Ace of Hearts: Prinx Avemour Succulen

My first finished card design for my OC world card design project.

I am NOT extensively using card symbolism for this, save for Avemour being a heart card because it's for love, Azailenne being a spade card because it's more "military", Veroziel being a club card because it stands for youth, and Ertix/Quinceri being a diamond card because it stands for financial success / fame.

Avemour is the oldest child of the previous king of the Farlyxe empire, though an illegitimate child at best. Their exact lineage is not well known, but he has been accepted as part of the royal family nonetheless, although it would likely cause uproar should she actually have sought the throne... They seem uninterested, however, and prefer helping his brother King Azailenne manage the workload alongside the two's other siblings.

Avemour is known to be a tad naive and ditzy, it's a miracle that she has yet to be tainted by the cruelty of the world. Their siblings take great care to make sure it stays that way - her having a meltdown would be impossible to manage.

Unlike most Xanthryx false angels, Avemour lacks wings and does not appear to eat human meat. It's widely assumed that he is half human themselves, due to the cloudy nature of their lineage.

ppl are always depicting cyno in fanon as a comic relief annoying idiot partner to tighnari that cannot read the room and is always making him angry and yeah he doesn't have the best social skills and doesn't understand other people that well, but he knows that. and he also knows tighnari well enough to know that if he truly was annoyed with his behavior to the point of getting angry, he would shut that shit down real quick. he's not the type of person to just sit there and take it if he's genuinely bothered, i think. cyno's just putting himself out there without letting himself be paralyzed by his own shortcomings or insecurities, and it's pretty clear tighnari doesn't want him to repress himself either.

if anything, i can see tighnari being the one with an annoying habit in private that he has 0 self awareness about because he's so used to being the one dealing with other people's bullshit that he may not realize when he's the culprit for once, and cyno is too much of an unbothered king to say anything about it, and too madly in love to stay annoyed for long lol

made it to 2024!!! out of the most recent roblox drawings, it's kohane again :DD

seems like i moved out of free draw and into spray paint (despite spray paint being so painfully painfully painfully laggy. and has no undo button. and has a max of 10 layers (which you have to pay for more). And a stupid popup to pay for a bigger brush ever time i try using the biggest sized brush. and also constantly crashing

why? uhh i saw these youtubers draw on spray paint and it looked kinda fun teehee

despite the flaws, i'm actually having a lot of fun drawing on spray paint!! :0 i keep coming back to play more even tho the game hates me :( idk I like the challenge of keeping it to 10 layers (still hate the lag tho i will simply explode)

min and derrick is a criminally underrated dynamic. barely knew each other in school. derrick clocks in at the dropping bags over people’s heads factory but clocks out as soon as the shooting starts. immediately identifies min as the person to turn to when he’s sick of ethan’s shit. min who has endured sixty days of sarah knocking at the door lets him in with almost no prompting. they instantly build up like ten years worth of trust in the span of eight hours. derrick is practically throwing himself in front of gunfire to protect her the same day they have their first real conversation. they are then allies and besties for life and min leaves derrick in charge of the future of humanity. it’s about the instantaneous connection

Kingdoms of Illucaea

This project is a playing card deck I've been working on. Each suit represents a different kingdom and each kingdom is based off one of the four elements. So the King, Queen, and Jack of each suit will all feature full character art, plus the two jokers (like the 'Rogue' Joker below)

And because I'm me, and I have zero chill, I've also been writing an epic tale where all the characters become involved in a quest to save their world.

So when I do eventually publish the deck in it's physical form, there will be a "deluxe" version available that comes with a little booklet containing that story.

I’ve made more of them, we now have all the aces.

I know BEWD ends up being seto’s ancient Egyptian gf so that’s why they’re so connected but man I am never not thinking about how Pegasus makes it a toon and seto is so outraged — you’ve stripped it of it’s pride!! —

and then Pegasus strips Seto of Everything

being neurodivergent is all fun and games until you remember those hourly quote bots on twitter and think well maybe I can't make a bot anymore but I could schedule a few quotes a day, that shouldn't be hard. it sounds fun to have a bunch of quotes of my favorite character Thirteen from hit mobile game Obey Me! and its sequel Obey Me! Nightbringer. and then you think about how arduous collecting the quotes is going to be but she's only been in the games for maybe a year and a half with little screentime and you love collecting things so you start but then you remember that you love collecting things so naturally you have ALL of her screentime in the game and suddenly you have 45k characters of quotes and are several lessons into season 4 (which is truly a trial in and of itself) but not nearly close enough to the end but you refuse to just stop collecting the quotes and make the account with the EXCESS of what you have already because you literally only have season 4 to get through and if you don't do it just seeing the bot (because now you've been informed you can make tumblr bots instead) will haunt you with that knowledge even if nobody else would ever know. this is a general anecdote of a situation that could easily happen to anyone though and not in any way related to my life

Me: The Sword Suit terrifies me. Whenever a Sword card shows up in a reading I'm filled with dread. To me, Swords are MUCH more terrifying than The Tower, and definitely more terrifying than Death or The Devil. Like if a movie wants me to fear for the characters, they'll reveal a Sword card, not The Death card.

Also me: This character is This Sword card and this character is This Sword card. And this character fits this Sword card to a T! This character right here is the EPITAMY of This Sword card, I've never seen a character more THIS Sword card than this character in my life....

the entire time he was speaking during this scene i was mouthing "shut the fuck up shut the fuck up sHUT THE FUCK UP SHUT UP SHUT-!"

[damnation-if]

can confirm, war of the spark is absolute garbage. Worst part being that apparently it wasn't the author that retconned Chandra's sexuality, but WotC that told him to >:|. At the very least in the short stories they seem to have gone back to her being pan, but it's hard to tell if it's the main writers fighting against the company, or just plain old queerbaiting.

yeah it's hard to say what Really went on but. from what i can fathom reactionary panic was caused at wizards hq or wherever they talk about this stuff when a Predictable (to anyone who actually knows even vaguely what it's like to be a marginalised or queer person) backlash of straight dudes going "nuh uh, chandra Only wants to have sex with Me, a Cis Man" hit at roughly the same time as other people saying things like "hey. maybe it doesn't need to be a whole Thing that she also really thought Gideon was Hot while she professes her love for Nissa" and the... let's call it "pincer movement" of criticism caused them to hit the Eject button on the whole idea

i do believe they Intended it, though, not that it was queerbaiting... they wouldn't have published it in the first place otherwise. i think they just didn't anticipate... how many of their fans and readers will seethe in silence about queer male characters but draw a firm line in the sand at the idea of any woman they want to make kissy with having ever had a non-straight thought :/

it's a big old shame, i guess... luckily the book still sucks arse so nobody's missing out if they choose not to read it lmfao

i'll just add this one on here to keep the mtg discussion neat! uh, well... if you've been reading my tags, you'll know that. if gorgon pirate mercenary queen assassin green/black swarm's eminence icon Vraska asked me to do Literally Anything... i would not say no XD

i have a soft spot for... Many green planeswalkers, though. my green/blue babe Kiora, Arlinn... the big green v, Vivien... Saheeli........ Ral Zarek of course... there's probably a lot more if i'm being honest but those are probably my favourites.

i also Enjoy Rakdos and Ob-Nixilis as characters even though i wouldn't. personally want to be around them lmfao. the bit where Ob-Nixilis defeated Gideon's invulnerability by drowning him in a puddle was Amazing XD eat it gids

i also, possibly unsurprisingly, have a mild fondness for the Phyrexians 😔 i just enjoy transhumanism okay ajkdbhfasdfa

meechi. my favorite thing about Luck is that he really COULD pull bitches if he wanted to. If that was something he actively wanted to do? he absolutely could. outside of JUST his looks, he's naturally v charismatic and generally has a vibe most people find interesting. he doesn't really have a magnetism ; rather, it's more like a contemplative artist / noir detective vibe that people tend to gravitate towards him, even if they naturally dislike his personality at first. Luck absolutely has the ability to have more relationships than he currently does ; he just never cared for it and finds trying to prove such a thing juvenile at best. So, it just. Rarely happens.

Hello everyone, I’d like to share some art I’ve made for an upcoming project I’m apart of

[making-you-in-spore]

pinned post

TRANS RIGHTS!! TERFS GET THE FUCK OFF MY BLOG!!!!!!!

who are you?

i'm just a guy who likes spore [2008]

why do this?

i just really like spore and making creatures in spore. it helps me practice my creature creation abilities.

can you make my oc in spore?

as of right now i do not take requests. i generally find characters and creatures i want to make by them appearing on my dashboard. refer to the Request Beast.

what is in your icon?

captain thunderhide, my main spore space stage captain.

do you use mods?

i exclusively play this game with mods.

can i download the creatures you make?

only if the original creator of the design is okay with it and requests a png. please note that in order to successfully download the creatures, you will need to download every mod used to create them.

i will not always be able to say what mods i use to make something, so it's a gamble if you don't have all of the ones i use.

how do i mod spore/do advanced creature creation like you?

darkedgetv's FAQ is a very good resource to begin. i started there, and it's where i recommend you to start if you're interested in spore modding. it also contains many other mods i have not listed under the cut.

as much as i disagree with the process of using a discord server to contain vital information and resources, the davoonline spore modding community discord is also a good source of resources and mods that even i do not use.

what editor mods do you use?

a lot, so they'll be under the cut.

not mods, but highly recommended for enhanced playing experience

4GB patch - Tutorial - patches spore [and other 32bit programs] to be able to use 4gb of RAM. recommended if playing a highly modded copy, and makes the game more stable.

Reshade & ReSpore - post-processing injector & shader that alters the appearance of spore, giving it more detailed shading and vibrant colors. i use this for gameplay and screenshots. runs on GPU power, so excellent if you have a strong graphics card

HD graphics fix - this doesn't actually seem to work for my copy, but it alters the textures of base spore to be more high-quality.

mods that are absolute must-haves

these mods are ones that i use in almost every creation, and add a lot of QoL to the editors. if i forget a mod in a creature png i post, it will be one of these.

Dark injection - THE spore mod. it's likely a lot of other mods you'll download will mesh well with dark injection. you can turn off whatever you don't want to use through the installer.

Universal Property Enhancer - a library mod that many other mods require

The Smoother - a useful tool for building muscles and smoothing out your creatures' bodies

Enhanced Color Picker - a requirement for super detailed creations, enables hexcode color picking and color wheel selection beyond normal limits of spore

[UPE] Infinite Part Scaling - allows scaling of parts near-infinitely, beyond the limits of the original game

Project Skyncraft - adds new creature skinpaints

Unshackled - adds nodes and limbs for creating custom wings, heads, hands, etc. a little bit unstable, i mostly use this for wings.

Spore Stacker - allows stacking of any part

Subtle Rotations - reduces part rotation snapping

Advanced CE - adds building editor manipulators to the creature editor

Every Part Costs Nothing - self explanatory

Rotate Anything - lets you rotate anything, including feet and hands

Advanced Creature Paint - allows for individual coloring of parts on a creature, like in the building and vehicle editors

Ambient Occlusion Disabler - removes baked-on shadows for creatures

Delta Paints - adds new skinpaints

Valla's Skinpaint Switcheroo - adds duplicates of all vanilla, C&C, and GA creature coat and detail skinpaints into their opposite category

test drive related mods

these mods are not required to download the creatures i post, but are recommended for the test drive.

No More Creature Editor Animations - turns off the animations that play when you add eyes, mouth, feet/hands, etc

Sevan's TF2 editor animations - adds multiple animations from tf2 into the creature test drive.

Mx3's Dance Animations - adds a multitude of dance animations into the creature test drive.

Tenebris's Creature Test Drive Animations - adds many animations from within the game to the creature test drive.

EditorBG - adds extra editor backgrounds

Ramone Kemono's MMD Drag Ball - high-effort dance mod complete with special effects and a reverse engineered camera system

part mods

these mods add parts to the editors.

DroneParts 2017 - adds many mechanical and polygonal parts useful for machine creatures, i like to use it for building clothes and markings.

New Drone Parts - a sequel to droneparts 2017, compatible with the old version. install both at the same time if you want to be able to use creatures from the old droneparts mod.

Himeric Engine - adds horror-themed parts to the creature editor.

Spore Resurrection Next Steps - adds a few parts to the creature editor and several new textures to the building and vehicle editors.

Dinosaur Parts - adds parts based on dinosaurs and other animals. mostly heads.

Strange And Beautiful - a now-discontinued, reuploaded mod that adds unusual and unique parts to the creature editor

Bionicle parts - adds a few bionicle pieces to the creature editor

Little Box Of Horrors - adds many parts with an overall horror theme. some are animated.

Pandora's Toolbox [1.0] - adds a multitude of basic shapes and polygons to build with

Replicant - adds non-textured animating parts and non-animating parts in a separate tab. good for if you want to use hands, limbs, etc without them animating or adding stats

Armoured And Dangerous - adds a few high detail mechanical looking parts.

Delimbiter - increases the amount you can scale limb parts, and allows for more crazy movements of certain limb parts

Valla's Vanilla Style Parts - adds several parts which mimic the vanilla style

Wordsmith 2.1 - adds letters to the creature, building, and vehicle editors

Kaiju parts - adds several parts based on popular kaiju

Organic Help - adds many membrane pieces to the creature editor, for creating wing webbing among other things

Project: Mad Mannequins - adds many human body based parts. and a horse for some reason

A Mouth For All Seasons - adds alternate versions of all vanilla mouths [and all unused cell mouths] with alternate diets

Valla's Captain Badges - adds all space badge models into the captain outfitter and creature editor

Rock On! - adds rock props from spore into the building and creature editors
