Flug - Blog Posts

was told on twt that I should make more art without Flug...

paperhat so nice... but without Flug pls

it would be so good if there was less Flug...

ok! do you guys think I did it right? you can be honest😔

Happy Belated Birthday 🎂 🥳 ;~; i truly hope it was a wonderful day and it keeps being wonderful for the rest of the year and so on!!! 🧡🩷💛💚💙🩵💜🤎🖤🩶🤍

AHHH THANK YOU SO MUCH💜🩷💚

I'm missing some comments sometimes, the notifications are rolling so fast;; I'll need to take some time to go back to it soon. wish I could reply to your tags often too agsjshd they always make me so happy, that's the highlight for me when I throw my art here🥺 2024 was an amazing year! was my first good adulthood birthday and one of the best in my life too

I wish you only the same for this year and all following ones🫂

here's a Flug from smth I'm working on. idk what he's doing but he's questioning everything

my greatest achievement of my life is that Flug's english VA is my mutual (I can't believe it with my weird ahh art)

Stretch marks

Flug freaking out about them and eventually loving himself.

Paperhatober Day 18: Space🪐

What do you mean "yet", Flug, you're like 8 months...

Paperhatober Day 17: Mouth

Flug is gonna get his fingers chomped off... for science!🧪

(I hope I'm not annoying you with all the questions? It's just sometimes I want to know stuff about.."how is flug trans"?) (No hate to the trans head Canon. I also like flug being trans, But in my au I kinda keep it Canon, well some of it.) flug in my au is bi or pan(idk if he's canonly pan or bi)and he's dating void my oc (now I'm just going to say. I don't hate paperhat but in my au black hat was kinda toxic to flug so hes with void now.)

(Question time)

Are the spawn/eggs in his belly or something?

(that's all i got) have a good day/afternoon/night.

People basically just project everything onto their fav characters from what I've learned. that's the answer to most "why/how?" questions, nothing deeper.

I'm trans... so Flug is trans. I'm with you on the bi hc too.

makes sense for him in particular too tho so it's a really common headcanon. a lot of trans guys are quite thin/lanky/nerdy (if that is a body type? haha) bc they either don't want hormones, don't have access to them yet etc... He always covers himself, which could suggest that he hasn't had top surgery yet for example... his posture might suggest that too. he covers his face which is smth a bunch of trans guys would probably do bc either our face or voice doesn't let us pass quite yet. some ideas but idk why he is just trans-coded??? you just look at him and his behavior and think "yep, trans guy"

and I mean... yeah where else.

I feel like if Black Hat put his eggs in Flug by mouth he'd probably have to spit them back up like a snake when they're ready. if they do it the traditional way they'd just be in his womb (if he's trans) and he'd give birth to them like humans do. human babies are in a small sac too that usually always pops before/during birth but there have been a few documented cases of a baby being born within its intact sac. they don't start crying until it gets opened actually.

Black Hat's eggs are soft-shelled until they're out too

I just love drawing him pregnant! I'm planning my own family and it's relevant to my life, comforts me

wanna be happy

Hello your paperhat arts give me life and your Flugs are so good and also your art style in general is just perfect in every single way.

it's inspired by the vibe of the song "piu piu" by lulu feat. TJ_beastboy

what's your process for coloring and shading? I'm a beginner when it comes to those elements with art and I'm super inspired by your artstyle! <3

well I'd say there isn't really a process behind it!

I'm very simple. bc I quickly get overwhelmed by ADHD.

I line my sketch... and then I bucket-tool fill it with the canon eyedropper-picked colors... and then I throw some cell shading on there. on the exact same layer.

I got 2 layers; lines, and colors.

since it's a cartoon character you'll wanna keep it simple and limit the amount of colors you use to 1-2 shades for any surface max. even the shading color is actually just color picked off canon screenshots. I don't use layer modes.

the only tip I can give is to not put all the shading just on the edges of everything. use big shapes, be confident, don't blur or airbrush it if you don't know what you're doing with those tools. triangle shapes are especially nice for clothes.

think of where exactly the light source comes from before starting to shade/render, if necessary literally draw a small lamp into the corner.

the magic in my art comes from duplicating and Gaussian blurring my lineart and the particular settings I use to adjust the colors with Correction Layers (in CSP. if curious I could simply give out all of my exact settings here or you're freely allowed to color pick off my art, no credit since I don't own colors.) trust me you don't wanna see my art without those tweaks

here's a doodle of Flug with TJ_beastboy's tats

Thank you💜💛

CAP DOWN

Ich bin weder ein Engel noch wachsen mir auf meiner Stirn zwei Hörner

please more fat flug please please please please please pl

here's an older sketch that is kinda cute

I'm gonna use this opportunity to package some current news in the tags here;

i don’t know who this flug guy is but i need him

Dr. Flug is an [not canon, but basically-] autistic mad scientist who works for the embodiment of evil. he's a very nervous, short tempered and highly emotional nerd, is frequently being an arrogant smartass, talks way too much and suffers from crippling anxiety. will just actually go insane without a strict plan and a plan for that plan. likes to torture/experiment on people and build model planes in his free time (the plane thing is a special interest) also kinda acts like a dad for one of his experiments. committed 82,602 crimes. is deadly afraid of sandwiches. his flirting attempts would include him comparing you to a plane.

he's a lovely silly. absolutely fell in love with this man. we all need him.

if you wanna watch the show he's from; it's called "Villainous" and you can find the first 6 episodes on HBOmax or you can watch the early shorts and orientation videos on Youtube

Happy Birthday @locaboa99 💜

thank you for your support all the time, your comments/tags keep me going and inspire me🙏🏻🧡 have a great day! whipped up a kinda possessive Black Hat taking care of a preg Flug as you wished so I hope you're extra happy seeing my art today🙂‍↕️

Build-A-Flug(?)

Love you art. My favorite thing is definitely your coloring. Flug does give t boy swag. Hope to see more of your drawing soon. Out of curiosity what do you hope for season 2?

Thank youu🥺💜

I know what you meant but just the entire term "T boy swag" reminded me of my fav rapper who just goes by "T" and since I wanted to do that for a while anyway (his songtexts would resonate with Flug so much) I used this as an excuse to redraw one of his album covers, so I love that, I'm gonna steal that heheh

(relatively unrelated for everyone except me lol but I always throw in some art when replying to asks)

umm yeah so... we're not even done with the first season, so idk. from S1-B I predict more of what we've had so far; more or less episodic comedy, slowly easing us into a connected plot. 6th episode already kinda introduced that.

it's gonna be one of those cartoons like TOH who start off silly and episodic in the first season and develop into a melodramatic serialized show from 2nd season onwards.

this is going to be an unpopular opinion but I actually do not 100% vibe with that, I prefer episodic cartoons like SpongeBob or South Park without overarching plot; comedy over drama. but it was always obvious that Villainous is gonna have a fuck ton of lore so I'm not disappointed.

my criticism rn is that I feel it's already way too many characters I'm sorry. it's getting pretty convoluted. I'm just not a fan of that but again pretty subjective. I can't bring myself to care for absolutely any character that we haven't seen animated yet. it's been too long for me to throw too many new characters in the mix, I've been nonstop hyperfixated since 7 years so I'm skeptical about changes.

as for the plot, I have no idea. we're in so early that I can't even imagine where this is gonna go.

for the end I wish that no ship with the main 3 becomes canon. it's just going to create fandom wars, just leave it open

I just want to see Flug happy...

I'll always just hope to get as much information about Flug as possible

definitely hope they explore Miss Heed's character too, as long as she doesn't end up with Flug l'm interested in her. I would like to see her getting worse (maybe switching sides?) before finally healing and learning to love herself

I want to know more about Goldheart and consequently about Flug's past

I wish for Demencia to snap out of her brainwash some day and learn about her past. I need Flug and Demencia to become real good friends and escape together with 505. I do NOT want them to become heroes but in order to find true happiness and peace they'll have to leave this place imo

but I think most of that is WAY in the future, this won't all happen in the 2nd season. but idk how long this series is gonna be, I doubt the crew even knows, so ye!

I can not believe im asking you this but I saw a post about flug having eggs or something? Is that like mpreg? I kinda know what it means bc I've seen sans au x sans au before. But whats with the eggs? Im not offending you its just idk that much in mpreg and i also don't draw any of it. (This is not to offend anyone im just curious.)(also love how you draw flug Hes my favorite character.)

Haha yeah it kinda is! I made a few arts this year where Flug takes care of eggs.

Don't worry you're just curious, that's cool💛 I don't feel offended

there's no other thing I get as many requests for as for mpreg with Flug so I feel like it's a good time to say:

I know it's called mpreg in fandom terms, but I for one don't even think of it as that inherently suggestive trope; I genuinely just think it's cute and silly. pregnancy is a beautiful thing in my eyes, and not a kink for me personally. there's no issue with it, but I'm saying that's just not my motivation. I headcanon Flug is a transman who still wishes for an own baby, like me. it's kinda coping for me to draw Flug going thru smth I wish for irl as well. I relate to him bc he's taken on such a good parent role for 505

this reasoning is gonna be super rare, most people who enjoy/draw this explicitly do NOT want children irl. idk why others draw it tbh... but this is just me.

so the reason I usually always choose eggs is bc I mostly draw the paperhat ship... and since Black Hat seems to have more reptile or insect features I figured his offspring would probably grow in eggs instead of live. he's basically an alien, right

you can canonly have Black Hat's offspring! in the old orientation video on youtube "Los casos perdidos del futuro" exactly at minute 7, Demencia hints to the fact that by drinking his saliva you can have his spawn.

they never actually showed anyone doing that but I'm just assuming they'll come in eggs.

his spawn does not look like this^, Alan has drawn it in a livestream; it's just an eldritch clump of eyes, teeth and tentacles on the floor. in reality Black Hat is the only one of his species and he's unable to create another independent sentient creature like him.

so I drew what I imagine them looking like if he could (a lot of people asked for that anyway)

Thank you for loving my art💜
