31 days of Hermit-A-Day May! (little guy edition)
This month has been very fun! I think drawing everyday has only made me less happy with the results but I still think I did something good for each day :)
I hope all of the little guys are as little as your heart desires and as sparkly as their teeny souls.
Live
Laugh
Love Little Guys
secret santa gift for @hopepetal :D
(designs by @applestruda)
This made me realize how behind I am on Jeopardy
(Kinda just wanted this drawing done cause annoying life stuff, so sorry for the rushed and lazy “shading”)
(Like how the poses turned out though)
so random question, what’s your favorite song?
also if you feel like drawing maybe team ZITS :D
Have a cuddle session!
And for the other part of the ask:
I’m the person who has current favorites and it changes a lot.
(Also warning, I don’t really follow the people, really just listen to the music. So if there is any drama around them, there is almost a guarantee that I do not know it)
Favorite bands overall:
-Rainbow Kitten Surprise
-The Crane Wives
Current band obsessions:
-Air Traffic Controller
-Caamp
Favorite songs overall:
-Conrad by Ben Howard
-Bring on The Dancing Horses by Echo & the Bunnymen
-(sooooo many more)
Current song obsessions:
-Dark Waltz by Tow’rs
-Jimmy’s Song by Air Traffic Controller
-Tooth and Nail by The Accidentals
-(again, sooo many more)
I could keep going, huge music person, apologies for the ramble :p
(Also fun fact: pretty sure I have my music taste to thank for me discovering hermitcraft and life series)
Very simple redraw I did of my first post I made on here, it was about 3 ish months ago, but man the difference, it hurts to look at the old one
Old version here (warning: it’s bad, like embarrassing bad, it hurts to look at, how was this only 3 months ago?)
Those phasmophobia streams are still some of my favorites
(Also kinda pleased with how Joker turned out cause I’ve never drawn him before, yet he got a bit covered up, sigh)
(Also also, weird drawing Skizz without wings, but again, I wanted the others to actually be seen)
Random doodles woo!
Recently watched Three Amigos and heard this line, knew what had to be done (this is my first time posting, I am terrified)
Edit: have a new (much better) version! Here
impulse, speaking plainly: Mommy.. don’t know daddy’s gettin hot, at the body shop doing something unholy. he sat back while she’s dropping it, she be poppin’ it, yeah, she put it down slowly
Wait dont forget Skizzes little buddy @imp-and-skizz-but-everywhere @impulsesv-but-everywhere
Fridge
So empty. Needs some more whereis blogs
I saw it in a dream
I did NOT edit the gif because I used the wrong skin for Ren and Secret Life Scar, I dont know what your talking about
Ok ok, you caught me, heres the original
Hey, If you like this meme gif i made, im making more, check these out
Next hermit was Impulse with the prompt of formal clothes so I drew his season 8 skin. I don’t really like how this drawing came out, but this was already the second attempt and I want to actually continue this series and not redraw the same hermit 50 times, so this is it! I still think it came out decent tho
This took me three hours wtf-
His last stand.
Voltron boatem AU!!!
Omg I love it
YIPPEE MORE THEORIES :D also love the "can skizzpulse kiss yet" lmao
Hypno - You're welcome for the boob window ;) I thought he deserved it after looking at all the fanart. And yes, it is an interesting trio! There's a lot of unique combinations of people in our stories, so it's going to be very fun to write, and hopefully fun to read, too.
Also, not going to say if the journal is for Skizz or if he plans to share it with someone else, but like. Ask yourself: would Skizz talk/write to himself? (the answer is yes, he definitely would)
Are survivors a threat?? Would they be harder to kill??? Why would Skizz be thinking about all that is the real question... >:)
Martyn - I love MartRenDoc as a poly trio, my beloved (and yes, they totally would fight over Ren lol, despite him having two hands). Martyn being a 3 IS interesting, isn't it? I wonder why Skizz would've gotten that impression... (aka, I'm not going to give you any hints, but I LOVE that you noticed and want you to keep noticing things)
Gem - She's a warrior :D I mean, she's called Geminislay for a reason lol, not to mention the protective family (Girldad impulse is my favorite <3) Also just always keep in mind that Skizz's notes are just HIS thoughts and are more than capable of being wrong :)
Cub - Enkay and I actually discussed the lils having things like glasses and clothes and decided that they only get them if the Hermit created them, so the Assistants don't get glasses because Cub hasn't made them any lol (there are lils that have accessories though, as you'll see later)
Those last sentences are actually a very specific and important interaction in the Hermit's perception of Skizz, btw :)
SKULK CUBBBBBBB!! I really wanted convex, but I also adore any and all skulk creatures, so we just decided he gets both :D He and Scar have a very specific (and angsty) backstory to explain some of their notes (and it may or may not have something to do with their strange interaction Skizz described). That'll all be revealed in time
Pearl - that last line SHOULD scare you, and imo gives some of the most insight into Skizz's thoughts compared to the other secret notes. What exactly it means, I'm not telling (mainly because Enkay is obsessed with secrets even though I wanna spill them aaaaaall)
Lil creation is not something that happens naturally, I'll tell you that much. There's a reason that everyone on Hermitcraft has one
Joel - Him calling all of them Jeremy is my favorite, no comment on the abilities thing, and yes, Joel would commit crimes if Skizz tried to touch his tail.
B - IS he planning on escaping??? Why would he mention escape?????? ooOOOoOOOOooo the questions.......! Anyways, Enkay and I are still working on the exact map of Hermitcraft, but while there are lots of woods, it's not *completely* surrounded by forest. there is water, idk why you would mention him flying though, Skizz doesn't have wings! :)
There will be Jimmy and Skizz interactions!! There's a lot that needs to happen before then, but it's coming :D
Who hurt him indeed....
---
Thanks you so much for your rambles!!! I adore them sooooo much, the theories make me so happy :D I feed off of people's thoughts and ideas
Lils au galactic translations and theories 2!
Here I am again, I will be translating days 8-14 of @enkays-den and @cannibal-walleye’s silly stupid lils au which I love dearly…
So, as usual, spoilers ahead, I don’t know if I’m gonna go in as much detail as last week’s, but we shall seeeeee
AO3 Link: https://archiveofourown.org/series/4663420
This group of hermits shows a bunch more relationships and oddities that Skizz is learning about, and we learn some… things about Mr. Enigmatic Skizzlypants
Can skizzpulse kiss yet
Day 8: Hypno
VI (6) Intentionally quiet, not shy.
A survivor in general, considering he sails and judging by the stories I heard.
Experienced with combat.
Don’t underestimate anyone here.
-First of all, love Hypno’s boob window Walleye that’s great
-Anyways, Hypno, Joey, and Joel is definitely an interesting trio. Is Lizzie an ocean creature? Maybe she follows them as they sail who knows
-I bet like… $2 that Joey’s first interaction with Skizz involved him flirting… it’s Joey c’mon
-“Don’t underestimate anyone here” is Skittle saying that to himself or does he intend to give this to someone for information? I’m probably overthinking it he’s probably just reminding himself but I’M JUST THINKING
-Are survivors a threat to Skizz? Harder to kill if he’s thinking of that…
Day 9: Martyn
III (3) very arts focused, no mention of fighting, but he definitely has a strong build from something.
Has a strong spirit, very confident.
No special abilities as far as I can tell.
-By the way Skizz writes the definition of polyglot down it makes me think he didn’t know the word beforehand, which it is a weird word so I guess if someone doesn’t know it that makes sense but Sizzle is Sizzle and I feel like he’d know that word… then again, I think too much.
-Ren, Doc, and Martyn are so silly, Ren has two hands and Doc and Marty will kill eachother for him anyway
-Martyn with a 3 is weird—but also, Skizz hasn’t seen any combat stuff from him. He may not know much combat or he does, and it might surprise Skizz at some point.
-“He definitely has a strong build from something” what does this man do… maybe it’s all the running around stage/j
Maybe he has some weird lore idk Martyn always has that stuff
Day 10: Gem
VIII (8) More skilled than Impulse in combat but no size or resistance advantage.
Probably not experienced in true combat.
Fae magic can only be used if making a deal, has no effect on combat.
Should be careful when speaking to her.
Can become small and easily sneak around.
Can probably fly.
Impulse would probably kill or die for her.
-Fae Gem! Even without her magic (as long as Skizz chooses his words carefully) she’s ranked pretty high!
-If Skizz wants to take out Gem, he has to deal with dad and sister uh ohhh
I love girldad pulse
-Also, by true combat Skizz means fighting for harm or death according to Enkay, so Skizz doesn’t think Gem would know much on actual killing
-Even with that she’s still an 8, maybe cuz she’s Imp’s daughter Skizz thinks that she is very formidable (she probably is)
Day 11: Cub
VI (6) Seems pacifist, reported to not leave his lab very much.
Nevertheless, intelligent and perceptive.
Unknown how skulk infection could augment or disable vex powers.
Him and Scar kept asking very specific questions and looking at each other when they thought I wasn’t looking. I can’t tell if it’s because of whatever they think my history is or they’re suspicious.
-I love the stupid assistant doodle, I thought it deserved glasses (Enkay was HATING on it (meanie)/silly but I think it looks even more like it’d piss off Skizz)
-For the last sentences, I think scar was just being snoopy and a little suspicious but cub was really trying to figure out what Skizz’s deal was
Or they were actually both on the same page but who knows with the Convex boys
-I love skulk Cub
-Skizzy Wizzy doesn’t know what a firework is presumably, so we need a scene of Skizz seeing a firework show maybe that would make him less suspicious (or more because oh my god they have multicolored fire shooters or smth)
-We’ll see if Skizz ever learns the skulk history, whether that’s Cub’s personal history with the stuff or the actual history of skulk (assuming Skizz again does not know what it is) idk-
Day 12: Pearl
VII (7) Skilled in combat in human form.
Wolf form very large, strong, and fast. Smelling and hearing.
Maybe enhanced senses in human form.
Impulse would probably kill or die for her.
I don’t think I could hurt either of them.
-So the last line… it scares me, because either Skizz likes the daughters and doesn’t want to hurt them, OR because Impulse will kill for them, he can’t touch them
I told this to Enkay and just got-
Evil
-From “I’m not sure what their exact ages are, since they have lils” I don’t know if this has been addressed and I’ve definitely not been told, do lils like… spawn at a certain age? Or do you just gain the ability to summon some at a certain age? Interesting… so if you don’t make it past like age 20 you can’t come back! Dead and gone loser LMAO
-I love the Poppyseed doodle, since these notes are in like ink or pencil or something I wonder if Enkay just doesn’t erase any mistakes, makes it more authentic Skizzy that way
Day 13: Joel
VII (7) Genuinely confident in his abilities.
Strong build, plus sailing requires being good at a lot of different things.
No visible powers, but tanukis are known for having special abilities of any kind.
-As an avid Joel fan (even though I do not talk about him ever) I love the singular Jeremy he would definitely do that
They look like a Jeremy anyway
-I wonder if Joel does have any powers, or if he is just good at combat enough to compensate for that. But Skizz does say that tanukis can have special abilities—whatever they are—so we shall see
-Swizzle I think if you ever touched Joel’s tail he would just try to murder you LOL
Day 14: B
VII (7) Non combatant, usually only in or near the forest and easy to keep an eye on, but still great for spying.
Don’t think the cookie thing was a poisoning attempt, they already knew my allergies by then.
How many creaklings are in this area?
Sprites are very small, again a good spy.
Don’t escape through the woods.
-Skizz planning on escaping at some point? Or is it if he needs to escape, don’t go through the woods? I don’t know the map of the hermit settlement but I feel like there would be woods all around. Probably if skizz needed to escape, his best bet would be the water or even flying out.
But he doesn’t need to escappeeeee idiot…
-I hope there’s a chapter in the fic with lots of Jimmy Skizz interactions cuz he keeps talking about him and I love Jimmy and Skizz
-B’s lils are so cuteeee stupid spider
-Skizz is always gonna be edge around the forests- maybe he’ll try to talk to B? I hope so I love them
-Dude why would the cookie be a poisoning attempt who hurt you Skizzy
Andddd that’s it-
Uhhhhhhhh oh my gosh I RAMBLED sorry guys that’s a lot- uhhhhhhh hopefully I’m not boring…
Skizz what is UP with you
ANYWAYS hope you enjoyed! I’m excited and scared for these next few ones…
Cya in 7 days!
I am going to EXPLODE THEM WITH MY MIND
Zedaph: We are sitting [in the wrong order] for ZITS
Tango: should have reorganized us
Impulse: yeah I thought about that, switching you two. But then y'know (impulse gives skizz a little fond touch) Imp and Skizz would be split up, we can't have that.
Skizz: we can't, this is the way it's always been
Source: Imp And Skizz Podcast: ZITS Reunion!
Day 12: Pearly Pop!!
The third and final member of the soup group! And as such, I can finally release the full photo from Skizz's journal :D
This is the first drawing I did for this challenge, so I'd redo a few things in hindsight, having finished many since then, but I still love it! lmk what you guys think, and, as always: All journal posts, @hermitadaymay fundraiser post, and go follow @enkays-den for all the hard work they do!! + click to see our fic ao3
Thank you, @/Enkay Designs for the support on kofi !
AAAAAH I'M SO EXCITED TO READ THISSSSSSSS
ok first impressions, I love the distinctions you made between galactic and english writing and why it exists, as well as notes on the purpose of the journal. I'm so happy you're thinking so deeply about all this!!! "The more silly comments are in English, so Skizz knows that if someone does get ahold of the book that they’ll be reading the English portions" is such a great piece of analysis. (Also right off the bat, Skizz seems VERY lonely/paranoid from your descriptions lol)
Impulse - great ideas on why Skizz wrote that, not gonna confirm or deny bcuz it's spoilers, but great theories...
Tango - no particular thoughts, but you analyzing Skizz's analysis is making me happy wiggle in my seat :P
False - "WHAT DID IMPULSE DO TO GET A 9 WITH THE SWORDFIGHTING 4 ARMS LADY??" evil cackling >:))))) Also love that you're comparing ratings between the hermits and why Skizz might've given those
Mumbo - also love that you're thinking about the hermits as a community and not just them as individuals with the redstone thoughts + noting that Skizz comes from a very different place from Hermitcraft. Also interesting to me that you notice Skizz's familiarity with shulkers (side note: we have the most interesting shulker lore in this that will probably never be discussed, but still makes me happy)
Thank you so so much for your thoughts! I eat them up like they're the most scrumptious dessert :3
Also: All journal posts, if anyone's interested
Have good day <3
Galactic translations and theories of lils au
Hi! I will be translating and theorizing @enkays-den and @cannibal-walleye’s lils au posts at the end of every 7 days :)
AO3 Link: https://archiveofourown.org/series/4663420
So, let’s start for the first 1-7 days!
I will also say that I am a beta reader for this au, am in a gc with the two of them, and I don’t know if I know information that the public isn’t supposed to know… so if you see this and I say something and enkay/walleye don’t shoot me down before it’s too late uhhhh congrats!
I entered this au wanting Skizzpulse kissing and here I am… they hate eachother/silly
This is also my first time ever making a tumblr thread like this, so if it’s messy I’m sorry :,(
Spoilers if you want to translate days 1-7 on your own
I’ll do a summary here on what I think these journal pages are exactly
The general thought of these galactic messages are that Skizz is analyzing how much the hermits are threats to him, depending on their abilities, and he is most likely preparing if he needs to ever fight them. Knowing how they are and their strengths and weaknesses are probably the only way he can beat them if he has to.
It’s a journal but it’s also maybe a strategy guide, so Skizz knows as much as he possibly can about each hermit.
He intends for only himself to be reading it, so hopefully no one gets ahold of his journal and knows galactic, maybe it’s a prominent language from where he is from.
The more silly comments are in English, so Skizz knows that if someone does get ahold of the book that they’ll be reading the English portions
Skizz’s true thoughts/analysis is in galactic though.
Skizz is on high alert, no one is truly a friend in his mind, no matter how nice they seem.
Day 1: Impulse
IX (9) very tall, can fly, extremely heat resistant
Can shed disguise instantly.
Armourer
Axe and sword proficiency
Taught daughters how to fight.
In human form he is unarmoured could have demonic traits without the form.
Tail and talons and horns human form.
He can hurt me.
-The thing that prompts “He can hurt me” is probably on the way back to the hermit settlement thing imp and skizz run in to something/someone and they aren’t friendly, impulse kicks their ass
Alternatively, Skizz is generally scared of Imp cuz of what he’s learned of him so far
Impulse could have some talent that he shows off at some point that scares Skizz
This is just guessing tho idk-
-From these first days I’m PRETTY sure the first letters are Roman numerals for the threat/strength level of the hermit, so there will be numbers next to them.
Day 2: Grian
V (5) can fly, seems to be very agile in the air.
Others complain that he starts wars, presumably not real ones, but seems to be a menace for sure.
Likely a decent fighter.
Sneaky, impulsive
Day 3: Tango
V (5) Heat resistant, not to the extent of Impulse.
Very smart, but does not seem like a strategist.
Not very confrontational.
Despite his attitude, seems unlikely to initiate combat.
-The fact that Skizz says “strategist” instead of like “strategic person” makes me think that Skizz is grouping all the hermits together like they’re an army.
Ex: strategist tango, fighter false, etc
-“Unlikely to initiate combat” also adds to this
Day 4: Jimmy
III (3) Doesn’t seem like a fighter, no significant muscle definition, all bark no bite.
Taller than average, can fly.
Learning the ropes, so he’s not experienced.
Very loud voice, could easily warn others if he needed help.
Day 5: False
IX (9) Twice the arms, twice the danger.
Extremely skilled with weapons and fighting.
May have teleporting and night vision depending on how any end abilities she has. Not that she would tell me if she did.
Uses elytra but is probably very good at flying from all the tests.
X openly said she’s a good fighter. Is this a warning?
-Poor Skizz is realllyyyy on edge, I bet X was just very proud of False and just told Skizz that just to do it. But Skizz thinks he has an ulterior motive-
-The fact that both Impulse (who what we’ve seen so far of him in the actual fic, seems less than a 9) and False (who has 4 arms and amazing fighting skills) are both 9, what makes a 10?
-WHAT DID IMPULSE DO TO GET A 9 WITH THE SWORDFIGHTING 4 ARMS LADY??
Day 6: Mumbo
V (5) depends on phantom traits but even then they’re not that powerful.
Don’t sleep around him.
Very smart but not a fighter.
Smarts seem more technical than strategic.
His flight ability has no physical limitations like the elytras or winged hermits.
I wonder if he can tire out.
-This is a note from the whole page, Skizz comes from somewhere (world? universe?) that doesn’t have redstone. Either the hermits are rich, their land is rich, or Skizz’s old world specifically just didn’t have it.
Skizz’s old world had shulker boxes but not redstone, though maybe getting shulker boxes/pouches are easier in the lils universe
-Also, the scribbled out part was confirmed by Enkay to be Skizz crossing out sprites, and
I find it cute that Skizz is starting to use their phrasings :D
I may see if I can timeline it like which was the first entry which was the last and which are kinda in the middle. But who Skizz meets in what order could already be answered in future lils chapters, no clue, and it does seem like a lot of work but I have it noted down here sooooo maybe.
Day 7: Bdubs
IV (4) literally not a worry at night.
Aggressive personality but doesn’t seem like a fighter.
Don’t know if his abilities are different to a classic tree dryad.
His sprites like to spy.
-Bdubs’s lils are the biggest threat of Bdubs LOL
-On a less angsty note, love the thought of the army of impys and clocks following skizz
And that is all!
This is an amazing series and I love talking to Walleye and Enkay about it bec it’s loreful, angsty, and silly at the same time very cool stuff :)
See you in the next 7 days :D
Theoretically, if I started doing commissions (art and potentially writing), would people be interested in that? Idk how much I'd charge yet, but here's some examples of my art + link to my writing to help decide:
More examples under the cut! Varying backgrounds, shading, styles, etc.
Presenting Hermit-a-Day-May #1: Impulse!
This is a page from Skizz's notes on the Hermits, from mine and @enkays-den's Lils Universe. Explanations under the cut from me and Enkay! There's a lot of lore and worldbuilding going on >:)
Hello! Welcome to a special edition of Hermit A Day May! We’ll be posting little bios that Skizz has made of all the Hermits in our Lils Universe story. The entries you see are a few weeks ahead of where the story is at the moment, but we don’t care, we just want to share these awesome designs and give you a taste for what’s to come! Walleye did the art and some writing, Enkay did a big chunk of the writing and all the page layouts, as well as the doodles of @hybbart's Tamacrafters designs, or Lils as they’re called in our story! (though, Skizz calls them soul sprites)
This is technically a sneak peek into the world building we’ve been creating for the past few months, which is honestly one of the reasons that our projects have been kinda inactive lately. Each journal page has Skizz's notes on the Hermit and their Lil, part of a photo, and some secret text written in Galactic. The full photo will be released after all the people in it have had their day
If you want to see these as they come out, follow Walleye, as all the posts will be on their account! Also, GET READING!!!!!
And if you want to speculate on the content of these pages, please do so in Walleye's inbox, and we’ll get back to you! As long as they’re not super major all time big big BIG spoilers ;) Any interaction is welcome, be it questions, ramblings, theories, or even your thoughts on the ✨secret text✨ if you have any!!
Anyways, gotta go, we’re DESPERATELY trying to assemble all of these pages so that they’re released in time! Each has taken quite a while, so we hope you enjoy them :D
Here's our link to the series on ao3 and @hermitadaymay for the event
augh theyre so small and adorable I'm in loveeee
so ZITS played Chained Together
Guys I wrote some Skizzpulse
unexpected, I know
here's the link again, it's short and sweet, just them on their first date. Impulse is very stressed and Skizz is a very good (boy)friend <3
may make art for it later, we'll see
you always have the best skizz pics, so I gotta know… do you have any good screenshots of when skizz was wearing glasses during the charity drive?
Of course I'm gonna take this excuse to scrub through the footage of Skizz looking hella suave and sexy in his glasses (so honored whenever anyone compliments me on my screenies and clips <3)
also bonus doofus skizzes
IMPULSE VS JIMMY IN TORTILLA SLAPPING!!!
feat skizz surprising impy with a rouge slap lmao
