@neverniko101 has a challenge ongoing. I am not participating, even if this could be considered apart of it. I just wanted to spread the word.

Also, I might have revealed which AU these two are from because I mentioned the creator reblogged the post of the finalists. Oh, by the way... I kept those necklaces, because it's honestly cute!

So I was scrolling through tumblr instead of studying for my exam Thursday as saw @le-poofe’s new Grillby design and was just COMPLETELY blown away by how gorgeous it was. I have studied le-poofe’s style before (above ;D) but is was I think a year ago at this point? And I realized I don’t think I’ve fully rendered a Grillby in several months 😧

So! Half a study (more of figuring out why I loved it so much [the like… ribbon? Quality?? If that makes sense?] and how it would work in my style [le-poofe uses a lot of beautiful clean line art but I both love painterly styles and just don’t have the patience at all for clean lineart I go bananas]) and half just a redraw to see some progress!

Original + a speedpaint (for fun + I know ai is a problem rn and I want 0 smoke)

Oh, and a higher contrast because ngl I draw on my iPad and I have my screen contrast REALLY high so when I was painting it, I was seeing a lot closer to this:

A visual of what Grillby looks like now in my fic!!

I took drawing and coloring inspo from @le-poofe bc OMG I LOVE THE WAY YOU DRAW GRILLBY 😔 HES SO EDIBLE WIOSJDJDK (I took reference of outertale Grillby specifically 👀 I had NO idea how to draw fire prior to this so thank you 😭)

And SPEED PAINT FOR FUN!! (Ignore that the quality is ASSSSS idk why procreate does this to me 😔

If I only could

I’d make a deal with god.

More RUTHfell doodles 🤭
