Rain World Art - Tumblr Posts
I made an iterator OC for Rain World. :3 AND BEFORE ANYONE SAYS ANYTHING, YES, I USED LTTM's PICTURE AS A BASE!!! I've never drawn robots much before, so I wanted to be safe and have something as an outline first.
(Below is the source picture and more info on the OC)
This, is Eight Waves Upon A Rocky Shore. This iterator controls a completely different region from the ones in the game, one that I'll flesh out more, but it's home to a beautiful crystalline cavern region, a suburban Ancient development, and an overgrown fungal forest. I'm ass at drawing environments, so it might be awhile before you get to see that.
Anyways, Eight Waves isn't fully fleshed out, but I have the idea of a generally sassy iterator that's into astronomy and the stars that gets bored inside their can and somehow figures out a way to free their puppet to go exploring the world around them while their superstructure operates on an automated plan. Maybe some conflict in her story could come from the inherent danger of separating their interface from their 'body' of sorts, or noticing how her mission will soon become null once the last Ancients die out. Probably not the most original idea, but tbf this OC only popped into my head like, yesterday, and I loved the idea of an iterator getting lonely and literally breaking loose to go explore.
Regarding design, I tried to be funny with wires on their head to look more like braids rather than just long hair in itself. She also wears a black cloak and has a golden glow from the orb on the forehead. Eight Waves was originally going to be pearl white, but blue just looked better to me.
I also think that if I had to place my oc in the timeline, I'd put her right as the last few Ancients were ascending and effectively going extinct, so maybe I'll try to have an encounter between Eight Waves and an Ancient, or an Echo at least.
But other than that, this is all I have for Eight Waves. I might also make a Slugcat OC of my own. I'll also draw better, NOT TRACED art of Eight Waves once I have a solid grasp of their design.
And to redeem myself, here's proof of Eight Waves getting a proper artwork:
Concept art at least .
Eight Waves Upon A Rocky Shore is complete!
After making that trace art, I had to redeem myself with some actual art.
As said before, Eight Waves is the local iterator of a region dotted by crystalline caverns, fungal forests, and a suburban development for the Ancients built on top of her superstructure.
After her creation, this iterator was notable in that she acted as an accurate sky charter who recorded data on the behavior of the stars at night alongside her mission of solving the Great Problem. (Hence her "halo" being one that contains holographic data on stars and planets)
Eight Waves did her mission as she was made to do for a long time, until she noticed that the regular visits she got from the citizen workers are becoming few and far in between. It wasn't until one of them came to her and confessed that everyone was resorting to using the Void Fluid to ascend, leaving the great cities across the world abandoned and being taken over by nature. Her whole mission and reason for creation would be rendered null and void once the people were all gone. What would be Eight Waves' purpose from now on?
It was here that a novel idea came to this Iterator: What if she could explore the great big world to find more people? People who decided to wait for the solution to the Great Problem? They must be lonely, with everyone they know and then some ascending. Using her Overseer wasn't enough. Eight Waves did something novel for a purposed cybernetic organism--she figured out a way to separate her puppet from her can, and do it in a way that she can survive and explore the world.
Interestingly, she shared her plan with her local group. They didn't exactly react with pleasure at this novel idea. What could they do or say to convince her that this idea was ludicrous?
-----------
With DNA-shaped cords and a neat black cloak, Eight Waves seeks to travel and reunite as many Ancients as she can find. But how truly secure is her superstructure while she's away? What will her local group do in reaction to this insane goal? What kind of threats lie out there in a rapidly changing world?
I'll see if people like this before I make any more for this idea.
Plans for my slugcat oc, who I currently call...Snailcat.
Maybe not the most original idea, as I've just seen people mention the idea of a slugcat with a shell on other sites, but I shrugged and went along with the idea I had anyway.
Their current name is Snailcat, but I might come up with a more traditional name starting with "The---" or even give them an Ancient name. I'm not sure what their place in Eight Waves' story will be, or even if they'll even be in the same story. Also I'm not sure of the gender yet either, nor personality.
I do have an idea that while the shell appears a bit too small for the scug, this one is special in that they're able to easily contort their body to fit in the shell.
Hopefully I get around to posting more complete art of them soon!
A pair of Rain World creatures I created with the idea of "terrestrial beings larger than what the weather patterns could possibly support", while still trying to remain in the visual style of the game. Animals this large would eventually end up existing solely in a cold, blustery place devoid of dangerous storms. This creates a sort of tight, spontaneous, and highly volatile ecosystem consisting of organisms that were never designed to live alongside each other.
Still testing out my new drawing medium! so I tried to draw my 2 favorite rainworld scugs, Arti from vanilla and Poacher from modded :)
Just realized I never posted this: I made a rain world spray paint stencil, here are some of my favorite pieces!
This is so cool
This is for the rain world art month thingy! (1) :o) I've never done an art month before, but it gives me something to do, and I think I will enjoy it quite a bit!

I did a lot of experimenting on this piece, sorry if anything is off about it!! On my computer, it isn't as dark as I saw it was on my phone, but I think either are alright... I am open to any type of constructive criticism though, because I really want to get much better at the coloring and shading of things ^^
I love ur art style so much !!! It's so- FLUID , ITS LIKE THE SCUGS ARE ACTUALLY LIQUID
dayy 7+8??? i think! I love saint gourmy interactions so much they're so silly to me
Meet The Scugs!
I dunno if I will ever make this a whole series/au thing, I am working on another big Rainworld related project that takes up alot of my time. But I do wanna post lil drawings n comics. But for now here are the bio's n stuff for these guys. Just know some of the stories aren't exactly the same as the scugs in the game.. This is more of a scenario of "what if the Slugcats and other Rainworld creatures evolved into humanity and navigated the ruins of the world the ancients left behind? So, some of the lore from Rainworld may not apply or be changed to fit this narrative. Keep in mind these are also baseline character descriptions, as time goes on things may be subject to change or tweaked slightly! (and ofc there will be RW spoilers) with that said, Lets get started!
Artificer Age: 28 Pronouns: She/Her Occupation: Hunter/Gatherer Arti is one of the colony's hunter-gatherers, She was pretty much destined for the role due to her explosive powers. She has a tough exterior and is often blunt, which makes most intimidated by her. But deep down, she's caring and protective. She gets along really well with most of the other folks in the colony but is especially great friends with Gourmand, the colony leader. He helped support her through a low point in her life. There is one person she can't stand, Hunter. She's just too pretentious for her taste. Will they ever get along? who knows?
Gourmand Age: 40 Pronouns: he/him Occupation: Colony leader Gourmand is the beloved leader of the Colony in Outer Expanse. Sweet, caring, and kind. A father of two and an excellent cook. He is a natural-born leader. He adores his community and would do anything for them. Likewise, he makes sure that the Colony is safe and comfortable for every single member and is always willing to take in others if they need shelter. Of course, he isn't perfect. He doubts himself and works to the bone, often burning himself out. At the end of the day, his friends and family are always there to support him.
Hunter Age: 30 Pronouns: She/Her Occupation: Hunter Gatherer
Hunter is a sarcastic and smug slugcat, charming to most and pretentious to others (cough cough Artificer). Hunter is very talented at hunting and tracking, skilled with a spear, and knows how to survive even the toughest of situations. She developed rot tumors on her belly and hip. While not fatal, it has hindered her ability to survive solo, as she needs frequent breaks and rest to not completely tire herself out. She found Gourmands colony and was immediately accepted with open arms. Everything was going pretty well until she met Artificer. She still doesn't completely understand why she has a vendetta against her, hey! At least they can go on a hunt together without bickering the whole time, progress is progress!
Rivulet/Ruffles Age: 22 Pronouns: They/Them Occupation: Gourmand's Assistant Rivulet, (or called Ruffles by their friends) help's out Gourmand with the colony. Deliveries? Chores? Packing? Moving? Whatever it may be, Rivulet is on it speedily and quickly. They are also a fantastic swimmer. It's never a dull moment with them around, they'll always be there to cheer you up. While a great helper, sometimes they act before they think, being clumsy from time to time. Luckily they got the help of their friends if they ever encounter a sticky situation.
Spearmaster Age: 24 Pronouns: he/him Occupation: Armory/Tool making/Handyman Spearmaster's name is literal, a master of spears. He is very good at building things, a true craftsman. Spears is well-rounded and knowledgeable. He is generous and always helps the colony with building stuff and supplying all the farmers and fishers with tools. He can also fix lots of things in a pinch. Spearmaster is a bit odd, he has no mouth but can still talk. How does he eat? Well, he doesn't. he stabs things with his tail spears and gains nutrients from the things he stabs with them. He came to the colony out of nowhere. There is a rumor that he is from a superstructure far far away from the colony. Maybe he is a little peculiar but definitely cherished by all.
Saint Age: 36 Pronouns: he/him Occupation: Town Physician and Cleric/Mentor Saint is a wise one, a calm and gentle soul. He is very in touch with the cycle and knows the ways of the world. Not only does he help the sick and injured, but he also is there to guide and counsel those who need it. He is also good at being a mediator and solving problems. This means Artificer and Hunter keep him on his toes, but as with everything, he handles it with grace. No one really knows too much about Saint's upbringing or origin, he doesn't really talk about himself much at all. As for right now, he is teaching and mentoring Monk about Medicine and teaching her brother Survivor, Clergy.
Monk Age: 18 Pronouns: she/her Occupation: Saint's Pupil, learning medicine Monk is the youngest of them all, bashful and shy but a sweetie. She came to the colony with her older brother, Survivor. They got separated from their parents at a young age, and have stuck together ever since. Monk is still figuring herself out but for right now she's trying her best to take the role of physician in the future, helping the sick and injured is rewarding for her and something she is passionate about pursuing. Navigating adulthood is hard, but she is slowly learning and making a difference in her community.
Survivor Age: 21 Pronouns: he/him Occupation: Saints Pupil, learning Clergy Survivor is Monk's older brother, He has a head on his shoulders and is always willing to try his best. He has his flaws, he isn't the most socially aware person and is a bit stubborn. He never really got to socialize with other slugcats, he isn't sure if he will be a good cleric but he wants to try. Not only that, but he had to spend the majority of his life taking care of his little sister, being her main protector and caretaker. He never really grew up finding what he was good at or what he wanted in life. He just learned how to survive. He hopes that joining the colony would benefit him and his sister and being Saints pupil will point him in the right direction.
Enot/Inv Age: 24 Pronouns: They/He Occupation: Tailor/clothier There is so much to be said about Enot, but I'll give you the gist. Enot works as a tailor and helps make and sell clothes for the colony. They are a bit melodramatic and misguided and a hopeless romantic, commonly making a fool out of themselves. Even if they are awkward at times, they mean well and are always willing to take part in any festivities, always overdressing no matter the occasion.
Nightcat Age: 23 Pronouns: he/him Occupation: Carpenter Nightcat isn't much of a talker, blank-faced, and has almost nothing to say. Everyone knows he can build a perfect shelf or cabinet though. If you ever get to know him personally (which is rare) You will find that He is a straight-to-the-point, matter-of-fact type of guy. He doesn't have many friends, usually only talking to Spearmaster and occasionally Enot. Who knows, maybe he'll come out his shell.
Here it is! Commission for Oslo (intrcrypt) with their OC NHI. This is by far my best piece when it comes to Rain World!
And bellow you may find the process of how I did everything, I hope you may enjoy it! Thank you! (´▽`ʃ♡ƪ)
you have drawn the cutest rivulets ever thank you theyre adorable i genuinely love how they look
THANK YOU........ they're so eyeballs. very fun to draw. here. flat fuck friday rivulet for your troubles
Memory Conflux
First post on tumblr! Been thinking about posting art somewhere else besides twitter
Its been a while since ive drawn canon moon so have this wholesome doodle of moon hugging rivulet !! my page reeks of evil moon i think it deserves a break/silly
Distant city Concept by @darthzz-ploo-world, I really loved the idea and Upperwall is one of my favorite short tracks so I decided to try and animate it.
i honestly feel like it's a shame that Artificer's backstory was told through gameplay cutscenes rather than artwork. i mean the gameplay scenes weren't bad or anything, but the intro cutscene and dream sequences that Survivor/Monk got had such pretty art and were really impactful! so i tried to do it myself :D
(i wish every slugcat got illustrated dreams - imagine if we got to see Hunter and Spearmaster have dreams about NSH and Suns. or if we got to see Rivulet's dreams where they're just swimming or eating bubble fruit XD. and Saint could have lore cool lore stuff! it could really help characterize each scug)
I JUST REALISED I HAVE A TUMBLR AND I PROBABLY NEED TO POST SOMETHING LOL-
Well, how about I'll show you a pretty old art of my favourite silly green robotXD? AND BY OLD I MEAN LIKE, 6-7 MONTHS???
Hehe, my old hyperfixation with rain world slowly starts to going back... I guess I'll draw some stuff soon.
if youre cold, theyre cold put them in the microwave
