Heya, I'm Peridots, your average digital artist/entomology enthusiast—they/it/he or any pronouns, please! Haven't actually posted much art in quite a while, so be prepared for occasional Bug Facts and other such randomness. Spam likes and such are all appreciated here! Terfs, zionists and the like can turn 180° for free, however! Profile art by original-character-chaos—oooooh looks like someone sent me perfectly pfp-shaped gift art of my sona a little too close to april fools!

[Start ID. A drawing of the Survivor from Rain World. They're spiralling upwards into the air, clutching a grappling worm with limbs askew, above the lizard den halfway up The Wall. They're facing forward, and while their expression is neutral as always, they seem rather eager. The drawing has a light red tone, primarily made up of siennas, whites and dull teals, and has a fairly dramatic sense of scale. End ID]
call that a jetpack joyride (< got attached to their grapple worm and named it jetpack)
i think that tthey should be bestfriends
WELL HELLO THERE ROBOT LIKER COMMUNITY. welcome to the robot swag competition
submit your nominations here!
(this was directly inspired by others such as @nonbiney-swag-competition and @autismswagsummit !)
RULES AND NOTES:
contest will be held in the traditional tournament bracket format, with (hopefully) fair match ups that don't pit the most iconic robots out there with mr. literally who tf are you.
i will TRY MY BEST to get said match ups right but i MIGHT fuck it up. if so i'm sorry
robot swag being included in the title does not necessarily mean the robot has to have swag. the robot in question could be the most pathetic wet cat you've ever seen, and they could contest here. this is just for robots in general!
if you need to ask "does this character count as a robot?" when submitting a nomination, the answer is probably yes. don't think about it too hard
polls will last 24 hours each!
i made this contest with FICTIONAL robots in mind, but real ones can be included too!
i'll likely be restricting things to one robot per media, sorry for anyone who wanted glados vs wheatley action!
as for contestants, i'll mostly let the public decide, but i might sneak in a few of my own nominations! i've got 32 slots to fill, so get nominating!
hope everyone has fun! i'll update this blog as things move along. make sure to spread this around if you can so more people can see it <3
[Start ID. An extremely sloppy and fast drawing of Hornet from Hollow Knight, with a clown's wig and nose, and the words "SLINK SLOG" beneath her. End ID]
nintendo direct started.
[Start ID. A drawing of @mieczmaszyna 's character Izzy. In the words of its creator, Izzy is a humanoid robot with a white chassis, oval head, black headset, square green glasses, claws, and a tail resembling a cable plug. Ai wears a cowboy hat, vest decorated by a star and bottle cap, pants with tassels, spurred boots, and a red bandanna. He's viewed from the side, kicking up one leg and holding both arms out in front of itself to shoot finger guns, looking excited and rather jaunty. The background is a dull yellow-green, muddied by the warm reddish tone of the drawing, and in paler green are the words "BANG BANG!!" by ais arms. End ID]
robot cowboy!!!
Made some complementary badges for the @nonbiney-swag-competition thanks to @ghostisredacted's V1 request!!
[Start IDs. Four simple circular drawings, each featuring one character from the Nonbiney Swag Competition with the words "I Voted" above them and confetti on either side. All four are drawn almost exclusively in the colors of the nonbinary flag, albeit muted and indigo-toned, with a white base. The first is Pyro from Team Fortress 2 shown chest-upwards, who does a peace sign with a raised hand. Symbols that shape a unicorn horn float above their head. The second is a fullbody of Ghost from Hollow Knight, flaring their cloak open, emphasizing the motion with one hand and raising the other to their mask. The third is V1 from Ultrakill, another bust, where it holds one hand up to the camera to do a thumbs up. Despite a lack of a face, the way its "eye" is shaded suggests a grin. Lastly is the rather amorphous fullbody of the Slugcat or Survivor from Rain World, holding a spear and looking slightly upwards at the bats that hover around its head. End ID]
[Start ID. A digital drawing of the Slugcat from Rain World. It sits holding a spear tipped in orange blood, the source of which are the two severed pods and body of an Eggbug that lay scattered around it. A batnip plant grows behind it, though the rest of the background is blank, replaced by a transparent pale halo behind the Slugcat. End ID]
Little guy :]
(No spoilers, please! I'm very early into the game and have been attempting to play it as blind as possible.)
[Start ID. A drawing of V1 and Gabriel from Ultrakill. They're angled towards each other, both leaning backwards with one leg bent at the knee. V1 is pulling itself towards Gabriel with the whiplash, the end of which curls around him, and he reaches one hand out to hold the cord. Gabriel's pose seems almost relaxed, while V1 is more tense and somewhat energetic. The background is mauve, and bears markings that emphasize the heart-like shape formed by V1 and Gabriel. End ID]
Did not know what to caption this. Uh. Gay people
(alts under the cut, as usual)
NEW PFP TIME WOOOOOO
the old one btw incase I now appear as a stranger
[Start ID. A digital drawing of Leif from Bug Fables in bright colors on a purple background. He is standing with his wings open, blocks of ice levitate above one raised hand and the other points at the ground. His sharp, insectoid features are emphasized somewhat. He isn’t incredibly expressive, but seems to hold himself in a determined manner. End ID]
Leif should get to be bright and spiky sometimes. as a treat

Mimic!!
How come every time I draw lifeblood butterflies it like. Changes style. What that about
behind glass
They seem like a trustworthy bunch.
From L-R; Pollux belongs to @peridots-pixiwolf, Nyxley belongs to me, Saccharin belongs to @mimicspider, and Candy belongs to @flame-shadow. See if you can't spot the thread!
ok so i watch a lot of youtube videos about chess despite barely knowing how to play and something really funny happened on chess.com which is the site people go to to play chess online
basically they have a bunch of chess bots you can choose to play against at various different power levels (~100 is total noob, ~2500 is like, mega grandmaster). and recently they released a bunch of…cat themed bots?
but the noteworthy one is the cosmic horror known as Mittens.
Mittens has a listed power level of 1. However, that is a deception. Mittens is actually incredibly powerful, defeating top players with ease, and actually holding his own against the most powerful chess bots in existence.
also he sends you these weird messages like
absolutely wild
I was listening to Miracle Musical again, and remembered I did an animatic for The Mind Electric. It’s quite old (a year or 2?) and upon looking over it and revising it, there are some continuity mistakes. BUT! I more or less finished it a bit ago and am still quite proud of it and wanted to to post it. So here it is!
seven for the ask meme?
7: Sketching, lining, or coloring?
Probably coloring? Especially assuming it includes shading, which is usually one of my favorite parts. Sometimes a sketch will come out looking rad, and trying to style the lines a certain way can be very fun (most prominently: idroa, and a couple places in the stagbells submission), but overall messing around with the colors is my favorite :]
1, 8, and 18 for the asks~!
1: Favorite color to work with
Never really thought about it before! I don’t think I actually have a specific color (maybe greens or reds, but I’m not sure those aren’t just often-used as opposed to well-liked), but the eyestrain, bright yellow/red/teal/blue palette definitely fits the bill, it’s Very fun to use. Gold’s fun to render, too.
8: Show some art from 1-2 years ago
Boye. 1-2 years is a large time frame. I’m taking it to mean anything between one and two years ago, which pretty much lands everything in 2021. I’m not sure if this was supposed to be pieces I actually still like or an accurate representation of that year, I’ll choose the first, as I wouldn’t consider most of it terribly interesting.
Feb 18 - one of my very few lineless pieces, for a person I engaged in frequent art trades with
Sep 4 - yeah we sure are gonna skip seven months, here’s one of the first times I used a non-black color for shading/lineart: a beloved older OC, mosa :]
Sep 28 - A cropped screenshot from a time I tried pixel art again. Surprisingly, it wasn’t connected to any media or world of mine, I just had an idea for an animation (...that did become the basis for a lesser fictional world). Unfortunately the file’s autosave was overwritten and it wasn’t finished, so a couple screenshots and a video of my progress are all that remain of it
18: How long have I been drawing? When did I begin to call myself an artist?
Funny thing is I was just wondering about that. I've been drawing since I could hold a pencil, I've had long phases of experimenting with clay and origami and pipe cleaners, five years ago I made an art folder for school that was so filled by my various drawings and doodles it's now two inches thick (I carried it around with me everywhere, no matter the circumstance), four years ago I added pixel art to the menagerie, and yet I only actually considered myself an artist two years ago. That was when I was gifted an old art tablet, and thus began what I've previously described as a personal renaissance, as I was allowed access to tools I never used before, diversified and improved, forgot everything I thought I knew about art to learn it again. Fun times.

[Start ID. A half-body doodle of a screen-faced humanoid robot, my sona, smiling as it looks at its phone. Both them and the phone emit the symbols of Tumblr's likes and reblogs. The text pointing to it reads "accidentally started a likespamming match with a cool blog". End ID]
symbiotic relationship :]

[Start ID. A drawing of Idroa, a roughly humanoid black and red robot with four arms, floating in midair. One arm is brought up to the collection of wires and many-eyed wheels replacing his head in a vague pointing motion, the other at cogs side, and the lower pair is open, spread low at about a 45 degree angle to their body. Translucent folded wings are shown behind her. The background is composed of the faint shapes of maroon buildings and machinery. End ID]
Comm for @vibecenter13 !!
[Start ID. A poorly-edited version of the "Girls, did you know... That umm," meme. It follows up with "Dishonored: Definitive Edition" in the third panel, and in the final panel, "Is free on the Epic Games Store for 13 more hours, and 75% off until Jan 5th on Steam, which is holding a site-wide sale and you should get your games now." End ID]
Disclaimer: Some sources say the Epic Games sale also lasts until Jan 5. Either way play Dishonored
if you receive this, you make somebody happy! go on anon and send this to ten of your followers who make you happy or somebody you think needs cheering up. if you get one back, even better <3
