A pair of young Seablings enjoying the ocean ( ´▽｀)

Joey‘s bi-sona is lacking flare, your honor

Based of a stream that happed a few months ago with a cosplayer, so this is a au where Lauren was the youngest sibling of the Rivendell family and the last alive

Pretty old art now, I do have a better design for Scott now that I like better

If you want to join the Rivendell (mostly xornoth) fanclub here is the discord link https://discord.gg/DBczjCFHW7

Well.

I'm not sure about you, but having you're entire kingdom turn its back on you & your life ripped from your hands because you were made the Champion to the "wrong God" just seems like a rather unjust fate.

Inktober Day 17: Demon

Extra bits & a snippet of my rambles under the cut

In my (potentionally delusional) mind, there was every opportunity in Rivendell history to reunite the beliefs of Aeor & Exor without all the "lmao sucks to suck, get out" stuff that happened. There's just a balance to things yk. Ying & Yang, Warmth & Coldness, Life & Death. Just because one is "negative" to the broad eye doesn't mean it isn't detrimental to a balance of existence. [Rambles to the Void]

They could've been happy is all I'm saying.

And ta daaa. Here's that parallel post.

Coin Flip

Ah yes a wonderful rule from a benevolent Ruler. Everyone is so pleased with this change in leadership. Trust me. 100%

Inktober Day 3: Path

Undetailed pic under cut ^-^

Look I honestly didn't feel like choosing my favorite S1 path so

Fwhip pic instead

Bonus mini rulers

I happen to think a lot about how on edge and guarded Fwhip was when Sausage first tried coming back to talk to him when he got uncorrupted.

I'd think there were a lot of irreversible and unforgettable scars left over after the dust finally settled.

Also have mercy on my white out woes

Hello its pride month and for you I give

✨️ Jitties ✨️

Presenting my (legally) s1 design of Joel!

In my brain, this is how he looked in between s1 & s2 cos King Joel & God Joel are 100% the same person and you cannot tell me otherwise. It's true and canon, he told me himself

Also how can I not have men with tiddies in pride month? That's sacrilege

Pen & Sketch under the cut ^-^

I love penning so much guys

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 🥰

Gemcyt au that stars the cod alliance from season one empire’s and where most of the other characters where crystal gems that fought in the gem war

Grian was the leader of the rebellion that worked together with Lizzie a diamond in disguise to fake her shattering and just like in cannon the diamonds retaliated by the corrupting all the gems still on the planet 

Lizzie used her weapon to block the blast and like rose she was able to grab two others before it hit

Joel who never left her side and jimmy who stayed close to joel 

the story takes place 5,300 years after the war and starts when a modern human historian named pix befriends the survivors 

lizzie a pink diamond disguised as a rose quartz that is a scammer and is the one that makes their fake ids and legal papers 

joel a green off color pearl that was originally quiet but over the years became more outspoken and confident 

and jimmy a defective clumsy lapis that loves human board games and organic animals 

Pix questions them about the gem artifacts and ruins he has been studying and as they get more comfortable around him they start info dumping about the caste system and the war

It steadily gets more and more personal until it gets to the point where he becomes their unofficial therapist 

Then the home world gems start coming to earth again and pix becomes a diplomat that ends up using Lizzies status as a diamond to defeat the other diamonds by talking to them like Steven did in Steven universe 

this au is heavy inspired by @playername-player-of-games and @marblegroves

Empires smp season 1 crystal cliffs headcanons

My head canon for crystal cliffs is that it is notorious for being the empire with the worst food 

It is a school and the closest thing they have to a government is the school board and gem

There food is close to what would be served in a school cafeteria because they focus on studying and teaching they like food that is easy to make and cheap to produce 

The students and teachers are forced to get creative and try to find ways to make it more palatable 

They use spell’s to artificially flavor the food or use spells on themselves to change the way their taste buds perceive the taste 

The food is not natural and the while edible the taste is off and noticeably different from what it is trying to emulate ( like how banana flavored candy tastes different from bananas)

One good thing that comes out of this situation is that they are also known for their food lasting years and being well preserved 

They have very manufactured products just like the grimland s which makes sense because most of the students are from the grimland 

S1 esmp codlands world building headcanon

The cod lands value their alliances and are known to take inspiration from other cultures its not as though they don’t have any original traditions but a good few of them are a direct result of them putting their own spin on foreign cultures and imports from all over the world 

The most well known example is the cod folks famous wood carvings the story goes a long time ago there was a young codish traveler who had stopped to stay the night in a mezalian inn while wondering the streets he could not help but admire the buildings he loved how symmetrical and perfectly placed the tiles were and it stuck with him 

when he returned home he tried to recreate what he saw but he didn’t have the materials needed for it and he realized very quickly that he should have asked how it was made when he was there but hindsight is twenty twenty and he still wanted to try so he decided to ditch the colors and clay he focused on his favorite part 

He went out side and picked up some tree bark he got a knife and scratched the same patterns the tiles were laid out in mezalia on the wood but smaller it was mess but he liked so he kept doing it when ever he got home from his travels he would sit down and carve patterns into the wood as time went on his work got neater and thought it was not as colorful as the tiles they were based on they focused more on little details they became beautiful and when he got old and settled down he started selling his work in the market soon enough it caught on and more people started carving wood for art rather than for utensils and weapons 

Lots of Time has passed since then and along the way it even picked up some religious significance when children reached a certain age they carve a special bead to mark the day they took the oath to protect all cod it’s like a baptism or bat/bar mitzvah there guardian weaves the child a necklace to put the bead on and from then on when ever something significant happens they make another bead to put on the necklace but they only wear it for special occasions these things are so important to a person they never wear them casually and are heavy protected when someone dies they’re beads are hung in a mini cemetery that each family has because you can’t bury someone in a muddy swamp like you could in a dirt field 

The cod father head is very special because when ever a cod father is introduced they create a bead but it doesn’t go on their necklace it goes on the cod father head alongside the beads of the past cod fathers unlike necklaces that are only worn sparingly the cod father head is to be worn every day to symbolize the cod fathers never ending responsibility to protect the legacy of the cod empire a constant reminder of the past present and future generations the cod fathers have to maintain it’s a lot of pressure and needless to say if a cod father were to loose the head or cod forbid have it be destroyed while in their hands well that would be blasphemy 

but in the present long after the man died the art style he fathered keeps evolving with every new artist it gets further away from the tiles and became it’s own thing a art style that is unmistakably a art unique to the cod lands

CHAPTER 2 OF MY FIC "A golden thread" IS OUT!!!

Close ups below!

Painting i made for chapter two of my fic "A golden thread" .(Alternate version / Design of the street)

It's inspired by the hermitcraft shopping district, hence the many small references! (there's a joe of the hills variety hidden in there and it's not just the juppet!)

Close ups below! Also please go read my fic :3

Close ups of Xornoth and Hbomb, and ofc of the bushes and buildings! Wait, what's that juppet doing there- is that a ghost behind it!?

And ofc, a close up of the fire + smoke bc AAAAA I LOVE HOW THEY TURNED OUT!!!

Sadly, drawing this made me realize i have no idea how fire OR glass work... If anyone wants to give any tips on how i could have drawn the broken window a lil better id rly appreciate it 😭 cause i dont think u can even tell the stuff surrounding the fire is supposed to be a broken window...

Flower Husbands. ..................................... AUHSKAHSJSJS

first of all your artstyle is so OM NOM NOMNOMNOM NOM NOM /vvvvvvvpos

anD MAY I REQUEST A LITTLE CODFATHER JIMMY:DDD

First of all, sorry for the wait for this

Secondly, thank you so much!!

another computer drawing

this time its ESMP1 Gem!

my gift to @rain-bow88 for the @esmp-gift-exchange! I drew the Seablings! I actually finished the piece a while ago, so though if I were to do it again now I would definitely do it differently, I also find it really fun to look back at how I drew just a few months ago, like a little art time capsule, and I’m really proud of the concept behind it!

As I said, I drew this a while ago, so I don’t entirely remember the thought process behind it, but the general idea is that I had been watching Jimmy’s pov of empires, and I was thinking it might be fun to consider why the music disc was so important to him, and the fact that he, a fish person, liked the sound of it, but everyone else found it weird, reminded me of stories where mermaids sound really amazing under the water but not so much in the air, so I had the idea that maybe it was the same song that Lizzie used to sing to him while she waited for him to hatch, but that it sounded unappealing to all the other emperors because they could only hear it above water. He couldn’t really remember where he knew the song from, but it was comforting to him (in my headcannons). Hopefully that makes sense lol, I think I’m explaining myself poorly. Idk, I hope you like it!

This is for Han specifically (oh my gosh you have no idea how many tries it took to spell specifically lol). Shadowbeans marriage! I decided that they should both wear dresses because dresses are more fun to draw and also I kind of suck at drawing suits.

Sigh… I miss empires. Big fish wife and tiny clay husband.

A reimagine of the Codfather Alliance in their quest to take back the Codfather head

Keep reading

I was rewatching Joel’s esmp 1 because I wanted to. So I did a little drawing.

That’s all! Just a silly doodle, I’ve decided that not every drawing I post has to be something special, sometimes it can just be something simple like this lol.

The Creature of the Swamp ____________________________ Inspired by Monster in Context by TheAmberShadow ____________________________ Chapter 1: The Beginning.

Many many centuries ago, a great salamander wished for heirs to rule their kingdoms, the Ocean, Rivers, Lakes, and the Swamp. So the Ocean God's bestowed them a gift, the salamander soon layed a cluch of eggs, unfortunately fate didn't do well for the salamander as they wither and died shortly after.

Many decades past, the eggs still unprotected, the others, like the salamander, died. Leaving only two eggs.

A big Prismarine egg and a small cracked damaged egg.

From there, the Prismarine egg hatched. The walls being the prison to the one inside no longer, as strong arms push against the shell, a axolotl was formed. Short light pink hair glows in the sunlight as blue skin graces the ground on two webbed feet.

Unexpectedly, the axolotl hybrid, uses two webbed hands and grabbed the small cracked damaged egg, diving into the ocean.

Never to be seen again.

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

while my friend making a cosplay, I decided to draw Scott from empires s1!!! :D

I have been missing the ocean queen so I just had to draw her

This drawing was actually drawn traditionally before taking it and colouring it digitally!! Below the cut is the trad drawing in colour.

If you like my art, likes and reblogs are appreciated :D

She’s a bit bright neon but I like that about her. I am genuinely curious about which version you guys prefer, so feel free to share in the comments or tags if you reblog!

BTW I WAS LISTENING TO DEAL WITH DESTINY ON REPEAT WHILE MAKING THIS, THAT SONG SLAPS!
