This Is How It Goes Actually Yea

Lunchbreak 🐈

yep i really spent 18 hours drawing….a lunch table…. tried to hide a lot of little details zoom in for a fun little game of eye spy. don’t know how many eyes are here but you can try counting. haven’t really drawn many backgrounds before but I think my passion for Magnus archives must mean something if I’m spending hours drawing paperwork

thinking about this again! i know that it was up to the dice rolls as to who got possessed by baron; buuuuuut... ive always been an adaine-riz bestie truther, it just makes so much sense to me (nerds, big pressure to do well in school, av club, mystery lovers, i also headcanon adaine as ace so that's something they can bond on as well), and we know that riz calls fabian his best friend with that in mind, i see the baron as taking control of riz's two closest friends and i find that devastating. especially coupled with the fact that we know riz has anxiety about being left behind by his friends, and now his two best friends are saying these terrible things.

how could you ignore your roëmænce partnær, riz gukgak?

fucked up and wrong that they gave him abs in the actual game. like let the man be soft and squishy it is how he was meant to be.

SOFT GALE ??11!!! SOFT GALE !!! SOFT !!!! GALE !!!! !!!

ill take any excuse to draw this bean <33 here is ur soft gale, anon <333

Bulk Ask Responses!

Heya! I've been getting a bunch of asks re: Cloudward, Ho! and I figured I could answer them all in one place ♥

Starting off strong @wogglywiggler ;D Van is amazing and I can't wait for yall to see Siobhan's incredible performance as her - she's got LAYERS, folks!!

You're welcome, Anon. Live thirsty my child ♥

SOMETIMES IT'S NOT INTENTIONAL BUT ALSO I'm a raging pansexual and I find everyone attractive so I do my best to translate that to my drawings. I'm so glad I am apparently the queen of dnd thirst characters tho ;D

Hi @eembezzle!! GOSH that's so cool, I never really think of my art as like... super recognizable but I'm glad yall knew it was me! ♥

The second part of your ask is very similar to this one from @whookami :

and this one from @graciousred :

So I'll answer them all together!

The process is different for the PCs vs NPCs, but all in all I work through coordinators and art directors. I rarely get the chance to 1 on 1 with talent. We work with a wonderful app called Airtable, which makes everything nice and organized and easy to deal with when you're drawing a bajillion characters. PCs I get mood boards and written descriptions, and we go through several rounds of ideation before landing on finals. They take the longest by far!

NPC-wise, I'm given a write up of the character and the timestamp for when they're introduced in the season. If they have a battle mini, I get reference pics of that, too. Yep, minis are made WAY before character art! I listen/watch the "stringouts" aka uncut/unedited footage of the sessions to get the vibe of the character, as well as any secret things that are important later i.e. someone in disguise, like The Skulker vs Johnny Manhattan in NSBU, or if there's some kind of historical importance to a character/secret hidden on their person that is important to visualize. These get done in batches :)

I wouldn't be able to get this done without the awesome dropout team - especially Eve, Skye Loremaster, and Alison ♥

As for Projection Illustrations - that's done before filming! We work closely with the battlemap team (love you Rick, Alison, and KC) and the projection engineers (GOATS Derek and Ruby) to make the beautiful sets the players and viewers get to enjoy. We actually work on the sets DURING film schedule - and CH has a LOT of art yall will get to see. There were times we finished the art the day before the episode was filmed!! But, the art has to be done before the cameras roll, as they're projected live behind the actors.

Hi @seasonofhotness! Thank you so much - I have my con schedule on my website (caitmayart.com) and I try to keep it as updated as I can. I'm currently waiting to hear back from NYCC, but I did apply! Cross your fingers for me ♥

Oh goodness @lady-writes that was totally unintentional, but I SEE IT NOW WHOOOOPS

I just wanted to make Daisuke look like the suave bastard he is, and Zac embodies him so well it must have leaked into my drawing haha!

Thank you all SO MUCH for the love - I can't wait to sail CLOUDWARD, HO with you all!!

My favorite low quality children!

squeems cousin or something like that

I drew this in October as a joke for the projections team - we all the Cloudward Hoes on THIS ship

give me a greek mythology themed musical and i will be deep in the trenches- friendship over with normal music stray gods is my newest baby girl

I think there's something beautifully poetic about this new trend of Greek-myth themed musicals.

The Lightning Thief musical, Hadestown, Stray Gods, Epic---all of these stories are being told at least in part through song, echoing the fact that every single myth that we know was originally told through song. We're essentially reprising the tradition thousands of years down the line, and that's honestly beautiful.

Finally finished the romance options for the Fallout 2077 AU!!

love her, love him, love them, would die for them

I love a pathetic man hopelessly smitten with a woman who could kick his ass
