Moon's work is awesome, and it was easy to translate to drawings!! Happy (late) Secret Santa, Merry Cobmas and all that good stuff!

Comic Commission I’ve made for @greensword101 last year!
It’s an illustration for their fanfiction you can read here: AO3
Or here: Fanfiction.net
I really enjoyed reading it (highly recommended), it was fun making these illustrations for chapter 12 :)
Reminder that I’m open for commissions again!
Expect it to be started in a small delay because I have 3 commissions in the work now ^^
My works on insta: here

Tis a niche of its own
Sorry there is only two female characters, I kinda pulled these off the top of my head and probably missed a ton of other candidates. Reblog with an addition if you have one!
Edit: I forgot to make this poll a week long! Once this poll ends I'll remake it with new additions depending on the results (the characters with the fewest results will be replaced with suggested characters from the notes so be sure to suggest some!) in the meantime tho plz reblog to increase sample size
This follows my own definition of what "Comic Relief" means: A character that is used as a conduit for comedy in a piece of media
Through character studies I have determined that there are 5 types of comic relief: the Character Relief, the Audience Relief, the Tone Shifter, the Butt of the Joke, and the Slapstick. Characters that identify as "Comic Relief" usually fall into one or more of these categories
Further explanation under the cut
The Character Relief refers to a character who actively makes jokes to be funny in-universe through conscious humor. Examples from this poll would be Sans and Rayla, who go out of their way to make their friends laugh
The Audience Relief refers to a character who makes the audience laugh regardless of their impact on the story. Examples from this poll would be Lapis and Gus, who are often involved in comedic bits meant for audience entertainment that aren't acknowledged by the narrative as anything unprecedented
The Tone Shifter refers to a character who makes jokes to relieve tension and shift the tone of a scene, either consciously or unconsciously. Examples from this poll would be Jay and Leo, as they both consciously make jokes about grim situations to help their friends or family feel better. Additionally, Jay would do this unconsciously before his trauma made him start doing it on purpose
The Butt of the Joke refers to a character who is made fun of by other characters in-universe, whether endearingly or not. Examples from this poll would be Dewey and Lance, who are often met with insults whenever they do something wrong or silly. The insults are usually meant to be endearing and comedic, but they can still feed into the character's possible inferiority complex. This also applies whenever a villain hits them with a sick burn*
The Slapstick refers to a character who is made fun of by the narrative and the audience like a punching bag. Examples from this poll would be Sokka and Yusuke, who are sometimes put in troubling and awkward situations as a gag for the audience's entertainment alone. These gags are not fun for the characters yet delightful to watch
Most comic relief characters can be characterized as multiples of these. For example, Jar-Jar from Star Wars is both Slapstick and Audience Relief, and even if you don't find his jokes funny that doesn't change the fact that they were written with your entertainment in mind
If you're curious how a "The Narrative's Favorite (derogatory)" character would fit into this chart, they're likely both a Butt of the Joke and a Slapstick character, making their life absolute hell. To be honest, MK from Monkie Kid is an example of a character who fits all 5 categories, but he isn't blue so he isn't in this poll
*Ok if you've ever seen Phineas and Ferb Mission Marvel let me just say MODOK is a total Butt of the Joke and my favorite line in that special is when a TV announcer calls him a "Giant Chicken Egg with a Face" and I just had to mention that omg

pv surprises even himself!! 💜💚💜💚
closeups!!!
aaaaaaand some behind the scenes!
absolutely love these two. Idk if this is necessarily during “we’re captured” as I don’t think boxman would thirst that hard if fink was there. So maybe a second meeting/alternate meeting? Maybe fink left to go to the bathroom? Idk…
I do a lot of alcohol marker art with ohuhu markers but this is one of the first times in a WHILE where I’ve done a bit more of a traditional approach…pencil sketch, inks, markers, and lots of touch ups…it took several days, where my usual pen sketches + marker colors take up to an hour at the most. I tried rlly hard on this !!
I got new pens for inks (fineliners from prismacolor) and a small batch of new ohuhu markers, which included a lot of colors that have been drying out -_- it’s so nice having markers that are actually filled…
Anyways I hope y’all enjoyed my lil process description. Just moved and I’ve been spending a lot of my time on art, especially traditional. And voxman is fun to draw and their dynamic is fun to write ! :3
