Hermit a Day May - Day 1: Impulse!
sketch and lineart vers under the cut!
I've been watching too many GIGGS R.E.P.0. steams lately And I've been inspired
“I cherish it [the imp and skizz friendship] as well.”
I’ve been told that you guys would like it
I know that almost every single one of my posts are impulse related, but I just love this little guy
hihihi I'm really excited to participate in this for the first time 🤭 I'll do my best to draw for every single day even if its just a doodle 💪
please check out the official @hermitadaymay blog for info on this event!!
the goal of this month-long challenge is to show appreciation for every single hermit but the lovely people at hermitadaymay are also running a fundraiser for Gamers Outreach with fun milestone rewards to give back to those who donate. And remember!! Every dollar makes a difference!! so go donate even if you've only got a single dollar to spare🫵

anyways its impy day! yippee! i really wanted to draw s10 cyberpunk impy so this is what i managed. gave him a ton of piercings and some blackout tattoo-like markings like the ones in my default impy design. and hair.
i also came up with some bits of lore for him and bdubs while i was coming up with their respective designs for this season. maybe ill share those on bdubs day 🤔

i know ive been mostly posting double life designs and headcanons for my AU but this is just a default impy. Well, obviously with my delusional twist on him but this is him without any bdubs traits.
Just felt like drawing good ol Impulse.
basically i knew i wanted impulse to be netherborn and also wanted him to be an "imp" whatever that means. So while researching imps i found a few forgotten realms designs for their version of imps which is a lil guy with horns, your typical demon kind of wings and....a scorpion tail. so that's where that part came from.
if anyone is curious about the designs process, here are some brainworms of mine;
Then i thought "okay how i make this minecraft nether related?" scorpions have venom right? but poison isnt very nether coded so i thought of other effects. fire is tango's thing in my brain, thats off the table. then naturally my brain goes to wither effect. and what has wither in the nether? wither skeletons. thats where his black markings and exposed spine came from. (also if you remember my double life au bdubs design, this is why he got wither roses in his new design)
then an extra pair of wings to make him more buggy and thats about it.
little things like his tripp shorts and piercings were just me hitting him with the projection beam and making him punk-ier. i literally just used my own shorts as reference.
im not gonna go into the delusional nether lore i made up for him...at least not for now.
oh but the fact he has blue in his design is cause i somehow decided hes native to the soulsand valley biomes. cause uhhh skeletons?
