Onix The Lemming - Tumblr Posts
So I got bored at midnight and did some writing.
I think it's ok for something that was done with no real reason behind it
This is about Onix but in a third person prospective..(I think)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
How long has it been?
Minutes, hours?
They didn't know.
For they could only remain in the grassy field that they were left to rot in. As they had no strength to get up and get back at the one's responsible for their injuries. All they could to was remain on their back as they felt agonizing pain all over their body.
They did not have a name as they were deemed unworthy of one by their parents, seeing nothing but a monster in front of them. A thing that only the aftermath of a cursed moon. A moon drenched in blood itself. A symbol of death for any creature it comes across.
A vampire
At least that's what others called them. They didn't really know what one was as they spend their life so far inside of a cold hard celler. But at least it was dark. They didn't understand why it gave them a feeling of safety. Maybe it was because no one really bothered them down there?
If no one came down there then they wouldn't be harmed. Although they do admit that whenever one of their siblings were sent down there as a punishment by their parents. They couldn't help that the hunger that normally plagues them grow even harder to ignore. Maybe that also explains the leather wings they have. Albeit one of them was broken in half do to others in their clans plan to get rid of them once and for all.
But they could not think about that now. In fact they couldn't think much at all given their poor physical state.
But they do wonder if they make it through the night.
An idea that has been in my head for a while, was Onix becoming giant as he will live on for a very long time.
This was done based on a drawing that @kaiju-wolfdragon made for me when I asked (thank you again)
This isn't what the final look for him will be as this is to give myself and idea as to what he would look like
I have been messing around with the idea but haven't had any luck so far.
Mini interaction between onix and nerd tiff
Nerd tiff is made by @annatheavian277
So I had a thought: what if jinx met onix
The result: A giant cat and lemming-dragon talking about dark magic and onix showing her what he can do
In this case its him conjuring the shadows around them. Turning it into a mass of slime
(There's a lot more to this spell but I don't want to write it out)
Jinx and giant! Onix are made by @kaiju-wolfdragon
I made onix (I asked them to make him a giant)
After drawing this I realized that in this form onix does look like a dragon
Maybe he is a false one
Also a stoner that's really chill and pays their portion of the rent on time. And is fun to be around
Something awakened him
Wonder what it was
Why is a vampire lemming howling at the moon like a wolf?
Because they can
I gave him an outfit
Look at the little sleepy vampire 🖤
Hey! Look at the time!
It's time for angst!
TW blood
Also this is lore relevant...
So I got some watercolor markers for my birthday today and wanted to use them
I think I did great! Just wish I had more browns
Little critter is owned by @little--critter
I wanted to do a first meeting of some sort between the two
I finally made a reference sheet for this man!
Here's some facts about him:
● can't read or write because he was never taught by anyone
● despite being a vampire he is no where near as old as you may think he is. (He is only 80 years old)
● would much rather sleep in the dirt than a coffin because he hates marble or any materials similar do to trauma
● was locked in the basement for half of his life
● is extremely self-conscious about being a vampire as everyone around him said that he was a monster
Originally I was going to reveal a 'new' character that is connected to onix, but then we could boop others and then I got distracted with it.
So here's a doodle him stealing a fish
(They are his preferred food choice)
I found an empty canvas on ibispaint and wanted to use it
it was very small. Don't know why tho-
It looks very adorable like this
I wanted to try digital art again and I love the result!
Something just clicked for me as I did this
A sketch of the idea of making onix look more like a monster
I think it turned out well!
So I drew onix to look more like the 2006 version of the lemmings and It came out a lot better than I thought
Color pencil and watercolor markers were used and a little bit of pencil too
