Pencils Down was such a fun episode of Game Changer, I just HAD to try some of the drawing challenges out! For each prompt, I set up whatever background I was drawing on, and then set a timer for 3 minutes and drew like the wind. I’m adding blank versions of each “canvas” at the end, so anyone who wants to can participate as well!
LP Artistry (design and title a vinyl album cover for Sam): I was so happy to find this picture of Sam. I immediately knew I was going to make him a cheeky baby, basically the same exact energy he has as a gameshow host
Tramp Stamps (think early 2000s and permanent regrets): When I think 2000s I think of tamagotchi, Nickelodeon, and classic commercials like the Quiznos rat-filled fever dream. Plus I can never pass up a good double entendre
The Next Big Thing (pitch your best get-rich-quick idea): Hello, sharks. Aren’t you tired of reservedly nibbling your pasta for fear of staining your shirt? Well no more! Slurp safely and to your heart’s content with the Spa-guard-i ™️! The super easy, dinner plate-sized fork attachment that slides easily over any fork and shields your clothes from errant sauce splatters. Twirl your spaghetti without fear, with the Spa-guard-i™️!
New Pokémon (design, name, and describe one power of a new Pokémon): Introducing Snide, a nosey little guy who’s not overly popular in social settings. Watch out for his physic attack, Passive-Aggression!
Last-Minute Monster (the Dimension 20 needs a finale-worthy Big Bad and fast): For this one I used a fantasy villain name generator and got Duke Church. Following Brennan’s criteria of terrifying, emotionally resonant, and mechanically interesting, I concocted a monster who will appear toxically masculine, but in fact be uncomfortably submissive & masochistic. Duke Church is incredibly tone-deaf (terrifying), indicative of the dangers of enforcing a gender-binary (emotionally resonant), and he can’t be defeated with damage as that only makes him stronger/hornier (mechanically interesting)
This was so incredibly fun to do, I hope they do more Game Changer episodes like this in the future. Here are the blanks so you can play along yourself! 😊
i made a post the other day about how i’m fortunate enough to be in a financial situation where i can afford my dropout subscription every month, but i know people aren’t in the same situation as me.
So i’ve decided i’m going to be gifting a month (possibly two months) subscriptions to random people who want to enter. All you have to do is put your url on the google doc and in a week i’ll randomise a couple winners and dm you on here :)
I need to be as poetically funny as hozier saying “be quiet silica gel cant you see im starving” and just as monologue funny as brennan lee mulligan yelling at sam reich about points and birds and bird points
This is one of my all time favourite Brennan sketches. It has everything you want from him. All the different cadences, volumes and timbres of his voice, the eloquent monologue, then angry voice he does when he says, "What's up Rekha? Can I help you!" To me it's the perfect Brennan sketch. It's so quintessentially Brennan even without looking at the credits you know who wrote it.
i know there’s a few people who aren’t in the financial situation to afford a dropout subscription every month, and i am very fortunate to be able to be in a financial situation where i can.
and i would really like to gift some people like 1 or 2 month subscriptions to dropout but i’m not really sure how to go about doing it
