(STRAWPAGE IS IN WIP!!) Hi I'm Homie and I like a lot of things but right now the Spy from TF2 is cool. Art I made on Deviantart will be reuploaded here as well as new stuff. I'm very much not used to Tumblr.
After seeing some other blogs, I suppose Tumblr following vs Deviantart following is a bit different, so maybe I should set up an intro post so that you know who you’re following!
Hi! I’m HomieGotU1275. This blog is for all my art, thoughts, and other stuff. I draw traditional and digital art for fun, although art school is a possibility in the future. I’m currently in highschool right now.
I like a lot of stuff so there’s no particular fandom on the blog. Most of the stuff posted is light hearted or jokey, but I also draw gore, and some of it is vent art. I’ll remember to censor the gore, but please be careful anyway if it does disturb you.
I’ve participated in Artfight for three years now! My user is HomieGotU7512. Ik it says two years, but I randomly decided to delete the first account for no reason. Quite stupid of me. Maybe I got embarrassed or something.
Current interest rotation: TF2, Among Us (Including the show), Tomodachi Life: Living the Dream…
If you ever have a problem with me or something of concern to bring up to me, please mention it. I’m trying not to overstep anyone boundaries or be annoying, but if I ever don’t catch something, let me know.
These are all my Artfight refs so far! I will still reupload art here but I have no motivation until the event finishes
Homie Hoffman
In comparison to last year, he is less… geometric? If you can call it that. His skin is laid out more on his bones. I made his chest and head slimmer and his jaw is not square. His colors are desaturated and reused more for the greater appeal. All my less cartoony human designs have five fingers now. His body is less goofy and his skinniness is shown better. I also made his olive skin less yellow and his gaze more dark. Here’s his old ref from 2025. Ew.
HGU/HomieGotU1275 (my persona)
This character is a new addition to my artfight roster, so I only have other drawings and irl sketches to compare it to. My aim here was to fix the inconsistency her limbs and head have. I planned on making a more realistic version but I haven’t yet been able to draw myself in that style (which is quite surprising considering I love to look in mirrors, and thus would know all my features). The hair is much longer and puffier than mine but I think it’s super fun. Here are some older digital pieces of him I have in my camera roll from 2025:
Tan (Among Us OC)
This OC was made completely last minute as my Among Us phase popped in after a semi-legal viewing of the new show. A gijinka based entirely on my play style and loadout, they’re an old fart with a wise sort of look. I wanted them to have majestic looking hair and eyes, with the latter having partial heterochromia. Tan’s outfit is an edited and built-upon version of the ingame cosmetics. The colors are duller and more re-used. I also wanted to experiment with bodyhair more, because I don’t draw my beautiful forearm foliage on the persona and I bet you Hoffman shaves his limbs once in a while. The head is a bit flat but whatever.
Tan follows the pattern thus far where all of my ocs have more nonbinary-leaning identities. In the case of Hoffman and my persona, it’s more like they are foggily labelled. Homie Hoffman was raised and born male and defaults to masc pronouns (although others are fine), but his gender identity now is more of a “I don’t care and you can call me what you want”. My persona, like me, is a cis woman, but that is more of a physical thing sorta. Online, I often confuse many people when I reveal myself to be a girl, and even after that point I enjoy and do not mind being called by other pronouns. So this gender identity is admittedly used as for an argument or trick standpoint (well not trick per se, but it’s fun to watch people be confused). What I mean in arguments is that phrase “as a woman, ___”. Both this persona and Hoffman have a relationship with their birth gender as a “loose meat on the bone” sort of way where their mothers still see them as their son/daughter, and perhaps in public systems that have unadjusted binary labellings, they would go with whatever society does with them. This Among Us oc is more straight forward. They are genderless, as the bean characters in that universe are referred to with they/them and are “all equally mediocre, formless, non-sexual beings who are very, very ugly”.
Oh and there’s supposed to be a Miku oc coming out based upon my halloween costume but I haven’t gotten to its ref yet and im already burnt out after starting my 2nd attack. OH OH OH AND SAM! I have some sketches down but IDK if I have to brain power to finish his ref. But I do desperately need to flesh this poor boy out so that he is less of a “best friend in the fridge” (pure dead plot device).
Edit: Looking back now, it seems that TF2’s holding a larger influence on my art style than I first had thought.
I loved the movie and got the book for Christmas. It’s good, and Stephen King knows how to make you feel like a character is grimy and disturbing. He also likes breasts I guess, or that’s my impression from the writing.
I can’t help but only see the movie characters instead of how they are depicted in the novel. Wendy’s supposed to have lighter hair. It is said that Kubrick did a lot of changes, and so far as of Chapter 48, there are a lot.
Below is stuff that changed, although my memory of the movie is a little rusty.
Spoilers:
Aside from appearances, characters are dropped. There is a mechanic (?) named Watson who is left out who tells Jack all about the boiler, and I believe Al Shockley is gone as well. The movie also drops the heavy lore aspects of the book. In King’s novel, the mentality of the Torrences is delved into: Jack’s father and Wendy’s mother. Jack’s attempts at going alcohol-free. Their wavering feelings of divorce. Danny’s arm incident. How Jack lost his job. So on…
The whole motivation of Jack digging into the history of the hotel is gone. He finds a scrapbook of its history, filled with newspapers and photos. Tons of scandals, deaths, and fraud all over. That is part of his assimilation to the hotel. The movie skips this, and the scenes of him during the hallucinations of the past residents is significantly shorter. I absolutely love what what is in the movie now, especially because my favorite song plays in it, but I think the sequences about the clock and all that would be cool to have.
There’s more about that dog costume guy in the book. It’s some sex-play scandal that happened with the hotel higher-ups I think, where one guy dresses up like a dog and the other guy treats him like one. I’d have to re-read to get the exact details but yeah. That bath lady shows up more, and the room number is different but that’s cuz the hotel the movie set was in just didn’t want the people to get nervous or something, so they picked a non-existent number.
I would love for more of the ghostly illusions to show up. The elevator. The hose. The combined eras all together. I understand Kubrick wanted less supernatural and the movie was only so long. From movie exclusives, I wish the “All Work and No Play Makes Jack a Dull Boy” scripts were in the book. Maybe they are, but I’m only on Chapter 48.
The hedge animals become a hedge maze. I love the maze scene in the movie, and the animals seem a little weak in the book where they have shown up so far, but could there be a way to combine them? Or would that stuff up the movie/book too much?
Certain motifs are removed/altered. A prominent theme in the book is that things keep coming back: Jack and Wendy act like eachother’s parents and repeat their mistakes, alchohol relapses, the spirits of the hotel, the wasps (which aren’t in the movie; they are sprayed with bug bomb but come back to sting Danny). That stuff. The movie does have this, but it is less strong. Like I said, the wasps are gone and there is less on the Torrence’s backstory. The elevator’s blood is not there ever, while redrum remains. The twins are not seen by Danny.
Speaking of Danny, he seems more intelligent and aware in the book, like a traumatized child. His shine is the same, but it goes more in-depth. He knows the hotel wants him, and he can see old events. Him and Hallorann are closer. Idk if his age is different. Tony also presents himself differently and is more active in the movie. There is no finger thing or voice changing in the book, and Tony pretty much ditches the hotel early-on, where he is present when Jack is hunting for them in the movie.
Wendy seems to react more in the movie, but I think that is the case because the movie does not establish the story before the hotel, where she is already pretty done with Jack’s shit. Shelley Duvall’s acting is great and it adds to the horror of the movie. I’ve heard that King disliked her portrayal, but I think it makes sense for what the un-read (as in, they have not read the book) watcher would know. In my mind I see the two Wendys as the same; she’s still very brave in the movie. I’d be losing my shit if my theoretical husband was doing all this crazy stuff.
Lastly is the ending. I’m sure there is more I will see until then. I do know what happens. In some way, the hotel explodes in the novel. In the movie, it does not. Jack gets assimilated again (I say again, as there’s a theory that he is a reincarnation of one of the spirits who comes back to claim more shining victims to increase the hotel’s power). His body is frozen in the snow and it cuts to a zooming out camera shot of him in a 20’s ballroom photo with my favorite song in the background. Although I haven’t read the explosion scene yet, from a current standpoint I feel like the more mysterious photo ending seems better, while the explosion would act more logical with how the hotel is set up; I’m sure by the time of his downfall, Jack would have forgotten the very temperamental boiler, thus an explosion.
I mentioned the blending eras thing before, where it’s written how in Jack’s delusions, the different guests throughout the hotel’s history are all depicted as blended together. The songs sort of do this in both mediums: The movie has tunes from the 30/40’s with photos of the 20’s, while the book straight up tells us that there are multiple songs from different decades playing one after the other. I think the book is better at showing it, where the movie portrays it as Jack’s mind slipping. Well… both technically do that, but the book is more than his unreliable narration.
I could go on and on! I loved the movie and I’m enjoying the book so far. Would love to rewatch it and eventually record myself rereading the book. The latter would take a bit and be split into parts.
I had no idea Dick Hallorann was supposed to survive. The injuries described seem brutal, and I can’t tell if Jack died after Wendy stabbed him or after the spirit bashed his face in. The ending was sweet though, with Hallorann, Danny, and Wendy in Maine. Danny’s words about his father were a little sad; the fact that he knew his dad was gone. I liked it but I still enjoy the colder one we got in the movie. The Overlook’s spirit remains in both of them, just more weakened in the book and stronger in the movie as the hotel still remains in the latter.
I loved the movie and got the book for Christmas. It’s good, and Stephen King knows how to make you feel like a character is grimy and disturbing. He also likes breasts I guess, or that’s my impression from the writing.

Did this on the bus ride home from a jazz competition. Our school’s club was in it but we kinda sucked cuz two members were missing. I had to hold in the most painful dookie for 5+ hours and was tweaking. Ended up deeply craving a peanut butter and jelly sandwich because I kinda forgot to bring money for dinner
