Third one (aka the bane of my existence)
#vtuber #wip
Third concept of GoldGauntlet's VTuber avatar, except that the picture is cropped from the bust upwards. They sport black cat ears that fade into white at the tips of the ears, as well as short, curly black hair with one white streak visible in the front. Their glasses have a white rim that is shaped to make the glasses look similar to the infinity symbol. They also sport a black choker with a solar eclipse-designed ring attached to it. They are wearing a long-sleeved, dark gray shirt with a black corset top worn over it. Their makeup consists of black eyeshadow and black, two-toned lipstick.

You don't understand how much I love them- DOUBLE-SIDED POSTER? (I did not see that in the item description when I bought this LOL)
Side cover of the box for the Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess manga set. It features Link on the left with the Master Sword on his back, and Midna's true form is on the right. At the bottom, the text reads: "Includes exclusive double-sided poster" in capital letters.

If you see this, quote with a game you've replayed multiple times.

Then tag a friend (or 3)

Another one
#vtuber #wip
Part of a second concept for a VTuber made by GoldGauntlet. Seen is a cropped picture of a catboy from the bust upwards. He has long, braided, two-toned hair - Black hair is the main color, while the underlayer matches the same color as the moon. Some of the hair is tied up into a bun, and babyhairs are visible on the right side of the head. The ears are moon-colored at the tips, but they progressively fade into black. The catboy has brown skin, brown eyes (same as the first concept), two-toned lips, and black eyeshadow. Acne scars in the form of stars (most of which are connected) can be seen on the face and shoulders. He wears half-frame glasses with a gold rim, as well as a casual brawler outfit. Seen is a sleeveless dark blue tank top underneath a light blue hoodie. Dark blue accents line part of the hoodie, and a silver zipper can be seen.

Messed around with an idea for Amy if she was 20 years old

Left: Edit
Right: Original

#sonicthehedgehog #amyrose
GoldGauntlet's design edit of Amy Rose from the Sonic the Hedgehog series. Amy is sporting a pastel red hairband, as well as eyeshadow and lipstick that are the same color. Amy's off-the-shoulder top is also pastel red, but white at the ends of the top. Her top is tucked into a plaid, pastel red skirt. A black, sleeveless bodysuit is implied to be underneath both the top and skirt. Amy's boots have been modified to be more like platform boots instead of high-heels. They also have more square shapes, and their new color scheme includes black and pastel red. Amy Rose's original modern design from the Sonic the Hedgehog series.

Here's my Afro-Korean MC 5 design for #blacktober

#blacktober2024 #mysticmessenger
GoldGauntlet's design for the fifth avatar that the player can choose from in the otome game Mystic Messenger. She has curly pink hair with a few side braids. Her eyes are purple, and her skin is brown. Her nails are all painted pink except for the middle fingers, which are a pale mint color. Her jacket is also a pale mint, but the sleeves are contrasted by purple stripes. Her crop top is purple, and her skirt is a pale blue with five golden buttons on it. Her leggings are a dark, pale green. She sits on a gray, stone wall, smiling, with a blue sky with clouds in the background.

Rouge color palette edit that I did as a test run in Affinity Photo

#sonicthehedgehog #rougethebat
GoldGauntlet's design edit of Rouge the Bat from the Sonic the Hedgehog series. Rouge's eyeshadow and lipstick have been changed to a purplish red. The pink hearts on her chest and boots - as well as the pink areas of her gloves - have also been changed to the same color as her eyeshadow. Her white gloves and boots are now the same dark, muted purple as her wings, and her bodysuit (minus the heart) has also been changed to same purple color. Rouge's torso and arms are now white, and the metal border around the heart on her chest is the same blueish-silver color as the bottom of her heeled boots. Rouge the Bat's original design from Sonic Adventure 2.

Boom, another piece I made for an art telephone hosted by @blackcardmems.bsky.social
(The alt text word limit here compared to Tumblr was killing me, I tried to simplify it as best as I could)
From left to right: Black Card Member mascots Amara, Farah, and Alicia. Farah is trying to take a selfie with her friends. Amara is waving for the camera, and Alicia is eating a popsicle shaped to look like the Black Card Member's dog mascot, Rex. Amara is plus-sized and has black dreadlocks, while Farah is wearing a hijab and Alicia has her reddish-brown hair partly tied into ponytails. All three mascots are wearing casual clothes. In the background is what is implied to be a brick bridge with lights hanging in the corners. Accessories with shapes such as stars, hearts, rectangles, and teardrops hang along the arch, and the buildings further away fade into a bright orange near the bottom of the art. In one of the building's windows, one crewmate from Among Us is trying to murder another crewmate. There are stars in the sky.

Another redesign but it's Yang this time

Left: Edit
Right: Original

#rwby #yangxiaolong
GoldGauntlet's redesign of Yang from RWBY. Yang now has a dark red hairtie to hold back her hair. She also wears a dark yellow cropped jacket with white stripes on the sleeves, collar, and ends of the jacket. She has a pale yellow cross-strap bra with her emblem still visible on the left side. Her pants match, which are also pale yellow but have a dark red, ruffled layer underneath. On top of her pants is a darker yellow cloth parted into sections, with a white stripe across each section. The pants also have a black flaming wheel symbol that is meant to reference Nezha from Chinese mythology. Her black gloves are longer and are meant to be sturdier. She wears a dark red belt with gold buttons and a similarly gold buckle over her pants. Two small brown bags are attached to her belt, and the bags' flaps have a gold button on top. Her black boots with white laces are oversized and have a tiny red bear on the front of each boot. They are implied to not be hers, but instead Junior's boots. Yang Xiao Long's original Volume 1 design from RWBY.

#rwby #blakebelladonna
GoldGauntlet's design edit of Volume 1 Blake Belladonna from RWBY. Blake is now wearing a black french vest that has two silver buttons on it, with a white sleeveless top underneath. The white top is tucked into her black, flared ruffle pants. Attached to Blake's pants is her silver-colored emblem. Her pants also don't reach all the way down to her shoes, which now have silver buttons and purple soles. The inside of Blake's vest features a similar purple, and her belt is the same way with a silver buckle on it. Blake Belladonna's original Volume 1 design from RWBY.

Stuff I did for #arttelephone events hosted by @blackcardmems.bsky.social

The one on the left was finished recently, and the one on the right was finished last year.
Art of seven black card mascots. From left to right, clockwise: Mason, Alicia, Kai, Simon, Amara, and Rex (the dog) with Farah in the middle. They are all posing and celebrating four years of the Black Card Members's existence. There is an Among Us crewmate easter egg on the card in the top right. Black Card Members mascot Amara, who is a dark-skinned black woman with brown eyes and dark brown dreadlocks, is wearing a Cooking Mama cosplay. She is holding a pan full of ghost s'mores in her left hand, and a spatula in her right hand. A Cooking Mama-themed phone is in her apron's pocket, and there are ghosts swirling behind her in the background.

Finally finished this other blacktober drawing I was working on (yes ik it's late) but here's my (second) attempt at drawing Nigerian Kaeya
Kaeya from Genshin Impact re-imagined as a Yoruba swordsman. He dons an agbada and boots that are mostly black, but highlighted with mostly brown and gold. He has a sash tied around his waist, and the sash has jewels at both ends. Kaeya wears leather, spiked gauntlets that match the color of his agbada and boots, and his hair is braided in a ponytail while complemented by a peacock feather as an accessory. His earring matches the jewels on his sash, and he's holding a sword that has star-shaped grooves in it. The five circles seen in a continuous pattern lined on Kaeya's agbada, as well as the same pattern seen on his boots, symbolize loyalty in Yoruba culture, which I felt was very fitting for Kaeya's character.

Oh, cool!

I'm Demiromantic & Demisexual, and like a fair number of my OCs are acespec. The art below is some of my more recent work
Render practice featuring my character, Hlíf. She has white hair and two red horns, but her left horn is broken. She also has red eyes with green pupils, dark skin, and is wearing a pink dress with a bit of lace. The choker she is wearing is also pink. The background consists of mostly darker blues, made with the usage of the default water brush in Procreate. Armani designed with the intention to look like a Mortal Kombat character. All of her clothes and body markings are South Sudanese inspired, with mostly green clothes and the shirt containing a hibiscus flower pattern on it. The body markings are traditional Nüer scarification seen in South Sudan. Armani is also wearing a visor, and her hair is tied up in a ponytail while decorated with gold accessories. Her previously all green hair now has a blonde gradient to better match with her brother, Odongo.

I forgot to make an intro post lmao

Hi, I'm Gold. Twitter suspended my account for no reason so I'm trying this app out (forgive me if I don't get this app's etiquette right away), but since it's October I'll be posting Blacktober content for now. These ones are from last year:
Claude von Riegan from Fire Emblem: Three Houses reimagined as half-black for last year's Blacktober. He's wearing a crown, since that was related to the prompt. Aisha (Charmix form) from Winx Club, made for last year's Blacktober. The prompt was "Water," and Aisha is surrounded by bubbles. My original character, Armani, wearing a dress colored with yellow, green and red. It also has a red ribbon and a red heart pattern scattered across the dress. She has a green top underneath the dress, and around her neck is a beaded necklace that also contains a heart gem. Armani also wears yellow glasses, and she is surrounded by glitch effects in a mysterious blue area. The prompt was: "Mysterious." The dialogue in the picture says, "Many thoughts are stored behind those amber eyes...but so many things are left unsaid. Kind as she may be, she can't decode her heart." Hawks from My Hero Academia reimagined as blasian for last year's Blacktober. It is a redraw of the attempt that I made at drawing Hawks back in 2020, referencing a pose that he made in the anime.
