Hermit-a-day May - Blog Posts

Day 1: Ethoslab

Good old Etho for Hermit-A-Day-May, was going to do more but I uhhh... kept watching Netflix and this may or may not have taken me all day because of that lolz

WELCOME TO HERMIT-A-DAY MAY 2025!

Another year, another Hermit-a-Day May! I'm so thrilled to be able to bring this event to you all for the third year in a row.

THE RULES: 1. Any type of fanwork is welcome so long as it features, or is otherwise inspired by, the Hermit of the day. 2. Tag #hermitaday to have your fanwork reblogged, or submit it directly to the blog (Please note that while we recognize the value of fanworks involving more mature themes, and they can certainly count toward challenge completion if you're keeping track for yourself, content on this blog will be kept "PG-13" so that all may enjoy.). 3. Fanworks for one Hermit posted after the day rolls over to another Hermit's day (per the US Central time zone) will be reblogged in one big queue in June. 4. Traced or stolen work is NOT welcome. If we discover you have posted traced or stolen work, you will be given one chance to delete it and apologize, or you will be blacklisted from the blog. AI-generated/assisted pieces are similarly unwelcome and will not be featured on the blog. 5. We are not interested in seeing captions or tags in which you disparage your art/skills, and will not be reblogging posts where this happens. We're all improving all the time. Be kind to yourselves. 6. Technically not a rule, but we strongly recommend adding alt text or description to all images. Click here to learn more about writing alt text - it's pretty easy!

WHY SHOULD I PARTICIPATE? To show love to every Hermit, from the most to least subscribed, from those who have been on the server from day one to those who only joined this season! And because challenges are fun! And because we are once again out here for a good cause: we're running another fundraiser for Gamers Outreach, featuring art incentives by nine amazing artists. Learn more about our incentives in these posts:

WHO’S RUNNING THIS? Hi! My name is Luna! You can use ze/hir, she/her, he/him, or ro/ros/roseself pronouns for me. My main blog is @as-if-unreal. Helping me out this year is the incredible Mod Sky ( @skyspersonalhell ), who uses any pronouns!

BONUS DAY PROMPTS EXPLAINED UNDER THE CUT

FAVORITE "ALT" HERMIT - May 4th HoTGuY and Poultry-Man. Helsknight and Evil Xisuma. Renbob and - look, you get the idea. This server is full of theater kids ready to toss on an alternate skin and play into a brand new character at the drop of a hat. Who's your favorite?

OUTFIT SWAP - May 9th What would Doc look like in Cleo's Life Series leotard? How would Cub fare in Wels's armor? What laundry day mishap could lead Mumbo's suit to lose its sleeves like Skizz's? Only hilarity can come from this...

GROUPS AND COLLABS - May 14th This month is all about one Hermit a day... but what we really love is when they interact with each other. What does your favorite duo or group of Hermits get up to together?

FAVORITE BUILD - May 18th The Hermits have put thousands of hours into their builds, from cozy starter bases to the sprawling halls of Deepfrost Citadel, from idyllic natural landscapes to machines the size of mountains. Which builds have inspired you?

TFC - May 23rd While he may no longer be with us physically, TFC left behind him a legacy of quiet care and good humor, and Hermitcraft would not have been the same without him.

FRIENDS OF HERMITCRAFT - May 28th There are plenty of shows, podcasts, competitions, other servers, and more woven into the internet ecosystem around Hermitcraft, and plenty more people involved in them. Today is for celebrating all of those who, while they may not be Hermits themselves, exist and entertain in proximity to them.

Day #13: A colorful Cub!!

And day 2 is the lovely Xisuma!!

A funny little dude counting his moneys and absolutely nothing out of the ordinary happening in the background ;D

(I was on an important trip this weekend but I will do a lil group piece on Wednesday with the people I missed)

DID SOMEONE SAY HERMIT A DAY MAY #1 ?!?!?

I did it was me hi :D @hermitadaymay

I have never drawn Etho and don't watch many of his vids but this was fun! he's so goofy :)

Hermit-A-Day, Day 16, Scar 🍒

Hermit-A-Day, Day 11, Cub 🧪

Hermit-A-Day, Day 10, Gem 🦌

First time trying to draw a city, Gem design based on my friend @quartz-eye's Morally Gone AU, super awesome, 100% recommend checking it out! ❤️

Hermit-A-Day, Day 8, Hypno 🌤️

Loosely inspired by my friend @goldthesongbird's hermitaday writing for Hypno, which you can find attached here. Go check em out, their writing is amazing! ❤️

Hermit-A-Day, Day 7, Bdubs ⏱️

Super quick sketch just so I didn't miss a day, work is kicking my ass. I'll have time again either tomorrow or the day after though to actually put effort it again and I'm so excited!

Hermit-A-Day, Day 6, Mumbo 🍷

I'm still really unwell and have a 12hr shift today, so, a Mumbo doodle is all I got in me to offer for now. I'll draw more of the tall drink of water another time.

Hermit-A-Day, Day 5, False ⚔️

Huge migraine and feeling really sick today, so no finished False :c her basic sketch and some mapping colours are done though!

I'll hopefully finish her tomorrow or in a few days. I'll still keep up with the rest of the hermits later, just, not today I feel so unwell.

Hermit-A-Day, Day 2, Grian 🦜

First time drawing Impy for Hermit-a-Day ⚙️

Normal.

The Upside Down.

Bro needs a therapist. (Ignore the purple tint-- it's got no relation to watchers at allllll-)

(also ignore how there's no back and the windows are just showing the background color)

Jevin! I don't really know him that much, so I did some research-- I saw a buncha cool Tumblr posts and I watched a vid of his.

I have come to the conclusion that Jevin is AWSOME!! Def gonna start watching him more often

Now to talk about the drawing: The skeleton ain't that great, but that's because I did this from memory and I have never taken a formal art or anatomy class and I didn't look up a reference lmao. (Also, ignore that I gave him the Elvis haircut-- I did not put effort into the hair, he just looked bald without it)

I feel like I did pretty well for accidentally making it slightly in perspective and for having never drawn a skeleton before.

Gotta love Joel's husband and Lizzie's wife!

Inspired off a convo they had about people referring to them as Joel's wife/ Lizzie's Husband and one of them stumbled and said Lizzie's wife or something. I watched that clip forever ago and I don't remember it anymore lol

This was me testing my colors, I normally just do line art w/ very few colors except from emphasize on a specific detail, but this is only colors. It's not my favorite, cause I was trying something I don't do often so I'm not too good at it, but Imma try this out more sometime.

This is technically my Cub day 11 art, but tbh I just drew old Minecraft vexes because I love them lmao

Did you know that the tallest moss species only gets to ~20 inches?

Very accurate

A small animation that took WAY longer than I thought it would lmao

Song by Tally Hall, it's called Banana Man

This may not seem like it should be for False, BUT it was her fans who wrote it in her video's comment section, so Imma count it (for myself at least).

Shoutout to yazidefirenze, jogailejurkonyte4746, eggggg12345, Leorrrrrrrr, and laurab.5791 for writing this dialogue in a comment section 4 years ago!

(bro I was trying to study her, cause I don't watch her that much, so I watched her most popular video, and these awesome people wrote a really cool story. I had no choice but to make this my day 5 lol)

Anybody remember when Grian was a guinea pig in season 6? Lol I drew this without looking at any references, so that's why his guinea pig isn't accurate.

I definitely like the first page better, it's more filled w/ life I think. Imma work on consistency and backgrounds in future artworks!

Might color and add better backgrounds later, but I'm done for today lol

Edit: Noooo, I had a layer hidden and it didn't show Permit Office Grian's speaking bubble :'(

(I have changed the image now)

I head canon Grian as having red eyes prior to being a watcher, because I think it's cool and that's my only justification lmao

I'll prob not do all of the days (I've already missed day one), but I'll do the ones I can when I have the time for them lol. I'm trying to increase my art skills in my weakest subjects, like this drawing of Grian is not me at my best, but it's me when I'm trying something I'm not well applied with lol. Imma try to do a lot of different art styles for each day that I do participate in, so I'm excited for that.

Grian my little blorbo

Hermit-A-Day May 12!! Pearlo!

Loved 5am Pearl in Double Life so I absolutely had to go with that version of her. Even included Tilly! <3 also gave her some blood >:)

I remember when Pearl was just a helper on Grian channel. She’s such a fantastic builder and I absolute just adore her organic builds. She’s done some pretty amazing stuff. <3

Hermit-A-Day May 6!! Mr Peace Love and Plants himself, Mumbo Jumbo!

I have never been good at drawing Mumbo. His moustache always messes me up, but after a whole page worth of sketches, I finally ended up with this. Had to include his greying hair and a little head sprout, hehe. I like to this that he works with red stone so much that it’s starting to tint his skin. Dusty patches of more red than pink. :)

Hermit-A-Day May 11! Cubfan135 :)

Honestly, I don’t know much about Cub, but it was fun to draw his vex wings, sculk patches, and glasses :). Infecting a whole server with skulk is iconic honestly. I love the way his hair turned out and that hand is just, *chefs kiss*.
