No Hermittober Today, Too Busy Watching Wild Life

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

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 🫡

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

new blog appearance woohoo

Hermittober Day 4: Woods

version without blood and ramblings under the cut vvvvvvv

Hermittober prompt list made by @collierose1 speaking of which WHERE WERE YOU WHEN I WAS SEARCHING FOR HERMIT OCTOBER PROMPTS /nm /lh /j

since I found it only now I'll have some catching up to do maybe I'll post the previous 3 prompts once I'm done with the whole list, who knows

anyway, now about the actual piece. not gonna lie, I thought it would take me much longer, but it only took about 6 hours at most (with me getting distracted occasionally), which makes me rather positive that I'll be able to see this prompt list at least halfway through. either way, I really like how this one turned out, especially my attempt at introducing more shades with the bluer parts. AND I'd even say that the background turned out decent, which feels rather new since I don't really do those usually. here's hoping the rest of Hermittober goes as well

Hermittober Day 8: Mist

some thoughts under the cut vvvvvvv

Hermittober prompt list made by @collierose1

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

Hermittober Day 9: Moon

moon big, but some thoughts under the cut aren't vvvvvvv

Hermittober prompt list made by @collierose1

honestly, not what I had in mind initially, but I like it anyway. I should probably start planning those ahead tho, especially looking at some of the prompts

oh well, I already have an idea for the next one, but boy will it be a tough one...

hello there! let me introduce you to the AU I'm planning on posting here! the name is "Something Is In The Water" or "siitw" for short it's a Gem-centric Hermitcraft (but really I think of it more as a MCYT) AU with the intended genre being horror as for the format, I'm planning on posting it in what I call EvoAU (by @solargeist) style, meaning that for the most part I hope to answer asks and post tidbits, but I am also planning on making sort of comic chapters (not a proper comic tho)

the premise of the story is as follows: One day Gem, who is rumoured to be the infamous pirate terrorizing many seas, arrives to a town where people call themselves hermits under the guise of just moving there, but the goal of her visit is to study the local water and its effects on the locals. For you see, there have been reports of memory issues and in some cases strange mutations, all threads leading to one source: the ocean.

and here's the piece I made to with this post! it was supposed to be just the cover for the playlist I made for this AU, but oh well

I do have a warning tho! this AU includes hermitshipping (gempearl), so engage with it at your own discretion

not feeling great, so have a wild life Gem doodle

the BAMs got their designs, so others will too

also as for the animatic stuff, I moved the deadline to "we'll see how long it takes" cuz it turns out I made a grave error in my calculations, so the previous schedule was literally impossible to pull off

an overcast morning

thoughts below the cut vvvvvvv

ngl I just took my glasses off and kinda went wild with it lol

I think the biggest challenge was the background, fully blurry it just looked out of place, but when I tried adding raindrops they turned out to be too much

I like how this turned out and it was quite a lot of fun to make :D (probably not gonna use this technique often tho)

also if you want bonus experience, here's the track I was listening to while making it :3
