I Need U Guys To Go Listen To The Ballad Of Floyd Collins Right Now

posting my old art - eye studies

i can count the amount of times i've drawn jon on my two hands lmao

it’s so amazing to see an active newsies content creator in the wild! Your drawings are so beautiful and it always makes me smile to see them while I scroll.

what got you into newsies??

this is so sweet 😭 i'm glad sharing my art can make people smile, because i love making it :))

i've known about newsies since my girlfriend recommended it to me a couple months ago and i'm gonna be so honest with you i have almost no clue as to why i got into newsies (i can tell you why i love it though!) but i think it was because i got to see the great gatsby musical live, went home and listened to the broadway recording, wanted more jeremy jordan content and knew that he was in newsies, lol. then i must've rewatched the proshot on disney+ and fell in love with it :p

anyway! that was a very long winded way of saying "no fucking clue man" but have a doodle!!! :D

who the fuck reposted my art on pinterest

emotional support davey

have my shitty floyd collins school doodles because i started doing literary analysis/critique of the musical in a science course. cannot get this musical out my head. anyway look it's my son (jewell estes)

OMG!!! @olithegeek i'm sorry i'm very frequently sleepy and tired ahaha, an extra detail i forgot to mention is that you'll want to slip stitch the long ends of the tentacles together once you have the strip (of the primary and secondary color) which will join it into the proper tentacle shape and also make it curly!! sorry for leaving that bit out!! ^^;;;

Any chance I could get a pattern for the crochet octokitten?? Its adorable

hii! i want to preface this with a couple of things. first of all!! this is so flattering! i'm glad you find my creation that i basically made up on the fly cute /)///(\

unfortunately, making something up on the fly means... i didn't really make a pattern or take too many notes, because i really intended on the octokitten being a thing that i just made once, lol. HOWEVER!!! because of your ask i did try to replicate what i did, i think i messed up some stitches that make it difficult to make out what i did exactly. so while i provide a pattern, it is decidedly not the same looking octokitten, and you are welcome to play around with it and modify it as you see fit!! while this pattern might not be the MOST reliable, i did make another octokitten according to it and it turned out really cute and proportional as well.

pattern and other information under the cut:

i used 3 colors of 4.0 mm yarn (although the brown yarn is of a slightly stiffer quality and is a bit thicker and might be 5.0. but i'm sure it doesn't make that much of a difference :p). so you'll have your primary color (body color), secondary color (half of the tentacle color) and tertiary color (if you're sewing/embroidering on eyes like i did. you can also use the plastic ones if you have them, or more accurate to octokitten canon, buttons.)

head: 1 - magic circle 6 2 - inc (all around) 3 - sc 2, inc (all around) 4 - inc, sc3 (all around) 5-7 - sc all around 8 - dc, sc3 (all around) 9 - dc, sc2 (all around)

ears: ch 4 + ch 1 turn piece and slip stitch half double crochet half double crochet double crochet

body: (this is where i'm very unsure of what i did ToT) 1 - magic circle 6 2 - inc (all around) 3 - sc, inc (all around) 4 - inc, sc2 (all around) 5-7 sc (all around) 8 - 10 sc, dc (all around) 9 - 8 sc, dc (all around) 10 - 7 sc, dc (all around) 11-16 - sc (all around) 17 - 2 sc, dc (all around)

tentacles (x8): (start with the secondary color) ch 25 + ch 2 turn piece and half double crochet all the way to the end change to primary (body) color and double crochet all the way to the end

and sew it all together!

if you have any questions, whether it be about my pattern formatting (since i've never done something like this), particular wording, or whatever else, i'm very happy to answer them :))

Your doodles are awesome.

thank you so much!! :D

yay newsies sketches uvu
