A sketchbook. (back to art index)
sesame seed

A collection of Basils and his associated flowers. A large Basil to the left is shaded blue, surrounded by a scribbly Something; the rest of the canvas features brighter drawings: a sunflower, daisy, Basil being nervous, “basil lol” (the plant); battle sprite redraws (ecstatic/manic, furious, and afraid), with a silhouetted Stranger near the latter; and finally, in the lower right corner, Basil gives a big ol’ thumbs-up with the caption “We did it!”

From the deviantArt description (but this birthday post link works):

This dude’s not even my favorite but I felt like doing a doodle page of one of the kids and it’s his special day today, so ¯\_( ᐛ )_/¯ Happy(?) birthday to the fucked-up little plant dude!

Lots of mixed thoughts on this guy (he was one of my least favorites (more indifference than active dislike) when I was nearing the endgame, haven’t put together thoughts on the six since) but I’ve been starting to like him more, between his main plot role being knocked out of the fucking park and assorted meta-binging. Special shout-out to this (spoilery, ofc) post for clarifying a fun little detail ;V

Anyway, style copytheft is fun and all, but i Have to have a margin between the eyes and the sides of the face or i’ll die. In all seriousness if he looks like an OC of mine the answer is Yes, and shout-out to this post also for describing the vibe I was going for o7 (← that’s a salute)

Time taken: 4 hours
photos used very faintly in the background: daisy & sunflowers
edit: Whoops forgot a bit in the upper right corner (no wonder the composition looked off…), not sure if I’ll go back and add it but for the record: “Everything is going to be okay…” but violently scribbled out and underneath is scrawled “this shit sucks.” send tweet

I do not feel like editing that in because I drew entirely in its absence, but for the record, that’s the vibe.
