Thank you for the kind words! This made my day!

Your work, your work, YOUR WORK. It's genuinely perplexing how photo-realistic your artwork is! That it requires a double take to process that this is, indeed, a drawing crafted by real human hands! I am both flabbergasted and speechless at not only your truly exquisite artistic abilities, but that the very idea of not giving you a watch. Looking forward in disbelief to your next greatest piece!

I'd be a madman if I were to do any less dear sir! For your artwork and work ethic are simply astronomical! Your art pieces express such harmony and fluidity between your mind, hand and pen, resulting in true mesmerizing ink work. Your artwork alone is a real inspiration, that deserves my humble admiration! From here on out, I look forward to your future artistic ventures, with great anticipation!

Why you're very welcome, sir Oliver. I must admit, I'm quite interested in the comic series you plan to make, that stars your very own character, Billy Mummy. The very thought of using the rubber hose style as the sole backdrop is such a wonderful idea! There's just so much that can be accomplished with this masterful style at the helm, through its character designs, settings and scenarios, all truly limitless! So I had to stay tuned, and what better way to keep informed then to give you a watch! But don't let these words or anyone rush you on the matter, for works like this require time, dedication and passion!

You're welcome, sir Oliver. I believe that such works much like your own, are well deserving of merit, especially when the aim to stay true to the ethics of the era's style. Oh, and thank you for choosing to add me to your deviantWATCH, I sure hope my future artwork does not disappoint. If you wish to learn the ways of the rubberhose style, I wouldn't recommend solely depending on other artists' depictions of the style as learning material, they're more a kin to inspirational pieces then how-to's. Speaking of how-to's, books on the matter are quite scarce on the subject, only leading to a few passages about the style (If there was a book that went deep into detail about said topic, I'd already have it in my possession so that I may study every inch of it. But as of yet...). How-to's in the form of videos however, are quite plentiful yes, but aside from these three "Cuphead's Animation Process and Philosophy" (Here you'll see Jake Clark as he explains his design and animation processes for the game Cuphead, note the segment "What makes a 1930's Design?" it is integral that you both understand and memorize all of those five bullet points listed), "Cuphead - A Knockout! Artist Talk - Nov 24 2017" (Much like the first video, but instead it's Tina Nawrocki who's presenting. Be sure to pay close attention to her unique designs, it's that of a master's it is) and "The Style & Substance of Cuphead's Animation" (A quaint little video, filled with helpful observations) I wouldn't be able to recommend any others in good faith. Although a simple search on the internet for 1930's character sheets yields promising results (A great baseline if you will, as well as practice). But to truly learn from the style, I strongly suggest following in the footsteps of the Moldenhauer Brothers themselves and study closely, those old timey cartoons [As long as a good majority of those cartoons were produced by Fleischer Studios, you're on the right track (Here are a few recommendations to help you get started: Swing You Sinners!, The Old Man Of The Mountain, Bimbo's Initiation, Snow White, and Minnie The Moocher.). Same goes for early Disney as long as it doesn't proceed past the 20's. Even those odd ball russian ones count too.]. Frame by frame, see how they emote, how they carry their weight, how they're designed. Take notes, draw parallels, make conclusions, and all the while always refer to those five bullet points. And once you feel like your up for drawing, start off small, stick to what's on screen. Understand and visualize the three-dimensional space taken up by the character or object, then execute that idea on a 2-D plane in the form of a character sheet. With enough patience, persistence and most importantly practice you'll be able to master this step in no time! Thus taking on more complex designs with greater ease. So if you truly are serious about mastering the art of the rubberhose style, then I must implore that you heed my advice. And with that, I wish you a good day, sir Oliver.

Oh why thank you miss Aileen, that's so very nice of you to say! It's not often that I hear such nice things. Well as you may have seen from my artwork, I strive to emulate the style of the 1930's as accurately as possible, and it's comments like your's that not only brighten up my day, but also reassures me of this ability. And I must say, your interpretation although a bit inspired, is quite pleasant to the eye. I sure hope you keep up the good work, and thank you again!

aww~!Β It's nice that they accept compliments, apart from my life they are also the 1930s drawings, I think those are the best!!, and your style is completely wonderful, I don't know why you try to improve :,3, I love your style!!!

There's no way I can resist Delphox's natural charms, so of course you deserve the favoruites! But what really won my heart, was your Delphox "Racheal" wearing a gorgeously lavish poofy Victorian dress, soaked in a vibrant array of deep reds and adorned with all the ribbons and bows! Oh, simply thinking about Delphox in such beautiful attire, just takes my breath away. Honestly, I can't thank you enough for drawing and posting such divine artwork of one of my favorite Pokemon, Delphox!

There isn't a doubt in my mind on why I shouldn't have, me lass. I love your Team fortress 2 artwork and comics, and how on model the characters are (its as if they've been ripped straight form the game or Garry's Mod itself!), even their interactions with each other are on point (changing the text to help fit their respective accents is a lovely touch indeed)! Not to mention your German lessons with the medic himself are truly mind blowing, they're so rich in detail that it's quite intimidating (let alone the fact that the German language is quite difficult to pick up), but don't worry I do wish to indulge in those German lessons one of these days! Until then, I look forward to your future endeavors that involves the Team fortress 2 universe!

Oh my god, that's such a nice and elaborate reply, I don't even know what to say! Thank you so much for the kind words!

Your very welcome miss. I genuinely enjoy observing new and upcoming artists such as yourself, especially how a beginning artists' work grows and evolves over time. So I sure hope you continue to refine your technique through the ways of traditional art, for with enough effort and passion, your artwork could only get better from here on out!

Aww thank you so much! It means a lot honestly.

Oh, thank you, thank you, thank you! Just reading your first sentence fills me with a sense of blissful happiness!! The fact that you went out of your way to say such kind words (a little unprompted), is truly flattering to where it makes me blush! And yes, yes I do ink all my final pieces! It's a three step process, first I start off with drawing the character or object I wish to develop on a notebook, this includes multiple poses, various facial expressions, and even a reworking of said character or object if needed. Once fully fleshed-out and all of the style's rules are met, I then proceed to draw the character or object on a clean white sheet of paper, with nothing more but a simple pencil in hand (along with an eraser of course). As soon as the foundation for the character or object is laid out in full, I'll then finally begin to carefully ink every inch of the piece with a normal pen, and as an added measure I'll ink an extra layer all around the outside of the character or object, leaving a nice black border called an outline, all done free hand! Which then would most likely be posted here (although I've been on the fence about posting penciled work)! Ether way, I'm so delighted to hear that you really like my work, and my interpretation of the style. There isn't anything I enjoy more then converting characters and/or objects into the style of the 1930's as accurately as possible, for it is both challenging and a true test to the near-limitless reach of the style! Where creating my own characters comes at second best (speaking of, I've got a whole bunch of my own new characters coming out sometime soon)! Don't worry, I plan on keeping up the quality of good work, I love the art of drawing and the style itself to much to give up now! And here's hoping you do the same, for your animation is simply outstanding!

Of course my good sir, how could I not? Your style of drawing is so misty and shadowy but at the same time very clear and descriptive, truly a wonder to view! And I just love how you genuinely channel Stephen Gammell's art style (from those old "scary stories to tell in the dark" books I use to occasionally read back in my heyday) in your work, with all it's twists, turns and broken features, even down to the to the smallest of details like the tufts of fur and the thin strands of hair, all masterfully done! Good on you!

Had to take some time to respond to this, because WOWZA!Β OwO
I've loved Gammell's work since I was a kid, but was always too afraid to try mimicking it because I didn't think I'd have a snowball's chance in hell of doing it justice.Β Β
Thank you SO MUCH.Β I appreciate it GREATLY.Β Makes me feel good to know I've managed to pick something up from one of my artistic heroes if I have this many people giving me such heartfelt compliments.Β Β
Actually had a few of them come in pissed off because they thought I was stealing Gammell's work and posting it as my own before they realized it was fanart, lol.Β XD

It's alright, there's no need to rush (If anything I should apologize for my lateness in responding to your response.), and I completely and wholeheartedly understand the feeling of falling in love with a particular art style as a young lad, but must sadly come to the conclusion that, as a child, it's quite impossible to perfectly imitate such an intricate style that could take up to years to hone and master. I could barely draw straight lines without the aid of rulers at that age, so with that inclination I went on to draw other not so complex things like houses, trees and stick figures. Then over the years I've gradually started to forget about those old timey cartoons, and it'd all would have been lost to time if it weren't for that one day, the day I saw an article about a video game dubbed cuphead. And soon interest would turn into full blown obsession, once the game came out. I am both flabbergasted and taken by MDHR's passionate care to detail in the creation of the game's presentation and animation, that it reforged my old love for those old timey cartoons and inspired me to conform all my artistic abilities into solely emulating the style of the 1930's (My, I went off on a bit of a tangent did I, sorry about that.)!
You're very welcome, and you should feel good, for any artist who's able to replicate a style in such detail and heart, is truly worthy of praise, and my outlook on the commenters who come in a bit steamed over non existent art theft; there is no greater complement, then being mistaken for the real deal.

Hey i noticed that you been visiting my page alot is there something up?
π: 0 β©: 1
I'm sorry, my internet has been acting up lately, and I kept finding myself having to reload your deviantart page. For I was browsing through your art gallery and may I say what a fine assortment you have, I especially adore the pictures you took of your cats! But to be honest, I believe the main culprit of this whole debacle was my failure to properly vote on one of your polls, in this case it was the poll asking if you are a fan of the LISA games (which I am, "hintz" why I proceeded to vote). So I drew my mouse cursor over the worded option that said yes and clicked, but nothing happened so I clicked again, same as last time, nothing. Perhaps this is my internet's doing I thought, as a result I refreshed your deviantart page in hopes that my vote will go through, and I clicked on the worded option, and same like before nothing happened. A little frustrated, I clicked on the two other worded options to see if they worked, and they didn't. Once again I reload your deviantart page, then clicked on all the worded options, nothing. I was about to give up, until I noticed there was a blue box under the worded options that said vote. With that inclination I figured that this is what I needed to click on this whole time! And I did so, eagerly waiting for my chance to finally vote, but instead I was met with the poll's percentages. In confusion I reloaded your deviantart page to see if I could vote at all, but could no longer see the worded options anymore, in its place I saw the poll's percentages. And shortly after to my dismay, I learned that in order to vote correctly, I don't click on the worded options, instead I needed to click on the little bubble that's on the left side of the worded options. And now that I know how vote, I can't vote at all because I already voted, without choosing any of the worded options, and I can't find anyway to undo this choice. But I'll have you know that I am a fan of LISA games both official and fan made! Sorry about all the reading, I just hope this clears up why I visited your deviantart page so many times, and again sorry about bothering you, it was my first time voting on deviantart.

Oh thats very understandable XD i have internet issues lately too since its been raining for a long time im glad you liked the cat pictures and such- im glad to met a other lisa fan too ;w;

Thank you so much for understanding (and again, sorry for all the trouble) and likewise, even though I've yet to post any art related to the LISA games doesn't make me any less of a fan, Oh speaking of which and if you don't mind me asking, what drew you in and made you a fan of the LISA games? Was it its grim and tragic story, or the stern but devoted father Brad Armstrong, or his 30+ recruitable party members each sporting their our unique play styles, or perhaps it the vast post-apocalyptic wasteland setting full of quirkiness and horror, or probably its the game's fantastically varied and catchy score, or maybe it's the game's thrilling and strategic battle system,or could it be the Mother like sprite work and simplistic animations, it could even be its 2D platforming and the hunt for secret stashes! Just asking out of curiosity is all, if it's no trouble to you that is.

Donβt worry I havenβt posted fan art too
I got into Lisa from how grim it was and the battle system, I also kinda relate to some of the characters like brad and buzzo

I must simply agree, in fact I find all of those points listed earlier quite charming. But if I had to chose my favorite out of the bunch, it'd be the game's outstandingly chaotic and uncomfortable music, followed by its vast world filled with outlandish odysseys, humororus weirdos and out right nightmares, and its battle system by a close second! But still a mighty fun game, none the less! Oh, speaking of terribly tragic and depressing RPGs have you ever hear of the official sequel to earthbound, the one that has yet to be localized possibly due to how messed up it gets. If not, please allow me to introduce you to one of the greatest RPGs ever made, Mother 3! And if that name doesn't ring a bell, that's even better! There's no need to tell you anymore, for I think in doing so would only ruin your experience. But if there'd be a few things I should mention, it'd be that I insist that you play earthbound first, then Mother 3 just so you'd have the full contents of the games. And once you get to Mother 3 make sure you see to it till the end, no mater how hard it gets, trust me it's well worth it! Oh and of course, go in as blind as possible, to make your journey more impactful that is! (I'm sorry about forcing my favorite game of all time onto you, I've been so obsessed with Mother 3 ever since my favorite streamer played it. I'm just hoping more people would experience the true beauty, that is the Mother series! Especially Mother 3, my what a delight that would be.)
