Happy late birthday to Mabel and Dipper! Wanted to draw something yesterday but didnt have the time

Drew Dipper and Mabel, the mystery twins. I miss this show

i literally cannot believe that the reason people have been hating on mabel this whole time was because. because she accepted bills deal? mabel, who didnt even know about the rift? who thought she was talking to someone she could trust? who is LITERALLY 12??? i feel like it would make more sense to blame ford for telling dipper to keep it a secret from her, and even thats a reach. and if people hate her for not wanting to leave the prison, that is honestly significantly stupider because literally everyone who entered didnt actually want to leave. she just had the worst emotionally. genuinely unbelievable that people hated her because i feel like other characters have done so much worse.

people hating ford is insane to me too i saw a post about him being a “morally bad person” what? like i get that he was awful to stan but it literally ends with him basically apologizing. he doesnt SAY the words “sorry” but his offer to do what stan had been wanting to do since they were kids is, in a sense, an apology. and sure i still think he couldve done better but that doesnt make him a bad person. hell it doesnt even make him a jerk. hes just a flawed human being, the same as every other character in this show. literally no one aside from bill has done anything worth hating in this show and i cannot believe people have been hating on mabel and ford for THIS. i spent a whole season waiting for whatever awful things they would do that ended up earning them this infamy but it turns out their only crimes were being a naive 12 year old and not being a complete saint, respectively.

This is fan art created for the ao3 story "Golden Glue and Porcelain" by @pickledchips! It's a zombie/repair man bill cipher au (at least I think it is. Correct me if I'm wrong😭). I tried a "new" style. I say "new" because I'm still new to digital art in general, but I absolutely love this kind of style :3

ANYWAYS enough ranting. Go read golden glue and porcelain and enjoy this fan art for it :3

Edit: tagging @1spooky2me because this fixer upper au was their original idea :)👍

Rustic Bathroom Phoenix Bathroom - mid-sized rustic master bathroom idea with multicolored tile and slate tile slate floor, distressed cabinets, a one-piece toilet, beige walls, a vessel sink, and limestone countertops

Ten years. Holy wow. There are so many things I want to say that I don’t even know where to begin! But, first of all, I’m truly desolate that I wasn’t able to finish this piece properly in time; this was supposed to be a full work but unfortunately paired with my graduation, a nasty cold and just an overall busy year I just totally ran out of time. I intend on finishing this properly at some point, but for now all I can offer is the line work and the character flats. I hope you enjoy it anyway!

The really sappy stuff is beneath the cut. Happy double digits, Gravity Falls; I will always love you!

My brother and I have been close our whole lives. We first watched Gravity Falls together in November of 2015. These memories are some I hold so incredibly dear to my heart for so many reasons, but mainly because it was the summer of 2019 when my parents separated, and unfortunately also when my brother was hit very hard by puberty. He suddenly wanted nothing to do with me. We rarely even spoke because more often than not it’d end in a fight that brought me to tears. He hated me, and I could not stand it. I felt so lonely, so betrayed and, more than ever before, longed for the good ol’ days to come back to me.

Eventually, my brother’s destructive behaviour came back to bite him. One day I woke up to hear from some of our mutual friends that everybody had abandoned him; every single one had dubbed him a horrible monster and refused to talk to him ever again. He was completely alone, and, despite everything, I made the decision to ask him what was wrong. For the first time in years he opened up to me. We went on a long evening drive down the highway, just listening to his favorite music and seeing where the road would take us. After this, we finally began to talk again. He’d pop into my room every night just to say hello, watch YouTube and even asked me to teach him how to draw.

The reason I’m telling you all of this is because, during the endeavour, I was often reminded of Dipper and Mabel’s plight near the end of the series. It struck a cord deeper than I had expected it to when I rewatched it during this era, and it gave me hope. Gravity Falls was the last thing we had shared together and bonded over at the time. We created together, we imagined together, we loved together. The days we spent walking around the local track on sunny summer’s days musing over fun ideas for stories and fan-comics were some of the best ones of my life. So, you can imagine how difficult it was to feel like that had all been torn from me.

Nonetheless, just like the Pines twins (both sets! Happy birthday Stan and Ford <3 <3), we forgave each other. We’re best friends again, and I am so incredibly grateful for that. I can’t imagine my life without you, little bro, and I hope we continue to take on the world together for decades to come!

Thank you, Gravity Falls. Thank you for making me laugh, making me cry, making me think, making me feel and making me create. Thank you for the nights I spent curled up on the couch with my whole family, laughing and smiling together. Thank you for making me believe in the power of a sibling bond. Thank you for all of the inspiration, motivation and artistic growth (and being responsible for the first time I was drawing humans regularly!). Thank you for helping me bond and connect with my closest friends in the entire world. It is an absolute privilege to be able to be here to celebrate an entire decade of some of the best television to ever air. I know this show will never truly leave me; how could it after all of this? One day, I’m sure I will watch it again with my children, and then again with my children’s children, and create those memories all over again. And with each line, each frame, I’m sure I will look back to these memories. Moments forever frozen in time, where my family and I were as we should be: well and truly as one.

Oh man now I’m crying lol, sorry if that was a bit incoherent I am beyond exhausted (been drawing for like eight hours straight) :’D But hey, it came from the heart!

Adios folks, I’ll hopefully see you soon with the proper iteration! And remember: “Gravity Falls is real and it will never die.” I, however, am going to die in approximately five seconds. snzzzzz

Pines Pile | early 2019

Another crosspost since this seemed to be pretty popular on DeviantArt! Thanks to my buddy Kat for the perfect title. :D

One of my favorites just for how sweet it is. I cannot get enough Pines cuddles!

Original description under the cut. <3

“A remake of an old piece of mine that I loved the concept but kinda hated the outcome of, haha. There are few things I love in this world more than Pines cuddles, so it's a more personal piece to me. And yeah I know that's kinda weird considering they're not my characters but pff but what can I say, I love these guys. It was nice to go back to cel-shading again for a bit, quite interesting! I did however give in near the end and cover like the entire thing with a free cloth texture though because I was getting sick of working on it, evident by the background, which is, uh, not great, but hey, it's presentable for the most part! Plus, I'm tired of not posting, haha. I noticed when I was finishing this up that this is kind of similar to an old piece by Archervale. This was totally unintentional, my apologies!”

Quick piece from November 2019! Posting now because I’m planning on continuing this format; Mabel is next and will be way more refined. :D

Variants and some extra insight under the cut!

“Been really inspired lately by those huge Waldo-esque pieces where you could spend hours looking at all the tiny details, and while this isn't totally on the level of those it was still a lot of work! Been trying some new rendering techniques and having a lot of fun with them, though they clearly still need some polish, lol. Not my best technique-wise but I think it's a lot of fun and I enjoy it a lot! I hope you like it, too. If you do, lemme know -- who's your favorite Dip? Will definitely be working on ones for the rest of the Pines! Perhaps all the symbols, even? Who knows?” ~ Original description
