#seeing the water themed ones makes me want to draw more of those lol theyre always so fun.... i just like messing around wit lines and color

[vacueye]

looking through old tf2 stuff again + felt like reuploading some of my favorite (mostly spy) art throughout the years

[spearxwind]

OOF... i dont even have a theme for the major extinction characters sjlklfdhk. i dont.. i dont have most minor characters planned out even 

I WILL GIVE YOU HOWEVER, a song that’s been inspiring me for certain worldbuilding things (though i cant say much bc idk if itll end up showing in the story at all but you can have it!)

Oh man, im influenced by a bunch of art and comics but i couldnt pin down specific inspirations for those haha

as for the more broad sense, i also have a bunch of things! significantly, physics and space. it might not look like it but i think a lot about the logistics of things and whatever rules would exist in my universes etc. it does suck sometimes bc it prevents me from doing things just for the hell of it, but i love applying knowledge to things. and space has always been something really close to me, my dad’s an astrophysicist so ive been exposed to all sorts of cool knowledge about it since i was a wee bab 

i also really really love metaphors and symbolism, but rather than take inspiration from things i just use my own personal symbolism x) i put a lot of myself in what i do. which.. i guess could be said for many artists too so its not too special haha

and also as with many other artists, i AM fueled by spite significantly. specifically 1. for the people who once thought or who still think id never be good to do art, or that id never get better at what i do. 2. for people who draw wings wrong (especially professional people? what’s wrong with you. im begging you to look at a bird) 3. for people and companies that make terrible designs with terrible decisions (they fuel me to do better than them) 4. for people who believe that the only way to be good at art and design is to make overly complex and visually charged, detailed designs with many colors/hues (all my ocs are fairly simple and have the most limited colors kffhk) 

im sure there’s a lot more but ive spent a lot of time writing this out already and i cant really think of anything else so i hope this is a good enough answer!! 

god i do NOT have enough knowledge for this but what the fuck was up with the volturi lol. like fuckin, vampire goth club over there did nothing to change over hundreds of years, all of them still stuck in their medieval ways. i remember a plot point that was touched upon was that they had a specific person lure in a bunch of lost tourists through the sewer entrance so that the volturi could drink them and like ?? bro. how is this not investigated at any point, ever. like a shit ton of tourists just disappear ??? all the time?? and no one gives a fuck?? no investigation?? what do they do with the bodies?????

also, they were willing to blast the carlisle family into fucking orbit over Turning A Child (tm) into a vampire, but they had absolutely no qualms about vampire wars/soldiers where a lot of people were irresponsibly turned into neophytes for their strength (like jasper) or people who turned others just for the fuck of it or bc theyd have sickass powers (like benjamin. that was the sole reason for benjamin being turned. bc the dude could feel that benj would have cool powers and he absolutely did... he was a fucking avatar. controller of the elements. and he did absolutely jack shit in the books. im still so mad) 

but yeah anyway the volturi are big hypocrites. got nothing to say about their lifestyle and aesthetic tho bc italians just be like that

his horns and the spikes on his forearms and tail are rly solid and rly pointy so theyre about as dangerous as a solid, pointy big thing can be

the spikes on his neck and back are a lot softer though. theyre flat scales and are probably bendy, but still sturdy. they don’t have edges or anything so you wont be sliced up if you touch them but touching them is probably not too comfortable

alex would probably be a crocodile tbh! it’s one of the things i based his dragon form off of for the latest iteration, and i just think it fits him a lot (also its funny that crocodiles are water creatures but alex has a Big Dislike of water)

also i literally cannot see adri as anything other than a snake sklhfsdk. its what he is!! this is like asking someone’s favorite color but not letting them choose their actual favorite. do you want me to lie? do you want me to say something not true??

Honestly i always loved deer but refused to acknowledge it, especially to myself, and much less thought about having one as a sona bc “prey animals are lame” was rly prevalent in my circles for the longest time. everyone was a dragon or a wolf etc bc they wanted to be cool and so did i but i never vibed with it it took me a rly long time to just accept that i rly liked deer haha and i think what made me decide on it in the end was ‘well i can make a deer more monstery if i wanted to, i have that power’ and so i did  then later i tied the whole ‘wrong deer’ aesthetic to my own personal symbolism of always being picked on by many until i got sick of it and learned to stand up for myself. my sona is something that’s not for people to prey on anymore, and so am i c:

honestly? ive never thought about it. im not too knowledgeable about dnd still so i dont think id be able to do them justice

ive thought about making dnd encounters based off of my ocs thought (like, how their powers would work turn/mechanic wise) but if i ever did i dont think id use them or talk about them :’) 

jkdg gosh thats so sweet thank you sm!! im so happy you enjoy my stuff :’DDDD 

WELL, in no particular order: 

1. several glass bottles 2. bei’s pet golem sierra (they got her back though) 3. a knife or two probably 4. an air conditioning remote 5. do sewer rats count? sewer rats. besides all the other rats i mean 6. homeless man who tried to rob his store at gunpoint 7. the gun  8. drank a bottle of cyanide once 9. a motorcycle (as collateral damage) 10. tbh he will eat any creature he finds while walking around that’s small enough to fit in his mouth and no one can rly stop him

DISGOSTING!!! not even bc of the flavor i rly dont care abt that but bc like... warm pineapple... that’s the real crime 

oh my gosh that’d be an honor tbh!! I’m not sure if i’d be a big help since i might be tied with school stuff at the time, but id definitely love to try!! ty!!

MORE miscellaneous thoughts and ideas for Changeling Sim!

* If I decide to set the story in the UK, maybe the de-stress holiday options could be different to reflect it? Just having spring/summ/autumn/winter holidays was always a bit confusing for me in Princess Maker, i am really bad at telling the time and i could never remember which time gave which stat boosts no matter how many times I played! So it could be neat maybe if you can just pick between different types of holiday that give different stats. But maybe still have a few random cute splash images for them, which change each season even if the stats don’t. * Anyway i was thinking an option could be ‘farm’? Or like.. ‘country’? Whatever way to phrase it would contain the most types of holiday, lol. i remember I always really adored these as a kid, so maybe they get a bonus depending on how low the kiddo’s age is? Splash images could be her feeding a baby goat, maybe doing some horseriding, maybe doing a pottery course cos they had one of those at my local model village. Speaking of which, maybe have a model village one where you get a lil bonus historical education along with your goat hugs! * And maybe an option could be a theme park or holiday home type place. i cant remember what the official term for those is, I always used to call them all Butlins just cos Butlins was the one we visited most often as a kid. My grandma lived nearby. It was like a sort of thing like disneyland? Like a theme park so big that it has multiple areas and on-site hotels and youre meant to stay there for the weekend and stuff. Except butlins isnt big, its just that its common to have these things even for small ones here. Its like.. the closest thing we have to american ‘summer camp’? Except its a whole family thing. But it has all the activities and sports areas and stuff, and you’d stay for a weekend up to a month. And have lil cabins. Also i laugh at how my perception of the word cabaret was completely backwards thanks to these places! The little kids’s singing and standup comedy thingie at butlins was called the cabaret so I thought thats what it meant. Rather than it being a word for raunchy adult dances that was kinda used ironically here XD * or maybe just have a regular day trip small theme park thing as an option. That’s like the most common family holiday in modern times, right? It could give me a fun chance to draw some references to real life ones I went to as a kid, like Thorpe and Oakwood and Barry Island! And lots of potential for different cute splash images, there could be a family rollercoaster ride pic that fills up more and more as you make more friends throughout the game! See everyone’s comical reactions! And omg, a haunted house and maybe like a log plume or other water ride? And just a pic of everyone eating terrible theme park snack food and being buried in merchandise because wasting all your money is what holidays are really about! * Oh and while I’m thinking about it, maybe make the currency actually be british pounds and follow rational money logics? like £50 for the cheapest farm trip holiday up to £300 or so for the weekend camp one. Not 300 gold for a single book, lol! rpg currency doesnt even match up to yen properly, stuff is just way too cheap instead of way too expensive XD thats like a £5 sword, lol * Also even the holidays that stay the same could be a bit different if I try making them more british! like we could show a big ol grey british pebble beach and have everyone drenched under an umbrella like ‘well this isnt exactly what i imagined’ XD Tho those can be really fun too if the weather is okay, theyre fun all year round instead of just summer! You can find fossils on the shore, and see more crabs and seaweed and stuff! But you dont get to build sandcastles so i’m glad there’s still a few proper beaches around the country lol. * Oh and I probably wont have any sort of beach fanservice cos even if i wanted to throw it in for other people’s enjoyment its not like I’ve had much practise drawing stuff I hate, haha! But I could just double up on the funnycute family antics instead. Having the mother character be an actual presence in the plot makes it a lot easier, cos I could include her in these scenes instead of having to keep her face hidden 24/7. And cos she’s miss buff former hero of the human world, we could have her like... carrying a giant pile of supplies in winter holiday and being all overprotective, running around weilding one of those giant beach umbrellas like a lance in summer, trying to pick a fight with a bull in the farm holiday. generally just being a funny background event! The mum who’s more immature than her kid XD * Maybe take something from other games in the genre like Prince Maker Braveness and Spirited Heart, and add a £0 indoor relaxation option to the holiday menu? Like, not all stress relief HAS to be a holiday. And maybe make the ‘wander around the local shops’ holiday give a small stat boost to outgoingness or charisma or whatever its called, while hanging out indoors raises studying but doesnt decrease stress as much and has a chance of decreasing your social skills if you do it too much. Maybe every holiday could have a chance of not working if you do it too many times in a row? or maybe that’d be too annoying gameplay-wise, even if its more realistic. Sometimes realism needs to be suspended in favour of fun! * Also i liked that in Spirited Heart you could explore in a (non-monster-infested) forest for a holiday! Maybe that could boost magic stats a little? I also remember how the old flash game My Pet Protector had a thing where you actually had to find the different holiday locations while dungeoncrawling before you could use them. Tho i didnt like how it was random whether the flag would activate, so you had to keep going back to the same dungeon. Unnecessary awkwardness! * Maybe a random chance of friend characters appearing in the background of holiday splash screens? It would make it less boring to see the same pic again and again during a long game with lots of replay value, yo. Or other randomized minor features getting swapped out, like kiddo playing with a different animal at the farm, or whatever.
