SORRY FOR THE INACTIVITY LOL Here's some graphic novel redraws to make up for it :]

[patiann345]

oh?

OH?

OH???

AWESOME COOL GREAT,, SO NOW WE HAVE A WHOPPING DING DING, UH, Z E R O CANON BLACK/POC CHARACTERS!! CAUSE ACCORDING TO MIKE D. HERE, BOOKS AREN'T CANON! JACOB, OUR ONLY CONFIRMED POC, NEVER SHOWED IN BATIM OR BATDR!!!

I feel fucking hysteric right now, you can NOT be serious! You have to be joking!! You HAVE TO BE JOKING.

Real cute that he's using the excuse of him voicing Thomas. Like yes, there's a conversation to be had about white VAs taking roles for POC characters. BUT REALLY??? THAT'S YOUR EXCUSE?? YOU VOICING A CHARACTER WHEN YOU HAD A LIMITED TEAM AND CAST, THAT'S YOUR EXCUSE????????

I'm going. to take this moment to let people educate themselves. I made a post about this before but now's a good time I think.

Educate yourselves, watch these when you can. Understand that this behavior, while probably some of the worst yet, is not particularly surprising coming from the devs. Particurly Mike.

and please, don't buy that fucking novel. Go read the original or the other two in the series. Adrienne Kress is an amazing author and it's terrible that her talent is wasted on an IP that has creators who do shit like THIS.

Hey fandom, who'd be interested in me hosting a map type fandom project to redraw the Dreams Come To Life graphic novel ?

I've had the idea to host something like this for a bit now. It would act as both a protest against the abysmal quality of the artwork and designs within the book, but also as a love letter to show Meatly and Mike that we want them to care as much as we do about their series. I'd love to hear your thoughts and if you'd be interested in participating.

So. The graphic novel, huh.

The artstyle is pretty good, I can’t deny it. Joey’s design is beautiful, very dilf-coded. Buddy looks… young. VERY young. He’s supposed to be 17 in Dreams Come To Life but somehow manages to look 12 ? Plus, I don't know how to describe it, but he looks very...angry ? Upset ? I don't think his bubbly, awkward personality appears much in the graphic novel, with his gaze being very...severe. He just looks weird, like a 40 years old in a child body. And Norman… Deep breath. His design is…no. Absolutely NOT it. I didn’t expected much but I still managed to be disappointed. I’ll wait until we get to see Sammy and Tom (especially) before expressing what I think is wrong with these designs but… yeah. I’m so sorry, Norman.

DCTL Graphic novel panel redraw

Giving what happenings in the fandom right now, i decide to bring more jds design at the table

Ahem the dev can't careless about representation ahem ahem

[fluffydevildarling]

I don’t know how many people this is going to reach but the dctl graphic novel designs are NOT canon please don’t go spreading them like they are.

I know some people don’t have twitter so I’ll just show this

Note that mike’s account is currently deactivated but. This was taken when still active.

When asked about the designs, they’re not canon, just like the rest of the books. Not to mention this book is even inaccurate to original dctl, only keeping the worst parts, such as the god awful Ink Demon characterisation. In the og and in the illusion of living, Sammy is said to be younger than Joey. But here he’s portrayed as older. The books are not only inconsistent with the games but they’re inconsistent with themselves, another reason they’re not canon.

Not my business if you like the book, do what you want, but don’t say these are canon cause they really aren’t.

[skits-n-snicker]

Sammy Lawrence but I edited my design of him over the original panel (and also some general panel changes)

Aaand as a bonus the infamous panel:

Aaaand that's it! :D Also sorry for the formatting of this post i have absolutely no idea how to resize images ;_;

NO FCKIN WAY SAMMY IS GOPNIK

Truly Семён Левонтьев

[keennachotraveler]

I absolutely love the hate on sammys graphic novel design cause I fully agree

But like I DO HAVE A REASON FOR NOT LIKING IT

Personally I just think it's stupid how little it aligns with the hints we're given about his appearance. It hardly even aligns with his description in the book they're adapting him from. He's described as pointy with his nose eyebrows and chin. He's so rounded it's CRAZY and another thing is he's said to have longer hair, that's the reason fan designs have it and nope he's got basic old man hair.

This isn't me saying I don't wanna see him look like an old man cause I do but like not like THAT yk. It just,, doesn't feel like its the same character.

It just like,, feels like they just designed a random old man and went 'yep that works!' With no thought gone into it

Idk though, maybe I'm just being nit picky

Anyway it's real bad but here's my attempt at a redesign based off of canon descriptors

[smiledback]

hey is my copy fucked up or has anyone else seen this colouring error with buddy because jesus

[theinkbunny]

…… who is this. That is not Sammy. THAT IS NOT HIM

[archer-kacey]
