I decided to partake in this current song trend, where people are making animations/animatics to this song (Porque te Vas)! This song fits Witherspoon and his brother Dimi (from my project Wellwishers) so well. 💖

I wanted to slowly introduce more of the Wellwishers cast, and make an introductory post for another important character -- Witherspoon's younger brother, Dimi! He's just a little guy, your honor. 😔 And have a redraw of a SpongeBob scene that I did with the Everbros, too!
What are your three favorite things about Vincent and Witherspoon as individual characters? There are lots of things I love about them, but I want to hear from you as the creator!
Awww, thank you so much for the ask, that's so kind of you girl!! C: That's a really nice question, and I really appreciate being able to ramble a bit ehehe!!
For Vincent, I would say, A) as someone who has grown up Southern, it meant a lot to me to create a Southern character who was portrayed in a positive light. He's unabashedly Southern but he's not a stereotype of it, if that makes any sense. He IS a bit silly, but he's also very intelligent and capable! It feels very comforting to me to have a character with a Southern drawl.
B), Vincent is genuinely kind. He really and truly wants the best for everyone around him, even if they call themselves his enemy, and it's zero to none for him to actually hold a grudge against anyone. He's not perfect, and has his own flaws, but he hasn't let the often very cynical nature of the world affect him to the point of allowing him to grow bitter, even though he's had a lot of chances for this to happen.
He's truly a safe person to be around.
C), I can't really go into it too much because it's spoiler-y in nature, but in-story he is associated heavily with trippy dream settings where reality is altered in uneasy ways, where liminal spaces and crazy aesthetics come into play. This is one thing that I'm REALLY looking forward to showing visually! It'll get very weird!
For Witherspoon, A) It's a bit simple, but it genuinely makes me happy that he is based on Bluejays. :) They are my favorite bird, and honestly it just makes me happy to see them.
B), Witherspoon is someone who thinks that he is a very bad person, and he instinctively wonders quite often why anyone would want to be around him. He's a loner by nature, but this added causes him to isolate himself and sometimes even hate himself. Little does he know, though, he is SO loved, and he is loved for exactly who he's always been. He's the most loved person in the whole story, and he has always deserved to be loved.
C), It may be a bit silly, but despite the fact that he is a vigilante/hitman in profession, I also imagine him as a very safe presence. He truly tries his best to make the right judgment calls, and he is honest to his core. Witherspoon would be very hard-pressed to ever lie or show dishonesty about anything, even to his own detriment -- (which happens). Even if he's dealing with those he doesn't like/trust, he absolutely refuses to cheat anyone. If he has sworn an oath to you, he'll never break it.
I took some Wellwishers questions on Instagram, and I thought I'd post some of the lore here too :)
I heard this audio (originally from Isle of Dogs) and knew that it was a perfect fit for Witherspoon! 👀 It relates to some conflicts in the story that are spoiler-y, but I thought the animatic itself isn't too spoiler-y to share! I'm really pleased with how it came out.
They are the best friends forever. 😔💖 That feeling when two people who have never had a real, lasting friendship form an unbreakable bond. These guys are my original characters Vincent and Witherspoon, from my project Wellwishers!
Have a bonus doodle of them in Animal Crossing style, too.
More Wellwishers-posting! This is, of course, inspired by the infamous Barbie drawing meme that circulated around. Should we free these guys or send them to the clank?
These are my original characters Vincent and Witherspoon!
I don't usually post twice in one day, but these were special circumstances... Guys, Witherspoon went outside and built a snowman. 👀 And he has a pointy nose just like Witherspoon.
Now that I introduced Witherspoon I can also share the art doll that I made of him last Summer! 👀 I'm honestly so happy with the result of him. I want to make more art dolls soon.
I wanted to announce my upcoming original comic series, Wellwishers, and the two main characters of it -- Vincent and Witherspoon! 😼 The comic itself isn't ready yet, but I have steadily been working on it behind the scenes -- in fact, I've been working on this project for ten years! I don't want to share too many details yet, lest I wander into spoiler territory, but I wanted to begin to share some fun sneak peeks and to introduce the main characters. Vincent and Witherspoon become unlikely best friends and have adventures in their strange, magic-filled world!
I'll be posting updates on the progress of the comic as they come in my Discord server, Gremlin's Secret Forest (follow the link in the Linktree in my bio to join)! It is a fun, wholesome community geared towards Christian creatives and fans of my comics.
