Just so you know, you’re not allowed to kill Sam now that I love them. It always happens in zombie apocalypse movies where the favorite dies and I REFUSE to live in a world without this Sam😭😭😭

[@Lilstarnerd]

dw... same doesn't die... maybe someone else does... but same is safe... for now...

[@mariajonas3268]

I think it would be sooo interesting if kip and Sam somehow knew each other beforehand. Like if Sam was kips older siblings best friend before the apocalypse, and after they died Sam felt responsible and cared for kip on a deeper level. Having that shared grief could also add a lot to their story!!! Ugh Im so excited abt this idea I hope u like it

[@ChantelleArts]

The colour pencil on top really makes the characters pop! it’s amazing how much detail you are able to add for such a small piece 😮

[@FriedTurnips]

The layout of this spread reminds me of the layout you'd see on character bio pages in old video game guidebooks, which feels very nostalgic for me.

[@roseodonovan6979]

They are so cute and spunky...even with zombie guts on them! haha I would love to see their interactions in a graphic novel format, their personalities are such good foils!!

[@sakeenabhatti8225]

I honestly adore your self indulgent content so much🫶🏼🫶🏼love ur ocs and kipp seems like a feral child✨

[@Lilstarnerd]

i'm so glad you like it!!!!!! yes he DEFINITELY is feral

[@jadedwolvesart]

I had free time today, instead of art I cleaned my room and cut up cherries to freeze. then I spaced out and now it's 7:00pm.

[@strawberrysunset5088]

I REALLY appreciated the type writer sound when you wrote their names. ✨

THIS

[@annaarts23]

I loved hearing about how to tweaked Sam and their design - character building is one of my favourite thing so that was really cool. Their face actually looks really interesting to me! Also loved how Kipp looked like a ten year old (mostly because I struggle with drawing kids lol). I have a zombie apocalypse au of characters from a different story of mine because I love their og story, but an au was too much to resist for them.

[@MOTHsan]

This actually makes me wanna revisit my "zombie-phase" I had when I was like ~13-14 years old. I used to love the trope. I really enjoy your (re-)designs!!! They're so rad!! 💗

[@Lilstarnerd]

i hope you do revisit them!!!! so fun!!

[@mirotilo]

oh my god im absolutely obsessed with these. actually iconic. love these designs oh my goooooood

[@rentensp]

WOOOOOOW!!! I love these characters so much and I am so glad you drew them. I’m also really sad it took me so long to watch this video but the past few days have been SO unbelievably busy. Amazing work! Hope to see more of them soon!

[@Blick_Art]

We're impressed with both the narrative and the execution of these characters! We think sometimes about how artistic skills would apply to post-apocalyptic scenarios, like how ceramics and glass would become important to maintaining a small scale electric grid, or how graphic arts would take on new significance as non-verbal communication if literacy broke down. Thanks for this fun and thought provoking video!

[@oneinathousand2156]

I’m not super into post-apocalypse/dystopian stuff, but I LOVE the first two Fallout games (and will hopefully soon move onto New Vegas), I think partially because as time goes on, at least on the West Coast side of the series, it becomes more post-post apocalypse and shows society kinda rebuilding itself, so it’s more optimistic. I like the chill vibes of your characters, your setting could be of a similar tone.

[@Lilstarnerd]

i love that idea!!!

[@mekagooden4915]

Love your characters and can’t wait to see more!

[@fuzzydragons]

good job on the spread😀 2 axes def would be handy in a zombie fight and i oddly enough liked the sequel to zombieland, was entertaining

[@InLiquidColor]

I love the way you rendered these, Al! Thanks for the insight on your character design process, too :)

[@Lilstarnerd]

thank you denise!!!!

[@annadownya]

I was scared this was going to be that the movers lost your stuff or it was stolen and i was so ready to cry with you! The golden in the bottle isn't heavy body like the tubes. Thats the difference. (Frankly i find the fluid easier to work with generally...) if you want a medium grade to play with w&n galleria is amazing. Good luck on finding your perfect home!!

[@TobyLizard]

Sam: “What do you have?!” Kip: “A knife!!!” Sam: “NO!!!!”

[@Lilstarnerd]

you GET IT

[@ira-qg7yh]

Beautiful art! I enjoyed this video sm❤ Like, I loved hearing the story behind their design and watching the process was very delightful

[@KatRae]

ok i love the editors notes and i hope they get super sassy and silly lmao

[@talltarantula3094]

Such a beautiful drawing! Love the way you color!

[@mikakomakesstuff]

I also have a PLETHORA of apocalypse ocs and now i really wanna go draw them and refine their character design

[@Lilstarnerd]

YESSSS

[@rumpeltyltskyn]

Hey I really think if you like the funner side of the zombie apocalypse, you'll probably really like Z Nation.
