Day 16 Done! I Didn't Feel Up To Drawing Any Of Scar's Many, Many Hats, So Instead I Gave Him The Floofiest

For an alt hermit, I went with season 9 skulk possessed Cub! Figuring out the skulk texture was fun. Sadly, my camera is not a fan of how reflective the graphite is, so the picture looks a little off

We should be fine as long as we do not reblog bread.

Day 14 done! One of my friends wanted a drawing of Lizzie, so I thought this lovely couple would be perfect for the group/collab prompt. Drawing this was so nice, I mimic the expressions as I draw and I was smiling the whole time. A note on the designs: they are both some kind of fairy with insect features. Joel is based on a dogbane beetle, while Lizzie is an orchid mantis!

Day 29 done! My weird headcanon for Skizz is that he isn't actually an angel or a regular avian, but rather in a sort of grey area between the two. He's an albatross, which is a bird with a lot of legends and superstitions surrounding it. Albatrosses have mistakenly been associated with burdens and bad luck (like in "Rime of the Ancient Mariner") However, they only symbolize misfortune to people who mistreat them. They're actually symbols of perseverance and guidance, as well as healing and protecting lost souls. This means that Skizz counts as a supernatural being, but it isn't really noticeable. He's got a good sense of direction and is remarkably good at telling when someone needs guidance, but other than the giant wings, he seems normal

(Thanks to anyone who read that whole thing! I warned y'all I was a literature major, rambling about bird symbolism was inevitable)

Day 5 done! I had to really fight my face blindness on this one, but I hope I was able to do her justice. I really need to start watching False, she seems like a lovely person and her base this season looks great

Day 27 done! Today is everyone's favorite knight, who I imagine as having griffon features. Since griffons (griffins? gryphons?), as well as lions and eagles, show up in many coats of arms, I thought it would be fitting for a knight. Plus, the idea of Wels having wings and a tail was too cool not to draw.

As a bonus, have a Zedaph for day 26! I'm especially happy with my design for him. He's a weresheep: the bigger the moon, the more sheep features he gets!

DC focuses way too much on Batman and Batman adjacent characters, to the point where I think it’s actually detrimental to the story.

One example is DC vs Vampires, where for six issues (half of the entire series), Hal Jordan was the primary antagonist we were following. Then at issue six he gets taken out weirdly easily (can writers please stop cutting off limbs so easily, bone is not a cardboard tube) and replaced with the completely new villain of Nightwing. At this point sure he’s a character that we’ve seen around, but there’s not that connection due to the whole build up with Hal. If they wanted Nightwing to be the big bad hidden in the shadows they still could have done that without getting rid of the character we were following the entire time. Then they go and make it so some vampires can defy Nightwing, but not Hal who canonically has the strongest will? Like they literally set it up for him to take out Nightwing and take his place, and they wouldn’t even have to make up a random alien blood plot point to make him immune to the usual vampire weaknesses. But instead the entire plot is reliant on the Batman characters despite it being DC vs Vampires. Plus they made Harley the linchpin because she’s toxic to them (despite them eating the Joker just fine), and plenty of other characters could easily be toxic, ie metamorpho, but they had to go with her because she’s gotta be put in everything like the rest of the Batman characters.

Day 7 done...kinda. Today was too busy to start a new drawing, but not too busy to finish up this sketch of NHO Bdubs! Being slowly consumed by the jungle is a great look, and I enjoyed translating all those vines to a more realistic look

Day 28 done! I couldn't decide which of the many friends of Hermitcraft I wanted to draw, so I just fit as many as I could into today's square. If it wasn't clear from the rest of this month's drawings, all of my hermit-a-day pieces are part of a big grid of 2 in x 2.5 in boxes. I figured having boxes ready to fill in, plus a small size that limited how much detail I could add, would make it easier to actually complete the whole month. And it worked!

Day 30 done! I don't really watch Doc, but wow is his skin fun to draw! The extremely impractical glasses are my favorite part of this design, they look like they're about to fall off at any moment
