Necromancer WIP for my Character Design class last semester

Prompt: Steampunk Short Necromancer 💀🎩⚰🕯

Cheers to our TA Margo for the help with this new rendering process!

One more coaster done! That makes three! Loving this set, so glad I got it.

my job in the stem lab is gear inspector. i make sure all the gears fit and that they turn with each other right. if they do not turn right, however, i just put them back because i understand that they’re going through a lot and i don’t want to get in their way

I don’t know if anyone has ever done this before but, here ya go… The Different Types of Fanfiction! 

I probably left a few out, but these are the most common, compared to their base fiction’s canon plot. Enjoy! XD

You know, as the concept of “zombifying fungi” becomes more and more popular, I notice it still referred to everywhere as like a “brain parasite.” So I guess a lot of people overlooked or forgot how in 2019 it was discovered that cordyceps and other similar fungal parasites leave the brain and nervous system completely untouched. They only control the muscles. They use chemical signals to make the muscles flex in real time where they want to go :)

the most insane double casting i’ve heard of is ophelia and horatio being played by the same actress. the implications of that drive me crazy

The Good Place season one: Haha, what if someone was sent to heaven by accident and had to pretend to be a good person!

The Good Place by the end: Morality cannot be measured in a vacuum. While people should be held accountable for their actions, people are a product of their environment and the results of our actions are often beyond our control. Bad people can improve when they loved and supported. Also, the reality of death is essential to the enjoyment of life.

those first couple weeks after escaping a time loop have gotta be disorienting as all fuck. all those little cues that used to tell you what's about to happen are now triggers that cause you to brace for something that isn't coming. you have to relearn the permanence of death -- hell, you have reacquaint yourself with the entire concept of finality altogether. everything keeps changing but it never changes back and you keep having to remind yourself that this is normal. "it won't reset anymore," you echo to yourself, over and over and over, like a broken record, like you're still trapped in a loop, like someone who escaped the time loop but was doomed to bring it into the future with them

One of the best stories I ever read as a child was a fantasy novel by some local dude selling books out of a suitcase on the sidewalk downtown, and I don't remember what it was called or who the author was, and it's so obscure that no matter how many elements I remember, I've never been able to find it through web searches. I only vaguely remember the story - it was a love story, something about a tower on an island and two characters on a quest to discover their forgotten past. They fall in love and at the end the only way to stay together is to allow themselves to forget again, and you realize that they're right where they started, in the exact same tower, and they're doomed to go on this same quest over and over again, never completed, but that also means they'll fall in love over and over again forever. And I remember how that ending blew up my little child brain into a million pieces.

I don't know what happened to the book, and I'll probably never read it again, but if you're somewhere out there and you were once selling fantasy novels from a suitcase on the sidewalk in the suburbs of Chicago, and if you ever felt like your writing never meant anything or went anywhere except a hundred copies you had printed yourself and sold for almost nothing, please know that your story buried itself in my young brain and has probably shaped my worldview in ways even I don't understand.

i can't lie to you i loveee bad endings sometimes. what if nothing worked out. what if the characters gave into their worst instincts. what if they became worse. what if there's truly no hope left. what will they do out of desperation? who will they become as their worst selves?

nav. again.

i truly hope these tags are utterly incomprehensible to everyone but myself

Kind characters are not boring; in fact, due to the vast amount of people who hold that opinion, kind characters are as edgy as it gets. In this essay I will

i thinkit would be cool if there was an omegaverse but for salmon instead of wolves. Like when the time comes certain members of society get really juicy musclewise and get yiffy fangs and are suddenly compelled to return to the neighborhood they grew up in and 96 hours later show up barefoot in full starvation mode and ravaged by walking through interstate traffic to fuck whoevwr smells the best in the local burger king. Then afterwards they die and disintegrate to be eaten by seagulls in the parking lot

i think it's fucked up that there are plants that decided they wanted to eat meat

masks and helmets that hides someone's face in such a way that they become the face themselves my beloved

these are all creatures to me

oh i never know how to explain this properly but i looooooooooooooooove when a story just absolutely TELLS you something and it’s so obvious it goes right by you. like the equivalent of hiding in plain sight. i’m thinking in the original cut(?) of alien where they showed the full xenomorph, crouched and ready to pounce, but because we’ve never seen it before, we can’t tell what it is and interpret it as part of the spaceship. or it’s a detail that seems so out of place or wildly insane that you automatically ignore it and assume you misinterpreted until that exact detail comes back in a big way? (like when noah the raven boy flat out tells everyone he’s a ghost and they take it as a joke, so the reader does too) is there a tvtropes name for this i’m obsessed with it

Spy x Family = romance for people who fantasize about getting married and having kids

Kaguya-Sama = romance for people who deal with anxiety

Horimiya = romance for teenagers (seriously, this is the most “teenage romance” anime series I’ve encountered)

My Dress Up Darling = romance specifically for nerds and geeks (because Marin and Gojo are nerds in their own way and the show’s message is about embracing what you love)

Science Fell in Love, So I Tried to Prove It = romance for socially awkward people / people who don’t really get social cues

Grand Blue = romance for fratbros and sorority girls

DanDaDan = romance for weeeeiiiird people (affectionately)

HAPPY HOLIDAYS EVERYBODY!!!

“Your gift is here, it will be something you’ll never forget. Most people don’t realize there are troubled realms within our world, and you hold the key to their secrets. Remember, Clara, nothing is as it seems.”

I thought I’d redraw a very old post of mine from last year for the holiday season (I think you can still find the full screen version of the old one in my old acc @snowie-sparks. Just putting it out there if y’all wanna check that out). Above is the new art and below is the old one.

Below is the palette I used and its based on the Disney film “Nutcracker and the Four Realms.” I couldn’t find any palettes for this film so I went and made my own.

Hope y’all like and enjoy the palettes and art. Bye and may y’all have great days ahead!

More pokefusions, this is my residential sweeper and went though the most non unique sprites but they came out great in the end

Also really good sweeper Steel/dragon w/Levitate & Shift gear+ Earthquake

3D Printed Fidget Gear Bracelet

This is a spinoff of the 3D printed fidget gear necklace I released a couple of days ago. Its the same 3D print as the necklace, so it also features the ability to play with and move around the gears! This bracelet is ideal for someone that wants something to fidget with discreetly to help them focus. I personally use it myself; I find it very relaxing. The bracelet is one size fits most. It uses a sliding knot to allow the user to easily put it on and take it off (plus its also fun to fidget with, as Ive done with bracelets similar to this one!). The charm measures 1.25x1. The gears are attached with a printed axle with stoppers at either end, allowing them to spin freely.

Hey! Since it looks like a lot of people seemed interested in the 3D printed Fidget Gear necklace I made a couple days ago, I decided to also make it available as a bracelet!

Again, I find it extremely helpful, like many people, to have something that I can fidget with to keep focused, so a bracelet or necklace like this could help out a lot of people!

The bracelet itself also features a sliding knot, making it easier to put it on and take it off (and also gives you something extra to fidget with XD).

I hope you guys like it! Any feedback would be really appreciated!

3D Printed Fidget Gear Necklace

This 3D Printed gear necklace features movable parts! I love looking at the different types of little charms and toys that give someone that has trouble focusing something to help them out. This necklace is ideal for someone that wants something to fidget with but wants to be discreet. It can really help out if youre sitting at a desk working and need something to keep your mind occupied. It also just works for anyone thats into playing with little toys like gears. The charm itself has two gears on it and an axle that runs through them with stoppers on either end. It measures 1.25 x 1. The necklace measures 20 long and features a ring clasp for attachment.

And here’s the third! I took some inspiration from those fidget cubes that people are starting to love, and made my own version in a necklace. The necklace on the surface is two gears connected via axle, with stoppers on the ends. The axle lets you turn the gears around and play with them! 

The printing itself took about ten tries, experimenting with different sized axles, stoppers, and gears, before I finally came up with the final product.

This necklace is great for someone like myself that often finds themselves fidgeting with random things to keep focused, but wants to do it a bit more discreetly. I find that I tend to play with my necklaces anyways, so this seemed like a good thing to make.
