Good job leading that ship onto the rocks, high-five! 

That’s was a fun project I got myself into on a self-dare. The title comes from that tiny tiny figure on the lighthouse getting a high-five from the Chtulhu-like creature. Sadly this picture was a victim of the 2017 computer crash that caused the loss of several of my original HD files, so the zoom-ins (old WIP screenshots I had made and posted on instagram) are the last proof of this even being the case.

HERMIT A DAY MAY - DAY 8

xBCrafted x Futurama

I drew xB in the style of Futurama!

So I was unsure of what to do for xB and played with a number of different ideas. But then I started fusing him with a guardian and I though if he is a guardian hybrid, wouldn't he only have one eye?

And you know what style definitely works well with a cycloptic character? That's right, Futurama!

Disclaimer: Futurama is an adult comedy cartoon. While it does have a lot of different kinds of humor, it frequently features adult jokes/themes and is definitely not PG.

I had a lot of fun designing this one since Futurama has a lot of non-human characters, so I really felt like I could really lean into the hybrid elements of this xB design.

If you want to learn more about Futurama and see my style references, please look below the cut. (Dont forget about the Gamers Outreach fundraiser! If you donate $50 tumblr artist rendiggitydog will draw a hermit for you.)

Futurama is an adult comedy about a delivery guy named Fry who accidentally gets cryogenically frozen and is awakened again in the far flung future, where he promptly ends up with another job as a delivery guy (but this time on a spaceship with aliens).

The show is one of my favorite western adult animated comedies. It is pretty clever for the genre and has a lot of really likeable characters. The character I referenced heavily for xB is Leela, Fry's love interest and a cool one-eyed spaceship captain.

If you are a fan of scifi (like me) you would probably really enjoy Futurama since it parodies a lot of well-known scifi. It frequently makes fun of Star Trek in particular (with love, of course).

Style references:

Various characters from the show - Fry is the redhead and Leela is the lady with one eye.

I really like Leela :)

Hermit a Day May: Day 8, xB, Muse of Harvest

Here's his full portrait :D

Day 8: xBCrafted

Here's xB, a guardian-colored Zora! Although there aren't really any Zora in Wind Waker anymore, (the leading theory being that since this species lives in rivers and the world of Wind Waker is mostly flooded ocean), maybe there's a secret hidden grotto where a couple of lineages of Zora survived, including xB!

Here's a link to the fundraiser!

xb on brown paper w fineliner n felt tips !!!! - my markers leaked thru the page when i did yesterday's drawing (mumbo) so i stuck brown paper over it for today's lol.

Entry 32

Day 227

The worst way to earn a good reputation in a city has to be, by far, grabbing somebody's prosthetic and harming them.

That being said, GUESS WHO TICKED OFF A GUARD OF COMPARATOR CITY.

Yep. I had done the absolute impossible and somehow managed to mistake a prosthetic for a loose piece of rubble or scrap. Whoop de fucking do.

I promise I can explain! When I left Mumbo's place and got into the city, I was met with this huge wall! And I'm talking at least 10 meters? If not more! And there was a ladder and what I thought was maybe a really big kite tail dangling down-

One thing led to another and... Well. I learned very quickly that some kite tails can, in fact, talk. And they can feel pain!

Specifically if a kite tail is attached to a very pissed off Guard's spine.

Yeah... I fucked up. Big time.

But thankfully the guard didn't stay mad at me too long! Just... Dangled me over the open air while making sure I remembered to never grab his prosthetic again! Yep! That seems absolutely fair.

When I had eventually gotten on solid ground (ish? Does a wall count as ground?) I managed to properly introduce myself to the man. (With about one million apologies for grabbing said prosthetic.)

"You have one hell of an odd way of greeting people." The Guard had chastised as he returned to his duty of observing the ground below us (One heck of an experience!) "Didn't your parents ever teach you to not grab things you have no clue about?"

"Well- Where I'm from not many people have... Prosthetics like yours. It's one of the more unique ones- And the ones on your ears! I've seen glowing ears, but finned ones..."

"Scare tactic. Makes a loud buzzing noise if you vibrate them fast enough. Acts like a Roach's wings." He had told me off handedly.

"Roach? You mean the bug?" I'll be the first to admit, I laughed at that time! I found it hilarious that somebody would want to always hear a cockroach's wings flying against your ear. But boy did that guard have me singing a different tune.

"No. I mean the super human Stragglers that can kill you and me in the blink of an eye. The noise can be amplified to chase away any normal Stragglers or Stalkers. Keeps the city safe."

The way he said it earlier... I can still feel my hands shaking a bit at the idea alone. Sure there are plenty of things that can kill somebody, but in an instant? And to have the sounds of them be enough to deter other enemies... I hopefully won't get a visual of what these "Roaches" look like. I think I'd like to keep this journal free of anything that horrid.

"Well... I'm... Kinda looking for a way inside this city. I need to meet with the Demon? He's apparently somebody that can help me."

"The Demon? He's long gone, bud."

"Well there went that hope."

"But."

"... But?"

"The Angel." He had told me. "The Angel is still in town. Should be near the Broadcasting Station. Probably bugging the Radio Master. He always knows where the Demon is."

And from there he sent out a couple messages for me, asked a few other guards (They're called Wall Warriors. Bit on the nose but I can see where the name comes from.) and sent me on my way. Before I left, I managed to ask him for his name.

"And why should I tell you?"

"For... Future reference...?"

"... Alright, I'll bite. xB. Lowercase X, uppercase B."

"I have a feeling I won't know why it's like that?"

"I don't tell that information to tail grabbers."

"... Fair enough I suppose."

I did manage to snag his blip number from another guard. Sent him a message a few minutes ago, actually. And he responded! He's warming up to me! Success.

That's all I got for today. I have a new prerogative. Find the Angel and whatever the Broadcasting Station is. (Does the broadcasting station actually WORK?? Could I have music to keep me sane?)

Questions to figure out tomorrow.
