Ngl, Idk If I'll Finish Today's Prompt On Time. I Have Flat Colours Down, But I Just Keep Getting Distracted

"All things considered, it was nice while it lasted"

explanation and references below the cut

so, this was actually supposed to be an art study, but I got so carried away that the original artworks became inspiration rather than anything. that said, it was quite a bit outside of my comfort zone, and it was really fun to make. I want to try implementing bright colours into my art more now

here is the canvas with the references, all made by @isjasz

also, I gotta say, going from Etho POV straight to Martyn POV is quite a whiplash (although I imagine it'd be much stronger the other way around)

like, team renwood mining session is chill, you know right away that they'll stick together, they talk about being old men, Martyn gives Ren a diamond unprompted (at least I don't remember Ren asking? either way it's very chill)

meanwhile there's the B.E.T. team. not only do Bdubs and Etho spend pretty much their whole time on the surface arguing like an old married couple (which also carries on to their mining session), but also their mining session is so wild. every time someone finds loot or, gods forbid, diamonds, they're on each other's THROATS. like, they're acting as if the SECOND there's back on surface they're gonna run off in separate directions

so I was looking through gem's name mc in search of her researcher skin

and I found this

so I present to you

grem

I'M SCREAMING-

he's gonna mansplain manhandle manwhore his way through the season while absolutely slaying it (both figuratively and literally)

AM I CRAZY OR DOES THIS STRAIGHT UP LOOK LIKE SCAR'S LIMITED LIFE OUTFIT

Hermittober Day 22: Warmth

you know the drill vvvvvvv

Hermittober prompt list made by @collierose1

the eepiness was strong, but the innate desire to draw block yuri was stronger

I hope I succeeded in translating onto paper the warmth I wish I was feeling. it gets to like 7C here at night nowadays Q_Q

anyways, this one looks less refined than my usual stuff in a way, but I like it. hope you do too

I just finished watching Pearl's session 2 POV and I just realized something

Pearl kind of takes after Scott in a way

I'm specifically talking about Scott's ally blessing. at the end of her video she was talking to Impulse and was explaining how this time she wants him to win. and it's not even the first time she's helped someone else win, she offered her life to Scar back in Secret Life. and people (including me) say that it was Scott's blessing that helped Scar, but what if Pearl had to do with it also?

I've had a theory for a while that every Life Series curse and blessing has 2 aspects to it. the canary curse means the bearer dies first AND right before many other deaths follow. the ally blessing means the recipient wins AND dies. so what if the blessing is now split between 2 players? after all, in Secret Life Scott was Gem's ally first and foremost, only being allied with Scar for a very short time. he wasn't even on the same side as Scar in the zombie apocalypse. but Pearl was. Pearl went into finale by his side. so according to this theory Scott's part (ensuring the ally dies) worked on Gem and Pearl's part (ensuring the ally wins) worked on Scar

Scott died for his soulmate, so his part is the death. Pearl saw her soulmate die for her, so her part is protection until the win

so yeah, Impulse was one of my picks for the win even before session 1 videos were released, but now he's pretty much my top 1 pick

a little bit from an AU I've been cooking up

(if you haven't read it I highly recommend you go do that :3)

so, I was reading it and had a vision, a meme that I could make. but then I realized that I'd need visual design concepts for the Big Three, so I decided to have a go at it myself >:3

starting with One!

now, you may notice that I've yet again forgotten to give a character from wtdb their wings. and I've actually noticed it back when I was doing lineart, but couldn't fit it in nicely, so just imagine they're there. I'll probably make the wing designs into another post, but we'll see

and ngl, I started writing out my thoughts on design choices, but I have too many of those for this post, so I shall hold myself back :,) (if even just ONE (1) person asks me about those I'm writing a whole damn essay)

IT MY BIRTHDAY!!! :D
