Might as well make it a good one

Your highness… I don’t feel so good

WEEK 3 (of the Hermitcraft Character Design Event) Is here!!! Feel free to go wild with these prompts as inspiration, or use the above suggestions to help form ideas for creating character designs, drawing, writing, scene-making, anything you like!

1.] As an Empires SMP Member — Create a themed empire for your character to rule in, and consider their hypothetical role in the Empires SMP! Choose from an existing season 1 or 2 empire, or create a new theme altogether for your character!

2.] As a Famous Work of Art — Draw your character in the style of famous artwork! Either mimic well-known artistic styles, or recreate famous pieces with your blorbo(s)! From Michaelangelo to Van Gogh to Mucha to Warhol, the scope of inspiration to draw from is endless :]

Reminders:

Super, super excited to announce this character design challenge event!! I’ve been wanting to do something like this for ages that’s kinda spread out to give people time to draw without too much rush or pressure, so this is my perfect excuse to get back into drawing and posting here while inviting people to join me while I have some downtime between semesters :]

I’ll be posting here at the start of each week with an elaboration of that week’s prompts, offering ideas, suggestions, and other stuff like that!

As the flyer suggests, anyone can participate, and feel free to @ me and use the tag #ShepsHermitDesign23 if you post! :D

I’m hoping a lot of people will feel inspired to join in and have fun with this, so please reblog to spread the word! I’ll be reblogging this a bunch throughout the week leading up to Monday the 5th, the start of Week 1 :]

If anyone has any questions, feel free to shoot me an ask!

Since everything is hand-written, I typed up a transcript of the announcement below:

Okay I finally fixed up his design :] ehehe… prebby sheriff

I was actually planning on posting these tonight anyway, but in light of… um… recent events. This is even more fitting! @bunnieswithknives’s Villain Jimmy Animatic really inspired me so I did a couple of screenshot redraws of some of the scenes from the animatic! (Go check out the original :D)

As much as the reality of villain jimmy greatly saddens me, I do think… maybe he kind of deserves it. As a treat.

I started putting together a playlist for m-1 jimmy, which means I’ve started thinking… a lot about empires jimmy. I’ve always had far too many emotions about how jimmy’s treated, but finally putting it to music has done irreparable things to me, I think. So anyway… some drawings to Gang of Youths’ Achilles Come Down.

The hardest thing about drawing to this song was finding characters who would could reasonably represent the verses of the song that are supposed to be encouraging and loving. So. Take that as you will.

I’m pretty sure Jimmy mentioned off-handedly during one of his streams that the only person he’d let be sheriff is mumbo (before taking it back and saying he wouldn’t let anyone else be sheriff but ignore that part) and I.

I simply think that a mumbo-jimmy sheriff duo couldn’t possibly be a better (or worse) idea

I knew I wasn’t going to keep up with all of inktober this year, but I really liked some of the prompts from the peachtober22 prompt list, so I’m going to try to do a few this month! I’ve also been aching to draw some empires s2, so here’s Day 3: Cowboy!
