worldbuilding spread for shalva'nak (planet i'm writing) that's lowkey kinda ugly but i like it anyway

shimi va'dain :3c (another oc lol)

(a picture of my ipad screen ^ because it actually looks nice uwu)

anyway! she doesn't have too much lore yet; i have a couple songs i associate with her and a rough idea of how she fits into the society i'm building as well as how she might interact with other characters but she doesn't have much of an arc :p

OMG SO I FORGOT TO POST HIM!! this is my oc!!! again, lore coming soon... (his lore is probably going to be released/written the last because he is still such an enigma to me sigh. but i love drawing him i'm his biggest fan)

also i don't know why tumblr washed out the color so much that's so weird qoq

shitposting hours because i've been having SUCH a time :)) busy but having fun

anyway my stage crew/backstage outfit! i put a lot of thought and effort into it (trust)

being in a theater community is so awesome :))

meet the gang!! (i have two other significant characters but they're also less developed and less fleshed out)

when i get more time i really want to make full character sheets with formalised lore and character traits :>

anyway i think people who minimise any sort of physical characteristic like disability/race/being fat are kinda weird, like i get that you have an art style but maybe try adapting your style to encompass different visual traits instead of erasing said traits?

i can count the amount of times i've drawn jon on my two hands lmao

i've been. so tired and busy this week but i did try to at least be a little bit artistically productive :p

studies + wip for art class

back to our regularly scheduled toy soldier doodles

old ass ashes doodle.. i really wanted to draw more mechs but. no time... :( i will get to the request in my inbox after hell (undisclosed busy) is over, trust

i remembered this exists so i'm reblogging it

on today's episode of insane and funny history we have thomas jefferson's hate mail!

i'm not sure which photo i like better, so have them both

if you've never engaged with a creative art on a regular basis you need to understand that it requires concerted effort to get into "the groove" to make something and every second that it takes to get into that groove causes physical pain, but the only thing worse than doing it is not doing it.

more worldbuilding sketches/studies!

studies for some worldbuilding i'm working on! :D

anatomy studies! the last one is a wip :p

🌈☀️ - would it be repetitive for me to ask about jùnjié lol

Not at all! He's honestly one of my favorites, ask about him whenever you want.

🌈- What does this oc like and dislike about themselves?

Jùnjié likes just about everything about himself, at least as far as he'll admit. He's good-looking, charismatic, incredibly rich, and positioned to inherit a megacorporate empire that owns a *country*. What's not to like?

Sure, he'll never know if people like him or his magic is forcing them to. Oh, and sure, magic is banned in his country, and his parents are not only terrified of him but actively trying to get rid of him before people find out. And sure, he's the kind of mage that people think of as the boogeyman, because nobody likes the possibility that their brain is being influenced. It's not fireball magic. Yeah. Okay.

But consider: it makes cats like him, and he'll never admit that he actually thinks his personality is quite bad, or that he hates that his magic carries him. Also, it definitely doesn't bother him at all that most of the country he's to protect and inherit (and lowkey cares a lot about) thinks he's a lazy rich party boy while they're all suffering for scraps. He has nothing to prove, really. Shut up.

☀️- Does this oc make good or bad first impressions?

So now that we've breached the magic thing - pretty much exclusively good impressions, when he's 1-on-1 with you, in person. He's an enthusiastic and genuinely well-meaning guy, most of the time, and he loves people. He loves how people make him feel in his magical brainhole and/or his party boy brain, sure, but also he needs to be liked to survive.

Possibly literally. It really depends if they find out what he is and have a problem with it. Khonjae get kidnapped all the time anyway, held for ransoms that their parents probably won't pay for since there's others waiting in line to take their place...

His personality's weird enough that if you see through his magical charisma, I would *hope* he makes a bad impression, but he is generally enthusiastic enough that it might be at least neutral.

🌼 - adellina? (am i allowed to ask this :0?)

YES YOU ABSOLUTELY CAN, BABY!

what's your favorite thing about this OC? well, honestly, it's her justice complex. she's always so difficult to keep under control, especially where her mom's concerned. she's a rebel at heart and will always fight back when someone's in trouble or being bullied. unfair treatment is her special trigger, always spurring her to action.

I saw quite a few people posting polls about what Michael’s pronouns are, so here’s my take: Michael has an “ask my pronouns” pin but if you actually ask Michael just doesn’t tell you.

he's so smol

two tmagp thoughts for. no reason.

when someone lies the audio glitches

the second thing sam whistled is in a mechanisms song

DRAWING SO GOOD

OH! THANK YOU! VERY KIND!! :D

Peetah...how are you doing that?

doing... what?

cecil in a dress :0 i tried to make his sunhat thing look like the eye in the podcast cover but it's. it doesn't look like it lol. i'm only on episode 4 but i keep seeing memes and my girlfriend shares stuff with me so... let me know if this is something you think cecil would wear :p

i've been exhausted the last couple days - but i have some (rather elaborate) gel pen swatching in portrait form :D

i'll definitely be incorporating the pens in other portraits/drawings and maybe getting some colored pencils along with the pens to supplement my marker drawings! (i really want some acrylic markers...) now my traditional style looks more colorful and more like my digital style :p

anyway yah. some messy low energy drawings for fun :))

okay everyone lock in your final tmagp guesses before thursday. we’re on the home stretch now. mine are under the cut

I love reminding people that Brian canonically meows

When we see Gerard Keay interact with statement givers he comes across as pretty socially awkward. For example: In TMA 38, he stares at women until she's uncomfortable and then he goes up to her and insinuates that she's ruining his vacation before saying that she's "marked" by something. Then he doesn't elaborate on what she could be marked by. In another example, when interacting with the nurse in TMA 12, after bottles of saline start to bubble, he says “Yes. For you, better beholding than the lightless flame," which, again, is confusing and the nurse explicitly says that she doesn't know what that means.

And I think that's an interesting note on how being raised in a world where the fears were so normalized affected him as a person.

Because the social mistakes he makes when interacting with the statement givers is talking about the fears as they're these casual things, which does nothing other than confuse and scare people who are already disoriented by what they're going through...but the thing is, you can't really blame him for making these mistakes.

After all, the fears ARE normal to him. They're all he's ever known, and from that perspective, it has to be hard to interact with people who have had such a different existence. There's a good chance he doesn't even register how confusing some of the things he says are, because in his world you don't need to explain what a mark is or why it's better to serve The Eye than the Lightless Flame. That's just a fact of life.

And I think this idea that Gerard just isn't good with interacting with normal people is backed up by the way he seems when we hear him interact with Gertrude and Jon. When he's interacting with people inside his world, he comes across as very witty and charismatic, not off-putting in the way statement givers tend to describe. And I don't think that's because the statement givers are painting a false picture of who he is. Rather, he just has an easier time with people who "get it" and (mostly) need as little context as he does.

Anyway, it has been exactly five minutes since I've had too many thoughts about Gerard Keay. But my main one is this: Gertrude should have gotten the chance to fist-fight Mary at least once because who raises a child like that?
