Snickers' Doodles

I figured it might be good to actually make an introductory post on here in case anyone new finds me and is unfamiliar with my work (and also I just want to)

HII!!! I am Snickers.

I'm a cartoonist, character designer and (mostly) digital artist. I'm also trying my best to become more of a storyteller :D Even though I mostly do digital, I also like to sketch a lot on paper and experiment with other mediums every once in awhile. I'm also multifandom (I think this is the term) and may drop some fanart every once in awhile for the things I'm into at the moment ;)

I'm working on a whole bunch of different passion projects- including:

The one with bugs living in a post-apocalyptic (maybe still a little present-apocalyptic) world

The silly and also slightly upsetting one with the criminals and the sci-fi and the found family stuff

The horrible medicine-based dystopian society led by a robot

The absurd one that refuses to take itself seriously: fantasy(ish) RPG based on a Minecraft map I made like 7 years ago

AND LOTS OF OTHER RANDOM SILLY GUYS NOT ATTACHED TO THESE PROJECTS!! Including some fan characters for projects by my friends!

I post a little more consistently on my other platforms (especially Instagram) if you want to check out any of my other socials too!

I also take commissions which I'll post about in a separate post (this one is already pretty long)

New animatic I released a couple weeks ago!!

My FINAL attack for @alternatingthursdays / @isleaurielle this year! This one was less huge than the former but I think it is a very important one!

I've been told a lot of the story of Isle Aurielle is inspired by Hawaii: Part II!! Which was one of my favorite albums a couple years ago and got me through some pretty tumultuous times in my life, so this album holds a special place in my heart personally, and now even more so with this project and getting to meet my best friend ever over it!

For this piece I drew Emagine and Knowbuddy and did my best to recreate the album cover, while changing a few things to make it fit thematically into the story :) The angler fish I changed to be a sea serpent, and the moon is a little crumbly (don't worry it's fine) and I changed the palm trees into a single silly willow tree! I also changed the text to read Isle Aurielle / Every Other Thursday (for the japanese text). I just Google translated it so I'm sure it's wrong in some way but oh well. I'm still really happy with this one I think!

BEHOLD!!! My most grand ArtFight attack I made this year- the huge fandom multipack I made for @alternatingthursdays / @isleaurielle! It's another Stater Bros one because the Stasis/Banter fixation goes so strong and shows no signs of stopping, they're so important.

Over the past year that we've been developing these guys, we've assigned them to a lot of characters from other media we like and so this is a big compilation of that! (Plus a bonus one I did that was outside of ArtFight hehe) lots of brothership, best friendships, and characters we just like and thought would be silly to put together hehe. We've got Undertale, Hamilton, OTGW, Moomin, Gravity Falls, The Dechaverse, one of my several unnamed projects (LOL), Deltarune, Omori, Mario, Inscryption, Lackadaisy, Sonic, the Miser brothers, lil sea creature themed outfits, Charlie Brown, and Adventure Time :)

Next week of Redrawtober is here! This is one I'm a bit less proud of but I've been under a bit of a time crunch and wanted to do something a little more simple and experimental than the other ones which have taken...forever. LOL.

This piece was one I did in 2018 (another I vividly remember drawing with my mouse and being...so very proud of...) and I thought it deserved a cool lil redraw where I just do something fun with it :) In 2018 a lot of my art was made in a kinda self-soothey manner, so I think it's fitting that during this one I had some art block because I was putting too much pressure on myself to accomplish all these pieces so I just... tried to get silly with it!

The character in this one was originally gonna be a sona for me I believe? Though I've now gone through SO many different sona iterations to finally land on one I'm really happy with LOL. This was part 1 of the "I may be a furry" era I think HAHA.

Original piece below!

My seventh ArtFight attack for @alternatingthursdays / @isleaurielle this year! This is another Isle Aurielle one... I'm sure you're very surprised by this (I'm so normal about this project guys you have no idea it's been my whole life for over a year now and shows no signs of stopping)

This piece is based on an AU Avi and I came up with that is just called Critter AU LOL. It's based on the Madilyn Mei song Tho I'm A Tortoise which has been a very sad and important song to the development of Stasis and Banter's brothership friendship 😭 Stasis and Banter are very tortoise and the hare coded...

The base premise of the AU is that Stasis and Banter are on the run from death :( Since they die in every universe, this time they see it coming to a certain extent and try their best to evade it and go on a big adventure! It's also more based on the Banter Paralysis AU where he gets adopted by Stasis' family when he's little. For this piece I tried to draw all the relevant characters in one drawing which was a challenge I think. I'm really happy with it though. I also attached the ref sheet of my guys from the AU at the bottom!

AHHH HAPPY NOVEMBER 5TH!!! Today is the one year anniversary of me publishing my first ever full length animatic which I made to Cavetown's Lemon Boy!

Another piece for Redrawtober by @satellitesketchbook! The prompt for this one was fanart, so I really only had one option because I BARELY draw fanart LOL... except for Undertale fanart! I thought this could also be a nice excuse to make some fanart for the 10th anniversary, though I'm quite late for that now.

I was super obsessed with Undertale when I first discovered it in around Fall 2018, and since then it's been one of my favorite games for quite a long time, even if I haven't kept in touch with the fandom as much. Though I've still been playing Deltarune and thoroughly enjoying that!!! I may have to make some proper fanart for that soon too, perhaps of a certain television who is never glooby.

I thought this piece of mine in particular would be really fun to redraw, as it was one of my first attempts at digital painting back in the day (I believe this was still before I got my first drawing tablet, so that was with a mouse!) I've poured quite a bit of time since then into learning how to digital paint, so I thought it would be super fun to update this one and get to honor the game that has meant so much to me for so long!

Original piece below!

My sixth ArtFight attack I made for @alternatingthursdays / @isleaurielle this year! Full disclosure I have...posted this one before. I'm reposting it because I can do better, the last caption was not it I think.

This one is another one based on her story Isle Aurielle as well as one of my favorite games Inscryption! I wanted it to be one big reference to the game combined with elements from her story!

I made her character Knowbuddy the replacement for Leshy because I thought he would be a good gamemaster considering his whole spooky cryptid gimmick. I also included a bunch of other references to the characters around! The talking cards are Banter and Stasis considering their critter AU counterparts, and there's a sea serpent card because I thought that would be a cool big spooky beast to make into a card >:) I also drew a little figurine of Brink (the POV character here and one of the protagonists of the story) and included a little Kiosk in full Goobert bottle form, and a decapitated Melsie in place of the skull! Also the globe is an 8ball now to be on theme with Mr. Spookyman. The caption also is referencing Brink having 4 eyes because of his funky resurrected form! Gouged one out already with the knife 💔

This one was SO fun to work on and I had such a good time combining like my 2 favorite things right now into one drawing. I love Inscryption. I love Isle Aurielle. I only love media that starts with the letter I apparently.

WE'RE SO BACK here's my next piece for Redrawtober by @satellitesketchbook!

This piece is of my OC Riptide who has been around for about 3 years now! I've worked on developing him a LOT since then and thought it would be cool to redraw one of my favorite pieces I've done with him and see how much I could improve upon it... which I think was quite a bit!

I thought this one would fit the technically challenging prompt pretty well because... well there's just a lot of him and it's kinda tedious to draw that much stuff for me LOL. But I am very happy with how it turned out!! I struggled a good bit with this one and procrastinated on finishing it for a few days but once I locked back in I had a lot of fun finishing it up. I tried to make the colors SUPER bright and poppy in this one. In the original I wanted it to look like watercolors, so I tried to keep that same feel without making it look as washed out. I also tried to add a lot more painty textures in it, and updated the composition and poses justtt a little bit :))

Original piece below!

My fifth ArtFight attack of the year for @alternatingthursdays / @isleaurielle! These are more characters from IA- I am begging you so hard to go check it out, it's such a cool project and I think everyone should keep an eye on it >:0

Ahhh this one was so so fun to draw and so important to me :(

This is an OC ship that we came up with together which is of Peggy (Ms. Disco Ball) and Stasis (pajama boy)! Their ship name is their two names combined but stretched a little to be "Pegasus!" These two are super sweet characters and I think are very cute together 😭 We love when the characters heal and are in love despite all the horrors they've been through (dying and everything..)

THEY'RE SO IMPORTANT. I gotta make more art of them soon maybe..

I am so bad at posting things at the correct time! But anyway... here's my first piece of this month for a prompt list I'm participating in called Redrawtober (made by @satellitesketchbook!) I saw this prompt list and thought it would be really fun to do because I LOVE doing redraws but never really do them, lol.

This piece was originally fanart for Animal Jam because I used to be OBSESSED with it when I first started learning digital art. Back in the days when I used to only use my mouse bc I didn't have a tablet yet... good times...

The first piece is one that I drew in 2018, then the first time I redrew it was in 2022 and I thought it would be fun to redraw this one again to see how much I've grown since the previous one! I tried to focus on making a cooler composition (and also bringing back the daytime elements that were in the first one that I ditched in the other redraw for some reason). I also went for using lineart on this one like in the original, since last time I drew it lineless for some reason LOL. I had so much fun with this and it's so cool to see how I've improved over the years!

Original piece and old redraw below!
