Commission for @superbell64 of their Mystery Skulls Animated OC's Caroline and Chester!
The brief was for a couple of expressions and interactions of Caroline and her special someone, Arthur alongside her nekomata companion, Chester!
Thanks very much for the commission, I had some fun with this one!
This is big spoilers for the commercials in the Awayfrompryingeyes website on the Welcome Home site.
Indeed, the Welcome Home cast seem to have some very odd ideas about food and its purpose. Part of Eddie's breakdown seems to be realising that a single pea on a plate does not make for a full meal and pouring gravy on your (edible) tree decorations is a very... unnatural thing to do.
Wip! Don’t know when I’ll finish, but ya know I had to draw Eddie having the not good time 👁️👁️
I'm very hung up on the symbolism of this dish, particularly with how it pertains to Eddie and his episode of severe emotional distress.
Eddie was all alone in his post office when we found him. Although he refused to state this outright, it was clear he was feeling excluded and forgotten by his neighbors. We have often seen him pushed to the margins of the community, only sought out for his utility to the others.
Barnaby openly delights in scaring and tormenting him, Howdy overworks him without sparing a second thought to his needs, Julie only calls upon him when she someone who's easy to drag into a game, Sally refuses to address him by name and treats his attempts at social connection with disdain, Wally and Poppy only have fleeting interactions with him, and Frank hides his burgeoning fondness behind a facade of cordial indifference.
The pea is alone, too, isolated on the stark white backdrop of the plate.
"Take care not to place them too close together." Even if there are more "peas" at this party, Eddie sits alone in Home's chair, denied the basic creature comforts of intimacy as he watches the others mingle.
The pea is also a pittance to Eddie. It is presented to him right after Sally's single, small attempt to show him goodwill, which she only bothers to do because it's a holiday.
She still does not address him by his name. The gesture, the pea, and the seat are all mere crumbs – too little, too late for a neglected outsider who struggles to make sense of the lonely, awful torment of his life in this Neighborhood, one which he cannot properly articulate for fear of sounding ungrateful.
Home stares him down from his lonely seat. Its presence is monolithic and ominous, a towering figure that only makes him feel more small and alone.
Is it intruding on his mind on purpose, trying to hurt him? Personally, I don't think so, though it still remains to be seen. His words to Frank at the end are telling, though. "I want to go home."
Whether it means to or not, Home torments him with its very being. It's both the elephant and the room. Eddie is an outsider. Eddie can't remember where he's from. Eddie sleeps in a post office after thanklessly running himself ragged every day. Home is the very reason for this holiday, and Eddie is homeless. It's staring him down because it's a symbol of everything he aches for, but cannot have.
Eddie is the single pea on Home's plate. Take care not to place him too close to anyone else.
Ooooooh! This... this is excellent analysis!
I love how it is just a single pea on a plate and yet there is so much symbolism that can be connected to it!
"Eddie was happy..."
Yeah... not so sure about that one.
So... That update huh?
I honestly feel so nervous for Eddie. If anything happens to him I'll be genuinely upset... Man just wanted to relax and eat his one pea and got teleported to the backrooms.

(no reposting to other sites)
don't mind me, just thinking about how in every other graphic novel cover, the d20 is in the air, bouncing away from them, just out of reach, almost mocking them as it determines their fates. but for the suffering game, taako is on his knees, front and center, pinning it to the ground, umbra staff at the ready. has he got a fuckin' idea for you.
My delulu is slowly coming back =w=✨
I’ve just released a whole bunch of Mystery Skulls Animated stickers on Red Bubble now available at www.redbubble.com/people/art-expression As for why there are so many, well it was my initial plan to produce a single page of eight for each main character but halfway through the project I suddenly realised that Red Bubble would very likely shrink the entire page down to a minuscule size so better to release each design individually. Besides, a friend pointed out to me that seeing as I had genuinely eight ideas for each character, I would of gone crazy trying to narrow them down to, say, three and wouldn’t of stopped thinking about the ones that I hadn’t drawn so better to just carry on, draw them all and let my customers make their own decisions on exactly which ones they liked and how many to buy! The concept of Mystery Skulls Animated and its characters are a creation of Ben “Mystery Ben” Mangum. Permission to sell fanart based on the series has been granted here: Mystery Ben’s Blog
Tis the season for a Mystery Skulls Animated reblog!
