I love that Joel's first task of ad bombing the Life merch has permanently made his design in Secret Life just the traffic hoodie

[@singingofsilver]

He did this to himself, and now he better not win or else the fanartists will cry

[@bumblerbree]

and it suits his voice and demeanour so well somehow

[@darkdragoness5]

Did you notice that one of the hearts is broken on his jumper?

It's insane how well that persona fits him though.

[@AJ_the_Dragon]

OK I love scar with a cane, AND the fact he uses it (opening the chest) is such a nice touch

[@lucasmatthiessen1570]

The reason why he has a cane is because he uses a wheelchair.

[@MoonyFBM]

@@lucasmatthiessen1570 This! It's a fun lil way to include some real life aspects to give the characters more personality ^-^

[@alonosh7184]

Scar with a Cane is my favorite fan version of him. And the way that those who do draw him with it have him be such an expert with it! (Opening the barrel, pointing other things out with it, bopping Grian with it, etc) It's an excellent way of showing his showman/salesman side, while also being a nod to the real man in the wheelchair. Also, like, everyone else's designs being so on point. Your designs are my new favorites, by far.

[@mellowaurora]

omg ahhhh i love this!! as someone that uses a mobility aid it literally makes my day to see that lol

[@bunnydemitrigenderflux]

I kinda dislike it. Scar has enough reminding him of the fact that he literally can't walk, his only escape from it is Minecraft, and it feels like they're taking that away from him a bit. However, if Scar says he doesn't mind, then I'm okie with it.

[@NotEvelyn3]

Grian singing “Absolutely not!” to the question “are you singing?” is just the best XD

[@juliusroman8616]

Joel gives such older brother/tired dad energy in this.

[@Cilibi]

Tired dad?? No definitely shitty older brother energy who’s trying to ruin your day lol

the rules of drawing a grian: 1. exgaurate the laugh 2. waffle 3. by relation to other people, he's always short Edit: 3b. by relation to Bdubs, he's always tall

[@CrimsonGrowlithe]

Also wings.

[@silverwinterwolf2064]

Yeah, Grian always has to be drawn short, despite him being one of the taller members in the Life Series and Hermitcraft. XD

[@gaeul_iseul]

also WINGS

I love the way Grian occasionally sneakily smiles :D

He says "People actively clicking off my video" but... This is my comfort video. Like whenever I'm having a bad day this is my comfort video. This animatic. Thank you for making this for bad days.

[@Lone_She-Wolf]

Same

[@venomouskoala0690]

Honestly, I don’t blame Scar for not suspecting Grian. Remember the Mumbo AFK song? This fits with what Grian normally does

[@friendlyneighbourhoodash]

omg i totally forgot about mumbo afk!!!

[@pinkajou656]

Wha- okay, when I watched the episode I was getting so much secondhand embarrassment I nearly skipped ahead- but you’ve somehow, without changing the audio, made Grian’s singing not only totally bearable but enjoyable and entertaining! How do you even do something like that- this is magic!

[@Em-._.-]

I actually ended up watching the original video 3 times because I was doing the dishes and the video kept looping but my hands were wet and I couldn’t click off, so I made up some views lol

[@NickAndriadze]

I didn't really have any issue with Grian singing, I normally find these kinds of things very cringey and awkward, but for some reason the way Grian was overdoing it was really unironically hilarious (Or maybe ironically, I'm not sure).

[@ariannebrodeur]

You are actually insane I cannot comprehend that you made a 5 MINUTE ANIMATIC and LITERALLY EVERY FRAME IS PERFECT I was torn the entire time between letting it play to witness art unfold before my eyes, and pausing every second to analyze how tf you drew it so well and so detailed And the designs??? DUDE THEYRE SO COOL (I also adore the less detailed ones you do of mainly just outlines- theyre so cute) You're absolutely incredible, never stop 🙏🙏🙏

[@itsyapeepkiri]

That's the joy of rewatching!! 😊 Edit: I realize that this may seem condescending and that is not intentional. I merely mean it as, "You have an issue and I'm happy that there is this amazing tool at your disposal to help solve that issue!". So yeah. 😅

I am ABSOLUTELY loving the details in this video! One of the heart in Joel's hoodie being broken, the button written in galactic and has a Watcher symbol. Grian making a pop sound is so adorable thoughXD his height difference is EVERYTHING “This is junk.” His height made it looks like a child, and honestly that's a right interpretation because children tend to be blunt haha. I also loved the sly, cunning smile as Grian finally talked to Joel, knowing Joel had take the bait. (also him shielding his face away from Joel when he first sees him, the little thing like Grian climbing to the counter so he could see the upper barrel, also Joel's contrast in this session from the previous sessionXD) Joel the session before: Stay away from me, nope! Joel this session: Grian why are you ignoring me:(??

[@lolli_popples]

LOVE the Secret Task animation!!! It’s so cool! Amazing interpretation of that part of the game.

Even if we didn't necesserely heard it from Grian's voice or could see it... I'm convinced now, that is the EXACT face he was making while singing that part. Also... Hold your hand up if your hearing might be bad, your not musicaly talented or you share the popular/unpopular opinion that Grian is actually GOOD at singing and you like to hear him sing! 🖐️

I love Grian's constant smug expression in this one, it's just on brand with the entirety of this task. Also I really like how imposing and almost frightening Joel looks, that's kinda how I'd imagine him, especially in this kind of situation where he's entitled to ruin somebody else's day with deduction. *3:44* Very niche little detail, but I really like how one of the hearts on Joel's iconic life merch hoodie is sort of cracked to signify that he is in fact, a yellow. I'm slightly sad you didn't include Grian telling Mumbo and Cleo ''you're all terrible friends and that's exactly what I needed,'' but otherwise this is really good.
