Assumption #12: Little Guy

Helooooo :D

Ignacio is the youngest of the trio. Piengi is 25 and Drosera is 24, so they have quite a few years on him. Ignacio REALLY doesn’t like other people making him feel small. He doesn’t have any real reason for it other than ego, nothing more than a child’s desire to feel big and strong just for the sake of it. Unfortunately for him, the reality is that he’s the weakest of the group. He doesn’t have Piengi’s strength, nor does he have Drosera’s fighting spirit. Wh...

Assumption #11: Innocence

Hello again! Plant post today, yay :D

Despite their world being set in an old western 1800’s type of era, guns are actually quite rare! While the main reason for this is because I wanted to focus more on hand to hand combat for any fights that break out, I also can’t recall the last time I saw a tree that took any real damage from a bullet. So for weapons other than fists, Piengi and Ignacio have sharp spines to protect them, and Drosera has that feral instinct she uses to take down...

It’s Sven’s parents! His mother is a hunter (the ones with the crossbows) and his father is a brute.

Assumption #10: Eat

Hello! Posting a little later than I’d hoped to, but who cares huh?

Drosera has almost no social skills. She understands a few social cues, and she understands the concept of lying to get out of a tricky situation, but holding a general conversation with her gets wacky REALLY fast. Would she still like you if you were a worm? Her answer would be about how worms make good fish bait, and fish can be used to lure in large birds. She wouldn’t notice the concern on your face as she expla...

I’m learning :D

Hello! No plant people content today, but I do have some stuff I’ve been working on for a while!

Here’s a sneaky peeky at what I’ve been learning to do all week. Just a 3D render of Hors staring off into the abyss, nothing too crazy. The crazy stuff will be saved for later :D

Blender isn’t all that difficult once you get the hang of it. And animating with it ain’t all that complicated either 👀

But I’m not one to throw out spoilers! Remember to be patient, and...

Assumption #9: Love

Hello, I'm late for the funny heart day. I don't care :D

Everywhere Piengi goes, there's women staring at him, whispering things to each other about him. In a town where most cactus men have spiky beards and prickly attitudes, it's especially true. He's tall, he's a gentleman, he's got a foreign accent, and he's handsome, what's not to love? Now, Drosera isn't the typical town damsel, she's borderline feral if anything. But enough kindness can tame the wildest of beasts. He saved her li...

Assumption #8: Acid Spit

Hello! Doesn’t feel like a week has passed, but I’m back again with more casually unhinged Drosera content, woohoo!

In the real world, venus flytraps catch an insect and form a tight seal before they start the digestion process. If the trap can’t close fully, it doesn’t dissolve anything. Drosera’s flytraps are the same, so her traps can only handle small creatures like birds and rodents while bigger meals are eaten normally. She doesn’t eat bugs, since they’re too small t...

Assumption #7: Nerds

The trio is back again, with another assumption proven true!

Piengi loves baking in general, be he really enjoys making cakes with fun decorations! He finds it relaxing to make the individual details and then put them all together to make a whole scene. Ignacio loves making music, and if you give him a few minutes with a new instrument, he can figure out how to play a song with it! And if you play out of tune, expect some rapid disappointed Spanish from him. Drosera is an… interestin...

Big-headed Babies

Got hit with a random beam of motivation, and now I’ve drawn a bunch of baby Minecraft mobs! In alphabetical order, at that. I was gonna color it, but uh… nah. Didn’t feel like it, and that’s ok. Remember that, sometimes it’s good to not push yourself to the limit. Gotta keep some gas in your tank to make it to the station to refil, if that makes any sense lol

Enjoy the doodles anyway :]

Assumption #6 continued…

Hello again! Today’s post is a follow up from the last one.

I couldn’t resist making this part 2 because of how hilariously true to character it is. Piengi is the handsome gentleman who’s always getting attention from the ladies, despite him not reciprocating those feelings. What everyone else calls being a gentleman he calls just being a decent person, hence why he sees no reason to receive any kind of special attention. Ignacio loves attention however, and gets pretty irritated...

Assumption #6: Single

Howdy! I have a funny doodle today

A lot of Ignacio’s life revolves around music, and he knows how to play a lot of instruments! Guitar, violin, accordion, trumpet— just about any instrument you hand him, he can play it! As for him being single, a lot of people in his town find him annoying. It’s not without reason though, he’s a mischievous little rascal when he can get away with it. At least Piengi puts up with his antics, being the patient guy he is… of course, even Piengi ...

Assumption #5: Issues

Hello, got one of these things done over the week. The year changed, and then I took a nap, and now we’re here :v

I imagine Drosera having to hold something with one of her flytraps is the same as trying to hold a really heavy object with your teeth. Flytraps in real life use a lot of energy to close, and they’ll wilt away if they’re activated for nothing. As for Piengi, his situation made me realize that the plant people probably discovered velcro earlier than humans did. They’...

Assumptions #3 & #4: Edibility and Gremlins

I got two of em done this time! It feels like whatever barrier was holding me back before has been broken, which always confuses me. Artblock just pops up out of nowhere, chills for a little while, then disappears again. Well until next time I guess, lol

Anyway, I really like bringing out Drosera’s “swamp gremlin” side, which seems to be something that’s going to be happening a lot with these assumptions. As you can see, Piengi does his best to understand Drosera, even though sh...

Assumption #1: Photosynthesis

Well, I only got through one of these over the week. Oh well! I’ll keep going for however long I decide to go, hopefully at a faster rate. These are fun, anyway! A lot of you made some interesting assumptions, things that I hadn’t even thought about before! I’ve separated most of the assumptions into three categories: true, special mentions, and false. I’ll be drawing all the true ones first, then the special mentions which I’ll have my own character explain. Probably. I dunno yet. ...

Assume things challenge or something

I saw this little uhh… challenge? Trend? Idk what to call it but I thought it looked cool and wanted to try it out myself. It’s kinda similar to the “Ask me anything” one I did with them a while ago. I still haven’t finished that one actually… Maybe I will later, who knows!


Anyway, assume things about Piengi, Ignacio, or Drosera and I’ll draw their responses and post them next Friday! Been slipping on the weekly art lately, so this should help keep me on track....

Monster Princess

Alright I’m back from my nap! And now I have a funny doodle to share.

This takes place some time after Drosera is rescued from the underground arena. Much like everyone else, Ignacio is pretty convinced that Drosera is some kind of bog monster or maybe a swamp siren. Piengi on the other hand just sees a soul in dire need of some care. His chivalry code doesn’t exclude her, even if she did try to fight him not long ago.

As for me, I’ve been making slow progress getting used...

Desert Camp (Concept art)

I decided I’d make a sketch of a scene that would be in my little cactus story (I still need to come up with a good name for it). Drosera has been rescued, but she’s still wilted and dehydrated. Though the fire makes her thirst worse, she can’t survive the cold desert night without it. So she stares at it, like a bothered little muppet, while Ignacio expresses his objections to having Drosera join their little journey across the desert.

I didn’t have anything prepared to post this week and I’m just kinda tired right now so

Here’s a tiny Ignacio I posted to my Instagram story some days ago

Get plenty of rest, and I’ll probably post something again this week since this was just a tiny post 🩷

I’m also gonna try and get some patron-exclusive stuff done too 👍

They Stare 👁👁️

Hello Friday folks, how ya doin? I just have a small teaser thingy to share. Just a few zoomed in images of chibi(?) Drosera, Piengi, and Ignacio. The full image is so top secret that not even my patrons know exactly what I’m up to! I’m not sure I know either!!!! We’ll see how it turns out later, don’t know how long it’ll take.

As for a status update, Procreate Dreams is pretty cool. It’s still in its baby stages right now so there’s tons of features missing, but it defini...

The PS4 gremlins

Howdy! Got a funny drawing for today

I’ve mentioned the idea of “Pix Bit gaming” before, but I wonder how that would work? Sure, I could make a second channel, maybe for a bunch of random extra things and not just gaming. But I feel like concentrating on this channel would be a better move, even though it kinda curves away from the whole “animation channel” branding. I guess I could just slap some animation stuff in the less interesting parts of the gameplay and call it a day....

Drosera living her best life

I keep forgetting that Patreon works like social media and that I should post here too. I’m gonna try to post my weekly public doodles here too from today onward! Anyway, here’s today’s post…


In case you didn’t know, Drosera is a venus flytrap! Before she was captured, she lived a happy life in the bogs of what used to be North Carolina. That’s where real life venus flytraps grow naturally! Real life ones are also a vulnerable species (which means “endangered bu...
