#warmup doodle but make it a shitpost

[rhinocio]

mutant mayhem design team I have one question

[cryptidko]

This was supposed to be a warmup shitpost before I started making Travis' reference sheet but I got a little carried away and it's been three hours help.

Plus a little bonus doodle that I actually did mid drawing that thing to just cool down my brain.

season 1 summary: may 2024

i've hit 30 situations! this summary is mainly for my personal documentation (i like documenting stuff), but i thought i'd post this in the blog too just in case anyone else was interested!

STATISTICS

to the surprise of absolutely no one, whit got first place, appearing eight times throughout may 2024! however, his first place is because of a technicality, since i counted the pinned post for this season. otherwise he'd tie with second place and our recently crowned "invasive species", arei, who appeared seven times. i know i encouraged you people to let her commit crimes, but it appears i have underestimated the fandom because there's STILL people telling her to steal even MORE stuff in the inbox. third place is charles, appearing five times, three of which happened in the span of five days. bullying him (and making arei and whit bully him) is really fun though!

also, i think now is a good time to talk about how i "plan" out the situations. i try to draw at least one situation a day as a "warmup" before i draw... Other Stuff, and i try to stock up at least a week's worth of doodles, just in case i become unavailable for whatever reason. i also try my Absolute Best to ensure that everyone* appears at least twice a month, whether by picking requests wildly out of order or taking matters to my own hands through the original situations, though a bias for whit really can't be avoided...

*mai and monotv are excluded from this "rule", though i bring out monotv often when i need a casualty. take arei and whit stacking things and arei and j playing mario kart, for example!

PERSONAL FAVORITES (in chronological order)

1) Motivational words from Min

I still consider this one of my greatest creations in my mortal life. maybe i should reblog this on main everytime i procrastinate on something. i'm sure there will be always someone who needs the encouragement

2) Charles holds Eden's yuri manga hostage

this headcanon sucker punched me on what was a normal afternoon, but i'm glad i realized it to this world... even though i barely read new stuff in the first place, let alone yuri. maybe one day i'll find something that caters to my oddly specific tastes, but for now i'll enjoy the yaoi vs yuri memes from afar and let those more qualified than me to verify how true himejoshi eden and himedanshi charles are

3) A regular "PMD Club" meeting

i am an autotroph and need to create one oddly specific self-indulgent situation per month to sustain myself and the joy i have for drawing. i promise this Will happen again. i might even outright sneak in some of my aus, out of context...!

4) Arei steals Charles' goggles

it really says a lot about me as a person that my personal favorites are mostly unserious shitposts, but i've been meaning to draw arei bullying charles with the nerd emoji since... a few months ago, i think? some of the situations are prompts i've always wanted to draw, but am too lazy to do in my "proper" style

THE POWER OF HINDSIGHT

sometimes i think of adding punchlines in the situations, or fix errors after i've put them in the queue, but forget to actually. do them.

after arei stole david's hairclips, emovid's debut would've been something along the lines of arei freeing him from his stage persona by taking away his hairclips. but i forgor.

monotv's body had the wrong colors this one time, but i have since decided that arei got paid by the real monotv to murder a bootleg / defect monotv

as i've mentioned in the tags, teruko on a llama at the machu picchu was supposed to be posted in ace yaps and levi listens' place, but i did an Oopsie and forgot to adjust the queue properly. out of the ~10 posts i had queued up that time, i got insanely lucky that the teruko doodle was the one that got delayed, since i forgot to draw her bandage. ultimate lucky student moment

also as i've mentioned in the tags, if my wii was still working i would've attempted to recreate an actual screenshot of j and arei playing mario kart wii

arei would've have had more time to steal even more things before i put her in jail, but i decided to give her a break this month. i assure you, she will return with a Vengeance.

OTHER REMARKS

i've gotten so, so used to drawing whit and arei. i haven't quite gotten the hang of everyone else yet, though i can draw xander, eden, and charles pretty consistently. hardest to draw is hu, but that's mainly because i can't draw straight hair

i kinda wanna add a subtle pattern to the background…? even just a grid would be fine. also thinking of changing the background color every now and then

i'd like to make an animation one day. it's definitely going to be a shitpost and a very unserious situation, but i'd like to make an animation one day

i expected struggling to catch up with requests, but i genuinely didn't expect about two new requests a day?? i really thought i had to pad out the days with more of my original situations, but i'm actually glad i have such a big selection of requests with a decent variety. Aside from arei's many, many crimes.

if you're still here... thank you so, so much! for reading until the end and entertaining my side project! i've never been a particularly "active" artist and tend to lurk more often than not, but seeing the same people regularly come and leave little comments in their reblogs does something to my heart that i didn't think could ever happen. even seeing new people excites me, because i think this is the smallest fandom i've ever been in? i hope i can keep this blog going…!

It doesn’t seem to respond to yelling

love yourself! respect yourself! love yourse

yo i dont think i ever posted infinite's sisters for my canon? well, i've posted tamar but like hollup:

eteri has a finished drawing bc i meant to do em all oldest to youngest, but alas i forgot. oops!

shitpost of 2 and 3 aka tamar and infinite. i love them lmao.

these are my beta sketches for his younger sisters natela (L) and gulisa (R) but like, i really mean beta. like, these are almost a year old. 😎👉👉 procrastination fellas!

this is a slightly more recent doodle of gulisa when she's a wee bit older, but it's blurry and poorly done bc they're warmup sketches. oh well! maybe this will make me elaborate some day :")

Sinus infection making me late to the Inktober, so please accept previously unseen Vauthry shitposts that pass for my warmup doodles in the meantime

If it’s any consolation my snot is punishing me lmao

Brain: Lizalfos are potentially THE stronger enemies in botw since they wield multiple elements, canonically don't require sleep, can move fast in water/sand/land, have a better organization than other species of monsters since they're actively 'owning' certain areas and pushing against the zora area using their weakness to their advantage and drop some of the best weapons you find between normal mobs.

Me: CUTIES

Still with Lizekiel from @chronicdelusionistsart, I just.... really appreciate the big lizards, okay? Not canon to Sunstone or anything but expect eventual shitposting involving them now and then. They do make for some good warmup doodles :P

artist ask meme answers bc i’m too lazy and impatient to wait lol

📏 What’s your go-to canvas size? ok embarrassing + sounds oddly specific at first but it’s 1920x1280px, and this is bc it’s the largest and best supported canvas size for tumblr jkhkdj but tbh bc of that i’m comfortable w/ drawing b/w 1000-2000px sizes (i used to draw on the smallest size for tumblr which is 580x840px)

☕ Do you do warmup sketches before drawing? (Bonus: do you have any to share?) not really warm up sketches but just more warm up lines lol, like the exercise you do where you draw 3 or 4 dots on the page and try to make one smooth line connecting them all, yeah that

🙃 Which is easier: faces facing left, right, or front view? definitely facing left and facing front

📚 How many layers do you typically use? i used to use a ton of layers for each section that needed colouring especially, but now it’s like, 1-2 sketch layers, 1 line art layer, 1-3 colouring layers, and then 10 shading+highlight layers kjdhd

🐻 Your go-to things to draw when you need comfort? def ocs i love and/ or things that don’t really need me to hunt for a reference

📐 Whats your favorite kinds of lines to draw? i’m not 100% sure what this question is asking but i like drawing lines for fluffy/ soft things and all the lines are soft and broken and don’t need bold lines

💐 Do your drawings suit your aesthetics? honestly not really :’D i love the look of like. dark, mysterious looking things but i still can’t achieve it

🦋 Do your drawings resemble you? by majority of my drawings being silly shitposts then yeah

✨ How often do you draw? i try to draw everyday, and by draw i mean drawing anything even sketches and shitposts bc that counts as drawing and screw crunch culture

🌗 Is night or day better for drawing? i try to draw more during the day but i always end up drawing from like. 9pm to 6am lol
