Obsidian's art blog!

Final three prompts of Caught-on-Tober! These were really fun to do!

Karaoke: It's a singing bun and definitely totally not a miku reference. Shhh.

Bonfire: I went with a fire lizard with a wooden tail and some old shed that looks like wood! Maybe once its fully sheds, it eats the old shed to grow its flame?

Lollipop: Okay, listen, there's VERY specific reasons why I made the Lollipop Fakemon the way it is. I refuse to specify. If you know, you know.

Kettle Corn: I went with a bag of kettle corn, because my memories always go back to getting these huge bags of kettle corn while at a mall with my mom! So I just made it into a Thing. It just so happened to turn into a birb, it worked out!

Sour Candy: There's a LOT of sour candy out there, so I went with a classic candy shape with greens, and made the wrapper ends into little wings. it's in a constant pucker state, poor thing!

Your Favorite!: My favorite candy of all time is technically a tie, but I chose one that I always gravitate to. Both are Ghirardelli chocolate, but I went with dark chocolate sea salt caramel. I used their logo that contains what I thiiink is a bald eagle? Maybe? IDK it's some kinda birb so I used that for the design.

Caramel Apple: I just kinda. went at it and made a little kangaroo rat. It's tail is the 'stick' of the caramel apple and its ears/arms/legs are apple pieces! :3

Candy Corn: I'll be fully honest. I'm team 'despises candy corn'. Its nasty to me. But give me some of the pumpkin shaped candy corns? Hell yeah. So I made this little... puppy?? puppy pumpkin with classic candycorn ears, limbs, and tail.

I forgot to make these on the 21st, whoops. Well, here's all of week 3 from Caught-On-Tober!

Chit Chat: I immediately thought of all the Pokemon that are just. A couple of Guys. I love them so much. SO here's two weird little cat-goat demon things that hold hands and chatter constantly.

Game Night: A little bat that plays Twister with you! Well, will play until you get yourself tied up in a knot. He's having fun at least.

The Playlist: A little chubby bunny Pika-clone baby that plays music from its ears! It's tail is shaped like a music note and its body looks like a disc.

Halloween TV Movies: I don't watch a lot of regular TV, but whenever I see my mom watching TV with Halloween Movies, it's ALWAYS one of the super-gory ones. I have no idea how she repeatedly finds them. So here's a little mask creature with a long handle knife for a tail.

Taking A Break: Took this a bit on the more... Gruesome side. A literal break in the body of this ghost rat/mouse Pokemon. Maybe to move, it walks on its rotating tail like a mouse wheel?

Down The Hall To The Right: This one was tricky, but I ended up with a zombie creature, based on Skoffins and leaning more heavily into their stories. The whole idea is that they situate themselves and, like a deadly medusa, will kill you just by looking at you. This mangy fox Pokemon likely doesn't have actual deadly vision, but I can imagine seeing glowing orange-red eyes in the darkness is enough to scare the soul out of anybody.

Week 2 of Caught-On-Tober! These lil guys all ended up Very Cutesy but I was just in That Mood.

Frankenstein's Monster: I went with a muddled-together lil critter. It's all kinds of jumbled up, probably makes some real weird sounds that can scare people if they just overhear it. I can imagine the sounds of ripping fabric, plus the sound of hooves and talons on hard stone.

Vampire (?): A long bat... thing. I used Ghost-Faced Bats for the main reference on the face, because I love them but they are so godawful ugly. Leaned into this demon-angel theme. Its got fangs but its just to scare away predators.

Polka Dot Ghosts: I think of piebald when I think polka dots on real animals, so-ghostly piebald bun. This one's definitely got some hidden danger, maybe it can open its mouth like a muppet and has just. rows upon rows of teeth? That's a fun thought.

Witch in the sky: Kitty witch with broom tail! Maybe it sleeps on its tail and just floats, letting itself be pushed by gentle breezes-so at night, it can seem like a witch flying through the air.

Mysterious Skeleton: It's not the MOST mysterious but I mean, hey, it's a weird skeleton head with black flames for a body. I definitely 100% did NOT base it off of a skeleton rabbit plush I have hanging around because I had no other inspiration for this

Lost Werewolf: It's definitely a Very Sad Puppo who wants to be HELD and will CRY and those are definitely not markings! It definitely will not ravage you if you hold it close enough!

I decided to participate in @nonetoon's Caught-On-Tober prompts, but with, uh. Pokemon because fuck it! I'd love to see some weird Pokemon that trainers get spooked of on videos but they're really just harmless. Day 1 through 7!

Day 1-Steamers: I made a lil spooked snake that hisses loudly and rattles, in the dark a group of them look like a wiggling mummy on the ground-and their eyes glow! But really, they're just. little scaredy-cats.

Day 2-Weird Balloons: Mouse time bc I like Mice. This lil guy probably bounces around a lot and drink from water near drain holes, and of course with horror and balloons, some kids fear that they have nefarious plans. Really they're just Thorstee

Day 3-Photos on the Wall: I went more a painting route oops, but a lizard painting where the painted lizard comes out of the painting! Honestly they just like to pull pranks and laugh with the other afterwards. A Friend :)

Day 4-Confetti: I don't know WHY but I think pinatas when I think confetti. So have a little pinata pony that sneezes confetti everywhere. It's a bit gross.

Day 5-Party Favors: Hermit crab friend :) Space hermit crab friend :)

Day 6-Broken plates: I recently had to build a cone collar out of paper plates for my elder cat, so I created a ghost cat that floats broken pieces of a plate near its neck. Why? I dunno, we have a Pokemon that wields a giant hammer, let's not question the ghost cat with pointy plate parts.
