I'm super surprised and touched to have made a cameo in Th3Pooka's "Hermit Fam" animation that is up on Impulse's channel.

What an epic project, what a dream mashup. Ely and Pooka absolutely smashed it.

Thank you so much, anon <3

That really means a lot. I hope that whatever fandom you find yourself now, you're having a good time. Thank you for sticking around to see my art!

Oh boy, I'm gonna have to do some work and start cross-posting to here again with the direction Twitter is going... Anyways hey! I'm still around 👋

in my animation courses we had to make a bracket of our top sixteen artists who have influenced our art style and process and you were one of the first ones i thought of :)

thank you for sharing your work :)

Awh geez, that means a lot to me, thank you ;w;

I actually studied animation myself! Best of luck with your studies and HAVE FUN <3

im so glad you took the steps towards fixing your design! so many people will probably say it's just a persona theyre drawing but im happy you took the time to realize tango didn't like it :)

Yeah, I’m glad you’re happy about it anon.

Honestly I’m just glad that I’m talking openly about all this. I’m hoping it will bring more awareness to this whole thing instead of artists having to find out the way I did. I’ve been seeing so many people attacking fanartists and complaining about them drawing Tango with horns when, they should remember, most of us don’t watch his livestreams! For me it’s a case of timezones and bad internet.

(addressing general fans now) If you are wanting to make an artist aware of how Tango feels, the best way to do that is to show the words actually coming out of his mouth. Show them those clips I provided a few asks ago. Demanding them to stop drawing Tango with horns is really not the way to go. That’s what people did with me, and that just made me want to draw him with horns even more, out of spite. It’s gonna take a while for the non-horned Tango to catch on, so be patient with artists. I’m super new to the fandom but from what I can tell, horned Tango has been around for a really long time, and that image isn’t going to change overnight.

Please be kind, we are all just here to have fun and enjoy some dorks playing Minecraft.

I'm really blown away by how technically impressive your art is. Imo cartoonier styles are way harder, since you have to know how to distill design elements and anatomy down, and goodness does that shine with your more proportionate style too. Your art is readable and vibrant, the lines are confident and clean, and perhaps most importantly when it comes to the hermits: overflowing with personality!! Thank you for sharing it with us!!

Oh wow, this really and truly means a lot to me! I have to agree with you, you can draw cartoony stuff without knowing much about anatomy, and some people manage to pull if off, but most of the time that leads to having certain weak points, be it with angles/perspective/etc. And you can study anatomy and draw something super impressive and realistic, but then it’s difficult to give the piece any more personality than a photograph (again, some people manage to pull this off and I am in complete awe at their talent). But my favourite art styles are always the cartoony ones that have a depth of knowledge of anatomy, structure, space and how to manipulate shape and form to create something that is incredibly stylised and appealing.

I’ve worked for years on trying to develop my style into something that’s this style of cartoony- something that is uniquely mine, while still drawing from my sources of inspiration. And, I’ll admit, I’m nowhere close to where I want to be yet. Maybe I’m too self critical but I just really want to improve. However, knowing that there are people out there who are enjoying the efforts of my journey so far, it really helps motivate me to continue! So thank you so much!
