[skrunksthatwunk]

had a very funny experience where someone rb'd a vaguely ship flavored post of mine with smth like "i love a good bromance" and because i get unjustifiably defensive every time someone uses that term (and also bc i like doing this sometimes) i went to their blog to like snoop around a bit and below a couple of posts of calling them bromanced up in the tags there's fanart of them kissing with tongue and i had to pause bc like. shit my bad there cowboy you're not in homophobic denial you do just genuinely love a good bromance

I legitimately forgot what my follower sticker was? If you don’t mind Bunny! Could you remind me?

Ya know... I don't think you had one!!

You followed me real early on (you were my 17th follower, in fact) and I only started doing them in earnest when I got around ~50 followers.

I know for you and a few of the other OGs I tagged you in stickers I thought you'd like (such as this one), but yeah if you've been following since 2021 you probably don't have a new follower sticker xD

Which honestly... Better late than never! Anything in particular you'd like for your (old) follower sticker? Or shall I just take a gander >:3

Update: Erth's "new" follower sticker is now posted here!

After the last episode, I was on an all-time fandom high. Now we're coming close to the finale. And I've faced enough trauma from disappointing finales that I'm getting nervous for this one :')

also i must chime in and recommend redrawing memes and/or screencaps from tv shows! it helps you develop an eye for composition and for anatomy and even for personal style by copying what you see from other images like that.

its also valuable honestly to copy the style of artists or media you like for practice too, though i recommend against posting that sort of practice unless you clearly state what you were doing bc some artists dont appreciate it without context (and honestly some dont appreciate it period even though its something every artist does consciously or not)

life drawing is based on all these concepts and its an infinitely valuable tool to improve your art in almost every way. in fact, if you have access to a mirror it helps a great deal to draw yourself from life if you cant draw others. i spent my entire highschool career drawing my own hand in front of me and now i find hands pretty effortless tbh. its a tried and true drawing/practice technique!

also try to remember that every drawing is worth it bc you learn from everything you do, especially the failures! ive also heard it said that when you draw smth and can see what's wrong with it (in your opinion) then that is an indication of improvement! your brain sees the issues before your hand can fix them, its part of the growth cycle! so keep at it :3

I'm just starting to draw so I don't have much imagination of what to draw, any advice? thanks :3

skateboarding, it’s fun and dynamic and easy to find cool references for

Congrats on finishing Ruina!!! Can’t wait til I finish lobcorp so I can also take my nuggets on a lil library adventure! On that note, how did you come up w stories for ur nuggets? I have a few ideas for my favorites but it’s a lil tougher for some of my newer ones that I’m not as attached to yet LOL

UWAHHH THANK U 🫶🫶 GOOD LUCK W LOBCORP!!! THE LIBRARY ADVENTURE IS SO FUN ✧▽✧)/

help this post ended up getting a little long bc I love making ocs,, halp…!!

we (meaning me and my best friend whos the one playing the games on stream for me HUAYSHSHD) mostly came up with stories based on vibes, plus jokes from gameplay happenings! (*except for mika and robertus…) the process is mainly like “oh they’re cute they seem like they’d have this kind of personality from their name and appearance” → deepening the character (how do I explain this… HKSJSKD)

like… are there any abnormalities that this employee always works with in-game? I like to read the abnormality’s story, try and summarise its concept, and imagine parallels~

for example, we have a nugget named goodie who from appearance and name alone we decided was like~ a sparkly and nice ikemen who everyone loves~ but I felt like I didn’t understand the depths of their character… then I was like omg… the abnormalities I most associate them with are nothing there and blue star… what if~ they want to be kind, but they feel like there’s no good reason to do that in the city… kindness will so often be repaid with spit in the eye, after all~ so in search for a purpose to “save” them (blue star cult motif) they cling to the belief that good deeds will be rewarded~ sort of like a treat hanging from a treadmill. as a result they have an impostor syndrome (nothing there inspired) where they doubt their own good deeds, even if they genuinely didn’t do it for any reward~

random cute or funny moments can serve as a basis for character traits too, like courtney always hitting people with the der freischutz gun → theyre a hotshot loose canon type, or tom always getting trapped in the snow queen’s ice + working with alephs → he has a… um… “fascination” with abnormalities! juliet’s whole character is based on the fact that they look scared as hell while carrying a big gun HKSJDK nothing is too small to latch onto 😤😤‼️‼️

MIKA AND ROBERTUS CAVEAT: sometimes literal crazy miracle events will happen in your game that serve you a whole character on a plate… like every single employee dying except for mika… and a panicked robertus trying to crazy murder them… so this wasn’t really a “start from tiny funny character traits and build up” situation it was more of like. a post-mortem investigation… of what the hell motivated this crazy yuri moment… and it turned from one fucked up gameplay happening to “robertus has always had a crush on mika but was never brave enough to act on it however during the chaos they finally decided to take a stand which resonated with the big bird ego suit and they awakened their own ego but then immediately corrupted/distorted and tried to kill mika and also it’s symbolic bc big bird’s themes are-“ etc etc etc etc…

OVERALL~ I think starting out with jokes is a great way to create a character~ you don’t have to worry about a huge backstory immediately. from small basic traits you can start to think, what do I associate with this character symbolically? (e.g., what animal do I associate with them?) how do they interact with other people or abnormalities? also of course I don’t have detailed backstories for all 40ish of them HUSHAIJS having 10ish favourites is a lot for me already…!! I generally view the oc creation process as sort of like… I’m waiting for this character to reveal their depths to me~ it will come eventually if I leave it stewing in my brain~ so take your time and have fun~ good luck manager!!!
