THE TIME HAS FINALLY ARRIVED! I PRESENT TO YOU... THE ONE... THE ONLY... TIME STEVE! 🎉👏👏👏👏🎉👏👏👏👏🎉

This took way too long than it actually needed to be. Y'all! I was struggling! With the stupid pose!!! The POSE! HOW?! I wasn't satisfied! I took at least a week or two just redrawing and erasing so much that I had to take a break... From him though, I have started drawing other characters. Because I already knew how I wanted to pose everyone else, but him? It was vague! But I ended up with this, and I'm fine now! Everything else was relatively smooth sailing. I had the design via OG reference, all I changed were minor details. Like how many buttons are on his cloak. The original had two on each side, adding up to four, but when I sketched it, it looked off so I changed it to three. Rainbow Quest version has four on one side and it's open but this guy is Steve Saga version.

Btw, I'm making designs for RQ, just thought I'd mention this, it's for meme purposes.

Anyway, now he has up to six buttons. The one at the top is for his hood, which is separate from the trench coat, cloak thing, not entirely sure what the proper name for it is, but that button is only on the hood. The other changes I made was adding a trim to his attire! The coat has a darker brown lining it while the hood has a silver lining to it. You can't see it in the low quality photo, I apologize, but there is an hour glass at the top of his hood too. Very small. Looks like it's attached to the top of his mask but it's not, it's part of the hood, I promise when I draw everyone digitally you will be able to see it more clearly. As well as everything else.

His mask! I made the clock face his mask, it's got simple thick lines around it indicating the time. I thought numbers would not fit and the Roman numerals would look cool but I don't think it would fit on this paper either, so I just made simple lines. Plus he seems like the type of dude who would wear simpler clothing, if there is details they aren't much, just complimentary details.

He has silver hair, skin, and eyes, since the side of his Minecraft skin is silver and it's like a watch, so he's silver now, and his eyes are also like his mask, having lines like a clock.

The last thing in details I want to explain is more about his mask! Has anyone watched the anime Bleach? 😏✨Well! The Hollow masks can fade in and out, and that is what I decided Time's mask would do too! Pretty cool idea, if I do say so myself. 😚👌That is why it is incomplete and you can see his left eye. It is in the middle of fading onto his face!

As for the last bit of explanation, the colors were easy because yeah. Referencing the original! Oh. One more thing about the hood. It was a problem in the sketch phase... I ask for my twin sister's opinion sometimes when I'm unsure of something or want to check if it's ready or not, and she didn't like the hood. So I had to redo this thing too! And it was just unsatisfactory! So then I went on Pinterest to look at references. Just so you know, there are many different types of hoodies... Big loose or droopy ones in robes, skinny ones that hug your head on modern hoodies and jackets, wide medium ones on coats, you get the idea! I was looking for something between a cloak and a modern hoodie. As you can see in the original skin, you can see his face. I interpreted this as it is not a big, droopy hood, but it is made of loose cloth. So a bit of both captures this design that I needed. I'm pretty sure my sister was thinking about big droopy hoodies because we kinda argued over it but it's fine! She says this is alright. I understand that hoods can drop but his doesn't drop that much! And considering the pose he's in, he's pulling the hood up so the back being closer to his head makes sense. Either way, I have this as the final product! Since you can't see the back of said hoodie, I will tell you there is some cloth hanging behind him. Once more, the original skin has some in the back so I kept it. You just can't see it. Maybe he'll be on an animation in the future and then you can see it! 😁

That is all! Our time with this character has ended and it is time to move on to the next one. Maybe I'll be more in my element. 🍃🔥💧⚡❄️🌪️ I said too many times puns, my bad, see you later y'all!

Story: Steve Saga (Fan Rewrite)

Character: Time Steve

Abilities: Controls Time, of course... I thought it would be interesting to add he has a room that keeps track of lives. He can see when it's someone's time of end. When whatever item used for tracking lifespan runs out, like the sand in an hourglass all reaching the bottom, or a clock stops ticking, maybe a count down device or a simple candle stick, those are lives meet their demise. Guess what? He has one too! It's on his face! When does it stop? Nobody knows! He doesn't either, just in the moment these items stop working at the end of their time, and someday his will too, we just don't see it.

Personality: a fast learner, tactful, knowledgeable, strategic, caring, careful, powerful, friendly, content, peaceful, and empathetic.

One of my top favorite characters of the entire series, the Spirit Guardian! AKA Guardian of the Spirit World and Guardian of the World Beyond. You get the idea! He's an ANGEL!!!

I kept his design using the original Minecraft skin as a reference, but I just let his hair stick out of the hood a little. I figured he would have white hair to match his big BEAUTIFUL FEATHERY WINGS!!!!! 😍😍😍 I absolutely love big feather wings! Okay, okay, moving on, the colors were easy since he's mostly black and white, I tend to mess up lighter skin tones in traditional art but I managed not to this time! As for making the black stand out so you can see his pants I had to make it slightly lighter than his robe. I'm happy with how all this turned out! I unfortunately couldn't quite get the hands to look right, so I once again saved myself from the trouble of drawing them by covering them up! You can see some of his left hand so you know he has them, but I posed him in a way that would look natural, including his wings flapping in front of his hands, and it feels like he's descending to meet us! Most likely Sabre to say hello or tell him he's caused some more problems and needs to be responsible and take care of it!

I have been drawing wings, mostly feathery ones, for about as long as I have been drawing. Those are probably the most developed parts of my artistic skills since I can't tell you enough times, I love feathered wings! And as proud of them as I am...... I have noticed mistakes over time that really gets under my skin. I can't fathom how this happened, but some how, I MESSED UP THE WINGS!!! 😭☹️ And now I shall point them out as I need to burn this in my memory so I don't let it happen again, and hopefully helps someone else remember to double check your sketch before starting the line art! There's no fixing mistakes if you notice them after that. It's the point of no return.

There is a second layer of feather on the outside of his left wing, I forgot add a second layer on the inside of his right wing, and it really gets me because I haven't made this mistake in so many years! It came back somehow! Now I'll explain what wings are supposed to look like! Or at least these ones since there are many different shapes and lengths wings have.

These wings are supposed to have the longest feathers on the outside, so that second outer layer is not supposed to be there. On his other wing I forgot the second inner layer. The feathers on the outside are like the backbone of the wings, so there shouldn't be layers outside, only inside. There are two inner layers, the second longest being the support and the smallest ones are the softest. They get smaller and softer the closer they are to the flyer. I hope I explained this well as I have done my best to be clear and understandable. It feels good to talk about these mistakes! As much as they bother me it is okay, I can redraw him in the digital art someday.

Now I can say my last words about the posing. The wings specifically. When they are curved you can not forget the feathers behind the curve. I'm not good with examples, but the best I can explain this, incase you are still confused, is imagine putting on a jacket or a coat without zipping it closed. The opening in the front allows you to see the back of the inside of the jacket. But some of the jacket is curved as it wraps around you while putting it on. Pretend you're invisible or something, you can see the back on the inside of the jacket while the sides are blocked by the front of the jacket. You can even just grab an object like a cup or ball with a piece of paper and wrap the paper around the object. I feel like I'm over explaining now so I shall stop. Thank you for reading if you got confused, I'm told I can be a bit confusing in my writing so I'm trying to fix that.

Some additional details you can't see in the drawing that I'd like to share with y'all is his eyes. You won't see them often, but when you do just know I'm not holding back with how beautiful they'll be. I initially thought they'd be golden but I've seen many fan animations and drawings of him having blue eyes, which I like a lot too, so I'm asking, and y'all please, someone answer😭🙏, should I make them blue or gold? Maybe mix them? I'll mix them if nobody answers again, I'll probably choose this one now! But one thing is for certain, when he's angry they'll turn red! Luckily it is difficult to incur his wrath.

The Spirit Guardian is a great character that I enjoyed and I loved the interactions the others had with him, he's especially fun to mess with. Out of the arcs I have planned, his will probably be my favorite to write and draw. I'm not spoiling anything buuuut let's just say some Demons were not happy with their punishments. 😈

I will see you tomorrow with another design, there is a shady character waiting for you! 👥

[featherwingfox]

This is a redesign of a Minecraft show I used to watch a long time ago called the Steve Saga by FavreMySabre. This is for my fan rewrite. I love the original story all the same, I'm merely rewriting it with the purpose of filling in the plot holes and fixing some problems the OG story had as I think I can find ways to do so. It was fun watching him just wing it as his reactions were more immersed but now I hope that this story can be fleshed out and polished. I welcome fellow fans and possibly new ones to The Steve Saga Fans Rewrite! Or maybe SS FR for short? So far this is what I'm calling it, if someone has some ideas for a better one please feel free to name it, if not, this is the name. On the interesting stuff now that I'm done with explaining myself!

This is Sabre. The creator of the story and the main character. In honor of the chicken skin he had, I made him keep the resemblance. The blindfold is something that stays in Sabre's Minecraft skins as it is iconic to his channel. In the story there is an explanation, but I'm not revealing this here as it is a funny thing I want y'all to enjoy finding out yourselves. There will be many changes you notice along the way in how the story progresses, the world build and other stuff, but it is pretty similar to the OG, I just edited what I thought was necessary for things to make sense or add something to expand upon the plot and world.

In the story Sabre is not playing a game (Minecraft) he is instead isekai'ed in a new world. He is physically there. Some things work like a game, such as viewing inventory and storing whatever you want in it or being able to view info about items, in this world it is normal. Things that are not like the game is respawning, he can die just like everyone else. YOLO! Other stuff, like the mobs are a little different, the dimensions are still here as well as the added ones OG story had, and some other things are still being worked out. At this time the rewrite is still in early development. Not only is the story being reworked but the logic and world is too. Which is a lot to think about and figure out, but so far it's going well.

It's going to be a veeeeery long time before I finish rewriting the story and probably even longer for me to post it. I want to make this fully illustrated, like a comic of sorts, so that you can see everything that happens. Now I am pondering whether I should post the story when it's completely finished, which will take FOREVER, or post it when I'm absolutely sure it doesn't need any more edits and I'm satisfied with the chapter, which is probably ideal, but I might change my mind and want to make changes on the future. What a conundrum, but I'm sure the latter is more likely and preferred as I don't want to keep people waiting too long. I might be overthinking some things... I just want to do well and hope y'all enjoy it.

You'll find out more as you read the story about important things that are the same or not, but for now enjoy the designs I drew for the story!

Story: Steve Saga (Fan Rewrite)

Character: Sabre

Abilities: Skilled with redstone machines, a fast learner, and a creative battle tactian.

Personality: Brave, funny, clever, has a sense of leadership, friendly, resourceful, and determined.

Rainbow Steve? No, it's Reverse Steve! He's evil but he wasn't so troublesome to draw, UNLIKE SOMEBODY! Glares at Nightmare

Alright, not my favorite drawing but I don't hate it. I love the sweater I gave him. I thought the design looked like it suited him and kept the 80's theme Rainbow had. Since this is like an evil version of him. Iffy about the boots, unsure of the pants. My family said the pants looked fine and match but I'm still not sure. I think they might look better if I make it pink! ✨🍭 (Pretend it's a fairy wand)

Surprisingly didn't have a problem drawing the hands. Okay I might have but I don't remember so it wasn't so bad. Turned out well. The pose was made to look like he was just created and becoming conscious. He's not exactly disinterested but he's figuring out what is happening. He will quickly find out how he wants to act and live, becoming the opposite of the Hero, Rainbow Steve. Hence why he was named Reverse Steve in the OG series among other things. I've tweaked his abilities to fit his name better.

Ah, I don't really have anything else to say about this one. Let me know if I should change his pants to pink or not, I would like your thoughts on this. If nobody says anything I'm going to see if pink looks better and choose myself if I should change or leave it alone for the final design in the comic. Even though I can't think of anything else to say I have a lot of plans for him and you'll see them in the rewrite. I hope y'all enjoy these and my process explanations!

There are many things people want to reverse, but you can't reverse your own demise.🪦 See you tomorrow with a haunting design!

Story: Steve Saga (Fan Rewrite)

Character: Reverse Steve

Abilities: can fly, summon lightning, fire, and reverse the movement of things.

Personality: mean, rude, heartless, and malicious.

Yay! It's the guy with a bunch of power and has no idea what to do with it! 🎉🥪🎊

Our powerful friend here is one of the goofiest characters in the OG series as well as stupidly strong! I tried to give him an outfit that looked as epic as his position in the world but a pose and expression that captures his personality. I have a very interesting arc for him, oh, it's one of my favorites for sure! Can't wait to get to that part!

His drawing was one of the best ones I've made in this sketchbook and of course it had to be one of my favorites, I love this color palette! The purple as the main focus and working with complimentary colors, they support each other really well. I love color theory if you couldn't tell, so if anyone has questions regarding that subject on art I would love to ramble about it! 😁 Anyway, I knew what colors I'd use, his Minecraft skin being the main reference, but I did use some freedom of design! I did not want him to look too complicated but also not too simple. Of course with colored pencils my creativity was limited, there are things I want him to have that you won't be able to see until the digital art, but this will suffice for now. I'm not going to give you spoilers on what you're missing out! I want it to be a grand reveal now!

I had a bit of trouble with his shirt. I couldn't figure out how I wanted the opening to look like so I found a good reference by reading a comic on Tapas, I believe it was Wicked No More, I recommend it as it is very sweet. Moving on from my side tracks, I am pretty good with drawing ruffles, that part was easy and helpful as I thought his shirt was a little plain. It decorated his shirt well, and now the sleeves! Those were looking plain too, so I experimented with space patterns and decided constellation like patterns were good. It was worrying to color around as I wanted them to be white but I managed without a mishap. I decorated the side of his pants with stars as well as his black boots having a giant one. The little... What are they? There are little rhombus things that tie the front of his majestic cape, they might be buttons??? This is bothering me! What are they?! I think you can clip them on the other side of the cape to keep it wrapped around his shoulders, but I'm unsure. Whatever, he can just lift it up if he wants to take it off! His head can fit through the opening! He has big fluffy hair but don't worry, it'll just, fwoosh, slip on through too. He has it tied in the back, if you can see it, but when he undoes it his hair will puff out, like an afro almost. Big fluffy hair seemed like a common interpretation the fans had so I kept it. While adding my own interpretation of it being tied down in a ponytail... Do I like giving strong beings long ponytails? Well of course! They look cool in it and Galaxy here does too! Speaking of cool, I loved coloring his hair and cape, probably my favorite parts of this drawing. I smudged spots of gel pen ink to make the blurred colors, I'm so proud of it! It looks awesome! Adding some dark blue and a bit of the pink I smudged the ink here and there, adding some more space like color. Guess what? His hands weren't a problem! Of course I always have to redraw hands to look right but I consider it troublesome when it takes more than ten times, or if I feel frustrated. So these were pretty good and they look great. His pose was made to look like he's being scolded by Sabre. I really like drawing his nervous expression. He may have impressive powers but he doesn't want to get on his friend's bad side! I loved the interactions everyone had with him, he's funny. AUGH! BUT I DID MESS UP HIS EYES!!! 😭I wanted them to be brighter! But the yellow in colored pencils, crayons and other traditional art materials always get tainted so easily! The eyes were okay in the final results, I've colored better, but I messed it up and accidentally made them darker because I wanted to use my gold gel pen, but I forgot to test it on my test color page and now they're darker than intended. Which isn't the worst, but I wanted them to be brighter... It's not that bad of a mistake at least, UNLIKE SOMEBODY! Glares at Nightmare

Back then however, I never really colored my art so I did not have an idea of how to color in his skin until I looked at other fan art. I'd probably just draw him with a dark purple color, which did look nice, but I also liked the fan interpretations. So I blended the two colors brown and purple, not sure if you can tell, but I think I did alright. I enjoyed drawing this character a lot, he was fun to design! I will say, when it comes to beings as powerful as Galaxy, I think they'd be taller. Some are taller but still short enough to be about face to face, using Sabre as an example, while others might look over him. Like a certain somebody I won't mention yet, I haven't even finished his scribbly sketch.

But someone I did finish and can't wait to show you tomorrow is on the way! You'll love this next character and his angelic design! 🪽

Story: Steve Saga (Fan Rewrite)

Character: Galaxy Steve

Abilities: can fly, teleport, use lightning, create things... (It's difficult to explain everything he can do because he's very powerful and can do a lot of stuff, mostly related to the galaxy, time and space, and it's existence... I'm ending it here, thank you for reading! He's complicated.)

Personality: goofy, cheerful, hungry, friendly, clueless at times, troublesome, powerful to the point it's frightening, sometimes gullible, a loyal friend, easy to make him cry, simple-minded, and does things that make you wonder if his head is empty! But we love him all the same. 🥰

[featherwingfox]

The first real villain of the Steve Saga! Why was it that when I drew THIS dude of all characters that I have a difficult time? IT REALLY WAS A NIGHTMARE!!!! For the life of me, I couldn't figure out how to pose him! This was a terrible day for drawing, my art was not arting! WHY?!?! Why must these days happen at all?! Hang in there fellow artists that have a day like this one when your skills just aren't activated...

Anyway, I drew his face, I'm happy with it, I drew his hair, also happy with it. I got his darkness pattern, happy all around! But the rest of him was just not working, not happy about it, so I did the only thing an artist struggling could do. I covered it up. It was my only solution! 😭 Don't worry! You WILL see what he looks like without a kingly cape. I plan on making some digital art after these traditional drawings. These traditional drawings are to introduce what everyone looks like without shading or other details, just a general image of their appearances. The digital art gives me more control of the colors and I can adjust space to draw, so even if I, for some reason, have another nightmare of a time drawing him, I will eventually get him done right! He can't escape the MIGHT OF MY PEN forever!!! ✨🖋️✨

A little iffy about his cape design. It looks fine and all but I think I can do better. So now he has multiple capes! 🪄👑👑👑(There isn't a cape emoji, just pretend it is...) What kind of king would he be if he didn't have more than one? I'm sure whoever the tailor is can make enough robes that suit his high quality taste. It is also because I just want to draw a bunch of different designs for his capes. It would make sense if he had that many too. Now the real question is, does he have a new cape every day or a cape specifically made for different things? A cape for attacking people, a cape for sitting on the throne, a cape for looking over his malicious experiments, a cape for fighting in, eating, perhaps he even has a cape he sleeps in?

Despite my unfortunate day of drawing, I really like his face... (Never thought I'd say that about him 😑) I wanted his face to look sharp and his expression cold and intimidating. Look at him, how colder can you get? He doesn't care about anyone! Exactly how I wanted him to be. If anyone who hasn't seen the OG series and doesn't know how bad he is, one word: genocide.

I can't wait for the day I'm ready to post the comic, I plan on making him a worthy villain to fear! More feared then the next design I made. It wasn't a nightmare, but there was something I wanted to reverse. 🙃 See you tomorrow!

Story: Steve Saga (Fan Rewrite)

Character: Nightmare Steve/King

Abilities: summon lava, lightning, can fly, has super speed, can give you nightmares (how fitting), darkness, and created his own dimension. It was named after him. (The Nightmare Dimension)

Personality: Menacing, cruel, evil, domineering, intimidating, and corrupt.

[featherwingfox]

Y'all look at his face- I mean, uh... Hat! (Shhh, he's sensitive!)

I'm done making fun of him.

I love fedoras. One of the coolest hats I've ever seen. It was one of the WORST THINGS TO DRAW!!!! It looks amazing now, but the process was quite the long journey. It didn't help that I had no pose figured out yet either, but I managed to get it done right! The hand was iffy but it looks good now too. I'm still not sure why I can draw hands better than other things, like hats, when it's one of the many things artists are cursed with being unable to draw! Oh well! I guess my drawing process for hands is a good one?

Anyway, I kept his attire the same as in the OG series. I think I did a good job interpreting the pixels on the Minecraft skin. He's just got some plain short, pants, and a cool coat. Or maybe it's a really long cardigan. Since he doesn't have pockets... Everyone point and laugh at him!!! 🫵🤣

The colors were easy to gather, just black and gray. But his pallet almost blends in too much. I pulled up a picture as a reference, which made it easier, and it helped me know which spots are darker or lighter. His... ahem.... "Face" was the easiest part to draw and color. Point and laugh again btw, 🤣🫵 and I'm sure you have noticed, his wrist had the fade thing. I like the Rainbow Quest design of Faceless so I thought his skin would look like that underneath. You probably won't see much of it though since he has long sleeves. Maybe during some battle he'll get tears in his shirt to see more of the cool design. But for now he's going to stand here and pretend he's cool. He may look like a detective but let me tell ya, the only crimes you're gonna solve are the ones he's committed.

This was a simple design that I had fun drawing. When will the next post go up? Only time will tell... 🕰️

Story: Steve Saga (Fan Rewrite)

Character: Faceless

Abilities: if he makes contact with another being he can change his appearance and voice to look and sound like the target, for short we'll call it shape shifting, can fly, and use lightning.

Personality: cruel, malicious, selfish, vile, evil, clever, cowardly, and tricky.

[featherwingfox]

A pure being of Darkness! If any of the villains were the evilest, I say Void takes the cake.

His pose took some retries but otherwise went well. Hands weren't easy but there was no struggle. I got the proportions right, the clothing was easy to figure out since I had his OG Minecraft skin as a reference. Which by the way, I don't think he has pants. He's pure darkness in a hoodie, nothing else. 😐

Okay, so the rest of this drawing, his face is the easiest thing I had to draw... but the hood... That stupid, fluffing, HOODIE, gave me SO MUCH TROUBLE!!!! I SPENT A WEEK ON THAT THING!!! I hated drawing his hoodie! It looks so good now, but the process was such a terrible experience it might top NIGHTMARE STEVE!!! You could say it made a void in my heart after this. I love hoodies, but not that much... to let it slide, Void, you are the worst. And I'd say it to his face! He's done nothing against me and would probably say, "I have no idea who you are," but I'd really give it to him for this! I'd murder him with words! This dumb hood, took a week to get right. It was the worst time for drawing it seems. I almost forgot the second worst part! HIS FOOT!!! WHY?!?! I COULDN'T MAKE IT LOOK CORRECTLY, SUCH A NUISANCE! I eventually got this and decided good enough, I don't want to spend another second on that. Didn't take a week for the love of pickles, but was unnecessarily a tough time getting it right. Geez these major villains are out to get me!!!

AUGH! 😤

Besides that, the face and hood is my favorite part. The face, which is just eyes really, did take a while, nothing like the HOOD, but he still has a face to angle and that is important even if you can't see the outlines. The angle of the eyes do help you imagine it, so I'm happy with it. Lastly there is the colors the most peaceful coloring I've done for the Steve Saga characters. Light Steve doesn't count because he isn't colored in, but was the most peaceful to draw. ☺️ Back to Void, he's mostly black and dark gray but I added a hint of brown to his hoodie. When I looked at the reference it looked a little brown so there we go! I finally got this dude finished. I post the drawings in the order they are done but the pages are not in the same order. This page is right after Galaxy Steve, but at the time he was not finished, I didn't even have the full sketch yet. And you can see the dates or when I finish the design in the top right corner. Pretty recent, the Steve Saga Fan Rewrite posts are probably going to get slower from here on out. I will also be spending my time working on other projects, like my current original story Positives & Negatives (has nothing to do with the Steve Saga ones, came from my little brain myself! 😀) as well as other things I'm making. Like animations/animatics I want to make. So please be patient dear Sky People! Thank you for checking out my art and maybe other stuff! Hope you have a lovely day or night, see you next time on another post with a new face! 🫥🔲

Personality: manipulative, patient, powerful to the point it's frightening, tough, confident, taunting, vicious, intimidating, and evil! At this point who isn't?
