Inktober Day 7: Drip

Dripstone for the day? Absolutely.

Sausage is just going down for a little adventure , nothing bad will happen. Probably.

Here's the sketch & flat penning

I love taking pictures of the sketch & flat penning cos seeing it come to life with the detailed penning scratches all the good parts of my brain

Behold, my favorite egotistical, rich bastard [affectionate]

This idea scratched my brain until I exploded with gold sharpie paint pens

Inktober Day 6: Golden

Sketchy sketchy whoooaa

Yeah so I got possessed with a demand of Unhindged Joel and this is the result you're welcome

I'm insane btw

What's that? Make 10 new designs and draw 13 people all in different angles in one night?? Sure! Absolutely! I regret everything but Lizzie

Based on this:

Woo.

Inktober Day 28: Camping

Headcanon of the Day #1 [I'm making it a series]

Jimmy did the braids & buns for Scott, Gem, & Katherine. It's just an odd thing he's good at and his longer-haired allies enjoy the pampering of cute hair styles they get for important events.

Welcome, all, Stratos' most humble of Gods

Behold

Inktober Day 26: Ego

So it turns out that falling from a great height doesn't really go well if you're made out of porcelain. Who knew

Inktober Day 14: Empty

A technical Part 2

Part 1

Part 2 [Here]

Haunted by visions of a past life you say?

Sausage has really been going through it huh?

Inktober Day 12: Forget

Some close ups

There are two fatal flaws that have occurred that I refuse to acknowledge 🥰

I am incredibly proud of this

「Hello, Cogsmeade! What a view we have up here」

Inktober Day 11: Eagle

tiny Tom headcannon

First things first tiny tom is a girl and a little bit bratty 

she is one of those kids that is obsessed with the idea of a fairy tale happily ever after and when she was abandoned she latched on to that idea and like Jimmy she has a depressing tally board to count the days her goal has not been reached but instead of it being for a train to be build it’s for the days of her not getting her idealized Prince Charming

She admires gem because she is a princess and just like her dads she has delusions about having authority and power so she’s very bossy to the annoyance of everyone plus her father is a god so it’s really bad

she inherited jimmy’s rigid morals and dislike of disrespect and ability to pick her self up

she inherited Joel’s expensive taste and god like strength and patience she doesn’t do things in halves

She loves her brother Hermes but is such a textbook annoying little sister that she manages to be the only that has ever driven the sweet Hermes to loose his patience

They had a very bad first meeting when she found she had a brother she got together a “contract’ and wanted Hermes to agree to unreasonable demands like letting her use his stuff or something like that

Don’t be mistaken Hermes loves her to but there relationship is not the best because he’s obviously the favorite of Joel and he inherited more god powers still she got super strength and is very much capable of picking up both her dads

When she’s older like in her tweens she started to look for parents and it was then she was told who they where

So She went to meet them and when she met Joel it wasn’t good he told her to go back to where she was and when she got pissed he pointed her towards Jimmy so she would take her complains to him instead

Jimmy agreed to let her stay and is very strict but she is the stereotypical bratty daughter so as you can imagine they bicker o lot she also has super strength which makes disciplining her very difficult 

she hates living in tumble town because it’s dirty and she has to do dirty chores she longs to live in stratos but She doesn’t have a roof over her head there and because she still wants to connect to her dads she stays in tumble town

whenever Joel comes he gives her random gifts to piss off jimmy and she worships the ground joel walks on because she is desperate for his approval but she doesn’t respect her other dad who hops from underestimating and babying her to showing disapproval whenever she does something childish

Jimmy try’s to be a dad but the last time he saw her she was a kid and he missed a lot 

over time they do get close but jimmys has a lot to learn and toms got a lot of maturing to do before she gets the picture

oh my gosh the timelapse music is western now

jimmy being The Sheriff this season is gonna be so neat, i cant wait to see how his empire comes along in the mesa. also how fun would it be if he used a bow and named it ‘gun’ or something lolol since he is The Sheriff

Scott: I will fight god.

Joel: I’m sorry but no.

[Day 12]: Friends of Hermitcraft: SMAJOR!

AAAAAA GRRRR QUICK SKETCH BC I DONT HAVE TIME!!! (<-autistic anger bc i can't engage w/ my special interest, art. ;-;)

ANYWAYS: originally i was gona draw Hbomb, since he introduced me to hc before Empires/Scott did, but then i remembered Scott's chromia skin and AAAAA I JUST HAD TO DRAW IT!!!

Ill def finish this & draw Hbomb at some point, but for now, have a lil sketch! Also ik i said id post art rqs today but i didn't have time to finish them ;^; imma post some soon tho! Art rq r still open btw :D

are you a creative in the esmp community?

well, let me introduce you to the esmp gift exchange! this will function like a normal gift exchange! you’ll send in a few options for what you’re willing to as a gift, and what you are willing to make as a gift, and then we assign you a giftee and assign someone else to make a gift for you!

please reblog this so people who may be interested will be able to find it !!

interest check (and more information) will come out in a week, so follow us to keep an eye out for that :)

something something Es2 and HCs9 ending and Hermes and Tiny Tom being left alone without knowing why or where everyone went something something

Hermes and Tom half brothers duo you will always be famous <3.

thinking about how Hermes probably resents the sheriff and we be confused if he found out Joel had a kid with him.

thinking about how Hermes probably misses his parents and Tom probably resents Joel and Jimmy and maybe now Jevin too for leaving him.

Thinking about how Hermes was already left once when his dad’s went to Hermitcraft and they came back once so why not this time?

thinking about how they are connected by the rift, and Tom might be reluctant to go looking for someone who he thinks left him intentionally, but Hermes would have no such reservation and might try to repair emperor grumbot to reopen the rift because that’s where his dads went last time.

thinking about how emperor grumbot could make good on his threat to destroy empires then.

thinking about how I’m rambling and also don’t know where I’m going with this also guys I have brain rot can you tell?

(Sorry for my illegible handwriting lol)

Theories and Headcannons Pt. 17

So this thoery is that the mycelium from Hermitcraft Season 7 is the skulk that infects Cub in the Hermits and Empires crossover.

So skulk. It spreads. It infects people, enviornments and objects. Ever since its release from the deep dark two years ago it has dispersed itself into every world and uncharted realm, and proliferated into the minds of the curious and wandering. Similar to corrosive fungi or mould. And so is mycelium. A type of fungal threads that also acts in a similar manner to skulk but more passively. And so that's why mycelium might be the ancestor to skulk. Take Hermitcraft Season 7, the Mycelium War. The mycelium began to spread when the core block was surrounded by grass. Slowly corrupting the green surface which enraged the Mayor to create HEP as an attempt to uproot the infectious fungi but, resulting in the Mycelium Resistance to counterattack HEP's efforts. Resulting in the Mycelium War that ended in a minigame with the Mycelium Resistance reigning victorious.

But it was left to rot and wither after the season's end. Finding it's way into the damp, dark caves where it evolved into this monstrous fungi that feasted upon the deaths of organisms to spread and conquer back to the light of the surface. Thats's when a certain branch of sculk crept its way to the foggy surface of the mangrove. Crawling its inky veins to infect the surrounding enviornment. Secluded by the misty fog where it was able to broad and multiply until a curious scientist, exploring the uncharted mangrove stumbled upon the cluster of sculk. Entranced by the promises of knowledge and power, the sculk was able to spread. Fulfilling its dream of reaching the sunlight once again with the help of the human vessel. Until a witch with magical capabilities subdued the corruption fungi and it was banished back into the caverns. Never returning to see it so desperately wanted, the light of day.

I kinda wanna draw a dress next…

If you put one in the comments and it doesn’t win I might just draw it anyway

- these are just the people who I though of that I think would vibe in a dress!

A Light

I talk about the drawing under the cut if that interest anyone

(Reblogs appreciated)

This is an older drawing from like maybe a couple months ago, I just hadn’t gotten around to posting it 💀

It’s traditional but multimedia, I used oil pastels, coloured pencil, markers and a little bit of POSCA pens.

I wanted to draw empires s1 Pearl because i like how she’s a little farmer and how Sausage and others made her into a saint in s2

I was planning on making a drawing with Sausage and and Pearl but I haven’t gotten around to it yet 👀

Gold Is Appealing

The crown weighs heavy upon its wearer's brow. Each passing day makes the crown grow heavier, and the wearer grows wearier with each day. Some say that a curse had been placed upon this crown during the first brawl to take place over its ownership. That, in the bloodshed of the rulers, the crown had been cursed to bring death and misfortune in its wake, and that any who wear it face cruel and startling punishments. For some, this means betrayal from one whom they'd loved, being poisoned in their own domain. For others, the crown brought magical powers beyond their own control, causing a harsh and gruelling winter to befall their lands.

It is needless to say that the crown had been swamped with misery and famine since the first few days of its creation. And that it had been buried long ago for good measure.

Pix had failed to read that in his books. But to be fair, there hadn't been many accounts detailing this crown, and those that did contain information were...vague, at best. So he'd seen no issue with donning the crown and wearing it with pride. He'd made his rule, as the books had mentioned within his newfound capabilities, and for the short time of having it, Pix had almost enjoyed it. Not the power itself, no. In other circumstances Pix wouldn't dare do such a thing. But in the name of history, he simply had to, if only to keeep the crown's rich tradition alive.

Perhaps it had been this that caused his untimely demise.

During that tea party at Glimmergrove, Pix hadn't initially thought much when he started withering. He'd assumed that Katherine had found him. After all, he had seen that Katherine did kill those that she managed to find. All in good sport, of course. The respawn ability every ruler shared was used not in life-or-death situations, but mostly as a measure of strength; a way to test how long one may survive against a terrible foe, or when they're on the brink of death from poisoning.

But when he did die, he came back...different. A ghost. A spectral figure that startled the other rulers upon seeing him. Pix had, quite literally, become as dead as history. He'd merged with it. Was that meant to be his fate all along? Condemned to live as a ghost after a light-hearted discovery and some innocent tradition-upkeeping? That didn't seem fair to him.

Scott had the crown now. At first he hadn't meant to acquire it. He'd simply stood nearby and accidentally retrieved the fallen things of the late Pix. And that meant he had to put out his own decree for the other rulers to follow. There wasn't anything he really wanted. Scott was a collector at heart; an adventurer. He'd spent a large part of his life travelling, permanently borrowing artefacts and living freely. It hadn't really been his intention to become King of Chromia, but he took it in his stride. In fact, he had been planning to continue his streak of permanently borrowing other people's possessions. So for now, he administered a simple task: build a statue, building or other form of structure for Chromia. He'd laid out the borders, and left it at that.

But upon his return home, he'd encountered a most peculiar note left for him. It requested that he create a Brown Mooshroom and take it to a place called the Hollow. Scott knew something bad or risky when he saw it. And this note definitely had sinister connotations. Would this lead to his death the same way Pix had perished? There was no real way to tell for sure.

The crown was laced in malice. None would know this. Perhaps a demon from the days of the past had cursed it. A demon that had cursed it as a last resort in case he was sentenced to death.

Who knows? All we know for sure was one thing.

That gold, the very gold within the crown, was appealing to all rulers.

Would it be kinda cool if Jimmy and Oli had maybe sorta homoerotic villain arc together

The dynamic impeccable and possibilities endless

Awwwww!!!

and it’s time for the dtiys!!

there’s no deadline, and if you submit make sure to tag me and use the tag #glows200dtiys

thank you all again for 200 followers and i can’t wait to see what y’all do!!

That's what you're going to talk about on your first date?! What do the second date conversation topics look like?!?! That you killed Joey, Jimmy, and Oli? That, while drinking with an evil Sausage, you released a demon that killed your headmaster?!?!

Ever think about the fact that when we last saw the two, Katherine had no idea on how Shelby was actually cure of the skulk. She didn’t know everything with the witch academy, the voices screaming in Shelby’s head, the spirits in the fog. She didn’t know that Shelby died.

If possible, a deity/celestial design for empires!Gem since she confirmed that she is a celestial being at some point :]

i went a little overboard here but i really like how it turned out✨️☀️

The Great Storm Witch Shelby

I CAN'T BELIEVE IT! I WAS RIGHT ALL ALONG. YESSSS!

I posted this in the Prismarina theory-discussion channel on Discord (March 23, 2023):

"" I had the same thought! I'm glad someone had the same idea!

So many lines that WitchCraft Shelby has just said in Episode 5 lines up:

1. "I wonder what SHE will think of me..." Scott has said mentioned a "he" who everyone believes is Jimmy. So it would make sense if Shelby was referring to Katherine.

2. "I've changed so much." Storm Witch Shelby has different hair, different outfit, different magic, & etc.

3. "I can't believe how strong I've gotten. This is everything I've ever wanted." We know that Esmp Shelby doesn't think very highly of herself, and that she wants to be stronger and help people.

4. "I have something to prove." Esmp Shelby has said how she has to prove herself worthy to the Academy so that they don't take her magic.

5. "I did awful in school." We know that Esmp Shelby got bad grades at school.

And finally, why wouldn't she question the existence of another Scott and another Joey? **Because of the rift.** There were 2 FalseSymmetrys on Empires at one time. They looked and acted differently from each other. If there were 2 Falses, why couldn't there be 2 versions of Scott and 2 versions of Joey. ""

That was what I wrote.

Shubble's Esmp S2 finale just came out 2 hours ago. And, after getting killed/cleansed of sculk by Sausage, she got brought back with lightning. She has white hair and the expertise she chose is storms! She even went to Joel for advice! And made up with Katherine.

AHHHHHHH!

I'm just so psyched about this, that all this lore gets perfectly put together.

I don't know what to do with myself now. This has kinda cleared all of my brain-rots since they were all about her.

Just. AHHHHHHHH!!!

How does this work again?

I guess I’ll just reblog fanart I like

You're in the wind, I am in the water~
