Makes it both Better and also Sadder @sandflakedraws - Tumblr Blog

yooo what the heck did tumblr do to make those last two uploads appear so crunchy when zoomed out

ah yes it appears they are just rolling out a new 'crunches ur images' feature, which is now retroactively effecting many works of mine, making them look like garbage. the standard fare then

#i imagine they're testing a new way to make images render faster by having a lower resolution desync built in #crunchy images do tend to load faster but ....#my artwork :[ .........#even if i didn't have the paper texture overlayed on mine i think it still would look awful

text posts that instantly make u draw

#sandflakedrew #dreamworks trolls #trolls hickory #quaintpanic #he's new to country territory!! it IS his first rodeo!!!#it okay teen hickory just give it time

descends on u from above like this

#sandflakedrew #trolls padlock #oc #hair wings!!! my city now !!!#something that gives them a leg up in the scenarios i've got poised for em

Flickory prompts huh?

Floyd and hickory first date?

maybe not necessarily the first first one, but one such date early on in their relationship...

... things don't always go smoothly, but the sticking-it-out pulls them closer together.

#joey babbles #anon #flickory #trolls hickory #trolls floyd #sandflakedrew #comic #undescribed #what if you thought you got stood up #but you fought internally over your conviction and judge of character #and took the harder route of keeping your hope alive #and on the flipside #what if you knew that no amount of prepping someone for the chaos of your life actually stops it from being a gut punch when it happens #its been hours #your outfit is torn your nose is bloody your flower is falling apart #... and he was STILL waiting there #. its fine i can make myself emo all on my own whEEEE #also pictured : still not the timeline i'm going for lmaooo

So I just wanted to send you an ask to say A. I finally watched trolls band together tonight after havin a kinda hectic day thanks to seeing your posts on my dash earlier and it was a lot of fun, so thank you for getting me to do so (I already loved the others I'm just slow to watching stuff 😂), and B. I've been following you for probably like 7 years now and I just wanted to say. I'm really glad you found something with trolls that makes you happy to do art again and makes you feel good. I know shit was rough for awhile so Genuinely, I'm glad youre doin better these days and enjoying art more again :) it's always a joy to see your stuff floating around for whatever you end up making really

buDDYYYYYYY . skewered thru the heart (happy style)...

yeah

yeah.

gettin back to drawing a bunch of random baloney for a silly story... it feels somethin like comin home.

#joey babbles #doomednarrative #i am meant to draw absurd bullshit man thats my happy place #trolls post

What color is hickory’s skin tone?

According to coolors.co, either Old Gold or Palm Leaf

And according to me,

#old gold is the exact hex code i use for him most of the time #but occasionally i make him a bit more green #joey babbles #anon #hickory #trolls post

Need you to know I used your flickory human designs as reference points for their miis on my Tomodachi Life: Living The Dream island (I suck at the face paint tool though so I was working with the provided things so it’s not very accurate lmao. Still though, your drawings helped)

:DDDD excellent !!! live the flickory tomodachi life dream ..

#hello???

sudden addition to the pod...

#sandflakedrew #dreamworks trolls #trolls rosiepuff #trolls padlock #oc #lore crumbs ....

hi hi i just wanted to pop in here and say that I've been a follower of yours for a while because i really love your art but i just watched the trolls movies tonight and oh my god. those are so good. and i appreciate your hickory design even more now that I know it isn't canon, making him a satyr is so smart! definitely how I view him in my head. and the outfit you gave him is better too. it's all just really good. anyway stay winning! have a good one

They're so fun!!! Juuuust enough world building and character building to go ham in the sandbox.

and yeSSSSS i'm such a fan of satyr yodelers, really gives em something extra >:3cccc

#i will be havin that good one thank u #joey babbles #anon #i am /also/ a fan of 'both country and yodeling carry authenticity to hickory'#and put that in his outfit

whatever, go my Brozone fanparents!!

thought it'd be funny if all their kids just ended up being aqua by coincidence. one kid took a nose color, another took an eye color, another one came that way because of color sequence genes (yellow>green>blue), etc.

hopefully y'all can intuit a bit about each parent, and who takes after who....

#i will talk lore later....#sandflakedrew #dreamworks trolls #trolls padlock #trolls june #makes floyd a spring baby ... jd a fall baby ...

Hi :D Where can I buy A Touch of Sunlight with the updated or changed pages? I remember a kickstarter a couple of years ago but I didn't have the money to buy it back then - is there any way to buy a PDF now in 2026? Thank you for your time :)

You can buy the PDF for The Touch of Sunlight here!

oh btw! if anyone does end up getting the PDF, check your email and check your spam folder, as there's a nonzero chance that the fulfillment email i send gets marked as spam.
