hi! i'm chesca, welcome to my blog! i'm gonna start using this pinned post as a status indicator and about me!

track #chesca.img and turn on notifications for quicker updates!

status: (2025-02-09) working on sprucing up some boring promotional stuff, lesson-planning, a few gw2 charms, a few book covers. mostly preoccupied with hermitcraft/life series fanart and homework for my storyboarding class.

community content:

commissions: open! current promotions: new clients get 10% off their first order. my first three slots of the year are an additional 30% off! requests: open for supporters on my ko-fi trades: closed. i intend to do artfight this year as well though, so keep an eye out for me there! i'm also @cinalilli. collabs: closed, but if i have a few weeks of notice before anything needs to be delivered, feel free to dm me about it shop: now open! track #chesca.shop for detailed updates

my content: i do mostly illustrations based on my stories, characters, or work for my friends' stories. in real life i do murals, graphic design/illustration work, and occasionally box art for trading card games. I've been working on building up a collection of stickers, charms, and prints for my favorite games and shows, too, so check out my shop!

like what i do?

members of my "littlest lines" tier on ko-fi ($1/month) get sketch requests, monthly polls, discord access, and get to see exclusive content like my wips! any bit helps.

life series-specific design headcanons (empires and hermitcraft feel different to me in many cases)

  • i try to base my designs pretty closely off of the actual skins and the faces of the actual players when i can, with minimal fanon or nonhuman traits where i can help it
  • BUT winners get a higher degree of mutation for me. something something watchers but i don't really care about all that, i think that just making it to the end of that kind of event means you get to control the narrative a bit more and if your narrative turns you into a wolf girl then so be it
  • so far the only non-winner I've broken this time with is drawing jimmy with wings but they Do Not Work and are only the because of the curse
  • everyone DOES have the potential for non-human traits in the event they do win but i try to keep them subtle when i can. as such i haven't drawn impulse because I'm torn on whether the little horns are strong enough of a vibe that i couldn't in good faith draw him without them (eg like with grian. who. yeah. that's him)
  • same thing with skizz because the angel thing feels wholly in reaction to the imp vibe for impulse but it doesn't really feel deeper than that to me. even if it's really cute
  • lizzie in this one is a mischievous little kitten
  • martyn also doesn't really have any nonhuman traits yet but i kinda wanna revisit that and spice it up for him honestly. i just haven't actually seen his win in person just the losses of everyone else
  • etho i do actually really like the arctic fox + braid/ponytail headcanon i just forgot in my rush to make him damp
  • scott in life series only has crystals that grow from his head like horns or a crown, getting longer as he loses lives. in other series i like it as a halo though

i don't normally post text here but i will say, it's been very interesting going through the lifers at the rate in the order I've been doing so because I've actually kinda stopped watching mostly life series? I'm mostly on hermitcraft now (catching up on mumbo, scar, and impulse simultaneously), but something about getting to know the povs of the players outside of life series has helped me get a sense for their personalities and vibes a little better

#chesca.txt#mcyt#i WILL say when I'm all done with it i really should go back and refresh the designs now that I've gone through them at least once#because part of this experience is getting to know the faces and basing those facts on whatever irl faces i have access to#but i want to put in some more headcanons#i just worry about boxing the players into something that doesn't fit them in another season that i haven't watched or something
