Experience Tumblr Like Never Before
So... this may be 5 days late... but I have a reason! (The art corrupted twice + life got in the way.)
Flash warning, perhaps?? It's also. really bright.
Me when I forcibly mix the two -Tobers I'm doing. š (I wanted to do this for at least one of the prompts, but I seem to be running out! š„)
Jashtober day 29: Harmony! We're getting awfully close to the end...
Me when I wreck my ship.. š
Jashtober day 27! Night! I really like this one. :)
Jashtober day 26!!! Icarus is real, guys!
Jashtober day 25! And 13... I never did do that one, haha!
Me when I'm a mouse.
Me when I'm eating my landlord.
Me when my tober is jashing.
Alright, it's a while later than I was hoping to post it, but here it is. Same deal as the warmups, moving my art and commentary over from Twitter, because that site sucks ass <3
Day 1: Single. Didn't realize it meant like.. a music single until the day of, so it's pretty basic. Got a Mr Jash Like ā¢ļø though, so that was a strong start to the project.
Day 2, Astral. Space themed Soul drawing. Soul is the Stars in my hc (the way that Mind is the sun and Heart is the moon in canon), so I figured it would fit well enough.
Day 4, Light. Nothing to really say on this one. (skipped day 3 since it was a duplicate prompt, 'power hour')
Day 5, Angel. My best try at what the angel at the gates in Chonny's inferno looks like. Biblically accurate because it's just cooler. Meant to add a normal-ass clipboard in their hand for the funny, but I forgot.
Day 6, Forest. Dear god, the background on this one killed me. Took many layers and overuse of the blend tool. On another note Mr Jash liked the post on twitter and that, yet again, jumpscared me (This is a pattern /lh)
Day 7, Moss. The little mushrooms were my favorite part to do. Didn't know I would ever call fungi cute, but the little mushrooms were my favorite part to do. Proud of this one overall. And it got Jash liked as well, so! š
Day 8, Tidal. Jesus, did all my ship of theseus drawings do relatively bad in the algorithm. Anyways, this one was based on the fifth ship of theseus. Very pretty color pallete, cool colors.
Day 9, Cruisin'. This one was posted late because I couldn't get the shading right and just left it for the next day. Looks much better now.
Day 11, 8-bit. Dug out my old pixilart account to make this one. (Skipped day 10 because "apathy, haha funny". Also to help stave off burnout)
Day 12, Haiku. Heart coming up with his magnum opus (that line from Haiku/lh). This one's background took forever. Many different layers.
Day 13, Encore. Drew The Announcer, everyone's favorite eldritch horror story narrator. Props to GW for making me actually like Monster Mash, I don't even mind the original one now. Mr Jash liked this one too, so that's nice :]
Day 14, Reflection. Whole with a scribbled out face⦠cool design, and pretty visually interesting. Happy with this one. It also got jash liked.
Day 15, Momento. Had a hard time drafting this one before I realized "oh.. momento.. like.. momento mori.. I am very dumb". Regardless, very happy with this one. It's probably my favorite out of all the jashtober drawings I've done.
Day 17, Theseus. Based on the first Ship of Theseus song, a drawing of the shipmaker. (Skipped day 16 because it was another repeat prompt, Hindsight)
Day 18, Sunset. Based on the lines "When I woke it was daylight, and the clouds were pink / The sun was coming up or going down, I think" from Drink to Death.
Day 19, Savages. The crowd sure does love an upset.
Day 20, Crowned. Mind. Wanted to add a nightlight in the shape of the sun but the composition got too crowded, so I compromised with the lamp chain.
And, that's it! All 17 prompts I've done so far. I'll continue posting the rest of the Jashtober prompts one by one on here. Have a good day/night, and thank you for reading this far if you have!
Oh no! I've stopped the trend of putting lyrics in the art! š„
(I couldn't think of any lyrics...)
Jashtober day 20!!!! This is actually a redo of last year's Monarch drawing! I remember loving that one when I made it, so I decided to see how much I've improved since then with this. :)
vv Last year's drawing. vv
Jashtober day 19!! This is a bit lazy, but I wanted to go a bit harder on day 20 and still be on time!
I'm not late, you're late! (I've been really busy lately.)
There were NO reference images for the pose or the lighting! That's so crazy to me!
Jashtober days 16 & 17!! So proud of 17. (No, that is not the jash. š)

There's nothing quite like a dusty old console. The substantial feeling you get when putting a cartridge into the slot. The whirring that emanates from the system as you wait for it to boot up. Even when never experiencing one in childhood, it feels like a nostalgia machine. I get a giddy feeling when I sit down with a stack of these old games with me. All these possibilities. In many ways, modern innovations have brought much fluff. These games didnāt have such luxury. They had to be tight and straight forward. In many ways they feel like the past itself. It makes sense. The world was simpler and easier to navigate. Well thatās how it feels anyway, but I know thatās not true. As much as I want it to be true, that the world was less complex and more composed, it simply isn't. Have you ever tried to play the first Zelda or Metroid without a map or guide through. It's nigh impossible. The worldās intricacies and confusions have always been the only constant. Perhaps thatās for the best. At least the world isnāt getting worse, just different. Maybe even better.
How dare he. After all Iāve done for this vessel. He calls me a madman and dares to shoot at me in the same breath. I should kill him. I should strangle him on the spot. I can only wish I had nerves in these mechanical arms, so I could feel the warmth leave his neck⦠No, no. I must calm down. My absolution has no room for such emotions. If I kill him I have no idea what could happen. It could be killing us all for all I know. Even if we didnāt die on the spot, soul would never forgive me. Harmonia would never be impossible. If only heart had such foresight. Doesnāt matter. He missed completely. Not even close. Perhaps that fit of rage where I dislocated his eyes, wasnāt all bad. Luckily, Iāve had the perfect plan to quell this entropy, dissonance, and violence. Utter, holy, and just. Perfect apathy. My plan just needed a place to put heart and it looks like he dug a perfect little prison. A hole made for me. The irony is delicious. After that murder attempt, soul isnāt very happy with heart. Itās the perfect situation for me to make my move. I already see the throne and how wonderfully built for me it is. I hope he rots in that hole. I hope he feels the hate we all feel for him. He has kept us from perfection. A soul so complete and absolute. It only makes sense for a being made to make perfect, logical decisions to rule. I will stop this stalling, that demon has caused. He thinks of me as Hyde? Fine, Iāll give him hell. Iāll take control away and become the one in power. He has taken everything from me. My voice, my hands, the kingdom which is rightfully mine, and he still feels that is not enough and tries to take my life. I wonāt take his voice, I know itāll hurt him much more to know that no one is listening to his ridiculous songs. Iāll make him wish he was dead. Iāll make him wish he had turned that gun on himself. Iāll make him wish for the same apathy afforded to me and soul.
Maybe itāll be ok for now. The war feels fresh, but perhaps it never existed at all. Maybe it did exist, but it doesn't matter now. Iām alright. The world is composed. Everything around me makes sense. Exactly as it should. I wonder if Iām a new person after all this time. When I first played this song my context was completely different. The way I told the story was of a different style and experience. I find myself hesitating to even attempt it once more. If I am a new person, will even trying it feel wrong. If Iām not a new person, will it just be derivative slop? Why am I even attempting this? Wait, that's exactly what I need to remember. Why I am doing this. The world feels manageable and understandable. The horrors arenāt close and the stars are in grabbing distance. The world is just as it needs to be. I may be revisiting this, but I have new understanding to bring. And I may be changing the synth for jazz, but Iām not a completely new person just because some has changed. Whatever comes of this has come from me. Itāll be not perfect, but it will be mine.
The water pulls in and out...
That is how oceans work after all. Iām not going to regale you with an epic story told with far too verbose diction and a pension for self indulgent endings. What I will give you is a regalement of how to start your own life on the tides. Living upon a boat is not for the faint of heart. It takes sturdy legs, a strong stomach, and a touch of insanity in the brain. You have to learn to catch your own fish, because thereās no way in Davy Jones' locker, another member of the crew will share. Itās best not to start as a hothead. No matter how big you are and no matter how good of a fighter you are, there is always someone bigger and someone whoās a better fighter on your boat. Itās also best to ask a captain what their goal is in sailing before joining the ship. If they mention a whale, especially of the white variety, run. It seldom turns out well. Fishing boats are the safest bet, but they're also a dead boring choice and trust me lads, lasses, and lords, you don't wanna be boring. Now those hunting for some almost forgotten treasure are the perfect choice. Sure, there may or may not be the occasional mutiny, but danger is the spice of life. That's about it for living out on the seas. Oh wait, how could i forget. Invest in daggers. All right you scamps, get out there. I assure you itās much easier than it sounds (after about 43,830 hours).
