A New Creature Has Appeared!!!!

BAM!

who needs sleep when you have cubitos to overdesign

largely inspired by this post

IMPORTANT -ish

There's an account (fairly certain a bot with how quick they're posting) stealing other people posts and spamming them in the goodtimeswithscar and wild life smp tag.

From their user and profile its clear that they are not part of this community, and there's a glaring link underneath the stolen post. I checked their profile, and they're staging as a news blog with a dodgy link in their bio. Please do not click it!! First rule of the internet, but please report them, especially since they're stealing posts and claiming them as their own.

Hermittober Day 5: Echo

what do you do when you've tried doing several takes on one drawing and anything with details looks like shit? that's right, you make anything that'd have said details too small to have any and slap a bunch of texture brushes and effects on it!

"if I try making it perfect I won't make it at all" or something, so I'm just gonna accept my losses and move on

I just finished watching Pearl's session 2 POV and I just realized something

Pearl kind of takes after Scott in a way

I'm specifically talking about Scott's ally blessing. at the end of her video she was talking to Impulse and was explaining how this time she wants him to win. and it's not even the first time she's helped someone else win, she offered her life to Scar back in Secret Life. and people (including me) say that it was Scott's blessing that helped Scar, but what if Pearl had to do with it also?

I've had a theory for a while that every Life Series curse and blessing has 2 aspects to it. the canary curse means the bearer dies first AND right before many other deaths follow. the ally blessing means the recipient wins AND dies. so what if the blessing is now split between 2 players? after all, in Secret Life Scott was Gem's ally first and foremost, only being allied with Scar for a very short time. he wasn't even on the same side as Scar in the zombie apocalypse. but Pearl was. Pearl went into finale by his side. so according to this theory Scott's part (ensuring the ally dies) worked on Gem and Pearl's part (ensuring the ally wins) worked on Scar

Scott died for his soulmate, so his part is the death. Pearl saw her soulmate die for her, so her part is protection until the win

so yeah, Impulse was one of my picks for the win even before session 1 videos were released, but now he's pretty much my top 1 pick

thoughts below the cut vvvvvvv

ngl I just took my glasses off and kinda went wild with it lol

I think the biggest challenge was the background, fully blurry it just looked out of place, but when I tried adding raindrops they turned out to be too much

I like how this turned out and it was quite a lot of fun to make :D (probably not gonna use this technique often tho)

also if you want bonus experience, here's the track I was listening to while making it :3

do you really believe scott “gave” pearl a win? like seriously? pearl got a quad kill on everyone else who was left but them. in any other series she won right there. she would have killed scott with her dogs. he didn’t give her anything except the headache of the fandom constantly invalidating her win. if letting yourself die so another person can win means you gave it to them, scar got given his win too. good art but ruined by that detail.

ah, I had a feeling my wording would be misinterpreted. I fully believe she deserved that win, through and through. the "gave" part comes in more in lore sense than anything I guess? every other winner took out the 2nd place themselves, but scott didn't give her the option to, so I just decided to put that as a detail, even gave scott a matching eye, which imo should indicate that "given" the win or not, they're ALL equal winners to me, I just liked the concept

but I struggle with wording in general and when I wrote the post I was very tired, so I can't really blame anyone for misunderstanding my ramblings lol

was reading chapter 37 of When The Dawn Breaks made by @cedar-scented-soap (specifically Scar's part) when this came to my mind and refused to leave

ignore the fact that I clearly don't know what Scar and Fuzzy are supposed to look like (and that I clearly forgor to give Scar vex wings)

I'm watching Wild Life from Martyn's POV and I saw a detail in his skin that at first I was like "nah there's no way"

but then I checked namemc and this is what I saw

another simple one today, partially because I didn't have much time today, but also because I just couldn't think of anything better
