Um. Some fuzzy fox people. Yup.
I love worldbuilding wednesday <3 First of all I LOVE your fauns- I hadn't seen any until you posted that picture of Megla. She makes me happy. Anyway, to the question. How do you go through developing overall? I know some people start with one race and then work outwards, while some start with like landscape then go down to nations and races and fine details. Also, what's your favorite part about worldbuilding?
For me worldbuilding has always been an extension of creating characters. The design usually comes with all you need to know about where they come from, so for me its always an exercise in extrapolating. Species and biology of character- are they fantastical in a magical/fantasy kind of way? A monstery/occult way or alien way, etc? Are they a robot (or a person turned into a robot which makes things extra interesting cos I love a good existential crisis)? Climate and technology level of society as indicated by clothing and/or accessories...
My favorite bits to work on are probably magic systems and politics, I don't even try but I suppose I am obsessed with politics at a level that it sneaks in to every story I have even when I don't intend for it to, so uh, I go with it XD
Heya! How are you holding up? Still a huge fan! May I ask what you're planning on going into for school? Thanks
ty for checking up on me, its so kind xD Ive been doing better emotionally (thx to the wonders of pharmaceuticals), which is really all I needed to be better overall. Its still too hard for me to balance work/school and I had to drop some classes but Im still doing well in the ones Im still in I guess!!I'm studying electrical engineering because I love technology and GADGETS. Im really glad that its not boring for me lol, manipulating electricity is cool ;p Of course I just want to apply what I learn twd fancier art projectseventually... tbh I cant art at all, Im fried. When I have free time I dont have any juice left so I have been playing overwatch. A lot. Im so addicted to overwatchhelp

I got a book on artistic printing a while back and it really spoke to me, especially the slightly bizarre compositions... I think of it as roughly the design era that happened just before art nouveau, it has a little more anarchy to it that I totally love. Then my awesome friend gave me a book of clipartprinting press designs from 100 years ago, I spent 2 days scanning my favorite designs and converting them to vectors (arrrugh that was so much work ahaha) and I still only converted the stuff I wanted to use right away. AND I have been working on a new look for my website that is SUPER influenced by that design era, see?? SEE?
Since I want the title bar to look like moveable type I think I'm going to go all the way and flip them, it'll be extra cheeky that way, oho.
What are the naming conventions?
Assuming I have them, lol! Honestly I pull names out of my butt. Sometimes I'll put in a little more effort depending on the story (I have one where I made sure at least most of the characters have names that are marginally clever puns) but for the most part I just go with whatever I think of that feels right at the time... D:
PW6 in three flavors- yacht party, indiana jones, and SCIENCE.
I'll stop drawing so many clothes eventu-LOLOLsorry couldn't even finish that sentence
Spent months on this wig... made from a 24" blonde ebay lacefront, three packs of 35" weft extensions from epic cosplay (two platinum blonde and one peach blonde), and some wefts handmade from kanekalon braiding hair. Between work and school and burning out over and over all of my projects take a long time and most don't get completed :( BUT I'm almost done with this baby and I'm wearing him to dragoncon yay I made a highlight on my profile of my (mis)adventures in dyeing it for anyone curious about the custom colors. I airbrushed the ends with a little bit of pink and purple, which I am happy with for small areas. I wouldn't airbrush a full wig because it changes the texture of the hair and I plan on wearing a white shirt with this because I'm a crazy person. Dye isn't 100% transfer proof but it's close and keeps the hair washable. Nitpicking the hairline right now (needs more sideburns) and then I plan to make a ponytail as fluffy and massive as I can muster! The fun part is almost heeeere!!!!
Another commision, D&D Tiefling! I was torn between overdoing the fog and... not overdoing it. Did I succeed? Psh I dunno, I like it though.
Costume DUMP because I had to move and put most of my stuff in storage so I don’t know when I’ll be able to resume work on this :C Also cos I was CUTE
The fiber optic HAIR is 110% of the reason I wanted to cosplay her in the first place. DREAM WIG, still can’t fully believe I’m making it happen… tho uh. You know how no amount of planning can replace what you learn by doing and gaaawsh there are. Many. Things. I would like to do differently. And I’m nowhere near done but also too far along (and too over budget) to start over, eeeeegh.
It’s a 168 neopixel led matrix controlled by an arduino pro mini. Also have a few attinys to control a servo (wiggly robot antenna 8D), and some sound-reactive led circuits, and just, so many other things I have been banging my head against desk all year tryna make this stuff work, tbh the biggest challenge has been figuring out how to power it properly, and uh, safely…?? I learned a LOT about how batteries work this year let me tell you
Final outfit will be visible from SPACE
questionstar.org & questionstar@deviantart. I like to make art, friends, costumes, trouble, and history this is an art/creativity/rambling blog where I complain about art more often than I actually post it!
