what if they were so so tiny
#i spent an embarrassing amount of time on this lol#pixel art really is just about moving the same two pixels around for hours trying to understand what works best#it's fun trying to capture their shapes on such a small scale though#wally darling#welcome home#my art#eddie dear#sally starlet#julie joyful#frank frankly#poppy partridge#barnaby b. beagle#howdy pillar

Could I request Medic having The Mom Grip on Scout’s shoulder after the speedy moron almost let a mercenary secret slip while they weee getting groceries?
Three Europeans and two Americans walk into a grocery store in New Mexico.
I hope this is the right meme.
More silliness below.
This comic is the antithesis of the "wtf is a kilometre" joke.
The faces they make when they can't quite identify the type of brown bread in the bread aisle.
You don't know how [insert nationality here] you are until you go overseas and things are different.
Spy obviously has no problems with pretending to know how much a gallon of milk is, he just peeks into his conversion chart notes, pretending it's his shopping list.
I want to think Heavy is completely fine with having to readjust to a new unit system, he just eyeballs most practical things anyways by holding them up and mumbling about how they approximately weigh like a chicken or his kettle bell etc. He's always been living in practical ignorant bliss.
Medic has a peer reviewed meltdown the first time he realises there's no uniformity in "a cup of ____" because every object has different densities. He's diligent about memorising the conversion rates for ounces, pounds, the most common things etc., and recovers ok. He goes through the same stages of grief rage when he finds out about distances and lengths.
Just remember four inches are 10.16 cm and pray no one asks you to specify anything bigger than inches.
Everyone does a mental victory lap when they manage to guess how much Celsius the weather is because they keep forgetting it's Celsius*5/9+32=Fahrenheit, Engineer reminds them patiently.
The true victories are the correct temperature guesses we've made along the way.
One time, a friend asked me if I actually knew how much a tablespoon of flour was in gramms to convince me that metric users also make use of volume based units without thinking about them. But little did she know a heaped spoonful of 405 flour is about 15g and a level tablespoon is 10g.
They claim Oolong just tastes better when it's boiled to 80°C exactly with a Bunsen burner.
You only asked for one scene but somehow I came up with a bunch of other things. This post was drawn across 2 months so the artstyle is all over the place. Thanks for your ask!
#team fortress 2#tf2#tf2 medic#tf2 scout#tf2 spy#tf2 heavy#tf2 soldier#Medic's reaction to a stick of butter is 100% based on my own reaction after reading an American recipe for the first time#Like I didn't know butter in America came in this normed stick-form I genuinely thought it was some arbitrary unit like ??? A Stick??#As in I didn't know if the recipe required the butter to be in this specific shape; like sometimes you have to add butter in shaves or molt#no biggie lemme whittle away at my butter block until it's shaped like a stick? And then I learnt it was the portions that butter comes in#Cut me some slack; I'm used to recipes using eggs as the scale-up ingredient; not butter#I also learnt that medical labels is where metric units are mostly encountered simply because medicine is international#But that is the main reason why I think Medic would not realise he'd have to deal with imperial units until he goes grocery shopping#The man's just been ignoring the “oz” information right below everything he's ever used; out of sight out of mind#I want to think Engi is the most normal person about the entire metric-imperial-units thing he just does some mental arithmetic and done#King just learned système international d'unités during one of his 11 phds; it's not unrealistic

Prompt 300
Danny squirms and hisses, trying to dig his claws into dark scales as the clouds whistle by. “Wait- Ancients dammit- STOP!” he shrieked, cursing how tiny his own ghost form was compared to his other not-quite-future-self. Wings that could easily dwarf the entire Ops center beat through the air, fast enough to cause his eyes to sting.
“Dan- bring me back- stop-” he wailed, despite the grip on his scruff not even loosening. Yet the larger dragon didn’t so much as twitch back towards Amity, the city disappearing into the distance like a speck. “We have to go back-”
The GIW were- were- They had to go back! The portal was gone (exploded, broken and all of Fentonworks a smoldering mess, oh Ancients he’s gonna be sick-), no one could return to the Realms, they were all sitting ducks-
“Jordan please-” he begged, even though he already knew that between the city, between every other ghost and them, Dan would always choose to keep them safe. But Jazz was hurt, she wasn’t waking up from where she lay limply cradled in Dan’s claws.
There was so much blood, and he only knew she was still alive from the weak fluttering of her core, growing stronger as her heartbeat faded. She needed help, she needed doctors- he doesn’t know if she would be able to come back, not with how they were leaving the ecto-rich city behind and he didn’t want to lose her- Dan’s blank panic was swamping his own, drowning both of them in the emotion as the dragon tore through the sky. Some part of him knew they couldn’t stay in Amity anymore, but- But Jazz needed help- Danny couldn’t help the tears that dripped from his yes, pretending it was merely the clouds as they flew to places unknown to him.
If you are interested in their designs, here is a link: HERE
Heey mutual @radiance1 Dragon buddy o' mine & @hdgnj u might enjoy
#DCxDP#DPxDC#Prompts#Ghosts are Dragons#Dad Dan#Halfa Jazz#Ellie is also there as a Core & needs to regrow her body thanks to the Portal explosion#Dead Fenton Parents#But up to you if they were good or bad#Combine Danny’s & Vlad’s obsessions & you get overprotective family-obsessed dragon of the Sun#Sun Core Dan#Ocean Core Jazz#Space Core Danny#Moon Core Ellie#As I currently don’t have art for a dragon Jazz imagine blue-scaled serpentine dragon with fins down the tail &#coral-shaped horns & bright orange hair down the spine that looks like shimmering honey at times not unlike Dan’s fire fur#They could be going to Gotham or to Nanda Parbat or anywhere with a Pit#Their flight also gets spotted by several heroes because Big Fucking Dragon#Several Time Travellers pale because that is the Thing That Destroyed the World up and about#and it is a few years too early they Think for it to be discovered or awake or anything-#What do you mean there’s two hatchlings & an egg-thing

Golden Fleece
#my art#cotl#cotl lamb#blood#it was really fun to ponder this one#cause in the game sprite the body on the fleece has the scale-like texture but the hem is sharp like the standard fleece#i felt a 2 tiered piece would work nicely to show both of these contrasting elements#the sprite always makes me think of gold scale mail but i wanted to avoid it looking explicitly like armor#since the fleece gives you stacking atk damage in exchange of taking 2x damage when hit#although tbqh gold armor would be fucking pointless anyways. gold is a very soft metal. which may have been the point but w/e#instead i wanted the shapes to be more reminiscent of wool since like. yknow. the golden fleece#and i wanted it to speak of luxury and power but be rather impractical for movement or protection#i just wanted to do an axe for funsies and by wonderful coincidence remembered the godly axe was gold :]#anyways this pose is brought to you by my stupid ass who spun too hard with my upper body when swinging a bat and felt cool for 1 second#before totally unbalancing myself and falling#the instant after this image lambo eats shit. rest in peace

More Epic: the animated show fake screenshots because I promised them and my brain would not let go.
Open them up for all that crispy quality and the little Oddyseus faces (istg I love that man).
Part 1 with God Games here!
#sol art#my art#epic: the musical#epic: the troy saga#epic the musical fanart#the odyssey#odysseus#zeus#poseidon#hermes#greek mythology#I have this headcanon thah the gods can change shape and size at will#so of course they can disguise themselves as humans#but they also change scale for scenic and intimidation purposes#which is why Zeus and Poseidon are almost always gigantic#while Hermes is human-sized most of the time#he also floats around he never walks

This one’s name is Coral (not to be confused with Queen Coral, but she was named after her) She’s Bay’s younger sister and an animus. (Her and Bay are friends with Hourglass because they go to a small school of animuses and hybrids. Bay just came with his sister. They have three more dragons in their friend group but who knows when I’ll draw them.)
#My art#my OCs#oc: coral#seawing#seawing oc#wof seawing#WOF#wof art#wof oc#wof oc art#wings of fire#wingsoffire#wings of fire oc#seawing wings of fire#animus#seawing animus#Her down-pointing horns (and kind of scale pattern and fin shape? Not as much though) were inspired by HoneyBeest’s Turtle design#HoneyBeest is only on insta and twitter and stuff though so I can’t @ unfortunately#anyways she was fun to draw. VERY similar looking to her brother- mostly just slightly lighter and less saturated#y’all freaked OUT over Bay- he’s got like 260 notes as of me writing this- but Hourglass conversely has like 20 something notes. So idk if-#-tumblr users just like seawings or what but I guess we’ll find out with this one wont we#I should do a lineup of the top sides of all their wings shouldn’t I… maybe at a later date

Done (heavy quotation marks) with monster Ody @evergreen292 ;)
tbh I couldn’t for the life of me pick a color palette I liked And Render it so I gave up on color. Enjoy the half assery.
Tbh I’ve just been call it Ithacan Naga, but it’s objectively it’s a mix of snake, owl/bird, and human. So 🤷.
Tbh the wings are supposed to be white/gray-brown, cause owls & Hermes, while his scales are supposed to be an oscillating scale from sea green-blue to purple-tinted gray. Uhm. Evidently that sorta didn’t happen but also did. So.
The purple/grayer scales are gonna be more around with the feathers and wings.
Those fin colors are. Too blue and too bright but I love the colors themselves so they’re staying for now.
Uhm. That’s it for now, ig. I’m sorta on a timer rn and I’m tired so <3
The writing bit with this is still in the works (😭)
#Odysseus#epic the musical#Ithacan naga au#guess that’s what we’re calling it#an Ithacan naga would deadass just be an aquatic naga#I think#the feathers and wings are cause he’s Zeus/Hermes’ kin & Athena blessed#tbh the main reason i wanted to color at all is cause I wanted easier differentiation between… everything. and actually draw the scales.#so snakes have this extra (?) bone that connects their skull & jaw which is what lets them extend it. so. ody gets that here.#resting/casual naga ody is like. 7ish ft? anything intimindation or just rising usually reaches 11-12 ft. his full length js 20 ft#naga eyes don’t have any eyelids. it looks very odd on a human (unsettling)#owl eyes don’t really have visible white scelcra#or however you spell it#nor do snakes#unsettling#maybe I’ll caption this later but hhhhh#he’s sorta supposed to be an olive sea snake and fish owl#but fuck colors rn#uhm cause he’s aquatic I suppose he does have to make up with Poseidon… uhm let’s say after everything Seidon picks up a fuss and Athena#argues back n everything and it causes a reallllly big fuss so Zeus (+ others) eventually work smth out that basically amounts to:#Don’t fuckin bother each other (intentionally)#also endgame for naga ody (he can change back and forth dw) is that he gets used to it. he doesn’t advertise it cause he’s sneaky like that#(and after he gets over the self loathing). uhmmm. yeah. It’s great cause NEREID PEN and SEA NAGA ODY#they can go on sea hunts together!!!!#ody CAN fly yes. same logic that lets Hermes fly with 2 small pairs of wings on his ankles and head.#he folds the wings when swimming and the fins fan out underwater. vice versa. his feathers are waterproof.#you can BARELY see the vauge shape of thighs/legs melting into the serpent part btw.#Ari’s art#my art#I’mma add onto this + actually type this out in a post later or smth

hey so if yakumo puts up an essence shield does it looks like
this.?
this?
or this??
#behold... MY COMPRESSED PIXELS!!!!#i swear during berserker oli or smth yaku made a shield that was shaped like a snake going AAAAAHHHHHH#and it sorta absorbed all the attack into its maw#which...thinking about it .... wouldn't that hurt extra?#letting an energy blast hit you directly on your (lack of) tonsils?#why wouldn't you block it out with your more solid skin? unless the snake is a indeed magical energy shield snake#and the offending attack is just a tasty snack. like a refreshing smoothie (but with velocity)#which led me to the idea of defensive cinnamon roll snake#they're shielding themselves while rolling up into a tight bun???#or yaku could have scrapped the theatrics and just gone for a simple covering shield like the 1st one#maybe it woul dbe basic round shape overall but with a little snake flair textured like scales. like a honeycomb of protective reptile skin#actually . you know what.#next time yakumo puts up a shield it's just gonna be a massive projection of: 🥺#the massive face will catch anyone offguard.... protective watery eyes emoji#mirage of scales#nu carnival yakumo

A commissioned portrait of Ajisai entitled 'The Last Portrait of Light', named so because the artist refuses to ever rein her in for another sitting. She had to be bribed with marrons glacés, the cost of which eclipsed the value of the painting itself.
#i have a hard time imagining her idling long enough to be painted; sitting still while reading is a completely different matter#Edmont just wanted a portrait of another child he loves more than his own sons#i do have Ajisai's midsaize scaling on here and i think it's neat that the dress is designed to create that ''victorian'' silhouette becaus#the sleeves are so large and the skirt so floof#and the 'v' shape of the bodice#THE FACT I CAN'T HAVE THIS DRESS WITHOUT CRIMES IS BULLSHIT#ajisaijar#gposejar#ffxiv screenshots#ffxiv screenies#ffxiv gpose#au ra#raen#ishgard#explain to me why ajisai is serving 'someone's mother' energy in this?#maybe i'm just wolship child brain rn#that tends to happen when i watch spyxfamily

me before SoTE: Gehrman 🤝 Miquella on being seen as creeps and awful people by fandom over misinterpreting some bits!
me after SoTE: Gehrman 🤝 Miquella on not being able to accept the drastic change (mostly to the worse) of a person they held dear and latching onto their former, "nicer" version, attempting to resurrect that version even although the result is a bit of just a husk (.....AND being seen as creeps and awful people by fandom over misinterpreting some bits lololol)
_________
I guess they're doomed to be friends no matter what gfjhjgv At least with Gehrman's crafting skills, he can make him many pretty dresses
#soulsborne#bloodborne#gehrman the first hunter#elden ring#miquella the unalloyed#this trope is so unhealthy yet so sad#it is fascinating to think about though!!#but yeah...... happy end? lol gfjggjh#they're the 'he just doesn't understand!' guy#especially miq because with gehrman he is very justified with the grief of loss#meanwhile with radahn it was basically putting him out of 'misery' because he insisted on becoming Hoarah Loux 2#gfhgfghv awful way to put it I know but this is true#I'd argue that the scale on which demigods think is naturally a bit different from average humans tho#like psychology of the guys that have capacity and intention of shaping the world isnt 100% like us simple gremlins#but still heh#I discovered a thing I love to explore#the 'this isnt real you fuck come back' guy

Okay I wanna show my favorite piece of Uprising concept art, it’s been in the back of my mind ever since I saw it
Look at that.
#I can’t quite put my finger on why but I love it so much#theres a serenity here in its light colors. for once the use of scale doesn’t feel used to show how small and ‘insignificant’ programs are#instead it’s used to show how all of these programs have their own lives. and they filled up this vast world with their presence#LOOK AT ALL OF THOSE LITTLE DOTS. ALL PROGRAMS. ALL LIVING LIVES.#all of this data all of these little lines and shapes making me think of renaissance art and research and the homo universalis#ripping all of this shit out of my heart bc I’m certain that wasn’t intentional. idc tho#like. programs have added so much to this world there’s humanity and life showing in this structure#its something CLU or anyone else can’t just take away as an imperfection#idk I’m still reeling over it and I saw this first like last year#tron#tron uprising#save#wanna come back to this n see it over and over again#I ramble
