Heya, I'm Peridots (any pronouns, they/it works fine)! Your average digital artist/entomology enthusiast!

Terfs, zionists and the like aren't allowed within about a hundred feet of my blog, however!

[Start ID. A Digital Drawing Of Gabriel And V1 From Ultrakill In Super-saturated, Pixellated Colors.

[Start ID. A Digital Drawing Of Gabriel And V1 From Ultrakill In Super-saturated, Pixellated Colors.

[Start ID. A digital drawing of Gabriel and V1 from Ultrakill in super-saturated, pixellated colors. It seemingly takes place during phase two of his second fight, judging by Gabe's bright yellow-cyan wings and the consequent blush shining through his helmet. Gabriel is pictured on the left, facing the left side of the screen with his head turned to V1, preparing to strike them with the bloodied spear in his right hand. Small but frequent splatters of blood dot his armor and outstretched wings, fabrics torn through in places. V1 is on the right, aiming its piercer revolver at his face. Their arms are stacked in pairs on either side, idle Feedbacker and Knuckleblaster on the left and Whiplash tucked atop their default arm on the right. Both parties are stylized to resemble insects, Gabe with beetle wings and a halo in the shape of antennae, and V1 with the four wings, four arms, short antennae and bristles expected of a dragonfly. End ID]

woah.... happy 1 year anniversary to gay people

also a couple alts (background removed, just gabe, and just v1, respectively) in hopes it'll be a little easier to understand what's going on and all!

additionally once again: special thanks to @magnumopos and @muzzleroars , neither of which I have actually spoken to in my life but both of which are credited with partially inspiring this! (dedicated section under the readmore due to the fact I do not generally tag people at all ever and wasn't sure if I should, but thought it was worth mentioning!) The former for giving me the wonderful idea of dragonfly V1, the latter for drawing V1 like a strange little creature + for the feedbacker plate, I enjoy both your works :]

so. this is officially at 600 notes. meaning it just beat out my most popular post by four and i have so much to say about it (very /pos) i'll just ignore categorization tags entirely for this srb to say. man. ok. i came up with the idea for this a month before I started on it i called it a “successor” to the nov29 gabe piece and i don't think any word will better fit it. all to say that i had big plans for this! i wanted to bring out all that the original did + expand upon it. wanted a chance to be self-indulgent with bright colors and gay violence and insect features and as ornate detail and lining as i could coherently give it. one of my major goals here was just to have fun!!! (sidenote in my plans i wrote that for some reason instead of searching for the ecstasy drawing on my OWN BLOG i just tumblr searched for “gabriel ultrakill”. and as i said on that day i am Not complaining cause i saw so much wonderful art. everyone here has such a cool style) anyway despite all this i was worried at the end. after all the time i'd spent on it; I worried it wasn't how I wanted it to turn out or that people wouldn't like it as much as i hoped they would. and boy could i not be more wrong i've had old and new followers like it. from mutuals to users i've never heard of. people i've seen around and people i really admire!! there've been numerous people in the notes i've never talked to whose characters i've had bookmarked as my highest priority in artfight!!! and there have been just so many nice comments. so many faves and woahs and so much yelling about cool colors and cool bugs. i so desperately wish i could respond to every single one of them. the uk community here is all so so kind and i love you all!!!! truly!!!! i just want to sum this up by saying i've never had my most popular post be something i cared about so much? y'know? thank you to everyone.

Finally Got Around To Finishing This Houugh... It Was A Lot Of Work But I Really Like The End Result!!

Finally got around to finishing this houugh... it was a lot of work but I really like the end result!! Naturally, I'll try my best to list some of the thoughts I have in mind for these guys below. Long post ahead!

These lizards are intended to be ALMOST fully arthropod-like but due to my lack of understanding of bug anatomy and creative liberties, they are in that gray spec bio area so don't take any inconsistencies too seriously (or rather, fuck logic, and accept them how I describe them regardless)

Inspirations: - my lesser detailed lizard design - my friend's slugcats - wasps for the head contours, various insects for the exoskeleton guidelines, caterpillars, various stylistic slugcats across the #rainworld tag - the burning need for something more detailed and cool in my drawing vocabulary

The actual meat of the post; extra facts: - Lizards are related to slugcats (in my au, if you wanna call it that?) or at least the very early version of them. This idea is borrowed from this post and in my au, lizards evolve a similar tail to a slugcat's to aid in propelling themselves through tight spaces, acting as a 5th limb. - Similar to my old vulture post, lizards share a similar lifecycle. The majority of the larval stage is spent underground and in tight spots, far from their main predator. Lizard larva will undergo pupation similar to how beetles do, leaving behind broken cavities in pipes where carnivorous plants favor to take root. Additionally to the vulture's terrible parental drive, they often mistake their own larva for lizard hatchlings. - A lizard's skin is leathery and retains moisture for quite a while. Some lizards have a thicker layered mantle than others, allowing them to take punctures to the abdomen and still recover. - Not pictured, but will be described, are a few outliers to the standard lizard body plan. Caramels have muscular hind legs akin to a grasshopper but this means their legs cannot slot together and thus they have a wider leg splay than other species. Eels and salamanders are not lizards but lizard mimics. Yellow lizards' antennae attach to a hump on the snout rather than the rear of the head as seen here. Cyan lizards' mantles are more square shaped due to their leap drums on either side of their bodies and have a 3rd mantle that runs the length of their tail and caps the tailtip. - Cyan lizard's organs are called leap drums and act similarly to our lungs. They are a ring of muscle which contracts and acts as a spring loaded mechanism to propel the creature via combustion through a mysterious chemical process. Because the color of debris left behind during a leap share the same color as the lizard, perhaps they are discarded scales, formerly in place to protect the cavities housing the explosion. - They have similar organs to vertebrates within their abdomen, probably surrounded by cartilage. (not that important, I haven't thought that much about this) - (More may be added later as I remember)

[Start ID. A Simple, Pixellated Drawing Of The Survivor From Rain World, Perched At The Edge Of The Cliff

[Start ID. A simple, pixellated drawing of the Survivor from Rain World, perched at the edge of the cliff atop the Wall. They stare off into the cloudy sky and stars above, ears back as if awestruck, centered in the image yet perspective makes them look so small and far-off. The palette is mainly composed of dark, saturated blues and purples, green stars and pale Survivor standing out amongst them. End ID.]

@doodle-birdo heard you didn't have a drawing for today and I've been too tired to participate for most of the month, so I gotcha covered :]
