I don't usually talk about Exorcise The Gods on my blog because it's still in the early stages, but I'll probably start to talk about it and the characters more often now as I'm getting more confident with the plan!

I really want to share this story some day, even if nobody's interested. It's something I've been working on for five years now, I don't know if I'll wait to post it as a comic or just post the written chapters and make a comic. Whatever I do, I just want to get it out there eventually.

Anyway I just started planning Chapter 23, which is what prompted this... it's a little spontaneous. Have some sketches of the main character.

Been awhile <3

Have some detective husbands that I made for dnd!

I tried to make the poses look good together :)

Working on my novel and couldn’t figure out why it felt so empty. I didn’t have any filler. It was all 100% plot. The characters only interacted when necessary. I didn’t prattle on about the scenery or how the birds sounded. I had all my fuller stuff that I loved saved in another file because I “didn’t need it”.

Y’all, I knew this existed in TV shows but it didn’t hit me until this that everything is being whittled down. We are so starving for filler that we snap up anything. I unload all mine on Tumblr or keep it in a massive Google Docs. It SUCKS.

Honestly? Death to plot necessity. Revive filler. Revive unnecessary interactions. Revive just vibing with characters sometimes. I don’t want to just consume the plot and I don’t want to just create the plot either.

Ever completely redesigned a character and their personality because you had a sort of crisis over the fact that they, as the main character, felt as though they had no impact on the story?

Well that's what I did! :D

The new Jaxon Finch everybody. Still working on it.

If you don’t know your score, take the test here

Doodles of Ocs and some TV/Video Game characters

Not super proud of some of these but eh. Whatever.

Anyway I'm drawing more sketches of the lamb which brought me back to this. I'm thinking of getting the Heretic Edition and maybe the sin pack, is it worth it?

I've had an interest in the game for a while now but never got it. My friend is getting me a youtooz plushy of the lamb for my birthday and it kinda pushed me over the edge lmao, also the OST is really good and I've started reading some fanfiction too so

Praise The Lamb 🐑

Anyway, guess who's planning on getting Cult of The Lamb for themselves as a birthday gift this April so they decided to do some sketches of The Lamb while in school?

This guy! :D

Can you spot the point where I started using references?

I think I might make a separate blog for fandom stuff or one for OC stuff, idek

I'm trying to get better at drawing digitigrade legs and if I'm using it as an exuse to draw Cult of The Lamb? That's for me to know and you to suspect, shhh :)

this is Hellsite Detective, P.P.I. announcin’ that TUMBLR LIVE IS GONE FROM MY APP YES FINALLY GOOD RIDDANCE YOU FOOL

People are celebrating the death of tumblr live

It's been awhile T~T

School has decided to swamp me with homework for the last two weeks of the semester, I haven't had any chance to sit down and draw! I've done some writing and have a general idea of how I want to tell the story of The Phantom's Façade AU...

It's going to be short stories with a full illustration each. I've got three written so far and a fourth in the works, but they're only five hundred words each... Obviously there'll be a big overarching story-

Anyway, I don't know how much progress I'll make on anything art related until the start of the second semester, sorry!

Sometimes I wonder if people think I’m a bigger artist than I am. I don’t say my follower count because I don’t want to be judged on it either way. It doesn’t matter. I make what I like and I’m grateful that it appeals to others.

Would I like more engagement? Yeah of course, who wouldn’t?

But I’ve accepted I’m niche and that’s cool. I’ve met some amazing people because of it. Wouldn’t have it any other way.

Just an update to let people know that the performance au has a name! "The Phantom's Façade"! (Or The Phantom's Façade AU, if you want)

One of my friends gave me the name idea, what do you think? :)

Here's a WIP, subject to change.

Hey so I like broke my back drawing hunched over for six hours last night so- No performance au art or art in general for probably the next few days, I just need a small break from it, sorry!

I do have an idea for how I could do the story though, I personally feel like it wouldn't be as impactful as a comic, but I still want to do art for the story, so I was thinking of a combination, but I don't know what I'd do... Thoughts?

Since I don't have any art to go with this post, take my favourite of the earlier sketches lol

Here's a full illustration for the Performance AU! I decided to do a version with and without the spotlight turned on! Which do you like best?

Also! Green blush! :D

Click for better quality! (I think)

Some coloured sketches for the performance AU!

I don't know how I feel about the green, oh well, I've already done a full illustration that'll be posted separately. Still too lazy to look up a reference for a NASA hoodie. Gave into temptation, got rid of the umbrella.

I like D and A the best, I might go with D because the jacket gives this nice royal cape look!

I'm going to do and colour a few sketches to get a feel for it! Tempted to get rid of the umbrella... -_-

Nevermind, I got them finished! I present, Performance AU designs!

I like C the best overall, but I might do some versions where I add D's jacket and/or B's shorts and stockings. I'm not proud of A tbh.

I don't know if I want to do the umbrella, a cane or no prop. I like the idea of the umbrella being a weapon, but then again, Danny doesn't tend to use weapons very often :/

What do you think?

I'll put some coloured versions of one of the designs once I get it down! I'm also scared that they don't look much like Danny and I can't tell if that's because it has no colour or if it's just a style thing... Then again, I guess the whole point of the AU is that he's pretending to be something he's not so-

I'm having a lot of fun for the Performance AU, enough that I'm thinking of even naming it... I was pretty busy today so I didn't get them done but there's four mock up designs for Danny's royal attire coming soon! :D

Anyone have any name ideas for the AU btw? The ones I have are pretty uninspired imo ~-~

I ended up doing little sketches cause I'm having fun with this. It looks much better in person I swear. I tried to do some neck crown but I don't know if you can really tell. Also I don't know what a NASA hoodie would look like, forgive me. Too lazy to find a reference.

We don't mention the one on bottom, okay? Okay.

Okay okay okay long post but,

I need to say this cause it's nearly midnight and this idea is keeping me awake! Please tell me if you like the sound of the idea or if you think it's a bit of a stretch lol

So I started thinking about this today and cannot stop but y'know those Danny Phantom AU where Danny has a space obsession but everyone assumes it's actually a protection obsession?? I had an idea where, what if they're not assuming and Danny's pretending to have a protection obsession because he doesn't want his rouges to feel guilty about keeping him from his obsession?

Here me out! What if Danny feels like pretending to have a protection obsession is necessary to keeping his rouges happy and content while fulfilling their obsessions? He wants them to be happy because it means they'll be more satisfied and will come around less (he hopes). His rouges are more than happy to attack because they feel like they're helping Danny fulfill HIS obsession!

Eventually Danny starts to think of it like he's performing for those around him, like he's the star of the show he didn't realize he was in- He finds himself watching plays and operas and broadway shows and he enjoys them?? Which he didn't expect! Soon he becomes a bit obsessed with putting on the perfect performance for others, but obviously that has side effects on his mental health.

Maybe we can bring in some Ghost King Phantom? Like he becomes the Ghost King once he's graduated university or something and to his surprise, Frostbite tells him that he has a new Performance Obsession and of course this can give an opportunity for angsty spirals... Also if I'm being completely honest, the design and personality I have in my head for him is reminiscent of Furina from Genshin Impact, which I'm pretty sure was an accident, especially because I finished the newest quest yesterday... But whatever... I'll worry about it later.

If enough people like the idea I'll probably put a story and designs together, might even throw some dpxdc into the ring who knows, I sure don't! Anyway, my first time actually putting thought into an AU idea and I'm having a lot of fun with it. Let me know what you think!

I played around with lighting techniques in this one and I think it looks pretty good, I also experimented with coloured lineart! Any tips on how to improve my art are appreciated! :)

Some art of two OCs, the one on the right is Jaxon and the one of the left is Carter.

I'm not proud of the shading, lighting or background. It looked so good up until then but I tried my best. I'm still learning how to shade darker skin, so it's not very good. If anyone has any tips they'd be greatly appreciated :)

I'm considering redoing the shading entirely, I'll be honest.

Reblog to kill it faster

This is my first time ever doing a digital painting, and I think I did okay! :)

Traditional draft for a digital painting, got inspired by some pretty mountain, valley and cloud photography and decided to add dragons :D

I've been more inspired recently, I'll probably finish this up soon!

Hey :)

Writing a DnD campaign, here's an NPC for it, her name is Chemin and I'll probably change her hair and feather colour :)

She looks much better in the tiny sketches honestly.

Anyway, I'm happy lol

It is not going well for the comic drafts... I'm rewriting majority of the story and redesigning most of the characters, it's actually pretty fun but I think it'll be a few forever before I finally start the comic :/

I completely forgot to post, but here's some oc art from the past few weeks including a Miasma redesign. I'm working on the first few drafts of my comic as well!
