Erik Punk Au - Blog Posts
Tiny Erik is here to say cheers to you!
His hat looks CURSED off-camera, so I gave him some juice (it's Lego, and I can't say how much I love that piece). He still looks a little frightened and brain-off, as Aiden says, but I think he's buzzing inside about so many good stories about him!
Konrad and I have just proofread chapter 29 of the webcomic. I'm so incredibly happy that I've covered the next 10 months with enough comic chapters.
My visit at the doctor today was pretty sobering. Tomorrow I'm going to see another doctor for other problems.
Due to my state of health, it took me about 4 weeks to draw chapter 29. I'm currently putting off the next 3 bonus chapters. No energy for storyboarding.
But I am soooo happy. Chapters 16, 17 and 18 are already prepared in Tapas. I can't wait to read what you have to say. 😍✨✨✨
As @ablatheringblatherskite eloquently put it in their lovely tags for this post:
Now, go read it, people.
Erik - Top of the Sky Update
another sad chapter. man, this drama will take some time. AO3 Fanfiktion Song of this chapter:
C'est le mien !
Doing colouring as a kid, I always ignored instructions and drew snot and tears on all the things with faces. To stop old habits from popping out, I traced this with baking paper against my phone, then traced that with watercolour paper against my desk lamp. It hurt my arms, so I filled in the details freestyle, I hope it worked! Phans with a printer, follow instructions now!
Colour it in your style!
Well, originally this was my valentine's day drawing.... buuuuut i hate christines pose, and then i gave up.
Well, iiiiiiiiif you want, download it, print it out, colour it in your style :-)
Credit me, so i can see what you did 😍 have fun!
HISTORICAL REFERENCE IN A CHRISTINE DESIGN AAHHHH -
I'm treating this rationally. I am. Honest.
(Original meme by @blackforrestpunk )
@forever-and-whats-left ,a Christine Daaé for you. I hope she fits the bill. I gave her an earring and some hair accessories based on some pictures of Christine Nilsson, widely believed to have been an inspiration for Gaston Leroux.
I need to put him in a safe place, he's so small 😭
Ah, good, ask box still open. Don't close it, or small Erik won't be able to visit you -
(Serious Questions coming later, but enjoy some fluffy Erik first)
Yeah, it is still open :-D
And OMFG AHHHHH look at him how cute he issssss ahhhhhhh can i buy himmmm??? Ahhhh
(Yes, Vlad, Aurik got the hairstyle he deserves. No pigtails in sight)
This is so accurate it's horrifying. Can confirm, in people situations I'd be quiet you'd forget I'm there, then out of the blue say the most outlandish things. Aiden, are you in my walls?
Good to be the spokesperson screamsperson!
I cannot hear you!

(Loosely) based on comic panels sent to me by @blackforrestpunk . Read his comics here. Bonus points if you can catch a Cat Punk Erik.
Get yourself a friend in a vastly different time zone with whom you can still complain about being sleep depraved at the same time or something
OUT OF YOUR COFFINS, SUCKERS! Edward Gory and Bram Stoker have collaborated again!
@vladimirsangel This is now my favourite (not) Christmas story. My only complaint is that I love cauliflowers. @blackforrestpunk The action! The drama! Applause! Nadir with horns is wonderful.
we did something again.
@vladimirsangel best writer of this damn planet! i am so glad to adapt again one of your short fics as a comic <3 it is always a pleasure for me

if you want to read this incredible fic, written by vlad: https://www.tumblr.com/vladimirsangel/760266902105931776/not-christmas-but-close read it. it is so good.
I loved going through your comics (and doing a bit of ✨️research✨️ in your art archives) to put in the little details, and listening to the album too! I thought this was the perfect song for Erik, and I'm so glad it's among your favourites when I (discreetly) asked!
Look what i've got from @purrlockswatson !!! I bought the goober cats advent calendar and payed a bit more than i should. And i got this!!!
Ahhhhhhhhh it is so soooo cute!!! And look at the details!!! Erik with his guitar and rose hoodie!! Chrissy wrapped up in a blanket, and they are listening toooo florence + the meowchine!!! Guess the song ahhhhhh 😆✨ guess the album ❤️🔥
And last but not least, sasha!!! Sasha the raindeerdog. I die of happiness.
Today on the Goober Cat Advent. It's them! It's the gang! They've summoned Santa. For very reasonable reasons, I'm sure, lads...? (The gang's guide to Santa summoning here)
L-R @blackforrestpunk 's Punk Erik, @vladimirsangel 's Aurik and my Pierce.
I drew this with a pen on its last gasp:
Obsessed with the clean 6-inch gaps between them. @vladimirsangel I love your Pierce, he looks like a Christmas elf beside the others, bless him.
And of course they are talking about chicken.
Dumb sketches because I got obsessed with their height differences. Sorry it's so rough but my brain is like tangled wool tonight
Feel better soon @purrlockswatson!
Have a better day @blackforrestpunk!
(I don't know what they're talking about. Something fun)
Probably? Mes amis, it's fudging canon!
Behold, me using the Original Text as proof of something unhinged again.
All Eriks have funny weird humour. There's no way this genius didn't have a better disguise.
(Chrissy's hair, ahhhh, I love it!)
Leroux Erik would be proud. Probably.
My Erik has a funny weird humor, that doesn't appear that much in my stories. Well.
What to do with Santa when you summon him
(Justice for Vampire Teddy! Look at the poor little chap.)
Red isn't the colour for breaking and entering.
You expect us to know what to say to strangers?
Right, gang?
In answer to urgent questions, those are my ideas for a good summoning, I mean, Christmas party. Passing the mic to @blackforrestpunk and @vladimirsangel - I insist that I not be entirely culpable for this.
It started out as a chicken joke, and then Aiden decided it deserves a place in my printable Christmas Advent, so now it seems doomed to be a running gag. The lil summoners are as follows: batty ears is Aurik, Vlad's Nosferatu, masked cat is Aiden's Punk Erik and the dummy in the bowtie is my Pierce.
Idea by @blackforrestpunk art by @vladimirsangel and angry floof by me.
(L-R Aiden's OC Punk Erik, Vlad's Aurik and my Pierce.)
Sorry to hear the germs got you, I hope you get them back. Have a Chickula.
I made him before I made Innocent. Believe it or not, he was harder to make. He keeps judging my life choices so I didn't finish him, but well, I hope that was entertaining. How entertained do you want to be? Because, like the entertainment industry in general, I am absolutely capable of becoming a menace.

IS THERE NO END TO YOUR TALENTS??
Count Chickula: Vere is my tail, @purrlockswatson? My majestic vampire feathery tail?
