When Nintendo announced that Cuphead was coming to the Switch, he took advantage of the moment to draw the game’s namesake character: “Almost every drawing I do, people ask for versions without clothes, or how hot it would be for ‘X’ to do ‘Y’ to me.” Which isn’t exactly how I see them at all, but people are so varied it’s not totally unexpected,” he says. “A lot of people are really into my work as pornographic works. Even though Sam has evolved a fair amount in the last month, he refuses to let his fans push him into Rule 34 territory. “Just keep drawing for Reddit, Instagram and Twitter and see where it takes me.” I didn’t start drawing for a crowd and I’m certain it will end the same.”Īnd anyway, Sam has a full-time job, and isn’t trying to get anywhere with his art. He enjoys the challenge in “creating something special for that day, that hour or that minute,” even though he’s well aware that hours of his work “manifest in an image that’s enjoyed for two seconds.”īut he’s not worried about this moment being over, he says. ![]() Sam says he’ll continue to draw with or without the attention - just as he did before this moment in the digital sun. I love that people are engaging and enjoying the work right now, but it’ll be harder to find the motivation to keep doing the same kinda stuff if they’re not there.” “The attention is whatever at the end of the day,” he says. Sam has enjoyed the limelight as a way to explore his art, but knows it’s not going to last. “I’ve also been watching Attack on Titan and listening to King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard a lot.” “If I feel there is something unseen or is low on the details, I feel an urge to add more,” he tells MEL. Sam says his inspiration is a love of taking things one step further. #drawing #drawings #drawingoftheday #drawingart #drawingpen #memeita #memesfordays #drawingaday #drawingchallenge #meme #drawingskills #drawingpencil #drawingtime #drawingsketch #memes #memesdaily #memestagram #drawingstyle #memedaily #memelife #drawingbook #drawingpractice #memepage #memeoftheday #drawingsofinstagram #drawingeveryday #drawingdaily #drawingbymeĪ post shared by Shamanther Getz on at 5:28am PDT If you thought clean-shaven Luigi hurt, look at these: Since the beardless Luigi drawing, Sam discovered an even more popular niche: grotesque reimaginings of cherished video game characters. “It’s a full stop,” he explains: Once it’s up, it’s done.Īnd keep moving he has. “I struggle to let go because they never feel truly finished.” Posting to Reddit and Instagram has been a good way to help him keep moving. “I’m very obsessive about my art,” he says. ![]() ![]() Sam explains that actually posting his art has had some a positive influence on his mental state as well. I also happen to have a lot of time on my hands, so it’s a good way to fill the gaps.” If anything, it’s put a bit of fire under my ass to make more drawings. “I appreciate that people are enjoying it, because they’re fun to make. “It’s all been very motivating, making something people enjoy makes me feel good,” he tells MEL. The positive reception helped Sam quickly get over his fear of sharing his work, and he decided to keep going. “I still didn’t think my work was good,” he explains, “so when I saw the feedback, it really warmed my heart.” The picture ended up receiving 294 upvotes on r/dankmemes, and though that’s not a ton by r/dankmemes standards, something about reimagining Luigi scratched an itch in Sam he wanted to explore. Then, earlier this month, he posted a picture of a clean-shaven Luigi in reaction to a meme on Reddit depicting a babyfaced Mario, and everything changed.
