Hermitcraft Joel - Blog Posts

Not to make an overly specific post but I just finished watching Joel SmallishBean's latest Hermitcraft video and he said he wanted to get a blue axolotl and i-

i just got flashbacks

to when sneeg spent like 9+ hours breeding axolotls in order to find a singular blue one

so uh.... good luck joel

Grrrr i already finished the next chapter for wolau DAYS ago, but i need to finish this painting before i can post it >:(

Here's the lineart/sketch lol :D it's inspired by Joel's Squid shop!

[Day 30]: TANUKI JOEL TANUKI JOEL TANUKI JOEL-

(Whenever i export animations, procreate sometimes messes up the colors a bit? It looks fine on my ipad, but the animation is desaturated on my phone, so here's what it should look like:)

Anyways, i thought it would be funny to draw Joel summoning Effo, inspired by Grian & Scar summoning mumbo during season 8. It turned out even sillier than i thought it would and i absolutely love it wkdhwjd

(explanation of the animation + sketch of the tail below!)

Also wanted to show off the sketch since it shows off the movement a lot better! I did end up changing a LOT (and even ended up adding some frames where i did lineart w/o a sketch inbetween... Oop-) but u can still kind of see the drag and offset?

So basically: since the tail isn't a stiff object like... A table or sth, it has multiple 'joints' (<-don't remember the proper term for it). Now, if u animated the tail just moving back and forth it would look v v stiff and wierd, since irl the tip of the tail would be "dragged along" with the bottom (<-aka the ACTUAL joint that the movement originates from). To create a more organic and realistic movement, you need to slightly delay the other parts of the tail. I usually use those lil circles to sketch this out at first, since its a lot easier to do without having to worry about shape and perspective and such.

(in theory i know wayyy too much about animation, but in practice im still struggling to do it bc i don't have much experience animating ekfhakdj- i do know the theory p well, which is why im hoping his lil explanation might help someone! Let me know if u guys want me to include some art theory lessons more often :D)

Honey Honey Honey..... Must be runny....

I’ve been working on this drawing for a while and was planning to do a background but kinda lost patience with it lol so uhh here

It for a story I have in my head that is somewhere in the space between an au and headcannons about winner Joel. Also it was really fun imagining what sort of pajamas c!joel would wear. My favorite part is the fuzzy socks, and also yes those are *technically* his swim trunks but whatever he seems like he would wear swim trunks to bed anyway lol. It’s meant to be like him waking back up on Hermitcraft after he won. If anyone is interested in hearing about this au/complicated series of headcannons I will happily ramble!

everyone better compliment me I’m looking at u person reading this I was gonna demand you all notice one specific part but actually I’m proud of all of this. Also he has a Mohawk because Risi is obsessed with bald Joel and I like drawing him with long hair so compromise! /sily also Mohawk oriental-cyberpunk Joel is cool as heck. Also the crown says wild life but tumblr killed the quality.

some sketchbook Joel’s (a small slice of Gem’s face also appears lol)

I want to probably do a polished version of the fight club one later. And maybe try to make Gem look less excited to be murdered. Expressions are hard, ok?!

as for doll Joel *picks up package and shakes him up and down violently* I just think he’s neat.

Edit: also ignore the thing I blocked out on emo Joel drawing it was a insane little ramble I didn’t want to inflict upon you all lol

Another banger! The art is so good!!! It’s so goooooooooooddd! Ahhhhh! Words of affirmation go here! I am actually addicted to this concept.

Also thank you for educating us on the teachings of the book of Jeremy, all hail Jeremy we are not a cult amen.

on further results, gem discovered this happens whenever lizzie,eefo jimmy or iskall look at him btw👍

fellow jeremy - @iandoubt ,as a phd holder in the religous studies of jeremyism, graduated from Shrek university, i believe this song is an ancient hymn that was lost in the translations of the book of jeremy following the great larry scandal.

uhh but im not very good at analaysing songs unfortunately lol i hope ull accept my sketch instead!! and tysm for the ask and the compliments!!! i really liked the concept of that one, so im glad u like it too!!! i have another idea in me head for lizzie, that this gave me the motivation to make lol

The top Ravager Rush players have been passive aggressively tweeting their scores back and forth at each other, and then Jevin said this:

And then the demons temporarily possessed me and when I woke up there was this:

Someone pointed this out already, but; jelly beans.

I will leave you with that.

(I made this at three am and I don’t know why)

I was watching Joel’s latest video, and I had a thought about his armor trim

Ok, but do you see the vision?

(I’m perfectly aware that this is a terrible screenshot, shut up)

idk, just a silly doodle

And thats a wrap folks!! Happy day 30 and 31 of hermit-a-day-may to all who celebrate!

This has been a great month full of so much cool art. A huge thank you to Luna for organizing this event for the second year in a row. You do so much to make sure this happens and it is SO appreciated.

So, same time next year?
