Could you draw Annie in her winter outfit from Saint Nicholas?

Didn't expect such an underrated character for an ask, but this was fun! Man, I love colours

ANOTHER VEGGIETALES FAN!!!!!!!!! OMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMG I am so happy there is still a fandom for Veggietales!!!!

SORRY I MISSED THIS! But yeah, the fandom is actually bigger than you'd think! Most of the fandom is on YouTube. Do you know about the Rack, Shack & Benny Remolded fan project? A bunch of VeggieTales fans worked on that. You can find some cool people in the credits of that video. I'd start off there if you're looking to find more VeggieTales fandom people! But yes, it's so great that there's still fans of VeggieTales even after the series plummeted with the podcast and the firing of Phil and the gang. It's really the fans who are keeping VeggieTales alive right now.

Um what other fandoms are you currently into besides Veggietales, if you don't mind my asking? Are you also into any toons or/and animated movies and such?

So uhhhh, I lost basically all of my interests/hyperfixations during the past seven-ish months after getting into a really bad depressive state, so I don't know how to answer this. I only got my VeggieTales interest back during February. The one that slowly came back recently was my Jesus Christ Superstar obsession. I've always been a fan of musicals and JCS is my current favourite.

I actually went to see the JCS 50th anniversary tour yesterday. The cast was INSANE. Judas has always been my favourite character in the musical, but Pilate, Caiaphas, and Herod slayed in this production. 10/10. The show had this really cool symbolism with having silver paint on Judas' hands to represent his crime and the guilt he feels about doing it:

Before I became a numb zombie, I was big into the Scott Pilgrim anime! I've never really been into cartoons, so that's really the only animated show I watched besides VeggieTales. My friend has been trying to get my to watch Hazbin Hotel, but I haven't gotten around to that yet. I've also always loved Nintendo games like Animal Crossing, Mario, and Kirby.

Generally, I watch more YouTube than TV. I watched a lot of Michael Reeves, Offline TV, Game Theory, the Starkid musicals, and many different art channels. I used to keep up with the Hatchetfield lore (Starkid's reoccurring universe with three musicals and other extra content) before my mental health went downhill. But I did really love those musicals.

I'm not in any fandoms for animated movies, but I keep up with the new Disney and Pixar movies sometimes. I didn't like Wish though, do not recommend.

SPOILERS FOR THE RACK SHACK & BENNY REMOLDED FAN PROJECT! IF YOU HAVEN'T WATCHED IT YET, GO ON YOUTUBE AND WATCH IT RIGHT NOW!

... Are they gone? Okay, now I can show you the screenshot redraws I made!

AND HERE'S ONE OF MY FAVOURITE FRAMES IN REMOLDED:

They just look so cool.

But yes, amazing work to Gourd Animations and everyone who was on the Remolded team! You all worked very hard and made something that will go down in VeggieTales fandom history. You all deserve to be proud of what you accomplished!

What's up?

Thanks for asking! I don't know if you meant to ask this casually or if you wanted a genuine answer. Real answer is I haven't been doing so great recently. This has been the lowest and darkest point of my life actually haha. But I'm getting better and people saying little comments like these always brighten my day. So thank you.

Have a little head pat.

Your art makes me way too happy. It feeds my bizarre 15+ year long hyper fixation. Do you take requests or suggestions? I'd love to see Ichabeezer and Mr. Nezzer just sort of chilling together.

Ahh thank you, I'm glad my art makes you happy! Here are the boys and a special cameo:

And a bonus for answering this so late:

Has anyone noticed how different the silly song announcer sounds in the old episodes versus the later ones? Here's the explanation I came up with for that:

And then Archie gradually dropped the voice over time, opting to use his normal voice instead. That's why the announcer sounds like Archie in the later episodes.

Also, here's the explanation for the Biscuit of Zazzamarandabo:

Archie announces the silly songs nowadays, but Scallion 1 takes over whenever Archie's in a silly song.

This is also a redraw of one of the very first VeggieTales drawings I've ever done:

I love them.

Happy Easter, everyone (regardless of how you celebrate it) :)

I don’t know if you heard this or not but there is going to be a new larryboy movie coming out in 2026

Yes! I've known about it since the first article released. I wanted to wait until we got more info before I said anything.

After hearing Phil's side of it, I'm honestly not looking forward to it. I don't think they're gonna ask Phil to be a part of it. If they do, they'll probably just ask him to do the voices, and I know Phil would definitely decline that offer (and I don't blame him).

We know they reached out to Mike, but we haven't heard his answer yet. I'll respect whatever his choice is, but I can't imagine a Larryboy movie (or any VeggieTales movie) without Phil.

That coupled with Leslie Ferrel's stance on VeggieTales being a preschool show, you're gonna get a superhero kids movie with cheesy lines and a basic plot.

I know Valentine's Day was last week, but here's a quick drawing of Larry giving Valentine's Day cards to his friends:

My birthday also passed a few days ago (the 20th)!

You're never too old to watch VeggieTales :)

We are the fairy peas of Christmas!

Could you please do Boyz in the sink for me?

YESYESYESYES

I'm surprised I haven't drawn these guys yet.

This is the only explanation I can think of for the opening dialogue in the theme song.

[nostalgic-manatee]

I did it! 1.5 more pages and then Jonah will be finished. That'll be the end of part one for the Veggietales character drawing challenge.

And I still gotta draw the angels. Oh boy.
