I’m hyperfixated on Ape Escape so here’s some plushies I made (my Comms are also open FOR REAL this time)

The Pipotron trio have always been my favorite, particularly Blue. I made all 3 bc I couldn’t resist lol

These gorls are my OCs, Marine and Proto(type). In the fanfic I’m writing tho she’s referred to as Green by some but Proto by most.

And finally, everyone’s favorite albino boi, Specter. I used his Million Monkeys design bc that one is my favorite.

Also, bonus— my brother paid me to revive one of my ancient childhood OCs in the form of a plush. I’d rather have forgotten Pipotron Orange existed, but $70 is $70 😂

i dont get offended at white people jokes even though im white because: 

i can recognize white people as a whole have systemically oppressed POC in america, which is where i live 

most people when they make white people jokes only mean the shitty white people and i am not a shitty white person 

im not a pissbaby

Pip's Process for Making Comics :)

Hi everyone! I know I'm rarely on here, but I've decided to share my process for my webcomic in case it could help anyone. I've been building my story for many years in my head (it's a paracosm that's been with me basically since I could hold a pencil), and it wasn't until about 2021 that I was finally able to start getting it down, and this is the process that works for me. This process is more aimed at super-lengthy ongoing multiple-arc type things, so those with massive fantasy epics, this is for you!

1) Make an outline for the arc. I make a list of each episode, and the basic events that happen in them. I typically have 11-13 chapters per arc and 2-3 focus-events happen in a chapter, because I try not to have "too much going on". Breaking down the focuses in a list is also useful in that you can gauge the flow of the focus and not have it "jump around" too much, and also balance how much you focus on one character to another, etc.

(As you can see, this is very basic, but keep in mind I've had "the party episode" in my head for years so I didn't need to write out a scene I already knew like the back of my hand in the list)

2) Once the list is done, start writing the episodes in a script-like format. If you're doing your project solo, literally no one has to understand the script but you. Write it how you envision it in a way you can understand. And don't be afraid to stray slightly from the list! Do whatever feels more natural.

3+) After you've scripted the final scripts for each episode, write down ANOTHER list of all the significant things that DO happen, so you can reference back to it in the future to avoid things like plotholes and accidental repeat of events. You could also, instead, edit the original list from step 1; I just personally like to have multiple documents so I can see changes and where they happened. 4) This is where the drawing begins. What I do is make REALLY rough drafts for every page in each episode. Think kinda like thumbnailing for storyboards; I just scribble down the basic events I want happening, the area of the dialogue (with the beginning few words of the line, to keep track) And after that, it's clean(ish) sketches*, lineart, coloring, etc. I typically do all the roughs in order, and then do the same with clean sketches, and then do the rest page-by-page. (*EDIT: I wan't to elaborate that I highly recommend adding the text in as early as you feasibly can so you don't have to worry about text fitting, as you can work around it)

IMPORTANT NOTE! DO NOT be afraid to stray from ANY of the initial writing! If your script's dialogue is fine but doesn't have enough pages, make more pages! As you can see, I had to split what was originally going to be 1 page. There was even a crucial scene in chapter 3 of my comic that didn't even happen in the scripts, but it needed to. If you feel a change is needed, do it! Don't restrict yourself too much; see the script as more of a guideline.

So yeah, there's my method. I know it was unprompted and all, but for so many years I felt hopelessly lost when trying to get this MASSIVE story down, and my goal of posting this is because if there's the slightest possibility this could help someone, I want it to do that. :) Hopefully this helps someone, but now is my time to say that I'm by no means a professional; I'm self-taught and I've only been making the actual comic for 3-4 years, however I have 5 out of 10+ of the arcs fully scripted :) If you're interested in my comic, you can read it here! If you check it out, know that that means the world to me ;w; Have a nice day/night <3

Hi everyone! It's been a while since I posted on here but I just wanted to say that chapter 3 of my original webcomic is out now! This story means THE WORLD to me, it's been my special-interest-paracosm since I was a child, and it would make me more happy than ANYTHING if someone checked it out. I'm currently working on chapter 4 and there's SOOOOO much I have planned and I'm so hype for it!!! You can read it on comicfury here!

Thank you for taking the time to read this :3

Reblogging with the remaining art~

Chapter 6

Chapter 7

Chapter 8 ❤️

I decided to forgo the art for chapter 1 as I don’t feel like it and it already have the “cover” image anyway. There’s ooooone more additional piece for chapter 5 that I’m working on but I’m not sure I’m gonna get to finish it before this hyperfixation fizzles out entirely, as it’s unfortunately beginning to fade 😢 But if I do finish it, I’ll edit this post. :)

As usual, I had an AMAZINGLY fun time hyperfixating on this ship (and my boi Percy in general) and I’m sad to see it go, but it’s okay; I know it’ll be back some day 🥹

I know that I’m literally the one person shipping this shit rn and it makes me happy enough that I literally don’t care if anyone reads or likes it/my content for it, I’m just metaphorically and literally vibing in the corner with my headphones on as I do what I love …If only I had this level of motivation to create my original series 😭

If you did happen to enjoy this, lmk in the form of a like/comment/reblog, as while I don’t expect anyone to do those things, it is nice when they happen :3

Until next time~ 🩵

So… I’m making this post because I’m experiencing hardcore PercivAlister brainrot— so much so that I’m writing yet another fanfic!

Unlike my old fic, this one isn’t self-indulgent OOC trash (at least not imo) and the amount of time and energy I’ve been investing into it is UNREAL. It’s my first fanfic that I feel actually proud of for the plot, and if you want to read it, here it is! (*Note: Percy is OOC in the way that he's not immediately down for killing, but I tried to keep him fairly IC character-wise, at least as far as his personality goes)

Also, I made a cover for it, and I plan to do even more art for the chapters! I’m so passionate about this fic and if even one person takes the time to read it that would make me SOOOOO happy!! But even if no one does, I am having a BLAST with this hyperfixation again, and that’s the only part that truly matters. I’ll continue to create for it, even if only for me uwu

Back with some art, and there’s more on the way~

Chapter 2

Chapter 3

Chapter 4

Chapter 5

Aaaaaand the rough sketch is about done for Chapter 6’s art, and chapter 8’s has completed lineart. So once those 2 are done, the only chapters left to illustrate will be 1 and 7 :D

Thank you for sticking around to read about my hyperfixating cringe-ass self, have a wonderful day/night~

Bowyer

[pipmcmayhem]

Turns out Bowyer is actually really fun to draw??

I gave him more of a tail- which he twitches and swishes when he's targeting something. Y'know, like a cat. For extra Nya~
