Spoilers For Finale - Part 2 Of When The Dawn Breaks Made By @cedar-scented-soap

Hermittober Day 8: Mist

some thoughts under the cut vvvvvvv

Hermittober prompt list made by @collierose1

ooh boy did I cut it a bit close with this one. I always post hermittober pieces every day at the same time and this one took me so long to figure out that I'm currently scheduling this post with only less than an hour to spare

anyway, I like how this one turned out, especially since I couldn't find any references, so I had to use my imagination a bit. that said tho, I did use a reference for the skull and I'm glad I did. should probably do that more

what if we had matching eyes that were "given" to us by the same person who has sacrificed himself for us multiple times in the past and we were cosplaying divorce

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 9: Moon

moon big, but some thoughts under the cut aren't vvvvvvv

Hermittober prompt list made by @collierose1

honestly, not what I had in mind initially, but I like it anyway. I should probably start planning those ahead tho, especially looking at some of the prompts

oh well, I already have an idea for the next one, but boy will it be a tough one...

I wanna draw this so bad I wanna draw this so bad I wanna draw this SO DAMN BAD

"why don't you draw it then?" cause I'm working on a session 1 compilation animatic and quite frankly I'm running out of time

I sleep, work on it, take occasional breaks, go sleep and repeat all over again

binged the Lamplight AU on ao3 in one night and now coping the only way I know how creating my own AU (at least trying to) here's what my brain came up with

bonus ending under the cut vvvvv

planning to make a fic with it

found myself unable to draw anything with interesting storytelling or poses, so here's a Pearlo made for the sake of getting to render something

also, I gotta say, going from Etho POV straight to Martyn POV is quite a whiplash (although I imagine it'd be much stronger the other way around)

like, team renwood mining session is chill, you know right away that they'll stick together, they talk about being old men, Martyn gives Ren a diamond unprompted (at least I don't remember Ren asking? either way it's very chill)

meanwhile there's the B.E.T. team. not only do Bdubs and Etho spend pretty much their whole time on the surface arguing like an old married couple (which also carries on to their mining session), but also their mining session is so wild. every time someone finds loot or, gods forbid, diamonds, they're on each other's THROATS. like, they're acting as if the SECOND there's back on surface they're gonna run off in separate directions

feels kinda refreshing going from watching wild life finale where I was pretty much rooting for a specific winner to mcc party where I was watching pink parrots with full faith they wouldn't make it to the dodgeball part, very relaxing

although I did start very much rooting for orange by the end there, but still, it was a lot of fun and very chill

winner pearl design

closeups and explanations under the cut vvvvvvv

FINALLY managed to make a design I actually like, it took me months I think ;-;

anyway here's my insight:

mostly what's been bugging me about my designs is how the cape would make it less interesting, but there have been other on-spot changes too for example, the hairstyle. idk if anyone noticed, but the hairstyle I give to her depends on the context (so if it's siitw it's short and fluffy and if it's just hc it tends to be long and straight, but honestly it depends on the season lol). and here I was debating on what hairstyle to give her when I went "wait, why not AURORA's hairstyle since running with the wolves is the song I associate with her the most", but I made it wavy from other miscellaneous changes, she now has stars on the ends of shoelaces cuz I thought it'd be cool and moon hairpins for the same reason

this one will actually be relevant even beyond this post cuz I've had the winners have necklaces with their symbols for a while now, but I think I never actually posted anything that would actually show that ajhjdsjgsafkg

and last but not least, a headcannon I came up with pretty much on the spot: under certain circumstances (don't ask what those are) "freckles" that depict the stars in the sky show up and along with her left eye glow purple (normally for a winner both eyes would glow, but since the win was "given" to her it's only one (hopefully I'll make Scott's design soon, but if I don't - for him only his right eye glows))
