Until the mountains crumble to the sea
Extra Doodle Below the Cut and Script:
Script:
Page 1:
Fiddleford: O' c'mon stop fussin' you big ol' lug! It ain't that big of a deal...
'Sides, you kept complaining 'bout how your shoulder was actin' up all day!!
Stan: Well yeah! But I always lead...
Fiddleford: There! Isn't this much better?
Stan: Hmm.
Page 2
Fiddleford: Stan.
Stan: Yeah?
Fiddleford: Who sings this song again?
Stan: Uhm...Oh! Uh Cass Elliot! Yeah, Cass Elliot...
Fiddleford: Ah. Well...she sounds lovely...
This is a nice night.
Stan: Yeah.
Page 3
(There is no written dialogue for this page. The only written portions are the lyrics, which eventually fade out.)
Extra Doodle
Fiddleford: Stan, are you crying?!
Stan: Yes! Er- I mean no! I mean maybe? I'm sorry! The song got to me! Curse you Cass Elliot! You and your delightful singing!

3 pg. comic about an AU where both Stan and McGucket work on the portal together in the 80s
(Script for those who need it, or can't read my handwriting);
Page 1:
Caption: In an alternate universe, where Stan and Fiddleford worked together on the portal in the 80s...
Page 2:
Fiddleford (in his head): Huh...what is that racket? Huh? Oh!
Fiddleford: Well, I think I'm in need of a good, long break...
Do tell Stanley, I didn't think you'd be the kind to like David Bowie!
Stan: Well, I don't! But he's catchy...I'll give him that. Also... he was always playin' on the radio. It was nice havin' someone else on the road...
Fiddleford: Well, Lee, now's your chance to move your legs and get loose!
Page 3:
Fiddleford: C'mon Stan!!! Shake what your mama gave ya!
Stan: Alright, alright Fidds! Just this once though!
(after the dancing montage)
Stan: Okay okay! None of that now, c'mon we gotta get back to work.
Fiddleford: Woops! Sorry Stan, but I haven't felt this good in a long, long time. I got the jitters! The good kind, that is! But oh alright!
#fun fact my old drawing tablet actually permanently died on me in the making of this (the og vers. that is. rip)#god did not want me to make a GF David Bowie comic mashup smh#also sry if the writing is clunky (physically and character-wise)#i aint exactly a writer bleh#if anything u can substitute whatever song u want lmao i just wanted to draw fidds and stan happy(ish)#fiddleford mcgucket#stanley pines#gravity falls#fiddlestan#thriftybruce's makings#bruce's recs

I didnt realize i more or less made their hands form a halo. Something to think about.#(my painting prof would kill me cuz i forgot to paint back to front so there's some bits that r slightly off ugh)#fiddleford mcgucket#stanford pines#stanley pines#mystery trio#gravity falls#thriftybruce's makings

(Had a bit of a Ford moment below.)
Miscellaneous Sketches and Further Explanation of Headcanon Below Cut (Heads Up! Slight Blood and Depictions of Semi-Consciousness)
Typed Out Description of my Written Words Verbatim:
Text Box 1 (Above):
"I'd imagine coming out of possession would leave Ford in a LONG state of limpness/grogginess (I wouldn't be surprised if Fidds found him slumped over his workspace, phasing in and out [of consciousness]).
Random Blurb of Text Connected to Text Box 1:
"Like I get the frenzied state, but I'd love to see the state of numbness that comes w/ possession."
Text Box 2 (Bottom):
"In my head, Fidds would probably check on Ford, making sure his heart rate was regular (for lack of better term), and make sure to properly accommodate him after a 'bender' (again, for lack of better term). But take my interpretations with a grain of salt, I have a LOT of lore to catch up with. (Smiley face)."
#rarely draw Ford ever but i wanted to explore my take on bill possession ( i gotta draw him stockier smh)#i like the idea of possession being VERY lerthagic at times while also frenzied#lethargic as in romero style zombies mannerisms#generally the vibe im trying to get is like a mash up of rupert pupkin. jon rubin. the beatnik/pyromaniac from the American Way etc etc#if u've seen the ending of Hi Mom! then basically its that#stanford pines#gravity falls#thriftybruce's makings#bruce's recs

Art Tag #thriftybruce's makings
Misc. Tags #bruce's recs (for music recommendations)
BYF: Aside from the general DNI, I would appreciate if you followed me for my artistic style/approach, rather than solely just for my fanart!
About Me

Dog Day Afternoon (1975), Taxi Driver (1976), After Hours (1985), Mean Streets (1973), Dawn of the Dead (1978), Marty (1955), The Deer Hunter (1978), Hi, Mom! (1970), The Godfather (1972), and more!

Genres: Vintage Italian Soundtracks (or old movie soundtracks in general), Electronic, Moog, Experimental, + others (most of my fav. songs are scattered across different genres)
Art Inspo.
American Illustration generally from the 20s to 70s
Realism
Anything that contrasts naturalism with eccentric details
Vintage Pinups and poster illustrations
Special Interests
John Cazale
Moog and Bruce Haack
70s Fashion
A Bunch of Movie and T.V. Characters
Costumes (Not as in Design but rather dressing up as fictional characters with what you already have)
Blog Content
Generally, I'll post what I like at the time. I don't have any original characters of my own, but I love making illustrations of my favorite things. These can include stuff like studies, mockup posters and products, short comics, rendered illustrations, and doodles. If you have any questions, feel free to message me.
(P.S. In case this blog ends up changing its content, and I feel the need to specify who I don't want to interact with, I'll make sure to make a post about it and update my bio!)
General Inquiries
What art program do you use/what brush do you use, etc.?
I use Ibispaint X on my XP Pen Tablet, and here is the QR code for the brush that I use, with its adjustments. It's basically a dupe I had to make because I actually lost the original QR code for my original brush a while ago. (P.S., I always use my brush at around 30-45% opacity, just to be clear. Also, I usually use this one for sketching and simple rendering.)
If you're looking for the textured brush, it's this one. It's basically the same as the previous one, except I messed around with the brush texture.
What texture do you use for your art?
I use this one:
Are you open for commissions?
Short answer, no. Maybe in the future, but this depends on how future me feels.
How frequent do you upload on your blog?
I'm in college right now (and also based on previous experience), I tend to try to upload at least 3 times a month. To be clear, I consider me posting art an 'upload', so I'm not counting reblogs/ramblings uploads. But they at least let people know I'm still alive.
