RIDE THE CYCLONE SPOTTED?????
THIS IS SO SCRUMPTIOUS
The Ballad of Pearlescentmoon
5 AM Pearl (w/ Tilly)!!!
Double Life will always be special to me because of HER <3
( PLEASE do not look too long at Tilly idk how to draw wolves... (T ^ T))
COSMIC LIFE
Grian: Sun (Grian = sun in Irish, plus the desert is sunny)
Scott: Stars (Starborne origin in Origins SMP, just generally fits the theme, the things around his head look kinda like stars)
Pearl: Moon (PearlecentMoon. It's in the name)
Martyn: Mars (Martyn means 'Dedicated to Mars'. Mars is the Roman god of war and Martyn won by fighting a lot)
Scar: Comet (Came second in 3rd life and has come back and won secret life, like how comits orbit(?))
Gem: Jupiter (Astrologically, Jupiter is the planet of luck (among other things), and Gem had very good beginners luck. The colour scheme also fits)
Jimmy: Pluto (hard to make aliances when you are always out first, and pluto is distant from the other planets. Not seen as the same as the rest, like Jimmy because he's always out first. Pluto is the Roman god of the underworld and Jimmy always(ish) dies first. Pluto is small and Jimmy is a toy (which are small). Small is also associated with weak and Jimmy is always out first which is associated with weakness)
Mumbo: Earth (Has a sort of grounding personality, 3rd out in SL, and earth is the 3rd planet from the sun. Also, mounders)
Cleo: Black hole (Black holes are scary and Cleo is scary. Black holes are also dead stars and Cleo is 'ZombieCleo')
Etho: Ether (Scientists in the 19th century believed the Ether to be a universal substance that made up the universe (or ssomething along those lines) tying into the fact that Etho had a big impact on Minecraft from the early game which is still prominant to this day. The theory was also made a long time ago tying into the fact that Etho started YT and his channel blew up earlier than most, and the fact that he is the OG Minecrafter.
Lizzie: Saturn (Married to Joel, and Joel is Saturn's asteroid belt/rings)
Joel: Saturn's asteroid belt (Married to Lizzie and Lizzie is Saturn)
Bdubs: Blanet (Stays around Cleo, who is the black hole. Blanets are also small and Bdubs is short)
Tango: Venus (Venus is the hottest planet. Tango's skin is fiery themed and most fans imagine his hair as being on fire)
Impulse: Pulsar (a pulsar is a small, dense ball of neutrons that sometimes happens when a big star dies. Beams that come from this pulse at regular intervals, like a drumbeat, and Impulse plays the drums. Also, Im-pulse, and Pulsar are similar, and Pulsar means pulse in Spanish (and some other languages) which is the last part of Impulse's name)
BigB: Event horizon (An event horizon is the point of no return from a black hole, and cleo and bigb's alliance was at a point of no return after Bigb's boogie kill. Event horizons are also round-ish like cookies)
Skizz: Meteor (Rushed in and got himself killed in 3rd life + last life, and meteors are rocks that get into the earth's atmosphere and sometimes crash into it)
Ren: Dark matter (Shadow alliance. He was also missing for two consecuitive seasons (LimL and SL) and dark matter is kinda mysterious)
This was worked on by me and various other members of the r/hermitcraft discord, and is also being posted here and in other social media platforms by several of us
Chibi style(it's relaxing)
Tilly Death Do We Part
Time laps + little ramble under cut
Time laps (warning bright flashes)
Time laps is 30 seconds
I made this because I was like “what if double life was set in Pokémon,” then I thought “Tilly would definitely be a lycanroc.” I would have made her night form but I actually think night time lycanroc is hard to draw and too ugly to spend that much time on (you can see at the beginning I was planning on drawing Pearl with all three forms) Despite that choice this drawing took an 1 hour and 30 minutes. I have other in my head but I not sure if I’m going to make them.
Tango Tek?? Slaying??? 😦😦 Yes. Yes he is.
Idk I just did that Jimmy art and I was like I haven’t drawn tango in awhile so here is the other half of the ranchers 😭
Double Life Grian Design
I am pushing that goat/bird hybrid agenda. @/LoacalWheel on twitter and YouTube inspired me to give Grian horns because of their super cool desertduo animatics!! Go check them out.
This drawing took me 49 minutes, I did it in a car ride with my fingers!! Btw j accidentally gave him a huge forehead but it’s fine
Double Life: Are We FRIENDS?!
5/6 of my PearlescentMoon Double Life Thumbnail series for my Illustration class. As both episode 5 and 6 were finished the last two weeks of college, I needed a bit more time to place the final touches! Episode 5 had perhaps the most concept sketches, but I ended up painting the tnt trap.
Each illustration is sketched in red colored pencil, colored with watercolor and gouache, and lined with red ink. For this project, I focused on different coloring and shading techniques.
Double Life: Work In Progress
A small look as I put the final details of illustration 5/6 of my PearlescentMoon Double Life Thumbnail series.
Double Life: Umm… Opps?
4/6 of my PearlescentMoon Double Life Thumbnail series for my Illustration class. Episode 4 has the most difficult pose of all the thumbnails (as my professor would fondly remember), but I love the final result.

Double Life: Complete CONFUSION
What’s this? A double life anniversary? Seems a perfect time for another thumbnail then!
3/6 of my PearlescentMoon Double Life Thumbnail series for my Illustration class. Episode 3 was full of so many fun moments, but I really wanted to paint Revenge. I also love the composition, as Pearl is between Scott and Cleo’s house!

Double Life: Far Too COLD!!
2/6 of my PearlescentMoon Double Life Thumbnail series for my Illustration class. Episode 2’s thumbnail is one of my favorites, thank you to (youtuber/artist) GenrihG for inspiration!

Double Life: New Chaos Begins!
1/6 of my PearlescentMoon Double Life Thumbnail series for my illustration class. It was one of my final projects of the semester, so I’m excited to finally share it.

(I also wanted to highlight different story elements from each episode! So episode one showcases the ✨ nether ✨)

Day 4: Bound - Pearl and Scott (soulbound)
A sketch today bc this would take so long to finish and I couldn't figure out how the heck to do the lineart. All in all though, pretty happy with the faces and movement, and maybe someday I will finish it :D
HII for your requests box might I request a double life pearl or a secret life gem ? 🤲 please and thank you. Also you have such a lovely art style !
she deserves to be a little wild since the last time i drew her i made her sad
i had fun with this one, hope you like it!
i want to give double life!pearl a hug
pspsps another drawing request! my dearest scarlet pearl perchance?
I spent so long trying to fix the colours because the colours would become duller when i made it a png
If your requests are still open can you please draw the ranchers? Thx :D
they mean so much to me <3
doublelife! desertduo realness
Desertduo designs to celebrate season 3 >w<
i wanna make a post one day explaining this in full detail but tldr headcanon each soulbound pair has a connecting accessory that signifies the other/their relationship >Grian’s soulbound accessory is a pair of handcuffs (which in game is represented by the fishing rod that he uses on scar in session 1). He can grab a hold of things with the free side of the cuff but cannot remove the handcuffs from his person >and Scar’s soulbound accessory is the key that connects to the Grian’s handcuffs (not represented by anything but he wears it like a necklace)
