I headcanon that for around 20 minutes to an hour after using her quirk Himiko's hair takes on some of the color of the person she transforms into. The reason it doesn't change as much with Ochako is because of Himiko giving her blood to Ochako making her quirk view Ochako as part of herself to an extent.
What should they do in this creepy world?

Fleshing out Sxorr's character a little more, have some fun poses.
Extra character tidbits below
He's a fan of Metal Legion. Initially, he listened to them to annoy his mother, but grew to genuinely enjoy their music. It's edgy! He's also upset they disbanded.
He's obsessed with crystals. Jade technology fascinates him, and he is determined to obtain more for reverse engineering to understand what makes Canthan jade such a great magi-battery. He dreams of incorporating even a sliver of Aurene's brand into his cloaking body suit, which currently runs on a rudimentary prototype of his current crystal theorems.
His current stash of jade tech is small, having been acquired through less than legal means. Legitimate import fees and scarcity due to the Canthan jade energy crisis made it unaffordable with his current bank (that, and he's heard that human trade bureaucracy is somehow worse than the Colleges').
His mother, Xiintra, is a golemancer who supplies special golem units to Rata Sum's security forces- mainly the Arcane Eye. Militaristic, uptight, and loyal to the Arcane Council, she's everything Sxorr aspires not to be. Her relationship with her son is strained, and she makes it very clear that she views Sxorr's little 'rebellion' as an ugly mark on her otherwise flawless and upstanding records. Regardless, she tries to keep in contact with him, if only to get him back under control.
Sxorr is 19ish as of SoTO. He had been a student of the College of Synergetics before he decided to drop out during the events of the Icebrood Saga. The attack on Rata Sum shook him enough to reassess his life priorities, and he took the chance to bail when his mother was too preoccupied with combating the dragons to notice.
Pink is his favourite colour. He will fight you over it.

Since the manga didn't give me my glorious greatest hero in action..... I'll do it myself and I also have more on the way ☆
I don't really do backgrounds so this was very challenging and had to do a lot of back and forth 😭 had to pull out the ancient texts (spiderverse screenshots)
I have a speedpaint posted if you guys are interested ^^
@somerandomdudelmao updated and i had to get this out
ill make it better later considering i ran to my tablet to make this !!
my friends r so talented. rb if ur friends are talented
I recently had the pleasure of working with Mythical Sausage to create an animatic for his character’s backstory! It was so much fun getting to bring Eddie and the King and the others to life this way—Sausage was amazing to work with and I think we made something really special together!!
Some of my favourite details I got to add in:
- As Sausage grows up, the smithery becomes filled with the whole range of minecraft tools!
- In the animated version, Bubbles’ chest rises and falls while she sleeps :’)
- The figure in orange in the background of the first image is me!! My empiressona is canon! 😁 (…I really hope I escaped the Night of Great Purge 😳)
The link to the video will be in the reblogs since tumblr doesn’t like links. Oh, and to have it all in one place — I also created Sanctuary’s logo!
DHMIS Theory: The Six Symbols Represent the Episodes
i was thinking about these. and i wanted to see where exactly they appeared in this show and analyze what they looked like. and i started to notice some patterns.
the places i list them appearing are not the ONLY places they show up, but they are the ones relevant to this theory, because i noticed that some appear more often in some episodes than others.
EDITED AFTER LOOKING AT CONCEPT ART because i realized i had gotten some details wrong in jobs, death, and electricity. revised the symbols + added/revised description.
"Millefleur," a 78" x 68" wholecloth quilt by Jan Hutchinson of Newton, KS. Longarm quilted.
"Wholecloth" in this case means that she started with one piece of mottled teal fabric and all color and definition in the finished piece comes from thread quilted atop.
Seen at the Pacific International Quilt Festival yesterday
here’s my full piece from the girlfriend effect zine! im really happy with how it turned out ! i really enjoy mixing both hand drawn and photographed elements into the same piece
please check the zine out here ! all the artwork is incredible and it’s been such a pleasure to work with everyone !
Waw so beautiful, funny turtles doing funny things
Some tmnt 2k12 drawings because I have nothing else to do :)
Ok I found a thing! You can drag the lil pencil button that allows you make a post a it makes a RAINBOW!! Huh? That's so cool 😍😍
out of curiosity, why do you like sturgeons so much?
A chance to info dump about my favorite fish…?!
I grew up in the Great Lakes area of North America, where fishing is pretty popular but everyone knows that fish populations aren’t anything like “the good old days” when people took out huge numbers of fish while messing up their spawning sites. I got pretty into fishing when I found out that I could catch bluegill in the surrounding farm ponds, and once in a while my family took me to an isolated fishing cabin for vacation, but for years I never encountered a wild fish bigger than a kilogram or two.
BUT THEN…
I found out about sturgeon! They were HUGE fish that had once lived in the rivers and lakes all around my home, and better yet, fish almost exactly like modern sturgeon had existed all the way back in the Cretaceous period alongside the dinosaurs, and they STILL EXIST TODAY!!! The fact that small numbers of these huge dinosaur fish still existed made them seem almost like a real-life lake monster/cryptid, except that we had proof of their existence!
Furthermore, there’s just nothing else like them. Sturgeon get big. Like, REALLY big. The record for the largest sturgeon was almost 11 meters/24 feet long, which is colossal for freshwater animals. They have armor plates of bone running down their sides, and at the same time they don’t have bony skeletons. They also have a crazy mouth structure, which allows them to actually pop their jaws out like a tube and suck up food. And on top of all of this, the adults are absolute tanks. I’ve seen skin nearly 8mm thick, and it’s so tough that people make leather out of it, and they occasionally lose fins or even entire gill plates and just keep on swimming! (I found out about that last one when I tried to wrestle a big female out of a river and my hand went straight into her gills. She didn’t seem that bothered by it!)
For a long time I filed sturgeon along with Alligator Gar, Giant Mekong catfish, and Yangtze paddlefish as a semi-legendary fish that may still exist, but I was never going to see except possibly in an aquarium, until I enrolled in graduate school. For those unfamiliar with grad school in the US, it typically involves both high-level classes as well as an independent research project the student designs and carries out with help from an experienced professor. When my mentor asked what kind of thing I wanted to study, I tossed out “sturgeon” as one such possibility, expecting to hear that I would probably have to limit myself to more common/accessible species.
I was blown away when she said “Actually, I think I know a guy…”
For the next several years, I got to ride along collecting wild adult sturgeon, gathering eggs, and raising the baby fish in a lab and in a hatchery. I was holding something that I had thought of as a semi-mythical lake/river monster in my own hands! I got to see a river choked with giants as big as 2 meters long, and I got to hold a 5-centimeters mottled baby whose armored scutes were still sharp and possessed the little arrowhead shape and big black pectoral fins that remind me of Mickey Mouse ears! In the video below you can even see a little heartbeat! (Don’t worry, this little guy was returned to the tank soon after to recover from his anesthesia!)
Sadly, I didn’t find anything super groundbreaking in my research, but my experience DID land me a job working in sturgeon aquaculture! If you’ve ever had caviar that wasn’t poached, it probably came from a sturgeon farm, and if you want to see a lot of big fish up close, this is a good place to do it! I probably personally handled more individual sturgeon than there are wild fish in several sturgeon species. In addition, while the wild broodstock I mentioned above might reach 2 meters and over 50kg, the sturgeon I dealt with at the farm would easily double that, and there were a LOT of them! I got to see sturgeon behavior that had never been recorded in field guides, and even a few crazy one-in-a-million mutations like the infamous “ghost” sturgeon!
I even got the opportunity to cook my own sturgeon meat (Yeah, I basically turned into the Touden siblings from Dungeon Meshi except for sturgeon instead of RPG monsters). I got pretty good at making smoked sturgeon, but the meat is also good on the grill or baked, and people have been cooking them in various ways for centuries.
My favorite part of the job was physically wrestling the big fish! Sturgeon are easier to grab than other fish with the right know-how, but a human-sized fish often has its own plans for the day and won’t always cooperate. I was pretty good at moving the adults by the time I left that job, but it was still a wild rodeo every time!
Even more exciting was how we spawned each new generation of sturgeon. In the wild, they form massive spawning runs in big rivers that in the past would be enough to tip small boats, but in a lab or farm we have to use other means. I’ll spare you the details, but I am one of a small number of people who have surgically extracted eggs from a live sturgeon and sutured them back up to swim another day.
The tldr of this essay is that sturgeon are a big, crazy-unique fish that have been around a long time, and I’ve spent a lot of my career handling and working with them. There’s just nothing like them for a fish nerd and they’re damn cool!

THIS IS SO GOOOOOOD!!!
Luck Runs Out but ANIMATED! It's finally doneeee

OH MY AHDHR FUCKIN GOD!! THE BOOP MACHINE CHANGES ITS BLOOMIN COLOUR!???
I THOUGH I WAS GOING INSANE WHEN IT WENT GREEN AND NOW ITS ORANGE!? LILA PUMPKIN!??!
AMAZING
🔥 SAPNAP START SCREEN: THE PROCESS 🔥
Here’s all the shots not included in the final!
Some were scrapped, either because the animation was too complicated (like dancing 😭💀) or I couldn’t find a way to make it transition smoother into the next.
Some were changed like the pokeball throw, jettnap, and skateboard into a more dynamic shot!
My favorite scenes were the ASL intro, the punch scene, and the knife tricks! The very first rough was posted on my twitter!
Everything was drawn on Procreate! Lots of canvases and back ups, only 25 scenes were used in the final! I got permission to stream my process on twitch to help stay productive!
300 hours of drawing and 480 frames later, I imported my Procreate files into Procreate Dreams and it is a mess 😭 idk how to edit and composite, there’s groups in groups in groups 😭😭
it’s been stressful lmao I felt guilty for not updating him enough on my process, felt paranoid that I was gonna be replaced with another artist, and felt cringe at the way I would message him (too formal! 💀) I also felt I would be bothering him if I made fanart and tagging him for it, so I haven’t made much Sapnap fanart either! 😭😭😭😭😭😭
I’M SO HAPPY IT’S OUT AND PUBLIC AND SEEING THE REACTIONS LIVE IS SO COOL!!
Thank you so much for this opportunity to make something awesome! Thanks for the amazing support and putting up with me! 🔥
