How Did Kaput And Zösky Confessed Their Feelings For Each Other And Who Confessed First?

If I lay here ... would you lie with me and just forget the world?

I was sad one night and wanted to watch something fun and colorful, so I tried Fionna and Cake and really liked it! Adopting Prismo as my surrogate blorbo he is such a pal (everyone's pal, for that matter)

I've been enjoying getting to explore some new fics, which is what this was inspired by (primarily this one), and then it went kinda off-the-rails and got experimental hahaha but that's okay, I was having fun!

Apologies for inactivity! Been drifting from social media haha. Here are my favorite kiddos in celebration of my new display tablet!

Did something weird and experimental with the line colors. Not entirely sure how to recreate it but I dig it! It’s like implied subsurface scattering :p

[Please zoom in, there's a lot of detail! And a massive file size...ouch]

Hi guys, long time no post! Been working on Art Fight and life stuff, but I've got something kinda fun for you.

This is a compilation exploring how a mortal Bill may interact with our world if there were still some kinda Euclidean instincts buried in there. Y'know, before the Book of Bill ruins all my headcanons >:P (EDIT: IT HAS BEEN READ. YAHOOOOOO)

Also quite an experimental piece as you can probably tell. Lots of details on both said headcanons and the art stuff under the cut, but I invite you to study the colorful texture yourself beforehand and think about what it might be representative of, just for fun because I got some really cool answers from my friends when asked :]c

TL;DR: the headcanon is that Euclideans have exceptional eyes for geometry. They find things like symmetry, tessellating patterns, graphs and fractals very aesthetically pleasing. If pushed into our 3D world, they feel comforted by the familiarity flat objects/spaces bring, as well as high-contrast patterns. Shadows especially are a familiar dimensional reduction that may bring them much comfort.

Bill would surely not be happy about these inclinations, constant reminders of a past long gone, but I'm not sure he's even aware of them here :P I think his ego gets in the way to the point where he just views these interests as common sense, which, of course, us lame humans just don't understand because we aren't nearly as cool as him. Of course he likes perfectly symmetrical leaves and staring at the kitchen floor, it's called taste, look it up!

And yet, he can't seem to shake the strange sense of melancholy he gets from viewing his own shadow.

~ End of TL;DR, long version below! ~

🔺 Headcanon Development

So, the catalyst of this idea was in relation to my friend and I's AU ( @love-triangles-au ). TL;DR, Bill's brought back mortal, meets another triangle named Y.V. (it's his hand holding the paper in the piece, actually), at some point they fall in yaois together, you know how it is. And, in writing a pair of triangles (or, more broadly, writing from the perspective of a different species), something I've had to consider was that you really can't get much further removed from a human being than sentient geometry.

The anatomical aspect was mostly figured out (see my piece on Bill's eye-mouth), but I wanted to consider what psychological differences might be at play. I wanted them to be weirder, more alien, double-so for Bill. At first I explored these possibilities through the lens of Bill and Y.V.'s relationship, specifically the question "what might a triangle find appealing about another triangle?"

Well, really the only things that came to mind were straight lines and symmetry, anything related to the geometric form of such a creature. That's more-or-less where that ended until the thought struck me that there's no reason this aesthetic appreciation couldn't extend to the rest of the environment, and then further when I realized, "wait, this is a species that is designed to live in a 2D environment. Like, they should seriously be really weird. I need to push this like 200% more."

So...yeah! I did some thinking and brainstorming with others and came up with a pretty long list of things a Euclidean in our world may be inclined to enjoy or find some level of comfort in. It's worth noting again that in this piece specifically this is a mortal/powerless Bill, so he can't really escape this Earthly environment. IF he's aware of these instincts at all (and that's a big "if"; when have you last been cognizant of your own instincts let alone known where they were stemming from?) I think he'd have snuffed them out in immortality and/or purposefully gone against them; he doesn't take kindly to being told what to do.

In order from left-to-right, top-to-bottom, here's an explanation for each!:

Flat objects such as paper are something he may find particularly engaging. It's basically 2D!

Tessellations are especially fascinating, and our world has them everywhere in the form of tile floors. Symmetry and such a predictable pattern...as the infinity of the starry sky might for us, the infinite potential of tessellations might invoke a similar sense of awe in him. Add on the maximum contrast of black on white kitchen tiles and the forms are only even better defined! A sensitivity to contrast would be very helpful for a 2D being navigating their environment.

Fields are flat and open, much like Euclydia itself. Laying flat may make him feel a little more at home.

More tessellation in the honeycomb of hymenopterans (bees, wasps and friends)! It helps that pain is hilarious.

The city is an absolute treasure trove. Rectangular buildings, precise architecture, square sidewalks and straight lines abound...he may as well be looking at a rainbow or an art gallery! I think a Euclidean's brain is very fine-tuned to mathematics, especially in regards to trigonometry. What may appear to be a straight painting might appear obnoxiously crooked to him.

Zebras are high-contrast :]

Another flat surface, another relaxing space <3

I think graphs are about as high as high art gets to most Euclideans.

I've touched on shadows before, and for good reason; truly they must be something borderline magical to the Euclidean and perhaps bitterly nostalgic.

This one kinda speaks for itself. Dweeb.

🎨 The Artsy Stuff

Lately I've been trying to find ways to fit more color into my work, as color is perhaps one of my favorite things in the world. My wardrobe is rather garish; my dad jokes that you could see me from space. My fursona is obnoxiously bright for a reason -- I feel my soul is a very colorful one!

I also realized recently that I don't actually know the exact style that speaks to me. I could talk about the phenomenon of the "style crisis" that many artists have all day, but in my mind the best cure for this feeling is to go against it entirely and begin stealing as much as possible.

So, I've tried to keep an eye out for more sources of inspiration everywhere I go, physical and digital. I've tried to train my mind into making a habit of considering, "can I do anything with this?" everywhere I go, and it recently paid off!

The glittery rainbowy texture you see plastered all over Billiam is this one, a photo-manipulated set of fruit stickers. I must confess I've been obsessed with this image for the past 72 hours, and this seemed like a good excuse to try it out!

I worried throughout the process if it might be so abstract that it loops back around to being horribly deliberate, if that makes sense -- like each sparkle was not a piece of a whole but rather an object in itself -- but it seems like that hasn't been a problem, so I'm grateful for that :Dc

I hope it can dazzle and delight you as it does me, but as long as you find it fascinating at the very least then I consider it a success! I really enjoyed hearing my friends' interpretations while workshopping it, and got tons of amazing answers from opal to kaleidoscope to fossilized bone marrow! I truly believe that the best art has some room for interpretation and it really excites me to be surrounded by that kind of creative energy that follows said pieces. That definitely adds to my pride in this work. It's weird, it's colorful, it's detailed and yet ambiguous. I'm feeling pretty autistic about it

Alright, I think that's about it. Thanks for listening!

F2U Complex Anthro/Animal Generators

Anthro Generator

Animal Generator

Insect Generator

It’s recommended that you read more about it here https://www.deviantart.com/canischiroptera/journal/F2U-Complex-Animal-Anthro-Generators-824271401 ! Lots of explanations, tips and tricks!

Heya, guys!   So, I’m a picky nerd who loves me a good generator. I wasn’t satisfied with existing animal generators, most of them being very non-specific (i.e., “parrot”, “bat”, “mouse”…boring!), and so I figured I’d create my own!  After garnering an initial list of animals, I decided to take it a step further – let’s add occupations, personality traits, nationalities, and a bunch more to make a more extensive generator for creating a basis for interesting characters!   I’ve compiled what I believe to be the most extensive anthro/animal generators on the internet. We’re talking every mammal, bird, fish, reptile, and amphibian on Earth, 5MB of text, takes like a full minute to scroll through the source code at top speed! Countless personality traits, original attributes, body types, and so, so much more await in this puppy.

Feel free to use however you want. Mix and match aspects, ignore parts, add parts, whatever. Please, enjoy! I hope you find this as inspiring and helpful as I have in such a short time.  If you have any questions or suggestions, lemme know! Thinking of maybe adding color palettes in the future, though frankly it’s real hard to edit this thing, lol  This wouldn’t have been possible without thewebsiteofeverything.com/ , Wikipedia, and countless other sources that I ruefully didn’t record. All credit goes to them, I simply compiled everything together to inspire myself and fellow artists. <3

Art fight attack on my buddy Fantia--Skies!! I’m super proud of this and I hope you enjoy it, too; I had a lot of fun! <3

Alt versions under the cut!

Untitled, Feb 24th

Quick rendering practice that will never be finished lol. Inspired by my lovely mutual @charseraph‘s absolutely wonderful triangles; hypnotizing you into following them rn and beholding their beautiful crowns wawawawawa

Originally his surface was supposed to be a lot smoother but I kinda dug the hammered gold look so I went with it! My friends say he looks like an Emoji Movie render. Good.

Sketch dump: Gravity Falls edition! This is like three years worth of stuff so apologies for the quality lmfao. Lots of mixed stuff here: angst, fluff, memes, something for everyone! And of course dressing up Mabel my sweet darling child I love her

I get the feeling someone’s already done the finishing each other’s sentences bit but I was not aware at the time so apologies! x’D

Here little fellas come and get it [throws memes from bucket like a farmer feeding their pigs]

@p-o-3 is responsible for the moist-eyed pink creature and several of my friends are responsible for Charlie’s red-eye. In short, my eyes have been influenced heavily. Enjoy the Humor Content

Fantober day 1: Holding hands

Doing @demico-art‘s Fantober prompt list this year! I really love this list and I feel like having all the pieces blorbo-focused will help kick-start my motivation.

Today’s been wild! My snake’s tank broke and I’m home alone all week so that was a whole process lol. She’s got a swanky new one though and I think she’ll like this one more than the old one! Grateful I was able to get this done in time.

This piece is based off a cute sketch I made on my phone while on a hike lol. Let him feel tall

Secret Santa for my buddy Gin! The ring around their nose is an essential aspect of their character and so I wanted to mirror it in the ring of the eclipse. <3

Happy New Year!
