Gamblit - Psychie of Thrill! Only realised after I made the last post that I forgot to reveal this one! #PsychiesArt #creaturedesign

Gamblit is a creature that consists of a roulette wheel that appears like a dress and a large six sided dice for a head. Its arms are formed of ribbons extending from a bright red bow-tie on its neck.

This constantly teeters between highest peaks of joy and the deepest trenches of sadness every time it spins its wheel. It delights in the possibility of reaching either extreme regardless of the outcome.

The easiest Psychie to design was probably Gamblit, Psychie of Thrill. Mixing several aspects of gambling into a single creature! Hardest was probably Roevenant, Psychie of Desparation. I went through a lot of iterations before settling on a zombie salmon which suit the theme! #PsychiesArt

Question: So far, what two Psychies have been the hardest to design and the easiest to design respectively?

Illustration: Gamblit, Psychie of Thrill, as a roulette wheel on wheels in the form of a dress with a dice for a head.

Roevenant, Psychie of Desperation, as a rotting zombie salmon swirling around below Gamblit.

Noticed I had a few more questions on my Strawpage yet to be answered so I wanted to get back into drawing some responses! My personal Psychie would probably be Dreadline, Psychie of Stress. It's a strong motivator sometimes to get things done but can quickly lead to burnout! #PsychiesArt

Question: Out of all the Psychies you've created so far, which would you say is your dominant Psychie personally? Myself, I'd say Sentreer.

Illustrated response: Persona character of myself hunched over a drawing tablet with Dreadline (a large squid shaped from an inkwell) leaning over and surrounding me overbearingly.

Eighth and last attack of #artfight2026! This is a revenge for ~KouKuroi on artfight featuring their character, Akuma Bakken! I'm so grateful for all the attacks I've received and cool character's I've been able to draw this year, so here's hoping I can draw more next year!

Seventh attack of #artfight2026! This is a revenge for @azumaknight.bsky.social! Featuring their character, Rhino the Bashful Beetle! I thought the design was super cute and easy to animate so I thought I might as well get an animated attack out this year!

My Commanders!!! I started playing last year but only started playing physical this year. These are the commanders I made physical decks of! Horde of Notions was my first but is still my favourite, using the Ashling The Limitless precon as a base. #MTG

Psychies don't have evolutions but Psychies can transform into other Psychies under the right circumstances. They are very unstable creatures, so exposure to emotions beyond their own may cause them to mood shift and transform into another Psychie! #PsychiesArt #creaturedesign

Question: "Do Psychies evolve into new forms like other mon games? Is it like an Invizimals situation where the name stays the same but they evolve into bigger more advanced forms?"

Illustration: Process of a Derbling (Psychie of Playfulness) transforming into Dullien (Psychie of Boredom) and back when exposed to Sadness + Time and Joy + Play respectively.

Part 5 for this question! Probably the last for this question for now but I'll revisit it at a later date for the other emotions! Petrillop and Fear both panic at anything new and do their best to protect their host from danger. They are also frozen in shock just seeing each other. #PsychiesArt

"What would be the perfect Psychies to represent the main cast of inside out?"

Illustration depicts Petrillop (Psychie) and Fear (Inside Out) both jolted up in shock at seeing each other, frozen in fear.

Part 4 for this question! Sulleech and Disgust match each other but probably don't like each other very much. Both of them are mutually disgusted by one another. #PsychiesArt #InsideOut

"What would be the perfect Psychies to represent the main cast of Inside Out?"

Illustration depicts Sulleech (Psychie) and Disgust (Inside Out) making repulsed faces at each other.

Part 3 for this question! Cruciboil and Anger both seem to let rage build up inside of them until it bubbles over and erupts like a volcano, so they seem like a perfect fit! #PsychiesArt #InsideOut

"What would be the perfect Psychies to represent the main cast of Inside Out?"

Illustration shows Cruciboil (Psychie) and Anger (Inside Out) shouting at each other with fire erupting from the tops of their heads.

Part 2 for this question! Sadness and Droopery. Sometimes the strongest of us are those who look like they are barely keeping it together, and that is true of both of them. #PsychiesArt #InsideOut

"What would be the perfect Psychies to represent the main cast of inside out?"

Illustration depicts Droopery (Psychie) and Sadness (Inside Out) huddled up around a sad memory orb together.

Thank you to whoever sent this question, it's a really fun idea! This answer will be a multi-parter so this is part 1! First of all, Derbling and Joy! Both energetic, peppy and playful, while also having a bit of unexpected blue in their designs! #PsychiesArt #InsideOut

"What would be the perfect Psychies to represent the main cast of inside out?"

Illustration depicts Derbling (Psychie) and Joy (Inside Out) bowing to each other politely with big smiles on their faces.

Wanting to get back to my Strawpage to answer some questions about Psychies! Florgetta are probably the most common Psychies. Although not emotions themselves, they play an important role in cleaning the mindscape and discarding old memories.

"Out of all the Psychies you've made, which one would you say is the most common/prevalent in the world? (Optional bonus question: Which of each type is the most common?)"

Illustration depicts two Florgetta brushing away dusty old memories with a broom and feather duster.

Wanting to wish everyone a merry Christmas and a happy New Year by reworking a very old Psychie design from when I first started this project years back! Meet Fluddle, Psychie of Kindness! #PsychiesArt

Fluddle, Psychie of Kindness.

Fluddle is a penguine-like creature wearing a pink and yellow sweater. It holds two knitting needles from which strings from its belly knot together to create a sweater.

Been hard at work at my submission for @moiraigames.bsky.social's Monster Design contest for Aethermancer! Here's what I've been working on: Stiltskin, The Two Faced Weaver. Based on Rumpelstiltskin, it's a monster that lures humans into golden traps of its design. #creaturedesign

Excited to explore Lumiose again in Pokemon #pokemonlegendsZA!!! I'll be trying to do some drawing during my playthrough of my team members. This is Garni, a pampered Chikorita from the countryside moving to the city and my starter for the game!

Flashback to 2022 when drew this. I had a horrible cold but spent my time playing Pokemon Legends Arceus and Monster Sanctuary. It's now 2025 and I have a horrible cold, ready to play Pokemon Legends ZA tomorrow and been binging Aethermancer. It all comes full circle!

"Even if you, in there, isn't the real you... I wanna be with you" Animated my Psychie characters, Tellykin (left) and Carquette (right), to PinocchioP's song 'Yozurina'. A song about being so love sick you don't care if you're being lied to. #PsychiesArt #pinocchiop #animation

Hey... but what if we do really get a Mega Machamp today? When Machamp mega evolves it becomes a disgraced brawler that uses whatever advantages it can take in battle by enhancing its body with metal cladding. #PokemonLegendsZA #Pokemon

Illustration of a speculative Mega Machamp with 6 metallic arms, each wielding golden knuckle dusters. Machamp's usual champion belt has been replaced with a big red cross instead.

Thirteenth attack of #artfight2025 is for @amplified.bsky.social! An animated attack featuring their character, Memento! A bit rusty on the 2D animation front but I wanted to stretch my legs a bit for this attack!

FossilFace @fossilface.bsky.social · 28/07/2025

Twelfth attack of #artfight2025 is for ~themuseinspired!! Featuring their character, Estelle or "Stala"! For such an experimental character, I felt it was only right to be quite experimental myself!
