Actually unintentional, but I do see how the stylization might seem that way.

HERE IT IS ALL FINISHED!!! AHHHH!!!!!
THE FAMBILY...💖
I've been planning this illustration for over a month now - in April, I had the patreon folks vote on a theme for a big gravity falls print, and camping was the winner. Even just planning the general composition took a while, figuring out where I wanted all the characters to be. Once I shored up a good thumbnail, I made it tighter twice before putting it on paper, and working in pencil. The pencil drawing part took me four sit down sessions of drawing, and then coloring the scan took another couple of days. I worked SO DANG HARD to finish this monster before mc3, and by some miracle, I did.
Overall, I'm really happy with how this illustration turned out! I feel like it does a good job of expressing my love for the show. I'm really glad people were enthusiastic about it at the convention - I had a lot stop and look at it with these really awestruck, sad wet goo goo eyes expressions LOL! They did this: 🥺 with an actual human face dskjhlsdfkjh!!
Here's a link to my bigcartel store, where you can get one! Also, info to keep in mind: members of my $5 patreon tier get 15% discount on their orders when they use a special code.
Also, side note: thank you to my expert names and wordplay consultant for giving me the name "nitelite moth." YOU KNOW WHO YOU ARE :)
Under the cut: Uncolored pencil version, and sketches.

"I miss 2D animation, 3D is so lifeless!"
No, no - from an avid and avowed lifelong 2D animation lover - what you miss is stylization.

Something animated to be "hyperrealist" isn't appealing to me anymore because it all starts to look very... samey. It'll age.
But if you have a proper sense of your style...

average Pomni expression throughout the entire show.
Here's a BTS of a rig I'm building in Moho, thought it would make a great first post!
