Part 2, wahoo! Here's even more doodles! Most are from the parody account, but like last time there are some that were just for fun.

I've been running a Bandit Parody account over on Twitter! Here's part 1 of many future doodle dumps, haha!

Features some doodles I planned to show but never ended up on the blog.

I've got to stop getting inspired by Brandy's old AUs lol Here's some Wing AU drawings from today, including additions of Finch and a friend's oc, Michael.

It is I! Again! Sorry I kinda disappeared, life's been hectic and I couldn't really think of many Bandit questions, hell I still can't... I'm coming to you with just two questions on my mind: Firstly, the last time I doodled Bandit I kinda like? Subconsciously drew his left eyebrow with a little cut in it, simply because it made sense in my brain not because you actually draw him this way (unless I'm going insane and you do and I'm going completely mad then oopsies!!!) so it's making me wonder, are there any specific stylizations/characterizations in fanart that you're not a fan of? I'm not asking you to be a hater or discriminatory or anything I'm just curious if you'd rather not have Bandit be drawn a certain way!! I know it's kinda a stupid question... Secondly, if you had to pick primarily of the OFF OST to associate with Bandit, which one would you pick and why? (I try to associate one OFF track with every one of my Elsen OCs personally,,, I think it's fun) That's all for right now! Good luck with OFFtober btw, I'm struggling catching up with the prompts rn and I wouldn't want you going through it too hahdhd

Completely neglected to answer this! My bad! I can't think of any stylizations of Bandit that I dislike, I actually really enjoy when people play around with his design. I've commonly seen different hair styles and different clothing, but I just adore seeing him interpreted in different art styles in general. As for characterizations, one of the most common things I've seen fans depict Bandit with is Smoking.. and I just don't see it. Nothing against that (other than like,, real life health risks) but smoking never really made sense to me in the context of the OFF universe in the first place. I don't think tobacco is a thing there, and people get smoke from mines anyway.. meh, that's me being petty tho. I'd be lying if I said I didn't like the art that also happens to have him smoking.

That second question is hard, because I legitimately cannot pick a piece from the original OST that really fits him. Maybe I'm used to associating those pieces with the characters and environment they're already for, but I just don't see Bandit fitting anything. Apologies for the slight cop-out, my mind is just blank.

Filler pic today's from twitter. This wasn't even the first time people have told me Bandit has shown up in their dreams

Okay okay back with more Bandit questions and observations now!!! Hi!!! First off, what's the model of his gun? Literally just curious, really doesn't mean anything unless I feel like drawing it lmao. Secondly, what's his thoughts on the people in power/the guardians + the queen (I'm lumping the Judge into the guardians)? You said he won't work when he can survive well on his own, but does his dislike stretch out to even wishing harm on the guardians? Actually, does he know if a guardian dies, their Zone dies, too? How knowledgeable is he on the world of OFF's lore and how it functions?? Thirdly, does he have any friends I should know about? You drew him interacting with Project Goldfinch/Just Finch to break up the text in my first ask, what's their relationship? Does Bandit scam him to hell and back, or do they just casually chat every now and then? Fourthly, I VERY BRIEFLY checked out Ask Bandit and here are some observations I made: Uno, how come you ship him with Red from Animal Crossing? Is it cuz they both steal and resell?? If so, that's hilarious and I love your sense of humor. Dos, when drawing him with Elsen 7 I did not know Bandit currently resides in Zone Three, because 7 lives in Zone One. This whole time I was under the impression he travels through Zones for some reason lol? I guess that's my curse of having a handful of ECU Elsen that do that themselves lmao. Last but not least, not something Ask Bandit related, just generally speaking, would you like to see any future doodles I make of Bandit, whether he's interacting with my own OCs or otherwise? If not, I totally get it lol. Sorry if this is too many questions btw!! You're free to infiltrate my inbox with silly questions too if you want, just to make it more fair. Thank you! :]

Apologies in advance, I didn't make any new Bandit art for this post so I'm just linking something I drew in April that I don't think I shared to tumblr XD Answer time!

I modeled Bandit's gun after a Glock?? Kinda?? I didn't really reference a specific model, more like loosely inspired. I probably should create a prop-reference for it, but I haven't yet.

Bandit's dislike for authority does not stretch to wanting to take out the guardians. It would be counter-intuitive to his role as a merchant to kill off his customers by killing off the guardians. Bandit cares too much about profit, and although the guardians are annoying, without them he wouldn't have profit.

Bandit is fully aware on how the world of OFF works, it's inner workings, and other meta things.

Bandit will say anyone is his friend, even if they clearly hate him. Louis would be the only one that would truly think of Bandit as a friend (except maybe my elsen-sona, but they're a mary-sue type oc and should probably not be counted if we're talking in-universe/story lol)

As Finch is the protagonist in my game concept, Bandit will be the merchant selling them items. Finch is distrusting of Bandit, but sees him as a necessity in their mission. I do have an idea where Bandit does steal something from Finch to propel the plot, but who knows if that'll stay in the final lol

Bandit x Redd is a joke ship created by @brandy-elsen (tagging the account it was posted on and not your current account because I do not wanna waste a tag on this I am sorry Brandy AHHSGFG). All the credits to her for the comedic genius. I think you guessed right as to why that ship exists tho. I just drew it for that post because it met the "two pieces of fanart" criteria I set.

Bandit travels the zones, your initial assumption was right. He is only in Zone 3 on the askbandit blog because of the story being told on there. He's gotta refill his stock of sugar manually since sugar happens to be one of the things he cannot magically pull from his pack.

I would love to see future doodles you make of Bandit! I like collecting all the fanart I get and posting it (with credits/links) to his gallery on toyhouse.

I'm terrible with asking questions, but I'll keep your offer in mind if I have any in the future! :D

With a combination of my own art and fanart I have found all across the internet, Bandit has now hit 500 images!

This is a wonderful birthday gift (the 12th), thank you all!

I somehow got community posts unlocked on youtube, so I decided to make some new art for my channel! Decided to keep it OFF-themed, so here’s the Bandit icon and the Elsen + Spectres banner
