Hekateras 140 Posted April 26 (edited) I realised I have yet to share any of my DS art here on the forum, so here goes! "Kleiground" is a fan name for crossover art that brings together things from different Klei games. No, I did not come up with the name. Thank @WilliamGreywind (You can find my art stuff under http://forestfantasms.tumblr.com/ or https://www.instagram.com/forestfantasms/ .)I started off by drawing a lot of Wendy for Inktober Spoiler Wendy and Abi Spoiler I may be obsessed with Tallbirds, smallbirds, and everything in-between Spoiler Then I started drawing DS/Invisible Inc crossover art? Spoiler Draco (from the Contingency Plan DLC) would be impressed by Wendy's edge, if they ever met. Spoiler DS isn't the only Klei game with a superior-acting automaton/cyborg character Spoiler (I would be remiss not to advertise a mod my friend made that brings Dr. Xu to DST!)

minespatch 58,325 Posted April 26 I would've suggested spoiling your work due to the huge amount but thanks for making a thread here. 1 hour ago, Hekateras said: Beautiful amount of detail on this!

Hekateras 140 Posted April 26 (edited) Oh, haha, sorry, didn't realise that was expected here. Your drawing reminds me of Five Nights at Freddy's somehow... :' D Edited April 26 by Hekateras 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

DragonMage156 24,884 Posted May 7 I like the realistic approach on that first tallbird. It's cool, yet not too scary >u<; same goes for the yellow smallbird. I always wondered where all those Klei crossovers were. I hope they get a chance to see this ^_^ 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hekateras 140 Posted June 25 Thanks, DragonMage! I've got more Klei crossovers now, and some more art in general: Nika (from Invisible Inc) with a flash grenade, drawn in MS Paint Spoiler A different Nika, Copic markers (and some pencils) and some digital retouching Spoiler Dr. Xu and Draco in DST style, this is actually older but I lost it for a bit Spoiler A Draco in pencil and marker Spoiler A painterly Dr. Strange Spoiler And finally, some art I made for a DST Draco mod Spoiler You can play the mod here: Draco can write an edgy journal and get bonuses from scanning the dead 6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hekateras 140 Posted July 8 Some more art! Kleiground, or Agent Xu and Agent Draco from Invisible Inc, in DST: Spoiler Some regular Invisible Inc drawn for July 8th (a very special day in II lore history). This won't make much sense to anyone who's played the game and dug into the lore, but let's just say Draco's cat (a fanon creation btw) goes through a change of ownership in 2057... Spoiler All three drawn in MS Paint because I'm finding it very stress-relieving right now... Feels less high-pressure than Photoshop, idk. 6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
minespatch 58,325 Posted July 12 That first piece has great lighting and shading. Did you do these on ms paint? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Apparently, "Just one single squirrel in 2015 knocked out a substation in San Francisco and shut down power to 45,000 homes" Spoiler Believe it or not, this is technically Invisible Inc art too. XD I'm just saying, that squirrel is a saboteur. Spoiler Done in Photoshop. Edited July 12 by Hekateras 2 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hekateras 140 Posted July 24 Another Kleiground comic! My friend and I have been having a blast RPing as Draco and Tony in DST lately and I was inspired to draw this funny moment from it. Let's just say one of the two is more suited to survival situations than the other... Spoiler 1 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hekateras 140 Posted August 6 More sketches of cyberpunk+crossover stuff Spoiler A lil rat! Spoiler And here, something a little bit different - not a new creation, but I forgot to update my blog with these so I might as well share it here too. I enjoy arts and crafts and custom decorations as well, so I've been making these dragon books as gifts and commissions the past few years. Spoiler Next time: more DST art, hopefully, I've had more funny inspirational moments lately. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hekateras 140 Posted August 19 (edited) Some more stuff. A pretty elaborate painting of Prism (from Invisible Inc) I finished after months of messing around with it: Spoiler Next up is a slightly more cartoony (honestly I was kind of going for a mix between DS style and II style?) Dr. Xu with the skin I played him with in a recent server. I was lamenting that the fabulousness of the outfit is wasted in a game where the custom skins are barely even visible... Spoiler And last, Dr. Xu and Rush in the same style. Rush has a speed bonus in the game (which gives her an extra Action Point), while Dr. Xu has a -1 Action Point penalty, so this is how I imagine them when they're on a mission together ^^ Spoiler Edited August 19 by Hekateras 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
minespatch 58,325 Posted August 19 Wow! That Prism art really sparkles, nice effort in that piece. The floating reflective glass on her hair is a nice touch. Is Rush a DLC character? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
