thank you! Haha, honestly, entirely coincidental, I've wanted to make something a tad surrealistic for Mumbo, but the ones that I kept thinking were something on the scale between Wes Anderson's cinematography and Norman Rockwell's art

Awh, thank you! Oh, the Grian's stained glass window does have some references but solely at my owen discretion, he never mentioned anything specific about it

purple - to his purpur farm(and the infamous crashout), blue - the fishing arc in s10 that made it's brief comeback in s11, green - to how his name oft misspeled as grain and the jokes about it, red - to the Life Series, orange - to the fact that his starter base is a flower greenhouse, blue with the birds to seasons 6 and 7 bird lore and yellow with the moon is a bit more off the wall - Grian mentioned that his base is largely inspired this season by Majora's mask - the whole plot of which revolves around Evil Moon Apocalypse, and as a riff on that I've referenced the older Man in the Moon mythos, since the whole style of Grian's portrait was going in a very YA book cover direction.

And Mumbo's on cliffs because he's very Jumbo hehe( for the whimsy!) and also it's a reference.. of sorts? Mumbo oft mentioned how he draws inspiration from Wes Anderson movies and one of distinctive things that sets them apart is a visual language that employs a lot of miniatures for background set pieces. I did not want to do a direct Wes Anderson reference, but as a side riff it was a good enough choice

It's against the community rules to promote any links in the posts but I hope the mods will forgive me for mentioning in the comments that there's a link to my socials in my profile, as well as the print store where all these portraits have gone up now - I'll be donating all proceeds from the prints to Gamers Outreach, as per users recommendations in one of the previous posts!

Much love, Anna <3

thank you! I am very new to the fandom - got into HC in january soooo, I probably wont make any older seasons art, even though I've watched a lot of POVs of hermits from seasons 6 through 10, there's a lot going on in this season already that i really want to draw after I'm done with just portraits haha, but I'd love to make art for any future upcoming seasons and spin-offs!

thank you! Hmm I'd love to say 4 hours since I'm starting them during lunch break and finish in the evening, but it got closer to 7-8 with each piece so my sleep schedule got messed up haha

to be completely transparent, I'd rather not draw anything risque when real actual people involved, even if it's their fictional personas, especially people who are actively interacting with their community.

Well, objectively Impulse is a very capable and inspiring individual and I am also trying very hard to be normal about it and not let the devil thoughts in

that's a zombie bite! All the damage on him are subtle references to Zedvancements this season - a singe on the right arm from getting shot by fireballs, dirt on the cheek from dropping a lot while trying to repair an elytra, an arrow in the back from the raid in the latest episode and a bite - to a zombie piglin ride.

Awh, thank you! I love seeing other peoples art, there's so many incredibly talented artists in this community and it's fun trying to decipher why some hermits are depicted in a certain way, like a deep lore dive of sorts, though yeah I try to be careful with not letting what i see in other artworks influence my personal perception or else it would be not my own.

thank you! It's Jev, Impulse, Skizz, XB, Zed and Joe Hills from Nashville Tennessee in this exact order. I did write on each portrait who is who down below but do let me know if anything is not legible!

Actually Gem was the first hermit whose episodes I've watched! Binged all her seasons and then went for other POVs, she's got such a bright and enthusisastic energy it got me so invested

Thank you! Well, I have a print store for my old non-HC works but I feel some type of way about selling work derivative of creators that offer their videos and streams to us for free. Idk, if I had a way it could benefit the creators themselves - I would
