Further proves my theory that Grian acts all chaotic in game but in reality is just some sweet British neighbor that would bake cookies for all of us if he got the chance
All of Grian's signs to other Hermit's in this video.
















Excluding Mumbo's because it was kind of a diss on the back of his base. I'm so proud of all the Hermits this season, and i'm so excited for season 10. Can't wait for all the amazing things they will do.
This took me frreaaakin forever so any attention is MUCH appreciated.










For the last two years I have been writing a story about Hermitcraft. It all started when I read that wonderful Hermitcraft story, "And The Universe Shifts" and the amazing, "Red Sun Never Sets". These stories where so incredible I wanted to see more of that universe so I was inspired to write a fic of my own, a very challenging thing considering I have Dyslexia and struggle deeply with reading/writing. But it's been an incredible journey writing this story, I have pushed myself to the limits as a writer and have gotten some amazing feedback, advice, and corrections from y'all. And just recently I started drawing fart (fan+art) for each chapter, which has been a truely intimidating because I'm not confident in my art skills. But I've really grown as the chapters went on and I'm thankful to have pushed myself. Now I'm working on an animation, something I NEVER thought I could do. This has been very fun, thank you Hermitcraft community for just being awesome and inspiring us to creatively push yourself in building, redstoning, drawing, gaming, animating, storytelling, and more.
Oh, and if you're interested in checking it out, here's the links-

Haha, pretty rusty so far but excited to see where I take it. I want to give more facial expressions and add more motion to the photo, hopefully then it will be the intense mood I'm going for.

Working on some Cleo & Joe art for future chapters of Forbidden or Forgotten. I don't know which chapter, I'm just really desperate to draw Zombiecleo, her whole esthetic is sooooo fun to work with.
These are the first sketches, show you more as it goes on!👍
Can we take a moment to appreciate what Cleo has done to YouTube auto-fill

Chapter 5!! Audio version Forgotten or Forbidden [a Hermitcraft Story]

has this been done yet?
from that one scene from parks and rec.

The 4G's, and Martyn
Look it's a Cleo and a Joe.
Wonder what problems they would cause on purpose.

HERMIT A DAY MAY - DAY 24
ZombieCleo x Junji Ito

For Cleo I chose the work of Junji Ito! Specifically I looked at references from Uzumaki, Ribs Woman, She is a Slow Walker, The Enigma of Amigara Fault, and Tomie.
Junji Ito is a master of horror illustration, specializing in body horror and surreal horror. As such his works are not appropriate for younger readers (it will give you nightmares).
In fact, I toned this Cleo quite a lot for the final draft, but I am still tagging this with a number of horror related tags in case people have those filtered out on their dash.
To learn more about Junji Ito's work and see my style references, go below the cut.
@hermitadaymay (but I understand if you choose not to reblog this one)
(Gamers outreach fundraiser)
Junji Ito is a Japanese manga artist who writes and illustrates uniquely disturbing horror stories. Most of his works are fairly short and are best enjoyed in one sitting for maximum suspense.
His most famous work however, Uzumaki, is a full-length, 19 chapter surreal/psychological horror about a town that is slowly consumed by a plague of spirals. It's really difficult to explain how disturbing the story is from such an odd concept but trust me, if you are a fan of scary stories and haven't read Uzumaki yet, you are missing out on some of the best horror out there.
My personal favourite Junji Ito story is The Enigma of Amigara Fault. This is a story about mysterious, human shaped holes that appear in the side of a mountain. When someone sees the hole that fits them they are driven by a strange compulsion to enter. That's it, that's the story. Please go read it - it's horrifying.
Im a big fan of horror and specifically of Junji Ito, so I couldnt pass up the opportunity to try out his style with the lovely ZombieCleo. My hand cramped up pretty badly towards the end, but I think I love how their face turned out - I think I nailed that part of the drawing for sure.
Style references

This is probably the most famous image from Uzumaki

I had to cut out a LOT of references that I literally cannot post here because of the intense body horror and gore involved.

Low res image of the Uzumaki title font I copied. There are a few different covers and I have to admit, I picked this one because it was easiest to do and my hand was cramping like wild at that point.
Joe Hills might be a comedic genius. The "Doc is a giant baby" defense?
Brilliant
Showstopping
Actually a surprisingly strong argument
Alas, Doc getting sentenced to sky jail is the funniest possible conclusion and therefore they stood no chance.
Joe this is so cool!!!!!!
I got you a seat at Docm77's Trial! Enjoy this experimental 360° video!
It took over sixteen hours to render in replaymod, and quite a bit of experimentation to get fully functional otherwise, but I think it should be fun for folks to be in the courtroom with us!
Omg look it's my favorite TV show, Tall Claims Court!
You haven't watched TCC episode 1 yet??
Really???
Well I mean, suit yourself, I guess, if you're okay with missing out on the best show around...couldn't be me, tho.

Cleo: Scott, you just can't mosey in here with a brand-new hat and act like you're not wearing a brand-new hat. Scott: Look, I'm trying something new, okay? Just take it easy. Etho: He's right, guys. Come on, let's not go down this path. It's ugly... Kinda like that hat– Scott: I got this from a nice store! Joel: What store? The one before you exit the Al Capone Museum? BigB, entering the room: What's up, Scott? Did you just finish Bling Ring-ing Bruno Mars' closet? Scott: I'm being brave, okay? You guys are sheep. You may want to take a long, hard look in the mirror. BigB: Better us than you. You look like a park ranger from a cartoon. Scott: Joel, do you think the hat looks bad? Joel: Oh, uh, me? Um, I... I wouldn't say it was bad. Like, I think it's just different, like something you would wear in Indiana... Jones and the Temple of Bad Hats.
BigB: Well Grian, I have to say, I'm really disappointed. Grian: Well, you didn't HAVE to say it. You could've just thought it.
