thinking about steven universe. however you may feel about that show, about the "su critical" backlash and the backlash to the backlash, about the scheduling bullshit, about how it handled certain characters and plot beats (politically or just narratively), one thing remains objectively true:

garnet was fucking awesome. character of all time.

Finally drew his transporter skin, its one of my faves I should've drawn it sooner

Hey hey I am infact alive and still into hermitcraft. 

I know this is super early, but I saw Shepscapades character design challenge (here!), which single-handedly raised me from the dead and got me drawing. So for week one (which I did two days ago), here is Hypno as a rogue :) 

Its nice to know my art is still circulating even when I haven't posted anything new in months. However, what the fuck is this

I'm sorry?

Your Daxter is adorable and in your style he looks like a cross between Varien from that Tangled show and Ollie from Shiloh 100/10

You are 100% right and I love you. Can I add though he looks a bit like chuckle from Rugrats.

If I had enough money dyeing my hair yellow to red would be the first thing I do, it looks so sick.

Reference sheet for Y. Just wanted to get the basics of xyr race and some different perspectives. Xe are also just fun to draw.

Some over explaining under the cut because I cannot shut up about these guys.

Since Y is based of insects, mostly ants, I kind of made xem segmented. One of the things about Xyr race is that the queen has something similar to telepathy, and when Y was part of the colony xe didn't have a lot of free will, instead relying on the queen to tell xem exactly what to do. So when xe break free from that and leave the home world, xe have a lot of issues figuring out how to function again.

The bottom left are just some examples of background characters or other people from Y’s world. Basically Y’s race has a lot of diversity between body shapes and how they style their hair etc, but they cant change their clothes or mark their skin since that's what marks them as from the queen. Y does this once xe leave the colony, since xe no longer have a connection to xyr queen, and cant be considered a member of the home planet anymore.

For Y’s race the only thing they can think of under the queens control is the queen and their assigned work, their whole life is dedicated to the survival of the colony. When Y eventually goes missing, the remaining people have their memory wiped so Y never existed in the first place, rather than lose productivity by grieving.  

Jak and Daxter fan art because I finally got Jak 3 and its dragged me head first back into it. Also I kind of mixed the Jak 2 and 3 outfits because I forgot to look up a proper reference. woops. 

Why is fwhip and pix just like that vampire x priest trope

Hermit Fightability Survey

Happy Boxing Day, Hermitblr! In the spirit of the season: square up. I want to know which Hermits you think you could take in a fight and why - for science, of course. Good luck, fair winds, and may the gifts of holiday cheer and unspeakable violence be with you all! >:]

Edit: DANGIT I forgot Tango the first time around, my boy is now available and fightable as is right and good

inviting hermitblr 2 the funeral. i’ll see u all there. be sure to bring tomatoes and various other throwable fruits!

OC time because I need to branch out a little. I also made xem a Minecraft skin because I like the monochrome brown and yellow. 

I need some name ideas, but for now, I’m going to call xem Y. Since xe are yellow.

Some info I thought up under the cut 

Y is part of a well-situated race. Far from human planets, they have evolved similar to insects, in a more humanoid form. They have segmented plates protecting against debris and attacks. Just like most bugs, inside all the plated armour is a squishy inside. Unlike bugs, instead of mandibles or an exterior mouth, Y’s faceplate lifts and reveals xyr mouth. To human standards, Y would be a female similar to worker ants. However, in Y’s society gender is a foreign concept, you are either a worker or a queen.

Most people who first meet Y find themselves careful around xyr presence. Like the rest of Y’s species, they are often compared to human porcelain dolls, especially due to their unmoving face. Unlike these dolls Y’s species is incredibly hardy and can be skilled with a weapon, there are horror stories of a faceless doll wiping out a whole human vessel. Y took the liberty of drawing on a mouth and eyebrows to try and appear less scary, but in xyr home planet, xe communicate emotions with body language alone.

Y was sent on a solo mission to explore and research neighbouring planets, however was knocked astray by a barrage of asteroids. After losing connection with xyr queen, Y was left completely alone for months until xe were found. Since xe had been gone for so long, xe decided to keep researching and travelling the cosmos in search of a new start with the crew that saved xem.

Anyway might mess around and make some more aliens because I love designing this kind of stuff. 

the onceler post makes me look at your url and question your math skills

I'm going to take this as a compliment and assume you are questioning just how good at math I am

not to brag, but I know how to multiply things by 3 :)

Psychic damage created hit post

Cub is certainly having A Time tm. 

I am not immune to centaur Doc.

Currently debating giving up my current project so I can draw a deranged Cub.

Friendship ended with Zedaph, Cub is my new favourite mad scientist <3

Taking a small break! I have a bit of a busy week with my family so I’m going to pace myself a bit. Should be back soon :)

I’ve been playing a lot of guitar lately so heres a Renbob enjoying himelf in a forest. 

Some small sketches I coloured while I figure out how to draw :)

I am fully convinced Bdubs swallowed an entire flashlight.

im half convinced that bdubs swallowed an entire flashlight and thats the only reason why his eyes are glowing

Zeldritch headcanon is still my favorite headcanon

>:0

Playing around with different styles using Zed. I think I’m going through a style change so I wanted to explore what I’m currently comfortable drawing. i definitely like the top middle style.

I cant be the only one who’s mind immediatly went to this. The latest episode was very unhinged.

I also put a deep fried version under the cut. I can’t decide which one I like better.

The text behind him says  “Don't you want to become a cult leader. Since the death of God there has been a vacancy open. You could fill that void”

Mumbo get some sleep challenge
