No Because What Am I Doing Tho… What Have Things Come To Lmao… Why Were They Muppet Roommates

IS YOUR BANNER JERRY RUNNING FROM DEAN 😭😭

LMAOOO YES istg there is a thought behind it (a really stupid thought) I’m gonna make a post about it some time soon but I’m still trying to figure out how tumblr works and all the proper etiquette etc but omg I didn’t expect anyone to notice it rn 🤣

When the dork in the yellow vest sings “Broadway rhythm everybody dance” everyone better dance

Happy “this is my lucky day” March 23th 24th

I’m inconsolably jealous of the artists that got to work on the Martin+Lewis series for DC comics

why yo butt so big

Why you lookin at it 👁️👁️

Oh boy what a day, what a duo, here’s another doodle. Happy Martin and Lewis Day~

Hiii - wanted to say first thing first I love your art style, it's so dynamic and fun and those color palettes? Stunning ^^

And second thing second, just some food for thought if you ever want to get angsty about Jerry and Dean, coffee by Chappell Roan sounds like it was written about their break up specifically and I can't stop thinking abt it dndnden

*Cue me losing my mind*

Hiii- they say flattery gets you everywhere and turns out with me, it gets you animatics- jkjk but I do appreciate the kind comments ^^

I’ll put up the animatic separately and take the opportunity to leave the preamble here to keep the video post neat bc until someone tells me to shut up and just post art- I’m gonna ramble… So here’s the commentary you didn’t ask for along with my favourite panels:

First off- You turned me into a big time Chappell Roan listener which is great bc I need music recs to fix my listening habits before Spotify wrapped drops. My roundup last year was shameful… Red Wine Supernova is my new dish washing song.

Even tho it’s not the song’s vibe I kept the content as silly as I could for my own sanity. I don’t love getting too deep into the serious/sad side of M+L for a few reasons but I do find it all very interesting. Point being this song was too good to pass up doing something a bit bigger for.

Ngl tho- this did have me pulling out hair at multiple points. I never colour animatics, rarely even tone them- but you mentioned colour palettes and I was determined to deliver so pardon the messy colouring but (that was the tradeoff) I did not have it in me to stay in the lines. I’m choosing to be kind to myself and opt to call it an artistic choice and not midway burnout. And nothing was gonna get me to open after effects/premiere not even the janky ass golf ball OML this only makes sense if u watch the video.

There are parts of this I’m SO happy with and others I hate. I think it’s really obvious which sections I started losing steam on but overall I lowkey like the end product. Nothing I make will ever be good/perfect- this was one hell of a practice in accepting that lmao- but I can still be ok with the work problems and all yknow? I very nearly shelved this completely bc I got so worked up about the maybe 5 panels I dislike out of 106 total. Counting them was eye opening to ask myself: you’re gonna let that small a ratio stop you from sharing this after putting in days and days of effort? The insecurity goes deep and TBH getting asks has been a nice way of working through it since I post the art I make for answers no matter what only bc I KNOW someone out there wants to see it. It might not sound it but it’s actually quite positive.

Also, although I feel I’ve done my fair share of reading, I’m no expert. So if anything is really off point- sorry my bad (I won’t fix it tho bc I cannot physically stand to look at this another second lol)

I tried to stick to real things found in articles/books/photos/interviews etc bc outside of obviously fictional AUs I’m not super into making stuff up about them (and who needs to I mean the legit stuff is already insane enough) Sure I framed the events in specific ways to suit the song and some aspects are fictionalized (mainly bc the referenced written accounts lacked detail to draw 100% faithfully from anyhow) but otherwise I got my sources cited.

ANYWAYS… sorry for hijacking this answer I need to learn to chill out. Irl I’m a pretty reserved talker so you can tell I’m in a comfy place when I let loose and blather on endlessly lmao brevity is not a skill I possess.

You were probably expecting illustrations or smth but I hope what I came up with is still somewhat alright AND please don’t let my complaining fool you, I genuinely loved making this.

One FINAL Relevant Note: the line “nowhere else is safe every place leads back to your place” is gut wrenching. You’re so right about this song perfectly describing the break up. They always came back to each other and there’s something so devastating about that kind of haunting human connection.

OkAY I’m done promise- I thought I’d implode if I didn’t get all that out

Ev’ry street’s a boulevard in ol’ NYC

Pick any random M+L moment and it just sounds outlandishly farcical, like:

Cross my heart and hope to die- I didn’t draw Dean Martin “King of Cool” ™ stomping on Jerry Lewis’s bike like a four year old just for kicks and giggles- he DID it

@fredandginger64 l don’t know how anyone could believe half the stuff these two got up to if there wasn’t documentation lol

Side note: ik the aspect ratios are scuffed af T^T This was meant to be a comic and there’s no planning ahead for 3am animatic impulses.

It is now a friday night tradition to draw a Fred and Ginger on my long train commute home

My current method for motivation is:

Put on Martin and Lewis 2002> work like hell> finish my task super fast> reward myself by turning off the movie
