I've been planning this illustration for over a month now - in April, I had the patreon folks vote on a theme for a big gravity falls print, and camping was the winner. Even just planning the general composition took a while, figuring out where I wanted all the characters to be. Once I shored up a good thumbnail, I made it tighter twice before putting it on paper, and working in pencil. The pencil drawing part took me four sit down sessions of drawing, and then coloring the scan took another couple of days. I worked SO DANG HARD to finish this monster before mc3, and by some miracle, I did.
Overall, I'm really happy with how this illustration turned out! I feel like it does a good job of expressing my love for the show. I'm really glad people were enthusiastic about it at the convention - I had a lot stop and look at it with these really awestruck, sad wet goo goo eyes expressions LOL! They did this: 🥺 with an actual human face dskjhlsdfkjh!!
Here's a link to my bigcartel store, where you can get one! Also, info to keep in mind: members of my $5 patreon tier get 15% discount on their orders when they use a special code.

Under the cut: Uncolored pencil version, and sketches.
I drew some fanart for the TADC AU fic "I'm Trapped in the Circus & I Must Scream", written by @crownof1000moonslayers!!
If you're looking for something Caine-centric, darker, and an ~amazing~ incorporation of a crossover(between IHNMAIMS and TADC), I absolutely recommend reading it <3
The concept of how Caine might look like in a "reality" sounded so fascinating to me, especially set in such a dystopian/eerie setting like IHNMAIMS. I also hope it's ok that I took a bit of design inspo from @/kiwiqueen13's wonderful design/fanart!! ~~~
OH MY GOSH ITS BEAUTIFUL ITS SO BEAUTIFUL I LOVE CAINE IN ART STYLE AHHHHHHHHHH
Would it be okay if I repost it when I post Chapter 5? I will of course provide a link to blog and full credit will be given as well in the start notes if that's alright with you. If It not, I completely understand and grateful for that artwork! :D
I'M GLAD YOU LIKE IT!!!! And of course, I'd be honored - feel free to use it however you'd like! I love the concept so dearly, I wanted to try and balance AM/the gritty atmosphere of IHNMBIMS with the circus-y colorful themes of Caine/TADC, they were super fun to visualize~~ Excited to see what you cook up next^^
Thank you so much! I absolutely loved the little screens in the background with AM looming over him and the white drawings of circus themed attractions like the fairest wheel as Caine attempt to brighten up AM's gritty world like you said. It's so cooolllllll. And I can't wait for your reaction to chapter 5 as well. :)
Um, to anyone who’s seeing this and is interested in what is going on (and doesn’t know what happened), feel free to check this post.
And for anyone involved, smg4 and tpoh fans alike, remember to take care of yourselves!!!
Spreading hate won’t help anyone, the best we can do is to wish for a response, because a response (or at least acknowledgement) is the bare minimum at this point.
