a VERY serious court case | hermitcraft 10 animatic |

So you might notice this animatic looks a lil different from my last one! I changed up the brush so now it looks much better imo. Hope you like it as well:)
This was so fun to work on, but wow did it take a long time haha

The insane enthusiasm behind "WE'RE GOIN HEADS OR TAILS!" is so funny and you captured it perfectly. Timestamp 0:58

[@BigBirdCool]

Yess !! I had so much fun drawing bdubs’ crazed expression!! Glad you like it☺️

[@DaDragon555]

@@BigBirdCool I wish there were more frames of that moment, just to enjoy the expressions all the more

[@LittleOtter-tu7hx]

IT WAS ON POINT

[@familytablet6453]

HOLY- 812???? What the hecc???

[@zorod5475]

Joe was the worst lawyer. But muppet joe is hilarious.

[@l0v3rr._b0yy]

no doc was so guilty & joe had like nothing to go off of

[@ThisIsWizardsHandle]

his argument that doc was too mentally unstable to be held acccountable was actually really smart bc doc was OBVIOUSLY guilty, he just didnt quite execute it well enough. but nonetheless he did a fairly good job imo

[@WackoMcGoose]

He was quite generous to the audience though, giving us a literal front-row seat to watch everything go down...

[@graciewilliams90]

Joe had an unwinnable case and actually put up a pretty good fight in Bdubs' "entertainment first" court

[@TackerTacker]

In terms of entertainment he was the best lawyer, and it is Hermitcraft ...so he is the best lawyer.

[@bluerock9358]

The visual contrast of Doc, The Goat, sitting next to Joe, a muppet puppet, is amusing. XD Great work!

[@lewando7687]

1:38 joe becomes elmo on fire meme 😂😂

[@dmittleman9757]

I need of GIF of Doc strangling Muppet Joe and Joe’s spaghetti arms flailing in the air.

[@j_j_j_j_j154]

With the voice over of doc saying: "do you know that the veins in my neck are about to explode!"

[@WackoMcGoose]

...My very first thought was to do a draw-over of the comic panel where Hussie is strangling the shit out of Doc Scratch, a literal puppet.

[@BigBirdCool]

Haha now I wanna make this, that’s so funny

[@dmittleman9757]

@@WackoMcGooseI was thinking more of a Homer strangling Bart Simpson kind of framing, but Homestuck is acceptable as well.

[@WackoMcGoose]

@@dmittleman9757 Also true. "Is this... Golden Age Simpsons, BECAUSE I'M ABOUT TO CHOKE A CHILD!"

[@strcmdrbookwyrm]

OK, now that I've seen Muppet Joe, it is my headcannon that Joe is actually under the table (or just out of frame) controlling it. XD

[@BigBirdCool]

Haha omg I love that!!

[@drewbacca1981]

That's his new TCG card, Joe puppeting Muppet Joe under the table

"I'm the guy who wants all the wood" *courtroom dissolves into snickering*

[@IdoesDoodles]

Puppet Joe is so freaking adorable!!!

[@TackerTacker]

A 5th of insanity 😁 Joe is amazing, I think we are all missing 90% of his subtle jokes. A 5th of insanity is referring back to the very beginning where Doc is pleading the 5th.

[@TravellingTortuga]

YOOOOO! 😂

[@kacperwoch4368]

1:19 The face of a man who truly regrets (he really doesn't, if given a chance he would do it again)

[@briarpelt2333]

The one frame where Muppet Joe becomes the flaming Elmo gif XD

[@Grizzdrop]

love the look of this :) BDubs and his big eyes. Joe as a puppet... lovely!

[@garbageman366]

Can I just say I absolutely love all the designs for the hermits and how different they are from each other. PS I have never seen Joe portrayed as a muppet before, but now I will take no other substitutions.

[@theodysseyowl]

First of all, you captured Bdubs' essecence PERFECTLY. Design, facial expressions, heads or tails, all of it. Second of all, I'm in love with the design of Joe as a hand puppet next to a very big Doc. Third of all, JoeHills + the Elmo meme is brilliant thank you for your service

[@eMe_peridot_hare]

EVERYONE LOOKS AND MOVES SO GOOD AAAA... also you're so FAST waht the hell this is actually amazing. Obsessed w Joe's burning Elmo moment at the end, Beef's melodramatic teary-eyed testimonial, Doc and Bdubs both looking Very Hinged And Normal And Sane Mhm Mhm Yes, and the lovely closeup on Cleo's laugh. FANTASTIC STUFF WOOOO

[@BigBirdCool]

Omg yes! Someone noticed the burning Elmo reference XD I’m so glad that came across. And yeah I had such a blast with the over-exaggerated expressions, as u can probably tell haha😂 thx a lot for the kind words!

[@enachavez8815]

I love you how draw Judge Bdubs, just perfect

[@megaawesomesupreme]

JoeHills Elmo fire is not something I thought I needed in my life but absolutely was something I needed in my life.

[@kwowka]

Bdubs having massive eyes in comparison to everyone else is making me giggle he looks like a beanie boo next to a beanie baby

[@fiddleriddlediddlediddle]

Joe may have been the worst lawyer, but did anyone want to see Doc walk free anyway?

[@overripeschnitzel]

i love how big and shiny bdubs eyes are and how people draw him so cutely 😭😭

[@EuphoricPlaz]

Budubs: Looneytoons type crazy + CourtHouse Judge = great content.

[@Ultimate_nerd]

why is Skizz actually a great defence lawyer 😭🙏🙏

[@kelleroid]

That very very sad Cleo at 0:13 is perfect. Authentic inflictment of emotional distress fully on display here!

[@punkinlady1039]

Cleo is so adorable with the tooth gap, and Muppet Joe Attorney at Law is 10/10. Reminds me of Lionel Hutz

[@KRO-222]

Perfect, everything from Muppet Joe to Bdubs’ big shiny anime eyes is just spot on.

[@ewoklord-726]

Muppet Joe is my new favorite. Favorite what? Dunno, just my favorite!

[@EonWhite]

That first trial was super funny. I’m so looking forward to more.

[@rouleigh]

How did you manage to make this even funnier. HOW!?!?

[@catherinecarroll6747]

muppet joe and bdubs big beautiful eyes are amazing

[@bluecrossfire2375]

"Hey.. I'm the guy who wants all the wood" He says says calmly 😂

[@lemonbread378]

SO GLAD TO SEE ANIMATICS OF THIS!! i love all the designs, especially Doc, and Bdubs excited about his heads or tails laksjdfd cannot wait for more court cases which is a sentence i thought i'd never say

[@marieleelee]

Everything about this is perfection. I think though my favorite little thing is how you drew the pig. So sad so cute so scared of Doc 😂

[@nebulaink]

oh, goodness, i love the animation you did with doc entering through the door. how he has to lean down to get through because he's taller and how when he straightens up he seems so much more intimidating. such a good characterization of how beef is seeing doc. i love it! and that's just one small detail i noticed in this animatic when everything is so good!

[@lelouchzxc_]

awesome work! the expressions are on point, Cleo's laugh was beautifully sketched!

[@ellironi9163]

Muppet Joe is the greatest thing I've ever seen!!

[@KatDoodleBug]

This animation was amazing!!! I really hope you do more, your style is seamless to watch. I love your muppet joe design and I think your version of Cleo is one of my favourites. Awesome stuff!!!

[@LucasBenderChannel]

It's a beauty 🤌 Honestly, I didn't understand Joe's puppet character at the start of the season. But seeing what fans do with it, I 100% know it is worth it! :D

[@BigBirdCool]

Haha, its honestly just such a Joe thing to do, also there is so much potential for funny drawings with his puppet LOL

[@juliusroman8616]

@@BigBirdCool is there a reason he's a puppet?

[@eMe_peridot_hare]

@@juliusroman8616 Joe's logic (as presented to the hermits during a meeting & later retold to us during a craft stream with Cleo) is something like: - Gem's (and Pearl and lots of other modern mcyts) Minecraft skin has no mouth. - This isn't that uncommon, even on Hermitcraft (see: Hypno, Cleo, Wels, Cub for a bit)... But what was new to Joe is how low down the eyes are placed, leaving no space for a mouth on the actual face area. - Therefore the only logical (Joe Logic™) place for a mouth would be under the head, like a big puppet maw. Do you have a big puppet maw, Gem? - No??? says Gem - Oh, that's a shame. But wouldn't it be funny if you added one to your skin? - No and also what the heck?? said Gem and everyone else - Ok, well if you won't do it then I'LL become a puppet next season, as proof of my amazing silly concept! Said Joe, already opening their pixel art programme and creating horrors beyond blocky comprehension. Joehills beloved 💚

[@cringeferatu]

My roomate and I have been using the 1:19 pose to express regret nonstop since this came out and we may never stop I fear

[@BigBirdCool]

Omg that’s amazing!!!😂😂😂 the ULTIMATE way of showing regret… so much drama… so much seriousness…

[@MECKENICALROBOT]

You gotta make the worst lawyer a muppet… so it can be the best lawyer.

[@equestrianrosie]

the Elmo flames were a perfect addition xD

[@GSBarlev]

Your character designs are so incredible! Every time I think the Juppet is my favorite, suddenly I see BDubs' eyes filled with tears. Or the goat's crazy hair! Or Cleo's patchwork skin! Or _that poor pig!_ Really excellent work.
