Shoutout To My Comfort Characters For Helping Me Through This Wild Year!

Shoutout to my comfort characters for helping me through this wild year!

Ramblings under the cut <3 

Please don’t tag with any incestuous ships!

Okay, first things first, apologies for how janky the colored line art is; I don’t do it often but I felt this piece needed some spicing up! This was drawn on my poor neglected iPad (known around the house as “The MaxiPad”) using MediBang, once again not something I do often! The reason I chose to use my iPad is cause I’m going to be getting a display tablet within a few days, gettin’ real tired of the hand/eye disconnect with my Wacom >:\ Oh, and I’ve changed my mind: I like Procreate more than iPad MediBang. It’s a close call but I can just manipulate my layers better in Procreate; couldn’t figure out how to do so in MediBang and I’m pretty savvy with complex art programs!

Now, some words on each of these fellas!

Dipper and Mabel: These two darlings remind me of my brother and I who are super close! They’re insanely cute and help me when I need some innocence in my life. I see myself a lot in both of them, but most people like to compare me to Mabel (my mom’s even started doing it). :D Sweater designs aren’t all that original but hey, cliches are cliches for a reason!

Bill Cipher: A total jerk who’s way too much fun to draw. Sometimes we all need a little chaos!

Yung Venuz and Yung Cuz: My go-to unfunny meme duo. These guys are probably more like favorite characters than comfort characters, I think they’re so much fun and they remind me of long game nights of Nuclear Throne with my little bro!

Stan and Ford: I could actually ramble about how much I love these two forever so I should probably leave it at that tbh. Apologies for more uncreative sweater designs OTL

Cosmo and Wanda: King and queen of my childhood! These two give me warm fuzzy feelings every time I see them, they remind me of a simpler time. <3 I think that having a positive romantic relationship to latch onto has helped me in getting through the separation of my parents, as well. They’re just so cute!

Isaac and Azazel: Little crying children are very fun to draw. Okay, that came out wrong, but you get the point. I started playing the Binding of Isaac in 2015 and ever since then it’s been probably my #1 favorite game, period. These two are my favorites to play as and I doodle them a lot! My headcanons are likely more developed than most of my own characters, oops. REPENTANCE HYPE!!

Mario and Luigi: Okay, the actual kings of my childhood. I’ve recently latched on to the Mario series for one reason or another, I think part of it is nostalgia and part of it is the cheerful aesthetics. Super Mario Galaxy was the childhood favorite, and since then I’m proud to say that I’ve 200%’d it! It helps that their designs are super cute, as well; I totally wanna grab lunch with Mario, he seems like the nicest guy ever. Oh, blame @metrognome129 for Luigi’s sweater btw. If you get it, you get it. :)

Happy holidays to you all, I hope you’re having a swell quarantined Christmas! Hopefully next year we’ll get to run around like crazy again. :D I miss my American friends!

Rough painting for Silverloon on ToyHouse!! Went outside of my comfort zone for this one and I’m rather proud of it. :D First time doing graffiti!

Hello, world!

Almost forgot to upload abjdfhgb belated Art Fight revenge and just general thank you for my buddy @kaleidoprismatic !! <3 Slowly working past my fear of backgrounds. :p

Pine Tree | Speedpaint

Quick piece from November 2019! Posting now because I’m planning on continuing this format; Mabel is next and will be way more refined. :D

Variants and some extra insight under the cut!

“Been really inspired lately by those huge Waldo-esque pieces where you could spend hours looking at all the tiny details, and while this isn't totally on the level of those it was still a lot of work! Been trying some new rendering techniques and having a lot of fun with them, though they clearly still need some polish, lol. Not my best technique-wise but I think it's a lot of fun and I enjoy it a lot! I hope you like it, too. If you do, lemme know -- who's your favorite Dip? Will definitely be working on ones for the rest of the Pines! Perhaps all the symbols, even? Who knows?” ~ Original description

Blue variant

Blue w/ background (originally so I could use it as a phone wallpaper lol)

Gravity Falls meme dump because maybe someone out there shares my questionable sense of humor

I finally read Flat Dreams and I’m still coping
