give me motivation to finish my gem and joel drawing

I will draw them with you in solidarity (gaming. Sorry Jimmy ruined that word for me) ! !!!! !!!! Motivation!!! Rahhhh do the things score the points win the goals or whatever sports people say!! If you finish your lag duo drawing I will draw whatever you want forever that was already an option but like send in a request and it will go to the top of my to draw list but Only if you finish your drawing unless you don’t want to and that’s totally chill too and I will still probably draw anything for you and wow I’m terrible at this. Draw them! And I will too! If that helps!!

btw I’m still Really Normal about wild life Joel win

Also I have so many thoughts about card symbolism. The guy whose entire gimmick sounded like a very unsubtle mafia family won the casino themed death games lol. Also I maybe want to do a piece that’s a sort of sequel piece to this one because in hearts (real card game btw) the queen of spades is the worst card to have unless you are trying to shoot the moon. Which. Double life symbolism stuff hahahah I’m really normal about well all of this really I love all the life series.

I’m over here kicking my feet and giggling eeee thank you bluet I love you too!!!! <3 more hearts all the hearts ever this thank you so much!!!!! Ahhh! We must do more arts together!!!!!!!

@iandoubt !!!

I’m trying out a new brush and I am already sold.

I did a drawing of third life Martyn ‘cause he’s another one of my fav YouTubers. I tried doing a different style than my normal.

I’m posting it as is because that took too many hours to do just that bit for me to feel up to finishing it, but I think what I have turned out well!

CW: blood. Also he kinda looks like someone maced him in the eyes lol

Last life Joel one of my many beloveds (the other beloveds are every other Joel era). Unstable wizard man I miss you.

The song lyric is from Jeremy by Pearl Jam!! As soon as I have more time to art, I wanna make more pieces based on specific songs because ohoho do I have thoughts.

I started drawing this during the episode as soon as what the wild card did was revealed, you guys I was manifesting this so hard you have no idea.

It happened, ok? To me. In my heart of hearts.

This would be a lot but is it possible we could do both the eras tour and do you want to tell a story?

First of all, I’m cracking up at the fact that people are using the silly names I came up for the different genres of zine, thank you. To people who are confused, anon is referring to this poll. To answer your question: I was actually just thinking about this! My plan is basically, given that currently the overwhelming majority of people want to do eras tour, that’s probably going to be the winning one, but, if too many people apply (and I’m still figuring out exactly what counts as too many, but the general idea is : more than the number of smp/worlds that Joel has done to art/write about, but that also depends on who wants to do what and a million other things and honestly it might come down to just looking at a number and then evaluating how much anxiety I feel about modding that many people) then rather than telling people no, we can have people who maybe are less interested in doing a piece based on canon work together to make a story! I’ve been doing some brainstorming on how things can work and how to make this zine the best possible experience for as many people as possible, so here is a vague plan for how things will work:

This next part is extremely important zine info!! Please read it!! I’m looking at you, person about to scroll past!! Read!!

-once we know how many people are going to be participating and who those people will be, we’ll try to get everyone together on a discord server so that I can contact everyone with ease. If you don’t have discord and can’t get it for whatever reason, we’ll do our best to allow you to still participate, but you may have less of a say on what sort of piece you’ll be doing. -From there, hopefully with the help of other mods, I’ll send out like a million bajillion polls (important note: I don’t know how discord works. Everything will be chaotic) to figure out what everyone wants to do, how much structure they want for their pieces, if they want to do something more collaborative or individual, etc, etc.

-Then, me and the other mods will get together and try to figure out a game plan for how everything is going to work. This zine is likely going to be very different from other zines people may have done in the past, because I’m hoping that we go in less with a specific vision of what the end product is going to look like and then assign everyone part of it to make, but rather we go in with just the plan of “let’s create something fun and interesting about this shared interest of ours” and the end result will be a chaotic but passionately made scrapbook of art and writing dedicated to this weird little guy on the internet who makes us laugh and smile and inspires us to create. I’m being very vague, so here’s an example of how I’m kinda envisioning the process to work:

okay, we have X amount of people, and Y amount of them want to do a Joel eras tour zine. A bunch of people want to do a piece for this one thing, and none of them said they were against working with others and many said they were for it, so we’ll offer them the option of doing a scarland-artbook style collaboration on this one thing. The remaining eras people mostly said that they weren’t really interested in collabing with anyone, and we’re not seeing any major conflicts on who wants to do what, so they should be set. Z amount of the people remaining want to work on a story together, and many of them expressed that they had an idea for what to write/draw, so we’ll work with them to figure out the general plot, and make sure that it still stays connected to Joel. There are a few people who don’t really know what they want to work on, or would like to know the options before making a decision, so we’ll work with them to find something their interested in contributing to.

Then we’ll have a mod to monitor each group to help them stay on track within the scope of the zine, and it is my hope that things should be very collaborative for those who are interested in that and open to that, and that its an enjoyable experience and an opportunity to meet other people interested in the same thing.

this doesn’t mean that 100% we’ll be able to do both, but (and this is a little bit personal bias cause I’m definitely most interested in do you want to tell a story) if enough people there are interested in that, then we’ll do our best to make it happen!
