learned something about myself lately

#i dont think its even the fact almost all my characters are somewhat beasts in one way or another. i just #really like tails and wish i had one myself #and then my oc designs are a little tame theyre mostly human shaped with animal features. but they always have tails #my eyes have recently been opened to the appeal of long whiplike unicorn tails.. so flowy and curly #something about the tuft at the end being long and swirly just does something for me..#maybe it would make sense to change auggies tail shape so it looks like a meteor. her design is mainly pink with hot pink accent #so it would be cool to use that and orange to make it look like a fire meteor.. maybe itll help complement the blue/green in her design #head full of ocs today so expect a ramble later #if i had a tail i think it would be long with a kink. so it kind of folds over once but not in a curl #when it wags its kind of a swaying motion. i have thought about this a normal amount #yapping

HAPPY (kinda late oops) BIRTHDAY MIWA!!!!!!!! ignore the other two LOOK AT HER!!!! IT’S MIRABELLE MSUNDAY!!!!

greyscale versions + my very normal color ramblings below!

ok full disclosure i already had this post drafted before realizing that mira’s birthday was coming up. i kinda debated just posting the mira doodles on their own but!!! i want to talk about my craft/general color headcanons still. and the mira art is part of that!! so be warned. also, this is going to reference my post about my craft headcanons a lot so like. read that if you so desire.

i personally think that mira’s healing craft is some form of creative craft, since the game describes her holding her palms up when she uses it (iirc anyways). this doesn’t really have an effect on anything, but it’s why i decided to color it yellow!

(also i ended up making mira’s scissors craft a lot more orange than i initially planned but that’s ok!!! i think both of her crafts would be pretty Orange. just thought i’d mention that since it’s a bit different from my first post)

i already explained sif’s craft in my last post so now i get to talk about the change god!!!!!! this is like. probably the most out there in terms of my color headcanons? but i have a reason for that. since the change god is, well, a deity, i thought it would be fitting for their design to match the colors of the 3 craft types (red, blue, and yellow)! this was a little hard to work around given that i also try to give my vaugarde designs warmer color palettes, but i think it worked out!

i also gave them a few slightly different palettes, since i think it’ll make sense for the change god’s colors to be variable. they never look the same, so why would their palette look the same? + i’m indecisive and liked all of these palettes lol

sorry for the ramble! i really like talking about character design and i’m not. very succinct. thanks for reading all this (if you did, perfectly fine if you didn’t!), here’s the greyscale versions as promised!!!

#marshdoodles #isat #in stars and time #isat spoilers #HAPPY BIRTHDAY MIRABELLE!!! sorry for hijacking your birthday to ramble about colors 🩶#i usually reserve my character design infodumps for the tags but i REALLY wanted to talk about my change god design. sorry #dont mind the fact that the change god palette looks like mettaton #this isn’t the first time i’ve drawn the change god btw! i just. haven’t posted those #because they’re for isatscryption #also posting this at a different time than usual because i don’t want to actually miss her birthday lol #anyways again!!! sorry for the infodump!!!!

have i ever mentioned that my Charlie Emily is part native btw :]

#it's 1/8th if u were wondering #i myself am 1/16th but i based the percentage off of my dad who is 1/8th and has dark curly hair like charlie #just character design rambles.#i know it's like. not that much. to be 1/16th native american. but it's always been the most important part of my identity to me eheh #like growing up i was just always more interested in it #when native american history came up in social studies classes i would pay way more attention #i'd actively look for books in the library about the Cherokee people or the Trail of Tears #as i'm ancestrally Cherokee #there was like a. ~special club~ at my elementary school thatd meet every so often #for all the native american kids in school. and we'd discuss native american history during lunch #that i got to be in. that was fun #im just rambling at this point. its a part of me that's important to me even if it's so little #and to my dad too. ive learned quite a bit of stuff from him

Minecraft diaries but I need an excuse to practice drawing musculature and body types based on combat style

Clearly there is no favoritism here.

Reasoning behind this actually runs deeper than just drawing hot people unfortunately…

Garroth’s a tank, high defense, built for defensive combat — I like to think that he was trained also in the Ro'meave combat style plus guard academy, but switched to a more defensive combat style once settling down in a small town like Phoenix drop.

Laurance is similar in build to Garroth thanks to guard training, but he's quick on his feet and agile. His mobility has been permanently enhanced post shadow knight transformation, and his instincts are also heightened (SK but also his brief period of blindness)

Katelyn is broad — simply because her combat style focuses more on hand to hand / close range combat. Thus her upper body strength likely is more prominent in her design. She just really likes punching things.

#minecraft diaries #mcd aphmau #mcd #aphmau #mcd garroth #mcd katelyn #mcd laurance #aphmau mcd #minecraft fanart #aphverse #aphblr #garroth ro'meave #katelyn the firefist #laurance zvahl #sorry for the garroth tit jumpscare 😭😭#Katelyn is my favorite character I just rarely draw her bc I find it hard to capture her visage to my expectations #yeah #I’m just rambling but yeah I love character designs based on practicality #it is almost 4am and I’m still thinking abt these characters

You're a kid now…🧍‍♂️still a kid now!

#if it's not clear this is me doodling human versions of the promo kids lmao #my art #scribbles #v #splatoon #if anyone is interested in thoughts:#3 promos have mostly natural hair but dye or bleach ends for subtle style. hiroooo also has beads in place of suction cups and at the ends #veronika has a bandage over their face btw and the purple tips are from hiroooo's dye #I was thinking about school kids primarily with 1 promo kid #so mainly natural hair color with a few rebellious streaks of color #orange inkling girl also has 2 pigtails from the back that she either has over her shoulders or brings to the front yor spyxfamily style #also choppy sidebangs I imagine she cut herself #she also has moles and blue boy as freckles #2 characters were definitely the hardest because I draw them the least objectively #I think since they're supposed to be the 'trendy flashy stylish' types they can have near full dye jobs that have fried their hair #their eyemask substitutes are just just bits of graphic makeup in my vision lmao #apologies for the rambles I've just been sitting on human designs for a bit and it literally just clicked tonight

It’s IRONIC. god. Nobody understands satire humor these days

First attempt at drawing Gideon and Kremy went surprisingly well maybe I’m destined to become a scaly idk. You guys have no idea how hard it was finding a pose that was easy to draw with Kremy’s alligator mouth. I probably forgot like 400 fey curses I barely remembered gideons flower crown. I’m not drawing that thing but imagine the dulcet tones of the worlds greatest bard (morning Ross) playing in the background.

Guys you can’t blame me I just watched episode 15 and I was possessed and blacked out and woke up staring at this

Ft. Some drunk pixie wives and the only three people that cared about Thaco (I did not look up a reference I just drew a clown)

Anyways pose under cut

It had to be adjusted a bit

Click for better quality

Shotout to Leona and Cheka for singlehandedly getting me out of the worst artblock I've had in months, love these guys

Tbh I just wanted to draw Cheka doing that one thing kids do when they treat you like a climbing tree, I have other drawing about that but it's a work in progress, it was supposed to be animation practice but Ibis got some crunchy quality on the canvas if you don't pay so. Yeah. Also Grim is here bc why not
