Intro Post Part Two: The Better One
Hi, I’m Herma! This account used to be Payday based but currently it doesn’t really have a theme.
But! For specific content, I have created sideblogs, because I will combust if I put it all on one tumblr.
Active sideblogs are:
@its-spelt-apocrypha for reblogs
@its-spelt-sheogorath for NSFW content
@its-spelt-vaermina for OC content
@accounts-of-waylo-schmidtt for My Summer Car content revolving around @bkburrito’s character <3
Welcome to Apocrypha! Browse as long as you’d like :)
❌ for the oc outfit ask if you’re doing them 👀 idk any of your ocs yet so pick your favorite 👀
(Wacky I had just talked myself out of posting art after i reblogged that outfit challenge and you held me to it so ty genuinely for breaking my art block shskxn)
Did I use this as an excuse to design a Barbie inspired outfit? Yes. Are the bell bottoms atrocious? Yes. But I love him.
(Ough tumblr destoyred the quality so click or tap for higher res)
As an Asian-Mexican who grew up only ever seeing Spiderman as a Hwhite Boi (tm) it makes me so happy to see the POC spiders get recognized. Peni. Miles. Miguel. Hobie. Pavitr. My little heart will explode i love them so much.
Barbie and Marina and the Diamonds are fundamentally tied to my transmasc identity in a way i cannot explain
Im getting a lot of scp stimboards on my dadh and not ONE has been of SCP-420 and I cant say Im not a little disappointed
I love being a greek pagan dating a norse pagan cause both of us say "oh my gods" but which ones? Fuck around and find out, bucko.
I love tumblr we have exclusive holidays like Suez Canal Blockage Anniversary and the Assassination of One Julius Caesar its fantastic
Tumblr didnt save my last add on but behold!
The guy!
Next project will be working on some clothes for him :) thatll be a whole other post
Frankly, the hardest part about this “challenge” was the skin colour. I had several different combinations I kept going back and forth on, until I eventually decided on #775B59 with accents of #32161F. I originally wanted to make him an unnatural colour, like green or pink, but I went with more muted and reddish colours, cause that’s what looked the best in my opinion. The rest of the palette just built from there.

I have evolved past hand cramps. I now get
My thumb will not return to its normal position because of how I hold my tablet.
I can still move it, its just super weak for a few seconds after I move my hand away from my tablet.

FIGURED OUT ONE AND IMMEDIATELY FOUND ANOTHER
Horns
This on isn’t as deep at the wings. Horns are meant for one thing; defense. So, I’m looking at it from less of a functional standpoint and more of how I want them to look. I’ve messed with a few designs and I think I’m gonna settle for some ram horns. When in doubt always resort to ram.

Already encountered my first struggle
Wings
Wings are a funny thing. Specifically choosing wings. Especially when there’s no prior context to the character.
Wings are often based on how the creature evolved. If, say, an alien race evolved from insectoid ancestors, then they may have insect wings, like beetles or dragonflies. Same with other creatures like birds, bats, butterflies, or even fairies.
Different wings move differently, so for this character’s wings, I have to not only think about how I want them to look, but also how I want them move.
Some wings move in a circular pattern, spinning almost like propellors. Other wings, the more common kind, simple beat up and down (however, these sometimes do move slightly in a circular pattern to achieve directional movement instead of pure lift).
This character isn’t coming from a premeditated race, so there’s no exact evolution path to follow.
I first considered drawing Insect wings, which tend to move in a circle. However, the reason insect can use this to fly if because they have teeny bodies. If I wanted to go with these wings, I’d have to make them proportional to the character’s body, and this fucker already has so much going on and I don’t want it to look cumbersome.
The “more logical” option would be bat wings or bird wings; but I already use these as the wing default in most of my character designs.
I could go with Butterfly wings; that’d leave me only with deciding which butterfly or moth I want to design them after, or just make the design up from scratch.
I also have to think about how they fold. Bird and Bat wings are evolved to be foldable and flexible, though Insect wings would be more compact when resting; Butterfly wings don’t compact at all.
I think I’m gonna fiddle around with different Insect wings to see what I like.

Talking mad shit about an article as a seasoned Alienfucker
SO. The article in question is this:
https://reelrundown.com/movies/The-Top-10-Sexiest-Aliens
I’m going to rant about why it was funny to me in a strangely not funny way. Keep in mind this is written out of sheer boredom, this isn’t supposed to be serious, but I’m criticizing this article because I want to and because its actually bullshit.
So basically the list counts as such:
10. Serleena Xath (Men in Black)
9. Queen Tyr’ahnee (Duck Dodgers)
8. Princess Neytiri (Avatar)
7. Aayla Secura (Star Wars)
6. Ella (Cowboys and Aliens)
5. Gamora (Guardians of the Galaxy)
4. Leeloo (The Fifth Element)
3. Caprica Six (Battlestar Galactica)
2. Darth Talon (Star Wars)
1. Sil (Species)
I sorted them out into four distinct categories.
I reckon you can already see why this is funny to me. Because most of their choices. Don’t look like aliens. You can’t make a list of fuckable aliens and list off aliens that look indistinguishable from humans. That just means you like humans
I can excuse Neytiri and Aayla and Talon, Gamora’ and Tyr’ahnee are on thin ice, but c’mon man. Come on man. At least put some actual aliens for the rest.
I dunno, maybe I just don’t understand the Normal Person Gaze (tm) but if you ask people who I feel like this article is for then Venom would be on there without question.
Anyways. Have a good evening.

Not to get real on my funny TES themed payday blog but Iunno, I feel like it.
So. Ive been pretty afk for a bit, heres why.
I moved!
I proceeded to get majorly hurt at work.
Thats mostly it.
I havent really felt good enough to post here. I posted a bit on a few of my sideblogs, which I made so I didnt feel weird about posting certain stuff here (seriously though if you can please go check those out, they're less shitpost-y and i put a lot of work into them, they're listed under the cut of my pinned post)
Then i proceeded to stop posting at all! I just havent felt like the stuff ive been drafting arent as good, so I think I'm gonna start slowly and work up to posting regularly again.
Im gonna post more Payday doodle so. Yeah!
So TLDR; Im gonna start posting again I swear /lh
