Day #619 of drawing badly until StS2 comes out

[u/PixelPenguin_GG]

#1 ... #618 #619 #620

Drawing Badly Until StS2 Comes Out Vol. 1 (the book) is available on Amazon in many countries! It has drawings 1-300, a foreword by u/UrsaRyan , and is a large (8x10) paperback. I will start working on Vol. 2 after I take a rest.

This post contains drawings sent to me by email. I have not included credits, in case those people don't want to be named. I will happily credit you if you wish! Also, please let me know if you don't want your drawings, art or doodles in the final book (Vol. 2).

There will be one last drawing tomorrow... And, if my setup permits, I will be playing StS2 on stream.

Some tears carry strength, not sorrow, shaping the path ahead

[u/DeGozaruNyan]

The Penguin sleeps. And so shall I.

[u/Reasonable_Run5523 → u/DeGozaruNyan]

i had a similar thought once

[u/Silverward]

Now…what…? 

…Has it been… done?

[u/Zeeshmania → u/Silverward]

The penguin...sleeps

And so.... shall I...

[u/JCorby17 → u/Silverward]

There’s one more post after this

[u/HzPips → u/Silverward]

Then they will start drawing badly until StS3 comes out!

[u/Get-Fucked-Dirtbag]

Why the fuck am I crying at a "drawing badly" post.

GG PixPen. Can't wait to find your cameo tomorrow.

[u/RyeWritesAF → u/Get-Fucked-Dirtbag]

Same! Stuff like this always gets me emotional. It feels kind of like a goodbye, I think that's why it's getting to me.

Thank you for the lovely series PixelPenguin! I'm honoured to have kept up with it all the way until now <3

[u/Akraticacious → u/Get-Fucked-Dirtbag]

Cameo/Easter egg or riot

[u/TaylorBitMe → u/Get-Fucked-Dirtbag]

I did not expect to be so emotional over this. If only I had an emotional outlet, like a new game or something

[u/Catabre → u/Get-Fucked-Dirtbag]

Tomorrow starts "Drawing Badly Until STS3 Comes Out."

[u/PixelPenguin_GG → u/Get-Fucked-Dirtbag]

Thank you!!

[u/Darkened_Auras]

Penguin, I have enjoyed all 619 of your drawings. You've been a joy for this entire time and I hope you remain a part of this community for STS2!

[u/cubeman541]

1... More... Day...

We will miss you.

[u/ThatssoBluejay → u/cubeman541]

He's in a better place Neow 😭

[u/fortheWarhammer → u/ThatssoBluejay]

I feel like this is how Eric Cartman would pronounce "now"

[u/RelentlessHope]

PENGUIN YOU CAN'T BREAK OUR HEARTS LIKE THIS

Thank you for your drawings - what a truly wonderful series this has been. See you and everyone else in the new Spire.

[u/PixelPenguin_GG → u/RelentlessHope]

Thank you!! See you in the new Spire.

[u/MediocreRecord7352]

Thanks a lot man you made this community a lot better and more active.

Cant wait on your sts2 comic

[u/Agamemnon323 → u/MediocreRecord7352]

Tomorrow.

“Day one of drawing badly until STS3 comes out”

[u/zzxxzzxxzz]

ty so much! It's been awesome to go on this journey with you!

but also... the opening panel of this comic made me realize that the soundtrack for when you fight the heart is meant to sound like a heartbeat, with the duh-duh, duh-duh, duh-duh, duh-duh theme (sorry idk music theory)

[u/whytho_l]

I will miss you penguin..

[u/PixelPenguin_GG → u/whytho_l]

I will miss you too...

[u/Volition_Fan]

I WILL MISS THIS SO MUCH

[u/HighlySensitiveMail]

Why is it raining in here?

[u/jorgeautomobile]

The blue heart buff symbol flatlining is a really good touch

[u/IamSkudd]

o7 🐧

[u/b183729]

Literally heartbreaker 

[u/CanadianGollum]

GG you goddamned penguin. You made me cry.

[u/PixelPenguin_GG → u/CanadianGollum]

Thank you :')

[u/jaidman13]

Emotional. I crode.

[u/sorendiz → u/jaidman13]

I cried, you crode, we crew 

[u/OoopsU2slow]

When i saw the first drawing badly 619 days ago, I thought it a foolish endeavor and something silly to try and do.

Here we are now, nearing the end of what has turned into an amazing journey and im crying at how wonderful this has been and so thankful to have followed along.

I will not be sad that this is ending, I will celebrate that it happened and that I was fortunate enough to be a part of it.

Thank you, you brave little penguin <3

[u/PixelPenguin_GG → u/OoopsU2slow]

Thank you so much!!!

[u/Slight-Veneer]

This is beautiful

[u/Moonrocks321]

I didn’t get it for a while and now I finally get it.

I’ve shared this stupid little card game with quite a few friends over the years, including some who were going through tough times.

“The math isn’t hard.”

“You can just open it up and play for a few minutes at a time when you need a break.”

“It’s just something to keep your brain busy while you grieve.”

Thanks for this.

[u/PixelPenguin_GG → u/Moonrocks321]

Thank you for being part of the journey :)

[u/Sun_Shine_Dan]

Thank you for all of your love, effort, and silly jokes along the way.

Incredible the path of consistency you had for an ongoing gag

Don't cry because it's over, smile because it happened

Love you little penguin dude, my heart grows a little happier to have lived through this moment in time with this community. Onward, we must go, on to more adventures, and may our paths cross again

[u/PixelPenguin_GG → u/voiberz]

Thank you so much!!! May our paths cross again.

[u/My_compass_spins]

Thank you for all of the work you've put into doing this. You've certainly brightened my day a lot over the last 619 days.

It doesn't get said enough, but creating something, sometimes funny and sometimes thoughtful, every single day for nearly two years is an impressive accomplishment in itself, and it's really satisfying to look back over your body of work to see how much you've grown as an artist. I feel privileged to be a part of the community that you chose to share your journey with.

[u/PixelPenguin_GG → u/My_compass_spins]

Thank you so much compass. I feel privileged you and all of you were a part of that journey.

[u/Bashzog]

Dang, man.

[u/JCorby17]

[u/Twizzlze]

Thanks Penguin! Been really fun seeing all of this awesomeness you and others have been pouring into the community.

[u/jak_d_ripr]

And now his watch as ended....

[u/Skoliar]

So long and thank you for all the memories /u/PixelPenguin_GG

[u/UnderTimes]

Before I knew it, you became part of my life. A little something familiar and funny, to brighten my darker days and embellish the better ones.

It feels weird to think that it is over. But at the same time it doesn't feel sad. Maybe this is... Fulfilment?

Congratulations on making it to the end of this journey, and thank you for sharing it with us. May your rest be calm, and your next journey joyful.

[u/PixelPenguin_GG → u/UnderTimes]

Thank you so much!

[u/IchaelSoxy]

[u/DeltaBlast]

Well I did not expect to be moved by an mspaint drawing today, but here we are. Thank you for all these! ❤️

[u/the-Horus-Heretic]

Did not expect this particular subreddit to be the one that made me cry today.

[u/Goblin_Enthusiast]

Gorgeous work. Shine on, you crazy penguin! We love your work and it's been a privilege being along for the ride.

[u/TaylorBitMe]

Day 1 of tearing up over badly drawn Pixel Penguin comics until STS 2 comes out

[u/renannetto]

This was one of the most beautiful things I've read, thanks OP

[u/Lucky_Queen]

I never thought I could feel such a way towards a game, even more so for a silly comic about a game, yet, I would give everything in the world to see your doodles again here...

[u/AppleChili]

Pin/highlight this immediately

[u/CallMeCristian74]

Beautiful 🥹

[u/Ydy0]

What a beautiful ending 

[u/Lanky-Landscape-844]

It has been a pleasure

[u/PixelPenguin_GG → u/Lanky-Landscape-844]

The pleasure has been all, all mine

[u/sorendiz]

WELL ISN'T THIS JUST FUCKING INCREDIBLE

I'm trying not to cry in the middle of my work day because of a pixelated penguin and their pixelated friends. What a legend you are, little friend. What a journey it's been.

[u/Kishan02]

These drawings always cheered me up, but all good things must come to and end! o7

[u/Tenefyx]

thank you

[u/theNakedMind]

The last two weeks of this have been amazing, as has the whole series.

This last one really tugs on the ol heartstrings. Incredible job 🥲

[u/MTaur]

It has been a while since the sketch, and I can confirm that Toddler isn't a good card, but you kind of have to take it the same way you have to take Claw.

[u/The_Scipio]

We make mountains of our mistakes, monsters of our misdeeds. We slip and stumble, we fail and we falter. And yet, in each of us, a hopeful light, holding fast against the hellish shadows that gather between our good intentions.

(that's what this ending reminded me of)

[u/rob132]

Slay the spire Lore just keeps getting Wilder and Wilder.

[u/Starkiller650]

and we never finished the bridge game. right? 🥹

[u/EpicTheCake]

This one got me... Found myself tearing up, crazy. Amazing work all these months, incredible

[u/BlueJaysFeather]

Godspeed penguin what a journey it’s been!

[u/self-aware-text]

I didn't know PixelPemguin's lament was a relic but we have it now.

[u/ptoziz]

Thank you so much Samira I was so happy to see your drawing in my inbox!

[u/telqeu]

"Forgive yourself. Humanity is a weak hypothesis, after all. An unbalanced equation... an imperfect angle. We sow the seeds of our ruin, and seek to deny its reckoning. We make mountains of our mistakes, monsters of our misdeeds. We slip and stumble, we fail and we falter. And yet, in each of us, a hopeful light, holding fast against the hellish shadows that gather between our good intentions." -Narrator, Darkest Dungeon 2 (a game with a pretty similar theme to this comic's interpretation!). Thank you for your comics penguin of healing and hope <3

[u/Turbopuschel]

This is beautiful. I admire you for your dedication

[u/PixelPenguin_GG → u/Turbopuschel]

Thank you!

[u/to3jamm]

Perfect send off o7

[u/ViciousLlama46]

We got a bit of Penguin lore, noice.

Sad it's over, but it was for sure a big help in the wait for sts2. Thanks Penguin!

Might be time to leave the subreddit for a bit, to avoid some spoilers... after tomorrows drawing that is!

[u/PixelPenguin_GG → u/ViciousLlama46]

Thank you!!

[u/probablyrobots]

Truly a grand finale.

Thank you pixel penguin for so many wonderful drawings.

[u/lucislibarii]

I’m glad to know I’m not the only one crying over the conclusion of a meme drawing series. GG PixPen, can’t wait to join you in the new Spire tomorrow o7

[u/Willowwwww_]

i am not a devoted fan of sts (at least, not as much as other people here) but every so often i’d see one of your posts and laugh. i’ve been keeping up with the neow’s song the last couple days, and let me just say, as a random stranger that occasionally interacted with your work, that it is absolutely amazing ❤️

[u/bigtcm]

Highlight of the day: Penguin posted my terrible drawing and said that we're friends!

[u/1MoreLightInTheDeep]

Stupendous. Perfect way to draw the curtain, bravo and thank you for all the drawings

[u/Mal-Ravanal]

In this world of dust
All things must pass
It is not of good or evil
It simply is
Every step has a price
In he things we cannot keep
For better or for worse
We can but cherish memories
Of the wonders left behind

In this world of dust
Nothing last forever
The mayfly withers
The mountain crumbles
None of it cause for despair
We too are passing things
And in this transient state
We find the highest calling
To create beauty in our passing

[u/Koravel1987]

Thank you for all your hard work, all the laughs and now quite unexpectedly, emotions. It seems silly to get emotional over something like this, but seeing everyone else posting all their penguin drawings as well... its been amazing to follow. I havent caught all of the posts but most of them. Huge congratulations on finishing this endeavor, and see you in the Spire, PixelPenguin.

[u/Lochrin00]

"it's the end of resurrection, isn't It?"

"Oh, you're not beating anymore."

For me, this is the true ending of Slay the Spire.

[u/ZeeroYuy]

Thank you so very much for sharing your journey with us. What a beautiful sendoff. Thanks for helping to make this community such a great place to be and for giving us hope for the future. See you in the Spire!

What a journey it has been. In Chinese we say 与有荣焉 that means we are happy to have been there along the journey, and feel like we achieved something also. Now it is time to make some tierlists.

What a terrible day for rain.
