#catshake_project

My inspiration:

As a character designer myself, I see a lot of genius things in his design and I admire them (like, have you seen how the shape of his lid changes when he’s angry? IT'S LITERALLY SUCH A COOL IDEA to come up with for a cup!). Also Shake's crazy personality gives me a lot of great ideas and inspiration for art. Like, not only do I have a lot of fun drawing him, but it also makes it easier for me to understand shapes and practice drawing them - his cup form is just perfect for that!

Also, after I began drawing him, I started practicing more on different cartoony shapes and characters I haven’t even tried to draw before, so Shake became a legendary character for me in some way :D When I’m drawing him, I’m just chilling. He also inspired me to start making fanart with other characters from the nostalgic cartoony shows/video games, like Jake Long, Spyro, and so on! I still have a lot of these in process.

And yeah! Honestly, I can’t even call myself a big fan of ATHF itself, mostly because I barely have time to watch any shows, and feel like I just love this particular character. I think his design and funny personality is what made me enjoy him in the first place, and I also have my own headcanons and vision for him. It's really sweet to realize that it all eventually turned from a little sympathy to A LOT of fanart, headcanons, different AUs, and of course he got a girlfriend, Cat :D I really love these guys, I enjoy drawing them, working on their story and relationship, and commissioning artists to draw them! Sometimes my friends also make me gifts with this duo and my heart just melts because I never thought anyone would be interested in drawing art with them but me, lol
