Bobby Zilch - Blog Posts

Happy international superhero day from Psychonauts Re-brained!

New mug! Featuring campers!

(April 1 - April 30, 2025)

Uhhhhhhh... Did you want some?

Finally someone let me out of my cage. Now time for me is nothing 'cause I'm counting no age (please refer to this post for the other half.)

A redraw. Do you remember the original? My sister finally decided who should be calling Nils a dumbass.

Lili :) Those flowers beside her are "red hot pokers," also known as "torch lilies."

"I found these weird little wind up toys of US! Dogen, are you listening to me?! This is super creepy!"

I had a dream like this once.

Did you know that it is very fun to draw the campers while listening to music they would never listen to? I drew some of my favorite pictures of Bobby while listening to Rihanna. I recommend it too.

i always struggle to find background music when drawing certain characters. maybe i Should just listen to shakira when drawing mikhail. LOL.

(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?

(December 9 - December 13, 2024)

First Previous

I made a promise to myself to draw part 3 before the year ended and I did good on my word. The story continues…

CLEM SIDE:

CRYSTAL SIDE:

QUENTIN SIDE...?

(November 1 - November 27, 2024)

Things from the eleventh month. I hope you'll enjoy them.

Oh, Elka. What's got you so upset?

I wasn't sure about posting these, but my friends seemed to like them so here we go.

Миша

Clem and Crystal but if they were drawn by my 16 y/o self.

We are lonely, we are all we've got.

Everyone has a character that they treat like a Barbie doll. So cute, right? Almost makes you forget she canonically wants to kill herself.

She has to burn that ribbon now.

Hello, Kitty

Shout-out to @meepmoopmaap

(October 2 - October 30, 2024)

I hope everyone had a good Halloween. Here's Sasha (and lots more.)

For ya mind, and ya body, and soul-soul (a redraw of a redraw? Wow)

Kittaaaaay you so prettaaaaaay

Selemo Queepie

Toot 🎵

BREAKNECK BASTARDDDDDDD

Crystal and Clem 🩷

Clem and Crystal 🩷

Jammin' we jammin'

I wanna put cute star-shaped hair clips in Chloe's hair… if she had any. We will have to improvise.

Children often enjoy being pushed on the swing set by their parent or legal guardian.

A true father-son bond is hurling a flaming, spiked juggling pin at your son's cranium.

(September 3 - September 30, 2024)

This was quite an eventful month. Here is what I drew during it.

Sasha is happy, he's just bad at expressing himself.

@cosmicheartz's OC, Dixie Hoofburger, who is J.T.'s little sister. Thank you for letting me draw her.

Cackling fiend

Drawing nice Bobby feels weird, but it's a nice change of pace.

I got a little distracted.

I tried out an application called Wigglypaint, so naturally I drew Quentin.

Milla told him to stop enabling her suicidal tendencies with violence. (Original here)

I listened to "Stargazing" by Tayla one night and became inspired.

Sister's request. I think Sam and Dogen communicate in a manner completely incomprehensible to anyone besides them.

(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.

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!!!

do you guys remember this masterpiece because it’s one of my favorite things.

(June 4 - June 28, 2024)

Watch out, Phoebe... Be careful.

See, I told you I would revisit that sketch.

Scrapped sketches. They were originally going to be part of some sort of joke.

Scrapped sketch.

I can count on you, Crystal and Clem.

I just wanted to draw @sasalele666's ♀️ Misha design (with a half-assed ♀️ Maloof design I came up with in 5 seconds to go with her.)

Sasha really stood there like "Not my problem" listening to Maloof cry above him in the GPC. (I know it's because he knew Raz would let him out anyway in order to get to his lab, but it's funny to think about.)

When I watched my sister play, that was the exact moment I became enthralled with them.

Baby Loboto

Scrapped sequence of drawings in which an invisible Milka would have comforted Elton. Might come back to this one.

Canon Nils and sasalele666's ♀️ Nils (I thought she was cute and I just like the design so much.)

Milla must have the patience of a saint.

I'm very picky about older camper designs, so I don't usually share mine (Crystal's is the only design I've held onto, and I got it from a DREAM lol.) I was just messing around and thought this drawing turned out well enough to share.

Crystal 🩷

(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

(April 4 - April 22, 2024)

It's my birthday today, so let's get this party started!!

I don't think it's a crime to draw them playing and having fun. They're still kids.

I considered the aftermath.

Milla cares for the campers, we know that. However, I think the fifth time today that Maloof comes crying to her would test her patience. He wants to be coddled and she ain't his mama.

I know it would be more logical for him to lift her with TK, or for her to just levitate, but that's BORING.

Chloe in 0G

I drew Raz cosplaying as my OC, Rez. It's short for "Reznor" not "Rezputin." I think it's cute how Raz is trying to look mean.

I evened it out and drew Rez cosplaying Raz.

Truthfully, they might not get along if they met. Raz is nice to almost everyone, but Rez can be very aggressive (and is also from hell.)

I needed a new one. The old drawing was ... well, old. Too much effort for a shitpost.

Sister's request.

I haven't drawn non-rodent Mirtala in a while (what a sentence.)

I was given permission to draw @psitaniumpsichosis's adult versions of Clem and Crystal. Thank you again for giving me the opportunity to draw them.

Lili and a friend 💜

Yaaaaaaaaay 🎉

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.

Sometimes I want to draw more serious drawings with Bobby, but then I remember he looks like this and it would just be silly.

A face only a mother could love ...

(February 5 - February 29, 2024)

There's lots of goodies in here. Look under the cut to see more.

I had "Material Girl" stuck in my head that morning the day I drew that. It was a sign ...

Original sketch by Mew. I was given permission to redraw it.

Knighting Misha.

It is CRIMINAL it took me this long to draw Mr. Pokeylope.

Clem and Crystal in super Salem style. Nothing but respect.

Alright, you know what? (Megaman-ifies your Psychonauts character and Psychonauts-ifies your Megaman character) TAKE THAT.

Are there any Nils fans out there? This one goes out to you.

I took suggestions from friends on what to draw Crystal & Clem doing. Special thanks to them.

Maybe I am starting to come around to Elka.

I love the way he says stupid. STUUUUUUPID

Misha is my favorite and I've never even drawn him with his normal palette. I had to do something about it.

Dad's wisdom. Requested by my sister, based on an inside joke.

Chuck Jones-ish Maloof. It's my second time trying this style.

Standalone palette drawing unrelated to the Spray Paint Palette series. Don't worry about Elton, he's just fine. This is only a dream he is having. Special thanks to Dire Dire Docks for helping me complete this.

Crystal going through it.

Mouse Mirtala (don't ask how it's possible when Raz is a squirrel.)

Dr. Loboto, that is not proper doctor-patient conduct.

After a long day of running a protection racket, let's go play.

(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 21 - December 24, 2023)

I finally drew some Crystal and Mikhail things. I've been wanting to for MONTHS. No shipping, just friends. Starting with the return of the teddy bear.

Which then sparked a bunch of little doodle "comics."

Meanwhile ...

Later ...

:(

Turn that frown upside down

These were just for fun. I hope you enjoyed.

(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.

⚠️ Warning for eyestrain. Some of these use colors that are very intense.

I got an idea back halfway through September to make drawings using the spray paint colors from Kirby. What started as a basic idea quickly grew bigger than I had imagined. It became kind of like a "final exam" to me. It took me about a month to complete the project. Thank you to my friends who encouraged me.

(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

🎺🎺🎺.

(October 3 - October 12 2023)

Hi. Beam some images into your eyes for a moment if you'd like. See more under the cut.

First up, Milla is wearing one of my OCs' outfits.

Too apathetic.

I really liked @that-weird-skeleton-bastard's anthro Elton, so I drew it and my anthro Elton. Theirs is a kingfisher, mine is a swallow.

The product of me trying to demonstrate how to draw Bobby. HEY yourself.

ELKA FANS IN THE PLACE MAKE SOME NOISE

This is a redraw of the first time I drew Loboto. Consider it my Halloween drawing if I don't make anything else before then.

It hurt my soul to draw an angry Quentin.

I drew my top three favorite female campers (not counting Lili.) I'm not sure why it turned out looking like a desktop wallpaper, but it did. Kinda neat?

Before I run away again, take this early version of the Elka and Maloof drawing as a bonus. I don't ship them, but I wanted to draw it based on the Campster pages interactions.

Cute aggression.

(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.

(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.
