Bit late but it’s done, and I’m never doing a full colored rendered piece with 30 figures again. I applaud ANY ask blog creators out there for doing this on the regular with those millions of character panels.
Im gonna spare u guys the sentimentality to try and keep this post short but WOW. CONGRATULATIONS TO NORT AND FLY FOR EVEN JUST DARING TO MAKE SUCH A WORK OF ART THAT IS MYTH OF THE MACHINE. This comic genuinely never ceases to amaze me with its writing, art, presentation, meticulous detail and thought and I could go on. But for the most part, I think to me it has mostly shown how through sheer force of will and passion people can create masterpieces, and how that can cause a ripple effect in inspiring and awakening so many other amazing wonderful people to make art. I can say with full sincerity that my life has indefinitely been changed for the better by not only getting to witness but also experience that ripple effect.
I only officially caved and read the full thing in September I think, and I remember how everyone was going INSANE when each of the stars were revealed. Cuphead had just been shot and now Sonic the Hedgehog is here. I drew this up to the coloring stage after the interlude finished then gave up, so that’s why all the characterizations are a bit wonky and the art is so old (dear celestials help me i was still drawing Boris BALD). I based the interactions like 90% off of these charts Nort drew for us, and it was also my first time drawing most of these fellas and had to guess with a lot of the colors (sry i thought Sheba was wearing a denim jacket this whole time). And then I finally stopped procrastinating two days ago and finished the rendering lol.
This is based off a 1940s painting titled ‘The Gossip’ by Norman Rockwell btw.
{refrence and alts under the cut}
I treid to make steam come outta mickeys ears but i didn’t know how to do that and not make it look like he was farting outta his ears.
Yea I was flipping through old sketchbooks and found this ‘delightful’ little interaction. Im probs gonna redraw more of my old ideas bc some made me chuckle (these are all so corny and self indulgent)
Kinda my first officially done kinda comic so a lot of the pannels are wonk sry
