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.

On one of your posts you mentioned that you listen to Britney Spears while drawing Psychonauts. I tried it while drawing Milla and Sasha. Specifically, it was "(You Drive Me) Crazy (The Stop Remix)." It was very fun, but then Cascada came on and I got distracted. 10/10 would recommend.

yess i love britney spears i recommend anyone reading this to draw to her too.

i listen to a lot of britneys discography while drawing. saw your ask then put her on again.

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

Please insert one arrowhead to continue (payment accepted automatically.)

That won't work, Crystal.

Misha doesn't appear in any mental worlds, so we don't ever see him astral project. I drew what I think it might look like if he did (with stuff referencing a drawing above on the side.)

Well, I guess we're all going to die. My whole life is flashing before my eyes. My first memory is of my dog, Lady.

What an Amazing Mirror, right?

I'm glad that my adult Crystal was met with positive reception. I couldn't decide to show with or without color, so just have both versions.

(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.

(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.

(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.

(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.

(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.

(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.

More stuff under the cut. The second one was drawn in MS Paint [picture of spongebob with broken fingers goes here]
