axer outgrows an alice in wonderland costume filling a room as kami crawls out from underneath them. the reflection is shown in the mirror on the ceiling.

Alice costume

i was sitting next to kami when i had this on my screen and they blurted out "oh that was thom?? i've known thom all along!"

I told Kami "haha wouldn't it be funny if i put a mirror on the ceiling to fill the space more" and Kami just looked at me and I knew i had to do it now

axer and kami run and jump into a fall leaf pile cuz it is autumn which is clearly the best time of year

autumn, fuck yeah

yup! S'why a lot of why you don't see folks saying it as a method. It becomes a 'don't let your dreams stay dreams' scenario- easily said by people privileged enough to be able to make it work.
The amount of sacrifice I have had to make to become just less reliant on art for money has been nuts.

best time of year hands down

Axer and Kami snuggling on a fluff lined plaid blanket near some bushes and an old stump with K+A carved into a jagged into heart on it's surface. A carved pumpkin with candles rests at their feet as little white moths flutter overhead.

Comfort in the fall time

That is because one of the biggest ways to do it is to decouple art from your source of income

kami and axer sit on a wooden spiral stair platform amongst fall leaves and pumpkins. their feet have ripped out of their sneakers

Hangin' out

something that glows, something that grows

yknow how it is

axer and kami sit with their feet out in forced perspective in front of boxes and barrels and bottles from their potion shop in the fall time.

fall time at the potion shop

every once in a while someone takes issue with it but more ppl don't notice there aren't five, honestly haha so i count it as a win
i just use 4 since they are characters as a stylistic choice

i like fisheye and forced perspective ,what can i say

kami rests on a blanket in the backroom of the alchemy shop as axer sits over him. They converse in the dim light of candles and a lantern, surrounded by pumpkins and the soft glow of the cold light from upstairs.

it's cozy fall finally

haha big nipples are ok, but gotta cover them feet up y'all

two rubberhose style old-timey dorks sip cocoa from large mugs with their initials on them amongst a ridiculous oversized pile of jack-o-lanterns amongst the fall trees

oh shit it's gettin' spooky around here

I drew it all by hand (digitally). I do stuffl ike this a lot so it isn't as involved as it looks. It is uneven if you look closely, haha, but I like that because it makes it feel less robotic.
For the colours, yes! I selected each directional face for its own layer then cleaned it up after

I sketch the perspective guidelines when i doodle the layout. Then when i draw the thing I tighten the perspective grid i drew. It's just normal perspective but there is a progressive curve on all the lines to make it appear more dynamic

also playing the nostalgia memberberries thing by way of an AI video is double gross

thank you!

Lineart of luigi with raccoon ears and a tail stands on blocks in the first fortress of world 1 in super mario brothers 3. He is surrounded by lava and looking ahead at a dry bones past a podoboo. The perspective is a fisheye.

luigi stands in fortress level 1-3 from super mario brothers 3. podoboos jump around him and a flying disc circles as he considers his precarious situation on the blocks above a sea of lava. Dry bones walks in the farther area below a ? block. you can totally get a warp whistle if you fly up above that area, ever see The Wizard? it was a commercial for nintendo but it gave US audiences the first taste of smb3 gameplay and this area was featured.

Luigi fortress
sketch and final
