Unfinished Blattsher drawing with my AU designs because I lost motivation to continue it :D

I don't think I'll finish this + I changed some things on Crusher and Watts and to feel happy with myself I'd have to fix the drawing (again, it happened twice already). 🥲

[grimmed]

so uh. i should probably share im working on an msm au thats just "humanized" (as in more human looking but not actually human) versions of the monsters, as i get more comfortable drawing them the way they're designed in the game ill definitely be doing that more often but i still gotta practice n see how i cant adapt it to my style

for now, here's some mythical sketches :) (also buzzinga x strombonin propaganda sjdjfjfhksjfjjejfjr)

[fishing-lesbian-catgirl]

are the arknights girls gijinkas of their names or are they just named like that

Uhh kind of neither. Arknights girls choose an operator code name for themselves when they join Rhodes Island. Some choose their actual names and are just named that, which means you can have an operator named Dorothy Franks choose Dorothy, but you can also have an operator named Olivia Silence choose Silence. Why is her last name Silence? Not important. Other people choose things that are thematically appropriate for who they are, construction worker Shana Moleman also works in combat as a defender who carries a big shield and acts as a wall to protect people behind her, so she choose the name Cement. There are all sorts of reasons to choose the names they do, Pudding choose Pudding because her new boss that was flirting with her called her Pudding and she just thought it was a nickname. The in universe animal/monster-girl race that is on Manticore’s medical record is just “Manticore”. Every character is different

This is to say that the people who design Arknights operators have their own reasons for choosing their names. For Asbestos’s case she is a salamander girl, her role in a team is tanking magical damage that is often in the form of fire. Salamanders used to be thought to be made from fire, as when they set logs that they were sleeping in on fire they would scurry out of the flames, this connection between salamanders and fire went on for a long time and also inspired things like charmander from Pokemon. Because salamanders were thought to be connected to fire or even fireproof, when the soft, fibrous, and extremely fireproof material asbestos was discovered it became known as “salamander wool”. Asbestos the material is toxic and carcinogenic, Asbestos the character exists in a world where there is a somewhat common terminal illness called oripathy that is essentially a magic rock cancer, people tend to be very afraid of the infected as its grants them increased ability to do powerful magic and when the disease kills them their body spreads infectious particles everywhere around them. Asbestos the character is one of the infected, and she’s also a toxic asshole who has only one friend because she’s very abrasive and rude to basically everyone and likes to be alone. All of the things about asbestos the material fit perfectly in the package of Asbestos the character. She’s a fire-proof, flamethrower-wielding, magic resistant magic tank, who has cancer, has the potential to spread cancer, has a toxic personality, and is a salamander girl. While in canon it seems there’s just an extremely fitting hazardous material that she named herself off of, in reality her name was likely decided early in her design to make all the elements of her fit together perfectly

Sorry that’s probably a longer answer than you wanted lol

The Sleepover Has Concluded!!

Thank you everyone for participating in my first ever community event! This was incredibly fun to host and create assets and backgrounds for! I had a blast hosting for you all, and I hope everyone really enjoyed participating in it, or at least watching along!

I will be taking a break from this blog as the event has undoubtedly caused me to burnout a smidge haha. Alotta art in just a short amount of time. I will of course be back as soon as I feel up to it! However you'll catch me running other blogs or doing other things and art in the meantime. (Like the new blog @distorteddiamonds wink wink)

Raffle Winners!!!

It is my pleasure to announce our raffle winners! Thank you everyone once again for supporting me for so long over the past year! I cannot state how much fun it's been to get to know everyone, and the fact so many of you enjoy my work makes me so happy! But before I ramble more...

Congratulations to @hoodies-monster-ranch for winning the gijinka design!! And congratulations to @pokepalsarchive for winning the icon!! Please be sure to DM me so I can grant you your prizes!!!

In Closing...

I will be finishing up a few interactions here that I wish to continue as I stated in my last post, but they will most likely all be text based haha.

Out of all the secrets at the event, 2/4 were discovered! Through interactions or appearances of unlikely characters, they were unlocked!

Zapdos will be leaving the event withouut his orb!! Let's hope he doesn't get scolded by Ryuki when he gets home.

And of course, Reshi has plenty of new friends she adores very very much, and cherishes the ones she already had that much more. Thank you again to everyone for participating!! I hope to see you very soon!! ;))

Artist Ask Challenge!

Number 18! 👀

Humans. Hands down. Ever noticed how I never draw em? It's in part because to me furries and anthros are just. So much more interesting. But also because I find humans IMPOSSIBLE to draw. The few times I have, it's ended up... okay. Not my greatest work.

This is also why I never really make gijinkas. Like ever. It's always bugs and monsters and such. If I have the choice, I can and will make creatures out of humans.

Someday I gotta work more on em. That day is not today lmao.

For the art assumptions: You never had a proper furry phase but so many of your friends did that you learned how to draw them through osmosis

...And I feel like you love the old Bluth style

hehehe i. kind of had a furry phase actually? it's one of those things where in hindsight i definitely drew a lot of anthros in middle school, but it never was something that really stuck with me if that makes sense? dragons were always my number 1 forever and always but i got those "draw furries!" books that were published in the early 2010s among a lot of other drawing books and it was definitely influential to a degree. that was also the time i was learning to draw people better so anthro stuff slotted in pretty neatly between monsters and people. also pokemon gijinkas. i've always had a soft spot for human-monster-animal hybrids dhfgklhgldh

i struggle to say it was much of a phase because even at that time i was never like. super deep in furry culture? i definitely made a fursona when i was 13, but compared to one of my friends at the time i was just on the outskirts of furry culture and i think i've sort of stayed in that area over the years. i think it's rad and fun overall but i don't consider myself one and it's never been something i've been inclined to really participate in outside of commissions or very occasional doodles. that being said i get why so many furries follow me or like my work (and i appreciate you all)

as for the don bluth style i...enjoy it i suppose, but it holds no particular meaning or significance for me. i vaguely remember seeing some of his stuff growing up but didn't have any impact on my artwork or style. that all being said and actually looking at his art now i can see where you could guess that, and really do appreciate how he stylizes animals in a way that retains semi-realistic features while also incorporating a certain cartoonishness to it all

thank you so much for the ask hehe :3c

[raziiyah]

ummm i'm only now realizing i never posted this here? here's my full body design of my human randall boggs that i drew last year!
