THEORY.

I think, in some weird way, that the merchandise and audio give extreme foreshadowing to what's going to happen to certain characters as the story dives, mainly through the art and choice of words.

1. The constant mentioning of Barnaby losing his head is greatly worrying. This is something almost a lot of people know of.

2. Julie is connected to her theater character Sally assigned her with, specifically with the quote of "a harrowing journey of self-discovery and vengeance." This is connected with an old photo that Clown drew of the disturbing woman behind Julie in one of the non-canon art.

3. Remderem being an anagram for Remember, with the d swapping b. This might connect to the hidden 'd' section on an advertisement, alongside the slinky toy being the only toy in the recent update labeled "d" who coincidentally has a "b" in his name.

4. The recipe book cover on Halloween update. This one I'll explain entirely alone.

The picture with Wally being in front symbolizes how he's going to play an important role in the story. Behind him, on a stool, is Sally, Barnaby, and Eddie. Sally was the person who mentioned a monster hidden near the neighborhood, and Eddie who witnessed a weird trip later on in the Christmas update, (not to mention, his face is mainly focused on during Wally eating an apple)

Julie and Howdy are not with anyone and go their separate ways, facing a more individual role for their part. This connects with my Julie theory, and Howdy could be an exception since he knows the stuff he sells isn't really edible.

Poppy and Frank are not in there at all, presumably either no space or they're hiding. Perhaps this is intentional.

Barnaby is in the top center, right above Wally. We don't know much of him knowing or witnessing anything, but I feel there's going to be an importance to him. This could connect with another person's theory about the word "smooth" from the commercials (and in the crispy sweets pancakes recipe) being important in some way or, in my opinion, could foreshadow him, perhaps dying or being the catalyst of whatever insanity to start. He hovers like an angel, with only his head there.

(P.S. in Night Mind's older video, it's mentioned only Barnaby's GIF is clickable.)

So, a few things:

No the comic sadly will not be ready in time for the previous deadline (i underestimated how much time and loving effort go into coloring these guys, and also how long i could go before inevitably going into anime cuddle time with Xerxes)

No i haven’t given up on said comic, it’ll just be a few more days before i can get it finished

I’m going to be taking a break until i get back home from visiting family for the holidays (if i do any work before that point it will be if i have absolutely nothing else to do)

I’m very saddened that i couldn’t meet my goal, but considering the little amount of time i had and how far i got before seeing that i wasn’t going to make it, i’m pretty damn fuckin proud! i’m also proud that i’m able to make the mature decision to admit that i won’t make it, rather than try to stay up all night in a feeble attempt to finish this

however, despite all this, I felt i needed to post something

So, here is a mini preview of what i’m workin with (please not this image may be adjusted i the final form)

I’m sorry to the few who may have been looking forward to it, but i hope that when i do finish, the wait will be worth it

Merry Christmas

Happy Holidays

Today I decided to look for my most popular art piece from the past and redraw it. And that piece waaaaas...

DAVEKAT BEDTIME

Seriously, as of posting this, the original work has exactly 299 notes on it.

That’s 1 away from 300, and it’s the highest number any of my posts have achieved! (the only one even close to it was a crack post of Davekat using one of those “draw the crew” templates and the only other one to break 100 was yet another Davekat post with some Rosemary on the side)

While this is disheartening, I hope that with little things like this I can grow my online presence so i can share my art and comics and stories with the world!

Drawing has always been one of my greatest passions even if I’m not as good at it as others.

I HOPE YOU WILL ALL CONTINUE TO SUPPORT ME!

Love you and happy holidays

(PS: I have plans for a little Christmas piece (and possibly a comic to go with it if I can finish in time) that will go out preferably when it hits midnight, signaling the shift from the 24th to the 25th)
