Yet another Hobie sketch while I can't finish digital art due to feeling like shit and needing my bed
Octobie week two, Anarchy!
I didn't know what to write, so I just painted the A on a free flag I got from a Pride event. Fun fact! It glows in the dark (slightly)
Hobie is mostly hand-sewn from felt and fabric scraps I had on hand (I bought nothing new!), although his boots are glued together. He got a bit of an upgrade while I was painting the flag, his pins are painted, and I went back over the spider on his back, his patches, and added some doodles to his boots bc why not
I actually had to dye both the fabric for his shirt and pants to get it right
When the gay panic starts kicking in:
My inspiration 👆
Art might go coming out slower (it has been already) cuz my mental health is going to shit again sorry guys
some little details ive added and a fuckton of pockets!!
nerver die
It's just a fucking small detail. But it was only when I saw this gif that I noticed the three surprise lines above Hobie's head. Such a small and insignificant thing but I love it because I feel like it looks so adorable, especially on him. That's it, that's the post (?) you can keep scrolling.
im trying very hard to process and im sick and scared and i dont have a lot of words left at my disposal, but listen. its not over. its not over. this is not the end. i need you to stay resilient. i need us to keep moving forward, even if we're crawling. we're going to keep fighting for change and there is no greater form of resistance than persisting in a world that might want us dead. you are so loved. this too shall pass, bloody but unbowed. i love you. i love you. allow yourself to grieve then grit your teeth and continue to be relentlessly, powerfully kind. i love you. i love you.
