Last day done!!! This whole month has been so much fun! Thank you so much to the lovely mods @hermitadaymay, y'all did such an amazing job, and seeing your kind notes on participants' posts every day was so uplifting.

I've never been able to keep up with a monthly challenge for more than a few days, but this time I was able to get something done for almost every day! This month has been such a great opportunity to learn and grow. For the days I missed, I plan to finish and post them sometime in the next few days. There are also a few pages of ideas and design attempts I'll post with that, if anyone is interested.

Day 30 done! I don't really watch Doc, but wow is his skin fun to draw! The extremely impractical glasses are my favorite part of this design, they look like they're about to fall off at any moment

Day 29 done! My weird headcanon for Skizz is that he isn't actually an angel or a regular avian, but rather in a sort of grey area between the two. He's an albatross, which is a bird with a lot of legends and superstitions surrounding it. Albatrosses have mistakenly been associated with burdens and bad luck (like in "Rime of the Ancient Mariner") However, they only symbolize misfortune to people who mistreat them. They're actually symbols of perseverance and guidance, as well as healing and protecting lost souls. This means that Skizz counts as a supernatural being, but it isn't really noticeable. He's got a good sense of direction and is remarkably good at telling when someone needs guidance, but other than the giant wings, he seems normal

(Thanks to anyone who read that whole thing! I warned y'all I was a literature major, rambling about bird symbolism was inevitable)

Day 28 done! I couldn't decide which of the many friends of Hermitcraft I wanted to draw, so I just fit as many as I could into today's square. If it wasn't clear from the rest of this month's drawings, all of my hermit-a-day pieces are part of a big grid of 2 in x 2.5 in boxes. I figured having boxes ready to fill in, plus a small size that limited how much detail I could add, would make it easier to actually complete the whole month. And it worked!

Love the idea of weresheep zed (I have a similar idea in the most roundabout and weird way lmao)

Thanks! I wish I had a cool backstory for it, but really I just couldn't decide whether I wanted him to be a human or a sheep. I'm curious about your take on a weresheep! Roundabout and weird seems like a very fitting description for any version of Zed

I'm hoping to post some weresheep concept sketches along with all my other hermit-a-day practice designs at the end of May, if you want to keep an eye out for those

Day 27 done! Today is everyone's favorite knight, who I imagine as having griffon features. Since griffons (griffins? gryphons?), as well as lions and eagles, show up in many coats of arms, I thought it would be fitting for a knight. Plus, the idea of Wels having wings and a tail was too cool not to draw.

As a bonus, have a Zedaph for day 26! I'm especially happy with my design for him. He's a weresheep: the bigger the moon, the more sheep features he gets!

Day 25 done! Another hermit that I don't watch nearly as much as I should. I wasn't able to fit it into this drawing, but I imagine that his apron is covered in pins representing moments, storylines, and accomplishments from each season, like a TCG card or a llama face

Day 24 done! Behold...the Juppet

Day 22 done! Meet my take on Keralis: robo-Keralis! When looking at his skin, there's no interpretation of him as a human that doesn't horrify me, so I imagine him as a silly little robot guy

And, as a bonus, have an XB for a late day 20!

Day 21 done! Usually I like drawing armor, but this drawing really fought me. My favorite details are the little antenna and the tally marks for each season of hermitcraft.

Day 18 done! All of Bdubs' builds are beautiful, but this little starter house is my absolute favorite. Everything about it makes me wish it was a real place I could visit

Day 17 done! I really struggled with his face shape, and then realized it was just my brain being bothered by the lack of a regular human ear to connect to the jawline. And though I love the Gigacorp aesthetic, I never want to draw a spacesuit again

Day 16 done! I didn't feel up to drawing any of Scar's many, many hats, so instead I gave him the floofiest hair possible

Day 15 done! In honor of Sal the Salmon, I decided to give him salmon fins. I like to imagine Jevin made them himself and just sorta stuck them on (he definitely did the same thing with the eyebrows, though he'll swear those are natural.)

There was a scrapped design where he had a salmon skull floating in the slime, but salmon skulls look weirdly like bird skulls, especially in a tiny pencil drawing. Sadness.

Also, I've completely forgotten to add the charity link for previous days! There's a donation match in progress, so if you can give, now is the time!

Day 14 done! One of my friends wanted a drawing of Lizzie, so I thought this lovely couple would be perfect for the group/collab prompt. Drawing this was so nice, I mimic the expressions as I draw and I was smiling the whole time. A note on the designs: they are both some kind of fairy with insect features. Joel is based on a dogbane beetle, while Lizzie is an orchid mantis!

Day 12 done! I'm not sure why my Pearl design has hidden eyes. Maybe to fit her mysterious yet silly persona? It's definitely not because I couldn't figure out how to draw her eyes

Day 11 done! For some reason, I can't seem to make Cub look anything other than menacing when I draw him. Believe it or not, the fangs actually made him look nicer. Though since this is permit office Cub, menacing might be the right look

Day 10 done! She many be a day late, but that doesn't stop her from being god's favorite princess. This is another drawing that I wish was in color, because the color pallet of Gem's season 10 skin is so pretty

Day 9 done! Outfit swap was such a fun idea, and it was a challenge to choose which hermits to swap. I eventually realized that Cleo would absolutely rock a suit, while Skizz has enough goofy 80s energy to match Cleo's over-the-top workout gear. My only regret is that I couldn't do this in color!

Day 8 done! I haven't watched many of Hypno's videos, but his Decked Out runs are really impressive. His skin is very cool, and I need to come back sometime and make a less rough design for it

Day 7 done...kinda. Today was too busy to start a new drawing, but not too busy to finish up this sketch of NHO Bdubs! Being slowly consumed by the jungle is a great look, and I enjoyed translating all those vines to a more realistic look

Day 6 done! Despite being one of the first hermits I watched, I still don't have a proper design for Mumbo. Still not quite happy with his face shape, but I like how the hair turned out. Don't ask why he's got pointed ears, I have no headcanons and just thought they looked nice

Day 5 done! I had to really fight my face blindness on this one, but I hope I was able to do her justice. I really need to start watching False, she seems like a lovely person and her base this season looks great

For an alt hermit, I went with season 9 skulk possessed Cub! Figuring out the skulk texture was fun. Sadly, my camera is not a fan of how reflective the graphite is, so the picture looks a little off

Day 3 complete! I'm trying to improve my face drawing skills by incorporating features from IRL hermits into their characters. It's not even close to perfect, but I think I'm learning a lot, and that's what matters!

Second day done just in time!

Trying to do Hermit-A-Day May this year. Hopefully it goes better than the last...every monthly art challenge I've tried to do

Been almost two years. Reblog if you still miss Gravity Falls

No wonder I couldn't find the original, I completely forgot it might have been from Multiple Bullets! (Honestly I forgot that comic even existed lol) Thanks for finding it!!!

A redraw of a favorite Trigun Maximum panels, done in acrylic. I finished it about a year ago, which means I kinda dislike it, but I thought it would be a good first piece to share. Hopefully I'll be able to post some new art soon!

(If you recognize which issue this is from, please let me know, I can't find the original)

Another Trimax redraw! This time of my favorite panel from Ch. 83. I'm fond of that chapter because the moment Livio committed to the cowboy aesthetic was the moment he became my favorite character

(please ignore the awful signature, I really need to make a proper watermark before I post anything else)
