Rebuilding Trust: What to Do When Your Scammed.

Perhaps you have been promised the world and have come up empty-handed...

After searching for a reliable worker, I employed one to refurbish my bathroom. His name was Shane, and he seemed knowledgeable and personable. Shane was recommended, so I was confident I was employing someone I could trust and rely upon. Shane promised the job would take two weeks. He gutted the whole room leaving only the pipes. Everything was gone from floor to ceiling. After three months,…

Hargon may be more menacing than silly at times but idk what if I made it all sillier

I had a vision and I had to see it through, tell em Digby.

Saw the video linked below and that is EXACTLY how I imagined Digby and Dougie’s voices to be. Especially Digby, he has that lilt to his voice. Big burly guy but he knows which deli has the best pastrami and does your hair for you

Oops! All Spiders!

(Concept) Designs for all of Anansi’s sons for Spider’s Tag! They all collectively play pivotal rolls in their own segments plus the entire plot itself! I’m not sure if I’ll be changing the names since the original ones are very literal in their abilities, but I’ve gotten used to calling them as such so they might just say with the original names as “code names” or something. We’ll see!

Also a fun deal is that they’re all based on different kinds of spiders! I wanted to match a spider species with the abilities each one is depicted with! Don’t worry about the implications of that, I’m sure it means very little.

Trouble Seer is based on a jumping spider! Jumping spiders are skittish and quick and known for their jumping capabilities of course! Since Trouble Seer could detect trouble from far away, this is meant to play on the idea of “jumping into action” and being “quick to react.” In actuality, it’s not just “trouble” he’s seeing, but he has an impressive emotional tap in that allows him to sense all kinds of emotions from further. This allows him to prepare a little easier for situations. However, too much negative energy can end up troubling him too!

Road Builder is a Trapdoor Spider! Trapdoor Spiders are self explanatory— they hide themselves in a little burrow with a trapdoor like mechanism to sense and catch prey from within (Or something like that)! Considering the idea of this spider building a mechanism, I felt this worked with Road Builder well. He has a special spinning drill top he can use to break terrain down and even use the dug up materials for other means. He’s quick to craft and tie loose ends in. He likes to show off a little but is a great shoulder to lean on.

(Click for a better look!) River Drinker is a Diving Bell Spider! Diving Bell Spiders create a little bubble for them to breathe out of and even make a bubble web type of domain. They’re predominantly aquatic spiders! River Drinker seems to have some special filter inside of a self-weaved straw where he’s able to blow floating bubbles from the water he sips and then blows into the straw. He can carry himself with these bubbles, and sometimes even smaller critters or his other brothers. They don’t pop from the inside! Probably a property of his own niche.

Game Skinner is a Brown Recluse! Brown Recluse Spiders have a devastatingly poisonous bite that opens the skin up in an awful open wound (only look this up if you have a strong enough stomach). Game Skinner likes to gather resources from other places or critters to dress himself all flashy with, even creating little trinkets or masks with them. Is it genuine creativity, or an assert of dominance? Who knows, he just likes be flashy and maybe a little full of himself.

Stone Thrower is a Bolas Spider! Bolas spiders use a weaved “capture ball” at the end of a silk thread called a bolas to toss at prey to knock them from the sky. This fits perfectly with Stone’s niche of stone throwing! However, this appears to be a practice predominantly by female bolas spiders by nature of their larger bodies… for Stone, he doesn’t need you to know that ;)

Lastly, Cushion is of course a Tarantula! You could think of him as a Cobalt Blue Tarantula to be a little more specific. Tarantulas have a lot of fuzz to them— their size and subtle fluff works for Cushion! He is the biggest of all his brothers. Cushion is able to inflate his fluffy abdomen to make it more like a giant pillow to help cushion falls of his family, smaller critters, or even his own. He’ll stick his fluffy hands to his mouth and blow, which forces the pushed air to the abdomen to make it grow. Seems as if it’s entirely indestructible— not even a needle can pop it in its biggest size!

Huge thanks to @shroingushour for helping me match spider species to certain abilities and @pazam for some design help!

Also a bonus, Stone without the red dye! There are times where he won’t be dyed in the story. Dying his entire body red for outings takes a lot of work!

i was gonna draw something happy with Mitty but then my week got worse so im bullying her some more LOL

[trashartgalleries]

An idea a had a few days ago/ trying out more poses on IbisPaint

-Coral Island already has an outfit that's similar to the Goddess in the game, so all i did was add 2 more eyes

-the mystical outfit idea for Stardew Valley comes from the cutscene when you drink the potion to gain the ability to read the Junimo note

-MTAP and MTAS's outfits aren't exactly "mystical", but I based them off of an important figure from the game... Peach, the guy who ended the Age of Darkness

-it's been a while since I played MTAP, so I forgot what I named my first 2 builders TTwTT

-Begonia's a reoccurring farmer I make when I play Story of Seasons or Harvest Moon, so that's why she's alone

-I haven't played Stardew Valley in a long while... I only remember my first farmer...

-Jamie, Benjamin, and Teonnie are trans; peep the eyebrows (I give girls rounded ends and boys more square ends)

OOC::

I'm saving the explicit reveal of what the pattern of the floor looks like for later.

That's because it looks like this (w/ a smaller 5-block star hidden under the table)

Aster has not yet clocked that it's a fucking star, nor is aware that Daz is gonna name their group The Council of the Star.

He's saving that for when he can give Aster a metaphorical gut punch/overrule his inevitable objections about it. He is sooooo normal and reasonable you guys, this is certifiably sane behavior <3 <3 <3

i’ve been trying to fight making only no cc builds but build/buy cc is sooo cute like now that i have build so many houses now im tired of the same furniture 😭

[thefailguard]

I swear I'll get back to the game this weekend. Just dealing with copious amounts of House Stuff. Also just not vibing with the game yet at 15 hours in. I'm sure I will eventually. I just really don't like the 'personality' they gave the main character, at least not for a DA game.

anyways here's the saddest girl in thedas she's definitely not a Plucky Hero (me ignoring in-game dialogue)

Reckoning with the impact musical tastes have on playlist making because sometimes it means Hatsune Miku goes on the Fox Mulder playlist
