What about... Argo's hair doing the floaty thing when he's emotional... like a genasi ghibli hair floof.......

This is GOD TIER anon

Did you know that in dnd 5e, water genasis' hair floats around their heads as if they were under water? Just a cool little detail.

I didn’t know that! That’s so cool :O I love the versions of Argo where his hair is just water. I’m too attached to drawing his hair in beachy waves but I love that so much

I NEED your opinion on this : I was wandering what are the best ways argo and fitzroy can unintentionally ( or intentionally ) fluster the other ! P-please , it's for science !! 😢😢

I wrote a fic about this based on a prompt but I definitely think either of them intentionally going shirtless around each other falls under this. Also Argo using his dexterous rogue skills in any context (but especially for mundane things - I think about him casually twirling eating utensils in his fingers at meals and parkouring during training and stuff a lot), Fitzroy wearing tight shirts, Fitzroy walking around the dorm with his hair unstyled and messy, any time the light catches Argo’s scales..... those are the kinds of things that immediately come to mind but honestly my heart says “anything either of them does at any time” lmao

Jdjsj fitz is little spoon, right?

Always. Even at 6’4” fitz is always little spoon

Their super exaggerated personas aside...which of the Thundermen do you relate to the most?

Ooh this is a good question..... honestly, probably the Firbolg. I too don’t tend to show strong emotion, especially aggression, until heavily provoked and I have peacemaking/keeping qualities and also, when presented with things that don’t seem relevant to me, question why I have to deal with them. And generally my demeanor is pretty similar to his as well. Thank you for this very thought provoking question!

Oh my goood your taz grad art has me in stitches over here i just. Hhh. About a year ago I started to take teaching myself art seriously and im gonna be using your comics as a reference for stuff i can improve on because it is EXACTLY the type of thing i want to be able to make someday. Ive been scared to make my first comic because i KNOW it will be chock full of mistakes so i dont want to start with something im too passionate about. Do you have any advice for an aspiring comic artist?

Oh my goodness thank you for the kind words!! I’d start off by saying don’t be afraid to make comics because that’s the only way you’ll get better! Even if you don’t end up liking it or posting it, any practice you do, you’ll be better for. Mine are definitely full of mistakes lmao and I’m definitely no experienced comic artist though I’d like to be one day. You just gotta do it, you know?

Secondly, playing off of that, just practice! And study comics as much as you can! When I was drawing the second comic I drew heavy inspiration from @rufftoon‘s comics and it probably wouldn’t have turned out as good if I hadn’t (the first one i don’t like nearly as much for that reason). Referencing other stuff is definitely one of the main ways to grow as an artist cause it’s impossible to pull good shit straight outta your brain unless you’ve spent the time building up your visual library. The other way is to draw as much as you can!

Do gesture drawings from life on a consistent basis, and draw a lot in nothing but pen cause that’ll help your brain learn how to make decisive, intentional strokes and your line work will improve a lot! Also, I made a Pinterest board for comic references that i refer back to a lot, so you can do that too. 

But bottom line, you have to start sometime and you might as well do it now! The more comics you make, the faster you’ll improve. And the most important thing - don’t get hung up on perfection, or even making “good” comics! Just have fun!!! You got a scenario you wanna see drawn out? Just draw it, even if it has to be simplified to your skill level. If you just make comics for the joy of making comics, you’ll get better without even realizing it. I know art is pain, but if you can enjoy the process without worrying too much about making it good, it’ll be a much easier process. That’s been the case for me, anyway. 

Good luck friend! I hope this helped!

I'm at this point I HAVE TO ASK!!! Who is Argo?? Who is Fitz?? Where are they from??? Where can I experience the lovelies???!! I'd love to know because they look so adorable and I'm wondering if this is a show or such (podcast? Movie? Lol no idea) that I can pop into and experience them!!🤧🤧💕

Hah they’re from the adventure zone podcast! But just the Graduation arc. Now is a great time to start it since there’s only 18 episodes so far!
