Ida’s old creature concept from 2020, before i decided to make her a werewolf. Her design was inspired by the common gliding lizards (Draco sumatranus) and colugos. I’m still very proud of this design and have been debating on bringing it back :]

Rathalaugust 2023 (catchup) day 21: Fulgur Anjanath

I combined my love of Anjanath chilling with its sail up with the apparent lore that the babies are fully feathered (before they lose much of it as adults).

#rathalaugust2023 #monster hunter #anjanath #fulgur anjanath #kobb art #sketchbook #for some reason a lot of people diss standard anjanath but I love it also #there's just a lot of cool behavior it has #it's a great single example of the way MH World was designed re: the way it focuses on ecology & interaction with the game environment #the way its nose expands into an eldritch horror and the mucus relates to its limited fire abilities AND the traces you can track #you can follow it around and *watch* it marking its territory by snorting flammable boogers on it #underrated friend

So I spoke somewhat about my thoughts on Emanator Sampo here, but I never really thought of it from a design point of view or what kind of powers he would have until just recently. But I actually kind of love leaning into it from a "stage hand" perspective?

Because like. Aha's body in THEIR official art is completely black, giving attention to all the fun brightly colored things around THEM. And that's so fitting for Sampo! He usually prefers to be a side character. He likes to act from the shadows. His is a much more subtle hand.

So I wonder if as an Emanator, a lot of his clothes are actually very dark? Not necessarily plain, still extravagant and needlessly detailed in things like cut and quality with lots of different fabrics and textures and ornamentation, but dark. Or maybe even his skin itself becomes blackened further down his body; his hands in particular are dark, as a sort of sleight of hand reference.

The motif of a lot of straps wrapped around him like in his canon design is still present, but they're all loose and flowing off of him like paper streamers now instead of restraining him or holding him together. He is no longer contained! Or maybe they're still a bit more rigid/heavy, but just draped more like red stage curtains!

And this is like. Fully self-indulgent, but I love inhuman designs, and there's nothing in canon to say I can't do this, so screw it! Go for broke!! Maybe it's not visible to normal people, but Sampo having a second set of arms would be really cool, as further sleight of hand reference. One set is almost normal looking, but his hands are a bright, attention-drawing white, and the other is dark, set almost in the shadows of the first arms, to act less noticeably.

He also has something of a broken heart design to him in canon (the front of his black shirt with its jagged shape down the middle; his coat looks like a full heart shape in the back), and I actually like him keeping that element as an Emanator, because I think it suits him. Sampo says his taste in aesthetics and views on Elation involve human dignity,

and the story he helps create in Belobog involves the long and winding road of resistance and survival and eventual triumph in the face of some very adverse, oppressing odds. (I'm pretty sure I heard he once called Wildfire "artless" though, plus the man acts like he thinks Shame is some kind of dessert, so like ndkdjzjskkd) But the point being!!

I think Sampo is someone who can appreciate heartbreak and angst and tragedy in a story, because it makes the victory at the end all the sweeter. And this would be another thing he shares with Aha, because I think THEY did bless the Mourning Actors partly just to be a little shit, but also because Aha does recognize tragedy as part of THEIR Path, too, and you can see it in some of the game. So a broken heart motif can still suit him, and I like him having elements of both comedy and tragedy. Like his clothing having a happy sun/sad moon (like the moon in Aha's art) or him having both of the traditional comedy/tragedy masks in his design.

And as Emanator, Sampo can maybe play with the stage settings environment, too. Like lights sometimes behave strangely around him, appearing blindingly bright to someone or dramatically dark. Sampo wills it and suddenly there seems to be a metaphorical spotlight right where he wants everyone to look. And when he doesn't want to be noticed, his face seems to be cast in shadow, he seemingly just fades into the background, no one notices or recognizes him and he sneaks away easily. He can create smoke or fog literally out of thin air without his bombs now, too, the air will just suddenly thicken until his stage is obscured, and Sampo can set the scene as he pleases or disappear without a trace.

And in line with being a stage hand, Sampo can direct attention like no other. He was already extremely good at this as a normal mortal, and becoming an Emanator only took it up to 11, past human limits. Sampo points, and all present feel compelled to follow his fingertip. He looks away, and they all follow his gaze. He can even affect the mood of an audience; he can influence everyone to be calm and placid or he can whip them into a feverish frenzy. Sometimes a crowd will start to become unsettled, agitation stirring until it boils over, until it incites a full on violent mob.

And in the middle of all that chaos will stand one perfectly calm figure, face cast in shadow, until they quietly slip away out of sight.

#sampo koski #hsr sampo #emanator sampo #hsr sampo koski #honkai star rail #hsr #they were talking about Emanator Sampo designs in the Sampard Nation server one night and somehow THAT was what got my mind going fjkdaljfk #there was also talk of him making monsters explode in confetti or making their heads pop off like a jack-in-the-box (my contribution hehe) #which is hilarious but just wasn't super relevant here jfklasdj #(I miss bouncing around ideas like that...if anyone knows another sampard server or even just a sampo-dedicated one hit me up!) #(i would love to join and would probably even have friends to bring!!) #but anyway yes I love Emanator Sampo being stage hand themed haha it's very fun with him #I have a lot of screenshots so I wanna try to use them for things like this more! #I think its in SU where it says Aha isn't as powerful an aeon as some of the others like Qlipoth or Lan or Nanook #so I like Sampo's powers being less direct and not just pure destructive power like a lot of the Destruction Emanators #it lets you get real creative with it <3 #maybe next I'll bring over my thoughts on his mask design? Ooh but I wanna talk about Geppie too... #Geppie protecting his soldiers from Cocolia or the actions he could have taken or his very sweet relationship with Bronya- #-or him being inspired by Serval or his HILARIOUS relationship with Pela... #Decisions decisions...

"hey guys play this game instead of Palworld bc it didn't plagiarize Pokemon!"

the game in question:

#hazy rambles #palworld #nexomon #not to shit on nexomon im currently playing through it and im having a lot of fun and loving those creature designs #but also can't help but take mental notes of the double standards among people #why is this fine and not direhowl for example? #where do you draw the line? #are you mad bc the pocketpair CEO was into NFTs and AI? #then you're gonna have to avoid digimon yokai watch and monster hunter bc the owners of those have been into AI and NFTs as well #world of final fantasy as well foamstars has AI generated images within it #also should've clarified this earlier on but since this game is on nintendo eshop it means nintendo is absolutely chill with this game #and i wasn't trying to imply it plagiarizes pokemon #and if nexomon isn't plagiarism despite coming REALLY close to pokemon then palworld isn't plagiarism either #have a nice day

I really liked this idea and want to see more, but I also have a few questions.

Since Clover got the appearance of his friends, why doesn’t he have anything from Dalv?

Clover somehow interacted with the UT characters, except Flyu and Alphys. I mean, how did Toriel react to him? Or whether he became friends with other UT characters.

I really like your drawing style, but when I see your monsters it seems to me that they are very bulky, especially for the Martlet, which personally always seemed very miniature to me. (P.S. This is a minus and not a remark, I’m just wondering why you decided to draw them exactly)

1) in a meta sense, adding dalv’s elements just made clover’s design look really cluttered, like more than it already was ahdjsf. in the first draft they had a bat nose and one of their wings was a bat wing. but i think they would have some of dalv’s lightning attacks!

2) maybe ill do more ut characters at some point! but no ones really asked for more aside from alphys (which i might touch on more) and i dont think. theyre super important in the space of this au. theyre hanging out on the sidelines and are there sometimes :]

3) just for fun :] i like when people make ut monsters look more “creature” and “animal” than human, so i played around with the designs a lot! martlet in particular is the biggest change from canon bc i wasn’t expecting to draw her as much as i have; if i did i definitely wouldn’t have changed her so much

#asked and answered #monster clover au #i think ceroba and martlet suffer from anime girl disease so i wanted to make em more animalistic for fun :] #when i firstdid my silly little redesigns i hadnt seen a lot of fun/unique takes on them #but now ive seen so many i think i would designthem differently! specifically marltet and starlo #i saw an owl martlet recently i was really fond of so i would either go owl or woodpecker route today #but ive had so mant people bitch and moan about my martlet design im sticking with it out of spite #sorry i love yapping ab character design in the tags LMAO #mcau lore

[Image ID: Inked digital drawing of Digimon character Justimon. Justimon is a humanoid with a heavily Tokusatsu superhero inspired design- wearing a bodysuit with multiple different armoured parts particularly around their left shoulder, elbow and wrist, ankles, knees and chest and abdomen area as well as rivets dotted around their body. They have a belt with a large circular belt buckle spiked at four corners in the middle, as well as a very long scarf. They have a metal helmet on with no facial features, and four metal antenna- two longer ones that are sticking up and two shorter ones sticking down at each ear area respectively. Their right arm- a redesign of the accel arm- is much longer and bigger, with sharp claws at the end of it. It is very mechanical looking, with tubing and more rivet and gear motifs, their right shoulderpad having a blunt spike coming up from the middle. They are in a mid action pose, as if they were jumping or running, looking to the side with their head slightly lowered, their left arm bent closer towards their body whilst the right arm is fully outstretched. There are dark patches of shadow around certain parts of their body and scarf as well as small action lines. /End Image ID]

This whole time I always thought of Monster High Zombies as rising from the grave, or in Ghoulia's case being born (which I figure is a pretty rare occurrence) but I never considered the idea of them being bitten and turned...

#monster high #ghoulia yelps #which is dumb since thats a thing zombies are known to do but like... #damn #could you imagine that being a thing in the mh universe? #i bet there's def a stigma around it #i was just thinking cuz im designing a zombie character and without thinking i gave one of her ears a bit mark #and then i was like...well now how did that happen #but i think it could be kinda cool in universe too #i have a lot of ideas around zombie-fication and the ways normies cross from their world to the monster world after death #the long and short is that some people are just more predisposed to rise from their graves as zombies or ghosts #like in runs in families but there are outliers #and i could imagine a zombie biting a loved one (with consent) so they can live in the monster world together #text post #im also obsessed with the idea of two siblings dying but one comes back as a zombie and the other a ghost #def gonna explore that idea when i get the chance
