Ranchers after Jimmy realizes he's back

[hybbart]

Tried drawing them more like how I used to cause I felt like it was getting difficult to draw them lately.

[hybbart]

That sad birb could use a rancher to cheer him up

Probably... Too bad he doesn't have one!

Oh my god Jimmy's fit <3 <3 <3

Yeah I don't think I've actually mentioned it here yet. They're spending so much time in the city in relative safety surrounded by piles and piles of clothing and accessories, I decided Jimmy would try all the "interesting" clothes he couldn't justify spending money or backpack space on before while he can.

It's a bit harder for Tango since his selection's a lot smaller but I think he does so when he can also.

(it's def not an excuse to draw whatever fun outfit I'm feeling in the moment...)

Day 2826: The ranchers bring Torchy out with them while they work to see if he will behave. It's a partial success.

I feel like you can always tell when I use a reference image.

I love how this suggests that Mumbo had that stache since high school.

The moment he hit puberty it just spontaneously grew on his face.

How do you know the body didn't grow on the stache

Soooo this is random but, I LOVE how you draw Zed! Well, I love how you draw all of the little blocks into these characters that have so much life (yet so little thoughts behind the eyes sometimes hehehe)

How do you think the sheep man originally reacted to meeting the bird he’s been hearing allll about from the other Hermits who did the life games. Like, Tango deff yaped to Zed about Jim all the time because, well, ranchers gonna be ranchers about each other. But more importantly, what did JIMMY do meeting one of his ranchers best friends. I just want to pick your brain about what you think their first meeting was like lol

I think it’s funny to think Zed pretty much shovel talked him in the friendliest and scariest way possible before either of the ranchers realized their feelings. But I’m just curious to hear what you think their interactions would be like, ya know?

It's really important to go through the proper protocol to correctly introduce a new creature into your Zedaph's environment otherwise he will attack and hide. This includes placing the new creature into its own room and allowing your Zedaph to smell them under the door, if you can allow Zedaph to experiment on them from opposite sides of a secure screen, and if Zedaph begins to act up quickly separate them and try again at a later date.

Which is to say I think Jimmy would leave their first meeting confused and mildly concerned and Tango being rather pleased "That went better than I thought!" "I think he spit at me..." "But he didn't kick you!"

that bigb drawing in the back of the 'tango' drawing gives me cuteness aggression he's so cuteee

Thank you (I think?) I wanted to give him a cuter more youthful hairstyle. I did give him a bit of a small beard but I might get rid of it cause like, what's the point of dressing them all up as their younger selves if not to free them from the heavy shackles of facial hair?

[hybbart]

This isn't the joke they made, but it is the joke I deserve

[hybbart]

They only get to see each other bi-annually, forgive him

Attack of Mikeitaa for @hybbart

You’ve posted a few animatics and animations in the past, do you have a set animation frame rate you like to work with or is it all go with the flow?

Oh gosh, first thing you need to know is that I've done like half a dozen animations total, I don't even know how to do the basic stuff without looking it up every time I do animations. So, I guess the answer is no lol. I usually set the timeline to 24 even thought I don't draw that many frames just because it makes it easier to correctly time frames with voice clips, and that's something that bothers me, the way I make animations is a complete mess of 'feels like there should be a new frame here' draw-it-as-I-go type deal. The farthest I plan ahead is drawing a frame and then deciding that I want a smoother transition between it and the last one and going back to add more. I think if an actual animator watched me work they would cry lol

[hybbart]

For the record, 15.3% of you got it and it was a trick question cause technically two of these answers could be considered correct

I just remembered a convo with my friend from like a week ago about an ask I got and now I need to know

[hybbart]

I mean they technically ALL started in Steve skin. The earliest version didn't allow custom skin

Yeah but in the original evo a couple people like grian managed to finagle their skins to work, though its been a couple years since I watched any of it so I might be misremembering. Either way, I think Jimmy deserves cute skinny jeans and a big fluffy t-shirt

[hybbart]

more teens. Everyone was talking about the captain america outfit but in the original evo Jimmy started witht he Steve skin if I recall

[hybbart]

Sorry they're teenagers to me this episode
