Random penaconey sketches!

(these sketches have totally opposite vibes lol)

can't read all of this yet cause I've only gotten one of the endings

I already got that the watcher was probably a kid from the toy room ending, but this made me realize spinning top was a child too noooooo😭😭

I dont wanna be bawling about this ending a second timeee

The Abandoned Children of The Watcher DLC (a ramble)

(Spoilers ahead, obviously, but this is just a quiet sort of pondering I've been having with myself, feeling an ache so profound where the child in me - lost and afraid and so, so cold - resides.)

I love the thematic change that the Watcher DLC presents us with. I know it's been a point of complaint for many, and to each their own, but I can't help but feel that throwing aside these painful, heartfelt themes, writing them off as rushed design is doing the beauty of the tale that we've been given a disservice.

Rain World - the base game - felt primal. You are an animal, wandering the world - eating, fighting, running and dying, thinking and moving like a rat in a maze, the maze being a god you could never truly hope to understand. And why would you? You have a family to find, and even they are soon forgotten in the pressure of the cycle, drowned out by the rain and the echoing, burning call of the Void.

The Downpour DLC was much more narrative-driven. It was character-based and iterator-focused, putting emphasis on these dying gods that feel less like gods and more like abandoned children, growing in their lonesome and their bitterness, losing themselves in their self-destructive tendencies until there's nothing left but metal slag and somewhat-organic rubble. That seems to be a repeated theme, here.

The Watcher DLC feels much more... personal.

A tale of two children, abandoned, never made to grow up. The Watcher themselves, so plagued by naiveté, busying themselves with toys instead of confronting what the little lost echo tried to tell them.

Spinning Top searching endlessly with a tragic sort of fervor for any evidence that anyone ever missed them, never having been taught the weight of what they were supposed to do, only doing what others did, what they were taught was right, and nothing more. A child, a little girl playing with spinning tops and plushies, made to ascend through that "white door" and leave the reality that they had just barely begun to set foot in behind.

The Prince, even, simply… learning. Growing. A toddler, smashing and breaking and rotting all in its path with delight, seeing what he's doing as something so wonderful. The tragic part about it is that he truly does - for all that he represents, he means well, but the Cycle is callous and omnipotent and cares not for the wishes of a mere child.

A cold, golden hand, marked with an X and sprouting flowers from its palm.

An endless repeating pattern that will consume you utterly if it so wishes.

my two fav things in one character, gorgeous men and weird religious references

After not vibing with its mechanics at all back then when the game came out, I finally finished Rain World! and I loved it!! a lot!!!

(by "finished" I mean I played Survivor + Monk in that order, I'm still making my way through the other campaigns)

Ancient people in the mural and slugcat.

It's interesting to imagine the size of the Slugcat with the ancients during their lifetime.

"I do love my immortal ocs!" i say as i traumatize them even more

(im not dead i was on vacation and didn't have much time to draw :`) )

Jellyfish, Expedition, The Rot, Echoes and Gourmand

This face was made for a more cartony artstyle! haha... I did not do him and his shit eating grin justice lmao

I just watched episode 8 and had to draw something process at the shit that happend omgg

I was having such a hard time translating hazbin's cartoony artstyle into my more realistic one. I considered just drawing him in a cartoony style but im not a cartoonist i suck at darwing cartoons. I figured it would look less shit if i just stuck to my usual style (,:

omg he opened the ask box...

also HIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII, I'm so so obsessed with your rendering style and use of vibrant colors, it's so so awesome and cool and awesome

WOW, thank you so so much :D

I take you calling my art "like painting on stained glass" as the biggest compliment ever btw😭❤️

I've never really had someone compliment my art in my asks so I don't really know what to say but thank you
