Tried Making My Own Troll Alpha Kids Omggg. I Don't Really Like How Rose Came Out, I Love Jade And John

i did some studies today, trying to get better at painting so that i feel less intimidated trying it out on a canvas someday XD

top two are references from google and the third bottom one is from my camera roll

i made it using krita, and i think i downloaded it in a way that came out more desaturated?? idk, all i know is that i edited it on my phone instead of trying to figure out what was wrong

happy birthday to all the unhinged women out there. be bitchy, grow muscle, be amazing, be pathetic, create the most beautiful pieces of art, dont shower for a month, be sad, be happy, cry alone, ask for help, be violent, be remorseful, learn, study, rot in bed, lose your sense of empathy, be good, be kind, teach, command, follow, breathe, create create create, be angry, destroy, be inconsistent, be obsessive, be organised, be compulsive, do horrible things, do amazing things, ask for forgiveness

maybe you do not deserve to be forgiven, maybe we are nothing more than our shortcomings...

if we are only bad things, what does that make us, if not the perfect ground to start rebuilding.

maybe you cant be so morally good that you would give yourself and everything to a partner, maybe your habits make you uncomfortable to be around, maybe you aren't goodness personified.

but what does that mean?

just, we should never have to hide parts of ourselves or pretend that they're accidents or slip ups. Sometimes we do bad things, on purpose, sometimes we smell like shit and are irritable and we don't try to repress it.

should we try to minimise other's pain?

probably, and if we hurt someone because of something that we did on purpose we ask for forgiveness.

do we have to be perfect before we ever enter society? thats how it feels like sometimes.

do bad things, but ultimately, try to be a good person.women

Have a nepeta, genuinely my favorite troll to draw i think

Awww, look at them dancing, just two little guys

What you are about to read is probably a bit weird, it's my attempt at making sense of the biological cycle of trolls.

Troll Biology for Wigglers

Trolls are a triploid species, with a triploid biological cycle. The mother grub (3n) releases eggs (n), if these are fertilised by combined troll slurry (they are absorbent, in the primitive times trolls probably had to jizz over them instead of using buckets), they hatch into trolls (2n). If they are not fertilised, however, a virgin mother grub (n) is born (along with all other kinds of lusii). 

A matriorb is made when a virgin mother grub eats a fertilised egg (2n) intact. At this point, the egg dissolves in the innards of the virgin mother grub and goes through a metamorphosis, into a matriorb (with the adding of the virgin mother grub’s gamete).

Queer theorisks also point out that the quadrant system which permits various concupiscent partners was probably a result of troll reproduction being based off of the mixing of a large quantity of a lot of trolls’ genetic material. This necessity to share that much genetic material and with so many people probably provided the necessity to have multiple partners.

The history of troll biology is incredibly obscure, as before meeting humanity, trolls didn’t see any value in preserving that kind of information or learning much about the past at all.

The Blood Colors: Chromochromosomes

The trolls and lusii, unlike humanity, don’t have sex chromosomes. Instead, they have chromochromosomes (on top of the 27 pairs of others).

Each troll has two chromochromosomes, one of them defines characteristics like blood saturation, horn shape and size, number of molts, height, etc. There is only one variety of this chromosome, appointed chromosome V.

The second one has twelve different varieties, all according to blood hue, psionics, and other hue specific attributes, it also potentially modifies characteristics like horn size or general height reached. These twelve chromosomes recieve the subsequent names: Α (alpha), Δ (delta), Λ (lambda), Π (pi), Ι (iota), Υ (upsilon), Τ (tau), Ν (nu), Κ (kappa), Σ (sigma), Μ (mu), Χ (chi). [Order from warmest to coolest on the hemospectrum].

Kankri and Karkat’s mutation is caused by a trisomy in the chromochromosomes, wherein they have both the Χ and A chromosomes. This would be extremely controversial to discover, seeing as that basically turns the hemospectrum from a line into a circle, and makes the hierarchy seem even more pointless than it was.

Although not portrayed in the graph, both the mother grub and trolls release two types of gametes: those that have chromosome V (gV) and those that have a chromochromosome (gC). If there is one there isn't the other.

Lusii are born only from the gC, trolls occur when a gC egg and a gV gamete meet or vice versa. The mother grub is the result of a fertilized egg (VC) combined with a virgin mother grub's gamete (gC).

ok so, the other day i was watching a drawfee episode and they did a challenge where they redrew each other's childhood art, so i redrew this comic of a friend of mine:

Oh my god, my hero academia amirite,

a little terezi design, i like her lankyness >:D

i'm quite proud of this actually,, i am far from having good art as a professional requirement, so i don't really practice anatomy and things

i really need to practice lighting though... (on realistic bodies lol)

i also never use references (because art is just a hobby for me, so i mainly do it just because), i think in this one you can't tell as much, but using refs would probably make my art much better in some ways already

idk, ill have to contemplate how much effort i want to put into posting here XD

Still with a bit of art block, but this, this has truly inspired me
