done rendering for the most part!

Realistically, the only thing I'll get done tmr is color, but best case scenario is that I finish the whole thing and immediately start another drawing cause that's all i ever do

I’ll protect you from all the things I’ve seen

And I’ll clean your wounds, rinse them with saline. 

Some doc and Jolanda….sorry

whole day of work and 5 hrs of doomscrolling got me here

i have NO idea what to do with the background considering I redid the entire composition...wish me luck

Given how little people seemed to notice Jacobs’ Journal and my departure as a whole (as well as still not noticing in the comments to the point they’re still just expecting Jacobs to waltz right back in somehow?), I expected very little recognition and fanfare for a return.

About the only interaction I’ve had with the fanbase was reading YouTube comments on older videos, but never responding. Credit for Sedition’s success was always (from what I saw) either going to the Tats Team as a whole, or (mostly) squarely with Tats herself who was more than happy to take all the credit. Not to say I did more than she did, but she took credit for story ideas, character motivations, how the narrative was unfolding, but really only ever contributed what SCP we should interview (cos it was cool) and the animation.

Probably the most surprising has been how long some people have stuck by my channel and JJ at all to be confident/excited enough for a new SCP series to come out with me helping develop it. Myself and Mae were certainly not expecting fan art to be made of EoW the LITERAL DAY it was announced, so thank you all for that. Your love and faith in our abilities drives us forward.

The ideas for these arts came from my love of warning signs ⚠️

poor watch having his crush exposed by 056...

this was just an excuse to draw flustered watch i wont lie. I tweaked 056 a little but all in the name for a cute watcobs moment

Oh man, this is a hard question, because I have a few favorites that I like for different reasons.

I think if I ended up trying to rank them, though, it would be 035. The others are fun to analyze for a variety of different reasons (I think 2nd would be 049 and 3rd would be 343). I like complexity, I like questioning the intentions of the person I'm analyzing.

035 presents a really fun challenge because it was the only one that I could sit there and consider all aspects and potentials with. We assume 049 is lying about the pestilence, but not generally about itself. We assume 343 is lying about being God, but at the same time we have to talk with him as if it's true anyway. With 035, though, I can sit down and say, "if it's lying, I bet it's because of (...) and if it's telling the truth, I think it could be (...)". It offers me a chance not just to analyze the lies themselves, but to focus in on 035's character underneath. 035 opens that possibility nearly from the beginning of the interview, letting everything after that point fall into questioning. I love the uniqueness of the medium with which 035 speaks, too, because everyone else answers the question in some way (sometimes with other questions, or straight-seeming answers) but 035 is like, "let me tell you a story", and that gives me space to go "what are you actually saying with this?"

CrimeEra Sedition was so fascinating because it still obeyed the laws of show don't tell (which you'd think wouldn't be a problem in an animated medium but it really is) and allowed you to actually speculate about the characters. They don't say what they mean all the time. They obfuscate not in a frustrating way (most of the time, anyway, dear lord 343) but in a "if I were you, I probably also wouldn't be able to tell the truth all the time" way. 035 does this in a far more obvious manner than the other two, which sets it apart, because we never wonder if 035 is lying, we know it is, we just need to figure out where and why. It gives me so much analyze, and yet it's condensed enough not to strain me.

Plus, Crime was the first one who made me understand what this character could be, and made me like it for its personality rather than dislike it due to what I already had decided about it based on the Article. CrimeEra Sedition said, "look at these people and see that we are not so different, even when I am not making the direct comparison". 035 is to be criticized, but also sympathized with, and it's a balance he handled so well.

{and NewEra Sedition says, "let me tell you how similar everyone is. Just in case you can't figure that out}

posting the comic later but have a sneak peek for my next drawing 😋

Guys forget everything I said, I did actually end up drawing old men yaoi on the plane next to my parents

I am working on the analysis for Jacobs Journal! However, I've run into a problem, hence why I am currently being delayed, and it's going to take a bit longer. I know I'm not on a time crunch, but I figured I'd let you all know, because it is the funniest problem to have.

The problem is *drumroll please...!* that I have written too many words. Yes, you heard that correctly. The app I write on is overloaded and keeps crashing on my computer because I wrote too many words and it doesn't like that in my computer browser. I can only get it to work on my phone (although I'm going to try to get it to work on my tablet instead).

The worst part is that it keeps trying to send me to the part of the document I was in it before it crashed, and then I get maybe 15 seconds of access before it crashes again. It's like a doomed time loop where the main character hasn't quite given up on finding a solution yet, so the app is pulling back to where I left off like:

Meet Jacobs,

He Drinkobs

He Schemeobs

But most of all

He’s just a goofy, little nerdy dork like Ryland Grace who wears cardigans and makes tea or snacks for everyone they hire because he values the importance of all life including those who he hires.
