Description
I had some plans involving this and The Path and The Children Of The Night/TLOS (The Land Of Seasons; my personal Pikmin au) but I'm not too sure if I'll go through with them. So enjoy this art. This is probs the last thing I'll ever upload on this account. Who knows, though?
I'll be learning how to paint instead of just drawing pikmin that just stand there, floating, posing, and looking pretty. Even if drawing pikmin that just stand there, floating, posing, and looking pretty is fun. I feel like I'm lacking my skills when it comes to drawing backgrounds and such. It took a day to find brushes to use to make the leaves, then practicing how to make said leaves look good and then starting it all over again because I had no clue how to draw trees (well, the texture. Mom did help me since she used to be an artist and funnily enough, she loved drawing trees back when she made art).
And yeah. Was planning to experiment drawing piks with mouths because fuck you this is my art and au I can do whatever I want. > : (
Update on things going foreword:
So yeah, I'm still planning on leaving DA but I have nowhere else to place this art/painting? for now. I wanna at least show it off here since I'm very proud of it. I was planning on making a speedpaint but I wasn't sure how to like...go about things? Like should I make like a few channels to split my content up by fandom/originality/projects? Should I try to get royalty-free music or just use game music? Should I make animations and if so, should I put them on the channel? Hell, is the channel idea a good idea?
But I don't even like this fandom anymore. The oc side that I care for is non-existent (even on PA where I made all my friends based around my characters and roleplaying. It all died off after I left out of anger for a while) and the people in the canon side are assholes under some conditions (not wanting to get into that) and I'm pretty much scared of a lot of people and I am hella afraid of Pikmin YouTubers (personal reasons) and the kids are extremely toxic and annoying and so are the adults (which is just...wow). I have nothing here anymore except the few friends I made and still somehow have after a few hellish years (but my life has always been a bit of a hell after my dad died. I should probs expect things to get worse since it's slowly getting worse lol).
Sad how this community was like the one I was in before it; got tired of it and wanted to move on (was a part of that little Eevee community on LittleBigPlanet (2. But I checked out some stuff on 1 and rarely on 3 since fuck 3 it was shit on launch and I'm still a little upset about that five years later). (Though leaving the Pikmin fandom a mixture of growing up/moving on and having my passion ripped out of me because of assholes and it slowly leading me to change as a person to the point I don't wanna share what I love anymore)
I will be keeping my characters. They mean the world to me. I'll never get rid of them. But I will change them to perhaps be "original" characters for my game/series/stories/whatever. Along with keeping them, I still might roleplay as the pikmin versions of them in private with friends or if I meet anyone outside the fandom that I trust but doesn't mind me using them as piks. I'm also probably staying in the Pikmin Expedition community, which is a Roblox fangame, but I'm not a fan of the most active users on the Discord server so I'm not too sure (plus Legion hasn't really updated the game much recently which is a shame but at the same time, people got lives to live (wish everyone there understood that) (currently taking a break from it except for a few channels so...).
I'm not sure if I wanna share much about my future works or how to try to build up a platform for my game (since I think I might need one if I wanna make a living working on my world and stories by creating things like games and novels) but I'm not sure if I should do animation memes (mostly due to copyrighted music but all the memes I like and the memes I would create would be based around copyrighted songs (if so, expect a ton of P!ATD animation memes to pop up because MMM Panic!) and I worry too much (also, if I ever end up finishing my game, I wouldn't mind people using the music as background music or stuff for games since, well, I wouldn't be here without games inspiring me and it would be kinda nice if I let people use the music I made for this stuff. Hell, it would be cool too) or speedpaints or what (YouTube feels like my own option to get a good enough platform but I learned video making and animating just...isn't my thing). But my goal in life is to share my characters and stories to the world so I'm not too sure.
Not too sure if I'll scrap TLOS as a whole but for now, I'm not gonna finish writing my fics. Just, lack of interest plus I got better things to work on now. I will most likely rework the characters from TP and TCOTN. Maybe it'll slowly fade away as I focus on my original works that I can actually make a living out of. The TLOS fics will get reworked into my new stuff too someday, I promise that. (Well...maybe...)
Wish me luck on my journey to complete my dream. Thanks for being here and watching my work throughout the years.
If you're curious, I use Paint Tool SAI 2 and an Ugee 1910b tablet but I can also use my mouse for lineart since I use the linework layer and also sketch if I felt like it.
Alt Version of this piece I had (I anciently made everything green instead of fall colors when I first started painting lol. Also, with unblurred versions as well because I still like how I shaded Harvest) (I also had to re-moving Harvest and blurring her so she and the bushes jump around lol).
