HERMIT A DAY MAY - DAY 7

Mumbo Jumbo x Don't Starve

A drawing of Minecraft youtuber Mumbo Jumbo in the style of the game Don't Starve. Mumbo is talking to someone and holding a finger up, as if explaining something. His mustache is massive and he is standing in front of what looks like a full moon. The name Mumbo Jumbo is above his head in a spooky looking font.

I drew Mumbo Jumbo in the style of the spooky, open-world survival game Don't Starve!

I chose this one for Mumbo because he reminds me of the default protagonist of the game, Wilson, who is a gentleman inventor that creates fantastical science and alchemy machines.

I also just thought he would look great as a Don't Starve character. And I was right, he looks fantastic! This was one of the most satisfying pieces I've done so far because he just fits the style so naturally.

To learn more about Don't Starve and see my style references, please continue below the cut!

Don't Starve is a spooky, yet cute, rogue-like survival game that takes place in a randomly generated open world.

You play as a character that has been dropped into an unforgiving other world. Your goal is to survive and, when you enter story mode, try to find and defeat the entity that has trapped you there.

The game is very difficult as you only have one life to gather supplies, build tools, and try and live as long as possible. Nearly everything tries to kill you, and you have to also monitor your sanity, hunger, and environmental conditions, which can also kill you. When you play this game you will die many, many times, but it is always fun to restart and figure out ways to survive more successfully the next time.

The style of the game is heavily inspired by Tim Burton and the gameplay itself is fairly reminiscent of Minecraft on hardcore mode. The world of Don't Starve is strange and at times a little unsettling, but also full of funny moments. Overall, the game is a delight to explore, just expect to die a lot. And anyway, there are always mods (lots of mods) if you want to make the game a little more forgiving.

Style references:

Two player characters from Don't Starve are running from something. On the left is Wilson, the default protagonist, and on the right is Willow, who is awesome because she gets a stat buff when she lights things on fire. Behind these two characters is what appears to be a stylized full moon.

The style is very sketch-like with lots of points and spirals. The palette is muted with most (though not all) player characters being primarily red, white, and black (like Mumbo).

Two characters are in a dull yellow green field. One, Wilson, is lying on the ground, seemingly unconscious and the other, Maxwell, is standing. Both characters are wearing nice suits, though Wilson is missing a jacket. Maxwell is saying ''You'd better find something to eat'' and is holding a cigar.

I made Mumbo a little taller than the average Don't Starve character since I imagine him as very tall in Minecraft. There is precedent for this in-game since the guy that brings you to the other world, Maxwell, is very tall.

The words ''Don't Starve'' written in a spooky font that looks like it has been written with scratches. The font is white and the background of the image is a dull light blue with a sketched cloud pattern.

The Don't Starve title font. I downloaded a font called October Crow to make the title for this piece, so it isn't exact, but I think it looks really close.

I honestly wouldn't be surprised if someone has already made a mod where you can play as Mumbo Jumbo in Don't Starve if not I think someone should get on that ngl All the Don't Starve player characters have names that start with w so you could name him Wumbo Jumbo mumbo jumbo hermitaday hermitcraft
