fellas. gamers. astarion lovers. i figured it out.
I FIGURED OUT HOW TO DRAW HIS HAIR
(ignore that he has no eyes or mouth im not emo or bad i drawing i swear i just didnt wanna ruin the good drawing so im gonna draw his eyes/mouth on some of that cool translucent sketch paper)
so i was reading this fic and the mental image of the shirt astarion likes just posessed me and i had to draw it
(ignore my little sketchbook comments. or dont what can i do about it)
also just realized and dont feel like editing the last one: why the fuck do eridians count in base 6?
like the reason humans count in base 10 is bc we have 10 fingers, but eridians have 5 limbs with three fingers on each. it would make more sense for them to count in base 3, 5, or 15. so why 6?
i got project hail mary yesterday so everybody better be ready for YAPPING!!!!!!!!
note to self to make more vampire oc's like this, or have an oc playdate w my buddy who does
I know vampirism is often used as a metaphor for the drain of the aristocracy but I think it would be fun to have more vampire characters who were just some guy before they got turned. You seek out the most ancient vampire in existence and find out he was a 40 year old wheat farmer in ancient Mesopotamia when he was turned 7,000 years ago and he hasn’t been doing much since then.
Bats! This is a very self indulgent post for me and it’s an excuse to draw bats lol. Close ups and some facts below 👇
So some of these are based on vibes but there are some interesting reasons I chose some of these.
So Cazador is actually based on an extinct species of bat which is basically a massive vampire bat which are about 30% larger than a common vampire bat
Astarion is of course a common vampire bat . I couldn’t find much info on the existence of albino ones but I based him off the few images I could find
To add, Dalyria is from a species that has wings that appear pinkish due to lack of pigment, which is my personal theory for why she has that pink tone in her skin, she’s really pale
Leon being a fruit bad just made sense in my head (Maybe baby bat Victoria is under his wings lol)
Petras being a Pallid bat made sense because of course Pallid=Pale=Pale Petras
I love the idea of Aurelia being a little brown bat because I feel like I HC her as having a more diminutive and reserved personality and I feel that goes with little brown bats
Yousen is a species of Microbat which of course are some of the smaller bats in the world
I feel like Violet would be very proud of her long ears
the tall spindly anxious vaguely insectoid man strikes again
Sorry I’ve been inactive! I’m sick and there’s an exam marathon spewing it’s pure wrath upon me, so I haven’t been able to get as many Subnautica related ideas out!
Take this drawing of AL I made before I created this tumblr account for good measure, it’s not the best because it was a little rushed and for my Instagram story but I really like the colors.
imagine a vampire refusing to drink blood straight from the people faucet as it were because its the same thing as drinking milk straight from cow tiddies to them
i just realized there's gotta be some connection between me being obsessed with octonauts as a kid and now being obsessed with subnautica and my ideal career being doing fucked up cool mad scientist ocean stuff
i was planning on drawing myself in the hammock and I might come back and add it later but I like it as is for now
i just tried to show a gaggle of ipad minecraft brain-rotted kids (ie my younger sister and her friends) a dantdm mod review from 11 years ago (specifically the tiny blocks one) and they didnt even have the attention span to watch it. they clicked off after three minutes because they can't handle someone not doing something loud and attention grabbing every other minute. these kids are fucked
