This is basically what I saw

because why’d he get that close!!1!1??!

I also tried a different way of colouring and I think it looks okayishh

also I want to say that that bright heart is representing how many lives bdubs had at that point. His skin has this glowing pink thing, which is probably a potion or something, but I thought it looked like a little heart so I went with that.

While looking at this I just realised there another freaking thing on his sash ughuhhuhurgh mm idk why the photo so big

Soft cheeks

So we've come full circle with the fish-fuckery I see

S1 is consuming my life but that doesn't stop my tomfoolery, no sir

Sketch + Penning under cut

Man the Winter really do be Red huh

My #1 my boy my blorb :[

I can't believe Scott called his Multi-Universe husband straight. betrayal 😔

A common theme I think you'll find with me is that I really do like drawing them with flowers.

I'm home, I found you some new flowers. Hope you like them.

Inktober Day 6: Bouquet

I also do enjoy flower symbolism. (Based on quick Google searches)

Daisies: Loyalty/Loyal love; can also represent keeping a secret between friends

Daffodils: Forgiveness or Appreciation

Camellias: Love, Adoration, and Longing

This may be my favorite one so far

Rip to my pens & sharpie though

No matter our fate, I will keep you safe.

Inktober Day 5: Flame

Ta da, I have delivered!

Whiny scar, the beloved

Guys it finally worked ohmygod

The qualities botched, but I looks better when you click it, I promise

Think of it as a housewarming gift! Or a Welcome Back gift? Whichever works haha

Just cos I got that Empires brainrot doesn't mean I'm gonna stop drawing my Boys btw

Anyways Star + Dew AND sleepy morning chats of affection? Absolutely smitten

One of my favorite (and only current remaining) paintings

And just the flowers. Enjoy, moss lovers

You would not believe how much blue got on my hands despite blue being the least used color in this

It's them, the only soul mates ever

Jimmy "Watcher Who Stares at Things He Likes" Solidarity vs. Tango "Wow Look at How Pretty That Threat Is" Tek

Very much a "touch is my love language" Duo and I will not take any disagreements

Gem, reading logs about two characters breaking up: „I need to channel some of that coldness for my life series character. Gotta use that line on Pearl.“

LMFAO WHAT??? DIVORCED GEMPEARL CONFIRMED???

Woah old ranchers doodles be upon ye

(This had been rotting in my camera roll for months… i keep forgetting to post it </3)

hey.... can u draw some skizzleman in ur au.... is he gay wif some1...

Yes! Skizz has got a big fat crush on Impulse!

Apologies for reusing art, but I’ve been getting a lot of art requests and I wanted to save time

Day 9 (kinda): Martyn!

Like we said before, we're doing life series members as well as normal hermits in our au! Instead of outfit swap, we have Martyn today for Hermit a Day May! Also notable in this fic is that he's in a poly relationship with Ren and Doc <3 (More on that in our future posts)

As always: All journal posts, @hermitadaymay fundraiser post, and go follow @enkays-den for all the hard work they do!!

Theoretically, if I started doing commissions (art and potentially writing), would people be interested in that? Idk how much I'd charge yet, but here's some examples of my art + link to my writing to help decide:

More examples under the cut! Varying backgrounds, shading, styles, etc.

Guys I wrote some Skizzpulse

unexpected, I know

here's the link again, it's short and sweet, just them on their first date. Impulse is very stressed and Skizz is a very good (boy)friend <3

may make art for it later, we'll see

skizzpulse save me... save me, skizzpulse.....

reference under the cut :P

random question based on the imp and skizz band au because im curious- is the mysterious fourth person ren from when he took over for tango that one ep, technically making him part of the heart foundation?

this might be a wild guess because i dont think ren plays the drums but hey, im jsut asking this based off the fact he could technically be counted as a heart foundation guy

It's not Ren, but I did think of another role for him since you mentioned it! He's gonna be the band's social media manager :D He does most of the posts on things like Insta and whatever else the band uses (haven't thought too deeply about it) and also occasionally just hangs out or jams with them when they're practicing. Outside of that, he's in college for acting, theater, something along those lines, because it's Ren. Obviously.

ALSO! This fic is now also treebark >:) that's right, Martyn and Ren are dating, and Martyn sometimes helps out with recording their performances or records when he has time, but it's more of a side gig than anything, and he only does it when Tango can't. But yeah,, they're boyfriends <3

Anyways, Ren was a good guess, and I'm so glad he's in the au now because I love him, but the secret fourth person was Cleo! Which people guessed pretty much instantly lol. I'm gonna make the promised art of them eventually, as well as give all their juicy backstory (and it actually has a LOT to do with why Imp and Skizz met.. ;) But in the meantime, I kinda hyperfocused on the new artstyle for a couple days and way overextended myself drawing rip, so it'll be a couple days until the Cleo art. That, and I hurt my finger in a cheese grater so it's gonna be a bit slower anyways sads, and on top of those two excuses, I made a whole lineart and then hated it and couldn't figure out what was wrong. so i scrapped it 👍

I think that might've been a bit rambly, but whatever, you're the one who read it so who's the fool now? Ok whatever have a good day, thank you so much for the ask!!!

First Meeting

"You guys shoulda seen it!" Impulse proclaimed loudly, tail swinging wildly with excitement. "I mean, Tango was great, but the lead singer—" The demon whistled.

"That good, huh?" Gem asked with a look that promised teasing should Impulse say much more.

He didn't heed the warning. "Yes, that good! I wish you guys had come; it actually blew me away. Like, the drums and piano blended perfectly, and so many of the songs made me want to start dancing right then and there," he gushed, pausing only for a moment to take a sip from his water bottle.

Scott, meanwhile, waved his phone at him, the screen displaying a pink heart that was on fire. "This is the same Heart Foundation you saw, right?"

"You found their insta already!" the demon beamed, reaching to grab it before the blizz snatched the phone away, blizz rods whirling happily.

"A'course I did, I am a professional. We need to do as much research as we can on your new crush before he can have our approval," Scott teased, scrolling through photos and posts.

"It's not a crush," he pouted, though he didn't bother with defending the claim against Gem's snort.

The warden peeked over Scott's shoulder, watching the photos fly past. "You said he's an angel, right?" she asked, glancing back at Impulse. She picked up her cocktail, taking a sip while the demon replied.

"Yeah, an angel. He's got these massive white wings, plus little pink ones on the sides of his head—though, I don't know if that was the lighting or dye or natural. Either way, they matched his suit perfectly, I didn't know it was possible for someone to look so good in hot pink! And- and! He's absolutely jacked, his arms were like the barrel of a cannon—and his hair also had hot pink streaks in it, and-"

"Like this?" Scott cut him off before he could ramble more, showing a photo of the angel, his arm slung around Tango as both of them laughed at the camera. He wasn't wearing the pink suit, just a tank top and sweats, but damn, if he didn't look just as hot, scars and muscles on full display.

Impulse's tail curled happily, a purr rumbling in his chest. "Yes, that's him! What does it say? Is his name on there, any other info about their next performance—though, I could just ask Tango when I see him-"

"You don't even know his name?" Gem interrupted, incredulous.

"I was distracted, okay?" he tried to defend, feeling a blush creeping up his cheeks. "I was taking a video for Tango while he was introducing everyone, and his voice was just so smooth, I couldn't really focus on the actual words. It's not my fault!"

They just giggled at him, Gem's elbow coming up to prod Scott, who looked up from the phone. Surprise flashed across his face, but it quickly turned to a teasing grin to match Gem's.

"You were distracted, hmm? Too busy eyeing up the hot angel to pay any attention?" the blizz asked, eyebrows wiggling suggestively.

"I think so," the warden agreed before Impulse could defend himself. "Enamored with a complete stranger, our little Impy's all grown up~" she teased, eyes narrowing as though daring him to disagree.

He rolled his eyes, taking another long drink from his water; playing earlier had really left him drained, but not quite drained enough to sit out Tango's performance, despite Gem and Scott abandoning him to go get drinks. Impulse sighed happily, the image of the angel silhouetted by the backlighting still fresh in his mind, not to mention the memory of his voice. He'd need to ask the blaze hybrid later how they had met.

"So what if I am?" he argued, hands coming up to rub away the growing flush on his face. "I mean, he's friends with Tango, so he's gotta at least be a chill dude, plus he was so funny during the show, he interacted with the audience perfectly—honestly, Gem, you should be taking notes."

Her mouth fell open in amused shock, while Scott's smirk only deepened. They shared a glance, one that Impulse recognized well enough by now to know that they were categorically not going to drop this any time soon. Not that he cared; he was happy to keep rambling about what an amazing performance the niche band had put on; Impulse could recognize good music when he heard it.

"I don't know, I think you might be a tad biased," the blizz said, the frosty sparkle in his eyes refusing to disappear given Impulse's enthusiasm.

Gem nodded. "Definitely. You just think he's hot, you want to find a quiet spot where you two can kiss and-"

"Gem!" Impulse interrupted, flush deepening at the implications. "I don't even know if he likes guys," he retorted, wilting a little at the thought. Not that it mattered; he didn't know the guy, it's not like he'd somehow end up in a situation where hooking up was even possible.

"I dunno..." Scott drawled, eyes shifting to glance over the demon's shoulder. He grinned again at Impulse's embarrassment. "I feel like he'd be open to that sort of thing."

"And how would you know?" he snapped back, suddenly very self-conscious, as though the two of them were in on a joke that he didn't get. They did love to tease him, and it wasn't often that Impulse got a crush—not that this was a crush!

Gem just snorted while Scott waved the phone. "Instagram," he answered shortly, still smirking.

"But you didn't even answer the question!" the warden accused, taking another drink.

"What question?"

"Would you kiss him if you could?"

"Gem-" he tried to argue, hiding his blush with a hand again.

"Just answer! You never tell us about your love life, it's only fair," she insisted, giving him an intense and expecting look, one that warned against any arguing.

"I don't know him," the demon sputtered. "I guess I would, but I'd want to get to know him first, maybe take him out to dinner..." he trailed off, eyebrows furrowed at the thought. It really wasn't all that unrealistic that Impulse could meet the angel, since Tango could introduce them. But the odds of the guy actually being interested in anything?

"I was going to offer to buy you a drink, but I think it might have to be the other way around," came a deep voice from behind him.

The demon nearly jumped out of his skin.

Right in front of him was the angel, in the flesh, very close up and personal and—fuck, he was even hotter in person, suit torn at the sleeves and unbuttoned at the top, showing off his arms and chest. He was leaning against the bar, a stereotypical smolder painting his features, blue eyes dark as they looked the demon up and down.

Impulse short circuited.

He was stammering something, but he wasn't sure what—a greeting? An apology? How much had the angel heard, did he think Impulse was weird, did he-

"I'm asking if I can buy you a drink," the angel clarified, smirk fading into a more serious expression as he repeated the offer.

"I, uh-" The demon's mouth went dry. "I can't, I have to drive later," he answered weakly, brain still not catching up to the fact that the guy was hitting on him.

"No, you don't," Gem denied cheerily, the smile in her voice clear even though Impulse's back was turned. "We'll get an uber. Go have fun, enjoy yourself~"

He looked back up at the angel, who was now giving him the sweetest, most encouraging smile, and swallowed thickly. He nodded. "Yeah, yeah, I- I'd love a drink," he managed, still unbearably flustered, tail curling in on itself.

The man grinned, the wings on his head puffing up happily—that's adorable—as he offered an arm to the demon.

Impulse took it, letting the angel lead him away to order drinks.

"Just be back by hotel checkout at ten tomorrow!" Scott called after them.

So that's their first meeting! I also want to write Skizz's first impression of Impulse and his pov of this encounter at some point, and potentially even extend the scene a little further when we see him ;)

Anyways, I hope you enjoyed! And if there's any questions about anyone in this au, feel free to drop an ask <3

askin u about your imp n skizz band au: what's goin on with scott? id love to hear your brain thoughts lol

YIPPEE I ACTUALLY GOT AN ASK :D I spent all day drawing this lol

Scott is (obviously) part of Gem and the Scotts!

He plays bass and sings accompanying vocals :) He also does most of the makeup, outfits, hair dye, and paint for the group, especially for Impulse, who is absolutely clueless about those things lol.

He's a blizz hybrid, which is a cold version of the blaze, so he gets little blizz rods around his head and ice powers. When using his powers, the ends of his hair and tail freeze, giving him frosted tips (hehe get it? frosted tips-), and his eyes glow icy blue. He's also dating Jimmy in this au! They were roommates in college, started going out their junior year, and have been together since <3 He even has a feather sticker on his bass to remember his bf when on stage for encouragement. Scott likes to steal his shirts, and doesn't care that they have holes in the back for Jimmy's wings

That's what I've come up with for Scott thus far!! I'm still figuring out timelines and how the band actually got together. Feel free to send in more asks if you're curious about anyone or anything!

Secret life Imp and Skizz!

Making these has spawned an entire au that I categorically do NOT have time to make, but at the same time...

They're both in their respective bands, Heart Foundation and Gem & the Scotts; Skizz is a singer and plays bass guitar, Impulse plays drums. They met at a festival where they saw the other play and thought they were SMOKIN hot, so Skizz asked Impulse out after the show and now they're boyfriends :3

Individuals under the cut!

Also, if anyone's curious about my au, feel free to drop a lil ask or comment and give me an excuse to write more about these two idiots >:3 Cuz I have IDEAS, let me just say.....
