woah psychonauts art in 2024

if u just wanna look at the art and scroll ur good to do so :] if u wanna know where i’ve been, read below!! 💖

soooo, hi!!

i know, its been awhile since you’ve properly heard from me. i’m sorry :((

i got into psychonauts near the end of HS / beginning of college, and between COVID, graduation, and all the major changes in my life, it was an amazing place to just make art i loved and explore stories with the characters i love :]

as time went on, i began to step away from here to focus more on college and my work

i also got into different things since then! Barry, HLVRAI, just to name a few

i haven’t ever forgotten my love for psychonauts, not for a second, in fact, my inspiration for coming back here was watching a play through by a new streamer i found

watching someone react to it for the first time just made me fall in love with it all over again.

and now, here we are

i graduated, and now i’m fresh in the world trying to figure out what to do with my life

I’m currently figuring out a job and all that gross adult stuff, but even now in time of great change, i’m drawn back to the world of psychonauts

now the big question — what about the riptide au?

i’ll be honest: i reread riptide, there’s parts i like, parts i didn’t, and parts i completely forgot what i was setting up for

ive matured as a writer and storyteller since riptide’s conception, and i think it needs a refresher / boost

i think you can already see that from tholomew’s design — i tweaked a few things while i was drawing it (especially his shoes oh my god i had no idea what i was doing with his shoes before)

i haven’t forgotten any of psychonauts, even as my life heads in different directions. i think, right now, i’m gonna clear out my inbox for a fresh start. if you have any questions about the new riptide au, i’ll try to answer them when i have a spare moment in my day 💖

but yeah, i’m not dead, just got so busy and caught up with life i disappeared for a bit

but here i am again! four years later

but yeah, thats about it, thank you for sticking around :]

good morning everybody

[thefurriestofchows]

will you ever continue riptide like ever

i will! i promise <3

things are just kinda tough rn, but im still constantly thinking about tholomew and raz + riptide!!

riptide au means the world to me, id never abandon it

ik i havent been on here a lot bleh, just got really busy irl and that kinda stuff. id love to finish my tholomew and raz animatic soon c:

[thefurriestofchows]

and what if i finished a tholomew and raz sketch i found

[thefurriestofchows]

perhaps i should replay psychonauts 2

[thefurriestofchows]

are you dead??? please don’t be dead!!! we miss you dammit :,(

still here! :]

[thefurriestofchows]

i dont talk about it enough but i find it funny that tholomew speaks with a british accent in a lot of his voice claims

[thefurriestofchows]

how does raz end up in these situations

[thefurriestofchows]

Are you and Shands dating or somethin?

we are minecraft married

[thefurriestofchows]

all this psychonauts merch is the universe’s way of apologizing for not giving psychonauts any awards at the game awards

[thefurriestofchows]

this is just fact

[thefurriestofchows]

If you don't mind me asking, in the riptide au, do raz's water arms act of their own accord?

they’re kinda like an extension of himself!

he’s actively using his hyrdrokinesis while using them, but it’s kinda like a subconscious thing he doesn’t need to think about. it comes naturally to him like breathing.

kind of like having an extra set of (very very flexible) arms. (basically he has more control over the hand of galochio)

(extra note: while maligula had her water serpents, raz instead has his water arms)
