Self taught SFW artist but still going to make this a 16+ acc 21y/o Multifandom Currently can’t stfu about SMG4 or SMG34 DO NOT REPOST WITHOUT PERMISSION PLS & THANK YOU!
I’m really surprised how I haven’t seen anyone do this, so I’ve decided to do it myself >:3
It took me forever to finish this because for some reason I decided to try-hard this. Even though it was supposed to be just a sketch to give myself an idea of how I wanted SMG 4 & 3 to look like, I ended up putting a lot of details on it xD
Eat these refs I did of the gays for this AU, even tho in the story they won’t be dating or anything, I just ship them because I’m focking ill about these two goobers and I need to be put down lmao.
It can still be tagged as SMG34 but there won’t be anything romantic or anything building up to them dating on the story, sorry :”)
so technically if this is scheduled the correct time, ya'll should be recovering from watching the new and last smg4 episode... so... ummMMM surpriSEEEE :)))))) hi
after over a year, it is FINALLY here. the next part of lipbite... AND MY GOD WAS THIS A ROLLERCOASTER. i can finally start my long ass sappy message and silly rant of this damn part/chapter's journey <3
30 pages.... my fucking god wtf is wrong with me /silly
can i least get a cheeseburger... anyone... 🥀🍔 /hj
so first and foremost, i want to thank smg4. i have only been within this community/into the show for just only a year and i wouldn't be exaggerating to say how much this show impacted me mentally and emotionally. without this show, i wouldn't have created this comic (practicing + experimenting more of my comic work and inspired to create more), my oc + story, meet any of the amazing folks here and folks i adore calling my friends i want to watch succeed and grow. i don't ever want to stop creating smg4 related content nor leave it, even with its "over". im so happy to have joined and so utterly grateful and immensely appreciative for what this show and community has given me. even tho i know folks may just like/know me for this silly gay comic, the support i've received has never been something i've ever experienced. i love everyone here and hope that everyone recovers soon and understand even if the show is over, it wont be in our hearts 💛🍔
read below for the FULL history/story + [long af btw]
for thoes who may not know (somehow) or are new, this part took at least 19 months total to be completed. from the unorganized planning, unsure/improvised scripting, lazy sketching, to holding it on hiatus to focus on my last year of college, to then REDOING this part due to 70% of the progress i had made was mysteriously deleted and lost entirely. either due to a clean out or glitch, i was unable to recover it. that loss broke me down, though only for just a bit, i didn't want to stop and give up especially since i genuinely wanted to continue this project. for myself, friends, and fans of this silly community. so instead of redrawing what i have lost, i decided to began a new. revoking the progress i had made.
so after me finally graduating and having my deserved rest, i began planning again and instead of redrawing the scrapped sketches i had saved, i decided to rewrite the script and restart the comic from scratch with a better plan than i had previously. by this point, i had made 2 big comic projects during my senior year that lead me to having a more better mindset and understanding formatting this comic to be narratively better. focusing on story, purpose, and plots vs than the generic "men making out clout comic" (we'll get there but story first lol <3).
i am a comic artist and using this series as a practice and experimental stage of my journey has been genuinely inspiring to me. even with the physical copies of i have of the previous parts makes me want to keep making and i honestly just have a big passion for comics that i cant see myself just not makin em or quiting.
though with just that motto, i dealt with a lot of hurdles throughout this summer by completing a lot of own artwork from contests, doing an illustrative only project while suffering a long-term stomach parasite (LIKE REALLY LONG TERM im still experiencing side effects after almost 5 months), managing my own mental health and insecurities, doing job searches and figuring out what i wanna do for a beginner job-wise (doesn't help the american job system is the lowest its been), and small miscellaneous issues like more abrupt sickness, family issues, and hell even driving etc. too much shit leave me alone /j silly
butt what made me REALLY want to finish this part/chapter, was hearing the show was ending. even though im an emotionally numb guy usually, im still heartbroken that its happening but very appreciated and grateful from what the show gifted me. a loving supportive community AND friends i love so very much <3. and right as im told i'll be headed out for vacation until before my bday i knew that NOW was the time to for once lock in on this project. making small progress here and there during november, until i locked in around dec 12-14 to get the rest of 15 pages + ALL coloring done before dec 23, because thats the day i was gonna leave.
ngl i had a lot of doubt unsure if i was gonna get the rest of 15 pages done before i had to leave, but as i mentioned from my senior year comics, i was able to make 20 clean pages for my final in 2-3 weeks due to procrastination and self-doubt. despite its sad to say, i do get a lot of doubt while making a project, esp my comics. "is it good enough? are there spelling errors? does it make sense? will people like this? will i like this?" its obviously inevitable, and you bet i had the most of that doubt within the 19 months of this specific part prolonging in the back of my head.
yet even though some folks may not like this part or didn't meet their expectations, or too different from what they remembered from the first preview, i like this comic. i like this part. i have very minimal issues with this, and it would just be an added bonus if people like it just as much as i do. i don't ever like having expectations esp when it comes to people viewing my art and work other than: "pretty cool man." that alone, makes me happy.
i sincerely do want to provide a semi-formal apology of my incredible late absence and unexpected delays with this part/chapter. it was no way my intention to cause a long wait nor attempt to forget about it and move on. this comic truthfully is the reason why im actually a more happier person from the benefit of meeting such amazing people. and i want to continue giving my thanks as i continue this "lipbite" project.
until the next part, hopefully not in another year lol, thank you, and i hope folks enjoyed reading this next chapter and that it was worth the wait. thanks ya'll i love and appreciate your continuous support 💛 /gen
now go cleanse your brain with burgers or smth idfk why are you still reading this gET OUT!!! SSAVE URSELF!!! /HEAVY J SILLY
I was doing a DnD Beyond portrait and at first I had the intentions to leave it at flat color but then motivation kicked in and started experimenting with my art style a little and ngl I feel proud of how it turned out XD
I still have no word to express how I'm feeling about the end of SMG4, the fact I'm here commemorating it is still so upsetting to me, but I wanted to show my appreciation for this series despite my sadness.
Thank you SMG4 for all the amazing memories over the years, the countless hours of fun and joy you've brought me can never be forgotten, and I will treasure every moment I've had with this series near and dear to my heart.
I wish you and the team all the best for the future, thank you again for all the adventures <3
Made me shed tears and may feel off for a while but I will always stay grateful for all the amazing memories this channel has made ever since childhood.
It’s funny to think that when I was a kid, I used to think like Mario that things were never gonna end. However, eventually as time went on, I realized that eventually the stuff that you enjoy and love, have to go and reach its end.
It’s hard to accept? Yes, but did I at least enjoy the ride? Also yes.
Now, does this mean that we gotta stop making fanart and AUs of SMG4? No, it feels odd since the show reached its conclusion, yes, however there a lot of things open for interpretation.
Many might have already knew this but there’s still some that may not feel the same way. Not saying that “it’s not ok to feel demotivated since the show ended” just wanted to say that you don’t have to stop creating stuff of SMG4.
Apologies for the long ass essay, just felt like getting stuff out of chest and reflect a little. Never been good with words but this was the best I could write from the bottom of my heart.
Read Prologue from the story Climbing with You by Chuck_Norzuisa (Chycoin) with 1 reads. smg3, mario, eggdog. It's a p...
Hey guys, I’m happy to inform that I finally posted the prologue for “Climbing with You”
I posted this yesterday but it was already late to announce, so yeah.
I hope you guys enjoy this fic. Also, I recommend watching a playthrough of Celeste to understand some of the events that are going to take place in the story.
Ok so I just saw Smg4’s twitter, literally revived from my hiatus to do this post even and tbh I already had a feeling that this was going to happen.
Legit it was hinted with the same Smg4 having no ideas for future videos but now that it's been confirmed, I wanna say that it's been an honor watching his content almost from the start to the very end. Made me laugh and made my day when I was at my lowest and especially during these past 2 years.
I do say, it still made me sad that the feeling deep in my gut and probably in everyone’s gut was confirmed to be the case but now, all we can do is say thank you to the person who marked our childhood and that he keeps climbing mountains.
I can't wait to see the grand finale either good or bad but got my hopes that it will be worth the wait.
