Draw This In Your Style Challenge - What's Mr. Joy Made Today?!

Draw This in Your Style challenge - What's Mr. Joy Made Today?!

We're currently hosting a DTIYS challenge- with a twist.

If you accept the challenge, you get to draw the local neighbourhood Definitely Human (cough) ice cream man, Mr. Joy! He's something straight of the 1950s, and his ice cream is to Die for. But, despite that, he has this odd, insatiable hunger... and your people food just ain't gonna cut it.

💎 Deadline: January 15th

1st prize will be a bust-shot piece akin to the DTIYS image.⁣

2nd prize is a lined sketch piece (if we get to 10 entries, it'll be coloured).

⚠️ Rules

Please post to the #OtherbuttonsDTIYS tag, and @ us. is DM us the entry with what's in the Ice Cream.

You have to draw both Joy and the Ice Cream. If you really can't think of a flavour, feel free to use the examples listed. You're also welcome to change the pose, background, make it creepier, etc. Just gotta be Joy and his Ice Cream.

the Ice Cream must be Non-Food based in flavour, and generally look inconspicuous. Sweet-based toppings are fine. Outside of meats, Mr Joy has a visceral reaction to savoury-salty based foods & condiments, so those are big no-gos.

🍦  Fun Joy Details

Joy has too much of one thing, and too little of the others: Four extra teeth, two on each side of his mouth near the back. The ring finger on his left hand is missing, having been cut cleanly from its base; the fourth toe on his left foot is also cut cleanly off. It's fine though; he still has ten toes (his right foot has six).

Joy always seems a little... melty, in the sunlight. Not too much, just in the droops of his wrinkles and such. And usually around the cold of freezers, his cheeks and nose are often a-blush; although... they're a-blush even in the warmth, too. If you'd like to know more about Joy, or get more inspiration, his bio is linked in our bio!

Have some mildly menacing Oompa Loompa for an upcoming mental health Q&A video.

Life’s lonely in Los Santos-- but it doesn’t have to be.

A fun mockup of our GTARP characters, should they have been in a Visual Novel instead. All three would be dating options, well, sort of...

-- Choose your route:

the Anxious Therapist (plus his DID system)

the Nonbinary Pirate Entrepreneur (plus her twin)

the Definitely Human Ice Cream Man (plus trauma)

When the two remaining Pokémon in a Soul Link run are a Drifblim and an under-leveled Kakuna, the Drifblim kinda carries the team...

theAtomicBear and MacandJak streamed a Soul Nuzlocke; two of the Pokémon were named after our Alters-- Miss & Mr Kensington. As every Pokémon died around them, Miss Kensington absolutely obliterated everything she touched. Mr K, not so much.~

DID introjects, not fanart ▸ reblogs are fine

Some sketches of our Mike & his mother, Dolly.

These two are a great example of the healing that's finally been happening within the Factory Cluster, and it warms my heart to see. Dolly- Mrs. Teavee, sourced from the musical- unfortunately lost her son in the tour; she's been so scared of the whole factory, that besides one or two outer-factory trips, she's refused to leave her room for years.

So when Mike- sourced from the first movie, but fused with the second- reawoke, now a young adult, she was quite nervous. She didn't want to see him because it hurt too much at it not being her Mike. But he sort of persisted in that mischievous way he does, and barriers were broken, and she adopted him as her own son because it felt right. It was a form of acceptance for the mind to heal.

Dolly used to refuse to even talk about her son, but I'm allowed to say all this here because she's personally spoken about the whole thing on stream, which is... something we didn't think would ever happen. She's healed a lot, and she's helped Mike a lot with his own anxiety around the Factory. Sadly she still won't leave her room, but it's small steps.

You know, since there’s an active fandom these days, I’ll reupload this:

Factory Rejects: pg 1 & 2 a post-tour WWatCF comic concept

We made these back in... 2014 I think? It was planned to be based around the psychological effects of the factory on the ticket winners, plus the recovery and eventual friendship between some very troubled kids. Because let’s be real: Willy Wonka was the antagonist.

We decided to take them down after we realised the story was partially mirroring our DID System’s introjects of said characters, and also after a particular subset of the fandom began to discover the comic.

There was one other comic page, which we might post another time.
