Party people bouncing off the walls.

Special thanks to @ooliecat, @cosmicheartz, and @salempie

One time when my sister was showing me a bunch of Gorillaz music videos, I had a revelation (no disrespect to people who love their blue-haired british men.)

Hey, look. I got an UGLY FACE. Can I join your UGLY CLUB?

Really, I think Clem would detest this holiday. Maybe it wouldn't be so bad if he had Crystal to spend it with.

Lift me up

Special thanks to ooliecat and salempie (who both suggested Alice in Wonderland Elka) and @turquoisegemma

It's all fun and games until the bird craps on your hand.

(January 1 - January 31, 2025)

I've been Psychonauts-ing for two years now. YAAAAAAAY!

Phoebe outfit design by @technovillain. Thank you for allowing me to draw it.

Big Bad Purple Bad Boy

Some sort of superhero pose.

Vernon's greatest audience

Inspired by this.

Why did you punch that little girl?

(July 2 - July 31, 2024)

Maybe it would be fine forever ... Get your mind together ♫

Trust the night sky to carry your wishes to the stars ☆

She has no mouth and wears a hairbow. It made sense to me.

You know how Gravityman's stage in Megaman 5 has those arrows that reverse gravity? I was thinking about those when I drew this.

ZERO, ZIP, ZILCH.

Kitty is the camper I struggle to draw the most. I don't give up easily though.

slow torture.

I want to brush Milla's hair. It looks very soft.

Lady stares like she understands. She does not.

Elton's lev-ball was my favorite color.

I was going to leave this one as a scrapped sketch, but my friends liked it so much I decided to clean it up.

We're a little weird, but don't be afraid.

I think about how they share the same VA often. The difference between them is funny.

Boy, you said it, St. Bernard dog painter.

if you're up to do requests, could you do Raz interacting with a couple campers of your choice? i think my favorite part of the first game is the different conversations with the different campers, and i also really like the way you draw em ^_^

I don't normally take requests, but I like Raz and I like the campers. I can't turn down the chance to draw them.

You said to barge in, so here I am. I like the picture of Vernon that you drew :D I like your art style! Will you draw any other campers? Aside from Vernon, are there any other campers you like?

A lot, actually! there's maybe 2-3 campers i don't particularly (but still) care for, everyone in this drawing (and some more) I adore. They are all my fun little guys!!!

(May 4 - May 31, 2024)

I hurt my hands from drawing too much in April, but I'm okay. During that time I was trying to take a break from drawing, but I was beginning to lose it, so I drew Maloof in MS Paint.

I continued resting afterwards and I was able to draw normally again.

I wanted to try drawing Quentin with different expressions again. It wasn't so bad this time, but ...

[Earthbound mortal damage sound effect]

Might revisit this one. I wasn't feeling it the day I drew it.

I saw that shirt and thought of him.

This is really my third attempt at squirrel Augustus.

Elka is like a cartoon character to me. Her manner of speech is very expressive.

Cutting the bush does not hurt it.

Request from my sister (she is a fan of Gorillaz, could you tell?) Seems that Noodle Fed-Ex'ed herself to the wrong address and The Levitators/Firestarters/Whispering Rockers have a guitarist now.

I wish I could have drawn more. I thought the outfit Elton was drawn in here was cute.

making Bobby go through it in the elaborate music videos that play in my mind at midnight.

Slightly older Bobby (14?)

Rejected sketch. Well, who did you think was the one who cut Raz's head in half? (jk)

I will draw them until my fingers break.

I redrew the first image.

(April 24 - April 30, 2024)

Last of April.

Did you know Elton was my top favorite before Misha? It's true. He's just a baby ...

I saw the Lili figurine here and I just wanted to draw her with the different shoes.

Misha, my boy. I'm glad to draw him.

The amount of time I held onto this idea is ABSURD. It's inspired by something my sister and I do. I'd be in Misha's place in this scenario going "oh, oh, oh," in the flattest voice ever.

DION, STOP USING YOUR BROTHER AS A TABLE. (it's been soooo long since I last drew Dion. It was nice to draw him again.)

Bri'ish

Three wonders, adventure through the sky 🎵 Three wonders, try to stay alive 🎵

As a bonus, you can have this drawing I did on April 1, but not necessarily an April Fool's drawing. Just me being dumb

TV Trouble

(April 10, 2024) Refer to the second drawing here for context (if you wanna call it that. There's barely any context to begin with. Benny and his reality-breaking TV remote.)

(March 1 - March 29, 2024)

Back once again for the renegade master, D4 damage with the ill behavior (camper fans come get ya food. more under the cut.)

AW YEAAAH

This is not a comic, just me getting easily distracted in art form. One of my friends thought Chloe's helmet was a TV screen.

Artist's block then began to beat my ass, but we will brute force our way through.

I wonder if Maloof likes Tom & Jerry.

This one's for the bird nerds and/or lovers of corny jokes out there.

Signs of spring.

ELKA DOOM FANS WHERE YA AT? MAKE SOME NOISE (I was feeling inspired.)

With Elka's help, the artist's block was vanquished.

This one is based on a dream I had months ago. They are listening to this because it kept me sane during the inordinate amount of time I spent on it.

Dart's head shape is like a modified version of Quentin's head shape (or maybe the other way around.) Visualizing it this way has made it easier to draw him.

A very important task as Bobby's henchman, you see.

(Note: since people have been unsure of what Bobby means when I show it - he wants Benny to bite into the apple first since he can't bite it with his bad teeth.)

Katherine.

I hope you took some time for Vernon on Storytelling Day (March 20)

There's been this commercial that plays "What A Feeling" and every time it comes on, it makes me think of Crystal without fail.

Is Chops wearing lipstick? The color is similar to Kitty's lipstick ... Did he steal it from her?

A Kitty-less Franke, how sad. I've expended all my energy to draw Kitty, so she has to be by herself.

J.T. has a very nice face. He has a very trustworthy smile. I trust him.

(January 1 - January 19, 2024)

Everybody in the place (LET'S GO), Everybody in the place (LET'S GO)

(Look under the cut for more drawings)

quemtim an' feeby ... in a sweet harmony, in a sweet harmony ... 🎵

cwyftal

(I would like to draw the campers in more outfits aside from their usual attire sometime.)

Benny in MS Paint. Look at him go.

Here they come.

sasa 💚

These are rough ideas. Enjoy disney-fied squirrel Raz.

It's a PANIC ATTACK-ACK-ACK-ACK-ACK, you ought to know by now (you ought to know by now)

They are boss and bodyguard, but to me, they are also little and big brother.

My friend said if Bobby got his hair straightened, it would be pretty long. The cursed image of Bobby with flowing hair was implanted into my mind. I share my burden with you.

Whenever I listen to something kind of metal-y, he gets to air guitar in my mind.

I've gotta ride, ride like the wiiiiiiiind 🎶

Alright that's enough Bobby for now. What else do I have ... Oh, here

Aw, aren't they so nice?

Ra Ra Razputin, the world's greatest psychic tween

It's January, so that means I've been drawing Psychonauts stuff for a year. LET'S KEEP GOING.

(December 5 - December 19, 2023)

A present from me to you. Open it up and see all the things I've drawn.

In Psychonauts 3, Bobby will be forklift certified.

This is a redraw of one of my earliest drawings of Raz.

DON'T STARE AT ME, NILS.

I know leviation negates the raccoon tail, but I could no longer resist drawing Raz with the tail power-up (SMB3 is my fav.)

Look at me, I'm a SKWIR-ELL.

Rejected sketch. Initially Chloe was holding her arm as if she had been injured. Bobby's threat was also going to be more violent, but y'know, I scrapped it so no need.

Lili :)

Kids talkin' mad shit for being within mop-beating distance.

Something about the top part of Hollis' suit reminding me of a Robot Master.

Simplified chibi-ish Misha, like a Megaman sprite.

Yyyup.

BUT I'M NOT DONE YET. I hit the picture limit, so part 2 will be ... soon.

(November 3 - November 30, 2023)

I've been working on a project since November 2, and I hope to finish it sometime soon. To keep myself sane during this, I doodled. Most of them are not very high effort, so this will be a bit different. Consider these little scraps and bits n' pieces. Special thanks to everyone who inspired these (you know who you are)

See more under the cut (There are plenty!)

Anime Benny.

I gave Crystal a birthday, might as well even it out and give Clem a birthday too. (This date is not canon.)

Clem lemming (or Clemming, if you will)

I might post the finished version of this.

shut up misha i know

Who said that?

Terra don't think about Quentin challenge impossible

(October 16 - October 30, 2023)

I hope everyone had a good Halloween. Here's Lili and Raz loving and cherishing Harold. More stuff under the cut.

Sometimes you just have to draw nice things to make yourself feel better. Now here's some mood whiplash.

I noticed that Bobby and Raz sort of have the same silhouette with their body. I drew this to try and demonstrate what I mean. I think it's beautiful, personally.

you know I know who got the flow, we know they know who runs the show ...

hmmm Katherine and Francine. I only colored it because I wanted to color Franke's pants.

One of my friends said Elton looks like he's about to work at the Krusty Krab.

I was going to color these but then I didn't.

My sister wanted me to draw Donatella.

Patatino... and mood whiplash part two:

Kawaii ✨ (shrivels up and dies) The message is edited. It is from a Discord message and given new context. (The original context does not pertain to Psychonauts.)

I want to beep his nose, but he barely has a nose to beep

🎺🎺🎺.

(September 25 - October 1 2023)

Oops! All Benny.

The first one isn't new but an alternate coloration of a previous drawing. The second drawing is kinda off the wall, and I didn't wanna assault you with that first thing.

Anyway, more under the cut. Special thanks to @gadthekulshushain for inspiring me to draw more Benny.

BEAT HIM UNTIL CANDY COMES OUT.

Being called a rat so many times was getting to him ...

Couldn't let myself get away with drawing Benny without Bobby this time.

Bonus sketch time. Here's one I started and quit very early on. Bobby's just >:-B

Very rough scribbly version.

Ніс!!!👃

(August 25 - August 31 2023)

Last of August

Donatella apologizes to Raz (and more things under the cut.)

Next scene: Raz ignites Dion with pyrokinesis

"It is not just a little spark. It is a flame; a big roaring flame. I can feel it now ... it is burning, Burning, BURNING. ...Hey, something IS burning around here."

Hearing Dion say the corniest shit imaginable.

Oh hey, and I drew Dion "apologizing" too:

Misha saying thank you. (Misha smiled.)

I know I'm not the first to draw anthro versions of Kitty and Quentin, but here's my take on em.

I wasn't expecting the line when Raz shows her the button to hit me so hard. She's hanging out with some weeds (primarily ones that people only want to get rid of.)

I don't wanna end on a sad note, so I'll let you have the early sketch of the Frazie BLECH drawing (I thought Raz looked funny so I held onto it.)

See you next time

(July 25 - July 31 2023)

Last of July

I got my friend into Psychonauts and she started playing it. (ONE OF US, ONE OF US.) She likes Sasha and Milla. Anyway, I decided to draw some stuff more directly referencing the games (and some other random stuff mixed in.) More under the cut.

First time I saw that scene I wheezed my lungs out.

I had a dream in which I saw an older Crystal. I drew her from what I saw. It wasn't her whole body since it was kinda like her talk sprite.

(July 17 - July 24 2023)

I like the funny psychics so I drew some more. More under the cut. hooraaaaaaaay

Hey did you know that July 18 is National Caviar Day?

Hey look I didn't get distracted this time and drew all the stuff I meant to draw last time.

I'm sorry for putting the funny psychics with the space furries it won't happen again (it might.)

This vision came to me in a dream. I made it so.

(July 11 - July 16 2023)

what's up Psychonauts fans. Here's some stuff I drew. More under the cut.

[ billy mays voice ] BUT I'M NOT DONE YET. I've still got some stuff I wanna draw. A "part 2" will be here ... eventually.

Four doodle pages so far. It just started as me wanting to draw a few campers. A "few" turned into 80% of them. Every camper and Aquato sibling appears at least once (As well as some special guest stars.) I'm sure you can tell who my favorites are by who appears frequently (well except Nils. It's just fun to draw him saying things.) These contain many references and inside jokes between me and my sister, so they might seem weird since I'm presenting them with minimal context. I think they can be enjoyed regardless.
