i came up with the idea of making designs if MJTP was an RPG game with elements of a novel. (basically it was based on OFF and Undertale)

i'll make a few more soon!

here are a couple of concepts that are in my head:

1) during the battle, he can steal one of your item or some of your coins (which can be very annoying!). this will also feel like breaking the 4th wall, because he'll be going beyond the battlefield panel and looking at the player.

2) Mad Jack is essentially a weak boss, and the fight would be funny and absurd. for example, when he attacks you with his sword, he'll miss and might accidentally fall on you taking some HP away.

yk i often have dreams (most of them are nightmares btw). well anyway...Mad Jack comes to me in my dreams sometimes (quite expected considering how often i draw and think about him). but he acts strangely...like out of character? he's just quiet and calm (which is kinda comforting)...also he can speak on the both languages i know. and he only comes when my attention switches to another character. as if he feels jealousy lol (or afraid of being forgotten again?). and unfortunately i had nightmares with him too. and they're all about dismembering him (i mean not cartoonish violence but gore) or that damn scene with the brain and eyeballs. this looks so disturbing :(

sketches are kinda poor because i'm was really stressed. plus i ran out of stickers :(

just imagine being a cartoon, especially a self-awared one. your existence is directly dependent on the attention of viewers and the memory in their hearts.

i actually discovered a year ago that he's a self-awared meta character when i was rewatching all episodes in english dub. i kinda knew he can break the fourth wall, but unfortunately the russian dub left out many things that hinted that he was aware of being in the show. this is actually adds depth, pain, and tragedy to his existence. he realizes he's in an absurd cartoon world and can't do anything about it. he knows he was created for entertainment and that his pain and suffering are gags, and no one takes him seriously. although perhaps the worst thing for him is being forgotten and abandoned.

if you think deeper, this is the tragedy of being self-awared cartoon. you know you're not real, but you know what it's like to be seen. and when people stop watching you and you become invisible, that's a special kind of death.

sorry if that's too weird i got carried away with philosophy. people always say it's just a cartoon but can't help myself dig deeper...

just keep scrolling.

(omg my Taxman looks so stupid and silly as a villain. like no threat from him at all)
