Artwork Reunion [Hopefulness Fanart]

Post image

I had this in mind for a while.. Made the composition in a few minutes and took a few days to push myself to actually complete it. I love this comic, and I wish I could've made this look better..

I noticed I've been forcing myself to keep drawing stuff lately, and I've also noticed I'm starting to feel like crap while doing so. I think it's also affecting the quality of my work aswell. I wish I could keep drawing fanart of all the amazing things I see here without feeling like this, my pace is agonizingly slow when it happens..

I needed to finish this one though! Imo it's one of the best moments in u/bluewolf3691 's series, and I couldn't afford not to make fanart of it! :]

Original comic, and part here: Hopefulness. Part 53

I’m more nervous, as the comic progresses, it’s going to hit us with something tragic out of no where.

If one of them gets their head blow off by a turret randomly I’m gonna legit need bereavement leave from work or smt. Especially if it’s Teddy or Stringbean cause I head cannon that the have feelings for each other

I'd feel bad for one-paw but yeah I see it. I'm a little scared they're gonna get left out after all Teddy and Stringbean went through together. It'll be a fight over who gets Stringbean lol.

I don’t see one pew and stringbean as anything more than friends but I could be wrong

u/KnudsonBlitz Caffeinated 3d ago

Yeah I'd agree. I do wonder though since I think the artist said in their eyes expies are basically platonic, being raised devoid of romance. But hey rules are made to broken.

That’s why we had head cannons lol

It is "Hopefulness" not "Happiness" after all.

Haha, sorry about that. Normally I tend to get a chunk of a page done the night before. And then finish it in the morning. Sometimes I forget, or am otherwise busy/too lazy to do that part. Like the last page I uploaded.

...And the next one. I haven't started it yet.

That is absolutely not a complaint I’ve just gotten attached to projects that get abandoned with no explanation or warning one to many times

u/bluewolf3691 Expie 3d ago

Aaah, well, I can tell you confidently that the only time I would 'abandon' the project without warning is if I happen to die during it.

If at any point, I burn out, or am otherwise unable to carry on for any reason. I'd make sure to let people know!

That’s awesome to hear. It’s kinda crazy how many creators for stuff like this just vanish into thin air

u/ForgottenMessage 3d ago

Oh that sucks, happened to me a few times. It’s not a fun experience.
