Hey! I just have a question! Do you have any tips or tricks on drawing the motm characters, I WANNA MAKE PUPCUP SO BAD AHH!! (BY THE WAY, I LOVE YOUR COMICS!!)
Hi!!
Theres not much under my sleeve but I'll suppose I'll show some tricks anyways!
While Pinterest is the best place to find references and what not, I much more recommend this app you're on right now which is tumblr! Especially since you're looking for motm references which isn't that common in pinterest
Boris
I usually just copy how others draw him. My best examples are isaacz's art, biposi and of course, the official motm blog! But if I'm gonna be honest to more understand the fur and teeth you can just look for furry anatomy references in Pinterest! I learn better that way.
Cuphead and Mugaman
How I draw them is more or less based on kleverklitor's art. They're the most easiest to draw in my opinion so not much references are needed but if you must, I preferably use Pinterest to find out how to correctly draw them. I usually use this to help me with perspectives
Characters like cuphead and mugman are the best to exaggerate their expressions!
Bendy
Theres a bunch of him on Pinterest but I think its better with isaacz's style. Their bendy looks the most accurate if I do say so myself
His head gets hard to draw bc ya gotta figure out how to fit his face since he got a crest as well but overall he's quite easy
Liquify tool is gonna be your best friend if ur drawing him
Shelly
With Dandy's world being popular, shes the most easiest to find references! Shes also easy to draw! Just a rounded square and a lil blob on the side with goggles on top and yer done!
Yeah so sorry if my tips or how I explain is confusing or doesn't rlly help with anything but that's js how it works for međĽš
a MOTM request fir ya (I just thought it was funni, so yeah)
hear me out. So it's two panels, maybe three. The first one is Felix walking in tellin Oswald that Mickey needs him and in the second panel Oswald pulls the "not now kitten wiskers, Daddy's working" bullshit... just an idea!
bro idek y this took me so long this is funny aslđ
âtime skip forward a year and a half from our previous prologue dateâ
Itâs the final week of October, and by next week, a new season of Wrestling would start.
Cuphead was a pretty well known Athlete in this university, he played almost every sport the place had to offer, but Wrestling was one thing he stuck out upon. He was real good at it..
Which is how he even reached tjis level of popularity. It seems like the moment youâre good at something socially acceptable, people come flocking to you. And thats when you meet all different kinds of people, kind people, rude ones, unique ones..all. And you even get to make new friends.
Cuphead liked having new friends..but it can be a bit annoying hanging around some of these people..and he himself is a bit much and annoying.
A week just before Halloween, a group of friends decided to host a Halloween party at someones house off campus, almost everyone was invited..and when Cuphead mentioned the party to Boris, he expected him to talk about it, but all that came out was aâ
âWhat? Theres gonna be a party?â Boris asks with a confused look on his face.
Oh, of course, he only really has three friends, including me..shoot.
âA party?.. itâs nearby campus, so you donât have to worry about getting a ride back to your dorm or anything you could walk it.â Cuphead says
âI didnât even know there was a party, what do you think Iâd wanna go?â Boris asks as he flipped through his notebook, the gentle aroma and scent of his tea that Cuphead bought him, making him unconsciously sniff the air as he flipped through his notes and textbook.
âWell itâs gonna be on Halloween, who ditches a halloween party?â
âSomeone who doesnât really care for parties.â
âYouâre so boring.â The cup whined as he tapped his pencil eraser against his cheek, his other hand tightly gripping his knee. Usually it was hard to convince Boris to come with Cuphead out to social gatherings, boris always insisted that it was a waste of time if no one except Cuphead talked to him..and he had a point. But that doesnât mean that Boris should just turn down events like this just because people he doesnât know will be there.
âCome on, just think about it at leastââ
âLater.â
âYou better, or Iâll stop showing up at tutoring,â
âBe my guest,â Boris bluntly says, his words sound rude, but cups knew that underneath it was just sarcasm. They were best friends after all.
âCan you please think about it? Donât say that just so I can get my hopes up..â Cuphead pleaded, and finally, Boris glanced at him for a moment, then faced him.Â
As much as he wanted to deny it, his tail was wagging just a bit behind his back.
âOkay, fine.â Boris muttered as he ran his hand through his fur, earning a silent âyesâ from Cuphead at his response.
âNow shut up, I gotta help you cram for your test,â
Now skip forward to the present, itâs already the night of the party, and Cuphead wasnât in the kitchen getting a drink, he wasnât really focused on meeting new people, and he wasnât talking to his other friends inside or anything. He was justâŚwaiting.
Waiting on the porch.
In a cheap vampire costume he snagged from local costume shop nearby.
With his phone in hand.
He sat on the steps, impatient, only moving when people asked if he could make way so that people can go in and out as they pleased.
He wasnât exactly attached to Boris by the hip, is what he would say. But he was definitely hoping he would show up. He liked Halloween, and heâd be here with his brother, but His brother had gone to a different college.Â
Boris was really the only person closest to him, Other than Chalice and Elder Kettle. But even then he didnât see them as often as he used to.
While waiting, his body began to grow impatient too, his leg bounced quickly while he drummed a small beat against one of his knees. Without even really realizing it, he was trying to soothe himself.
Then he heard a familiar voice call out his name. This voice,  much often ignored by others, was the only thing that would be audible to his own ears in a room full of people.
âCuphead, is that you?âÂ
Boris asked, even though he could clearly see with his own two eyes as he approached, that it was indeed him.
The wolf, had shown up, with a more or less, overrated costume himself. A werewolf. He had on the buttoned up white shirt that was slightly tattered at the hem of it, it was buttoned up, but it was also missing some collar buttons, and he had the sleeves rolled up to his elbows. The shirt wasnât crisp white, it was like it was rolled around in dirt and sprayed with fake blood on certain areas.
Then he had on dirt covered dark wash straight jeans, and some more blood sprayed up on a bit of his more lighter colored fur that was on his snout.
Anyone could look and walk past, or even compliment it.
But jeez Cuphead could just stare at him like this for a while.
âA vampire, thats all?â Boris said, a small smile on his face as he held his hand out to help Cuphead stand up.
âYou shouldnât be talking, I mean come on, so lame, a wolf dressing up as a werewolfâ
âJust making the night easier for myself. I didnât wanna buy some expensive cheap costume.â Boris shrugged.
Cuphead only nodded in understanding, before taking his hand and using it as leverage to pull himself back up. Once he was standing up on his own two feet again, he was close to being face to face with the wolf. They simply stared at each other, before Cuphead cleared the air by reaching for his wrist and opening the front door.
âCome on, letâs go inside.â He grinned as he pulled him and himself inside.
The inside of the house was a complete contrast to the setting outside. Outside, it was calm and quiet, the sound of the crickets chirping in the tall lawn grass was audible, along with the faint humming of the music from inside the home. Meanwhile inside, it was a bit more loud, the sound of people talking and the sound of music blaring was overriding his hearing. And almost everyone was dressed up of course. As much as one would have the courage to dive into this new space and meet other people, Boris didnât really wanna do that. And he pretty much onky came to see Cuphead..
Who was already walking away to go chat with someone real quick, but not without pulling Boris along with him.Â
But Boris didnât want to go. He needed a moment alone.
He pulled his wrist away from Cuphead, which caused the cup to quickly look back in confusionÂ
âWhats wrong?â He asked , a slightly worried look already forming on his face.
âI need to go..find a bathroom real quick.â Boris says, before walking away, leaving Cuphead alone. Even if it slightly irritated the cup a little that his friend had already gone off to seclude himself again, he decided to just let him be for the moment, and to go have a quick chat with his friends.
Meanwhile Boris was already trying to think up an excuse to just go home and avoid talking to people. He quickly typed on his phone, trying to get some help from his brother, one of his few trustworthy people in the world, as he typed out his plea for bendy to make up a quick excuse that would sound good so Boris can leave..
Go talk to new people B
You canât always just run away
Youâre an adult for crying out loud.
..As much as he wouldnât like to admit it, he was right. He couldnât back away into a corner all the time, or be stuck in his comfortable zone when it was stopping him from actually living life.
But then again, it was sometimes nerve wrecking to even try to hold up a conversation.
He took a deep breath, stood up yall and  fixed himself up, before strolling out the bathroom. He looked around and found himself in the kitchen, where most of the drinks were, he grabbed himself a cup of water, and looked around. Possibly, there had to be a familiar face around hereâŚsomeone he didnât really speak to often..
Oh, Shelly. Sheâs a nice girl, he has her in  some of his classes ..and they talked once or twice. Well she mostly talked to him. But this wouldnât be such a bad time to just talk to her, outside of school.
Without tucking his tail between his legs and hiding, Boris strangled a bit of courage and confidence inside of him, that motivated him to walk forward over to the Fossil, and almost easily..they talked. It was real nice to just talk to someone outside of his usual two friends.
And for almost a good hour, they spoke. The conversation was going good, just talking about school, life, and strangely, dinosaur facts were brought up, but he didnât mind..
Meanwhile a cup on the other side of the room did mind. He tried to ignore the  jealous feelings that had begun brewing at first, he waited all week to talk and have fun with Boris at this party, he felt jealous that he was just talking to Shelly. And as bad as he began to hate having Borisâs attention on anyone else that wasnât him, he also hated feeling jealous. It was an ugly feeling, Shelly is a nice girl, another friend of his that he knew well and she was amazingâŚhe had no control in who or what Boris did with someone else.Â
Boris wasnât his.
So for an hour, he just kept chugging down cups of the spiked juice at the party, while some of his friends just chatted his ear off. He wasnât really listening to what they were saying, he was just trying to distract himself from his unusually overwhelming feelings of jealousy.
But his attention is drawn back to the current conversation when his friend blocks his view, and speaks up,
âTruth or dare?â
âSeriously, this is what they were doing for a good hour? Or what even led up to this dumb game.â
âWhy the hell am I thinking like a assholeâ
âDare,â Cuphead says as he lowered his cup from his lips, his mind already growing a bit fuzzy from the alcohol.Â
âKiss your crush,â
âWhat are we, middle schoolersâ
âDonât got one.â
âYes you do, stop being lame, everyone has a crush.â
âI donât.â Cuphead said sternly, his tone changing the more he got pushed to admit feelings he didnât wanna talk about..at a party of all places.
âFine then.â His friend grumbled, before moving away towards the others.
And as much as he thought that dare was stupid, he already had his eyes on the person he wanted to kiss.
Nearing midnight, he was slightly wasted. Cuphead had dealt with more than he can chew, and as of now, he was currently letting his legs guide him around, as if he were on some autopilot while his mind was a bit buzzy.
But even if everything was a bit buzzy, he did have one goal in the back of his mind.
Find Boris.
He checked the kitchen, then the bathroom, the living room, and even the second and third level of the house..these people must be doing pretty fucking well if they got this many floors..
But he wasnât in the house at all. And neither was Shelly. So with a last hope, he walked to the front door and opened it up, and right there on the porch was the prize..
..Sitting right next to Shelly.
He didnât say anything for a good minute, he just stared in slight amusement, to see Boris talk to someone other than him was an unusual but a nice sight to see.Â
His gaze landed on his ears, then his nape, and then it dropped to his back.. God his back was nice..
âCuphead?â
His gaze snapped back up when his name was called out into the air, and he realized it was Shelly who said it.Â
âYou good?â She asks, tjat sweet smile on her face. She actually dressed up real nice, In a simple but cute Dinosaur Adult Onesie.
The moment Borisâs gaze landed on Cuphead, he knew he probably had a bit too much to drink. He was beginning to feel a bit tipsy himself, after he chose to drink something other than water. Without needing to be asked, he stood up and walked up the steps before grabbing his hand and pulling his arm around his shoulder and nape.
âI think heâs had a bit too much to drink tonight. Iâll see you at school next week Shelly. See ya,â Boris says, no longer feeling heavily weighed down his anxiety to say farewell comfortably now.
Shelly smiled and waved the both of them go, watching Borisâs tail gently wag as he and Cuphead walked down the sidewalk together.
âWhere ya taking me?â Cuphead asks
âTo your dorm..â
â..okay.â Cuphead replied, no longer feeling usually enthusiastic, but now just calm and quiet. Letting Boris hold his arm around his shoulder, and place his other hand on his waist comfortably as they went.
It didnât take long to get back on campus. What did feel long was the silence in the elevator when they reached the dormitory. It felt almost tense, with how hard Cuphead stared at Boris. As if he was really thinking hard about something.
Once the machine dinged, alerting them of the doors opening to the new floor,Â
Boris carefully pulled him out the elevator and walked down the hallway, and stopped once he reached his dorm. He searched Cupheads pocket before finding his key, and opening the door up.
Cupheads dorm seemed large, only because he didnât have a roommate. And he took up most of the space for himself.
Boris sat him down on a nearby chair before kneeling down before him and undoing his shoe laces. A act of kindness in his eyes..
..it had Cuphead internally screaming, his heart felt like it was thrumming in a faster rhythm every time he pulled something off for him, his shoes, his gloves, his jacket..God he felt like crawling up the walls. He has sobered up a bit on the walk, the quiet silence outside cleared his mind. But now it his internal consciousness felt like it was full of chaos and lovesick thoughts.
Boris stood up eventually, just to lean in only to undo the vampire Cape Tie around Cupheads neck. And when it was undone, he pulled it off of him, before looking up, he soon found himself stuck as he stared into Cupheads eyes.Â
âYou okay?â
âMore than fine,â Cuphead replied as he leaned in a bit closer, the action causing Borisâs ears to pull back slightly.
âI can see that.â Boris murmured, watching as Cuphead leaned in closer till their lips were barely a hair away from pressing against each other.
Each of them waited, waited for the other to make some sort of sigh or s something that would maybe tell them that they both werenât thinking the same thing.
Then Cuphead risked it, the only thought on his mind being the dare from early.
He finally closed the last bit of distance between themselves, and kissed. And for a moment, Boris was surprised, shocked even, his heart was beating hard against his ribs, and he felt like he might die but..
He liked it. He really did. Even if it felt wrong to admit that.
Quickly, he pulled away just for a moment and turned off the lamp on Cupheads desk, before walking back over to Cuphead and  picking him up by the underside of his thighs. Each of them pressing right up against each other until there was no more room left.Â
He hurriedly walked over to the nearby bed, and set him down on his back, before crawling up on the bed himself and looming over him.
âIs this okay?ââ
âItâs more than fine for fucks sake,â Cuphead huffed out as he pulled him by his face and brought him in for another kiss, the two of them went on messily making out in the dark.
