Messin' With Fan Art


Recommended Posts

Hello, non-starvers! *Ronald Jenkees face* Mind if I join you? Guess it's high time I finally posted something, but there doesn't seem to be a greetings thread anywhere. Or I'm paying too little attention. O___oI've been playing since about uhhhh... May; until now I had been preoccupied editing, translating and transferring stuff for Russian DS wiki. Everything started just too abruptly for me. After playing Don't Starve on my gentleman friend's computer all I could say is: STEAM, SHUT UP AND TAKE MY MONEY!!! Loads of hardcore, uncompromising world aiming solely to kill you, the gruesome creepy sketchiness, the steam\diesel punk attitude, charming Wilson, irreststible Maxwell... I'm head over heels. Fantastico.Klei, you are officially awesome. An avid fan of Gorillaz for ten years, I ignored every other fandom, until now. Nothing has ever been so exciting for me since about 2001. How amazing is that? You deserve a free Internet!Okay, stuffs.Here's something I've done over this time. As you see I'm slightly tilted for Wilson, so if you'd like to see more of other characters, do tell me.A couple of pieces in Odosketch, speedpaint included.post-58933-13764597309337_thumb.jpgSpeedpaint: http://sketch.odopod.com/sketches/737475/editYeah, I shipped these two. Forgive me.post-58933-13764597310082_thumb.jpgSpeedpaint: http://sketch.odopod.com/sketches/739327/editpost-58933-13764597310999_thumb.pngMore pics to be added!

Thanks again, guys :-) This August has been really packed up. Doing hundreds of things every day. Summer's over and I'm back online.

More stuff is apparently coming up, but what I've done over the month needs a serious explanation. I'll try.

In the very beginning I intended to start a full-length Don't Starve comic on a hundred pages just the way I like it, but... well, the niche seems to be occupied. So my story happens to be somewhat of a spin-off. Or a sequel? You decide.It started with a completely random idea of drawing Wilson and Wes in XXI century -- Wilson wearing classic beige chinos, two-coloured Vans Era and typing on his iPad; Wes in a hoodie and skinnies. Turned out pretty neat, and one sunny day walking down the street I suddenly started making a dialogue between them. Ideas just kept coming one by one, layering on each other, not even a weirdest thought was scratched out, and in the end, I got this.

As you may see, it's a draft. I have yet to add Wolfgang, probably Wickerbottom, and most importantly, Maxwell. :grin: And, of course, the story. It's still quite messed up, so I'd better break it in parts.

Looks great, can't wait to see the final result :grin:

Some work-in-progress. I can't say it's finished yet. I'd like to do some more work on Wendy and Wesley. Aaaand do something to Wilson's face, it looks kinda, uh... dead? Anyway. Here's a stub of the plot. If there's any grammar mistakes, most awfully sorry ^^;

 

Some people are thought to have come from another planet. So is Wilson. Looking at him, one would seriously reckon he arrived from the previous century. His politeness is disarming and even the worst-mannered ladies turn into prim young things in front of him. You'd never hear a swearword, nor a filthy joke escaping his lips, he doesn't share pics of his breakfast on Instagram, you will not find him on Twitter; and -- oh goodness -- he spends quite a few minutes to type his own posts on facebook. Today, even this is fairly enough to consider someone a weirdo.

Wilson is a genius. He's truly a genius with IQ of 140. He's young, courteous, heavenly-looking and... short. The straight A student, sporting the Mensa Society ring. A gentleman, looking at the world through unfazed eyes. However, for some reasons his interest in science abruptly vanished and he quit the university without any explanation thereof. He started working as a bartender at the just-opened rockabilly bar, B-52, but two years later, administration's persistent attempts to satisfy as wider audience as possible forced him to give notice. In quite a short while he got a new job, as a system administrator. Everything seemed perfect, on the surface. Until he met the new boss -- the Who-Do-You-Think;

 

William Carter. That's right, he's the guy. =) And his plans on Wilson go far beyond the system maintenance. So far he's being very subtle about his intentions, but Wilson is not quite sure he wants to know what they are.

 

Wes retained his original occupation. He's a street performer. Mostly a living statue and occassionally (when in a better mood) a mime. And hence he's not allowed to talk at work, you'll need quite an effort to shut him up on his free time. A live wire with a huge smile on his face, sometimes he's a little bit too insistent. Very emotional and vulnerable, despite looking shallow.

 

Willow is B-52 employee as well. She's a fire dancer (yeah, WTF; remember what I said about the wider audience?), which is logical, since she's a pyro. Gone crazy for Wilson at the first sight (okay, okay, at the second) and he responded but, unfortunately, on the rebound after a sudden and painful breakup with his girlfriend. As it happens in cases like this, the romance was bright and short, and died very quickly, mostly because of Willow's sadistic inclinations.

 

Wendy has been mourning her sister Abigail for two years, blaming herself for her death. Wilson's childhood friend, she remains a sister figure for him. Unlike Willow, who splashes all her trouble on others, Wendy suffers in silence. The outcome of it may be all kinds of terrible.

 

Wolfgang is a yet another B-52 worker. He's a bouncer, an epic guy with some epic 'stache and epic tattoos. A big dog of the company, mostly nice and harmless but don't you mess with him.

 

Still thinking of what to do to Wickerbottom, I guess she's going to be a personnel manager at Carter's company. Next -- background characters. They are all original, so we'd better examine them guys separately.

Reminds me of the Outsiders for some reason.

Coppola's Outsiders? :)

 

woa, your style is amazing! o:

Thanks :) Same about you.

 

 

I love your character descriptions and cloth styles :wilson_flower: Can't wait to see the rest of the gang!

YESH, I want to add Maxwell so bad, but my perfectionism keeps me polishing him. x____x That dapper beast simply cannot be shy of perfection!

Oh man, I never knew it was a novel in the first place! Makes me feel so guilty right now.

 

Oh, and by the way -- here's a little original DS for you.

Explanation: this year is my final year in college (I major in oil painting) and each of us graduates has to present a subject for The Grand Finale -- the final work, the diploma. Initially I planned to do Decemberist's Revolt of 1825; however, teachers managed to talk me out of it. While thinking of a new subject I learned about the existence of the tiny masterpiece that is Don't Starve. Simultaneously, I got my hands on Howard Lovecraft.

By the beginning of September I was seriously obsessed with Wilson (oh this tiny spiky ball of awesome!) and couldn't think of anything else. So yeah, the idea was -- what if I paint the gentleman scientist at work and say it's all based on Lovecraft's writing?

It took quite a few loud words, proving and arguing, but I got the permission. Now I have to convince the teachers that Wilson is Antoine from The Alchemist. XD It's a quick sketch, kinda raw, kinda awkward. I hope yet to bring it to a better state in a while.
