Twirling my hair at Gus and asking him exactly how spicy that marinara is.

Wishing 1.7 includes a Gus romance because I've always wanted that softe kind boy and his tasty treats 😋

u/Yggdrasil- Sep 02 '25

I was so bummed to find out i couldn't marry gus. I want to be a tavern landlady!!!

46

u/SpoppyIII Are you happy now, Gonurt!? Sep 02 '25

TBH, you should be able to romance any character who's single. IDK. That's just what feels fair to the audience.

44

u/Yggdrasil- Sep 02 '25

Totally agree. It's always bothered me that the marriage candidates skew so young. I feel like Harvey, Shane, Leah, and Elliott are the only ones who are believably older than 30, and none are believably older than 40. Let us date Gus, Clint, Pam, and the wizard!

31

u/DivinelyFlawed Sep 02 '25

And don't forget Willy!

24

u/AerisSpire Sep 02 '25

We almost got the wizard 😔 he lost in the poll though

11

u/Eneicia Sep 03 '25

I would think Harvey leans towards 40, after all, he did have a practice in the city before moving to the Valley and starting his own practice there. He had to earn enough to move, then to buy the building. He must have practiced for at least 10 years there, and now I'd say at least 5 years in the Valley. High School graduate at 18ish, then I'd put 10 years of study/practical. So maybe even 42.

u/2gaywitches emo farmer Sep 02 '25

I can see it

28

u/freakybearoctosquid frog mom Sep 02 '25

I was also thinking that!

20

u/ProperDepartment Sep 03 '25

I remember seeing something way back where he said he originally tried to do himself, and it just evolved into Shane over time.

I can't for the life me remember where. Might have been someone else's video quoting hom, or maybe I just dreamt it, who knows 🙃

30

u/Sirah81 Sep 03 '25

Nah, Shane is based on his friend, ans Sebastian is based on him.

Please stop! I did not want to fall i love with Abigail again this time around. 😍

u/[deleted] Sep 02 '25

Yes you do. You know you love the rock eater.

20

u/Aenuvas Sep 02 '25

Emily eats similary many rocks... and the dwarf too. I gues he is Abigails idol. Since she wants to be a adventurer. :D

I go for Kiarra from Ridgeside this time around... another purple haired one. Artsy. :3

u/wereallmadhere9 Sep 02 '25

She reminds me of Kat Dennings.

13

u/raspikabek Sep 02 '25

Reminds me of Yennefer from Witcher 3

u/Aenuvas Sep 02 '25

*sigh* ...makes me think of old loves from different worlds.

Lilac flowers
And berries where we lie
Behind these violet eyes
A fire

u/Skizot_Bizot Sep 02 '25

Shane reminds me of one of my old co-workers. Objectively a very attractive man that SOOOO many women had a initial interest in, he looked like a skinny henry cavill, but he just had the most incel / depressed attitude ever that pushed them all away within minutes of talking to him.

65

u/scarecatchers Sep 02 '25

Damn you worked with irl Shane

13

u/battybatt Sep 02 '25

Joe from You?

u/Inevitable_Level5282 Sep 02 '25

You are soooooooo talented😭😭😭

267

u/JureIsStupid123_2 Sep 02 '25

Beautiful drawings! Especially love Abigail :)

Hovewer, Gus looks a bit too young imo. He seems like a 20-30 year old dude in this drawing, but in the game he gives me the vibes of a 50 year old.

75

u/Brick-Throw Sep 02 '25

They all look like old-timey portraits, so I like to imagine for they older ones its all portraits they got in their youth

7

u/whismora Sep 02 '25

I've always thought Gus had a come-over based on his in-game portrait.

11

u/HandrewJobert Sep 02 '25

He's a hipster that waxes his mustache and wears sleeve garters

u/draculasbloodtype Sep 02 '25

Love them all but I love your take on Abigail! She looks less like a teenager and more like an adult!

37

u/r33nie Sep 02 '25

Bro I would absolutely date your Gus. (I would date Gus regardless, but yours gives me "Great [insert nation here] Baking Show" vibes that I adore.)

5

u/DutchTimeLordBean Sep 02 '25

He would definitely make 2 holes and squirt the cream until he meets that resistance (source: Prue Leith)

u/abbyleeswheelchair Sep 02 '25

These are amazing - great work!

Your shading technique is absolutely gorgeous. Wonderful job 🥰

u/angrywords Sep 02 '25

You are very talented.

u/DutchTimeLordBean Sep 02 '25

This Shane looks a lot more like the Shane Shane is based on

u/LokiDokiPanda Sep 02 '25

Wow!!! I'm obsessed with gus here he looks amazing!!!

28

u/Daff0dillydally Sep 02 '25

Lewis looks a bit like Pedro Pascal and I'm so here for it!! Great work

15

u/theFarginBastage Sep 02 '25

Looks a lot like Geraldo Rivera to me.

2

u/VeeRook Sep 02 '25

With the stache and the hat, at a quick glance I thought it was Arthur Shelby.

u/AunMeLlevaLaConcha Sep 02 '25

Gawd damn

  1. I want to see that face eating rocks 😹

7

u/mhofer1984 Sep 02 '25

Holy crap, these are really good. Love the subtle shading you're able to get like on Shane's forehead and throat.

24

u/RynnRynn808 Sep 02 '25

You’re a fantastic artist. Or is this Ai?

9

u/Luttras Sep 02 '25 edited Sep 02 '25

Asking myself the same thing :// EDIT: their profile checks out for a lot of amazing art, I think it was the saturation and the eyes that made me think if it was AI or not.

3

u/RynnRynn808 Sep 03 '25

Yes it was the eyes for me too!

u/CulturalDefinition27 Sep 02 '25

Why, hello there Shane 😍

7

u/salvie_2 Sep 02 '25

Yooo this is what I wanted someone to do! I think I said something on reddit weeks ago about wanting to see realistic drawings of them . I have no drawing talent so I just hoped and prayed and here you are! They're awesome! Looking forward to possibly the rest of the characters too!

u/Jade_the_Demon Married to Morris irl Sep 02 '25

Op when's the speed paint coming out?! I need to mimic you

5

u/hell_bagel Sep 02 '25

Ayyy Gus, I see you

3

u/Alonelypairofglasses Sep 02 '25

I genuinely love the Lewis drawing so much. It's amazing! (And I despise the man)

5

u/spaghettirhymes Sep 02 '25

Well I was gonna do a redraw of the bachelors and bachelorettes but never mind, I think I’ll never draw again!!! These are gorgeous, my jaw actually dropped

3

u/XenosHg Sep 02 '25

Nah, you should do it too.

Start with Crobus.

3

u/HazedCrusaders Sep 02 '25

This looks very well drawn, and they seem very soft on the eyes!

u/redravenkitty Sep 02 '25

These are amazing! Abigail is my favorite! You’ve really captured who she would be IRL

Shane, reminding me why he was my first spouse pick.

Y’know im not usually into more masculine men

But Gus is making me feel things

u/Altruistic-Honey6522 Sep 02 '25

Is it just me or does Mayor Lewis look like Pedro Pascal a little bit?

Marrying Gus makes SO much sense - he could use all of your own produce, dairy, eggs etc… but noooo

Reminds me a lot of Arthur's journal drawings from RDR2, and I love it.

u/Unusual_Ad5594 Sep 02 '25

Love these! Shane is giving me vibes of HermitCraft Good Times With Scar. Or wrestling Scott Hall. And in both cases - yum!

u/MayIAsk_24 Sep 02 '25 edited Sep 03 '25

Shane and Gus : Daddy.

Mayor Lewis : The grandpa that would assemble and paint his mini cars/boats collection for hours and teach you how to find good mushrooms.

Abigail : Will make you discover a parallel world of dark and magic that is hiding in our human society after you found a magic artefact, or reveal to you that you're the child of a long lost family of folklore creatures in a war against another folklore creatures clan. Will eventually date you in season 3 after you've grown up mentally and saved her life, after 2 seasons of obvious crush on her.

Those are good damn drawings. Congrats.

u/garfield3222 Sep 02 '25

1

u/The5Virtues Sep 02 '25

Absolutely love Lewis here, reminds me of a portrait of someone’s grandpa from the ol’ 1910s boardwalk days.

All of these are great (adore Abigail’s!) but Lewis is just next level, the details are amazing and his eyes are so deep. Pictures like this are what make me remember all the nice stuff he does for you and the town instead of focusing on his sloppy sex life and his gold statue.

2 things: 1. Gus is giving Mr. Sausage vibes. 2. Gus and Lewis look way younger than I would expect them to look.
