They seem like a trustworthy bunch.

[Start ID. A neat collage of twelve drawings, titled Peridots' Year In Review: Art of 2022. Each one is the favorite drawing made in a particular month. End ID]
A few days late like last time and a couple of these were on the previous post, but here's my art summary for the year :]

[Start ID. Two drawings of the same person, humanoid but with honey bee wings, antennae, and miscellaneous other traits. The first one was drawn December 25, 2020, two years ago, and the second is a redraw from just before the time of posting. In the first drawing, the person faces the camera, holding a cup of tea, posed against a blank background. She wears a fluffy top and boots, her entire character in golden tones. The second drawing keeps similarities with the first, but her vague outfit has been changed to a jacket and sweatpants, and she is waving to the viewer and smiling warmly, with the text "TWO YEARS" behind her in green. End ID)
Happy second anniversary-slash birthday, both to my first piece of digital art ever and to a beloved character and world.
(And thanks @ameliejoyart for making it happen. <3)
[Start ID. A drawing of a Hollow Knight vessel with a blue cloak and pink ruff, Mimic, on a dark blue canvas. They’re standing straight in the center of a leafy patch, lifting one arm to gaze contentedly at the butterfly-like Lifeblood creature perched on their hand. They seem rather peaceful. End ID]
DIDN'T REALIZE YOU SAID CHRISTMAS EVE AND NOT TODAY but I hope yesterday wasn't terrible and that this might serve as more than a distraction :)
Merry crimus if you celebrate it, and a good day to you if not!
YOOOOOO POG!!!!!! MIMIC MY LOVED!!!!
Also don't!! Worry I ran into my friend and we hung out. There was like.. four ppl shopping at a time so the manager let us just kinda hang out!
[Start ID. A drawing of the Pale King, Lurien, his Butler, Monomon, Quirrel, Hornet and Herrah on two couches by a fire, clockwise. On opposite ends of one couch Herrah and Monomon gesture vaguely as they talk to each other, the former with a joyful expression. Between them, Quirrel looks to the side at Hornet, who is playing with tinsel, its silvery other end wrapped around Herrah's horns. Further from the camera, Lurien listens to his butler, who's standing by the armrest. The Pale King leans against Lurien and the two are cloaked in a fluffy blanket. The drawing has a red tone, appearing to take place in a room of the eastern City of Tears, and is intended to feel like a fond memory. End ID]

[Start ID. A few uncolored sketches of a humanoid robot, with a head resembling an old tv and insect-like antennae, against a blank background. Their body is drawn in red, clothing in blue, and markings in green. They are more or less facing forward, though its upper body is twisted slightly to the side, so they’re looking somewhere above their raised arm. It features a number of markings, including icons for its favorite games, various hearts, and two across its chest that resemble stylized mastectomy scars. The robot is wearing a bandanna and a button-up shirt, but their body is visible underneath the lineart. End ID]
"the act of comparing autistic people to robots or depicting them as cold, emotionless, or subhuman is overused and problematic, robots/aliens shouldn't be the only characters we can relate to" and "ok but bots are cool and i wanna be one so bad" are two statements that can and should coexist
Forgot to plan something to write here, but here's @tired-t-rex 's Poppy!
@sofd-maybe if I had a nickel for every time I drew a cheerful green-veiled hk oc for someone way too cool to be a mutual of mine, I'd have two nickels, etc etc
Anyway! I adore Sylvie's design, even if I may have stretched it a bit with the orange. She's doin a little jig :)
shows up draws hornet or leif in vaguely cool pose and leaves
happy uhh. happy birthday Leif :)
[Start ID. A fullbody digital drawing of Leif, a moth from Bug Fables, in dark tones. He is standing with his wings partially splayed out. One arm is raised, and the other is obscured by a mass of glitching fungal tentacles that extend from a scar on his torso. He appears distraught or deeply fearful, with his eyes open wide and antennae lowered. Snowflakes gather around him, behind him are cordyceps motifs and a wall like one in Upper Snakemouth. End ID]
haven't drawn the bugs of fable in so long...
(feat. another rather static-y Swap AU Neo, from @professorneolith , because I still think it's a cool idea)
[Start ID. Two flat, unshaded drawings of Bug Fables characters on white backgrounds. The first is of Professor Neolith, a moth drawn in maple tones. He appears to be floating, with his legs bent and wings unused. One hand snaps, and his other palm faces the ground. He has a slight smile and seems altogether relaxed. A halo of electricity encircles him and two bolts extend from one hand. The second drawing depicts Leif, another moth, drawn in extremely bright colors. He is less relaxed, in the midst of a fight, with large spikes of ice circling around his feet. Two of his wings and his lower body splay outwards and to the left, and he is sharply bent at the waist, hunched over. One arm is raised, as though he was casting the ice magic visible below him. End ID]
my little sister made me a clay ghost...
Shes…
I am having (ideas/thoughts/brainrot) about this spider
Birthday gift for the wonderful @hollypies ! I really would've done something bigger, but didn't remember it was coming up for a while and I knew I'd be busy all weekend!
Anyway. Family :)
bonus
Updated Thorn's refsheet, as the old one quickly became obsolete and I needed a new one for Art Fight purposes!
Once again Mimic and Briar belong to @hollypies and @original-character-chaos ! Also one version without the cloak and one with the hex codes listed for eyedropping.
This Is What People Get For Being Nice To Me (part 1/??). Here's Drya for @enbeemerang / @vibecenter13
I meant to finish up more sketches for this but. Found out 4/5 of my favorite games have silent protagonists
Idk if anyone read this when I first posted it in December but uhhhhrhshcdhvvj
Gen/no warnings apply/general audiences and it's about post-ending Hive Knight!
Ah, hello Peri! You asked for HK OCs to draw, so here ya go! Sorry if ya didn't want any from me, the guy whose vessel ya recently drew!
Here's Mattick, the rat bastard. He enjoys tormenting Seer by just generally existing.
He's a beheaded ghost moth! The fire and eyespots are light blue, but other than that standard colors for his species!
They're pretty, no?
This turned out messy (ibispaint decided it would be funny to delete my entire lineart folder) and completely different than expected, but regardless he was really fun to draw and I think it turned out nice!
Three different versions:
Wrong colors from before I realized the fire was blue, one with the right colors and the same shading style, and a blue-focused one!
I couldn't finish the drawing I had of these guys that I started in May, so I made a simpler one!
Feat. vessels Mimic, Thorn, and Briar (left to right)! Thorn is mine and the other two belong to @hollypies and @original-character-chaos respectively!
You asked for Hollow Knight OCs to draw and I have a couple :D
On top is Bellsinger, a very brash, matter-of-fact dewdrop harvester who takes her job extremely serious, often preferring the quiet working hours to any social situation. Though, despite this and her lacking social skills and often uncaring demeanor, she deeply craves a strong emotional connection with someone.
At the bottom is Moulin, part of a far away butterfly tribe, filling out the role of ceremonial caretaker of the tribe's dead. She's quiet and reserved but shows a lot of compassion for the families in mourning. She's a woman of few words when working with and for the dead, only talking when she deems it necessary, but the exact opposite when outside the grave grounds and at gatherings of joy and celebration.
Sorry for the late answer, this took longer than expected!
Them!! I like these two a lot already and I had fun with the pattern of Moulin's cloak/wings!
My and @froggoexists' bug world has been around for one year today so a quick sketch and a dumb, quicker edit was the least I could do
