I've Noticed That The Psychonauts Fandom Is So Small, And More Specifically So Tight Knit, That Everybody

(May 14-15, 2025)

It's a birthday gift for my best friend. I couldn't decide which version I liked better, so I gave her both. It is a drawing of her OC.

A while ago, I was asked about how I do my line art. I screenshot my process to explain it. I'm glad to share my knowledge, and I hope this can inspire you. I want to emphasize that there is no "right" or "wrong" way. This is just how I like to do it.

Anyway, every drawing of mine starts with a rough sketch. My beautiful babies, Crystal and Clem, will be helping me demonstrate.

Some sketches are rougher than others, but I have a lot of experience with drawing Crystal and Clem so it doesn't take much.

Depending on how I want a drawing to look, I may use different pens. The one I am using here is called "Technical Pen" and it is the one I use 90% of the time. I will go around and outline anything I want bolded. The lines here aren't as thick as I usually go, but it's the same concept.

I will decrease the size of the pen and start to fill in some details. I usually tweak it as I go, fixing errors, and smoothing out the lines. In casual drawings like this, I'm very loose about it. There's no science to it, just go with the flow. (AAH INVISIBLE EYES)

Then, I will decrease the size once more and fill in tinier details (pupils, hair, clothing folds, etc.)

With drawings that include writing, I'll use a size like I did in step 3 (not too thin, not too thick.)

Now you can brutalize lines the Terra way.

Of course this isn't the ONLY way and every drawing I do the lines a little differently depending on how I want it to look. Here are some other pens I use:

Technical Pen - This is an all-around pen for me. It's straightfoward and reliable.

Brush 4 - No, really, that's what it's called. This is good when I want to have very thick, bold, textured lines. I sometimes use Pencil 6B for hatching with this if I want it to have a sketchy look.

Inking Pen - I also call it the "Bobby Pen" because I use it frequently when drawing Bobby. It's good for when I want to make a sketchy, rough, unstable-looking drawing. It's also very good if I want the lines to look very sharp. I'm still experimenting with this one.

Pencil Pal - This one is reserved for whenever I make drawings that (somewhat) resemble traditional art. I usually only keep to one width with this one.

And there you have it.

I never really know what to say in these things, but I hope the drawings will speak for me. More under the cut (there's a LOTTTTT this time.)

Revisited an idea as previously seen in Feb. 2023 Highlights.

Rejected Sasha sketch.

I realized I had only drawn Milka four times so I decided to rectify that. (But who's to say she isn't in all of my drawings but invisible.)

Quentin makes me happy.

(Will anyone get the reference? I wonder)

(The joke is they are both named Mikhail. hahahaaaaaaaaAa)

(patrick voice) EVERYONE DIED.

I figured out how to make gradients the real way in my art thing. It's over for you all.

Aye aye aye, your eyes hypnotize 🎵

(here I was thinking I was clever for drawing Kitty with hypno-eye swirlies, but upon closer inspection on her model, she had them all along.)

Note: Crystal doesn't have an official birthday. I just chose from a random Virgo date. It happened to be Sept. 22. Yaaaaaaaaay.

I dread to imagine what's inside that box.

You said to barge in, so here I am. I like the picture of Vernon that you drew :D I like your art style! Will you draw any other campers? Aside from Vernon, are there any other campers you like?

A lot, actually! there's maybe 2-3 campers i don't particularly (but still) care for, everyone in this drawing (and some more) I adore. They are all my fun little guys!!!

TV Trouble

(April 10, 2024) Refer to the second drawing here for context (if you wanna call it that. There's barely any context to begin with. Benny and his reality-breaking TV remote.)

First Previous

I made a promise to myself to draw part 3 before the year ended and I did good on my word. The story continues…

CLEM SIDE:

CRYSTAL SIDE:

QUENTIN SIDE...?

Not a question, but I love your art-- you have SUCH a good grasp on the PSYN style, and all of your doodles, sketches, and art are really pleasing to look through. I'm definitely a fan!

Thank you very very much for your kind words 💙 I don't usually receive asks, so this brightened my day. From the bottom of my heart:

September 2022 Doodle Highlights

More under the cut.

man, drawing Sasha is so tricky. I can't ever get him to look right.

Heya hi howdy! Hope your days been well! Anything you’re looking forward to you wanna share? Or any doodles? Any Headcanons you’ve always wanted to talk about but never had the opportunity???

I dunno! Mostly just wanted to say I LOVE your works and look forward to seeing your posts on my dash <3

Oh and, Hi Quentin! (,’

Helloooo! I've been alright. I'm kinda looking forward to when my sister leaves once more so I can play PN1 on her laptop and do Very Important Camper Research on the weekend, but that kinda sounds mean like I WANT her to leave lol. It's not the case.

I've actually been meaning to revisit/redo the previous time I shared headcanons when you asked, but I haven't gotten around to it. I basically took some bulletpoints from my "Thought Compilation" doc and some of my guidelines and observations got mixed in with what could be considered "headcanon" or "interpretation" or whatever. Some of which have been altered/changed due to better understanding the characters as I draw and observe/learn about them more, so that post has become somewhat outdated. This is also part of why I considered making a side blog or something, but I dunno.

ETA on that: Eventually.

Now for doodles. Anything I've done recently will be compiled in a post like I do monthly/bimonthly, so look out for that in August (or whenever I feel the time is right.) There are some things in there I think you may like, but I am not ready to share them yet.

But I do not want you to go empty handed, so I will show some fun things I call "absolute rejects." Some of which do not even exist anymore and the only proof they existed is from crusty phone pictures. I will also share some doodles I did not deem good enough to post. This post is getting long, so I will put them under a handy dandy cut:

This is from October 28, 2023. It's hard to tell, but Lili is the one tickling Raz's nose.

(November 13, 2023) PATHETIC.

(January 22, 2024) Older Phoebe.

(April 12, 2024) An earlier version of older Crystal.

(October 18, 2023) I showed my sister and she said she looked like a mouse. This is why anthro Tala is a mouse.

(October 28, 2023) Benny die lmao. I think this was a request?

(February 11, 2024) I'm not sure how to explain the context.

(February 12, 2024) Or the context to this one either. They are repelling like magnets.

(February 14, 2024) OK!

(March 7, 2024) It is my duty to Megaman-ify everything I like.

(June 16, 2024) ???

(June 17, 2024) I actually thought about including it in the June doodle compilation, but decided against it. I have a soft spot for very early Psychonauts fanart. This is me channeling my younger self to pay tribute to that lol.

Wait, I've got one more thing:

Hello from Quentin. I also want to thank you for leaving kind and enthusiastic words on my drawings! I highly value them and it makes my day to read them.
