I Wanted To Try Drawing Without Outlines, And I’m Not Sure How I Feel About The Final Result, But I

Joel’s episode:

I wanted to practice faces and hair, so I made an art (scandalous, I know). Its just some rando, ig, although I realized after I finished it that the hair suspiciously resembled my take on party poison. I had to resist the urge to go back and just fully make it a party poison fanart. You have to draw original stuff too, Ian! It can’t all be fanart!!

…

anyway,

Not happy with how the shirt came out, so let’s all stare at the head again because I’m really proud of that hair:

(I don’t know why the background changed when I cropped it. Oh well)

i enjoyed drawing this hair style, so I might adapt it to use for one of my characters, but anyway this took three hours of my life that I won’t ever get back and I’m not above begging for validation on the internet please like or comment on this or any of my posts please please please I am lonely. Also I’m taking this opportunity for to formally apologize for changing my pfp every other day it will keep happening I assure you I just wanted to say sorry about that, and also sorry for making you read this word salad. I hope the rest of your day is lovely enough to make up for whatever this post is.

I love the game Don’t Starve Together, even if I am absolute shit at it gameplay wise. I love the lore, and the art style, and the characters, and the dark humor. My favorite guy (lore wise) is Wes. I don’t play him though, on account of (again) me being completely dreadful at actually playing the game. But here is a wip of him.

He’s just a silly little guy who fell into the constant by mistake!

Grian makes a great blorbo because he is so… blorby

He is so proud of that waffle hat and you cannot change my mind.

Hi guys! Good news, I hucked my broken pencil at a wall in frustration, and it un-broke itself (mostly…), so I spent many hours making a boat boys animatic. Bad new, I don’t know how to sync audio, so I just had to record my iPad and play the song on a separate device. Its really bad quality guys (big sad), but I still think the actual animatic turned out pretty well, even if it’s still in the sketching phase. Anyway, the song is I Was an Island by John-Allison Weiss, go listen to it it’s so hilariously boat boys coded I can’t. Anyway, disclaimer, this is all for sillys and giggles. Also beware the angst.

things I drew at 5:00 am last night. No I don’t know why I was up or felt compelled to draw Joel Smallishbeans at such an hour, but here have my insanity in paper form.

for context he’s singing I’m not okay by MCR. I could have kept going with the lyrics. I am unsure as to whether that’s a flex or a sign of a problem.

^This is from @insomnya777’s super au. Sorry nya if it’s inaccurate again this was 5 am Ian and he’s a little bit strange and also I didn’t have internet and couldn’t check to see what the outfits actually look like but I’m now motivated by this terrible sketch to make proper fanart of your au because it’s amazing! (For like a month I had forgotten that the Etho-listening-to-Paramore factoid was from your fic and thought it was true and subsequently listened to, like, their entire discography because I was like “I mean if Etho likes ‘em…” lol)

I hear you op

also I accidentally drew their totk designs instead of botw but um it’s a sequel so it’s probably fine sorry lol.

Anyway for the like past day one question has consumed me: would Scott be Sidon because of limited life or would Jimmy be Sidon because of Empires season 1?

Treebark botw au IS ANYONE HEARING ME

very important official zine stuff for real this time guys please spread this around

we realized we haven’t asked you what you want this zine to be, so here is poll with some different options for things we could do, but this still won’t set things in stone cause we’re aware that we’re working with a relatively small albeit amazing awesome and extremely appreciated audience, but it’ll give us a good idea for what direction you want the zine to go in.

some examples of what we mean for added coherence, please read before voting unless you wanna be like that guy in the Simpsons movie:

an eras tour zine (yes this is a Taylor swift joke shut up if you’re judging us you’re wrong) would be like different pieces dedicated to each, for lack of a better word, “thing” that Joel has done. @/inthelittlezine is a great example of this concept, except the mod has far better organizational skills than we ever could hope to

tourism brochure would be like we pick a specific thing Joel, such as esmp 1 or 2, or x life, or one of his hardcore/survival worlds (I haven’t listed Hermitcraft season 10 cause that’s still in progress but if you guys really really wanna, that too), and make an in universe guide to it expanding upon the lore and characters and builds and stuff. @/scarland-artbook is an amazing example of this, though of course we would be a much smaller scale of a project.

do you wanna tell a story? Or ride our bikes around the halls? We can’t help with the second one, we’re not very sporty people, but this option is both the most difficult and dangerous to the success of the zine, and the one that intrigues me specifically the most. Like, guys, I know I’m polling this, but I’m secretly hoping that this one wins. Like all the hoping. Ever. But I’m not gonna just say yeah let’s do this because if like only three people also wanna this zine will never get made and I will be really, really sad. This option is basically do we wanna take something Joel has done and work together to create an original universe/story based off of it, each contributing a small part of the story in comic or writing form. Unless you’ve been living under a rock and/or this post broke containment sorry if it did I assure I’m usually mostly sane, you probably know where I’m shamelessly stealing taking inspiration from. We heart you @/hotguycomiczine. If we went with this we would obviously create our own universe and storyline, and we’d try to base it off of one of Joel’s characters if possible. Also, if we went with this, we’d start the mod and application process and stuff and once we knew everyone who was going to be in the zine then we’d all get together and start working on the story, and this is the part I’m worried about because if we’re all stumped then I guess the zine is out of luck and I’d be sad. Also even if we did do this, like preemptively temper your expectations I am no where near as good as the legends at hotguycomiczine at organization and promotion and story writing and all that good stuff. However, if you have an idea for a story and want to share, send us an ask cause we might just end up using it.

I think the last two are mostly self explanatory.

please reblog for reach.

some concept designs for an Oc, that I later scrapped but am still proud of!

That’s it that’s the post hehe

It’s like this video was tailor made to cater to my interests specifically.

i can't even caption this clip from jimmy's video rn. why can he not be normal. why are all of joel and etho's friends borderline shipping them. why aren't They normal. I'm DONE
