zel weekly art thread

kinda hard to draw a lot lately with trying to focus on studying and also like.. playing games. so there isnt a lot this time and there might not be a lot for the following few weeks either
back at being upset with dixies sprite from dk king of swing but this time i tried to actually edit it! simply reshaping the ponytail helped so much huh

sunned_shine_or_something.png

ok so heres my own take on the fire rosalina color scheme... which both of these were intended to be, but then it was brought up in response what would the ice color scheme look like and so you can pretend the one on the right is actually ice
im_pretty_sure_this_is_my_first_time_drawing_rosalina_ever.png

adn then spore as usual

edit: just noticed this is page 6 now O_O

this is like the what week in a row with dixie? sixth? also sorry theres very little this week too
look. look. her again. i was testing how i want to do the color palette for when i draw her bc i still havent figured it out, also featuring two palettes picked off of tropical freeze for reference
what_do_i_do_with_hte_colors.png

mario kart tour just invented black birdo that day. and something felt off about her color scheme so i did my own again
wake_up_new_birdo_dropped.png

i could do a normal heart locket meme with the actual website which i actually bookmarked.. or i could do this instead for some reason

have been more productive this week somehow
looked through a bunch of art in medieval bestiaries and i was Inspired

idk what to say here but its not as much as last week
tiny kong, before she was even born, stole from dixie all the genes that make you tall, for herself . learn to share smh
(this is totally how they interact with each other though. they just continously bully each other in a lighthearted way. i got this headcanon from nothing in particular as theyve never actually interacted before despite being siblings........)
double_tpose.png

wanted to make a vehicle that really really looks like a creature so here it is
unknown.png

sort of doodle to experiment with the prehensile tail and also fur
he_has_like_5_hands_if_you_think_about_it.png

the vehicle thing is back but as an actual creature!!! also some other fellas
unknown.png

a person in a server brought up the idea of piantas with plants depending on their region and its just. that idea is so GOOD i fell in love with it so its my headcanon now and also heres some doodles of that

flying frog but it flies for real

re-REDREW an old oc. i may have gone overboard with the redesign, just a little
what_even_happened_here.png

doodle i used as an opportunity to experiment with shading a lil
yahoo.png

as promised ! i redrew a panel thing from an old dkc comic. og scan and translation source here!!!
education_deluxe.png

suddenly missed starbound again so ... pianta ? this was harder than i thought and id need to adjust more if i want to make this into an actual mod . i couldnt even get the eyes to look right
unknown.png

more flight rising
thats_the_second_alternate_uiniverse_brunisa_today.png
 
this is where i keep drawing instead of studying !
yeah though. exams ACTUALLY start happening from the next week finally. so activity in the thread should slow down
have this silly flower critter, then.. a bug bear, if you will, and then a remake of the noki from a few months ago because that older one just kinda pissed me off after the pianta i made recently LMAO
unknown.png

and then i proceeded to take. a creature which is a pair of legs essentially. and put it in the space outfitter. and dress it up. Like That. and it animates surprisingly well in the game??? especially for only being able to bend the legs and the midsection of the torso
unknown.png

and then i drew it because i really really liked how it turned out
reminder_this_is_clothing_and_a_pair_of_legs.png

more re-redraws of old ocs. i could honestly go even further with the designs
vague_inspiration_is_veilspun_flight_rising_LMAO.png

random critter
spikey.png

i also gave her a blush
20210506002918.png

remake of that rat mario doodle from the very very start of 2020
rat_mario_TWO.png
 
i promised it! idk why i said activity in that earlier post but there IS less art than usual. what stinks about exams is that i dont really get time to draw and i like drawing :{
oh right i tried to draw a thing based on an unused super paper mario texture of... a leaf?? it just looks like a wing seriously https://tcrf.net/Super_Paper_Mario#Fracktail.27s_Headgear
this_just_reminds_me_of_my_old_art.png

ok so i drew this on may 12th, which is actually exactly a month after i first drew her, and it didnt occur to me until two days later. anyway for some reason i struggled a lot with drawing this and like how hard can piantas be to draw seriously
I_HAVE_EXAMS_TOMOROW.png

leaf dragon, just "dragon", a dragon of darkness (curiously enough i combined two unrelated creatures, the older one just being called a dragon of darkness and the other one having that in its description), and a bug thing where spore kept being very uncooperative
unknown.png

i think my friend came up with the idea???

i guess not havin much time to draw led to me only drawing indulgences... therefore, this post only features sunshine npc species and some spore creatures. whoops
starbound pianta Again but i had the foresight to just frickin trace a model instead of whatever i did last time and it looks so much better || nothing i can do about the line eyes though...
frickin_pianta_but_example.png

also some skin colors. except i just realised i need that purple from galaxy 2? is that even in galaxy 2 or only in noclip? anyway the colors wont be separated by genders this time, in This Mod I May Potentially Make,
colorz.png

heres cilia i accidentally gave her elbows
yes_algae_juice.png

and also it turned out her ridiculous hair shell thing actually works Fine in 3d, so heres some angles of that
unknown.png
unknown.png
unknown.png

thats what i was frickin talkin about !!!
time_to_start_saving_these.png

i accidentally found out again about a spore creature i made all the way back in early 2013. and i have ape brain and i thought "grass skirt. some other things. what if i make this a tree people" and thus i did make this a pianta
which also looked better in my mindddd but what can i do ?
i_can_also_absolutely_convert_her_back_into_a_spore_creature.png
 
i tried to scrape by. next week should have more art though since exams will FINALLY end
lily minecraft. lily minecraft (also should be her final color scheme hopefully)

more progress on the starbound mod thing i may or may not finish someday maybe, heres a bunch of clothes and mockups and yet more colors ! and heres the link in the pic http://smswiki.shoutwiki.com/wiki/Docs/NPC_Info

clothes_mockups.png

right this here on th eleft is a species that already exists in stabround but with slight modifications to the appearance from Yours Truly ,||||which is a mod i actually made like years ago and still use
guess_whos_suppsoed_to_be_studying.png

might as well do a lil practice too why not
awesome.png
and i also drew the beetl again. didnt forget the jaws this time. i guess this is gonna be a representation of me now
bug_sona_now_i_guess.png

more star frickin bound this is using default colors because i was like, planning out colors for nokis. ill make them at Some point if i even finish piantas
unknown.png
 
there! more art! it may slow down for a bit again though because i guess i had to have more exams chucked at my face...

sometimes love cobras/snakes are found in different colors!
yea_hehe.png

finally got to play spore and then proceeded to do this on the right. and then i forgot to pick a different coat pattern thing. whoops
recursions.png

wow cilia literal character development (i also realised a few days later that having a ridiculously spikey head isnt a barrier to wearing shirts because nokis can tuck their heads and also limbs in the shell fine)
this_realisation_came_to_me_last_night_extremely_abruptly.png
 
had free time for real now but i also kind of really wanted to play many games and didnt end up drawing that much, but ill start drawing more!
this was when i was supposed to be studying but i was also crying over studying so i decided to just play spore instead
colorz.png

This was an Attempt at a sort of city in the sky, but unfortunately the particle effects are highly uncooperative and so it didnt work out as well as i hoped

this here is a spore kind of week
i started another playthrough that week, i got it to zealot! it went carnivore -> social -> aggressive -> religious. its theme is showing the evolution of a species even after creature stage by utilizing subtle coat changes
unknown.png

something made me come up with this drawing idea and i just had to draw it
the_creature_ever.png

totally real reason for why they (presumably) cut rabbid yoshi from sparks of hope
and yoshi (yoshi) is probably just busy having a snack idk
this_is_totally_why2.png

after like 2 years since the first and last time i did it, i make another spaceship based on a cell. this is actually for the zealot guys which,
unknown.png

here they are! you can see some little changes in their colors. also i accidentally overlaid the cell on the civ one and missed it until later oh well it doesnt really block any important detail that you cant already see on the space one
cool_beans.png

im back at my starbound mod nonsense because starbound noki is now Real||idk how im gonna make the torso shell work coding-wise but yheah
also due to some limitations i realised way too late both hte (head and torso) shell colors will have to match now which wasnt the case in sunshine... BUT : There will be No gender dimorphism Entirely
NOKI_REAL.png

random spore creature from my mind !||not a creature ive ever actually made in the game but it uses spore parts and patterns and is definitely make-able in the game
awesome.png

stylish as hell dress up of a creature i made a few months ago

EDIT: https://www.mariowiki.com/The_'Shroom:Issue_171/Community_Gallery im here with a drawing all the way from april and also look at bbq turtles thing im there im in the bottom left!!!!!!!

scribble-deathmatch1.png

little sparrow dragon i actually designed way back in 2016, intended for a browser pet sim. well it WAS supposed to be a dragon then but now that i draw it its just kinda... one of these weird quadrupedal birds i do sometimes
cool_beans.png

cool guys i made in algodoo (of all things) in 2014. the icy one is called "Vivezal" and the winged one is "Tamazia"

20210709015408.png

for an event on a discord
this is from our convo on kong names from random objectives recently. i planned to make a few more from what i generated but this one was enough........ meet grey kong who is very much not (she also responds to gabby)
monky.png

transcribing the text because yeowie its a little hard to read on a light background:
grey kong was only sort of grey for a very short period during her childhood when she was named, only for her to grow up and turn yellow anyway. whoops!

(i seriously cant believe i found such a fitting real life basis for this (yellow-cheeked gibbon), for a joke i came up with literally on the spot no less)
 
I DID NOT EVEN REALISE it was a saturday
https://www.marioboards.com/threads/43896/post-2286823 as usual now, round 3 scribble. "the return of this random bonneter i drew one time in 2019 and then never again"

spores again, featuring a puppeteer, a poor attempt at the cool new ship from mario rabbids sparks of hope, this guy, plushy guy, this guy inspired by several pirahna plants, and owchie sharp wing

some dress ups of my creatures, featuring Fancy Feathery, the plant lookin guy, and then a remake actually. this guy went from "this guy HATES to have his cape get dirty and he has magical hand gesture things that clean the whole room" to "this guy HATES dirt he thinks his cape is special but it isnt and hes not the best cleaner to have ever existed like he thinks he is"

title"mama pipe and her piranha plantlets""YA GIRL CANT DRAW REAL HUMANS""the return of this random bonneter i drew one time in 2019 and then never again""what Mushroom is truly part of this Kingdom of life???""props if you get the reference""the bell is tiny and this probably makes no sense geographically but it also fits because mario is missing gets a lot wrong anyway""you know what they say: "You'd better be careful when speaking to powerful Piantas." also i did the classic kid thing of having a sun in the corner of the image and birds that are just V's"
Yeagh i went Overboard with titles. a title character limit is totally reasonable for next scribble deathmatch lmao. it.. definitely should exist
round 1: very convenient for the color i picked.. but otherwise i just kinda went with a weird warp pipe creature. i like how the piranha plants turned out!
curiously i put a bit more effort into this one than i did with the following bunch of scribbles (excluding the 7th one), though its not really that noticeable. its mostly just like. a few rimlights in places really?

round 2: indeed, i can not draw real humans so this prompt was a bit of an Uh Oh....... instead, theres the thing where i call new donkers Sims, and so i just went for a mysims joke. i like mysims! i think it turned out pretty creative. i also tried to be accurate to how mysims has a few meshes for the clothes that it then makes up a lot of textures for to make different kinds of clothes if it makes sense?

round 3: i couldnt think of much and i just went for the dumbest joke i could think of . the og pic of the random bonneter is found alllll the way Here (i had no idea the caption i wrote for that drawing would align so well with the title of this scribble too Wow)

round 4: first thought with this prompt was to joke about the floating landmass thing in odyssey. but i also had an alternative idea, which was a biology joke! and i dont think i can really draw landscapes! so i went with that instead instead of going for the locations theme hehehe (also shoutouts to the random smrpg enemy)

round 5: had no ideas but i kept thinking of these sonic vids from this guy https://www.youtube.com/user/Rogerfromimp/videos and went for that. knuckles in those likes to shout IM CONFUUUSED URAARAHAHGHHH and then he proceeds to beat the hell out of things. Fits boom boom

round 6: this was Tricky... i ended up poking around mario wiki a little, and going for the mario is missing thing. i also sure did learn a few things about its bells thanks to wikipedia. like one of the towers has just two big ol bells and theyre the largest ones? i referenced a pic of one for my scribble pretty thoroughly
huh this luigi DID turn out pretty cute like ive been told

round 7: i really lucked out with this prompt!!! i like mario sunshine. actually. and piantas. im glad i got to end the tournament on a high note with something i got to be passionate about, so i actually put the most effort into this scribble and it turned out my favorite out of all my other scribbles! it actually has Things going on even if not much!!!
i also put in a few more references to sunshine itself, mostly this artwork https://www.mariowiki.com/File:Smsaftergame.jpg but also the textbox and making the sun resemble the health meter (awesome)
in retrospect i shoulda saved the "classic kid thing" thing for these explanations instead of making the scribbles title ridiculously frickin huge 😶

i didnt put it in the table bc it wasnt that important but: i won round 1, lost round 2, won round 3, lost round 4, won round 5, won round 6, won round 7. making for a total w-l-t of 5-2-0 and score of 5,0. i didnt mind the losses! it was still just so much fun to draw scribbles and see everyone elses scribbles! this tournament was an incredibly fun time

EDIT: will update with some bonus sorta scribbles when i can. if anyone misses the edit ill notify about it in my next post if i remember

EDIT 2 diiddyddydys kong quest:
