I don't remember drawing this #isometric #pixelart #clown but I do remember being compelled by the vision.

What if #pixelart fish had legs, what if they could walk

Ha, told you it's a classic 😂

I take it you've not seen the 2022 TV series? It's like a longer, alternate universe version of more of the same - it /technically/ reuses the cast and premise, but also... really not quite?
Still, nothing could beat the original for me 😌

Really putting the 'husband' in Roy-husband with this one 😂💍

Aw, thank you! Right you are 😎

Oh, Don't Hug Me I'm Scared is a YouTube horror-comedy classic! It might not be for everyone, but I simply adore it 🥰 It's got puppets!

It really is a nice hat 😊🌈

Despite the inherent whimsy of a propeller hat, Roy remains unamused.

Check out Roy's #pixelart heart sticker, isn't it cute?

For reasons not known even to myself, I made a #pixelart of Roy T-posing. Because really, why not. He's got the arms for it.

First Roy of 2026. Many more Roys to go. 😏💖
For the past few years, aside from 2025, I've challenged myself to draw daily for as long as I manage. 2025 was meant for rest but all it did is make me sad. Now it is time for me to return to form. <3

Merry Chirpmas!

Sweetheart staying dry ☔ or how I finally managed to finish a sketch I made in 2016.

Pixel art poster for Don't Hug Me I'm Scared. Roy Gribbleston is standing next to his son, Yellow Guy, and doing the finger gun with his right hand. Next to them are Duck Guy and Red Guy. Behind them are letters spelling out DHMIS, with each letter stylised after an episode of the web series, and each of the teachers (Sketchbook, Tony, Spinach Can, Shrignold, Colin, and Lamp Guy) peaking out from behind the letters. D has the pattern of the DHMIS 1 title screen, and the oil / black paint dripping inside of it. H has the outside scenery from DHMIS 2 and 3 patterned with pink love hearts across the sky. M has the digital world scenery. I has the kitchen / patterns resembling the members of the Healthy Band. S has the bedroom, dripping oil, Roy's long arm, and the checkerboard tile floor, and its bottom line loops back around to be in front of everyone.

2021 was another big piece, and despite several years passing I'm still quite proud of it. I mean, can you blame me? 😎

Pixel art poster for Don't Hug Me I'm Scared. Roy Gribbleston is standing with one hand on Yellow Guy's shoulder, and one holding a striped rainbow liquid in a wine glass. To his left is Red Guy looking happy / surprised, and to his right is Duck Guy looking dejected. Behind them are the words Don't Hug Me I'm Scared in colourful letters on a cyan background.

2023 was somewhat simple, but simple doesn't mean bad. It's the act of making something that matters. And what matters to me is Roy 🥰 y'know, in case that wasn't obvious.

Pixel art poster for Don't Hug Me I'm Scared. The image is divided into two mirrored halves by an open calendar displaying June 19 / June 20. The top half shows Duck Guy, Yellow Guy and Roy, and Red Guy standing together. Roy's hands are on Yellow Guy's shoulders, and Red Guy is standing with his arms crossed. Behind them are the colours red, blue, and green. At the bottom is an upside down version of the same image, but the trio and Roy are in their June 20th colours / outfits. Behind them are the colours green, red, and yellow.

Pixel art poster for Don't Hug Me I'm Scared. Roy Gribbleston is standing inside of a stripled light teal oval shape, surrounded by a vertically mirrored image of the trio. To his right are the regular trio: Red Guy, Duck Guy, and Yellow Guy, while to his left are the June 20th colour-swapped trio. Behind them is a rainbow with DHMIS written above it in matching rainbow colours.

Pixel art poster for Don't Hug Me I'm Scared. The image is divided into two mirrored June 19th / June 20th halves. The top half has the trio and Roy in their regular June 19th looks, with the words HAPPY 19TH JUNE written behind them. The bottom half has the trio and Roy in their colour-swapped June 20th looks, with the words HAPPY 20TH JUNE written behind them. In the middle between them is a curved white space with DHMIS written on it in colourful letters. The background behind them is a white and purple-gradient checkerboard.

The 2019 / 2020 / 2024 pieces were all attempts at the same formula. Needless to say, I love a good mirrored / upside down image. Especially when it's the June 19th / June 20th bunch! 💚❤️💛💙❤️💚

And how about the piece from 2018? It was by this point that I've decided I want to do this annually. And hey! I still am.

#PixelArt #DHMIS #DontHugMeImScared #RoyGribbleston #Fanart #June19

A crudely drawn digital image of the Don't Hug Me I'm Scared trio (Red Guy, Yellow Guy, and Duck Guy) and Roy Gribbleston on a pale yellow background. Roy is standing behind Yellow Guy, and is blending into the background. The words DON'T HUG ME I'M SCARED are written above them.

A digital image of the Don't Hug Me I'm Scared trio (Red Guy, Yellow Guy, and Duck Guy) and Roy Gribbleston on a background resembling the checkerboard floor room from DHMIS 6. Roy is standing behind Yellow Guy, with his hands on Yellow Guy's shoulders. All four are looking directly towards the viewer. The words Don't Hug Me I'm Scared are written above them.

While we're on the topic of June 19th, here's a piece from 2017, redrawn again in 2022 - so much has changed over those 5 years, and yet it's almost like nothing's changed at all.

#DigitalArt #DHMIS #DontHugMeImScared #RoyGribbleston #Fanart #June19

Pixel art poster for Don't Hug Me I'm Scared. At the top is Roy Gribbleston holding a hexagonal shape, inside of which are the teachers: Sketchbook, Tony, Shrignold, Colin, Spinach Can, and Lamp Guy. The background resembles the title card of DHMIS 1. At the bottom are the trio: Duck Guy, Yellow Guy, and Red Guy, standing upside down on the black and white checkerboard path, which divides the image horizontally. The background behind them resembles the night sky from the conveyor belt scene of DHMIS 2.

It's the day! It's the day! It's the day! Every year on June 19th I make a little celebratory piece for my favourite show of all time - here's what I made this year!
