Hail Mary Pass

Manifestation of a baby and adult Boitatá ~🐍✨ A personal interpretation of my favorite folk creature from my country.

—

Boitatá is a legendary figure in Brazilian folklore, arising from the anthropomorphization of the “Will-o’-the-wisp” phenomenon that occurs in Brazilian rivers. In each region, it is interpreted differently, but the most popular is that of a fire snake that lives in the waters and protects the forests against those who threaten them, being a type of guardian of the forests. The name Boitatá means “Thing of fire” in the Tupi-Guarani language.

In my fantasy interpretation, I wanted to represent the different shades of colors that fire can assume, depending on the material that is burned.

sketches of these two (and also WIP)

"The canary in the mine, it was a dove this time; a worthy sacrifice."

aa, i loved this girl so so much, he means everything to me i think. i just had 2 draw him with some of my own flair (things that have been ruined for me).

i hope i did it some justice, i love its design so much. fat girls rise up <3. there's another version of the drawing below, without the rose-pink filter!! i was proud of both versions so i decided i needed to hoard them all..

10 & JUICE designs (for now)

juice u glorious mf

i made ants and they hate eachother

My dealer: got some straight gas 🔥😛 this strain is called “17776” 😳 you’ll be zonked out of your gourd 💯

Me: yeah whatever. I don’t feel shit.

5 minutes later: dude I swear I just saw a 15,000-year-old man playing Game & Watch games in a cave

My buddy JUICE pacing: the people from maine are lying to us

More sketches yesyesyes

Buncha stuff from the past week or so

Got some fun stuff planned later today - keep an eye out!

On a similar note, I have Manny and Nick cat designs, but I'm unsure if I should just make them people for the sake of differentiating them

so working on my 17776 designs and it's so hard to decide if I should make the panels on JUICE proportional or not

oh Theseus we’re really in it now.

[ID: a short video of OP and @accidentalautomaton’s characters, Ambrose Celestine and Jordie Lovelock. It’s in the style of the “just the two of us” cats meme, in speech bubbles exchanging between them a few lyrics from Ruler of Everything by Tally Hall. It goes like this:

Ambrose: You understand mechanical hands are the ruler of everything

Jordie: A

Ambrose: Ruler of everything

Jordie: A

Ambrose: I’m the ruler of everything

Ambrose: In the end
