This was for his birthday, but also i liked their halloween costume. So.
I love that musk is groveling asking people to pay for their blue checkmarks while tumblr's fundraising solution was to sell a tiny shitting horse, shoe laces, forced post visibility, and crab rain
HC of GL!Crumb is that they were found in the woods by GL!Ranboo. They don’t remember anything. GL!Ranboo sees them eating crumbs, then Crumb themselves decided to name themselves the stuff they’re eating…Crumbs.
The endermoms took them in when their son be like: Hey mom, I found this cat outside in the woods eating chicken food. “Dear thats a child”
+ GL!Ranboo gets a hair cut cause it’s in the way plus easier to clean the blood off

So I drew it very low quality but recently I've been hyper-fixating on my designs and how some dsmp characters change from one design to the other. For instance-
Techno has all the forms but I never chose to draw him as anything else than a furry. Mostly cause it's most accurate to how he wants to be perceived as; a pig.
Fundy however- I think of him as a shifter who changes between all the forms whenever it's convenient for him.
And then there's people like Philza who is just as chaotic as coalesce in the fact that he just, does whatever whenever.
things I’ve experienced working at the smp museum
Tommy innit (the kid who was exiled) put himself through recreations of traumatic experiences in some twisted version of exposure therapy
someone asked what the camarvan was and i had to explain that it was the catalyst for the creation of l’manburg and also a drug van
some kids tried to recreate the final control room betrayal for a school project but the kid playing eret (the traitor in the lmanburg war for independence and also my boss) stood on top of the chest for the infamous line and fucking fell off and broke their nose
someone tried to steal the camarvan
some kid doing a project on heredity said they had to pick one famous figure and for some goddamn reason they picked Wilbur soot so i had to explain the bastards fucked up family tree and i have never seen someone so confused (kid if you’re out there good luck on your project)
someone who knew Far too much about soot came and demanded we add an exhibit dedicated to his sand-eating habits
someone tried to defend dream and i just left bc what the Fuck
one day my boss said they were going to some cult banquet (i don’t handle the egg shit that’s my coworkers domain) and i got to spin in their office chair
heard later the cult banquet ended with multiple murders. not surprised.
got an assignment to hang up a “historically significant painting” but it was just a picture of first gentleman ranboo my beloved in a locket with his name??? but yknow his husband has nukes so I’m not gonna protest
some kid called the front desk at like midnight and asked if being straight was ok. first of all why the fuck are you calling a history museum second of all i was really confused and panicked and said “what’s a straight” and hung up so uh sorry kid
had to witness 3 kids try to recreate the lmanburg independence war in the form of interpretive dance. im all for creative schooling but what the fuck
cranboo headcannons but they are made up on the spot
1.he wore gloves during nlm and that's why they didn't know they had silk touch hands.
2.piggy backing off of that, ze also used glove etiquette and had a wide collection of gloves lost during doomsday.
3.she uses all pronouns after revival and he/they before then, after learning about pronouns. limbo made cranboo use neopronouns amen
4.sunbathes like a cat. (tubbo would often trip over hym in the snowchester cabin because hy was laid out in the light of a window randomly)
5.another cat headcannon. ranboo kneads blankets.
6.ranboo has a bunch of charms tied to vear tools and weapons (some made by friends!)
7.sheds like a beast. enderman fluff everywhere!!
8.cir has like two suits and one is falling apart and one is slightly newer and both dont really fit but she refuses to wear anything else. they smell like lavender thou!
9.they collect sticks from trees along with different kinds of grass blocks
10.ranboo has a lot of verbal stims that he tries to repress around most people out of embarrassment. the more noises you hear her make the more comfortable they are around you!
11.kay talks soooo much in hys sleep. like for real. also lots of noises like chirps and stuff. just talking to him or poking him will cause many noises.
12.vee will carry around micheal sometimes just out of a need to protect him. but they still go on walks together and micheal is still allowed to do things. just sometimes ranboo is feeling extra paranoid and protective.
13.technoblade and ranboo have weekly tea meetings where they both have/try a different flavor of tea. neither of them like tea that much (techno prefers coffee, ranboo is not a fan of drinks) but they do it anyway
14.ranboo will give out gifts all the time, even if they dont look like gifts! like grass and dirt everywhere in phil's house. it makes since to ranboo and no one else.
15.ranboo once got slapped by another enderman and didnt show his face for a week. shame..
16.ranboo is fluffy all over and one time had a makeover with niki and she tried (and sort of failed) to put tiny clips and bows on some of his face fluff.
17.ranboo is fuzzy all over, less than fluffy. like just a little bit of fluff ya know? it grows faster on her head so theres very very soft hair there.
18.ranboo has accedentally gotten hys horn stuck in a tree before. (i hc that they have one small and one big horn)
19.very cuddly and loves to cuddle with zir pets. ranboo will lay across tubbo when its most inconvenient (think cat)

2 things.
First: HOW DO I DRAW HANDS (I ask this to literally every artist I follow this is nothing new)
Second: what helps you get through an art block.
I made this for my caricature trainees. Anything is easy to draw once you figure out the simple shapes.
As for a block, I just scribble through it and draw aimlessly. Doodling stupid things, just letting my hand work. Life draw pedestrians, animals ect. Anything but take a break. I draw everyday, even if it’s just circles and scribbles. Gotta keep the muscles in tune.
ANNNNNAAAAAAAA how do u do these hands ;-; help
WIDOFO
WHEN IN DOUBTY, ONE FINGER OUTY
Ahhhh i forgot to add the numbers hhhh
ALSO

-Straight and curves!
-ive said it and ill say it again. E👏T👏H👏A👏N👏 B👏E👏C👏K👏E👏R
More hands ^
My hands... Cheats... Things...
How I draw hands?
Idk?
Hope this makes sense. I generally don't see myself as being very... Good at hands, BUT I'm gonna most some drawings with my thoughts on how I draw them.
Of course, since character art is my passion, I've been forced to draw hands for over a decade. SO most of my 'skill' with hands is just muscle memory, combined with reference, combined with practice practice practice. Which nobody wants to hear because it sucks. SO LET'S SEE IF I CAN HELP ANYONE CHEAT THEIR WAY TO BETTER HANDS!!! (Also I'm so sorry for the photo quality I hope you guys can see these clearly enough)
So the basic thing about hands for me is that the palm is one shape, the fingers are another and the thumb is there too. I showed the palm in red and you can see how the thumb adds to the shape of the hand, as does the side of the hand in the second drawing.
As you can see from the sad looking hand, the anatomy looks wonky if the thumb is too high. If you clearly make the distinction of 'Here's the palm. Here's where the fingers are and here's the thumb, who is separate, but important.' it'll look way more natural, even if you're not confident. Most of my skill is just the fact that I don't make the thumb ruin everything. Wonky fingers can be ignored, but if the thumb looks like a parasite rather than an appendage, everybody notices.
As I mentioned, fingers that are kind of just stumps of flesh can be ignored in some cases, but if your thumb ain't natural... It'll look weird. When the thumb is flexed (which is how I draw it 99% of the time) it has a distinct curve to it and isn't just straight.
BUT BE CAREFUL! When perfecting the foxy curves on that gorgeous thumb of yours, you may get too into it and make it about fifteen sizes too big. Compare it to the rest of the hand and adjust appropriately.
SPEAKING OF PROPORTIONS! Please... Measure the hands against the body. One thing I see a lot in 'bad hands' is that the artist works so hard on making the fingers look good and detailed... And they end up making the hands ridiculously small or way too large. If that's your style, that's cool, but... Sometime's it's obviously not a style choice. It's just oversight. Always make sure you know how big your hands need to be.
These are just some more sketches of mine, but I want to bring to attention something in the bottom hand, the forshortened one... The two middle fingers are almost fused together. This is an epic hack and will make your hand poses super natural looking. Just like it looks weird to draw each individual hair, if you draw each finger as its own unit, you're gonna get a wacky hand. Especially when posing and thumbnailing, grouping certain fingers together into one mass is a GREAT hack for clear, readable action which, in the end, is the goal of character art.
Tbh, the less detail and anatomy you can get away with, the better. If you can make something that is an anatomical disaster look expressive and pleasing to the human eye, then the best advice I can give you is to lean into that and embrace it. Art is abstraction at the end of the day and hands are not the hill anyone wants to die on.
When drawing the palm, remember to leave room for Jesus. You know how he was pierced in the middle of his hands? Make sure that part actually exists in your drawing. A lot of people sort of forget to draw the palm and make it very small or nonexistant. Just a gateway to the fingers. Your palms deserve better rep than that. Sure, the fingers are more popular, but the palm is like that one stable friend who owns the Netflix account. You think your ring finger is financially responsible? Hah. (What am I saying at this point? Have I cracked???)
And some tips for the road:
Look at references (sorry I needed to say this again)
Try copying hands from photos
Try copying hands from drawings (yeah, you're gonna learn a few awesome shortcuts from observing some non-irl hands)
Study your own hands. How do the shapes work? Draw that.
Forshortening sucks and will always suck, don't fear it. Fake it till you make it.
If you can hide the thumb or a finger behind the rest of the hand and it doesn't look like it's been chopped off... Do it. Take shortcuts if they won't damage the expression and readability.
Continuing that last one: If you can get away with not detailing hands, do it
A scribbled, low detail hand that carries a drawing's pose and purpose is a million times better than a hand that was shoved in a pocket because you don't know how to do that pose. If you're gonna destroy your awesome pose because the hand scares you, then why draw it anyway? You've already butchered the expression and composition. What's the point? All the hacks you could have used and you pick the 'spit on my own hard work' method?
Don't sacrifice composition, expression or clarity because you're afraid of a pose is all I'm saying
Try to remember your style and how many fingers your characters are supposed to have. This seems obvious, but I forget way too often.
Hands holding things... Suck. It'll be painful to draw. Look at reference, sketch it out, use your hacks... And pray.
But don't make an object smaller or oddly shaped because it's being held. If the hand looks wonky, that's fine, but if the IMMORTAL DRAGON SWORD wobbles at the handle IT IS OVER!
On that note: learn the proper hand positions for holding things like weapons and tools. Or at least make it semi-believable. That's a bit of a make-or-break thing right there.
Don't draw the hand without figuring out where the rest of the arm is going. Believe it or not, those two things are connected and if drawn without regard for one another, they look weird.
On that same note: Wrists are a thing that exist. Remember to draw them. I forget a lot, even in some of my examples here and it looks awkward. Especially in bent-wrist poses.
