some thoughts under the cut vvvvvvv

ooh boy did I cut it a bit close with this one. I always post hermittober pieces every day at the same time and this one took me so long to figure out that I'm currently scheduling this post with only less than an hour to spare
anyway, I like how this one turned out, especially since I couldn't find any references, so I had to use my imagination a bit. that said tho, I did use a reference for the skull and I'm glad I did. should probably do that more
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
what if we had matching eyes that were "given" to us by the same person who has sacrificed himself for us multiple times in the past and we were cosplaying divorce

me: the art fight is 2 weeks away, can we please start working on it- my brain: grian autism creature me: what-
guess who procrastinated until the very last minute and had to sit and draw for about 26 hours? (with breaks ofc) ANYWAY, HERE'S MY ART FIGHT CARD
ever since I saw this post I wasn't able to get it out of my mind, so I present you with my experiment on this, specifically on the colours bleeding into each other, albeit not in the animation form also please keep in mind that I chose these two pretty much only for their colour potential
If the life series was animated I think a cool detail would be animating the green lives with smooth, clean lines. Yellow lives are slightly sketchy, their line distortion being more notable during fights or chaotic intentions. Then red lives are animated very loosely and messy, their lines are never “still”, there’s always a visual tension with them because they look one second away from falling apart
And when reds fight, their colors bleed into each other as well. They become a messy portrait of themselves. Still recognizable, to some degree, but no longer the put together image they once were. Literally
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
😀
ngl at this point I've forgotten what it feels like hunting down the winner POV (watched in the order of Impulse -> Etho -> Joel)
and yeah, I'm a bit sad that Impulse didn't win, BUT!!! still very happy for Joel! he was actually one of my 2 top picks for Secret Life phphph (the other one was Gem)
anyway, now I gotta think about the lore, the implications!!! especially what his celestial symbol might be
so I was looking through gem's name mc in search of her researcher skin
and I found this
so I present to you
grem
I'M SCREAMING-
was reading chapter 37 of When The Dawn Breaks made by @cedar-scented-soap (specifically Scar's part) when this came to my mind and refused to leave
ignore the fact that I clearly don't know what Scar and Fuzzy are supposed to look like (and that I clearly forgor to give Scar vex wings)
