Being Vague Because I'm Super Cool And Mysterious (it's 1am).

Being vague because I'm super cool and mysterious (it's 1am).

Marked

The Vast: A really bad storm when I was 6 where I was the only one in the house, hiding in my room as a tree that had lived for many years was felled in nearly an instant. There has never been a storm that intense in my area since, and I will never forget that storm.

The Dark: One of many power outages plunging a rural household into complete darkness likely did it. No light = no sleep. It feels wrong. No dream juice.

The Buried & The Lonely: Gifted Kid burnout ('everything crashing down around you' clause on The Buried's side).

The Eye: Literally cannot survive a situation without needing to know what's happening, me mind so distracted. If I find something interesting, I'm all in. ADHD moment. [Other spooky Dex lore]

The Stranger: Anxiety core. Identity crisis. Normal stuff.

The Spiral: ...look at me. I draw Eyes for stress relief. (Okay in all seriousness its likely same reason as Buried/Lonely or the Stranger. Also ADHD moment)

The Slaughter, The Hunt & The Web: Same source, shall not elaborate. Web could also be Anxiety core.

Absent

The Corruption: ...I live in Australia. You get used to it.

The Desolation: We may have bushfires, but i personally haven't been that badly hurt by them.

The Extinction: I don't think it's gonna get that bad.

The End: no experiences focused around death (yet).

The Flesh: Idk never really focused on it long enough.

Tma enjoyers, reblog this post with fears you feel like you'd be marked by and the experience that gave you said mark. I saw a post like this a while back and I found it interesting.

Hola y'all

Welcome to my Tumblr blog!

For those who don't know me; my name is Dexter Kronos and I'm a member of the Rainimator Production Team, but otherwise I'm no-one too spectacular.

I am Australian (Queenslander!!!), pronouns are in the page top, and I am a university student studying a BCFA: Animation (I will be vague about where lmao).

I mainly do renders in Blender or Cinema4D with use of Minecraft Rigs, or generalized artworks on Krita, though I'm still an amateur on the latter. I may eventually do Minecraft Skin commissions via Ko-Fi but for now I'm focused on trying to survive my university workload lmao.

Advanced Warning: I swear. Alot. For other countries' standards. It's just the basic ones though.

Fandoms

My main fandoms of lurking will be the Rainimator (obviously), The Magnus Archives/Protocols & The Mechanisms.

My side interest fandoms (less focused) are Gravity Falls, The Owl House, Amphibia, My Little Pony (G4 & G5), Genshin Impact, Honkai Star Rail (even though I quit the game lol), Slime Rancher, Twenty One Pilots, The Amazing Digital Circus & Murder Drones.

These will update as time goes on.

Stuff on the Blog

Chiefly, I do artwork of different Eyes belonging to characters. You can find these under the Eye Lady tag (#may as well call me the eye lady)

Secondly, I have a special tag for my own TMA x Own Series AU vein called the Mag-Ruin AU (#Mag-Ruin AU), with the AU centered around grabbing my main work and my current hyperfixation and smashing them together in a believable way. It stars Jonathan Sims (Leitner Hunter/Ouroboros), Martin Blackwood (Beloved of The Eye), "James & the Stoker Twins" (Paranormal P.I's), Simone Dalton (Lachesis' Disciple; OC) and the mysterious "Ani" ("The Mystery from Down Under" [self-proclaimed]; OC). Most of my AO3 fics will be under this tag.

I am also forming a Slime Rancher x TMA AU outside of my best interest set after MAG 200. That one will likely be under The Magnus Ranchers (#The Magnus Ranchers) and will feature Jmart Somewhere-Else-ing into the Slime Rancher world.

Fourthly, there is the Owl John (#Owl Jon) agenda. I am personally under the belief that Jon as a harpy is cool as hell and though moths may fit thematically, I want to experiment.

For any random ass rants I will usually add a tag denoting both the Dexter identity and the Eye Lady moniker (#dexter kronos/eye lady brainwaves) and for irl shenanigns or post "scheduling" I will use an updates tag (#dexter kronos/eye lady updates)

Other Info

I can also be found on Twitter/X and (soon) Instagram, but otherwise your best way to contact me is here or on Discord.

Anyway enough yappin'; enjoy scrolling through the crazy that is doomed to join this page!

Get jumpscared y'all, we're back to Jon! More specifically, the Jon of @candlecoo-sideb-art's Somewhere Else (In Space) AU! I do not know why, but the idea of the Fears in the Mechanism universe is something that slightly unnerves me, but luckily, we have two resident traumatized folks to help out. I kinda went and experimented with his pupils specifically, given that candlecoo's pupil style is to make them white instead of black, which actually helps with bringing attention to the eyes oddly enough. I instead added the white pupil to his Eye power usage (and have it somewhat eclipse his iris like a cat's pupil), as it gives a sort of 'inhuman' feel against the art style I got going. That and I'm a coward who refuses to break tradition sometimes. Overall, I love the AU that they are forming and the shenanigans that could ensue excite me to no end. Maybe I just have a thing for Magnus blorbos meeting Mechanism dummies in their own space, who knows. Anyway, there will be another art from this verse a bit later on in the day, and then I'm jumping back into Redeath/Search Through the Stars to tackle a few of the ocs 👀 (if you've read it, you might know who is on the agenda).

A cute render I created in commemoration of the release of Rainimator's "The Brave" last December (2023).

The idea behind them is sadly now an AU; Sora was able to escape the Battle of the Gateways alongside Elise, landing in the End Witch Coven. They hope to warn the Southern Kingdoms of Void Lord Lance's movements, but Elise is worried on the cost of their future actions... and what Lance will do to retaliate.

I'm half-tempted to make an AU work on Archive of Our Own when I get my invite for it, so if you want that, idk comment or smth your interest.

We're back in @therealandian's ReDeath / Search Through The Stars AU! The OC I've chosen to do for this is Donovan, resident cool guy of Aldara, father of four and husband of a certain redeemed Mechanism! Thanks to Andian themselves for clearing up a few details on eyes and just them in general, they suggested smile wrinkles and freckles and I just dove straight in! I gotta admit I struggled a bit with the wrinkles and definitely need to work on it, but for a first attempt they're okay ^^;;. Eye shape too was a bit of a doozy for me; I was trying to do one of those smiley eyes but I struggle with them if they're not... an animation rig. Donovan is probably one of the two OCs I really loved from Search Through the Stars, alongside his daughter Evan (who I would join the antics of in a heartbeat)! I love how supportive and understanding he is of the situations of Jon and Elias, and just the fact he's a good husband and father overall. If he was real, I'd so want to be his friend... and Karliah's (his wife), she's bloody cool in her own right too. Actually just let me be friends with that whole famil- I might scale back how many character arts I post in a day just due to the fact my uni schedule is rapidly picking up the pace, but rest assured, more arts (and maybe some renders) are soon to come! Our next Eye-focused art will feature a very certain Captain, so stay tuned~
