Howdy! I'm Gart!

27 | he/him | bi

i like big dudes with beards, being creative, and making people laugh! i spend most of my time writing, drawing, and playing video games with friends! i like indie music, iced coffee, and other hipster-adjacent stuff. cats and birds are my favorite animals, and orange is obviously my favorite color!i'm aesthetically interested in heart and brain imagery, eye aesthetic, glitch aesthetic, VCR effects, game UI, roses, deserts, signs, masks, wonderland-esque aesthetic, and various horror elements.i graduated from college in 2019, where I majored in psychology and minored in LGBT studies. my favorite psych topic centers around personalities and unique differences in people. i haven't done anything with my degree yet. this is so sad.

/characters

← BACK | HOME ⌂

below is a (somewhat outdated!) long, ever-evolving, non-exhaustive list of some of my favorite characters from video games, TV shows, or wherever!this list isn't in any particular order, but the characters towards the top are generally more "relevant" than those toward the bottom. some of these characters are really meaningful to me, some I think are neat and use as inspiration, and some i just have a crush on! ;)

/projects

← BACK

a collection of comics, stories, videos, and other various things i've worked on over the years.

stories told panel-by-panel. these have been my "main" series of projects for the past several years. listed here are the comics i view as ongoing and would like to update.for comics i'm not currently working on, check here.

PAY DAT RENT!!!1

A careless idiot has to pay his rent. It gets a little crazier from there.My most popular comic! Currently 5000+ pages and counting!


Don't Screw This Up

Okay, don’t freak out or anything, but this is the last tree on the planet.A pseudo-survival adventure that doubles as a complicated game!


as sad as it seems

maybe it's time you come to terms with some things.a short, conversation-focused story about having friends.

bungis

bungis chungus humongous. A bunch of misfits attempt to kill actual gods.A silly, shitposty adventure with multiple authors! Chaos ensues.


Moonlight Runway

You've just killed your sister's fiancé. How did things turn out like this?A short story about identity, love, and murder. has some cool aesthetics.


/comics (cont.)

← BACK | HOME ⌂

These are additional comics of mine that are either inactive or discontinued. You're welcome to check them out, just don't expect an update anytime soon!

Everything Corp. DISCONTINUED
this job is everything you could've imagined! emphasis on everything. a comic everybody was able to contribute to!
Facade INACTIVE
this place sure is weird. a mysterious mining accident leads to investigation of the paranormal.
Gart and Arl INACTIVE
two best friends break the world they’re supposed to save. shenanigans ensue. co-authored by my best friend!
Gartquest INACTIVE
you know by all accounts this should be a really bad adventure. an “author quest" with the lone goal of bastardizing psychology.
No More Heroes INACTIVE
in a world where all hope is lost, a bunch of bad guys mess around and stuff. another comic made with my best friend!
Oh Teh Noes! Zombies! DISCONTINUED
a stupid comic about stupid people fighting stupid zombies.
my first real comic!
You Are A Gnome INACTIVE
do some gnome stuff or something! something with a very specific style made for the purpose of being a side project.

/stories

← BACK | HOME ⌂

a handful of short stories i've written, mostly while in college. i'd like this page to be longer in the future, but i find it difficult to write anything these days. that said, enjoy what's here!

Switching Lanes 2700 words

Tammy is Falling 3487 words
a girl falls down the stairs.

messy collections of shorter clips i probably won't get around to editing together into longer videos. these are lightly edited if at all, and are mostly here for ease of access and organization.playlists are sorted both chronologically and by game. if i have fewer than 5 clips from a game, it'll be in the VERY BOTTOM PLAYLIST.for longer, more comprehensive videos, check out my youtube!

Cookie Run Hero Shooter Concepts W.I.P.
i had an idea for a hero shooter (think overwatch, paladins, etc.) featuring the cast of cookie run! the site contains concepts for moves, roles, and stuff like that!
Dead by Daylight Concepts w/ Visuals ONGOING
i've been playing a lot of dead by daylight recently, so naturally i've been thinking about character concepts and game mechanics. here are the ones i've come up with so far!
Dead by Daylight Stranger Things Concept ONGOING
a concept for a second stranger things dead by daylight chapter. includes two new survivors and a new killer! spoilers for stranger things season 4!
Gart Recommends Video Games ONGOING
technically not a project, but something i took time doing and might serve useful. if you're looking for a new game to purchase, consider flipping through my pointlessly complex list of recommendations! SUPER outdated.
i'm in love with the idea of being anybody else ONGOING
a small collection of poetry i've written. there's not a lot here currently, but i'd love to fill it out and potentially look into self-publishing a book of poems.

/commissions

← BACK

information about commissions i'm currently offering. very new to this; if something is wonky give me a break.for my general commission process and rules, check here.

commission status: OPEN

slots

3/3 open

  • open

  • open

  • open


[ $5 ] character icons

simple 200x200 character icons in a somewhat cartoony style.

  • great for character profile icons on sites like toyhouse, but can be used for whatever!

  • humanoid characters look better, but i'll try my best for others!

  • i don't charge extra for complex characters, but their icons may be simplified so as not to muddle it with details.


[ $5 ] character sprites

(i wish i had more examples, but i've only made these for my demon OCs! sorry!)

simple character sprites, nothing crazy!

  • each sprite comes with 2 extra outfits, if so desired!

  • humanoid characters look better, but i'll try my best for others!

  • i don't charge extra for complex characters, but their sprites may be simplified so as not to muddle it with details.


[ $10? ] scribbly doodles

(i wish i had more, less homosexual examples, sorry!)

simple drawings with a low-effort look to them!

  • i'll be real, i don't know what to charge for these. they look deceptively shitty, but they take time to get looking that way.

  • i don't charge extra for complex characters, but their doodles may be simplified so as not to muddle them with details.


if there's something else you'd like to commission from me, send me a message on discord and ask! worst i can do is say no!

/commissions (cont.)

← BACK | HOME ⌂

information and rules about my commission process.
don't worry, it's pretty simple!

process

  • make sure i have an open commission slot and send me a dm on discord (@Grumpisimo)!

  • provide a character reference so i can portray them correctly! even simple doodles or picrews are better than nothing!

  • be sure to let me know of any other special requests or directions you have for your commission!

  • while it shouldn't take long for me to complete your commission, please give me at least one (1) week before you message me for an update. chances are i haven't forgotten it, but i might be busy or experiencing burnout.

  • when i'm done, let me know if you'd like any changes, then send payment through paypal! thanks!

rules

  • credit is appreciated but ultimately not necessary; just don't claim my art as your own.

  • failure to properly follow directions or pay will land you on a blacklist.

  • i retain the right to refuse a commission for any reason!

  • comments, questions, concerns? i'm all ears!
