These Guys. (From Falcon Earring’s Boat Boys Zombie Apocalypse Au)

I was doodling to mess around with different designs I have for different hermits, and I had a thought: what if bdubs’s giant anime eyes are actually because he has terrible vision and wears really thick glasses? So I tried to draw that, and then for some reason I added braces, because idk gender-neutral-man, it just felt right. And now he looks. Actually adorable.

I don’t even know if I’m gonna keep this as my design, but he’s just such a cutie, and I get such joy from looking at him, that I felt the need to share.

also thank you to everyone interacting with my real life smp Cleo fanart that is literally my favorite thing I’ve ever drawn so it makes me so happy every time I see it pop up in my notifs. (Special thanks to bluet for the really nice tags, I was having a rough day and so I literally sobbed at that like one of my friends saw my art! lol)

edit: btw the little scribble in the background says “something you can sue, however, is Docm77” and that is an official Bdubs quote from season X that you can take to the bank! I just scribbled it down for unclear reasons and forgot to erase it before posting lol

I am losing MY MIND from this interaction.

The fact that Joel still tries. He still tries to mend things. The fact that Tango kills him twice and all he has to say is the words of respect and encouragement. That he patches holes in his car, his HOME. That he welcomes Etho, that he will be with Gem until the end. The way he tries to survive his series on green, to be peaceful. HE TRIES SO HARD TO MEND IT. HE WAS IN EVERY SEASON. WORSE. HE KNOWS HOW ABSOLUTELY HOPELESS THEY ARE SOMETIMES. HE WAS THE PITIFUL ONE. IN THIRD LIFE HE BURNED. HE HAD THE SADDEST TIMES IN LAST LIFE. HE AND ETHO HAD THE MOST DRAMATIC STORY AFTER DIVORCE QUARTET IN DOUBLE LIFE. HE IS THE ONE WHO KEEPS DYING TO SCOTT, HE MAKES STUPID DECISIONS, HE MAKES ENEMIES.

But he still tries. He still has hope that if he just fix it one more time it will stay there if he looks away.

The Great HC-TCG Tournament Finale of Season 9

1/2 of a collaborative work betweeen @shirahoshiumi and myself for the Event Section of @hermitseasonzine !

[ notes + commentary undercut ]

This work is a two parter dedicated to the beginning of Hermitcraft TCG by VintageBeef. In this one - I drew the background and Hoshi drew the hermits of the SECOND HALF to this series so be sure to check our other piece FIRST!

[due to size limitations - this is also a compressed version. You can find the full clearer piece in the zine itself]

An slight in-depth breakdown into some of the design decisions when translating Cub's TCG arena from minecraft to proper architecture for our composition!

Drawing the UI of all the screen would be one of the last things added to the bg. While most of the hermit profiles I did to follow Hoshi's designs, designs of other artists and hermits you can find throughout the zine.

Season 9 was my first exposure to Hermitcraft and to be able to see it through to the end not to mention be a part of a such a beautiful tribute to the season I am grateful. BIIIG honours to have worked on two fantastic pieces with Hoshi, huge shoutout to the other contributors, and many thanks to the mod team for making sure everything stays running ^_^

new animatic out now \o/

bad guy skizzleman…

Good job Joel

No time to explain!!

grumbo is the gay penguins in the zoo

This would be a lot but is it possible we could do both the eras tour and do you want to tell a story?

First of all, I’m cracking up at the fact that people are using the silly names I came up for the different genres of zine, thank you. To people who are confused, anon is referring to this poll. To answer your question: I was actually just thinking about this! My plan is basically, given that currently the overwhelming majority of people want to do eras tour, that’s probably going to be the winning one, but, if too many people apply (and I’m still figuring out exactly what counts as too many, but the general idea is : more than the number of smp/worlds that Joel has done to art/write about, but that also depends on who wants to do what and a million other things and honestly it might come down to just looking at a number and then evaluating how much anxiety I feel about modding that many people) then rather than telling people no, we can have people who maybe are less interested in doing a piece based on canon work together to make a story! I’ve been doing some brainstorming on how things can work and how to make this zine the best possible experience for as many people as possible, so here is a vague plan for how things will work:

This next part is extremely important zine info!! Please read it!! I’m looking at you, person about to scroll past!! Read!!

-once we know how many people are going to be participating and who those people will be, we’ll try to get everyone together on a discord server so that I can contact everyone with ease. If you don’t have discord and can’t get it for whatever reason, we’ll do our best to allow you to still participate, but you may have less of a say on what sort of piece you’ll be doing. -From there, hopefully with the help of other mods, I’ll send out like a million bajillion polls (important note: I don’t know how discord works. Everything will be chaotic) to figure out what everyone wants to do, how much structure they want for their pieces, if they want to do something more collaborative or individual, etc, etc.

-Then, me and the other mods will get together and try to figure out a game plan for how everything is going to work. This zine is likely going to be very different from other zines people may have done in the past, because I’m hoping that we go in less with a specific vision of what the end product is going to look like and then assign everyone part of it to make, but rather we go in with just the plan of “let’s create something fun and interesting about this shared interest of ours” and the end result will be a chaotic but passionately made scrapbook of art and writing dedicated to this weird little guy on the internet who makes us laugh and smile and inspires us to create. I’m being very vague, so here’s an example of how I’m kinda envisioning the process to work:

okay, we have X amount of people, and Y amount of them want to do a Joel eras tour zine. A bunch of people want to do a piece for this one thing, and none of them said they were against working with others and many said they were for it, so we’ll offer them the option of doing a scarland-artbook style collaboration on this one thing. The remaining eras people mostly said that they weren’t really interested in collabing with anyone, and we’re not seeing any major conflicts on who wants to do what, so they should be set. Z amount of the people remaining want to work on a story together, and many of them expressed that they had an idea for what to write/draw, so we’ll work with them to figure out the general plot, and make sure that it still stays connected to Joel. There are a few people who don’t really know what they want to work on, or would like to know the options before making a decision, so we’ll work with them to find something their interested in contributing to.

Then we’ll have a mod to monitor each group to help them stay on track within the scope of the zine, and it is my hope that things should be very collaborative for those who are interested in that and open to that, and that its an enjoyable experience and an opportunity to meet other people interested in the same thing.

this doesn’t mean that 100% we’ll be able to do both, but (and this is a little bit personal bias cause I’m definitely most interested in do you want to tell a story) if enough people there are interested in that, then we’ll do our best to make it happen!

btw we are a hollow knight charm now

Just so you all know how cool I am

some fanart of a certain Etho of slab. I tried something a dit different from my usual style but I think it turned out well

I went considerably lighter on the outlines than I usually might have, and I am undecided about if I like it or not. Here’s the version with a full opacity outline

I dunno, but either way I’m pretty proud of how it came out int the end!
