Oh hey I forgot to upload this one here.

I've had this guy for a bit now but haven't posted about him yet! This is Maxwell (he/him) he's a modified F.A.O Schwarz puppy he's had pretty major surgery and is now weighted and stands/sits like a bab would! Now on to his personality ^.^ Maxwell is pretty goofy and clumsy but is very smart he's a history teacher and spends a lot of time reading about the 18th century, he also runs a book club too!

this doesn't apply to people who goofily clown on him btw (bc i do it too. and i think everyone should do it it's fun), but i have ALWAYS gotten really weird vibes around people who unironically, vitriolically hate maxwell, and it's only recently that i've figured out exactly what it is about people like that that miff me out so much:

don't starve- storywise, themewise- relies heavily on maxwell to get those points across. and not just in the sense that he's a main character, but in how interwoven the overall ideology is in almost every action he performs.

don't starve is about pride. it's about hubris. it's about wanting something badly, and about how much you're willing to sacrifice to get your hands on it. don't starve is about self inflicted torture. don't starve is about chain reactions- hurting the people around you through your decisions, no matter how minuscule. it's about the vicious cycle of power hunger, and the fact there's nothing anyone can do to stop it from repeating.

don't starve is about loneliness, even when surrounded by others. it's about emptiness, even when physically sated. it's about a pain that will never go away. it's about losing nearly everything you've known about yourself, and replacing it with spare parts to build an almost unrecognizable facsimile of who you used to be; and it's about not knowing whether or not to loathe it for what it made you lose, or to be thankful that you even have it at all.

there is no major theme of don't starve that maxwell doesn't completely embody. and i guess it's just so puzzling to me that people can like don't starve and hate him as a character when he's so essential to the greater story being told. like... idk what are you here for lol

Realized the 'shoot the gas line' bit of the Alien Minkowski AU is just me revisiting my perennial theme of why are there guns in space. It always comes back to that.

Helloooo! I love how you draw your Maxwells and Wilsons!!! I would like to ask, what's ur general guide to drawing them? (In terms of face features, face shape, hair etc) Have a nice day!!

Hi anon :) Thank you so much! Im glad you like how I've drawn these two! That's a good question actually!

I have a few things in mind while drawing them so I'll do my best to explain them. I'll also include the full sketch pages and timelapse of me breaking down how I draw them.

This is about to get REALLY lengthy

WILSON

I simply his nose to scalene triangle (slightly pointed down). I think he'd most likely have an aquiline nose. I tend to just draw it in one stroke tho so sometimes his nose looks a bit different but the idea is there.

Wilson's face is like an upside down teardrop to me so the lower part of his face is narrower (?).

Hair is sectioned into 3 main parts. Top, Middle, Bottom. I keep them in their "general area" with some part overlapping into the other section's area. If that makes any sense SHDSHD

Widow's peak hairline and temple peak (correct me if I'm wrong- English isn't my first language)

Tired eyes. Lines under the eyes? The shape vary a lot when I draw, so it really depends on how stylized you wanna be or if you wanna go for something more realistic.

MAXWELL

Hooked nose. Simplified into a slanted rectangle shape (?)

Wrinkles! Give him wrinkles near his nose and corner of his lips! Also forehead!

Eyebrows miiight be steep arched?? idk I just do whatever this is vvv

Lips consist of "M" part at the top and a trapezoid shape for the bottom.

He got that receding hairline rizz

Shape of the hair follows head. I like to simplify it into a blocky shape.

SKETCH PAGES

Im not sure how comprehensible this is but I appreciate your curiosity!

My thought process literally boils down to "How fast can I make this?" So I am not the most consistent with how I draw a lot of things.

AGAIN!! This is how I do it and everyone is going to have a different interpretation of the characters and how they are drawn. Just have fun with it :D
