Cube plushie WIP

taller than I anticipated. About 0.7m (almost 2.5 feet)

Face details

[ID: Plushie of Cube from Just Shapes and Beats. Here her face is made of medium blue minky, with sides of darker corduroy, and a base of light blue fur. Her body is mostly light blue minky, with a white fur tummy and dark corduroy boots. Her head is stuffed for display, but the body is flat and unstuffed. She has an embroidered face of a nervously smiling expression. Her left eye is scarred. end ID]

Don't you recognize me?

[ID: Watercolor illustration. Corrupted Cube is sobbing, baring her teeth, stinger raised. Her claws are extended towards another shape. Her anger is directed towards Heli, who has come to rescue her. They have an arm in front of their chest defensively. Heli is thinly outlined by warm colors, Cube is completely surrounded by dark blue paint that gradiates into the rest of the page. end ID]

unwanted changes

PS I’m hosting a JSAB gift exchange

[ID: Two drawings.

Pen drawing on white paper. A strong shadow is cast over the right half, edited to be blue and pink. Cube, covered in fur and spikes, sits on her haunches crying. She has a long curling tail ending in a stinger like a fountain pen. Her child is very small before her. Both look equally concerned.

Pen drawing on white paper. Cube has her back facing Beetle, but she turns her head to yell at him. He recoils, sweating nervously. Both of their forms have changed to be more beastlike, covered in wild tufts of fur and sharp rows of spikes. End ID]

JSAB Gift Exchange

Further information below the cut. Sign up here!

Making artwork for other people like a "secret santa," but not expressly holiday themed. Mass art trade, if you will!

Rules

Must have a reference of how you draw JSAB character(s) or your OCs. Doesn’t need to be a turnaround, just a colored fullbody is fine! (Or, if you don't have a character, fill out this form instead.)

You are welcome to submit a non-JSAB OC if you feel they fit the general aesthetic. (Ex, geometric looking creatures from object shows.)

No sexual content, period. All ages event. Blood & other darker themes are ok if your assignment is comfortable with that, since these are present in the base game.

No bigotry

All skill levels & mediums are welcome. Please be kind to each other. Unkindness can bar you from entering future events.

It’s preferred to keep your assignment a secret, so your art is a surprise for them!

Timeline

September 30 form opens for 3 weeks

October 19 form closes

October 26 assignments are sent out via Tumblr message

November 16 reminders are sent, progress check-in

November 30 final art is due

Please let Thunder (host) know if you need to drop off the event for any reason, preferably minimum 2 weeks before due date. She will try to make up art for any drops. 

This is Thunder’s second year hosting an art gift exchange. The first was a general one on ToyHouse with 20 participants. She has been doing freelance commissions & coordinating other online events for 5+ years. 

-----

Optional art theme: cozy, family time, bountiful harvest (Relating to the fall season, not specific holidays like Thanksgiving.)

Thunder does not have the time/energy to maintain a discord server for this event, sorry. But I’m more than happy to talk 1:1, or if you have a small server of JSAB friends I’d love to join!

Image descriptions of your gifts are not required to participate, but they are highly encouraged. Here is a video and short article about how to make them. Message me for help if you need it. Basically they explain the content & context of your drawing. Make a good ID, and that piece of fandom is now accessible to screen reader users!

For comics & other complex interactions, I typically write a short fiction piece of the event / core content, not an exact image description.

Comic Transcript:

“Hello..? Heli, are you sure this thing’s, uh..?”

“If the light’s blinking that means it’s on.”

There is a series of watercolored drawings. Cube tilts her head to the side, looking concerned.

“AAH! Sorry, hello there!”

She stands straight upright, holding out a piece of paper to look over. She looks it over with wide eyes. 

“I come bearing news of a gift exchange! Two, actually, well, possibly two, depending on.. Ehm…”

She leans forward to re-read her notes, squinting in concentration, cat ears tilting back. Cyan points at the spot she’s looking for. 

“Ah!! Ok, so. It says here that you fill out the Google form with your.. characters? Or how you draw us? And then you’ll be contacted on October 26th to draw for someone else.”

Cyan beeps, pointing at a spot further down the paper. 

“Oh!! Sorry, not just drawings, you can also write or sew. Or make music, ooh! Is that like, writing a battle theme for someone?”

She looks over to Cyan excitedly, ears sticking up with alert. He just shrugs. She turns back to the camera. 

“Ok, well, ah, have fun!!”

Cube waves goodbye to the camera.

Pastry Lessons

Baked goods maker meets baked goods enjoyer, @blockheadblog

Your Cube design is my absolute favorite that I have found over the years omg

[ID: Art of two Cubes in a kitchen. Baklava and croissants are cooling in the background. On the left is Blocchetto, rolling out dough on the counter with a pin. She has a cat tail ending in a triangle. On the right is Buddy, sitting on a stool eating baklava. She has triangular cat ears and a sweater with triangles stitched to it. Blocchetto says nervously, "Sorry I haven't got any cookies, I mostly make pastry…" Buddy is just very happy to be there. "These are so good!!!" she says. end ID]

garden (WIP)

[ID: Acrylic painting of Beetle and Blocchetto on canvas board. Beetle is a giant orange beast with horns and a fluffy mane. He smiles, mouth open with fascination. Bloc, a blue humanoid creature with cat features, stands beside him. Bloc is showing him her garden, looking at him with fondness. The painting isn’t completed so there aren’t plants yet. The two of them just observe dirt. End ID]

[thunderworks]

sorry for the quick doodle but uhhhhhh CUBE BLAST

[ID: Digital drawing of Fables : Cube. Her kitty ears are shards from the Tree of Life, and she has an abundant cravat of blue fur surrounding her head like a mane. Her expression is a small downturned mouth with an equally small upturned eyebrow. end ID]

age chart

ID below cut

[ID: Marker illustration in blue lineart. Age chart of the player character Cyan from Just Shapes and Beats, as a thin humanoid with face like a square. Each age he is slightly taller. Behind him is Cube, for size reference, a chubby humanoid with face like a cube. Cube is about five feet tall.

He starts off as a baby in a onesie, with a devious grin he’s captioned “evil baby.” As a young child he wears an orange jacket, this is around when the game starts. He gains a little tuft of hair here. He looks apprehensive. His young teen years are awkward, he’s drawn in Cube’s sweater (which he stole) & nervously holding his hands to his chest. He’s gained a catlike tail. In his older teen years he appears more confident, standing with a more open posture. His hand has a square paw pad on it. Around this age he joined cross country, he’s drawn wearing a sleeveless shirt and orange shorts. By young adult he looks more settled into himself. He wears a pink shirt and jeans with relaxed posture, looking down at the past versions of himself. He’s finally stopped growing, and is slightly taller than Cube.

Two other doodles are on the right. The first is Cube crying and holding Cyan as a baby. Cyan is missing a piece of his face, it looks like shattered glass. He took a hit like in the game. The second is in orange markers. Cube and Cyan stand together, holding hands and facing each other. He’s a young adult. Both are holding back tears. She tells him, “I’m so proud of you.” End ID]

"oops"

asks for JSAB : Fables are open!

[ID: Watercolor illustration of Blocchetto post-purification. The corruption caused her humanoid form to become more animal-like, having fur and insect exoskeleton, which still hasn't gone away. She stands, one hand nervously behind her neck, and looks to someshapes offscreen. "What's wrong?" she asks. "Is there something in my fu-ur? …Guys? I di-idn't fall that hard guys, i-it's ok, I pro-omise…" One of the Triangle shards above her head has shattered. Scuff marks accompany the pink leaking out onto her face. end ID]

[ID: pencil sketch before watercolors were added. Her expression is more genuinely happy than nervous.

There's text off to the right that wasn't cropped out, from an unrelated comic. it reads "There is no happy medium unless Heli packs lunch"

progress

Lyrics from Passing Through by Kaden MacKay

Can't the future just wait? Can't the deadlines come, fashionably late? ; I could push every goal back, take control back, if they'd roll back the rate; Move on, 'Cause things never last Just move on, 'Cause it goes too fast, and the past has passed

[ID: Three digital drawings of Cube. The first he is frowning and sweating nervously, black liquid leaks from his left eye looking like tears. The second he has an angry feral expression with sharp teeth and furrowed brows, he's turned deep pink with mottled blues. He's covered in fur. A corrupted triangle sits on her chest. The last drawing she is still covered in fur, but is back to blue, and she smiles warmly. She's got two purified triangles atop her head like kitty ears. end ID]

Day 3: Hold

[ID: Watercolor and pencil illustration. Cube here is a bipedal monster with buglike limbs, fur running down her back, and a long catlike tail ending in a triangle. She grasps Cyan in a panic. He is a small child. “Don’t hurt him!!” She says, face fearful. Cyan looks more startled than anything, beeping from surprise. End ID]

Oogh my vergy own shapetober, how exciting :3
