Selan draws too much: THE THREAD

[fadedShadow]

I haven't watched that, actually. Is it good?

It's rather funny, especially with all the different takes she does in different storytelling styles.
Her husband/fiance's shows are also hilarious.

But pretty much all of them are in a videogame base, so if you're not too familiar with the game, you may not get some of the jokes.

Hey guys it's time for Halloween art!
Which for once I actually have done really early rather than waiting and posting it like at 1am on November 1st. Or later. Hahaha.

First:



My characters Selan, Selanio, and Xeno cosplaying as their patron trolls!
Truly, drawing OCs doing bad cosplay is what Halloween is all about.
(these matchups are oddly appropriate though, which is great since I decided their birthdays years before I read Homestuck, yesssss)

And then also I made a spoooooky post on my Minecraft blog. Or I tried to make it spooky, anyway... spookiness is hard because all I know how to draw is cute things! D= It's like, okay, maybe this is scary? Nope, still adorable.
Anyway.
I'm still pretty happy with the art, spooky or not, so please read it if you are so inclined!

I wonder if I can get some fanfiction written before the day is through... hmm...

[Paosheep]

I am sorry/pleased to report that you were right. Your spooky art is absolutely adorable.

(It probably would have been spookier, but you got a X2 adorabonus for trying to make friends with zombie pigmen.)

[fadedShadow]

That kinda reminds me of the adventures of Tristan. While i was playing minecraft, i wrote journal entries from the point of view of someone who just randomly woke up. And i was using a nice texture pack at the time, so everything looked really new and amazing.

But then i stopped that.

And when i get a different computer, i'll do it AGAIN!!! WITH MODS!!! HAHAH, The GODS WILL NEVER CEASE THEIR TORTURE!!

Anyways, Yes. Your art is too cute to be spooky in any way. I still liek it though.

I immediately was assaulted by ghasts the first time i went in to the nether. (not on tristan) and after my third trip in, the portal moved and i ended up in a cave, no idea where i was, and out of torches and coal. (this was before maps)

[Wiwaxia]

I agree, that "spooky" story was a little too cute. On the other hand, subverted cuteness can be more horrifying than gore.

You should give it a try.

[selanpike]

So I ended up finding that Ghast. And had no arrows on hand. Cue frantic running.

Anyway, original art time!



Drawing this got me in the mood to finally assemble a Tumblr for Evil FTW, which is over here. It's not any different from the LJ version I linked to earlier, except this one only has 5 chapters up so far instead of the full 204, but I'm excited about moving it to Tumblr so I'm just linking to it everywhere =B

[Bohandas]

These are all SO CUTE!!!!!

[selanpike]

I come bearing some Problem Sleuth art with sort of lame colors



Wooooo

[SleuthSession]

If you hadn't seen that Trusty Knives fanart, you just might've slit your wrists. Good job!

[selanpike]

So I really like the whole Mobsterswitch AU thing that's been going on with the Problem Sleuth/ Midnight crew peeps. So I drew me a Pernicious Innovator.



Aaaand then I continued my genderswaps, with a dogtier Jake.

Link plz?

[selanpike]

Ummm... well here's the Tumblr tag...
It's just kind of all over Tumblr and AO3. Basically it's just this loose AU wherein Team Sleuth become mobsters (The Twilight Scoundrels) and the Midnight Crew are detectives (The Meddlesome Company).

[Yugosaki]

I really like the dogtier Jake design. Never thought of striped sleeves.

[selanpike]

Yeah, I figured the sleeves would be more masculine than trying to give him striped socks or something... =X

Is this Awesome?

[PriffyViole]

You know, I almost want to see you draw Len.

[selanpike]

Len? Like the Vocaloid?

[selanpike]

Okay more Problem Sleuth stuff, sheeeesh I'm obsessed



Lighting experiment. Got a little wonky, but eh.
Although... buuuuu I drew his chair and it actually almost looked chairlike and then the lighting ate it!! ;o;

And then I did some style experiments and this came out:



Tra la la why is it always Diamonds Droog and Pickle Inspector with me
Again I say sheeeeeesh
PI came out nicely. DD not so much.

[Wiwaxia]

This needs an accompanying private eye monologue. Badly.




... Say, Selan, how have you not done a genderbent midnight crew yet?
/subtlehint

[selanpike]

I've been meaning to, actually, I just keep putting it off! XD
In the meantime I will point you to this, which is awesome and I keep going back and forth between copying these designs or doing my own.

[epic_houseplant]

Just to let you know, this thread is the reason why I started playing Minecraft.

WHY DO I KEEP SEEING ALL THESE ENDERMAN?! AND HOW DO I DEAL WITH THEM?!

*cough* Anyway, your art is very enjoyable to look at. Especially your take on Homestuck. Very different than what I'm used to.

Tsundere Slick in thighhighs? I-I'm not sure what to think.

[selanpike]

Hey look I drew more Pickle Inspector and surprised no one =D



Trying to do grungy stuff I guess? Man I have no good textures or fonts for this, this is hard ;o;

[SleuthSession]

Inspecting pickles is serious business. I love how badass that picture manages to be.

[selanpike]

Guys guys now there's a canon character named Jake so my genderswap Jade can't be Jake, it's too confusing
What do I dooooo D=

... well anyway here's more art. With all the Problem Sleuth references in the latest pages, all my PS scribblings are almost appropriate!
