DSMP/iDots - Aged a6d Sketch (Crimson AU)
~~~~~~~~~~
Here's another Crimson AU headshot fanart/doodle for y'all. Like the previous post I uploaded of an aged and sorcerer Skeppy, I took one of my old sketches, rebased and slightly detailed it, and recolored it. Because I have done these artworks on my iPad lately, they may look a little messier than those I have drawn on my computer.
As written in the titles for my Crimson alternate storyline, the universe is a crossover of the Dream SMP and the former iDots SMP, and may include other empires (I have yet to decide). Similarly like the sketch of Skeppy, a6d is also aged in this piece. I'll say he may be in his early 50's, late 40's at the youngest. He has scars from previous battles in his lifetime, the obvious injury to his left eye also being a result of these past events. Like the scar tissue on his face, he has some alike on the palms of his hands and the underside of his fingers. Mentioned in Marlboro's biography (wip), a6d is a humanoid, perhaps a human-humanoid hybrid of some sort-- it's unclear. His only seen eye is shadowed darkly to indicate major fatigue as he exhumed himself deeply into his studies, as well as raising a hyperactive draconequus daughter. His clothing appearance is an inspired look of both Twilight Sparkle and Angerjack from Scribbler Productions's, "Friendship is Tragic," as he wears an eyepatch and has scars all across his entirety like Applejack, and his cloak is very close in appearance to the one Twilight wears when she travels to reconcile with her friends. The cloak he wears is a dark blue violet in color. Underneath this, and from a full body perspective, he would simply wear his usual iconic outfit (check his Minecraft skin or previous fanarts I have done). At this point in his life, it is rare that he wears the bandana he once did considering he has a white cotton eyepatch in its place. If he does put it on, it's usually a more appropriate output for his family like his (adoptive) grandkids. He does not wear any additional accessories other than on occasion he is seen with a staff strapped to his back.
A few years into the initial start of the Crimson AU, a6d finds his adoptive daughter, Belladonna, out in the middle of nowhere in the forest outskirts of the dormant iDots SMP. Nicknaming her "Bella" for short, he questions her full name, having never heard anyone with it before. His reconnected friends scour their books for information, and discover that the draconequus was most probably named after the belladonna flowers that can be used for documentation books, poppets, and kettle recipes in witchery (reference to the witchery mod). It peaks a6d's curiosity and few years following adopting his daughter, he begins his studies in witchery and sorcery. Unlike most lore and other forms of fiction, warlocks are depicted as always being evil and using black/dark magic, but a6d becomes that of a neutral warlock, using both types of magic (for the record, dark and light magic are the same, but the intentions behind the one using them is what makes them opposites). Belladonna, being born with chaotic powers herself, is taught on how to control and properly use them by her father, and even learns spells that he has studied and conducted, leading her down the path of being a neutral witch. a6d reaches the highest status of being a warlock and eventually reaches the tier of casting necromancy spells. However, he chooses not to use this power and branches to explore something else completely, this being exploring that of his species and his origins shortly before his unfortunate and tragic fate.

MCYT - Hey Jupiter (+ Bonus panels)
~~~~~~~~~~
I’m posting this to all my social media (DA was uploaded day before) on November 25th, 2021, so Happy Thanksgiving, everyone!
I think in terms of the events in my writings was where the inspiration for this render was born. Canonically speaking in the specific fandom, I honestly can not pinpoint where the inspiration comes from. The setting seen in the render is based off the "Dakota Version" music video.
The song "Hey Jupiter" by Tori Amos was a turning point in the particular album, and the artist explains that it is a break up song. The moment of whom is singing phones her lover, metaphorically receiving no response and thus represents the departure of the man in her life. The narrator appears to have always put her partner first and she becomes estranged with herself. Now alone, she is left to confront her thoughts, as well as herself. She acknowledges a masochistic side to herself that wants to return to this relationship despite it was hurting her feelings. This is an important part to the song, as it gives her the chance to know herself and become aware of her own feelings, the feelings she had suppressed for so long and now that she and she alone are left to deal with.
On a TV series known as "Storytellers," Amos was asked about the circumstances surrounding the emotions of "Hey Jupiter." She explains during the time that she was in a bind and she was doing bad things. One such thing she describes is being in a love triangle with two men of which she was unsure if they were truly real or not. "Strange things happen when you're on tour," Amos says, explaining during her "Under the Pink" tour that she would see two aspirations of assumingly dead English men at the foot of her bed that would sing to her. Humorously, she explains that she is unaware of how copyright laws work, so she was not sure as to whether or not she needed to call one of the men's ex-wife for permission of using the song. "She's rich, she's not nice. So anyway, I kept the copyright, and the guys forgot who I was-- the song is mine."

MCYT - Little Earthquakes (Skeppy & a6d Ver.) (+ close-ups)
~~~~~~~~~~
I really didn’t think I’d be making another version with inspiration of Little Earthquakes, but here it is. If you recall, I made a version of this render with Bad and Skeppy based on their strained bond in the Egglore (fictive). However, in terms of relationships outside the screen, I thought the song also fit well for the recently reconnected friendship of Skeppy and a6d. For the record, in case it wasn’t obvious, this is not shipping art.
This may be away from the point, but here is how I gained my inspiration for this particular piece and why I chose those seen here to be featured. I just attended a concert on June 12th and saw my all time favorite artist, Tori Amos, for the first time in my life. Of course, it was not unlikely that I’d start binge listening to her music, of which I did beforehand. At some point, I listened to her song “Little Earthquakes” again and it somehow got me thinking of the topic of Skeppy and a6d’s recent reconciliation. In a response video, Skeppy briefly, but thoroughly explained issues of the two’s troubled and rocky friendship. Yet despite all that occurred, they have been able to talk a lot more lately as far as I am understanding.
The song “Little Earthquakes,” written by Tori Amos, was born out of frictions she experienced between friends and family. In the lyrics referring to Christmas parties, this an example as a source of tension, where people may be uncomforted by one another’s presence, so they have to pretend to enjoy themselves, despite not wanting to mingle or converse. The parallel of elevator music and safe conversations at this party are both noises that serve to fill what would otherwise be the silence. However, small talk does not resolve the tension, and is only a momentary distraction. In the end, the problems remain and the narrator of the song is “left here silent,” feeling at though their true voice and feelings will not be heard. “Little earthquakes” are as the narrator describes as what rocks the relationship between them and another, and when these are failed to be addressed or occur enough it has the power strong enough “to rip us into pieces.” Though I did not place the lyrics here, the bridge, “I can’t reach you, can’t reach you, give me life, give me pain, give me myself again,” overall means that Amos had to step back from her close relationships because she could not give those in question what they needed. The distancing, of course, is never an easy process, and it can be quite painful, but sometimes it is necessary for an individual to reassess themselves and be able to form more meaningful connections. The artist wanted to reclaim her sense of self and her independence, even if that mean or required in return the pain that came with distancing herself.

MCSM (Storytale) - Admin Family
~~~~~~~~~~
I have heard of Storytale or the Minecraft Story Mode version of Undertale and understand that this picture does not exactly fall into the same versions I have viewed. For example, Jesse replaced Toriel, not Xara. However, I would like to design my own version using my own theory to the game. That being said, Xara acts as Toriel, Romeo as Asgore, Fred as Asriel, and Binta as Chara.

MCYT - Cornflake Girl Pt. 2 & 3
~~~~~~~~~~
MCYT - Cornflake Girl Pt. 2:
For the record, the way I am posting portions of the "MCYT Cornflake Girl" animation is completely out of order and still a work in process, so I apologize if it seems confusing. That being said, this photo along with the next one will be a bit hard to understand because they were inspired off the US version music video, not the UK version unlike the majority of renders.
Please do not whine and yell at me for the fact that it looks as though I am displaying bondage with the Minecraft YouTubers. I am aware that none are comfortable with the idea of NSFW and their characters, and that is not what I am trying to display in this render or the next. As I said before, the next two photos' imagery was inspired by the US version music video of the song "Cornflake Girl." Not much is seen in this render specifically, so there is not much for me to talk about or describe in the piece. In the next deviation, I will have more to clarify and explain.
~~~~~~~~~~
MCYT - Cornflake Girl Pt. 3:
Recall what I said-- this is not displaying bondage of any of the Minecraft YouTubers, and I happily respect their boundaries. The imagery seen here is inspired of a scene from the US version of Tori Amos's "Cornflake Girl" music video.
Seen in the music video, Amos hangs from what appears to be a set of monkey bars, swinging back and forth. Seated next to her is what I assumed to be one she describes as a "raisin girl." "In an American perspective the cornflake girl comes from a redneck-family from the mid-west and the raisin girl would be the product of a multi-racial circle of friends from the big city," Amos explains in a February 1994 interview with the Dutch magazine Nieuwe Revu. The term "cornflake girl" refers to narrow-mindedness, while the "raisin girl" is the open-mindedness. I could have explained in the previous render that the perspective in which the song "Cornflake Girl" is sung is from someone converting from a cornflake girl to a raisin girl, however is faced with disillusionment.
Rabbit is a woman Amos once knew. She described her as a hippieish and off-the-grid type that lived in the California and Oregon woods. She lived with ironically-named partner, Fox. "So Rabbit living in the woods with Fox," Amos thought this was romantic. She also claimed the animal, a rabbit, represents fear in traditions of some Native American people.
