I was listening to Miracle Musical again, and remembered I did an animatic for The Mind Electric. It’s quite old (a year or 2?) and upon looking over it and revising it, there are some continuity mistakes. BUT! I more or less finished it a bit ago and am still quite proud of it and wanted to to post it. So here it is!
Just as a note: while it's pretty straightforward on its own, here's more detail on how to navigate my tags (as I've prioritized them mostly for my own use).
-"Peridots-Art" vs "Not My Art": There's always one or the other. Peridots-Art is... pretty obvious (includes digital art, pixel art, written work, etc.) and Not My Art usually refers to reblogs or me just talking about a random subject.
-World Tags: Pretty much always on anything with the Art tag. Can either be a fandom (Bug Fables and Hollow Knight, or WoF for Wings of Fire), or one of my personal worlds (Tonpterus, Mostly Mollusk).
-Character Category: Most posts with the Art tag will either be labeled "Canon", referring to a canon character from a fandom, or "Character", referring to my own characters--whether completely original or a fan-character.
-Specific Characters: Canon characters will have the respective fandom after their name, not always stylized the same as the fandom's tag (e.g. Quirrel HK). Characters of my own creation will only be referred to with their name, regardless of whether they belong to a specific original universe or not.
-Creature Category: Unlike the above three tags, this doesn't always pertain to art. They describe the (currently, only three) categories of species/characters in the post: Humans, Dragons or Bugs. That's all
[Start ID. White text on a black background. It reads "Dawn of The Final Day", and below that is "24 Hours Remain". End ID.]
Some crossovery nonsense
Text-based stuff and individual images under the cut
It's unlikely anything Ghost's wearing actually belongs to them. Since having thousands of children and then abandoning all but one of them to die isn't very socially acceptable or physically possible, PK and WL--aristocrats rather than rulers now--had more like seven children or something, and I'm not sure if they got rid of the six who aren't the Hollow Knight somehow or actually raised them normally. It's most likely that they instead had just one heir, THK, but Ghost wouldn't exist in that case so whatever. They're just running around Gristol murdering people it's fine
Pendleton is a weevil, Martin's a snakefly and Havelock's a scorpion, Corvo's a velvet spider, Samuel is a water boatman, Daud's an assassin bug and Billie's an ant. While giving them their most recognizable traits (and while assigning each of them an actual clade of Real Life Bug, something Hollow Knight isn't particularly known for), I realized it's probably more sensible for them to have their own Empire and society (and biology) outside of Hallownest.
I'm not developing anything for Delilah I just wanted to draw her as a LeafWing
[Start ID. A digital drawing of Leif from Bug Fables in bright colors on a purple background. He is standing with his wings open, blocks of ice levitate above one raised hand and the other points at the ground. His sharp, insectoid features are emphasized somewhat. He isn’t incredibly expressive, but seems to hold himself in a determined manner. End ID]
Leif should get to be bright and spiky sometimes. as a treat
[Start ID. A drawing of the Survivor from Rain World. They're spiralling upwards into the air, clutching a grappling worm with limbs askew, above the lizard den halfway up The Wall. They're facing forward, and while their expression is neutral as always, they seem rather eager. The drawing has a light red tone, primarily made up of siennas, whites and dull teals, and has a fairly dramatic sense of scale. End ID]
call that a jetpack joyride (< got attached to their grapple worm and named it jetpack)
Talita and Turii for @jayrockin
Heya, I'm Peridots, your average digital artist/entomology enthusiast—they/it/he or any pronouns, please! Haven't actually posted much art in quite a while, so be prepared for occasional Bug Facts and other such randomness. Spam likes and such are all appreciated here! Terfs, zionists and the like can turn 180° for free, however! Profile art by original-character-chaos—oooooh looks like someone sent me perfectly pfp-shaped gift art of my sona a little too close to april fools!
