Might as well make it a good one

As we finish up Week 4 of the Hermitcraft Character Design Event, I just wanted to write up a little post thanking everyone for participating!! It means so much to me that so many people had fun doodling, writing, or sharing ideas for prompts, and it made me really happy to see all of the different interpretations of the prompts and how creative everyone was :] I would absolutely love to do something like this again, for character design, or just straight up fun prompts, or whatever! But yeah, I just wanted to express my gratitude for everyone who participated, and I hope everyone had a good time <3

Like I’ve mentioned in previous posts, please feel free to continue to use these prompts as inspiration— just because the event is “over” doesn’t mean you can’t still post, share, and use them for a fun challenge! You’re welcome to continue to tag me with posts, and I’ll do my best to continue to like or reblog them :]

I also wanted to give a huge thanks to @myketheartista, my good friend and the mod for my streaming discord server, who’s been helping me run things behind the scenes, proofreading the weekly infographics, keeping me sane, all of those things!! So, thank you for inspiring me throughout the event and keeping me on track!! <3333

But yeah :] Thank you to everyone again and thanks for sharing your super cool creations :]]]

The last week 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.] Outfit/Skin Swap with a MCYTer from a Different Fandom: Pick blorbos from two (or more) different MCYT Fandoms, and have them switch outfits or skins!

2.] Horror-themed or as a Villain: Take your character and put a horror spin on them, or make them a villain! Exaggerate their design features into something unsettling and spooky, or spin their story into one that makes them villainous!

Reminders:

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:

YAY Week 1 prompts in-detail are here! The Hermitcraft Character Design Event arrives! 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.] Non-Life-Series Hermit on their Red Life: death-game-ify your blorbo of choice! Imagine your character as though they were taking place in one of the Traffic SMP Life Series, and how they may look or have ended up on their Red Life. You could go for one series specifically, or just go for the vibes!

2.] As a D&D Class: Throw your blorbo into RPG Dungeons & Dragons— is it that your mcyt character has been dropped into the world of D&D? Is it an AU? Is it D&D mechanics and features in the world of Minecraft? Up to you!

Reminders: Anyone is welcome to participate, in whatever way and however much! Feel free to apply these prompts to any mcyt blorbo of your choosing! Feel free to use the tag #ShepsHermitDesign23 and/or @me in your posts! I look forward to seeing what everyone creates!

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!
