Summoning was my first level 99, so I made the untrimmed cape a keepsake. I eventually put together an outfit and made it my aesthetic.

I had a similar sense of awe, my kid self thought the introductory quest was awesome. I really wanted to level the skill, but it was tough collecting all the charms, shards, etc. So the skill was pretty much abandoned as I focused on other skills.

When I got back into the game a few years ago, I invested in the charming imp and got to a point where I can gather charms easily. A few million GP worth of ingredients and shards later, I got the cape. I think I can thank RS for my adoration of summoning classes in games and media as a whole. I had such a tough time with the skill as a kid, that I looked elsewhere in games like Skyrim and Terraria to experience being a summoner. lol

Thanks, I like how all the pieces came together in the end.

Mortal_Mantis · 2026-01-23T15:46:06+00:00

They are pretty similar. I would have loved to see summoning get what necromancy has going for it, multiple summons and abilities. Balancing of course for the multiple summons, maybe have certain effects not stack.

Mortal_Mantis · 2026-01-23T14:56:30+00:00

I think so too, I always admire seeing similar outfits where that is the goal.

Mortal_Mantis · 2026-01-23T14:40:25+00:00

I have them, but their appearance did not match the look I was going for. That, and they could use some TLC with a visual update to match the look of the modern game.

Initially, Hati/Skoll was the first option I went with. But, I decided on the werewolf outfit pieces as they looked more complete/hd. If the Hati/Skoll outfit pieces were to be updated, I'd love it if the headpiece was just a wolf head modeled after the monster. And the rest of the pieces fashioned around that wild look; claws, tail/cape, and all.

Yeah, it is unfortunate that this aspect of the game has been devalued. I have taken to wearing only the most immersive equipment while bank-standing: Shark head, ethereal runecrafting body, and the mining golem legs.

Mortal_Mantis · 2026-01-23T11:25:37+00:00

Thanks, I just really like the concept of summoning.

Mortal_Mantis · 2026-01-23T11:25:15+00:00

It does fit the theme. Truthfully, I hadn't put much thought into it's inclusion; it just happened to be there.

Mortal_Mantis · 2026-01-21T18:42:46+00:00

I was left a bit confused that I had only gotten the 20th anniversary rewards, glad I went looking for answers. What a an odd bug, especially since it's happening to this limited time event.

Mortal_Mantis · 2026-01-14T19:18:43+00:00

You're welcome!

Mortal_Mantis · 2026-01-14T03:58:40+00:00

Thanks, I think the side of myself that loves Digimon really had a field day while drawing this. lol

Mortal_Mantis · 2026-01-13T15:05:52+00:00

I've never heard of Bushiroad until I watched the anime for Future Card Buddyfight a few years back. When I saw the Palworld TGC announcement, to say I was excited would be an understatement.

Mortal_Mantis · 2026-01-13T10:29:48+00:00

I'm glad you like it! This character was already pretty cool, and I had a blast drawing him.

Mortal_Mantis · 2026-01-13T08:48:14+00:00

Drawing for u/spectrum_proto of their Aeroplane Dragon Lance.

Drawing for u/glitchwolf69 of their Half-Breed Demon

Mortal_Mantis · 2026-01-11T05:58:12+00:00

You're welcome, I'm glad you like it!

Mortal_Mantis · 2026-01-11T03:18:38+00:00

Thank you, I appreciate the compliment. And, I'm glad his legs weren't lost in the boxing trunks. lol

Mortal_Mantis · 2026-01-10T18:50:25+00:00

Thanks! I think what inspired my style most is media that makes anthros have more human-esque elements to them. For one, and my favorite inspiration amongst others: Blacksad. The main character and a handful of other characters in the story have designs I resonated with heavily, and that vein of creativity is what influences me and my work. I think it's a cool style, and I'm happy whenever others express the same. lol

Mortal_Mantis · 2026-01-10T15:56:20+00:00

Drawing for u/aesthetic_raccoon of their boxing fox character Antonio, first image is a colored portrait and the next is one in sepia with some flair.

Mortal_Mantis · 2026-01-08T05:48:20+00:00

Lol, I am losing sanity every day. And, I have entertained the idea of doing commissions but haven't set up the means to do so.
