I am finishing a series of portraits

[gertie488]

Hii!! i love your art its soooo pretty, I was wondering if you take commission? :)

Hi! Yes, I do commissions. I've decided to set the price at $50 per portrait. I'll check with a friend about the payment method, as I need an intermediary to accept payments from other countries.

I'll give you a deadline depending on the complexity, but I don't think it'll be more than a week. I also usually attach a speedpaint.

Jeff moment

«What would you do if we were free?»

I remember summer camp- three years ago, scorching heat and cold wind by the broad lake.

Had this landscape in my mind for a long time. It took me a lot of tries to really look like what I imagined. Had to draw a sandy shore instead of rocks cause they looked weird and kept mixing with his jeans…

The whole idea for the art came from a fic I read a while ago. I think it was called “camp day pyre” or smt.. It really fed a lot of my ideas. I had a head canon that toby would live in a cabin in the woods (well not exactly live but mostly stay in it for a night or two) and often go out to the lake to fish w strangers. He’d pretend to be out with his friends hiking or camping until they’d notice his uhhhh… appearance. And then things would get messy. That’s it.

Also here’s a few sketches I made while gathering the image in my mind :D. Thought toebee would be the typa guy to wrap his torn shoes in tape so they won’t fall apart completely

Earlier landscape version I didn’t want to upload separately. For some reason the whole drawing pisses me off whenever I look at it.. maybe it’s the perspective… no idea.

No text version.

Hope my english ain’t too bad haha. Sorry if I might sound too clunky.

How did you first become drawn to Jeff?

Hi! Actually, Jeff has been my favorite character since childhood, and I've drawn him a lot — especially over the past year. This past year I've been experimenting a lot with digital art, and I only recently found my own style, so so far I've only posted one piece.

Hi everyone, this is my first post on Tumblr.

I’m an artist who goes by Gertie, and I want to share my creepypasta art and thoughts about the characters here. Standard disclaimer.

***

Jeff Woods’ backstory has a lot of plot holes. The original is pretty bad — it never explains where his violent urges first came from or how his parents influenced them. It just makes him look like a selfish jerk who suddenly decided he could do whatever he wanted. And yeah, that’s partly true.

But at the same time, it’s really about a slow breakdown of his personality starting from childhood. So by the time the climax hits, his mind just couldn’t take it anymore — or maybe that was just the final trigger.

The worst part is how they make him out to be narcissistic, just because of that line “I’m beautiful.” Barely anyone stops to think that it might’ve been more like a breakdown.

There’s the canon with Hodek, and there are rewritten versions of Jeff Woods’ story — some of which are even on YouTube as audiobooks. Those versions might offer more solid explanations for his looks and personality. Maybe that’s enough for some people.

But here, I’d like to share my own interpretation and version of him. I’m not saying my take is the one and only truth — this is all for fun and imagination.

If any of this interests you, I’d genuinely love to know. I’m always open to you. And just remember: the things I say about these characters don’t reflect who I am as a person. My actual attitude toward people and life is completely different.

Love you 🫂
