Summer Toys
It’s summer and you know what the best way to beat the heat is: (Honestly just be inflatable) be at the beach! (Or a pool, I guess)
The aim was to get this done sooner but I maaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaybe overestimated how much work it’d take XD

Character Wheel
I’m sure most people who have a holiday don’t immediately make a warm up project that is A Lot but I did!

You’ll have likely seen the colour wheel meme going around on social media where people ask for characters to match the character on the wheel but I didn’t want that pressure so just did my own characters… And then I wanted to animate it in a little GIF form so you can easily see the upside down characters…
Before realising that’s 8 characters you have to draw DO you silly thing. Because I was aiming to go with the animation that did mean that I was therefore deliberately going to limit myself to make this easier to do… And THEN I decided to make them approximately the correct height relatively. I am a fool.
This post is about to get LONG so be warned 🙂
Pride (2022 ver)
I’d not done anything for pride in a few years, partly ‘cus I generally felt I was too behind on stuff and then June snuck up on me but this year I decided “Oh hey I best do it this year”.
Technically this was hinted in Subtle, it was indeed deliberately subtle. But before I get on to that, I still really love the idea of sticking stickers that wash off over time without damaging the magically animate and unpoppable inflatable toy etc. etc.
Hence the pride stickers. ANYWAY what was Subtle about?
Late Jan/early Feb I’d been ruminated on the hit topic we all know and love. Gender. Or, ironically, a lack of one. It’s something I’ve been thinking on for a while ‘cus boy howdy it sure is a strange coincidence that I keep making self-characters that are masc but also not really attached to being specifically male. Even the Obstagoon is SUPER masc but I don’t really consider them male.
Technically the correct term here probably would be “demiboy/guy/man” (as in, someone who feels male sometimes and other times not). But you know what gave me gender euphoria and what didn’t? Agender and demiboy respectively. So I followed the good chemicals and wow internal validation????????
“What does this mean for peeps though? New pronouns?” NOPE 😀
A lot of this is internal validation, they/he still works for me and I have no specific preference on which one. Boy howdy that’s convenient!
But you know, it’s good to finally bite and be open about it in a less subtle way :B

Just a DO
Being subtle (and maybe a little smug) about self-discovery

Beachside Cone
Just a chill toy enjoying summer vibes.
It probably can’t “eat” the ice cream but it’s enjoying the experience nevertheless, even if it’s not actually lapping up any on it’s tongue and just smudging the ice cream around as it melts :B

DarkOverord (Inflatable) 2020 Reference
Finally getting round to this. This reference was the only one I hadn’t redone as it was “fit for purpose”. Honestly very little has changed but it’s nice to have this up to date at least!

I had intended on finishing this sooner in the August but it was *A Month* for me

In Space, No One Can Hear You Onomatopoeia
This started out as random DO floating, then kinda just built from there, a tank, TF-y things, etc.
Eventually a BG was added because I had the title of this post stuck in my head and honestly, the amount of times I willingly do a background a year can be counted on one hand, two if I’m feeling more motivated than usual.
As a result I tried to do some more things than usual on it with the shading and lighting. Also some transparency on DO for a change. Not sure I like how I did either honestly but you don’t learn things from not trying them!
