MerBugs - Spooky Version!

I've been rewatching some of Subjectively's older Mermay videos, and it inspired me to try and draw my mer versions of Brzzz and Beryl in a more realistic way. I really like the way that these turned out - the realism added a more spooky vibe to the designs, which I think looks really cool!

Along with drawing in a different style than I normally do, I also tried colouring these in a different way. I did the pencil work on paper, but coloured them digitally. Normally when I do this I redraw the lines and get rid of the underlying pencil drawing, but this time I kept it and used a more paint-like brush for colouring. I really like this style of colouring in my drawings since it keeps the details from the underlying pencil drawing that would otherwise be lost.

All in all, I'm really happy with these drawings, and it was perfect timing too since it's Mermay right now! Along with the coloured pictures, I also added the original pencil versions under the cut:

230 V sind gar nicht tödlich*

Sonst könnte ich nämlich diese Zeilen nicht mehr schreiben. Trotzdem kein Spaß, wenn man die falsche Sicherung rausmacht und dann an den blanken Anschlüssen in der Steckdose rumschraubt.

Kinder, ihr müsst mir versprechen IMMER noch mal mit dem Phasenprüfer zu checken, ob die Leitung eventuell doch noch unter Strom steht. Und wenn ihr unsicher seid bei dem, was ihr an den Stromleitungen macht, lasst es von einem Fachmann machen.

Ist wirklich lange her, dass ich 230 V angefasst habe. Ich denke, das war jetzt das fünfte Mal in fünfzig Jahren. Muss nicht zur Gewohnheit werden.

* Es kommt natürlich nicht auf die Spannung, sondern den Widerstand und die damit verbundene Stromstärke sowie den Verlauf des Stroms im Körper an. Ich hatte Glück! Das kann mächtig schief gehen.

Happy Pride Month!

During the month of June, I've been working on this series of lineless art using pride flags as palettes. For each flag I drew one of my Hollow Knight ocs who would identify with that flag.

A bundle of Brzzz doodles.

I wanted to try some loose sketches, just to kinda mess around and have a bit of fun drawing without worrying about cleaning them up afterwards.

Drinks based on my Hollow Knight ocs! This was a really fun idea, and it was a nice challenge to convey my characters in the form of different beverages. I tried to both keep a similarities to their character design, with colour or with notable motifs, and at the same time make them drinks that the character that they’re based on would like! The first one is based on Beryl, and the second is based on Brzzz. Here are the ingredients for each:

Pepsis Fruit Punch

Orange Juice

Cranberry Juice

Grenadine

Soda

Vodka

Frozen Blueberries

(The vodka’s optional if you don’t want to add it)

The Buzzsaw

Dark Hot Chocolate

Mint Syrup

Lime Zest

However, my practice piece ended up a lot more angsty than I first intended.
