only now just reading the replies on this. what....what do you MEAN the team said the comics "aren't canon"? fr? on god? you're gonna claim eddsworld has a canon? the show where they die every episode? there's a canon? ok..............

if eddsworld has a canon and we are to believe that the comics are canon this means edd canonically has done cocaine

I just found your art from a few years ago again and I’m so elated that you’re still active!! It’s really cool, I luv. I’ve been in this fandom forever so it’s always a nice surprise seeing that not everyone deactivated or moved. Your stuff is lovely! Keep it up

heya thanks!! im very much against deactivation 1) because i deactivated an old account of mine like 5000 years ago and still regret some of the stuff i lost that ill never recover and 2) i've went thru so many people's stuff i love, whether on here or youtube or deviantart or whatever, delete their accounts and mourning the loss. i dont wanna do that to anyone who likes my stuff even if in some cases i would rather not think about it LOL bc it's important to some people and i honor that. plus in the case of this blog in particular i really have nothing but fond memories so i have no reason to nuke it.

besides i still like eddsworld and still like coming back here every now and again :3

Yoo moped, why do you think that the fandom of eddsworld is obsessed with the characters sexuality’s?

well, it's pretty characteristic of every fandom, especially on tumblr. people like to have fun & ship things & project onto character. as long as there's no bloodshed between people over headcanons i think it's fine

I want to ask your opinion on why Eddsworld beyond has felt so “off”

ok this is actually a very good question and the answer is this: uncanny valley.

Because we have 3 eras of Eddsworld to analyze. Original, Legacy, and now Beyond.

Legacy - animated (primarily) by Paul and written (primarily) by Tomska, it is easy to see the differences between it and the original Eddsworld in almost every aspect. The humor took a stark change from absurdist but dry comedy befitting of a British cartoon and veered into a more slap-stick/over-expressive comedy with the absurdity cranked up to 100, more befitting of American cartoons. This is unsurprising as Tomska himself has stated that he grew up watching American cartoons, thus it is easy to see where his inspirations and influences lie.

But Beyond is far closer to what Eddsworld Original was. Matt, the primary writer of Beyond, evidently has a much, much closer sense of humor to Edd than Tom did (this isn't a good or bad thing, it just explains why Beyond's writing is closer to the original than Legacy was). Couple that with the fact that Lopez, the primary animator, is trying very hard to emulate Edd's art style but has a very noticeable polish to it that Edd didn't (smear frames in place of tweening animation is one that really sticks out, steadier lines and higher frame count) and you have a recipe for a series that looks and plays out sort of like an Eddsworld episode but not quite.

Legacy was visually and structurally different and it didn't hide this fact. Of course this led to a lot of fights over the "quality" of the episodes, but the fact was, nobody I think was really arguing that Legacy looked or felt like original Eddsworld. It was clearly a different spin - Tomska's personal spin - on the Eddsworld formula. And for what it's worth, I think that was probably the smartest decision.

Beyond on the other hand is trying to emulate the original Eddsworld, or so it feels. I'm not gonna outright say Matt is trying his darnedest to copy the feel of Eddsworld original, because his style of writing could just genuinely be as we see it, much in the same way I won't argue that Tomska didn't at least try to make the Legacy episodes feel more "Eddsworld-y". But I think a lot of it comes down to what we see visually, and that being Edd's art style but in a way that's not very...well, Edd. And like, obviously, I don't expect anyone to be able to animate and draw the way Edd did. It's near impossible to copy anybody's style 1-to-1. Would it feel less uncanny if they created a new art style? Dunno.

I personally have mixed opinions on Beyond. So far from what I've seen, the highs have been really high, but the lows...ohh are they low. Unlike Legacy, which I considered to be pretty solid all throughout. No big highs and no low lows. It just stayed on a steady path thru its run.

#ironically casting call i think is the best beyond episode thus far #unironically very good #eddsworld #;asks

Ever considered posting more art here. You are my favorite Eddsworld artist

Aww thank you!!

Whenever I draw Eddsworld, I make sure to post here :> it's just that my brain is hyper focused on other nerd shit right now (and i also have a lot going on in my real life so i havent been able to draw as much as i'd like)

But i'll try to make a silly doodle here sometime for the people who still stick around <3 love yall!
