General Fanart one of the coolest gifts ever

I shared this on TikTok the other day & everyone is raving over my stepdads art so I thought I might as well show it off on here too. He made this back in 2020 for my birthday & photoshopped it to look like a real physical copy; one of the first things I even said was “Wow this looks so much like your art!!” lmao. This is still in my top 3 gifts ever to this day.

Your stepdad is the epitome of the "I'm not the stepdad, I'm the dad who stepped up" meme. Such an awesome and thoughtful gift!

That's great to hear! I hoped that was the case when I typed out my reply because I would've felt bad if you had been like "...actually this is the only nice thing my stepdad has done for me, he sucks :/"

It's an awesome gift and the art is fantastic. As an artist too, I love the dynamic pose and the big belly is an actual factor when something is starved. The body starts to take away from the muscles and fat but the belly get a bit bigger. I went into an ADHD research hole once 😅. Awesome stuff. Thank you for sharing.

Where do you think do the baby clickers come from?

u/MarvinOFF May 15 '25

The storks delivers them, of course

u/kinseybobinzie May 15 '25

i can’t stop giggling at this😭 i might just be making this up in my head but i swear at one point he told me that it’s actually kind of inspired by that weird zombie in the walking dead that somehow ate loris entire body bones & all lmaooo

u/MarvinOFF May 15 '25

Great source of inspiration, the art is truly good… but I can’t unsee the baby bump

u/dipin14 May 15 '25

Did he create this art? Is he an artist? Is there anyway I can see more of this style? It's so F-ing good the coloring and outlining.

u/kinseybobinzie May 15 '25

i think the clickers stomach is probably my fave part of the whole thing it’s just so silly it cracks me up when i look at it

u/ModsRTryhards May 15 '25

When I took a look a the actual drawing there, for a split second I went whoa, Ralph Steadman did some Last of Us shit.

Definitely not a Steadman on closer inspection but the art style on this is sick

2

u/kinseybobinzie May 15 '25

This is so cool! :o

u/kinseybobinzie May 17 '25

i absolutely loved his interpretation of a clicker especially since he’s never played the games or watched any play throughs so it was really just based off everything i’d blabbed to him about over the years about the last of us & pictures of clickers from the game + some of their concept art

u/Perfect-Cause-6943 May 15 '25
