I hope you like it :D i actually started the sketch for this during the hermitaday challenge, but didn't rly have time to keep working on it during the challenge. As soon as i saw this request i knew i HAD to finally finish it :D

(close up + version w/o water effect thingy below!)

I decided to do a more painting like style for this, but for some fucking reason i also thought it would be a good idea not to use any blending tools or opacity stuff (excluding some final touches) and just... Do flat shading... While trying to pick everything from the colorwheel w/o like, mixing colors....

Did this exercise make me improve at using the digital color wheel? Yeah probably. But also this took wayyy too fucking long and i am never doing it this way again LMFAO

Guys guys u do understand comics means i probably will never finish it... Cause im slow af at drawing and i have adhd which makes me procrastinate n give up...

Just warning yall!

SUGGESTIONS R WELCOME

Since yall seem to like my other AUs/headcanons, I've decided to rant a bit about my 'main' one :3 (kept vague to avoid spoilers)

Small summary: (more indepth rant below)

it's a villan & hero hermitcraft / life series / empires au, focused on bad boys (at least during the first arc). Joel creates a bar as a cover for a fighting ring/information selling business, joined by pearl effo gem grian and jimmy. Grian refuses to participate in the criminal activities at first, but doesn't rat them out either. (inspired by his resisting the resistance thing in s9)

However, as u can probably guess, this doesn't last long and he slowly gets more n more involved, especially once random people mysteriously start getting "the red curse", which he recognizes from his past... (hehe watcher lore) Grian continues to pretend to stay uninvolved while trying to keep the Watchers at bay behind the scenes, even going as far as creating multiple alter egos / secret identities in order to hide his involvement.... (poultry man, cute guy, mother spore,...) Sadly, the Watchers think identity reveals are incredibly amusing and make it their mission to reveal Grians secrets... :)

Now, lil poll bc i wanna know yalls preference:

Im not a very experienced writer, so I can't guarantee the fics would be any good- while i def prefer comics, it would take a long ass time and I'm not sure whether its a good idea since i tend to loose interest in projects p fast wkdhakdj

Still debating what to name it, I think ill call it "Web of lies", "Wolau" for short LMFAO. Im not very good at naming things 😭 suggestions are welcome!!!

Some more background info:

Joel is a fairly new villain who has decided to start a business focused on fighting rings, selling information and just generally doing criminal stuff. (inspired by his secret fighting club in s10). He hires Gem and jimmy, two ex-vigilantes who became a bit more... Villainous. Their cover is a normal bar, which ofc means they also need normal employees who won't snitch. Jimmy suggests Grian toJoel, since he's a retired informant. He basically started out as an investigative journalist in another city, but got more n more involved with both villains and heroes (which is how he knows jimmy) before joining a cult (watcher lore watcher lore watcher lore-) and suddenly dissappearing.

Although he went missing a few years ago, they manage to track him down. He joins, but tells them he's not involved in the world of villains anymore and that he wants to stay out of everything (so hes basically working in the bar that they use as a cover as a 'normal' employee and turns a blind eye to anything criminal going on)

That's kind of the start of the story? Afterwards, Pearl, a villain who was Scott's (<-the previous biggest informant in the city) old co-worker, but got betrayed by him and is now plotting his murder, joins in. Later on etho joins, who is originally sent by the hermits as a spy (<- p big villain&vigilante alliance in the city) but ends up deciding to side w/ them. (BOAT BOYS BOAT BOYS BOAT BOYS-)

(pearl & Scott's conflict is ofc a double life ref and etho is a mycelium resistance ref, he also ends up finding out about some of grians secrets and helping him behind the scenes)

Although its focused on the members of the bar, later on it focuses more on other hermits (since they get more involved w/ the villain group "hermits" which most of the hermits are a part of) but there's also some side stories that focus on other ppl (there's a whole side story about Ren and Doc getting to know each other after Ren gets infected by the curse, or martyn whole listener thing & how it's connected to renchanting/ren getting cursed and the Watchers showing up in the first place... But i dont wanna spoil too much :3)

Oh also! Hermits r mainly criminals(vigilantes, villains, big salmom mafia,...) and Empires members r usually heroes! But there is some exceptions to this rule. (jimmy n martyn for example)

ANY KIND OF QUESTIONS OR SUGGESTIONS R WELCOME!!! might not be able to answer everything bc of spoilers, but ill def try to do some foreshadowing instead :3

i love your milksnake evil x a lot. snake hermits my beloved, its his colours, and he Would. however it is made funnier by the fact i headcanon tango as a coral snake hybrid (it is also His Colours). imagining them meeting now (ex is Definitely A Coral Yep ignore the different stripe order hes very dangerous)

Here u go!

Decided to do a sketchy animation for this one, i hope you like it :D it was a lot of fun to draw, I've really been enjoying animating these lil gifs! If you guys have any suggestions (especially if it could be turned into a lil gif 👁️👁️) my ask is open :3

❗Hermitcraft / Life series art requests open❗

HOW do you do the boooo boop

I can't tell whether u just figured it out on ur own or not, but as far as i know u have to spam the 'boop' button without actually booping.

So just clicking it rly fast but not clicking on the second button to boop ppl for a bit, after spamming for a bit u boop them and pray that it turns into the boooOOOoooo

Bc tumblr doesn't let u know when it succeeds n becomes a boo :(
