Binged The Lamplight AU On Ao3 In One Night And Now Coping The Only Way I Know How Creating My Own AU

Hermittober Day 22: Warmth

you know the drill vvvvvvv

Hermittober prompt list made by @collierose1

the eepiness was strong, but the innate desire to draw block yuri was stronger

I hope I succeeded in translating onto paper the warmth I wish I was feeling. it gets to like 7C here at night nowadays Q_Q

anyways, this one looks less refined than my usual stuff in a way, but I like it. hope you do too

me: the art fight is 2 weeks away, can we please start working on it- my brain: grian autism creature me: what-

Wild Life NameMC Spoilers Ahead

I'm losing my mind over here

okay, so I needed some references for something and went to namemc to look at Gem's skin

"Oh cool, she's matching hoodies with Pearl and Scott" I thought and almost went on my marry way

but then I decided to also check out Martyn's skin since I also kinda need references for him

"Huh" I thought, "maybe he switched to it during session 7? I haven't watched his POV so I've got no idea"

but then I looked at the time and date he used it

it was for the recording of session 8

fuelled by my curiosity I went on checking on other people, first of which was Pearl

my brain started coming up with angst scenarios (Pearl and Impulse are my winners POV pick lol)

but then I noticed that like 2 minutes later (if I saw it right) she was back to her red skin???

and she wasn't the only one, from which I remember people like Scott and Scar also went from gray to red

which brings me to my question

what in the hell is gonna be this session

🦐🦐

:0

THE SHRIMPER!!!! 🫵🦐🦐🦐🦐

I remember seeing you before on other blogs >:3

I wanna draw this so bad I wanna draw this so bad I wanna draw this SO DAMN BAD

"why don't you draw it then?" cause I'm working on a session 1 compilation animatic and quite frankly I'm running out of time

I sleep, work on it, take occasional breaks, go sleep and repeat all over again

also, I gotta say, going from Etho POV straight to Martyn POV is quite a whiplash (although I imagine it'd be much stronger the other way around)

like, team renwood mining session is chill, you know right away that they'll stick together, they talk about being old men, Martyn gives Ren a diamond unprompted (at least I don't remember Ren asking? either way it's very chill)

meanwhile there's the B.E.T. team. not only do Bdubs and Etho spend pretty much their whole time on the surface arguing like an old married couple (which also carries on to their mining session), but also their mining session is so wild. every time someone finds loot or, gods forbid, diamonds, they're on each other's THROATS. like, they're acting as if the SECOND there's back on surface they're gonna run off in separate directions

no hermittober for today (12th) or tomorrow (13th) cuz I have some stuff to take care of

hopefully after that will be able to continue normally tho 🫡

a new creature has appeared!!!!

still minecraft tho :P

version without ink dripping under the cut vvvvvvv

but first, my thoughts on Rat's video:

*clears throat* AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

anyway, about the actual piece

tbh I don't know much of her lore due to the fact that I've mostly watched csmp through Rat's videos, so I didn't know what creature to make her (most I've got is like, the wet cat allegations and moth association due to the moth lantern thingy from the end of aforementioned video)

so I decided to go off of what inklings remind me of, which is the warden. and the warden for me is associated with axolotls

so here you go! I've actually been working on another piece ever since I saw Rat's video (which I might as well call the real minecraft movie at this point lol), which was like a day after it got released. but it's been giving me so much trouble I think I might restart it again

found myself unable to draw anything with interesting storytelling or poses, so here's a Pearlo made for the sake of getting to render something

feels kinda refreshing going from watching wild life finale where I was pretty much rooting for a specific winner to mcc party where I was watching pink parrots with full faith they wouldn't make it to the dodgeball part, very relaxing

although I did start very much rooting for orange by the end there, but still, it was a lot of fun and very chill
