Sketch Dump: Gravity Falls Edition! This Is Like Three Years Worth Of Stuff So Apologies For The Quality

Art fight attack on my buddy Fantia--Skies!! I’m super proud of this and I hope you enjoy it, too; I had a lot of fun! <3

Alt versions under the cut!

Almost forgot to upload abjdfhgb belated Art Fight revenge and just general thank you for my buddy @kaleidoprismatic !! <3 Slowly working past my fear of backgrounds. :p

My buddy @mintytrash and I gave Bill a slight design change for the second half of @love-triangles-au involving a boa, and she came up with the absolutely genius idea of it taking on this solar eclipse kinda look when he's mad. I absolutely needed to draw it too it was so frikin cool!!

Worked on this in tandem with the other piece so here's a rare spike in activity for you; don't worry, it won't happen again! 😭

I've been thinking a lot about Euclydian biology lately, specifically in regards to pigmentation thanks to this awesome ask I got on a side blog, and wanted to illustrate some of the ideas I had. Super quick lazy sketches but hey, maybe some of you will dig this! Nerdy stuff under the cut, will make a bit more sense if you read the aforementioned post

Euclydians have a genetic predisposition towards a "resting" color (in Bill's case, yellow). The opposite of this state (full "flexing" of chromatophore-controlling muscles) is also predispositioned, which is what's seen in the threat display. This rapidly stimulates the individual's metabolism and gets their blood really pumping in preparation for conflict, but is also somewhat costly in terms of energy, so is typically only flashed rather than maintained as Bill does it

"Teeth-peeking" is the cute zoology term I came up with for when a Euclydian displays a couple teeth overtop their eye without fully switching into mouth-function, usually as a threat but sometimes a sort of stim when they're hungry

Communicative flashing ("Chromatic") has a few languages. The most primitive is Simplified Emotive which is a quick display of mood, while the most modern is Traditional Chromatic, wherein patterns of color serve as words. Words in Traditional Chromatic are not ciphers like they are in TBoB and there aren't always direct translations into English

There are a couple accepted ways for a naturally colorful Euclydian to signal an emotion or "syllable" that matches their color, typically either by a subtler change in value along the edges or by changing everything BUT the edges

It's probably worth noting that Chromatic of any variant is considered a secondary, uncommon language in modern Euclydian society. It's simply more efficient and easier for most to speak, though I think Simplified Emotive probably stems from the natural threat display and so it's more intuitive. It's not unheard of for someone's edges to flash "angry/surprised" (◼) for a second if you bump into them on the sidewalk

A memetic blush is a learned behaviour in which individuals appear to fluster by a reddish shift in color along the face, edges and vertices. This might just be something Bill (or hypothetically other Euclydians who come into contact with humans) does I'm not sure yet but it's cute so

Given the body needs to conserve more energy when fighting illness, it's not uncommon for chromatophore muscles to weaken or spasm in order to lessen metabolic strain, giving the individual a patchy look that often reveals the naturally white skin below the chromatophore layer

When rigor mortis occurs in a dead Euclydian, all the minute muscles in control of chromatophore dilation contract all at once, rendering the entire body white. Because of this, white is considered a bit of a grim color in Euclydian culture; you know emos are wearing all-white instead of all-black

Conversely, a perfect, non-tinted grey is a regal shade because it's seen as a sign of fitness and strength. Maintaining a neutral grey requires very precise control over one's chromatophores to get the balance right and hold it there

Euclydians are capable of training the muscles that control their chromatophores like any other, and as a result can change their resting color with enough discipline! They can also use this technique to give themselves markings. Haven't decided the cultural implications of this entirely, but I think the idea of someone training themselves to match their threat display so nobody can tell when they're angry, for example, is a cool idea. Possibilities!

Hiii it's very nice to see you back again! I hope you and you're sister are okay and happy, and if you aren't then I pray you guys will be soon 💕 also lovely lovely art as always hehe

Thank you so much, I hope so too! I appreciate your words of support a lot. Big e-hugs 🫶

Quick rendering practice that will never be finished lol. Inspired by my lovely mutual @charseraph‘s absolutely wonderful triangles; hypnotizing you into following them rn and beholding their beautiful crowns wawawawawa

Originally his surface was supposed to be a lot smoother but I kinda dug the hammered gold look so I went with it! My friends say he looks like an Emoji Movie render. Good.

Made another at the same time as the Smiling Friends one! I’d also like to make a Gravity Falls one and a Binding of Isaac one but they’re quite a bit of work so I’m gonna get all the stuff I’ve gotta do out of the way first. :D

This one’s double-sided! The back is identical but without the window for ✨ maximum immersion ✨ 

This is gonna be incomprehensible for like 9/10 people

Context under the cut

My sister has been begging me to draw over this meme for literally almost a year now and it was finally time.

I was laughing the entire time I still can't look at it I'm so borken in the brain

I think that at long last I’ve finalized my sona’s design! Phew, only took like eight years. God I’ve gained weight. :p Her Toyhouse is over here if that’s your scene! https://toyhou.se/896743.-sona-emily

But anyway, sorry for being inactive, I’m really just not much a social media person hahaha, hope you’re all doing well! <3

Oops forgot one
