaze Ai
01: Innocent Wind
02: Mune no Kodou
April 29, 2015
うたの☆プリンスさまっ♪ アイドルソング蘭丸&藍
Uta no☆Purinsu-sama♪ Aidoru Songu Ranmaru & Ai
03: Synchronism
May 24, 2017
Now why does the second part matter? Well to me, if you put them together. Arrange by release date and track number, it almost sounds like a story on its own.
A person who has lost a loved one and forgot what the feeling felt like (Winter Blossom) until they discovered someone who could possibly mend their broken heart and understand the concept of "Ai" (A. I).
After finding this someone, they want to better themselves, become more reliable, someone who could be deserving of that love (Futari no Monogram). That love is returned to them and it feels a bit too much, but they're grateful that this person continues to stay by their side, despite being "broken" (Innocent Wind).
Like any relationship though, it was not just meant to be a sunshine filled story, they got into fights and arguements but that never deterred them from loving each other. Even during the moments they felt down or when he was scared of the passage of time, still uncertain about love, they still stuck with each other through thick and thin. And to understand these overflowing emotions, he wrote it into a song, a ballad, that sung the wishes of normal lovers and how with them, he can understand love. That he too, has that "something" on his chest (Mune no Kodou).
This emotional beat is followed by a happy and relaxing, definitely no underlying desires song about love (Synchronism).
being vague about the last one since I'll explain in each solo segment.
I think you guys get what I mean about the songs tying together to form a story by now right? Which is amazing to me, even if they most likely didn't do it on purpose, it gives a new meaning to listening to Ai's songs. Which make it even more fun to listen to.
So now onto each song and it's significance.
Winter Blossom
The first song by Ai is still as sad and beautiful as the first time I read the english translation~ I cried. This is a very straightforward song. They shared their last moments in winter.
To hide our kiss, we draw closer together to share warmth
and he wishes to God that he could feel the same emotions as her. She's about to go and he knows this, and he doesn't want to forget so he tries to stop his tears. He wants to remember this. Timeskip and he's all alone now with these memories. He doesn't think it's bad, no matter how sad it was, and yet he could only think about what else he could've done. He feels like he understands now, and he tells the words "I love you" even if she wasn't there, and his voice is only heard by the wind. He remembers the moment one last time, and makes a promise.
It's a tragedy that he only figured out what love is after she died. The song really moves me to tears. The hopeful message at the end is really nice and gives the listener a sense of encouragement.
A. I
Just lovers out on a vacation by the seaside. It starts off with him asking
“At what percentage does it become ‘love’?”
The night grows nearer, as you two get closer, and yet all he can feel is uncertainty. Unsure whether his feelings would reach or if he could ever truly express what he feels. Insecure about his own name, one he even called poor, you show him that there is a meaning to "AI". This fills him with happiness and he sees you as someone he can turn to, his warmth. He gives you a kiss. For now, in this moment, you will enjoy the time spent together, even if in the future you may fight. For now, even if he can't express to you all his feelings, the one word you taught him is enough. I love you.
I've always loved the play on words for A.I (artificial intelligence), Ai (love), and Ai (name) used for the song. See I don't understand Japanese writing much but I really wish I did. From what little I know it's amazing to see that Ai uses katakana アイ throughout the song. Katakana is used for loan words or when you want to emphasize something. So him using アイ instead of 愛 emphasizes that he REALLY doesn't understand "Ai". If you look through the wiki, there are like, 5 instances of the katakana being used. First is in the line highlighted above. Another is in "I want to confirm it, this thing you call ‘love’/tashikametai yo kimi no iu 'ai'" and the most important one. The last line of the song.
I ‘love’ you… I love you
AI shiteru... aishiteru
アイしてる…[[愛]]してる
He actually learns what it means you guys. I'm proud of him. Another line that really got me in this song is when he keeps peppering you kisses because he was anxious. Baby, no, I won't leave you. I swear! Even if it takes time for you to understand, I won't let go!
Futari no Monogram
Innocent Wind
Mune no Kodou
Synchronism
Actually, while I was writing this down, I realized that most of his songs have an emphasis on warmth and the sun.
Winter Blossom
To hide our kiss, we draw closer together to share warmth
These memories aren’t bad, they transform into warmth
A. I
Your hand held in mine is so warm
Your warmth, this tender sunny spot is my gentle place to return to
Innocent Wind
By the tenderness of your warmth
This warmth is beyond even words…
Also the word embrace
(Winter Blossom, Futari no Monogram, Innocent Wind)
and hand holding
he's cold you guys
.
Rant over!
Waaaaa I'm not sure I even did him justice since half the time I couldn't word out what I want to say but hopefully it made some sort of sense???? I just really love him and his songs that I just kinda word vomitted everything.
Also was it super obvious that I adore Mune no Kodou to bits?! I could talk about how that's my favorite song all day because FUCK it's just THAT good.

DCRC Week #19 (Part 1)
Tumblr media
Hey do you guys remember that soap opera that Donald likes to watch, Anxieties? Well buckle up cause today we're reading PKNA #15: Camera, Action! which is all about the cast of Anxieties getting attacked by (you guessed it) EVIL EVRONIAN INVADERS!!! I don't remember much of this story past the fact that it's a pretty silly and lighthearted issue so letsgo
Tumblr media
Bro locked in and hit the Dreamworks face
Tumblr media Tumblr media
guys he's just silly... hi Donald 👋
Tumblr media
I can't tell if this chapter is supposed to take place in the real life Isla de Providencia in Colombia or if this is supposed to be a fictional place cause I've never heard it referred to as "the republic" before lol
Tumblr media
Footage of the writers of the Ducktales reboot (circa. 2017)
Tumblr media
What a freak I love her <3
Tumblr media
I'm really glad to know Donald and Uno just sit around and watch soap operas together, especially since Everett Ducklair originally just left Uno by himself and didn't want him letting anyone on the secret floor. FUCK YOU EVERETT we're watching Anxieties without you 🖕
Tumblr media
guy that looks suspiciously like chris chan
Tumblr media
WHAT NOOOOOOO I would never send my partner all the way to Colombia to infiltrate a film set just to get soap opera spoilers what
Tumblr media
NOOOOOOOOO HE FUCKINF ESPLODED NOOOOOOOOOOOOooo oh nevermind he's fine
Tumblr media
GUYS LOOK! IT'S ZOSTER AND ZONDAG! THE EVRONIANS THAT I CAN ONLY NAME BECAUSE THEY WERE THE TWO BOSSES FROM THE PK VIDEO GAME!!!
btw do people ship them together. cause if not can we start doing that? not because they'd make a good couple or whatever but because the concept of evronian yaoi is funny to me
Tumblr media
see look they share trauma (and I don't mean the big evronian guy)
Tumblr media Tumblr media
"anthropological studies" ok bro I know a silly billy when I see one!!!
Tumblr media
Glad to see a group of people finally treat the Evronians with the fear and respect they ACTUALLY deserve
Tumblr media
I'm gonna see big buff-armed Uno in my nightmares now thanks
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Gotta say, I'm impressed with the number of explosions there have been in this issue given the fact that Xadhoom isn't here
Alright folks you know what the fuck it is, it's fucking TRIP TIME!!!! YIPPEEE YAHOO WOOHOO
Tumblr media
First and foremost shoutout to the way the Raider is drawn here I think they should draw him like this all the time actually. Second of all TFYM "HONEST WORK" YOU'RE LITERALLY A TIME PIRATE 😭
Tumblr media
Using time travel as a shortcut to riches eh??? I'm having flashbacks to a certain storm-themed cartoon episode... can't quite put my finger on it........
Tumblr media
Shoutout to Trip meeting another version of himself and IMMEDIATELY starting beef, FIGHT FIGHT FIGHT!!!
Tumblr media
ALL THE FUCKING FACES HERE I'm so mad the art in these comics is so expressive and silly
Tumblr media
NOOOOO TRIP DON'T SAY SLURS YOU CAN'T RECLAIM
Ok but seriously, this specific line has been haunting me for months because I was like "there's no way that's the original line right? Is there actually an Italian equivalent to the R slur or was the translator just having a bad day???" WELL TODAY I HAVE SOLVED THE CONUNDRUM ONCE AND FOR ALL. And the truth is:
Tumblr media
Trip was fucking FRAMED!!! The original insult used was "babbeo" which, based on everything I can source online, roughly translates to "fool" or "idiot" or any other derogatory name that's basically just calling someone stupid. So like THEORETICALLY it could be translated to the R slur but it's a bit of an extreme take 😭
Anyways I'm not saying that Trip WOULDN'T say slurs, just that I needed closure and I finally have it.
Tumblr media
Raider just coming home with groceries what the fuck is this outfit
Tumblr media
I'm assuming this was all resolved in the same way as Steven and the Stevens where they had to make all the other Trips blink out of existence. And then they wrote a silly little song about it!
OKAY this is only my first post for this week I will be back later with Trick or Treat 🎃 in the meantime STAY SPOOKY FOLKS

so can you draw della & daisy together as sister-in-laws? prettymuch della can be in her classic outfit from the comics also just make sure she wears her pants from her ducktales 2017 counterpart
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
I don't usually do requests, since I'm very busy, but okay, maybe I will for a while, since you asked.
Anyway, here's the Della Duck and Daisy Duck drawing you've been looking for. Admittedly, I wanted to do something special about the two of them, but for now I did them together. Della Duck wearing a comic outfit and Daisy Duck wearing a regular dress. I combined Ducktales 2017 and my style. I hope you like this drawing.

Tac's OC Ref Masterposts 1: Sonas
See my other ref posts here: Primaries, Secondaries, Tertiaries
I wanted to have a series of posts where people can find all of my characters in one place! Since I have too many to fit them all into one post, I decided to split them up based on how much I use them/how developed they are, the same way they're split up on my Toyhouse.
I wanted to have their refs here so people can find them relatively easily and not have to go digging through their Toyhouse galleries to find them lol. If anyone ever wants to draw them, you are very much encouraged to do so!! Same goes for asks about my characters! Those are always welcome as well!!
These will have some general information about each of my characters, but if you want to see more about them in depth, each character's Toyhouse page will also be linked! If/when I update any particular characters' ref in the future, that will be updated here as well ^^
Will also include each character's theme song because I like showing those off too :3
See my sonas here below the cut!
SONAS
These are the characters that most completely represent me! They're the ones I use most frequently and the ones I am often the most eager and excited to get art of haha. They're also ordered here based on how much I use them and/or how representative they are of me.
Tumblr media
Shep [Toyhouse Link]
My main sona and most complete representation of myself out of all my characters!
22 y/o asexual biromantic German Shepherd
Boyfriends with PBnJ

Tumblr media
PBnJ [Toyhouse Link]
Secondary sona
Usually goes by just PB

Theme Song: Life is Good by Ritalin
Tumblr media
Starburst [Toyhouse Link]
Main comfort sona, also my favorite OC <33
Kinsona based on Jenny from Wayside, who's my biggest comfort character!
Do not draw her without her outfit!! Also please only draw her anthro!
One of my taller anthro characters, slighter taller than Shep (who's 5'10), not as tall as Wilkołak or Tarmac
Very friendly, adventurous and always looking to live life to the fullest!
Tend to be slightly more picky about how people people draw her (in terms of situations/context), if you're unsure about ideas, please run them by me!
Theme Song: Have You Seen Her Happy? by Beat Crusaders
Tumblr media
Spatter [Toyhouse Link]
Pokesona
Move set: Dragon Pulse, Earthquake, Rain Dance and Protect. Feel free to draw him using any of these!

after drawing the sparkly bider-man i wanted to make one for my AU... purely self-indulgent...
I doubt Peter would really take the time and expense to make a special pride suit he would only wear once or twice unless Johnny convinced him or smth so it's mostly hypothetical but still fun —
I was looking through my timeline trying to figure out when would make the most sense for this (which also included: has Johnny outed himself yet) and I ended up deciding 2014 makes the most sense because well, in 2012 Peter will be locked in a basement during June, and in 2013 he would be busy with Electro and finishing grad school, but 2014 is like... right after he and Flash get married so I can easily imagine Johnny being like "c'moooon Spidey, let's dress up together, you just got gay*-married" etc. and, well, peter does like to dress up... (otherwise he wouldn't be in spandex all the time 😂)
normally I avoid metallic or shiny spandex like the plague for suit designs cause I think it looks cheap but I made an exception for this 😂 it probably IS cheap...
closeups:
Tumblr media
posing for pictures... johnny's idea, naturally. in my timeline i think johnny outs himself in like 2011 or so after a very messy divorce (from lyja) but I'm not spending too much time on the F4 stuff in this aside from just having a general idea so if they appear in a fic I know what's going on 😅 anyway by 2014 johnny is def way more comfortable with being publicly gay, since the cat's long out of the bag, though he's still got a lot of issues... but he's good at pretending to be okay :)
Tumblr media
but also he still has a crush on peter 😂 tfw you have the hots for your superhero friend who just got married
peter actually already knows how johnny feels about him by the time he gets married, i just thought the dialogue was funny
Tumblr media
I thought it would be fun if the lens frames were sparkly... normally I have his frames out of vulcanized black rubber (like car tire rubber) (...like might actually be carved from old tires) just cause I prefer the matte and slightly soft look compared to plastic... I figure something like sparkly firm silicone or sparkly plastic is probably pretty achievable for Peter to make. And the lenses would just be his normal bulletproof lenses but with an iridescent film on the outside to make them a little rainbowy...
and I think in 2014 irl holographic glitter spandex was like... something that existed that you could buy lol so i figure he can very carefully sew a holographic spider on.... so the spiders are like, that silvery white rainbow glitter kind of look
no webbing because there's a limit to how much labor and time peter would be willing to put into a flashy, kind of useless costume that he wouldn't be able to/want to wear very often... (and i wasn't a fan of how it looked)
Tumblr media
bisexual fingers. there's a dirty joke in there somewhere.
Tumblr media
it's difficult to come up with body-covering outfits that are suitable for summer weather as-is but the fact that he's wearing polyester spandex underneath really adds a layer of "i'm going to get heatstroke and die" to this outfit. lots of linen though. at least the armpits are athletic mesh.
also yeah the spidey shirt is a leotard with a snap crotch so. he's really just hoping that doesn't unroll under his clothes cause it would absolutely hang down very visibly from under his shirt if it were to fall. (maybe he can use his electrostatic sticking powers to just. hold it in place...)
he also can't roll down the waistband of his tights because it's more rigid than the rest of his costume on account of that's where he keeps all his spare web cartridges and it would suck if they all fell out LOL
hm i just noticed i accidentally gave peter a purple happy trail oops just pretend that's black
anyway
that's AU bider-man
oh
Tumblr media
i also drew this which is much more corny/embarrassing but i thought it was a cute idea — by necessity has to be after flash is public and transitioning etc… so 2016 at the earliest but i drew this more like 2017 or 2018, after she's been on hrt and stuff and is probably more confident
i don't think there's a worry of accidentally spotlighting her/outing her because, well, she probably doesn't pass in a lot of people's eyes… broad shoulders, sideburns, etc. but… peter thinks she's pretty ❤️
i was gonna draw more of the gang but then the list kept expanding like, oh should i include X, what about Y? and it was. too many people. so then i just decided to only draw flash and peter 😂
they should have stickers on their shirts though... like a polyamory sticker... or pins...
*as of most recent plot updates in 2024, Flash starts living publicly as a woman around the time she and Peter get married, but it's probably still legally a gay marriage (at first) even if Flash is like, "Actually, I'm a girl. Surprise!" lmao

Mae Chouko of Rainbow went through many early designs quite quickly in mid-2013, with her hairstyle and outfit initially changing at least a little bit almost every time I drew her. In her very first design, her hair was shorter, with fewer lighter pieces. By page 12 of the first draft of her story, the drawing in the margin brought her hair to its current length, and mostly its current style. Still, it would change throughout margin drawings to become straighter or parted to one side sometimes, depending on what I wanted it to look like to match whichever outfit I was drawing her in.
Her outfits and hair changed greatly throughout 2014-16, too, for the most part becoming longer, but that is a drawing for another time.
Her wings changed, also. Initially they were much more pointed, with the core of them being black, and only the edges being rainbow. Since 2014, her wings have been entirely rainbow.
As the 24th of August marks 10 years since her first design was created, I thought I'd draw some of her earliest designs, alongside her current design (finalized as of 2017 for the publication of Rainbow) in the upper right corner.
And now, time for bed. It's five in the morning. I stayed up all night doing this.

I've always wanted to do a piece where I gave one of my OCs Smash Bros.-like palette swaps and alternate costume, and, well, here's one finally for Bangs!
A lot of these are references to older pieces no one except my friends have seen before, so you'll hafta check beneath the cut for explanations. If you want 'em, anyway. I'll also provide original art to show where the outfit first appeared, so enjoy how terrible a lot of it looked, like, five or six years ago
Default
Tumblr media Tumblr media
First appearance: March 2018
An obvious one, of course. This is her "iconic outfit;" the one I've drawn her in the most. I can't exactly recall anymore why I went with the Nirvana smiley logo in this one piece, or why it stuck, but whatever. At this point, I can't imagine Bangs without it.
Also, as you can see in the first outfit's appearance, I used to draw Bangs with a brown belt instead of a black one. This is something I did all the way until 2020 when I changed how I posed and art'd my characters.

First appearance: November 2017
First of all—gawd, my first few attempts at drawing non-stickfigures were so bad.
Secondly, this is the first outfit I ever drew Bangs wearing. Like the Nirvana smiley, I don't know why I went with the Beatallica. Maybe I was just listening to them at the time I was arting this, I don't know.
Aside from the brown belt, by the way, Bangs's shorts are obviously also a different color. This is, first of all, to help differentiate this palette more from the original, but also to reflect the frayed-end shorts she used to have.
B*
Tumblr media Tumblr media
First appearance: June 2018
This is an outfit a friend of mine randomly came up for Bangs when she drew Bangs this one time, and then I adopted as canon. It hasn't seen as much use lately, but I still like keeping it around.
I'd also never drawn Bangs wearing those shorts with that shirt, I thought they looked together, so...
Vicky
Tumblr media Tumblr media
First appearance: February 2020
This palette is based on an outfit I randomly came up with for Bangs for a Valentine's Day piece one year. That wasn't the first time I'd drawn Bangs wearing a green shirt, but it was the only time I'd drawn her wearing black pants. I didn't realize until afterwards how much it reminded me of Vicky from Fairly OddParents, and I guess that's why it stuck with me enough to wanna reference it here.
The text on Bangs's shirt ("HELP I'M A ROCK") is taken directly from the title of a song from The Mothers Of Invention's debut album Freak Out!.
Summer
Tumblr media Tumblr media
First appearance: July 2020
This is Bangs's summer outfit, of course. This is around when I realized how good Bangs looked in warm summer colors, but for some reason I haven't taken advantage of it too much.
Birthday 2020
Tumblr media Tumblr media
First appearance: August 2020
As the palette's name give away, this is based on the outfit Bangs wore for her 2020 OC birthday piece, which was taken from one P. J. Soles wore in the 1979 film Rock 'N' Roll High School (to go along with how the overall piece was based on the cover for the Ramones album Road To Ruin).
Birthday 2022
Tumblr media Tumblr media
First appearance: August 2022
The most recent reference in the set. This palette is based on the outfit Bangs wore in her 2022 OC birthday piece (of course), which was taken from what Wendy from Gravity Falls wore in the episode "Love God". I just thought Wendy was cool and that this outfit was neat, so...
Shy Gal
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
First appearance: September 2017
The first time I ever drew Bangs digitally, she was wearing a Shy Guy mask, so here's an alt. costume based on the whole Shy Gals thing.
I've provided two images here as context: the original piece where she wears the masks, and then an OC birthday art from a year later referencing it where you can see Bangs wearing the hoodie without the mask so you can see her face.
Fun fact: the date I drew the original piece is Bangs's OC birthday, since I can't remember when exactly I originally came up with her beyond "winter 2011."

question that came to me out of the blue but were there previous versions/scrapped ideas for bonomo and nova [or oc in general]?
oH BOY so I've had bonomo for over 7 years now so uhhh I do indeed got plenty of old material of those two and how they kinda evolved and changed over all that time
so lucky for you guys, for once I'm gonna *pukes in mouth a lil* ugh, share my old art from when I was 15, oof uhhh you're welcome in advance (yes I realize some of my old followers here could have been following since I was 15 but still) also since I've had these characters for so long and tie into my own life at times I may accidentally go off on some tangents but whatever
Tumblr media
strap in folks, this is gonna be a long post
Tumblr media
bonomo
2015: aight so I first made this lil dude in september 2015 in a sketchbook after school. didn't think much of him at the time, just a cool character design that kinda stuck around. an ex friend of mine gave him the name bonomo (I suck at naming things) but yes humble beginnings here, literally just a little guy
early 2016: ok so at this point I got attached to the design and wanted to flesh him out more. at first he was just a lil creature with a monitor head, but I wanted to run with that retro computer kind of theme and fully embraced it by making him into a robot
mid/late 2016: alright so here is when the design really started to take shape and tighten up as you can see, from this point not much changes with bonomo as far as the design goes except for just minor art style changes from here. this is where I start building more personality, being rather positive, naive, goofy
2017: here is where I really start knowing the character well and finally get all the kinks out of the design. ended up making him very expressive, taller, softer, rounder, everything past this point is peak bonomo
2018/2019/2020/2021/2022: not much to report at this point his design is pretty much solid from here
nova
Tumblr media
early 2016: so here I first wanted to make a simple persona/self insert kinda thing and made this rough unnamed loose design of a lil alien creature, as you can see I cannot decide on a color palette to save my life
mid/late 2016: got a name for them and started calling them nova, and I finally picked a goddamn color palette and basic outfit design about damn time. at this point they went from being just a nameless self insert persona concept to be their own character instead
2017: same with bonomo, this is where I feel like I got a good solid design for them, and all of their major design has stayed the same from here on out. I also brought back/revived some elements from their very first designs in 2016 as a design for their younger self for backstory purposes, but this is still a bit rough and I put it on the back burner to shape up their current design and story before tackling their backstory
2018: not much change here except I feel my art has gotten much better at this point lol
2019/2020: at this point I have bonomo and nova's personality, design, dynamic, and story rough ideas down pretty solid so I work more on nova's past and backstory more and have nailed down the design for their younger past self
2021/2022: both versions of nova have remained pretty much unchanged from here
Tumblr media
early 2016: both bonomo and (at the time unnamed) nova were more of just designs than the characters we know em as today. I started drawing them together around march 2016 just because I thought "oh haha a robot and alien, sci-fi cross over time" without thinking much of it
mid/late 2016: here I find myself drawing the two together more and it's at this point I realize to myself 'oh shit I can do something with this' and started to really flesh out who they are and where they came from and wanted to turn them into full characters instead of just little doodles. here I started experimenting with lore and story ideas, many of which have changed a lot or have been scrapped completely by now. at first I imagined both of them being from space, but ended up scrapping that and having bonomo be native to earth. I also didn't have a full motive for nova to come to earth yet either, but I knew they'd both be on earth at this point just causing trouble. I also was debating making their story much more depressing and even toxic at points for the two of them, even debating having bonomo leaving nova for good at some point, but that just made me sad over time so that quickly was changed
2017: here is both when their main design elements and personality start to take proper shape. I base their personalities off of exaggerated aspects of my own, bonomo being my goofy silly naive geeky half and nova being my feral stubborn paranoid half. I have also started forming the very rough idea of nova's backstory to how they arrived on earth, why they're on earth, how bonomo and nova meet, and their basic every day lives
2018: ok so now that I have their designs, personalities, and daily lives and motivations down, I start working on their actual story and have gotten it pretty solid now (but these are all spoilers so hmm ask for more info later if y'all really want uhhhhhhh)
2019/2020: at this point my art has gone from much more simple and flat color generally to much more rendered and symbolic and distorted and psychedelic, cuz this was after I dropped out of college and was battling some nasty drug addictions at the time which quite literally changed how I see the world to a much more confusing and broken and distorted place, and my art changed to reflect that. it was at this point that I started working more on nova's backstory seriously since it ties into where their story finishes
2021/2022: my art at this point was a lot of self reflection cuz I had a lot of emotions and a lot of personal growth and a lot of change in my life at this point and phew these two were really going through it in my artwork while I figured my shit out. but here we are now!
so yeah uh that's bonomo the prototype robot and nova the ex-space criminal they live in the middle of nowhere new mexico and get up to silly shenanigans and tomfoolery :]

I really wish to know more about your characters, I took the time to read your post about their specie and ngl I've wanted to draw one of your dragons for a really long time now (but alas real life happens. Not saying I don't want to draw them). So if you don't have some more drawings or photos to share, could you share some more information about them 👀 any will do
??? Anon?? You want to draw my dragons?? IM FLATTERED
Official ref sheet for Adra, Mira, and Jesse.
I actually do have some more images to share although they may be a bit outdated. Frankly real life also happens to me (thesis) and I'm not able to draw frequently. I won't lie, the design for my Saturnian dragons are based on Spyro. The first video game I've played pretty much, back on my old PS1.
Anyway here are some old images
Tumblr media
Adra and Jesse, last updated 2020.
Tumblr media
Ditto, in Skyrim's ebony armor. This is an eternal WIP in my drive, too lazy to finish it with armor reflections and shading and stuff. Last updated 2020.
Tumblr media
Adra in spec ops outfit, last updated 2017.
Tumblr media
Feral/European dragon form (not quite WOF, I haven't discovered WOF by this time) of Jesse, last updated 2018.
There are also some uhh... ehem... adult-oriented drawings. I can send them through private message if you want to.
--------
Earlier today I also shared the Saturnian lore with my best friend, and he asked me some worldbuilding questions about them. I'll paste some of them here, prepare for massive infodump.
Is this like written by the Saturnians pov or Humans? Since its like an exstensive look on Saturnians
Human observation, yes. Saturnians are very secretive on what data they want to share. Except basic census data, that is still fine for them.
Does the inter space travel from earth and satun back and forth exists?
It does exist. Their space travel enables Earth-Saturn travel in 3-4 months depending on orbit position of the two planets.
For comparison, Pioneer 11, the first Saturn space probe, reached the ringed planet after about 6 years (1973-1979)
also interplanetary space travel is now common? Like earth residents can afford tour to Saturn or is it still closed off to general public?
They use Saturnian ships to transfer people back and forth. Frankly no one really wants to wait 6 years to reach the ringed planet when it can be done within 4 months.
The agreement that the two races had to make to get permission to board Saturnian ships was lengthy. Even then human passengers are closely supervised to make sure they don't "steal" technology.
its interesting that if Saturn itself is 'alive', does the Saturnian revere every land that they built upon and try not to damage or relentlessly build on them and have lenghty process to learn if the soil should be preserved and everything like that?
They try to build… what's the word… respectfully? Responsibly? One of the two. Minimizing altering the landscape and build on whatever is there for them to use.
They claim to be able to "speak" or "hear" from the planet itself, a concept that's truly out of human comprehension. Whether it's actual extrasensory perception, a form of indirect communication with other individuals, or simply just a belief is anyone's guess. They have words for things that humans can't define. And the fact that their life expectancy is 5 to 7 times longer than an average human is already well beyond human comprehension.
They've been around for more than 1.5 million years. Modern humans (that is, homo sapiens) have only been around for 200,000.
whats saturnians blood color? Do they have the same blood types like humans
It's black, nearly void black. Blood types, I haven't done that far on worldbuilding. I may just left it out for simplicity.
also what they were look like in their tribal stage before being one of the most advanced race in the universe? Also if we ever venture outside Saturnia, will we ever find other settlements or civillizations or maybe ruins of Saturnians past?
They've conserved their history completely in digital media through augmented reality in almost perfect detail. This allows anyone in Saturn to access it for research purposes with minimal need to travel. Any leftovers of past civilization have been repurposed for building and manufacturing.
Currently they're experimenting with copying consciousness into digital media although the ethics for that is still debatable among various cultures and subcultures.
if Saturnia inspired from solarpunk aesthetics, does communal events exist? Like maybe a massive festival dedicated to Saturn or 'nature' in our sense or a national potluck day or smth like that, just wholesome communal events that connect with nature and everything
They still do in less populated areas. A bit difficult to do in large dense settlements, where instead it's done through virtual reality.
Saturnian "virtual reality" has successfully replicated senses like touch and smell, alongside visual and audio, by directly and wirelessly interacting with the brain stem and providing "fake" senses. Which means this has also allowed the disabled to partake in virtual reality events.
I don't have ideas for Saturn-specific social events right now, but once I do, I'll tell you.
did they ever harness nuclear power?
Fusion reactors, in extremely limited numbers and in very specific use cases. Majority of power is still harvested from wind farms.
i mean if saturnians are technologically advanced, they must've created a technology that can replace or repair limbs?
Prosthetics? They're not super advanced in medicine. They still haven't solved their low healthy birth rate issue. 1.5 million years and they haven't figured out why only 7 out of 10 to 11 of their eggs are able to successfully hatch.
Some cultures believe it's the way Saturn intended and they shouldn't try to figure it out, like why would one question how nature works. Some other cultures believe it's a hidden genetic code waiting to be unlocked, and then some other cultures also believe that doing so will just cause disaster.
If it was an alien utopia, they wouldn't need weapons like railguns. But here they are, still having internal issues waiting to be solved.

The last song you listened to: i haven't listened to any music today except for one of those musical comedians, this one was about a guy whose friend was flirting with his dad and it was a banger lmao, twas hilarious
What are you wearing right now: the practical all black outfit i've been wearing (unfortunately) for most of the last 3 weeks as i work backstage crew for a musical. usually i change between work and the theater, but my sister starts a new job today which means there will be commute time added as she comes to get me, instead of her being here right at 5, so we won't have TIME to go home and change and get food before we have to head to the theater, so i'm just cutting out the middle man and wearing it all day. this is the third weekend of performances though, show closes sunday, so it's the only time i'll have to.
How tall are you? 5’8
Piercings? only ears, and i don't wear earrings very often, really only for special occasions
Tattoos? i've got one tattoo, as a memorial for my dad who died in 2017. it's a snippet of lyrics from one of the songs he wrote, behind my left ear. i'm planning on getting a memorial tattoo for my grandmother who died in november(?? i think) but we can't currently FIND the drawing she did that i was gonna get. so. if we ever find that again, i'm gonna get it on my hip.
Glasses or contacts? contacts, all day almost every day for about 20 years now, i put them in before i even get out of bed in the mornings. i hate not having peripheral vision in glasses.
Last drink: water yum yum
Last thing you ate: a chicken and cheese quesadilla and a banana/strawberry smoooooothie
Favorite color: big fan of purple
Any pets? not any of my own. had cats and a dog growing up, and had a rat for a few years a while back, but they have all since died 😅 i'm not inclined toward all the upkeep required for larger pets, so no cats or dogs if i have to actually take care of them entirely myself, and i would be down to get another rat or two, but my sister was DEVASTATED when Freya died and refuses to be traumatized by any more pets with short life spans aldkfjg. so no more rats lol.
Do you have a crush on anyone? nope uwu
Favorite fictional character: currently i am deeply fixated on Declan Lynch, somebody send help
A movie you think everyone should watch: uuuuhhhhh A Christmas Carol, the musical version with Kelsey Grammer?? first thing that came to mind, very random 😂 but that version is a banger, i love the music, clearly the superior adaptation of the story
A book you think everyone should read: mmm gonna throw darts at the wall and say Two Dark Moons by Avi Silver, cuz i read it fairly recently and enjoyed it a lot?? idk, i want there to be a fandom for that, i went looking on tumblr for stuff about it and found a grand total of like two posts and was very disappointed lol. somebody else go read it so i'm not alone XD
The last place you traveled: i don't go anywhere aldkfgh. i think the last place i went waaasssss alabama? Mobile maybe?? fuck i don't remember, we went to the Winona Judd concert, wherever it was.
Something you’re looking forward to: strike for this show i'm working 😂 probably the first time i've ever looked forward to strike (the process of disassembling a show's set and clearing out the theater and dressing rooms, huge ordeal) but after dealing with these obnoxious fucking difficult to maneuver set pieces for the last month, i think i will greatly enjoy reducing them to piles of wood and screws.
And I am tagging: @adamprrishcycle @cheeeryos @alloverthegaf @alisonhales @mayonnaisetoffees

Summer Wardrobe Worries
I definitely need to get some new outfits for the summer. The cheap T-shirts I have are mostly completely worn out and somewhat translucent despite only having them for like a year (don't buy Style & Co clothes if you value your money), and I can't wear sweaters and/or undershirts all the time to hide that.
So... I need to start coming up with some general ideas of what I want to be comfortable with.
Shorts: I haven't worn shorts since I started shaving my legs long before I came out (probably around 2017). Now that my body hair growth has slowed somewhat thanks to 💕HRT💕 I think I would be okay with going out in them. It's been so long since I've shown that much skin though, I think it'll be hard initially.
Crop Top: I think I have a good body type for crop tops in a conventional sense. I have never worn something quite so revealing as a daily outfit though, so the thought of it makes me a bit lightheaded. I always worry about making a fool of myself or looking weird and drawing undue attention to myself, so this one is a pretty big step for me.
Bra: I've been wearing the same five sports bras since 2020, before I started transitioning. Since that time, they've gotten a little tight for me. I've never been a fan of wired bras or lace, so I've been looking at bralettes recently. One thing that's been holding me back has been actually finding one that fits. I got my current cheap sports bras off Amazon🤮 and kinda guessed at the size. It didn't fit snugly like it should due to my then diminished chest, so I never learned how to properly fit a bra. I know that it's the difference between mid-breast and underbust, but the thought of actually going to a store and trying some out is terrifying to me. I still haven't entirely gotten over the feeling that I'm somewhere I don't belong.
I still want to maintain the cute/cozy aesthetic that I can't seem to put my finger on, so that just adds another layer of complexity. There's so much that I want to do but haven't worked out how to go about. I'm starting to look at more outfit inspo and a lot of it looks good, but isn't really what I'm going for. I'm getting tired of feeling anxious over this stuff, and need to take the plunge to change that.

The Girlishness of Woman according to Fascinating Womanhood (1963; 2017)
Fascinating Womanhood is a book written by Helen Andelin and was first published in 1963. I just finished reading Fascinating Womanhood: Vintage Edition (2017) revised and edited by Helen's daughter, Dixie Andelin Forsyth. Both versions focus on developing a deeply romantic marriage. One of the mentioned qualities that the ideal woman should have, from a man's point of view, attracts special attention.
I warn you that this book deviates from feminist and scientific literature, and the advice contained therein is rather the subjective reflections of the authors (more about criticism FW).
Childlikeness
According to the authors, childlikeness is the most charming feature: is an extreme girlishness. It is a quality of sauciness, spunk, innocence, trustfulness and tenderness all mixed into one [p. 222].
Childlikeness may manifest itself in communicating emotions, asking for things, manner and in appearance. However, I focused more on finding the answer to why adult women should pretend to be little girls? First of all, extreme girlishness makes him feel more masculine thanks to the strong contrast, so it is a form of communicating women's position. The mentioned charm comes from flattering men and transforming them into superiority.
Also a woman who is angry and moody gives the impression of a child who suddenly changes emotions. The stronger one should protect and take care of such a delightfully human little creature, therefore Andelin's ideal woman is defenseless.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Girlish appearance
According to Fascinating Womanhood childlikeness is extremely exciting for men. And since men are visual creatures, girlishness should also be reflected in a woman's outfit. As well: this youthful apperance also has a psychological effect* on the woman in actually making her feel younger [p. 260].
What should an ideal wardrobe contain?
jumpers pleated skirts, baby doll yokes, skirts with ruffles, petticoats and pantaloons
dresses trimmed with rickrack, daisies, buttons and bows
white collars, black velvet ribbons, bright and vivid colors of fabrics
The above things sound like something out of the coquette or dollete aesthetic popular today. Therefore, it can be said that Andelin's classic work, slightly updated by her daughter, also fits into today's framework. Maybe we shouldn't draw inspiration from the childlikeness quality, but it must be admitted that women have wanted to look girlish for at least 60 years!
*I think that the authors had in mind a self-fulfilling prophecy with this vague term.
