Sorry For The Lack Of New Art 🥲 Artblock Hit Me Pretty Hard And Then I Got Pretty Sick A Few Days

Looking for a clip I saw months ago on Twitter (TW for a joking mention of sex under the cut)

okay I swear to God I am not making this up, but does anybody have that clip of Zach Hadel at that Comic-con panel (I think it was?? It was definitely an event of some kind) where he's talking about a hypothetical Smiling Friends movie (not confirming it, just joking about it I think), where he then goes on to joke about Charlie and Pim having a sex scene together in the middle of said hypothetical movie??

I'm deadass not making this up, I remember seeing the clip on Twitter somewhere, but I never ended up saving it for whatever reason. Any help is appreciated I need to know that this wasn't just a fever dream I had 🙏🙏

Sad day to be Australian 🥀💔

Pim, let your wife in.

Shark Charlie<3333 (feat. axolotl Pim)

I both want him really bad and want to be him REALLY bad

Pim would be a Mitski fan I reckon

reblog and in the tags write a reddit “Am I the Asshole” post title but from the perspective of your favorite character(s)

day 3

i was messing around in an editing app and i have no idea what i am doing... i want to bounce him around like a rubber ball.

[ID: a short video of pim from smiling friends tweened to where he looks very bouncy. the first few frames have him with his eyes closed, and hands balled up and close to his chest. the next frames have him smiling, looking upwards, with his hands out looking enthusiastic. /End ID]

Hey guys! It's been a while! 👋

I'd been working on some character studies for the main critters in Smiling Friends! Well... mostly of Charlie and Pim.

I redrew some screenshots to get a better idea of how to draw the characters! Truthfully, I ended up sketching for so long that I decided to work on my reference sheets in between. I'll leave the other sheets under the "read-more" in case you wanna see 'em! ✨

-

Here are some sketches of Charlie! The main thing I wanted to get down was how to position his nose depending on the angle he's being seen from! I had to imagine him (alongside the other critters) like a 3D model... albeit with some liberties-

I gave maid Charlie a bow on his back (because of course I did), and if I were to ink + color the drawing... he would have white stockings-

Here are some sketches of Pim! With him, I needed to get down the structure of his face based on how he was emoting. It's still complicated... but something that helps is thinking about the structure of a muppet - an adorably goofy design with a mouth that can widen greatly. Thinking about it this way helps me picture how to draw his face-

These are my sketches of Allan and Glep! I can't see myself drawing them as much as Charlie and Pim, but I felt it was still necessary to practice drawing them just in case-

I also drew all four of them on their trip to Brazil for a friend- 💖

This was the page I used to lay out some of my headcanons!

I've already drawn them in my reference sheets a while back, but basically - Charlie has pronounced canines, while Pim his larger webbing in between his fingers. They're intended to be subtle additions that allow their designs to remain as close to the original as possible-

As for baby Charlie and Pim, I absolutely love vinegar-rights' designs! They really hit the nail in the head in terms of how I would imagine the little ones to look like.

Adding onto it - I just love the idea that baby Pim is a fast boy who likes to do zoomies inside his tank. Meanwhile, baby Charlie is always tired. If you were to try sit him up, he would just flop back down on his belly or back-

This one has to be my personal favorite out of all the sketches... I just had this vision of how Charlie looks like in my head when he is yelling at the aliens, and I wanted to sketch it out. I gave Charlie's eyes some bright pupils because I wanted to see how much it changed the expression and man...

I love it.

It makes him look a lot like an angry bear or dog if you were to take a picture of them with the flash on. It was exactly the kind of expression that I was going for-

The last sketch I have is of Jennifer! The episode she's featured in has to be my favorite so far! I just kinda saw a little bit of myself in her personality-wise... so naturally I had to take a crack at drawing her-

I've considered sketching out more screenshots... but I think I get how to draw 'em at this point-

me ccore! :3
