I’m still internet famous for the time being. This is far too amusing to be real, but IT IS.

Let me back up a bit: If you recall, the other day I did a fan art piece for NSFW (a comedy video podcast on TWiT) and tweeted it to the hosts… and I figured that it would bring some funny and get some retweets and that would be it.

I, uh, apparently made enough of an impact to get said piece plugged during the aftershow (sadly, it is not included in the actual podcast and I wish I knew how to capture a live Ustream feed) AND retweeted by everyone in the pic. (Though… due to Twitter’s 140-character limit, my Twitter handle got dropped! Bah!)

I PROBABLY should have linked the actual DB entry rather than the fullview so I could get an accurate viewcount, but based on server logs and bandwidth usage, it got about 2700+ views.

It doesn’t end there, either. It’s been uploaded to the BBpedia and as of this posting, made the featured photo on the front page (despite clearly NOT being a photo). And yesterday morning, it got mentioned during TWiT’s coverage of the first Google I/O keynote. I didn’t actually get to watch the video version of that in full until just a couple hours ago and it turns out about 3/4 of the way through the event, Leo Laporte decided to display my horseapples doodle live.

Here’s the youtube of the Google I/O video, my drawing shows up around 1:33:50 (I’ll crop out that part and repost it to my YouTube account in a bit so you won’t have to wait for that monster to buffer all the way)

Yeah. I got praised by freaking Leo Laporte, the king of the internet! Maybe not by name but, hell, that was partially my fault for not embedding my Twitter handle or something in the corner. I’m under no delusions that this actually means anything in the long run or that I could pull off anything like this again. However, please indulge me in letting me enjoy my few minutes of internet fame. :P

The reason I haven’t posted this to my deviantArt is because the mods there don’t take too kindly to any depictions of Pedobear (even though I’ve warped his portrayal a lot by having him chase a 21 year old dude who’s been branded the analog of Justin Bieber, as opposed to little girls). It’s not written anywhere but I would rather err on the side of not getting smacked by the dA banhammer. ^_^;

Update @ 11:00pm

I am INTERNET FAMOUS… for, like, 5 minutes. Maybe 10. And the story that goes with this pic might be a little more important than the pic itself…

It’s a followup to the last piece, and while I was finishing up on it, I lurked in TWiT‘s #unfiltered chat room while yesterday’s NSFW was recording. And, uh…. both this and the previous pic got flashed on the livestream– the first pic during the pre-show, and BOTH during the aftershow. XD And it’s STILL getting some minor retweeting action.

(…maybe I should have direct-linked the page it was on rather than a direct link to the fullview so I could get a more accurate view count. Oh well.)

Also? For being very simply-designed, Pedobear is a freaking pain to draw.

In other news, STEAM BANDWAGON. I HAVE JUMPED ON IT. (Steam ID: Ayarane)
Looted Portal since, you know, it’s kind of free right now (until the 24th). Strange, strange little game. Though I can’t say I would mind having a gun that lets me make portals. :P (Oh yes, there’s an RT gag in here somewhere… blue and orange Warp Portals, bwahaha)
It makes Blastoise work a little, though… a consequence of his being dual monitors (which halves his graphical oomph) but once he gets going everything is right as rain.

I salute my fangirl shorts, internet! Not only is this gift art for the man for his birthday, but this was also an excuse to let my fandom fly considering that they are all either my favorite lead characters or damned near close to it. (In the case of Alex and Cecil, they were even among my favorites before being made moreso by the LOL-enthal. :P) Why else would I call this Party For Me? XD

My favorite part about this, though… FACE-PULLING. You know Luke and Asch would have totally been making with the face-pulling and lots of yelling. XD; Also I’m still stupidly fixated on Luke’s Berserker costume title so I had to use it here. It’s just that awesome. :(

I was going to stick Haseo in Xth form but Asch’s armor was already stupidly detailed and Haseo’s Xth form outfit is even moreso and by the time I got to that point during the line art I was all “screw that, I’m just doing first form, it’s the lesser of four evils.” That and it’s Haseo’s most recognizable form anyway, so…

Alex and Cecil = BROS FOREVER. “Dood next door” heroes represent! :D

Yeah, this has been tweeted out. I await the fallout of lulz that will ensue… because I just couldn’t leave well enough alone after that Pancakealypse thing. In the meantime, I junk out on Lunar.

WIPs: wire, line art: Yuri, Cornelius, Death Grunty, line art: Gig, Luke, Asch, line art: everyone else + kitty!

Dear internet, this is why you do not taunt Cthulhu Yoshi’s Imagination:

National Pancake Day PANCAKEALYPSE 2010!!!1
(OST: Dramatic Chipmunk)

♥, Yoshi the Painter Twitterazzi (or is it Twitter Painterazzi? Which one rolls off the tongue better?) and worst fangirl EVER.

Ahem…

Not even my voice actor idols are spared from the wrath of my tablet.
So apparently it was National Pancake Day at IHOP and when these doods tweeted from there and one of them mentioned eating his pancakes with his hands, the above image came to mind. Never mind that IHOP actually gives you just a small stack of 3 pancakes or that I actually had no idea what they were wearing, this HAD to be drawn.

It’s, like… you see an opportunity for lulz, you know the other guy’s going to be cool with it… I had to go for it. Really. It was SO ON.

UPDATE @ 11:10pm:
This calls for some FF4 victory theme. *adds yet another new tag: yoshi wins*
UPDATE @ 11:14pm:
DOUBLE VICTORY. What is this, I don’t even…. XD!
