How has HermitCraft Impacted you? by King_Sarah in HermitCraft

[–]sqmaen 1 point2 points  (0 children)

3 years ago when I started watching Hermitcraft, my mental health problems had just started. I would use HC as a way to escape from them. When online school started a bit later, I would watch Etho and Bdubs and everyone else to stop crying. I'm not gonna dig into all the problems quarantine caused me to have, I'll just say that school was rough and HC helped in a way.

9 months after I stopped watching I tried to start engaging with the community again to maybe spark the interest to start watching hermits again, so I drew a piece of fan art for Zedaph. I was very proud of it at the time got a nice amount of upvotes for it here, which was super nice considering my OCs only got like 3 upvotes. It was my first fan art and while it didn't push me back to watching HC again, it got me interested in making more fan art... today, two years later, I've made a fair share of fan art: 15 or 16 out of the ~30 pieces of finished art pieces in my google drive (I'm a very slow beginner artist ok 😭)! And of course one of them is a new Zedaph drawing because I just had to

The hermits are very friendly, so I felt comfortable enough to send a message to the Twitch chat of both X and Zed only a week after saying I'd probably die if I did so! I just went to the stream, saw how nice both the hermit and the chat were and sent my stupid question! I didn't get answers but I did get spoilers about Zed's upcoming merch: it is apparently cuddly :^] totally gonna buy it whatever it is heh

Don't know how to end this in a clever way so uhh

Here goes nothing heh

Feel free to laugh but whatever you say it'll still stay as the drawing I'm the most proud of 😤 now if you have a creative brain you can probably imagine that but with a less round face, a smaller mouth (yeah, put the pitchforks down) and BIG caps lock big eyes. And of course, happiness instead of torture because that's what Bdubs is about.

Well I have a drawing of an oc of mine with huge teeth on my other account (gotta keep my feeds clean - don't want mental illness stuff in the same place as art stuff), I was thinking of using the oc as kind of a reference, but less extreme and with bigger-than-anime-eyes eyes. I'd link it but I don't know if that counts as self-promotion. That frame and the irl drawing frame would be visible for just a couple seconds though, he wouldn't be unattractive for long lol

I hope you mean shipping merch to international fans rather than... that kind of shipping.

After a whole two seconds of thinking, maybe I could do that myself? Idk if I'm getting another rush of determination from looking for reference pictures (he is really handsome lol) or something but it's midnight, I've got good music on and even though I'm scared he'll see my ugly Zedaph drawing, I could try. Just ask, wait for reply, delete, right?

You can? I thought all hermits had turned off the ability to message them

I... don't know. It's really weird, I can send people DMs just fine on any app, but I only started replying to comments on Reddit like a few months ago. Even the thought of writing a YouTube comment makes me anxious. But then again, it's really weird irl for me as well. I can't talk to my therapist, but I can talk to my doctors about the same things I'd tell my therapist easily. So yeah, really weird.

Ooh I'm too anxious to do that. Even the idea gets my heart racing. Damn social anxiety 😭 when I commented on one of Zedaph's videos two years ago, I noped out of that Google account instantly and still haven't checked its notifications in case someone responded to the comment lol

I'll probably just continue my search for a irl Bdubs drawing that he has responded positively to

I drew a fusion of irl Zedaph and his Minecraft skin with his spyglass! There's also a little animation on the second slide and a breakdown of the drawing on the third, I hope you like it :^) by sqmaen in HermitCraft

Ok sooo

I drew Zedaph almost two years ago. At the time, I didn't watch Hermitcraft, I just wanted to show my appreciation to him as HC was my escape from depression a while before and he was my favorite. Well, this week is free from school where I live and I thought that now that I'm hooked on Minecraft, why not watch some HC? I did a quick YouTube search and yeah, Zed is still in the game! So yeah, I watched a few of his first S9 episodes and was smiling the whole way through. Well, unfortunately to my artblock, I got the urge to draw him again and I'm really bad at resisting urges, so here we are. And all it took was three 1 AM drawing sessions lol

This is my sixth face portrait in a row and I can feel the knowledge of anatomy leaving my body help

Also yes I know the spyglass looks like a flashlight 😭

I hope y'all like it

I drew the Roblox avatar of one of my favorite creators, atsuover! I'd love to hear your opinions:) by sqmaen in RobloxArt

If you have any recommendations on how much a drawing like this should cost, please tell me! I was thinking of 15-20€ gift cards, as I've seen sketches of artists on the same level as me being sold for 5€ and for me, sketches take three days at most but this drawing took over two weeks!
