If you follow my Tumblr at all, you probably knew I was participating in the Web-Artist Charity Drive last weekend to raise money for Hurricane Sandy victims on the East Coast. The event was a great success and we all had a lot of fun working on it, so big thanks to everyone who showed up, donated, and got some art! (and everyone who showed up to draw and organized the event!)
I kind of procrastinated all Sunday, but while I get this week’s comic ready you can have this art from the charity drive as a place-holder.
Again, can’t thank everyone who participated enough!
I like them all :) No idea who the 2nd and 3rd drawings show, but hello there Equius!
Bug Stallion!
Is Scolipede (I’m still having trouble naming the gen Vs on sight, I thought this one was Venipede) that good?
It is a right smug bastard, though.
I like it, It’s weak against psychic because it’s bug/poison, but it hits hard and fast enough I can usually one-hit-KO them.
Surprisingly good at killing that which kills it. Surprisingly BAD against everything else by virtue of having the vitality and defenses of tissue paper.
Still, it’s a great at making threats and then laying down spikes when they switch out. Dual duty scaring off Espeon/Xatu and laying down passive damage in the form of Toxic -or- vanilla Spikes, whichever works best. Then when they call your bluff the second time, you nail ’em to the floor with Megahorn.
And frankly, I just dig the damn thing’s swagger.
Still there are alot better options out there than Scolipede. No good abillities, under par stats, small (dough, still not weak) moveset, and a common threat list.
I have yet to see anyone use the Scolipede a good way. What scenario you are saying is possible, but more a wild guess usage, than a reliable tactic.
Yeah I’m a zombie baby, ain’t nobody perfect.
I still can’t get over how hot the Commander is. Pic 2 has some nice shoulders out there.
Alright, admit it, you’re just here for Equius. dat STRONGNESS.
My only regret is that I was not drinking 100sus milk when I first saw this update, so that I could STRONG-SNORT it out of my nose. Of all my interests that I didn’t ever e%pect to coincide…
Equius is going to win, he hasn’t even started sweating ;)
I’m very pleased to see him. Especially since it’s a burly, grown-up Equius. And lord knows he’s peculiar enough to belong to the Commander’s group!
Now the question is, do you actually like Homestuck, or are you just brilliant at knowing your target audience?
It was a request, people donated to charity, made requests, and we drew them once we got the receipts to prove the donation went through.
Nicely (and wisely) dodged question. Speaking as one of the older fans of Homestuck (as in both age and time I’ve been reading it) you don’t want either its full fandom or its hatedom skulking around MGDMT.
I didn’t mean it as a trolling question, but I wholeheartedly agree with this sentiment!
The shipping that might ensue :-o
/similarly an older HS fan
The ships, Meenah! THE SHIPS! /meulin
That phrase got stuck in your head too? Ah well, nice to see a drawing of Equius.
Bug stallion -> I see what you did there >.> Hilarious xD
for those who don’t get it, remember the beginning of borderlands 2 when Handsome Jack gets a diamond horse (or is it a unicorn)? He called it “Butt Stallion”. Get it now? :P
I have no idea what the second picture is supposed to be.
Can someone explain what it’s from?

I’m sorry you hate charity.
He’s just unhappy because he doesn’t understand Homestuck.
If by understand you mean care for, then probably.
The sooner people understand that there’s nothing wrong with sharing interests, and that bugging people about sharing our interests doesn’t make them want to any more, the sooner they’ll stop feeling the need to evacuate the moment said interests become tangentially involved.
Huh, if only people could apply that sort of logic to MLP (Not a hardcore Brony myself, but I think the shows alright)
It’s the (hipsterish) stance taken by many Homestuck fans that “if you don’t like it, it’s because you don’t ‘get’ it” that most often leads to people running, screaming, in the other direction the minute it becomes associated with something they like.
Me, this is fanart for charity, I ain’t got to like it but I ain’t bugging.
Bracing yourself against the table with your other hand should be grounds for immediate disqualification.
Isn’t it supposed to be butt-stallion? o.o
It’s a joke. He’s RIDING on Scolipede. Like it’s a HORSE.
Also, I don’t get the second picture, but it looks more awesome than riding bears while playing badminton with sticks of dynamite.
Bull-and-dolphin water polo isn’t quite as dangerous, though.
I’m not sure how they manage to play polo like that…
Playing polo riding bulls riding dolphins. Now I know I’ve seen it all.
ERMAHGERD dat art.
You push all of my right buttons, Coela.
Aw, you forgot Equius’ man stockings.
This makes me sad.
Pretty sure the Commander will eject from the premises any individual wearing “man stockings.”
I’d watch the shit out of water polo if the riders used mallets and were atop bulls atop two dolphins.
Hey, I think i found one of your old baby-pictures: http://mattrhodes.deviantart.com/art/Father-Daughter-hike-321125664
>:D
That Homestuck troll looks like Johnny Gat. :o Awesome.
Hey dude, you are aboteuslly right! I hang out in RP and I have a house there but I stay in Calgary all the time. What about you? Are you a FLIP?
I just want to point out that Equius is like… Thirteen… Commander better be careful cause he ain’t even had his growth spurt yet…
I had no idea you were a Homestuck.
I’ve never read the comic in my life, but the rule of the game was “donate money to charity and I will draw you a thing”
That is still pretty damn awesome.
I am 100% amazed you are able to render this… bull-on-dolphin polo match (how do you even describe this?) recognizably. Skilllllz.
Ugh. I just caught up and now, in my first comment on the comic, I’m going to reveal myself to be a damnable Homestuck. Curses. Not only am I a ridiculous Homestuck fanboy but also an Equius fanboy do I have this to say: I like the arm wrestling match going on here but it may be a bit mismatched because he MAY (may) be one of the strongest characters in fiction. I have this whole theory thing. I’m a huge nerd. Anyway, the charity event was something I really admired and I think this participation is just fantastic. Also, this webcomic quickly became one of my favorites but I bet that happens a lot.
