"Did you get sick?": nope, i was fine. Everyone talking abt throwing up from bad tastes is a coward tbh, even with how absolutely Wrong it tasted on every level and how my brain immediately said I was about to fucking die and I needed this Out Of Me I didn't throw it up. I was fucking stoic.

"Did you get sick (long term)?": Nope. Like I said, bacteriophage virus. I had been studying this thing for a while, as well as the bacteria it infects - I knew for certain it couldn't affect me. Nor my microbiome. The bacteria clade affected isn't found in the human gut unless something has gone very wrong, which wasn't the case for me at the time lmao. The only thing it killed was my perspective on how bad is bad tasting

"What color was it?": Kinda brown

"Did your lab director ever find out?": He did not. Like I said, I was beautifully stoic. And also left the lab to go down an entire fucking water bottle immediately afterwards. (It did not help. I was tasting that shit for a week.) Also, it was leftover sample to be discarded anyway that I drank - it just so happened that instead of a biohazard wastebin, it was disposed of in my mouth

"WHY?":

For science.

[chiscribbs]

I had an idea for a one-off Rise episode plot and just wanted to quickly sketch up some visuals for it.

The plot goes as follows: Donnie attempts to invent a cloning machine and, due to some kind of science-y mishap, ends up cloning himself...a lot. But there's a catch to this - the clones aren't exact copies of Donnie, they each possess just ONE of the various facets of his personality (i.e. brainy, broody, sarcastic, passionate, dramatic, mischievous, etc.) and a small portion of his mystic powers. Don tries his darnedest to keep the whole situation under wraps while he searches for a way to fix it, but some of the more rambunctious Donnies quickly escape and begin stirring up trouble in the Lair, so it doesn't stay a secret for very long. To make matters worse - the real Donnie starts to slowly disappear (something having to do with his existence being divided among the Donnies or blahblahblah fake science explanation). So, while he and the scientist Donnies continue to look for a way to reverse the cloning effect, his brothers and Co. set to work gathering up all the other Donnies so they can put them back where they belong and keep Donnie Prime™ from vanishing.

Hilarity, wholesomeness (and some mild angst) ensues.

(Note: I meant to include April in that second-to-last image, but ran out of room. Just know that she, Splinter, and probably Casey Jr. are all there, as well.)

my dearest

[uhbasicallyjustmilex]

Do we know if Miles or Alex have any nicknames for each other?

oh boy. they have QUITE a few lol. i think miles generally calls alex "al", and then we also have this list of insanity:

“yoko” - at the end of the ep version of aviation

“the little diamond” - miles talking about alex’s new quiff

“you naughty turtle” - paradiso, amsterdam 2016

“baby” - multiple times

“you scampi fry” - the guardian

“the wirral squirrel/wirral riddler” - alex on absolute radio 2011, at around 10:50

“shavambacu” - is this what you wanted cover at rockwave athens 2016, at around 4:01

“the kane train” - lowlands festival 2016

“the boy” - not sure which interview this is from, but i think it's 2016

“my miles” - my rock interview 2016

“my alex” - live performance, 2011

“darling” - el país interview 2016

"the little prince" - NME interview 2008

if anyone has any others then please feel free to add them! in other words, they are ridiculously loud and ridiculously insane 🫠

Psst. What's your process for Comics? I would like to Know (Because your ISAT comics make me a little bit feral and I would like to learn)

Okay so the cop out answer is: i basically wing it every time since im very very new to making comics and my method is still evolving. but that's not helpful and i like to yap so ill talk through My Method anyway

So first of all: Ideas.

All my ISAT shit is like. extremely dialogue heavy & mostly focused on the same like. 3 topics and philosophical concepts over and over lbr. So mostly when it comes to drafting that I'll just let my brain bash the dolls together until i notice either 1. a fucking banger line (this usually becomes a punchline i then work backwards from when writing it out) or 2. that i keep coming back to the same like 'scene' in my mind.

(I'd love to know. how to make this work for like. OCs??? But I haven't quite cracked that one yet sorry)

For the former though what usually happens there is I write things out on my phone (this happened with the bonnie-centric ones a lot?) or i'll leave a voice note for myself. Or, if i'm at my computer it goes straight into notepad, which is where everything goes before i draw it.

so these are just like. Disgustingly strewn about on my desktop. But this is how i type up the comic scripts, which I do before i put the dialogue in csp because csp's text tool sucks ass, but you can see how these end up having Some Semblance of the final formatting? Some more than others. But they don't have much consistency in how i'm tagging the dialogue LOL. (bonus: one of these i never ended up making. because i come back to the same wells SO FREQUENTLY that it gets embarrasing to retread sometimes) Then I just... screenshot the notepad file and paste it into a csp window LOL.

So I've pulled up three comics just because theyre like, recent ones? (Links to all 3 -> x, x, x) And oh yeah immediately they're rather inconsistent. But this is the level of detail i do in my thumbnails. (Hello Golf Ball Loop) MOST of my long ass comics look like the first one though, and all of them follow the same thought process.

I will take the dialogue, and then just draw a panel that i think works with it. Then move onto the next line, and the next. Basically thinking mostly in speech bubble placement rather than anything? But I'll just keep... going downwards until it is done. You can see the speech bubbles tend to include either nothing or the vaguest indicator of what's inside them.

(The third one here is an outlier because iirc I actually had this very visual idea while drawing something else and went to go quickly draw it out so the text actually went right into CSP bc there was so little of it. But it was still panelled really sequentially for what action I know I wanted in each panel.)

Overall this is probably because of my habits from learning animation? I thumbnail as if im storyboarding, if that makes any sense. Or is any different to how people usually do it, anyway.

My friends who actually read comic books have told me off already for my vile leaning-tower-of-pisa bullshit formatting. I understand their criticisms because genuinely what the fuck am I doing half of the time? I like it though lol. It's a reflection of how stream-of-conciousness my workflow tends to be, but fuck if it means the aspect ratios aren't the wooooorst LOLL

Then i resize the thumbnails to be roughly 1920px wide, aspect ratio be damned. And at this point I usually also have to draw a big grid so that i can align the comic and make it not on a weird tilt. The most thought that goes in here is that I try to avoid making panels too samey in layout from line to line, and try to keep vaguely to making panels the same-ish height but a width of the page either in halves or thirds. Making it so they aren't completely inconsistent sizes does a lot for making things not look too sloppy.

My first sketch over the thumbnail usually is neat enough to be The Final Lines because I'm impatient. EXCEPT when i realise its going to get Fucking Complicated at which point i pull out the CSP models and my beloved cubes. Then i take a billion years to pose a consistent scene (and often realise where I need to cheat angles. Like for loop reaching down to sif's face. That doesn't make sense in 3d space so I had to cheat). This is basically par for the course whenever I want to do a scene where there's Any consistency in character positioning and they aren't just Talking Heads.

THEN. After the sketch (which was done with speech bubble placements in mind back at the thumbnail stage) I will finally put in the speech bubbles. This usually means re-sketching them, then putting the text down and doing all the typesetting (VCR mono looks very ugly in CSP a lot of the time so I fuck with the spacing of individual letters a lot) and THEN redrawing the speech bubbles around them properly.

Sometimes I'll fuck myself over here and have to move stuff but ideally, if I weren't working like some kind of fucking barbarian, I'd do the speech bubbles before finalising the lineart. But I don't on account of going straight from thumbnail to final lines. You'd do this during the sketch stage if you were normal.

then it's finally panel border time. And then when I get to this stage I just make like. another few new layers above everything but the text where i just clean up. Everything that I had neglected while drawing. So any extra white lines or places where i just think things look bad and i want to redraw them entirely. I will also sometimes literally make a flattened copy of an entire panel to just move it around slightly. It's a deeply evil part of the workflow and i apologise for it. But also it's the major benefit to drawing in straight black-and-white with no tones. It means i can just overdraw anything that is unclear in the end.

(and reposting again Links to all 3 -> x, x, x for easy comparison if u want it)

ANYWAY for further reading. I know I've already stated these before somewhere on my blog but for ease of access... The major inspirations for how my comics Look are as follows:

1. tumblr user Floralmarsupial's homestuck comics found [HERE]. She did a LOT of straight up black and white comics that are ingrained deep in my brain at this point. These are always in the back of my head.

2. Leo Fox [LINK] regularly gets really strange and esoteric with overlapping panels and unorthodox layout. I stared at these a lot when i was starting to make the first couple ISAT comics even if i'm not going nearly as abstract as him

3. tumblr user the-hydroxian-artblog's comic Hangin' Out [LINK] has GORGEOUS typesetting and their art in general uses a lot of speech bubbles that convey some really funny shit by just resizing the text in funny ways. Gold standard for emotive typesetting and also their lin weight and b/w illustrations are gorgeous.

4. sonic the hedgehog idw keeps me humble and reminds me to make the speech bubbles fucking SMALLER. if im left to my own devices i make speech bubbles and fonts WAY too big so reading a cleanly formatted professional comic book for children reminds me what i should be aiming for in legibility.

anyway hope this helps? the answer really is "fuck it we ball" tho

Hi everyone!

Some of my old lockdown doodle posts have been doing the rounds again recently (to great success, RIP my inbox) and I've noticed a lot of new followers recently as a result so I wanted to say hello 👋

I'm Jams, I'm an illustrator from the UK, I've been on Tumblr for a very long time and drawing for even longer. I draw mostly OC related content and you can check that out under the #my OCs tag, and each character has their own individual tag too. I also post #fanart stuff sometimes but less frequently. I also write sometimes (not as often as I'd like) and you can find my attempts here

My ask box is always open and I love to yap! I love building characters and stories and I love it when other people want to know more, so please don't be shy about asking me anything or just saying hello!

LIFE SERIES LORE RESEARCH POST (Grian-centric)

So I love research binges.

And I Adore Lore.

So here's the WHOLE GRIAN TIMELINE FOR LIFE GAMES!!

(btw "HC S[X] E[Y]" translates as Hermitcraft Season [X] Episode [Y])

3RD LIFE: Overlaps with HC-S7-E75-77, aka the end of Hermitcraft Series 7, this is AFTER Mother Spore shenanigans (HC S7 E37-E60) and during those episodes, Grian is focusing on finishing builds, doing his last S7 Charity Stream, playing games with Hermits, accidentally dropping what Actually Happened with Mumbo in front of "Grumbot Prime" as they call him in that ep. Then featuring both Grumbot and Jrumbot in the cinematic shots.

LAST LIFE: Overlaps with HC S8 E16-E21, E21 is also the episode where Mumbo says "Grian? Is the Moon Big?", Grian acts like nothing happened in following episodes, even saying "We don't know how this is happening [...] is it getting bigger or closer?"

[100 Hours happens after HC S8 ends, Grian starts the world alone, but the others come in in their own time and, after a while, decide to try and make Grian fail, though Grian dies mid-way and pretends to be "Grien" until he dies again.]

DOUBLE LIFE: Overlaps with HC S9 E14-E15, nothing big happens but you do have the Rift starting to make Lotsa Noise [Though the Rift doesn't open until HC S9 E24.] Afterwards, however, Grumbot arrives in E17, which is also when Ren is Crowned King.... (coincidentally, again, E24 is when the Rift Opens after King Ren's Defeat....)

LIMITED LIFE: Overlaps HC S9 E35 [REUNION: Mumbo and Grian Reunite.]

SECRET LIFE: Overlaps with two episode of Guess the Build, but happens just before Grian's final Hermitcraft Episode (HC S9 E50: FINISHED!)

REAL LIFE: The First "Prank" Episode. Between Grian's HC S10 E12 & 13.

[Guess the Build & Build and Seek happen between HCS10 E13-25, but then Grian ignores HC in favour of Guess the Build, Pico Park, "Friends try to Break Into my Castle" and an episode of Among Us that itself has similar stuff on Two Much Grian.]

WILD LIFE: Comes out after the Among Us vid and overlays with not only HC S10 E26, but also the start of Impossible Craft, which itself overlays with another Guess the Build.

Simple Life: The Second "Prank" Episode, gets followed by that "Visited Sweden for the Update" episode. Then HC S10 E32.

Hopefully I'll remember to update this when the next Traffic/Life Series goes out, but cghjcghjchj ye!! Hope this Helps yall with your Plunnies!!!
