Fanart For Subnatica

I posted these on reddit a while ago and I've gotten multiple messages asking if I had any other social media? Which I didn't at the time, but after years of not bothering to post my art I think that was the boost I needed to finally re-emerge from the rock I've been living under.

ANYWAY uhhhhhh I've drawn these guys so much since I posted this that they might look a little different when I eventually post my newer art of them. Mostly because I don't bother drawing the little crosses on their heads anymore besides on leshy because frankly the antennae are really funny. If anyone has any questions about my hcs or what I intend to do with the characters, my ask box is open and I don't have anything better to do than endlessly ramble about gods that 100% would rip my head off immediately if I ever encountered them!

SPEAKING OF WHICH, the reception I got for these on reddit was way more positive than I was expecting which I am immensely grateful for, but there was definitely some miscommunication about the afab shamura headcanon so I'm just gonna dump about that below the cut if you want to hear me ramble about my nonbinary-ness for a while:

OKAY SO it's canon that the bishops were feral little animals before they found their crowns, right? Leshy and Shamura both talk about it during their follower quests. Feral animals do not have a concept of gender, only biological sex, so if they ascended to sapient godhood they would suddenly have a grasp of gender. My hc is that Shamura was a female feral spider, ascended to godhood, lost their bio sex in the process as with all the other bishops, and was just like "you know what? I don't want to be anything. This is kinda swag actually" so they just became War and Grief and Cosmic Horror incarnate. I am fucking desperate for any relatable enby representation in the media I like, so I just want to clarify me saying they were female at some point just is me going "I am living vicariously through this character who shed their mortal flesh prison to be an eldritch spider war god devoid of any sex characteristics" and not "I'm one of those numerous people who for some reason lumps this canonically agender character in with a binary sex". Anyway thank you for reading this far, here's an unfinished voidpunk shamura from a pride flag color palette thing I did of the bishops:

Hey happy autism month. Yep. April is that month. Fun reminder to not use the puzzle piece, blue and don’t be dicks to people with autism.

Cotl ocs are so cringy. So anyway this is my cotl oc Canna. She’s a bat and I love her.

The amazing art was drawn by @konjkitkatty. Check em’ out, they do wonderful commissions and fun art too.

I finally got it. I’m at peace

That boyfriends webtoon just encapsulates so much I hate about a lot of modern lgbt media. It’s like the corporate non threatening art style for tumblr queers. Super sanitized and watered down representations of convenient gay tropes presented in a cutesy pastel infantilizing manner.

Not to say cute fun gay media is bad, it can be done very well! This kind of art is just so soulless. It literally feels like a pandering cash grab and the smol-otaku-potato urls are eating it all up without a second thought. It’s not a story, it’s a coffee shop au filled with shipping possibilities of omg do you like goth x prep or jock x nerd or etc. The characters literally don’t have names, it’s all about their tropes.

There’s so much of a focus on OMG ITS GAY AND CUTE XD there isn’t at all a thought of Hey? Is this actually a good story? What message is this telling? And no amount of Well the creator is a gay trans man!! can change a shit pandering story.

This is all just about the comic objectively (and a critique of similar media tbh) but there’s a ton of way more important things like the creator saying the n word. And also being a freak drawing p*rn of BTS. The artist writes gay men like a baby’s first yaoi comic and yet these people can’t seem to see how fetishistic it is lol

reblog for AUTISM!!!

Amazing. Wonderful.

colour practice with my favourite evil science lady >:3

To everyone who said that there was a difference between the bishops and Narinder. Not anymore.

That’s kinda gay (kiss me passionately)

Slowly getting back into water colors during college.
