Day 22: Keralis!
Text:
“Information:
-fae folk
-jungle (next to a beach)
-shapeshifting
-travels with Xisuma and Wels
-the least suspicious one when interacting with others (ironically)”
I am so tiredddd…. Honestly? Surprised I even managed to finish this today. And ignoring his square chin (my friend told me he is more Minecrafty this way) I love his design.

Day 21: Xisuma!!!
Text:
“Information:
-Human (#####)
-lost most of his memories somehow (#######)
-on the run from someone who clearly wants him dead (####)
-travels with Wels and Keralis (########??)“
Another one of my favorites!!! And he happened to fall on my actual birthday as well so this is a gift for myself! Really, really happy with how he turned out. I’ve been working on this for three days now, trying to get some things right while also trying to not overwork myself.
I am also hoping to finish the introduction story to this au so I can post it on the last day of May, but we will see if I can manage that.
Anyway, enjoy translating everyone! :))
Closeups:
Day 20: XB!!
Text:
“Information:
-Fae folk
-water (either sea or big river)
-mirage
-used whatever he finds abandoned (that’s why he uses nets as clothing)
-keeps the waters of his home clean”
I actually know nothing about XB. Which is a tragedy honestly. All I know is that he is usually drawn as a guardian hybrid, which I’m sure has some story behind it but eh. I’m gonna find out sooner or later.
Anyway, ignore his arms. I realized too late that I messed up on the perspective (my biggest enemy). Other than that, I love what I came up with!
Closeups:
Day 19: Cleo!!
Text:
“Information:
-previous human
-cursed into what she is now
-witch
-necromancer magic
-part of Ren’s pack
-has a familiar”
I am exhausted after yesterday, and I still have one more party and a few more good cries to have.
But! I have so much lore around witches it is crazy. And familiars. But more on familiars in a few days. I can’t wait to actually start writing these stories, and fully talk about every bit of lore and world building I’ve done for this.
Closeups:
Day 18: Favorite build!
Rushed doodle my ass. I am a liar. Anyway, i still had time to finish Cleo for tomorrow, so I am back on track again!! And I absolutely love Grumbot!!
You can also see the other two ideas that I would have drawn if I would have had time.
Fun fact for you all! I am currently at the first of my two birthday parties! (Big day this year :D) This one is with family and the village that helped raised me. Next weekend will be friends. Full week for me! <3
Closeups:
Day 17: Ren!
Text:
“Information:
-shifter - wolf
-Prince
-on the run
-has the most unconventional pack there is
-not dumb, just oblivious sometimes”
I AM NOT LATE I HOPE!! I’ve been so busy I thought I wouldn’t have time to post this. 😭 I also fell behind on drawings so tomorrow is going to be such a quick doodle so I can get Cleo done by Monday.
But anyway! Ren is another one of my favorites and so, he has his own storyline! Just like Scar, and two more. :)
Closeups:
Day 16: Scar!!!
Text:
“Information:
-Fae folk
-forest
-silvertongue
-got tricked into a deal with a noble
-shown around like an exotic pet”
The arrow pointing at Scar: “Later in the story”
You didn’t think I’d make him this happy from the start right? I love the guy an unhealthy amount, which means he gets to suffer more than others. Also!! We have finally reached the point where I get to draw my favorites! (Zedaph, my boy why are you so far away??)
I guess it’s motivation to actually get through the month. Which: I have passed the halfway point!!! :D
Closeups:
Day 15: Jevin!
Text:
“Information:
-Fae folk
-swamp
-shapeshifting
-hasn’t left his swamp in a long time
-just wants a companion”
Never draw Jevin before. Never though about drawing him to look more human than slime either. Overall, not a bad look. And yes he is wearing pants over pants. Protection in the swamp I guess. I am also running out of position ideas, which is not a great thing.
Closeups:
Day 14: ZITS!!!!!! (Group/collab)
I LOVE THEM!! THE BOYS! THE GUYS!! <33
They are kids in ‘The magic in our souls’ in this one. Four very different people who would die for each other, even as little kids.
Closeups:
Day 13: Joel!
Text:
“Information:
-Human
-immune to all magic
-part of the Life Crew
-dating Lizzie since they were teens
-insults as a love language”
I almost forgot to post this. D:
Anyway, please ignore any grammatical mistakes that I’m sure I have made because something doesn’t sound right, but I could not care less to fix it.
Very basic Joel design but I think it somehow still fits. Besides, the fact that I have just copied his skin was great for my sleep schedule. (I need to stop drawing these after 11pm)
Closeups:
Day 12: Pearl!
Text:
“Information:
-Shifter - bird
-Parrot
-pirate
-part of the Life crew
-sees Grian like a brother and feels responsible for him”
Pearlypop! I am so proud of how easily I can draw wings now. And also, the little shoulder cape thingy- no clue what it’s called- really happy with it as well.
School has properly started again and I almost forgot about this, but hey! It’s here!
Closeups:
Day 11: Cub!
Text:
“Information:
-fae folk
-deep caves
-plant spread (skulk)
-sensitive to light and sounds
-pretty lonely”
Not very happy with him, but I think it’s okay. The next few are going to look probably worse than until now, but that is because I had a very busy weekend and I’m tired. Other than that, love this guy.
Closeups:
Day 10: Gem!
Text:
“Information:
-Shifter - fox
-assassin
-part of the life crew
-tried to kill Etho and then joined the crew
-twin: Fwhip”
My deadly cutie. Gotta say, I have been craving Empires smp for a while now, but I have no time to watch it again.
Closeups:
Day 9: Outfit swap!
On the left: Etho in Scar’s clothes
On the right: Skizz in Gem’s clothes
The only ones you will probably see colored, because I realized that the swap is so much clearer like this. Like you can actually see the different outfit. Also, worth mentioning, not part of my au.
Still, had fun with this one. :)
Closeups:
Day 8: Hypno!
Text:
“Information:
-Shifter-snake
-Hypnotizing-rattlesnake
-lives in the middle of a forest
-avoids humans
-uses his powers to steal from travelers”
He is actually the first person that wasn’t originally in the au! So, I had to brainstorm a design before actually drawing him. Overall, I really like the idea I came up with him. So much that I might actually put him in the actual story.
(I really talk a lot in these posts huh?)
Closeups:
Day 7: Bdubs!!
Text:
“Information:
-Fae folk
-sea side cliffs
-plant spread (moss)
-pirate (Life crew)
-part of Ren’s pack
- blessed by a sun god”
He is my absolute favorite yet. I mean, look at him!! I showed him to a friend and he answered with “he looks happy” and what did I say back?
“He is my happy little freak”
So that is what he is to me now.
Anyway, I can’t wait to actually have time to color them in. It will be great.
Closeups:
Day 6: Mumbo!
Text:
“Information:
-Human
-pirate
-Grian’s right hand man
-the sole reason the ship hasn’t fallen apart yet”
I actually love him? Like genuinely. While drawing him I also realized just how much I’ve been enjoying drawing so often, and how good I feel. So… thank you hermitaday for this challenge!
I have actually drawn Mumbo fully once before, and it didn’t look as good so this was basically a redraw of that.
Closeups (and original Mumbo drawing):
Day 5: False!!
Text:
“Information:
-Human
-part of Ren’s pack
-has worked for multiple kingdoms/people
-the sanest one of the pack”
She is a bit more colorful than any of my previous drawings this month, but mostly because it was shades of gray. And because the armor looked worse before. (Also, I got inspiration from a google photo, but I lost it).
Anyway, I realized I forgot my signature on the first four days! Ain’t that great?
Closeups:
Day 4: Alt hermit
Of course I had to go with evil Xisuma. I mean, have you seen the guy? Also, here is the text in a close up because I ain’t going to copy paste the galactic:
For the actual text:
“-Twin:
- hasn’t interacted with () in a LONG time”
You can do the rest of the work if you want to. If not, that’s okay.
Their closeup now:
Day 3: Tango!!
Text:
“Information:
-Shifter - bird
-Phoenix
-Ruler of a small kingdom (kind of)
-Seeking revenge for his childhood”
Some extra info for you all: depending on how angry he is the more his hair catches on fire and the darker the white of his eyes gets. Since right now he is almost always (at least) annoyed or irritated, it’s always a shade of grey and his hair is always blazing a bit.
Closeups:
Day 2: Grian!
My writing:
“Information:
-Shifter - bird
-Parrot
-pirate
-captain of ‘The Life’”
You don’t understand how much I struggled with his stance. And here I thought the wings will be hard.
But I actually like how he turned out!
Closeups:
Guess who is going to try Hermitaday May?That’s right, me!!
For those who can’t read my writing:
“Information:
-Demon
-born from a battlefield (war)
-his crystal is connected to electricity
-always seen with Skizz
-pirate (?)”
Now, rambles and closeups at the end:
I will try to get as far as I can this month, but considering that I have so many things to do and attend I might not be able to make it all the way. But it doesn’t matter, because I will try!
Now, more information on what I’ll be doing:
These are all going to be designs from an au I haven’t posted before (not here nor on ao3 though I have mentioned it once or twice). I have been working on it for a very LONG time, and I am really proud of it. So what better way to introduce it than by showing a lot of the characters’ designs?
And, lastly but not least: Me!!
Naya, in all her colorful glory.
Shapeshifter characters my beloved. :D
Reference from Pinterest, below:
Next on the agenda (and not late, shut up), merfolk Impulse and Skizz tails! Big version this time.
Also, a proper height chart:
Please, ignore the avatars I used for the three mers. Tango’s and Impulse’s kind of look like tails, and Skizz’s mimicked the wings things.
Hello!!! It’s officially been one year since I started posting on here!
Since I didn’t celebrate for my ao3 account, cause I forgot, and because I this is special to me, I am going to be posting today, tomorrow and Friday!
First of all, a Tango from the Tek variety! Left is the one I did this week, right is the first time I drew Tango and one of my first hermitcraft fanarts (from around four to five years ago I think)
I have finally colored these guys properly (the sketches are from a school notebook, so they are small)
Since there will be a year since a started posting my art soon, you will get bigger guys soon! (At least Impulse and Skizz)
Also, that is supposed to be Zed in Tango’s arms.
Double post today! (Just because I wanted to show off these two as well)
RenDoc from the Sea Monster Tango Au! This is a photo taken while they were still in college and technically has a continuation, but that will come later.
Happy Valentine’s Day to everyone!
I finally drew these two from Hermitcraft and not from my silly aus, and I’m so proud of them.
Zed is teaching him about something.
I’m back, once again with more Sea monster Tango, since I cannot get them out of my head.
