not much progress today, having too much fun watching hermits charity event but here's a sketch of two twinks beefing imma finish tomorrow

"How did this even look before? You know, artistic license is a great thing, i get to pick now" #vsmp #VampiresSMP

Whenever human characters are at the castle they say "Some unnatural force has been rebuilding these walls!" and for a second you go ooo, spoopy, until your brain catches up and it's… it's minecraft, duh.

"How did this even look before? You know, artistic license is a great thing, i get to pick now" #vsmp #VampiresSMP

farthest from the truth really, atheists and slavic. they dont even speak english or understand much of a western culture so the nature of the beef eludes me entirely

i think there was! god, let me check... yep, there it is! There was a big lost light one in similar style

also kinda incredible how much science fiction and fantasy was everywhere in early post-soviet, all my friends parents had like a whole room filled with books, i remeber you could buyt a whole dragonlance series for like 20 bucks tops (provided you could drag them hardcovers home)

i was not allowed to read Harry Harrison books not because they were too horny(Anne Rice was fine to my parents lmao) but bc they were too silly. Glenn Cook was fine, Zelazny and Heinlein too, but my parents had some cosmic beef with Steel Rat series i still dont know reason of

i fear that social media serving endless streams of content on a plate robs that essential joy of accidental discovery born out of pure curiosity that shapes a human being. "Suggested based on your likes" is the devil

god i hope kids these days dig through plasts of culture before them like i did in my teens, i hope they have experiences like hearing Led Zeppelin for the first time, or watching an Errol Flynn movie, or reading a Somerset Moem novel. I hope kids 100 years from now do the same

why did i choose this angle out of my own volition, why did i think that doing sorta rococo style lighting would be funny, idk man, why cant my brain thirst for a chibi style or something

weekend plans: straight up castlevania type shi

Remember.
If you don't know which person in your friend group is possessed by an ancient and nameless cosmic horror brimming with unspeakable hungers and malice, it's probably you.

omg!! That's so hecking cool! I miss when s6 was a decent website to print art on everything, I have so much full print shirts with fandom stuff from there

nuh-uh, its youuuu! Casual reminder that I'm going through life with a tattoo with a quote from your book and I have never regretted doing it even for a second

Actually yeah, my old 2016 symbolic TF art slapped so hard, what a cool time to be in the fandom it was! Made so many lifelong friendships by rotating these fictional metal guys in my head

ahh, thank you! Yeah, I cant remember what kinda headspace I was in while draswing those, but they read to me like a sort of visual essay on characters and their themes, kinda fun to look back haha

right now I'm in a headspace of "idk doing art-deco symbolism kinda cringe" but i like my old slightly symbolic pieces and like looking at symbolic pieces from others!! actually wait, let's try making that geometry thing again, maybe it'll snap into place

Quote Post with an old piece that you still like!

This Prowl from 2016 and this 2018 Cisko were like, a generational serve

Final illustration based on session two finale, hoo boy, onto session 3! Wanted to make something that looks like a night vision cryptrid sighting v!Shelby would delight in despite the horros catching up to her.

"What do you believe in, Shelby?" "Everything. All of it. Until I'm proven otherwise."
#vsmp #VampiresSMP

apparently i woke up at night, checked news, banged out a sketch for the next illustration and went back to sleep, hyperfixation is the name of the game

"Animator's survival kit" by Richard Williams has been in the library of every gamedev studio i've worked in, it's a goldmine for anyone, not strictly animators - lots of insight on plasticity and translating emotion

no but like, that's the point! I was largely uninspired to do any art outside of work for years, and I am deeply grateful that MC content moved me enough to make art again. If i end up with an artbook's worth of mc-related artwork by the end of the year - hell yeah

A snippet of a Cleo, Drift, Shelby and Pearl on a trip in session 2, personally felt this moment in the soul, every trip I pick the creepiest historical location possible and have a splendid time. Print available here: www.inprnt.com/gallery/amal...

// "There's been sanity in this trip, and I appreciate that! I havent had the urge to stab any of you!" , delighted Cleo. And indeed, eerie crypts and mystic tomes are quite good for anyone with a modicum of taste. // #vsmp #VampiresSMP

ahhh, thank you Abby! Hope ya doing well! <3

oh yeah, audience never does what creators expect it to, though honestly i was trying to make a point that when the call is coming from inside the house and one starts to think these thoughts about their own work - about time to take a break

I've watched the house judging contest in session 2 from 14 different POVs and it's never not funny how absolutely nobody clocked Scott, in a scull, turning into bats and back again amidst the crowd. Peak chaotic cinema!

"Now, this house is 100% vampire proof!" Exclaimed Avid, to a thunderous applause and squeaks that very suspiciously sounded like a swarm of bats.
