Day 18 Done! All Of Bdubs' Builds Are Beautiful, But This Little Starter House Is My Absolute Favorite.

Day 15 done! In honor of Sal the Salmon, I decided to give him salmon fins. I like to imagine Jevin made them himself and just sorta stuck them on (he definitely did the same thing with the eyebrows, though he'll swear those are natural.)

There was a scrapped design where he had a salmon skull floating in the slime, but salmon skulls look weirdly like bird skulls, especially in a tiny pencil drawing. Sadness.

Also, I've completely forgotten to add the charity link for previous days! There's a donation match in progress, so if you can give, now is the time!

Do YOU have an email address? If so click this link to sign the petition to show Valve we want this game to be functional again!

If you DONT have and email address... you should make one, they are pretty handy, and its free!

here is the one without text, I'm not the best at making posters lol.

i'm just curious bc i'm watching How to Train Your Dragon and i always forget how happy and calm it makes me feel. i mean, i did name my cat after Toothless the dragon. but i also love Lion King, that's my Disney comfort movie. and my Ghibli comfort movie is Spirited Away. watching any of these when i'm in a foul mood or my anxiety is high always helps 🥰 but i watch them just for fun too, not only when i'm in a mood. what about you?

Day 11 done! For some reason, I can't seem to make Cub look anything other than menacing when I draw him. Believe it or not, the fangs actually made him look nicer. Though since this is permit office Cub, menacing might be the right look

Day 8 done! I haven't watched many of Hypno's videos, but his Decked Out runs are really impressive. His skin is very cool, and I need to come back sometime and make a less rough design for it

Love the idea of weresheep zed (I have a similar idea in the most roundabout and weird way lmao)

Thanks! I wish I had a cool backstory for it, but really I just couldn't decide whether I wanted him to be a human or a sheep. I'm curious about your take on a weresheep! Roundabout and weird seems like a very fitting description for any version of Zed

I'm hoping to post some weresheep concept sketches along with all my other hermit-a-day practice designs at the end of May, if you want to keep an eye out for those

Day 6 done! Despite being one of the first hermits I watched, I still don't have a proper design for Mumbo. Still not quite happy with his face shape, but I like how the hair turned out. Don't ask why he's got pointed ears, I have no headcanons and just thought they looked nice

Day 14 done! One of my friends wanted a drawing of Lizzie, so I thought this lovely couple would be perfect for the group/collab prompt. Drawing this was so nice, I mimic the expressions as I draw and I was smiling the whole time. A note on the designs: they are both some kind of fairy with insect features. Joel is based on a dogbane beetle, while Lizzie is an orchid mantis!

Now remember, we must criticize constructively with Valve’s negligence on the bot crisis. 5 years of little to no effort and the bare minimum updates are not on us. That is on Valve fully. They made a game that is a PILLAR of their brand and let’s be honest here it’s breaking apart.

Save tf2 has failed before, sure we got some feedback but not what we needed. We MUST be louder, we must voice the problems FULLY. I’m not saying go on forums and talk crap with a bunch of curse words. That won’t get us anywhere. What will is expressing our experiences, not complimenting and being nice to the team. But showing the damage in full length.

The valve team is riding on the workshop creators to do work for them. That is not acceptable.

Sign the petition, tweet, stream, screencap, bang pots and pans together. I’ve seen game developers let their games crumble and I don’t want this to happen to tf2. And to those who follow this blog I don’t think you want that either.

Together we will be heard. We have to be. Do not settle for minimum effort from valve.

Second day done just in time!
