I adore all the stuff @fungusry is postin abt Bugsnax, and our Grumpuses have the same name with different spelling, so they’re clearly friends gfhdhgf

Margarine takes advantage of Marjie’s heightened sense of smell from being a carnivore to find special fungi, whilst Marjie has a flehmen response 90% of the time to these stinky things.

[double--cross-d]

@fungusry has a neat oc (Margarine) so I drew them with the genderfluid disaster that is Lunetta

And this, kids, is why you never eat strange mushrooms around someone who studies them.

Nah, I'm sure he's fine (get him to a hospital)

INTERVIEW MARGARINE!

Time to ask the mycologist questions.

I’ve actually had an interview written out for Margarine for some time now, so I freshened it up yesterday and added a little doodle!

Interview under the cut!

• Have time for an interview?

“Like, an actually Interview? No way! Yeah, absolutely! Fire away!”

• Who are you?

“ Uh, Margarine Fabledfungus! I’m a mycologist. Or, well, uh, mycologist-to-be. Im still working on getting my doctorate…”

• You’re a mycologist and your last name is “Fabledfungus”?

“You’re not the first to point that out.”

• Why come to Snaktooth island?

“I’m actually here for an internship program under Ms. Megafig! I wanted my senior research project to really stand out among the other grumpuses, so I figured that following her to Snaktooth Island would blow everybody else out of the water!”

• You’re Elizabert’s intern?

“Unofficially! I needed more experience out in the field, so I was helping Ms. Megafig catch Bugsnax, chart maps, that sort of stuff.”

• Thoughts on Bugsnax?

“Aw, jeez, where do I start? I have so many theories I need to test! My leading hypothesis is that Bugsnax are a hyper-advanced colony of sentient fungus. I can’t really say I enjoy eating them, though.”

• Why’s that?

“I dunno, eating a little critter like that just feels… disturbing. Like eating a hamster or something. I keep telling myself that it’s either eating Bugsnax or starving to death, but it doesn’t make it any easier.”

• You said you think Bugsnax are a kind of fungus?

“A hyper advanced kind of fungus. You should see my notes sometime! The ones that aren’t covered in sauce or icing, that is…”

• Why did you leave town?

“Probably for the same reason everybody else did! Ms. Megafig disappeared, Gramble’s barn was ransacked, there were earthquakes and fights breaking out left and right… I tried my best to help keep everybody optimistic, I really tried, but… I guess it wasn’t good enough. I felt pretty useless hanging around, so I eventually set up my camp in Sugarpine Woods to continue my research.”

• Any info on Lizbert?

“Ms. Megafig? Ain’t she the greatest? She was one of the first grumpuses I went to to snag an internship! Looking back, I think she was a bit nervous having somebody so young follow her to an uncharted island in the middle of the ocean, but I couldn’t afford to take no for answer! I would’ve gone looking for her myself awhile ago if it wasn’t for Mr. Troubleham and Mrs. Lottablog, though.”

• Wambus and Triffany stopped you?

“Yeah, the two of them have been looking out for me ever since I introduced myself! They probably figured I could’ve gotten lost out there in the wilderness just like Ms. Megafig had. It means a lot knowing that somebody cares about you, y’know?”

• Thanks, Margarine, that was a lot of help.

“Oh, my pleasure! If you ever need me, just pop by my camp! And good luck, I hope you find Ms. Megafig. I really do…”

A MAJOR CELEBRATION - HAPPY ANNIVERSARY

I’m a bit late on this, but it’s here! This is not only my anniversary piece, but my love letter to both the game and the community as a whole. I wanted to include as many grumpuses as I could, and I got way more than I ever thought I would ever draw lol. There was a point where I just had to stop or else I would be in muppet purgatory forever, but I really tried to get as many as I could.

Bugsnax as a game was something I didn’t expect to hit me on such a personal level. It truly was a game I fell deeply in love with for being inspirational, emotional, and creative. Because of that, it kicked a nasty art burn out phase I got right after graduating college, and made me pick up my tablet again. My art drive has been so strong, I’ve made more pieces this year alone than the last 2-3 years combined, and that’s saying something. I’ve improved so much too, it’s crazy looking back at what I was making at the start of the year to now.

This game had me so invested, that the moment I finished it, I went online and found so many other people who were also super into it. I actually wanted to push my comfort zone and put myself out there. I wanted to meet people, get involved in the community, talk to the artists I ended up looking up to as I discovered them through the tags. It’s such a surreal experience, because it actually happened! So many of these people are incredibly kind and talented, I feel honored to have made friends with so many of them, and have created some amazing friendships with them too.

Because of all this, it really made me put my year into perspective. 2021 was not an easy year for me personally. There are people out there in the community who mean so much to me...it makes me really appreciate them so much, and I have nothing but gratitude. There’s plenty of personal stuff I rather not get into, but if it were not for me taking the steps to put myself out there, meet people, and have people that genuinely support me as I support them, I literally don’t know where I’d be without them. You guys made and continue to make my year a very special one. I literally can’t thank you all enough, you all have my deepest gratitude.

From the bottom of my heart, thank you guys for the incredible year; and thanks Young Horses for the amazing game that kick started this whole thing.

Also, yes, this is desktop wallpaper compatible! 1920x1080!

(Keep an eye out in a reblog for an Artstation post for the complete breakdown of this piece and alternate versions of this piece! Will feature higher resolutation versions of these!)

Alrighty, now to properly credit all the people who’s OCs made an appearance in the piece! For the sake of making sure this post doesn’t take up over half your scroll bar, just click read more. There’s also some fun facts if your interested too.

Credits. I’m gonna start with the people from the back and work our way towards the front. There’s a couple of people on this list who don’t have tumblr, and their next best social media is either Twitter or elsewhere.

And of course 73. McGee - That’s also me.

PHEW, WOW, THAT’S A LOT OF GUYS

Fun Facts:

- The total number of Grumpuses is 87. 73 of them being OCs and the other 14 are the main cast.

- If you noticed, I tried grouping a lot of these guys with certain themes and have it make sense for them to hang out with each other (kind of). I tried my hardest to keep it consistent, but there may be a few stray guys cause it would ruin the sort of even looking set up if I changed where they were.

-Obviously, some of the interactions and pairings are more or less little nods to other people’s connections with each other, whether it’s personal friends or people really liking their ocs together.

- I had to save out 5 different versions of this project because I had the time lapse running the whole time. The files were becoming so big, saving/opening the file became a struggle. Between the 5 files w/the time lapse recordings, the total file sizes ended up being 15.3 GB.

- The clean, final version of the project w/out the time lapse and still retains all the original layers is 172 MB.

- I started this project on November 6th, 2021 & finished it on December 2nd 2021 (That’s about 3 and half weeks, or about 26 consecutive days. No, I did not take a single day off working on this; and don’t worry, I took care of myself and had people check up on me just in case I was found lying on the floor family guy style)

The milestones dates are as followed,    - Sketch from start to finish: Nov 6th - Nov 11th    - Outline/Flats for initial background: Nov 11th - Nov 12th    - Outline/Flats for Characters: - Nov 13th - Nov 23rd     - Background Shading: Nov 24th - Nov 26th    - Character Shading: Nov 26th - Dec 1st    - Clean Up/Additional Background Detail: Dec 1st - Dec 2nd

- A good chunk of these guys have fully drawn out bodies just in case bits and pieces were shown or I had to move them around if the original sketch wasn’t gonna work.

- I haven’t done a large scale project like this since Dungeons and Grumpuses which was all the way back in March of 2021, so that tells ya how much I’ve grown and improved over the last couple of months.

- I have been told several times that I was crazy and was gonna die during this project, and I did several times lmao.

[blasphemousfungus]

Optimistic, intelligent, and more compassionate than she ought to be, Margarine Fabledfungus is a young grumpus mycologist fascinated with the biology of Bugsnax; she’s hellbent on discovering their true nature, believing them to be a hyper-advanced species of sentient fungus. When not tending to her garden of poisonous mushrooms and overgrown mosses, she can be found doodling in her journal or socializing with other grumpuses.

[fungusry]

Okay I first made my grumpusona as a joke but now I actually really love her and renamed her Margarine Fabledfungus

She’s a mycologist that took up studying Snaktooth Island in her spare time and keeps a sketchbook on her to draw Bugsnax in
