It's black history month and I wanted to draw some black monsters, particularly ones that don't get enough love!

Hand studies I did a few weeks ago

[jadetheblueartist]

pssst…..jade….does this make Big mama crab in your shark AU? Crabs are related to spiders and it would just be so funny shdhsjsh (unless you had something else planned 👀)

YOU HAVE GREAT TIMING I DO IN FACT HAVE SOMETHING PLANNED AHKDKDLSHDBDKLSSHSJDKS

I kinda wish I would’ve seen this before I started working on this tho bc I didn’t know that crabs and spiders were related, tho I did have to give her legs that look kinda crab like so perhaps she’s more of an anglerfish-crab yokai ^^

MASTERPOST

Oh and like… I have ideas for some other characters so anybody is free to ask about them bc I need an excuse to draw them (cough cough, April or Drax, cough cough)

Up and Down

Thoughts on how beings generally perceive their world one spatial dimension lower than the dimensionality of the space they inhabit:

In the flatlands, the way people perceive the world around them is through lines, and so visual receptors HAVE to be on the edges of their shapes

Otherwise by all accounts the person would be effectively blind

So Mrs.Red and Mr.Blue have this strange yellow boy

Who appears to be born with no eyes

(It’s directly in his center, but without tests and doctors nobody can see it)

And for all intents and purposes, the boy is blind

He has to feel his way around buildings and people (in his hand a black cane that his parents bought to aid him)

And he doesn’t know what his parents look like, and only knows them by their voice as they guide him

They love him all the same, regardless

(Meanwhile, he stares up at the infinite expanse of the night sky. But the thing about infinity is that it makes where you stand so infinitesimally tiny in comparison, and no matter how far you run side to side the stars do not move an inch for you. And if they’re all someone sees, the only logical conclusion that can be drawn is that where they are is unspeakably, claustrophobically small)

(It doesn’t matter if the kids at school bully him and the adults look at him with pity and disdain that he can’t even see, because don’t they know how SMALL they are? Don’t they know how small EVERYTHING is?)

And so, with years and years and nowhere else to go, Bill reaches UP

(And no-one else has tried before, because why would they? There is no up or down to conceive, only forwards and backwards and left and right.)

It takes unimaginable amounts of energy to punch a rift into a dimension. In a time and space unmeasurably far away, a six fingered man and his five fingered twin would learn that lesson well

In the flatlands, it’s less of an interdimensional portal looming ominously in a metal room and more of a calculation

l is for length. w is for width. h is for height

And like a computer told to divide by zero, everything falls apart

Did you know that when energetic particles that erupt from the stars collide with a sufficiently nitrogen rich atmosphere, it produces the color blue?

Did you know the only reason the flatlanders didn’t drift off into the freezing cold yet boiling hot void of space, despite not having a planet with the volume and mass needed to produce a gravitational field, is their dimension’s lack of third dimensionality?

Like insects pinned underneath glass, yet the glass protected their corpses from falling apart?

They scream. He cries. He laughs. They die.

It’s an old saying: “When gravity falls and earth becomes sky beware the beast with just one eye”

And when little Billy looks away from the stars, looks down to finally see his tiny, minuscule home

For the first and last time, he sees a blue triangle with a hat, and a red triangle with a bow.

favourite stupid relationship dynamic: idiots who would immediately protect and defend the other but never themself

Opinion on Decarabian?

decarabian !! good ol deccy

i think he’s really neat !! that he had Good intentions, but the execution of them ,,,, he is above humanity in that he can’t really connect with them, doesn’t really know where to start. i Wish we knew more about him—because his inhuman-ness is so fun to explore about how he thinks of the world and his actions. did he start as a spirit too ?? personification of the storm, similar to makoto and ei ?? humans are so vastly different, each and every one, and he is,, the wind that pushes in one direction.

he reaches out to people in what makes sense to Him. but that does not translate across fully—you’ll die out in that cold, but you are safe, as long as i can see you, hear you, grab you. put your life into my hands and i will guard it. he was overbearing, he refused to let go, and i. wonder. if that made the people feel more like dolls, something to manage, something to study. something, what felt untouchable for so long, sliding pieces across a chessboard. he’s interesting.

decarabian should be given the chance to play the sims game.

The first Splatoon game turned 8 yesterday!

[definitelynotafurinasimp]

I love the fontaine teaser, the animation is great, the music is enough to make me want to put all of my and other peoples lifesavings into the game and don't even get me started on the character designs...

that being said.

Navia best girl
