finally found a song that fits eric in terms of his past and present, and yes, that also includes his cailen comix evil eric phase, if it is even canon to the REAL pocketeer's lore (is it???), whatever, go listen to taniyama's work
(link to the english and no text versions, the song, and a translation below the cut)
seriously tho what happened to him i swear he peaked prior to mid-2008 was bro retconned beyond 2018 does he remain malevolent and scornful forever did he get redesigned for dnd WHAT HAPPENED TO MY MAN CRAIG THE CHANGER AUGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
i felt like testing out how to draw children without making them look like a teen or adult as id usually do OR drawing them into a way thats deemed problematic by literally everyone with a sane mind, so what else could i do other than draw EVIL eric, who i headcanon as no more than 11 years old in the 2006 cailen comix, not eric POCKETS, EVIL eric, eric POCKETS's predecessor; out of EVERYONE i couldve done for this test, i chose evil eric, but regardless, i think i did both good and bad with the testing part
also, yes, i know eric was declared "short" in the 2002 comics, but it still makes sense for me to view him as a kid in the later comics from 2006 while ignoring the load of shipping going on in the older comics from 2002 (which made me uncomfortable bc again, i viewed my man eric as a kid at the time and headcanon him and pj as cousins)
anyway, i also made this when i felt like shit and just wanted to regress and go back to my younger, golden years, if i even know how to regress anymore, and bc i often relate myself with eric pockets (sincerest apologies cailen), yall know what i had to do, so yea, if ur sick of hearing all of this natural yapping from me, i am too, so just look at my art and call it a night, goodnight tumblr
(also i lowered the shading opacity bc it didnt fit right with me)
idk which bg i liked more so take these evil eric drawings i made on a whim and under post-wisdom teeth removal pain
idk if i should draw evil eric's robot again any time soon either bc of how painstakingly long it took me or bc i have a question: HOW can eric fit inside it without it collapsing due to how feeble it looks OR bc of how miniscule it might be in size (at least from the height comparison i was given)? HOW????????
