zel weekly art thread

[zel]

we have a lot here this time and even a ton of spore!

Spoiler

i thought about the minecraft track, dragon fish, and suddenly realised i wanted to draw . a dragon fish
to make sure it was Authentic i also was listening to the song itself and took the color scheme from guardians as well

actual plush i have, sold as a generic dinosaur plushie iirc. i love him

bunch + a better remake of like the oldest creature i have saved

this wouldnt really be possible as an actual costume in rayman legends cause of the hat being too wide and the lack of sleeves but wahtever!

sometimes i make pig puns drawings. anyway heres pigeon

more flight rising fanart ???? a mix of breeds because i seem to keep getting spirals and bogsneaks on what flight rising breed are oyu quizzes

now spiral coatl for no reason other than the fact that i remembered i drew a spiral and bogsneak mix back in 2017 as well as a few others including this one

this fella

meeting with an all new world. i tried to have something inteersting and then didnt manage to again

i started doodling something in paint while looking for rayman 3 music then realised i ctually really liked how it was turning out so i dragged it over to paint.ne to finish it and im really happy with it

this dude from the spore dump earlier? get ready for their space outfit. which is an edgy teenage phase.

these i was playing through creature stage with by only eating eggs (and fruit yea). it was pretty dam fun!

im bored so im hecking around with spores launch states. heres another one from the hidden cell editor

as well as a land vehicle with air and water vehicle parts because i was given the power to do that

ok not perfect but an attempt at replicating how the rayed man in that lil cutscene looked
might reanimate it entirely with globox someday but for now thisll do

found this drawing from october 2014 of a supposed fakemon i just never finished. now this doesnt have to be a fakemon at all! they can just be a Fella

might heck around and start remaking at least some of the rayman 3 creatures in spore
so heres https://raymanpc.com/wiki/en/Bonton im genuinely kinda impressed with how it turned out

now https://raymanpc.com/wiki/en/Mawpaw
the animations arent the best doe to the limb neck but what can you really do about it its spore

this dude i actually SKETCHED OUT first (Wow!!!!)

i just started by picking three random base parts and then kept going and ended up with like. the best spaceship ive done ever?

i just started another playthrough yesterday cause i really really wanted to and there was no one to stop me. i dunno what archetype im going with im just winging it

oh fourth page??

 

[Hooded Pitohui]

Zelen, I realized your art was a treat as it is, but not until this moment did I realize how fun it is to go through and read the filenames of the images you post in this thread.
Some of these are really rather amusing.

 

[zel]

hehehe omg thank you!!! i always make sure to make my filenames at least something interestin

 

[Ray Trace]

Toad Teensy should have really been a costume omg

 

[zel]

nothing much to say here weve got drawings and spores

Spoiler

we continue off of yesterdays post with the civ outfit of these fellas. they ended up ecologists again. i cant say im not a lil disappointed with that

what if bird. was frog

remake of an old ass creature i dont have saved anymore, half from memory and half from awful drawings from when i was 8

more remakes and a guy thats BACKWARDS

some vryte (not that the sepcies had a name or anything at the time) ocs ive made in like late 2011 and i completely forgot about them until now because i havent drawn either one since. im gonna retcon them into current vryte lores!
the girl one had absolutely no information or defining characteristics. the blue one was apparently brought in by a heron (yes a heron not a stork) and thus stood on one leg a lot?? like herons apparently do but they actually dont??

going feral over feral so i drew a thing

kinda half a doodle but fantasizing how i want my senri to look like when i get a graphics card that DOESNT warp the player textures and make me unable to make any remotely complex designs

they revealed news for that swish expansion and i just felt the need to draw galarian zapdos because the design salps

i wanna start makin an unique outfit for the rescuable teenies in all legends worlds. this one took a while to research but i think it turned out pretty good

Thingy!

another dump. i triede to go for some more unique body types than i do usually

i just thought about sea angels and i had to draw it

wanted to heck around with a 1px brush to see how itd look

 

[zel]

yea not much here once more theres some im happy with though!

Spoiler

my brain told me to doodle toad and ??? im actually really happy with this??? considering how much trouble i keep having with toads

more varied body types!

more r3 stuff https://raymanpc.com/wiki/en/Glute https://raymanpc.com/wiki/en/Wooglah these suck really bad

redrew a thing from early 2018, which is in the same image and its really funny. [looking at my old art] how are you that small

emryo

and some aquatic willosaurs! i even tried to replicate the swimming animation with invisible limbs

also recreating stuff from spore in spore lmao. this broken down vehicle is in one of the c&c backgrounds for the creature editor

another early 2018 thing redrawn

flight rising??!?!!?!?!??! funny dragon game????! heres a mith i love miths they are the best

mario + rabbids bee .

it appears i am on a drawing spree so heres raymario in the real

 

[zel]

this one is where i experiment with a 1px brush a lot!

Spoiler

eerie! i dont know where i was going with the shading but sometimes you just needa heck around

practicing the thinner lines with stuff like webbing (and also a bird wing lmao)

bidy

for osme reason i drew a Lot of angry birds doodle

creachers

i felt like another playthrough.. i actualyly havent beaten it yet! my time is being occupied by Othre Video James! just beat tribal last time

peter the piranha plant

my brain told me to draw a cool bird

and that, a day after, got me to heck around with scales like this

lemy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[zel]

ive been kinda slacking off this week but also drawig WAY more with a 1px brush!

Spoiler

flighted racing https://www1.flightrising.com/dragon/27666491 my custom progen!

aonther attempt at a spaceship, using random base parts again. they all turned out to be boat parts. whoops

more weird critters. the green one is also wtihout modifying one of the default bodies

still kinda obsessing over mario + rabbids and i would really really like this to happen in da sequel

more adventure enviroments yippie!!! i meant to make a small town on the mountain but then got too carried away with covering it in plants so i kept it that way
also its super barren on the back lmao

remake of some old ass creatures ive kinda obsessed over for 3-4 months Only and then forgot about them forever. for some reason there was an earlier color variant that was slightly lighter in color that i never used for anything else but i have retconned it into sexual dimorphism! the girls are less colorful but buffer

ive been sitting on this oc idea for trhe past few months but basically. crocodilian lady with no info whatsoever yet

 

[zel]

we have some doodles? and some stuff i do be pretty happy with at least!

Spoiler

more hidden cell editor shenanigans + me randomly remembering it actually has asymmetry and making a crab

the first king is just cranky kong here he is

so i had a yoshis island screenshot saved a bunch back and decided to redraw it in tux paint.. i LOVE how it turned out

https://tcrf.net/Proto:Pokémon_Gold_and_Silver/Spaceworld_1997_Demo/Pokémon cries

i actually got my ass up and drew globox again wow! god i need to draw him way WAY more often than that

another yoshis island thing from nep enuts domain. this looked better in my head

wanted to try out a kinda fur pattern but it ended up looking ilke leaves instead so i ran with it

at least make sure the artifacts you dump on your planet for storage arent haunted!

also this looks super messy but i swear ive packed a buncha lil details in it try to look at it up close?

rotten mushrooms designs slap so heres dode

 

[zel]

more laziness? but look theres globox also

Spoiler

ya

spent a stupid amount of time REDRESSING this maxis creature to have a stupid looking jacket with stupid looking pants instead of whatever the og was because i dunno

more enviroments! more moss on big rocks !
also i actually remembered to set a setting for picture size this time so now its 2880x1800

i had a rayman fan cahracter idea since MARCH and it took so long to finally act on it. Yea so theres two of them also though one is much less developed! neither of them have names!

i love doodling one of my cats like she is just a silhouette

raym

feral is good. or fer.al . anyway heres my senri

doodle while my itnernet was DEAD

I;m thinking about thos Gulpits

just in case lemme know if the rayman pics break because the server i originally uploaded them on just kinda.. died. not gonna elaborate on dat

 

[zel]

no drawings for several days but then i went off the rails with doodles.and then about half of this is spore

Spoiler

a cell based off of these crop circles you see sometimes. i think. the screenshot with this one (on the right) is from 2016 so i dont know for sure

felt like remaking some really old creatures. here we have Weird Toothy Thing, Horse Bird, Ice Dragon Gator and Fire Dragon Gator

you know when the lil cowards just stand on their lil platform and keep making chomps and refuse to actually get anywhere near you

actually finished a playthrough this time, went with bards! also they name is literally Gator

a few days ago me and my mom were digging around for something and i ended up findig this thing and im honeslty obsessed (irl pics https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/521051137839726605/732605262883454976/IMG_20200714_173101.jpg https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/521051137839726605/732605263491891210/IMG_20200714_173105.jpg)

more remakes! theyre always fun to do you cant judge me

you know that mario pic

im really in a doodling mood it seems so im looking at my art from like 2014 (the tiny ones here) and wondering how id draw it now. yes im so sorry for mlp.

a random very vivid idea of a plant monster head/neck design came to my head and i had to act on it

 

[zel]

we have some pretty interesting ones here!

Spoiler

i like that wallpaper somewhere in peachs castle in mario 64 so heres a tux paint drawing based on it

actually had a drawin idea so heres a flamingo

random toad designs theres a lot you could do here! also some headcanon thrown in there why not

ocs from around 2014, of a species that was very common on a site at the time. i have no idea what kinda creachers they are now! the green/cyan one is midiori, the orange one is fai(like fi in fire). i have two others id like to draw later on too!

oc doodle

me and my friend both decided to make an anomalocaris after seeing a tweet, and then theres feathery bird man and scuttlebug 2

havent done a skin in a while so heres another attempt at lemmy

youve seen lakitu fishing in water. fishing in cold water. fishing in sand. fishing in poison. now get ready for fishing in Lava

butch hartman did a thing and everyone was replying with their own better sonic drawings and even i wanted to draw one. from memory no less

the smw prototype leaks are also giving me a fair bit of drawing material!!!! heres this one

another leaked prototype, super donkey. i resprited the player character into rayman because yea

 

[zel]

we got marios we got linguini

Spoiler

lasagna? louis?

spore teensy! clothes look stupid though but you know.. spore

wanted to draw marios hair

made that early yoshi in sculptgl. also someone pinged me with a delet this meme calling it cursed directly to my face so thats fun

more flight rising. heres a sorta water noggle

colored a mario paint thing! https://www.spriters-resource.com/snes/mariopaint/sheet/40868/

epic typo lead to this (heres rat mario by the way, from jan 1)

remembered i used to do pokemon fusions! so heres a more unique thingy with parts from fearow (only the body and neck though), winter sawsbuck, zweilous, charmeleon and archeops

 

[zel]

this one contains starting smaugust a week late so im starting to catch up for now

Spoiler

for some reason were starting off with a 3 sec long doodle

an event on the 1up world discord!

for the make-a-partner event!!! i dont know what she would do in battle besides like, having a gimmick where she can become angy and it acts like that berserk status that was going to be in pm64 at some point (iirc the character becomes stronger but acts on their own recklessly). field ability is probably just flight with added verticality!

baby bowser when he actually had a distinct design

just mindlessly drew a fishie and fully indulged into my aesthetic with the colors

for a few weeks straight i just KEPT forgetting to play spore so i got to it and made some critters

and then another adventure thing a day later. ended up kinda similar to the bridge one, and not as cool, but im happy with it anyway

more 3 sec long doodles but i just love how the raven in the bottom right turned out for no reason

and heres smaugust, starting to catch up! using this prompt list

and the second one, went for something unique with a cave painting look. it ended up not fitting much with the prompt but im still very happy with it!

the third one. i gave them a whole bunch of feelers because its gonna be pretty useful for cave animals

and finally for now, dog

for the last one heres that rayman oc i made a month ago and havent drawn since. i Finally gave her a name. looking forward to drawing her more often

 

[zel]

and thus ends smaugust because i didnt feel like it LMAO sorry

Spoiler

attempt at combining a quetzalcoatlus (dinosaur) and quetzalcoatl (the deity) that ends up just looking like a weird bird

went for a peacock spider pattern instead of anything actually resembling a spider. didnt want to trigger anyones arachnophobia

just made this one in spore instead lmao

this ones probably my favorite of what ive made for smaugust

last one . i caught up and then didnt feel like making anything after this whoops

i like how this luigi turned out also theres a teemnsy. teensie. is there an y or an ie at the end the games themselves cant decide

i had a huge brain moment and made this

was kinda upset over something so i just went heck it and kept making stuff in spore to calm down

and heres more playthroughs. this is from a few days ago so i already forgot how stupid the face looked with the eye GOD anyway i think these are gonna be shamans?

edit: revised version they have wings now

 

[zel]

i go nuts sometimes? theres some stuff im real happy with here

Spoiler

shading color tests. they barely look different actually

accidentally found out yesterday that that pencil brush in ms paint can make for some surprisingly accurate mario like shading so i tried it out

another attempt at an adventure enviroment, not that happy with it but eh

thinking about that silly lego robert the omb, featuring like 3 different light sources because whoops

this was. a stupid doodle of my eldritch abomination of a roblox avatar but i actually kinda like how it turned out (and yea that arm is actually just floating)

https://www.mariowiki.com/File:MKT_Wing_Glider_Pipe.png every single time i look at this image of the butterfly glider from mario kart tour i keep thinking mario himself has gorgeous shimmery wings. i had to act on it

pissed at the only official virus models we have kinda sucking so i went and made my own. curiously the day after i made this i managed to get sick. have i wronged her?

ya girl feels great embarassment about liking these every time! anyway yea im pretty happy with this

spore stuff, mostly remake of some weird creatures ive spent little to no effort on at the time. its fun to do!

 

[zel]

.... really not a lot this week

Spoiler

https://www.fantasynamegenerators.com/alien-descriptions.php used this to generate a critter but i had to take some liberties with the colors so it wouldnt look ugly. heres a weird cat bug thing

whole building set based on tribal stage huts, also comparing the city hall to the actual huts and seeing how itd look in a tribal stage enviroment! i suck at building editors so im really happy with this

i asked the 1up world discord to give me obscure mario enemies to doodle! also added some of my own by the end

also a tar fish from donkey kong jungle beat doodle earlier that day i think

au where big top is just a bonneter cause he pretty much already is. this is a better version of a drawing i made in 2018 (and i actually gave him the eyelashes this time though quite short cause only female bonneters have those in odyssey.. hm)

and @ worm man atcually looking like this: https://smallmariofindings.tumblr.c...c-ballyhoo-from-mario-party-8-without-his-hat

i just whipped up a quick test cause i had an idea for clothes a strictly quadrupedal species would have and these unnamed guys actually look really interesting to develop??? i may develop this species later on

 

[zel]

like half of this is spore whoops! but theres also some cool actual mario art too

Spoiler

a spaceship, again with the randomly picked base parts

another playthrough. i was intending to go knight but i looked at this and realised they cant go aggressive in tribal and military in civ. so they ended up traders instead

thinking about forbidden koopalings (https://www.suppermariobroth.com/post/176991355390/the-cd-rom-version-of-the-1994-educational-title, https://tcrf.net/Super_Mario_World_(SNES)#Koopaling) though im missing the recolor of one and like. two other copies of another. alongside early broodal concept art with 4 girl koopas(?) if you wanna go that deep

since im in the mood right now i also did a revised drawing of bowsers sister from last year, which is based on an off handed mention in a song for a weird obscure (official) comic and nowhere else

i just remembered the way plants are made in this game is strikingly similar to how creatures are so i went and made some plants in the creature editor. the game DOES have a plant editor but its unused and barely works

and also some tests, manually replacing random plants in an area with gates disguised as those creatures!

also remakes of some oldish creatures i was really happy with back when i made them but arent up to my standards anymore. also served as a nice test for bird wings!

i turned on spore again to try and make bob omb battlefield and i realised it was going horrible so i went and tried to make a rogue with the lowest possible stats instead

so i made a test apartment build that looks piss ugly from the outside since i did Not bother with how it looked. we got four basic rooms with nothing in them and some stairs. mainly it was to test 2 block thick walls so the rooms could have like a wallpaper and such. good enough base for a more realistic apartment build later on

also im linking these cause they take up a lot of space: first, second(the one shown here), third, fourth, fifth

thinking about pm64 mariowwwwactually drawn near entirely in ms paint with some paint.net magicks!

i just woke up today and im surprised the concept in my mind was pretty vivid for this. had to draw it

 

[Vivian]

Loving your Mario OC's

 

[zel]

htank you!! i dont have a mario oc though. not anymore at least, this post mentions one i had at some point and i also had some toad ocs kinda. back when i thought i was gonna get a wii u with smash 4 i was hoping to make toad miis and i planned them out way too far in advance. by the time i actually got a smash game which is ultimate i just didnt care about them anymore whoops

(GOD have i improved in 5 years)
like Ten Days Later i scrapped the green one for some reason. TEN DAYS (and then i never drew either again since)
none of them had names i think i am just never good at names. the only bit of info is that the green one is a dude and the red one is a girl and way more smiley this is all stupid
.....you know what????? i might redraw them actually

anyway id like to make an oc that actually has at least a small amount of thought put into it . none of these 2015 ones counted as such
this ramble was completely unwarranted but i hope yall found it interesting at least

 

[Vivian]

oh i i meant mario as a franchise, sorry for the confusion my bad

 

[zel]

its ok!!! no big deal

 

[zel]

we have plenty of ms paint drawings of Critters..

Spoiler

remember how the last post ended with that wyvern fae thing. i said id develop it later and later turned out literally like. 2.5 hours after i drew that one...

(i apologize for mlp in advance) i havent watched any of the episodes with those purified changelings or whatever but i just remembered their design is piss ugly and got mad so i decided to make a buggier horse. coulda been better thought through but eh

was a day late ot spores anniversary but i made something to celebrate anyway

tried making a poseable thing in spore, going off of what i remembered from a tutorial that seems to be gone now, and turns out its gonna be realllly uncooperative if you wanna do anything with it whoops

hermit crabs

hehe i mentioned this earlier so here they are (and link to the old piss ugly designs too)

also why is spear pronounced speer but pear pehr why is english so stupid

no drawing ideas so im gonna rely on some cool creature generators (http://orteil.dashnet.org/randomgen/?gen=animal.txt, http://orteil.dashnet.org/randomgen/?gen=creature.txt)
one looks way doodlier because my mouse was kinda uncooperative thats how you can tell i drew it first lmao

 

[zel]

im pretty sure this is the week with the least amount of stuff so far and i honestly dont know why i hope its ok though : (

Spoiler

so there was an event on a discord to draw somethign related to your favorite mario game!! and i took this as an opportunity to draw some characters (peach and bowser) ive never drawn seriously before!

not sure how much that fits here but i was watching a gnoggin vid and realised lucarios shiny is piss ugly so i made it cooler. i dont even care for the actual pokeymon that much but i still wanted to do it

and im aware it doesnt look that clean, with the random yellower dots in places, but its the og sprites fault for using the dark grey pixels for lines in places

some weirder spore critters than usual!! we have a super weird limbed zigzag bug thing, a real not fake flamingo, flower turtle with a bug mouth, centaur tube mouth guy, and leggy jumpy guy

ive been intending to draw this with the other two creature generator drawings last time but kinda didnt feel liek it at the time and then kept putting it off. so heres a reptilian eight limbed weasel thing (https://www.fantasynamegenerators.com/animal-descriptions.php)

 

[zel]

ya girl forgot about this thread for an entire day so the thread title stands
anyway!! the amount of things is def better than last week and we got some marios

Spoiler

the first ones gonna be some spore though

i had no drawing ideas but just one thought... Super Mario BRos. 2? Super Mario Bros. 2? i especially like how the birdo turned out

DRY BONSE DRY BONES Dry Bones

drawing some mario enemy characters designs for nothing in particular, featuring a bzzap, bandit and goombeetle. im trying to find an oc idea maybe one will stick!!!

im leaning on the bandit right now but well see. i really gotta look for a while

heres.. at least an attempt at a dino rhino in spore! or you can view it as an interpretation. i wasnt able to get it to look accurate because of spores limitations but i did my best
also they ended up reallllly frickin wide

then a shadowy guy, kinda made to match a planet i accidentally made earlier that day. its actually a surprisingly pretty planet too

mindless creature doodles

shadowy guy again but drawn

also?? i hope its ok theres not much art lately, especially fully detailed ones. i dunno i just may be having a bit of Not Feeling Like Drawing Much moments. i still try though
