Get Some Freedom

get some freedom

(she/her for central character)

Get Some Freedom

I was really indecisive about the bg in this one so there's two versions... tbh visually I prefer this one but I think the black bg and red text makes more sense for the context of the image. feels scarier.

ocposting again and I have to shut the fuck up about forrester because so much of the story hinges on nobody knowing a damn thing about him but all you need to know is he's like this

A drawing of pacifica northwest, showing her with two different designs at different points in time. the first one is a winter outfit, where she mostly looks like herself in the show, but slightly more unkempt and frustrated. the second is a spring look, where she looks much more self-assured. text to the right of the 'spring' design reads in bullet points: "slight farmer's tan", "natural hair color becomes more obvious", "more beachy colors, blues & seafoam greens", and "cute little bob haircut (DIY)".
a sketch of young fiddleford mcgucket strumming a banjo on his knee, humming a tune.
a colored sketch of older fiddleford mcgucket wearing ford's sweater, clutching it around himself anxiously. there is a smaller uncolored sketch to the side where he's holding it and looking around as if expecting to be caught.
a sketch of mabel and pacifica, presumably having a sleepover, laying on the floor and talking. pacifica is clutching a pillow and looking away from mabel.
a drawing of younger ford pines clutching his own head in distress, his arm going down off the canvas only to "reappear" above him and hold his hair tightly. text above and behind his head reads "you do it to yourself".
a small sketch of mabel pines, wearing headphones from the lo-fi hip hop beats parody thumbnail that was posted on youtube.
a sketch of old fiddleford mcgucket and ford pines cuddling in bed, fiddleford kissing ford on his neck scars while his head cants up.

went around collecting a bunch of gf scraps I don't think I've ever posted... both old and new...

the first pic is from a comic I'd like to draw at some point in the future, just a little design update/test for pacifica

a sketch of college-aged ford looking away in thought, text above his head reading "wow I sure am having a good time playing my favorite game with my roommate!". fiddleford is in the background, surrounded by graph paper and dice, clutching his head in agony or desperation or both. text above him reads "I NEED TO FUCK HIM"

this is spoilers for my upcoming comic but that's okay I think it works without that context too

A couple of sketches of princezam, from Lifesteal. The sketch on the left is his season 5 appearance, showcasing his outfit. the text to the left of him reads "imposing "masculine" appearance", "clothing/armor to seem bulkier", "scary gauntlets". the sketches on the right are both zam without any armor on and then his season 6 appearance, where he is missing the fabric on his left arm and his wire-frame skeleton is exposed. the text above the naked zam reads "squishy articulate softbody doll underneath", and the one next to his season 6 design reads "plush fabric blown off, exposed frame"
two sketches, one of mapicc holding his fist up to his chest and one of vitalasy standing and staring into the middle-distance. the text next to mapicc reads "worst mullet known to man" and "always looks pissed off".

lifesteal design sketchessss. mer has been showing me season 5 and it sucks. and yet...it sucks so goodly

Vicarious

vicarious

some supplementary notes since this is an oc piece (you can learn a little more about Escape Velocity in my oc tag for now until I figure out a better way to organize it), I can't say too much without giving everything away but these three's conjoined story arcs are some of my favorite in the entire comic. wanted to draw something vague that might... make more sense later... I was listening to paparazzi while drawing a good chunk of this I'll be honest

anyway. I did draw the rest of this guy but 90% of his pose was blocked by gills and nora in the foreground...

Vicarious

I almost wish I didn't save him though. he looks too pleased about it

Image ID: A redraw of Henry Fuseli's "The Nightmare" featuring young ford pines in place of the sleeping woman, with bill sitting on his abdomen and looking back at the audience. A massive hand emerges from the shadowy curtains in the background, as if it were about to grab ford. End ID.

low lays the devil in me

*if you tag as ship it's an insta-block. not what this is. thanks

I Drew This Extremely Quick Comic Back At The Start Of July, Before Anyone Had Gotten Their Books Early,

I drew this extremely quick comic back at the start of july, before anyone had gotten their books early, and I had assumed we were all going to be seeing it around the same time. clearly that's not how it worked out and I've already seen a couple of... things... (not to mention I'm getting it on the 26th- whoops) which kind of minimizes the point of posting this, but I figured I should at least get it out of my drafts.

anyway, I don't like that guy. but I'm really glad this show has been in my life regardless of any mixed feelings on the book. so... here's to everyone who still cares about the parts of gravity falls that don't revolve around the hot topic triangle

2019 -> 2021 -> 2024 [now]

after a few years, I've finally updated the Escape Velocity crew's reference sheets ^_^ they feel much more real now.... possibly too real. I feel like domino is going to appear in my house and start asking me to buy beer

sometimes I feel a little discouraged about how long I've spent developing these characters without any comic pages to show for it, but I think in the end the extra time was really needed, and I'm really happy with how the crew look now :J and hopefully I can stop myself from making any more major changes.

check out my ev tag if you want to see more of these weird guys

bonus:

Image ID: A drawing of parallel Ford and Fiddleford in a faux magazine format. Both are dressed in business suits, Ford sitting in a desk chair with his legs politely crossed and a nervous look on his face. He's been tied up by computer cabling, his torso tied and hands bound in front of him. Behind him stands Fiddleford, who has a chipper look on his face while fastening the wire-knot. Title text above them reads "How do you manage decisions as a business partner?" "Why, it's easy!" End ID.

hey does anyone remember that weird photoshoot those guys who run the institute of oddology did back in the 80's?

(consider this a companion piece to that other fake magazine post)

also bonus uncropped interview blurb under the cut

Image ID: "Most would describe the 5-foot-gangly, Lennon-bespectacled Tennessee native Fiddleford McGucket as a "humble" soul- including himself, complete with a disarming smile- but is this unassuming nature all there is to the "eyes and ears" of the Institute of Oddology?" 
"In a rare move for the normally reserved self-made millionaire and business partner, Fiddleford spoke with us during a press review for the Institute, which has just recently opened its doors to the public in the form of its "foundations of weird" tour, offering a guided glimpse into the origins of the institute." 
"First things first- where did you get those glasses?"
"Ha! If I'd known this was a fashion interview I would've left my talking points at home. They're something my stylist picked out to replace my old pair- far cry from the ones I had held together with chicken wire as a kid. Was this a widely requested question or just a personal one?"
"You caught me! Personal." 
"I'll get back to you after the interview then. Some things are just too confidential for the public, you understand."
"What's it like working with Stanford Pines? Is he just as mysterious off-camera as he is to us?"
"Stanford is only as mysterious as a good math problem, in my eyes. He's a little challenging, maybe even frustrating on a bad day, but satisfying to solve. Then again, not everyone gets a kick out of solving math problems."
End ID.

Image ID: A drawing of Ford Pines in his 30's, holding the third journal and a pen at the ready to write in it. His face has been entirely blotted out, obscured by dark red ink. End ID.

Stanford Pines? I think you're mistaken. Did you mean the Author?

FINALLY got around to those palette challenges people sent a while ago. I'll be honest I cheated on most of these because I only see palettes as a guideline rather than a strict set of rules... for the most part it worked out though.

thanks to everyone who sent a request in ^_^ !!

bonus comic below the cut

related to the hell froze over pic, I think they invite pacifica over to mcgucket manor a lot more next summer

Image ID: A fully-colored drawing of Fiddleford McGucket in his early 30's, sitting on a computer resembling a Commodore 4032 and strumming his banjo. He's looking at the camera with a smirk on his face, only one eye fully visible, the other obfuscated by the green glare on his glasses. The full picture resembles a magazine cover, the title reading "McGucket Computermajigs" behind his head. On the left, additional text reads: "How one man changed business forever: what personal computers can do for you", as well as headers indicating what's inside the magazine such as: "Inside the institute", "The Fords, America's power duo", and "How the rift tax affects you". End ID.

put me to work

[voice crack] hey guys I remembered how to draw
