Ghost

I cry and draw

[ghostcantsleep]

Watching all the artists getting ready for artfight is giving me fomo

[swiggle4]

guess who my favorite character is (you’ll never figure it out)

[amebeemakin]

Though not technically something that happened in the fic, the vibes between JD and Hickory were too good not to draw this. Check out @rydoesartandstuff ‘s fic Great Decisions, currently everything is hitting the fan in slow motion, drawing stuff like this is how I cope 🥲

[ghostcantsleep]

I’m bored so here’s reasons I believe I’d survive getting stuck in the amazing digital circus.

1. I adapt fast to situations especially when there’s already an established routine

2. I already larp irl

(And my two strongest reasons)

3. I’ve been stuck in a cult for 20 years, so I’m already used to the thought of there being no escape and I feel like that’s some verification I’d be okay

4. I wouldn’t have to hide that I’m gay

No idea how accurate this'll be for @rydoesartandstuff 's "Great Decisions", but I LOVE the idea of Bruce having a 'you are NOT the victim' moment with JD, or even 'what about how much I suffered?'. spent all these years holding a grudge against someone that no longer exists, what's he supposed to do with these feelings? The face and voice that used to fight back, isn't. and that freaks him out. as branch said, 'a stranger you happen to share blood with'

it probably won't go like that at all, but I liked drawing JD's expression here a lot anyway so ill be doing that more

[rydoesartandstuff]

Ooooo such an interesting concept! And the art is IMMACULATE! Gosh it's epic, and I love the vibe, and you know, a younger Bruce might've yelled at him like this, even the Bruce we've spent most of the movie with might've.

But the Bruce after these next few chapters likely won't. (Oooooo)

I don't want to say much else, but I do like the way you think! And JD's expression looks EPIC!

[ghostcantsleep]

Interesting… interesting.

So I propose a JD who’s expecting his brother’s to yell at him but instead they’re surprisingly calm and even nice because he’s so unrecognizable from who he once was, and is so visibly unwell they don’t have it in them to be mad (yet). And it freaks JD out because he doesn’t recognize them either.

[uncoordinatedunity]

fan art for @rydoesartandstuff 's "Great Decisions" au, except this hasn't happened in the fic

I just thin the idea of JD returning home and being blitzed out of his mind on meds would more than likely make him freak out, but consider an alternate universe where he isn't mentally unstable and instead lets feelings out

I think that'd be real funny. anyway bonus:

Some of the takes and reactions to Gameoverse are just sounding like misogyny to me

I HOPE EVERY LESBIAN HAS A GREAT DAY

The art here is rushed, but I’m happy of how it looks so far. I know i just started & I think the whole situation has died down but I’m really having fun doing this. So I might keep going until I burn out honestly.

Doc! Hickory hurt his leg!

What in the world- How did this happen?

I don't know some guy didn't stand still enough for Hickory to kick him. The nerve.

Love this fic!! So much! I turn it over in my mind daily. I pay *it* to live in my head-

Go read it. You will thank me

Anyway about the actual art, it's a bit messy but when is my art not. I'm trying to mess with how to draw Trolls in general but also these two goofballs. I think I might make Hickory a bit more beefy later as he is in the authors illustration but we will see!

Mostly I just wanted to draw the two because I miss them T^T and I needed more of John Dory being oblivious lol. Then I started thinking about how JD just picks people up sometimes and I was like how would he pick up Hickory? And I was like, like he would a critter so here we are-

[rydoesartandstuff]

“Growl, snarl even” is SENDING ME RN😂😂😂

JD is 100% thr type to become overly protective to anyone injured/sick, even if mild, and Hickory is no exception!!! I love this, I needed this, Oblivious JD and Smitten Hickory my beloved…

Trust me, we will eventually get some good ol JD and Hickory healing time… Eventually. One of my friends keeps asking when JD and Hickory will have their “Go to the Cottage” moment (Heated Rivalry style)😂

But this art is beautiful, I’m currently gnawing on it like a deranged beast, BLESS, I love everything about them!!!

Also him just scooping Hickory is EVERYTHING TO ME

[ghostcantsleep]

So when are they getting their “go to the cottage” moment Ry?

[rydoesartandstuff]

Well, according to the “Heated Rivalry” rules… Someone has to end up in a hospital first, right?

[ghostcantsleep]

Oh… I’m clawing at the walls of my enclosure

I’ve never felt something so out of my control i’m about to backflip off a building

[jaess-jinx]

@rydoesartandstuff I want to draw Clay and Viva so badly but I felt Hickory deserves to be the first watercolor painting I've made ❤️‍🩹

My boy I love him so much
