Day 5 Done! I Had To Really Fight My Face Blindness On This One, But I Hope I Was Able To Do Her Justice.

Hello! Please call me Iris. I'm a longtime lurker in fandom spaces who has finally gotten brave enough to interact. I hope to start posting art and theories soon, and would be happy to talk about any of my interests! I am still learning Tumblr etiquette, so if I'm breaking any rules, please let me know.

I'm currently interested in:

-Hermitcraft! I started watching Season 8 and have been a fan ever since. Life got busy and I missed parts of Season 9, but I'm catching up while also watching Season 10

-Transformers! I love all forms of Transformers media, but my favorites are Transformers Animated, Rescue Bots, the IDW comics, and G1!

-Team Fortress 2! I'm pretty new to the community, but I've consumed every comic, SMF, and piece of gameplay footage I can find. I haven't played the game, as multiplayer things scare me, but I hope to someday!

-Green Lantern! I've read pretty much everything written after 1990 and will happily annoy anyone with analysis and theories about my favorite lanterns!

-Trigun! Maximum is my favorite, but '98 and Stampede are also great !

-Marble Hornets! I am currently starting my yearly rewatch of the series. I have also watched a few of the Slenderverse series, but haven't finished them yet

Things that I like, but am not up-to-date on:

-TMNT! I am also new to this fandom, and have only finished ROTTMNT. Recommendations on where to start with other shows and comics would be much appreciated

-One Piece (I know most of the spoilers but haven't kept up with the manga or anime since Dressrosa...yikes)

I am also a literature major turned English major, so I might occasionally ramble about books!

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

Do YOU have an email address? If so click this link to sign the petition to show Valve we want this game to be functional again!

If you DONT have and email address... you should make one, they are pretty handy, and its free!

here is the one without text, I'm not the best at making posters lol.

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 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 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 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 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

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.
