Me @ me: You need to learn how to draw Lightbulb and Paintbrush so you can draw them in the next part of your comic!

Also me: Instructions unclear. drawing Baxter shenanigans.

#inanimateinsanity
Traditional Inanimate Insanity sketch page featuring Paintbrush, Lightbulb, and Baxter. The top two sketches are of Paintbrush flexing and Lightbulb waving (both drawn directly referencing official S2 art), and a sketch of Baxter based on his S4 design. The captions near them read, "Drawn from ref" and "she [Lightbulb] is way harder to draw than you'd expect?!" On the middle left is a sketch of Paintbrush sitting on the floor, a very stunned and confused expression on their face as their bristles are splayed out every which way due to Lightbulb's reclining on their head. Lightbulb has their right foot rested on their left knee as they hold up a can of Dr. Fizz with their pointer finger pointing outward, their eyes closed, and empty dialogue bubbles indicating that they are rambling. Baxter sits atop Lightbulb's head, holding a wallet in one claw and pulling out a ten dollar bill with the other claw. A caption pointing at Paintbrush reads, "is not sure how this wound up happening." On the middle right is a sketch of Paintbrush holding Baxter in one hand and struggling to pull away a $200 bill with their other hand. Their expression is cartoonishly enraged, with their eyes wide and brow furrowed, their mouth open wide and full of fangs as they yell, and their bristles appearing as flames. Baxter is holding onto the $200 bill with both claws and pulling as Paintbrush yells, "STOP STEALING PEOPLE'S WALLETS!!" The bottom two sketches are of Lightbulb holding Baxter. In the first, she is reprimanding him, saying, "Now, how many times do I have to tell you not to steal random people's wallets?" Baxter is drooping in response. In the next sketch, Baxter perks up and Lightbulb brightens as she goes on, "Only steal CEO'S wallets! That's where the good stuff is."

TUNE-UP (pgs 9-10/?)

After a rude awakening, Test Tube finishes fixing up Toilet!

Just two pages this time, but I really wanted to move past Test Tube's lab and get on with the second half of the comic.

#inanimateinsanity
An Inanimate Insanity comic page. The first panel shows Test Tube sleeping while holding a folded Fan, who starts wiggling in her grasp. In the second panel, Fan springs open with a big grin on his face, startling Test Tube, who jolts back. The third panel shows the results of this, with Test Tube knocking over Toilet, who falls atop Goo and Bot (with Goo getting crushed), while Cabby starts to tip over. Everyone is startled, except Fan, who looks on awkwardly. The fourth panel shows Goo puffing himself up to knock everyone back upright, except for Cabby, who slams face-first onto the floor with a WHAM. In the final panel, Fan waves with an awkward grin, saying, "Gooood... morning?" while Test Tube looks on in irritation. Toilet is dazed, Goo and Bot are shaken, and Cabby is irritated as she pushes herself up on her hands. An Inanimate Insanity comic page. The first panel shows Toilet, who is looking upward in anxiety as Test Tube dumps a bucket full of water into his tank, saying "Aaaand..." The second panel shows Test Tube, standing atop a folding stool, placing Toilet's tank lid back on with a CLUNK, Toilet wincing slightly. Test Tube, a confident look on her face, says, "OKAY! Now give it a try!" In the third panel, Toilet opens his (seat) lid and looks down as he successfully flushes the water in his bowl. The fourth and fifth panels are split diagonally. Test Tube grins widely and fist-pumps, crying "YES! SUCCESS!" before the view zooms out, showing her with a hand to her mouth in thought as an entire wall of dialogue is seen behind her. Much of it cannot be read, but she is rambling about how happy she is for her success, and wondering if she should test the Blue Ray on Toilet. In the sixth panel, Toilet abruptly rushes up to Test Tube's face, screaming, "THANK YOU VERY MUCH MISS TESTY-TUUUUUBE!!" while Test Tube, VERY startled, is knocked backward off her stool. The final panel shows Test Tube having crashed on the ground behind her stool, holding a finger shakily in the air as she very shakily replies, "You're... welcome...?"

Haven't posted in a minute, so here's some #inanimateinsanity art I drew a while back, this time an illustration of a scene from the fic Close to Me.

For context, MePad and Toilet are resting in Test Tube's lab, and MePad, startled by a loud noise, inadvertently winds up strangling Toilet, haha.
An Inanimate Insanity traditional sketch, featuring Toilet and MePad. They are both sitting on a bed, the back of which has been raised so that MePad can sit upright. MePad is visibly startled, his eyes wide and mouth jagged, as his feet wrap around Toilet's base. Toilet is also visibly startled, his eyes both wide and wincing and his "mouth" wobbly. A caption reads "illustration of a scene from ch 2 of Close to Me," while a note by MePad reads "experiencing hypervigilance due to PTSD" and a note by Toilet reads "inadvertently being strangled." /end ID

Hello! I come bearing #inanimateinsanity fanfiction!

Pre-S4, OJ finds himself having nightmares about Salt. He finally decides to open up to a few people about it, to... mixed results. (OJ-centric, featuring Paper, Nickel, Bomb, Salt, and Toilet).

Read it here: archiveofourown.org/works/71734871
An Inanimate Insanity fic cover portraying OJ standing in a dark void. He is attempting to walk away from the viewer, but is turning back, an alarmed expression on his face, as Salt reaches forward to grab his wrist. His movement is so fast that his juice is splashing, some droplets flying out of his glass. The view is from Salt's perspective so only her arm and hand are visible, but we can see her reflection in OJ's glass, where she bares a crazed grin, somewhat similar to the expression she gives OJ in S1E14. The title of the fic, Salt in the Wound, is shown above OJ in white, skewed text. OJ's juice is splashing onto the "n" and "d" of "Wound," while the bottom of the letters of "Salt" seems to be dissolving, with salt-like flakes falling down from it.

Tiny #inanimateinsanity sketch I did last night.

I imagine Bot is curious about MePad, but asking Test Tube would result in getting information about his technical specs, and asking Fan would result in a summary of MePad's involvement in each episode... so Bot goes to Toilet instead.
A two-panel scribbled traditional comic of Bot and Toilet, with Bot wearing their bandages. In the first panel, Bot is approaching Toilet and running their right wrist anxiously, while Toilet looks away bitterly. Bot: Hey… Toilet? Toilet: Oh. Sorry for hitting you. Bot: It’s not that. In the second panel, Bot is looking away anxiously while Toilet looks shocked and saddened, his eyes wide and empty and his mouth bearing a wobbling frown. Bot: I was just wondering… what was MePad like?

Sorry I haven't posted in a while. I've been in a lot of physical pain which makes it hard for me to Do Things. But uh, here's a scribble I did in my tiny sketchbook.

I can imagine Toilet doing this when no one else is in the theater.

#inanimateinsanity
A sketch of Toilet from Inanimate Insanity leaning against the prop of MePad from the play in S4E1. Toilet bears a wobbly frown, and his eyes are drooped and sad.

Couldn't just leave off with two. Here's another #inanimateinsanity character as a dragon--this time Test Tube!

She's kinda based on some deep sea fish, with the transparent scales and bioluminescence. For some reason it felt right to give her six limbs. More limbs = more productivity?
A digitally colored traditional sketch of Test Tube from Inanimate Insanity as a dragon. She has a very long body with six limbs, a long head shaped like a test tube (with the horns curling around the back of the head to indicate a rim), and a long tail that looks like dripping, bubbling liquid. Her scales and skin are transparent, so her bones and organs can be seen (with her organs glowing green). Her head and tail glow green as well, with spots making it look as though she has bubbling liquid. Her limbs are black, looking like the simplified limbs of the II style. The top left sketch shows her head from the front; her mouth is not visible. The next sketch shows her head from behind, showing how her horns form a ring at the back of her head. The next sketch shows her in profile, lying on her back four limbs and sitting up in order to grab a beaker from a low counter. She is grinning as she looks down at it. The next sketch shows her standing on two legs with her tail curled around her feet for balance as she works on a rocket. She's holding a blowtorch in her upper right hand, a hammer in her lower right hand, and a bundle of nails in her lower left hand. Her tongue is sticking out, her eyes narrowed in concentration. In the final sketch, she is posed with the Fan dragon (from a previous drawing), both of them grinning, their hands clasped with their opposite arms stretched back as they jump into the air, mimicking the Inanimate Insanity Invitational intro pose. Notes around the sketches read, "Test Tube Dragon!" "horns curled around back of head," "skin/scales transparent," "organs glow green!," "six legs!," "tail is bioluminescent," "frills on bottom look like liquid spill" "can stand on two legs to use 4 limbs at once."

Now in color! (In the future I'm just gonna post the full color pictures.)

#inanimateinsanity
The same image as in the previous tweet, but colored. Dragon!Fan's body, head, and the webbing of the frills on his body and tail are all bright red with slightly darker red stripes. His neck, hands, forearms, feet, and lower legs are black, while his upper arms, thighs, and the ribs of the frills on his body and tail are golden yellow with slightly darker stripes. His underbelly is a lighter shade of red, and the underside of his neck is a dark gray. His teeth are naturally slightly yellow.

Now in color! #inanimateinsanity
The same image as the previous tweet, but colored. Dragon!Toilet has pale blue-white scales and a bright blue underbelly, with his horns, crest, and wings being a slightly warm light gray, and the tail is a slightly darker warm dark gray. The inside of his mouth is red, and his teeth are a natural light yellow.

Another #inanimateinsanity dragon design! This time it's Fan!

I had a pretty clear idea for his design. It's fun trying to keep as many traits from the II style as possible, hence the simplified hands/feet. (Claws appear when necessary!)

I wanna do more of these!
A traditional sketch of Fan from Inanimate Insanity as a dragon. He has a slim body and slim limbs, with a triangular, frilled head resembling a fan. The corners of his mouth are sometimes visible. He has frills on either side of his body that can flare out into a fan shape. His tail is the shape of Fan's lower body. His hands and feet are simplified unless his claws need to show, resembling the simple limbs of the II characters. His hands, forearms, feet, lower legs, and neck are black. In the top left sketch he is standing at 3/4ths view, grinning, and holding a phone in his left hand. Notes around him read "frills on head" and "frills, not wings," and a couple other notes demonstrate that his claws can be visible if necessary. To the right are two sketches of his head from the front: one with him smiling, and the other with him frowning, his head lowered and frills folded, giving his face a scrunched-up appearance. Below and to the left is a sketch of him from above with all his frills extended as he glides, a determined grin on his face. A note above reads "can glide with frills!" To the right is a tiny sketch of him standing upright shown from the front, body frills against his sides, and on the bottom left is a similar sketch with the body frills extended somewhat to demonstrate the fan shape. On the bottom right are two sketches showing his head in profile view: one with his mouth closed (only the corner is visible), and one with his mouth open (the mouth is underneath the frills, and tiny fangs are visible). A note to the side reads, "mouth under the head frill--not often visible except corners."

Still working on the next batch of pages for my comic, but I also felt the urge to draw my blorbo, Toilet from #inanimateinsanity, as a dragon.

I like the challenge of drawing characters as a different species while still keeping them identifiable. It's fun! I wanna draw more II characters.
Traditional sketches of Toilet from Inanimate Insanity drawn as a dragon. On the top left is a drawing of Toilet as he is in the show, standing at 3/4ths view in a neutral pose and with one eyebrow raised. An arrow points down from him over to a dragon version of Toilet, which keeps roughly the same shape as the original design, but with a few additions. Dragon!Toilet has at least four horns on the top of his head, small nostrils at the end of his snout, and tiny teeth lining his mouth (which is still shaped like a toilet bowl). Drool drips out of the side of his mouth. His body is short and stumpy, and his only limbs are a pair of comically tiny, feathery wings that wiggle as he flies. His belly has slightly thicker scales in segmented sections, and he has a gray tail that looks vaguely like a stylized pipe. In this sketch he is flying to the right at 3/4ths view, smiling with his mouth wide open. Above the first sketch of him reads "Toilet Dragon!" with notes around him reading "Amphitere (flies via magic)," "useless wings," "mouth perpetually full of drool," and "pipe-looking tail." On the middle left is a sketch of dragon!Toilet sitting down and facing forward, expression neutral, tiny wings folded and barely visible. To the right of that is a sketch of dragon!Toilet in profile, flying to the right with his body and tail stretched behind him, smiling. The notes "so graceful" and "so majestic" surround him. On the bottom left is a sketch of him sitting at 3/4ths view, smiling with his mouth slightly open and drool dripping out, the phrase "silly little beastie" written above. To the right of that is a more extreme pose, with his body curved back, both of his jaws wide open, showing his fangs, and his eyes are skewed as he yells "YAAAAH!" The notes read "upper jaw is only hinged when it makes his expression really funny" and "fangs not seen very often." The bottom right shows him in profile leaning down to the left, glaring, and snarling.

TUNE UP (pgs 5-8/?)

Test Tube enlists the help of Bot and Goo (the Cheer Factory!) as she continues her repairs on Toilet. Said repairs will take longer than Toilet expected, but Fan has a plan!

(Cookie if you correctly guess what movie they're watching.)

#inanimateinsanity
The fifth page consists of six panels. In the first one, a note at the top reads "Later..." Test Tube's grinning face is surrounded by darkness, as we're seeing from Toilet's perspective as he wakes up. He mumbles "Wuh... huh?" and Test Tube replies, "And... welcome back to consciousness, Toilet!" In the second panel, Toilet is shown with his eyes wide, his expression slightly out-of-it as he replies, "Oh... kay...?" In the third panel, Test Tube stands proudly before Toilet, one hand behind her back and the other pointed upward as she announces, "I have successfully replaced all of the damaged plumbing within your tank!" As Toilet turns to her, an eyebrow raised, she continues, "How do you feel?" In the fourth panel, Toilet looks down at his lid, seeming unsure as he replies, "I do feel a bit better, but I'm still a bit banged up..." Off-panel, Test Tube replies, "Oh, don't worry! I have a strategy for that, too!" Toilet answers, "You do--?" In the fifth panel, Test Tube smiles as she holds up a sheet of sandpaper, while Toilet jumps up, eyes wide in horror. In the last panel, Toilet darts away, leaving a dust cloud in his wake, while Test Tube, brow furrowed in annoyance, sighs and pulls out her phone. "Bot," she says, "I need backup." Bot replies, "On it, boss!" The sixth page consists of two panels. In the first, Test Tube is scraping the sandpaper against Toilet's lid, her eyes narrowed and tongue sticking out in concentration. Toilet's eyes are shut painfully as bubbly tears fly from them, his mouth a wobbling frown as he trembles and cries out, "OUCH OW OW OWIE OWWW!" Bot stands behind him, their arms extended and wrapped around his tank and their legs extended in order to reach as they say, "It's okay, Toilet!" Goo, meanwhile, sits at the foot of Toilet's base, sticking to part of it as he says, "You got this!" In the second panel, Test Tube is holding Toilet's lid still as she scrapes epoxy onto him to fill in the scrapes and cracks. He already has multiple cracks and scrapes filled in this way, though his eyes are small and tears are dripping down his face, indicating it's likely not a pleasant experience. Bot hangs from the top of his lid, grinning at him encouragingly as they announce, "Almost done!" Goo, stuck to the opposite side of Toilet's tank, also grins encouragingly as he says, "You're doing great! Like a butterfly that turns into goop inside a cocoon, except you're getting covered with goop!" The seventh page consists of four panels. In the first panel, Test Tube is leaning back, wiping her brow in relief as she says, "WHEW! The hard part's done!" Toilet, all of his injuries now covered with gray epoxy, sighs in relief, eyes closed. Bot leaps up behind him, arms and legs extended as they exclaim "WOO-HOO!" while Goo rears up, smiling brightly as he exclaims, "HOO-RAY!" In the second panel, Test Tube's eyes narrow as she looks back at Toilet and rubs her "chin" in thought, announcing, "Unfortunately, it will take a full 24 hours for the epoxy I applied to cure." Toilet is horrified, his eyes wide and his mouth open wide as he exclaims, "WHUH?! What'm I supposed to do until then?!" The third panel shows the four from far away as they all look down in thought. Test Tube and Bot's eyes are narrowed, while Toilet and Goo look worried. But in the fourth panel, Fan suddenly springs into the foreground, carrying a stack of DVDs in one arm and a pillow in the other as he loudly proclaims, "SLEEPOVER!" Behind him, Test Tube, Toilet, Bot, and Goo all jump away in surprise, eyes wide. The eighth page consists of two panels. In the first one, Cabby, Fan, Test Tube, Toilet, Bot, and Goo are all watching a movie on a large screen. One of Cabby's eyes is narrowed and her tongue is sticking out in concentration as she scribbles furiously into a folder with a film reel label. Fan is lying on his "stomach" atop her head, his legs kicked out behind him, a bucket of Cobs Corn in his left arm as he points at the screen. Test Tube sits between them and Toilet, one of her eyebrows furrowed as she gestures at the screen with an open palm. Toilet sits between Test Tube and Bot and Goo, his base wrapped in a blanket, his lid slightly open, his eyes wide and shiny as he takes in the movie. Goo sits next to Toilet, an uncertain expression on his face, while Bot sits atop Goo, grinning as they point at the screen. Around the group sits a bag of chips, a stack of VHS tapes and DVDs, an overturned bucket of Cobs Corn, a half-eaten cookie, a half-eaten plate of pizza, and various food crumbs. Dialogue from the TV reads, "CRAZY Ernie's AMAZING Emporium of uh... TOTAL BARGAIN MADNESS!" Dialogue from the characters reads as follows: TT: I still don't get why the TV looks like one of the strange alien creatures! F: OH! OH! This scene is changed in other versions! G: Do you think the Toaster will be okay? B: Sure they will! Just watch! The second panel has the note "SEVERAL MOVIES LATER" and features the group sleeping. Test Tube is drooling and hugging a folded Fan in her sleep. She's leaning against a pillow which is propped against Toilet's side. Toilet's lid is wide open as he sleeps, completely obscuring his face. Bot sleeps using Goo as a pillow, and Goo is perfectly fine with this. Behind them, Cabby sleeps with a blanket wrapped around most of her body, held up by her arms. They are all snoring.

OKAY, I'm going to start posting this comic! It's still in-progress, but I hope you enjoy!

TUNE-UP (pgs 1-4/?)

Toilet, still injured post-S2, seeks the help of former contestants to help him recover. Test Tube tries her best!

#inanimateinsanity
The first page of a traditionally drawn Inanimate Insanity comic. In the first panel, Toilet approaches Test Tube, looking off to the side anxiously while Test Tube looks back at him with a mildly surprised and interested expression. Toilet is covered in scrapes and cracks. He asks, "Testy-Tube... D'you think you could..." The next three panels are very small, featuring Test Tube approaching Cabby and speaking to her, though no dialogue is shown. Cabby puts a hand to her chin and nods seriously before reaching into her drawer and handing Test Tube a book. In the final panel, Test Tube has a cork in her head and is sitting at a desk, looking down at a book. Her right hand is balled into a fist which is pressed into her "forehead" while her right hand is pointing down at the book as she reads it. The book has multiple tabs stuck in it. Off to her right is a laptop and an open can of Dr. Fizz, as well as her own cell phone, face-down. Off to her left is another book, some crumpled pieces of paper, a notebook with the label "PARTS TO ORDER" on the current page, and a desklamp. In the background is an analogue clock reading 6:58, presumably PM. The second page consists of two panels. The first has the note "1 WEEK LATER..." in the corner. Test Tube, wearing her lab coat and cork, is tipped slightly back with her hands behind her back as she regards Toilet, one eyebrow furrowed and the other raised. She has notable bags under her eyes. Toilet is hovering at an awkward angle, tipped forward, and shivering. His eyes are wide and have bags beneath them, and a spiral above his head indicates that he's dizzy. Notably, he has no water in his bowl. Test Tube says, "Ah, Toilet! Did you empty your tank prior to your arrival?" Toilet replies, "Yeh... But now I feel a might bit woozy." To which, Test Tube responds, "Excellent!" In the second panel, Test Tube is standing on a stepstool behind Toilet, whose lid is sitting on the ground. She is reaching into Toilet's tank with her left hand while her right hand holds a wrench. She looks mildly annoyed, while Toilet looks slightly worried as he looks up and back in her direction. Toilet starts the exchange with Test Tube as follows: "Miss Testy-Tube, are you sure you know what you're doing?" "I have read approximately six and three-quarters books on plumbing in the past week." "...Does that mean yes?" "It means if I don't get this done soon, I will go crazy." The third page consists of four panels. In the first, Test Tube and Toilet are shown from the front, with Test Tube behind Toilet and reaching both hands into his tank. One of her eyes is narrowed in concentration, while Toilet looks up at her fearfully, saying, "Uh, be careful, that stuff is really--" And Test Tube interrupts him, saying, "Hang on, I think I've found the problem..." The next two panels are very small, showing the characters in the same position as before. Test Tube reaches deeper into Toilet's tank, both eyes narrowed as she says, "Aaaaand..." In the next panel, she abruptly yanks part of Toilet's plumbing out with a CRACK and a crazed, triumphant expression as she holds the pipe aloft. The substance in her splashes with the sudden movement. The pipe is cracked in multiple places. Toilet, meanwhile, looks shocked, his eyes huge and twitching, his mouth wobbly. Test Tube calls out "ah-HAH!" In the final panel, Test Tube remains in the exact same position, but with her eyes slightly wider and her triumphant smile a lot more wobbly as Toilet drops to the side with a THUD, unconscious. The fourth page consists of four panels. The first panel shows Test Tube still standing on a stepstool over Toilet (who is still unconscious) and holding either side of her head with a shocked, horrified expression on her face as she drops the broken pipe and exclaims, "HOLLY GOSH GOLLY GEE WHILLIKERS!! TOILET!! I knew I should've sedated him prior to operation!" In the second panel, Test Tube rubs her forehead, looking shaken but mildly relieved as she says, "At least no one saw that..." In the last two panels, we see the same scene from a distance, revealing Fan standing off to the side, staring at the two of them blankly, while Test Tube looks back at him, eyes wide in horror. In the final panel, Fan pulls out a phone and begins to tap into it while Test Tube lunges forward on the stool, glaring at Fan and pointing at him accusingly as she cries, "DON'T YOU DARE UPDATE MY KILL COUNT ON THE WIKI!!"

I'm still drawing stuff!! Back to working on my silly sketch comic which I... haven't started posting yet. But here's some sketches of Bot and Goo I did to try to figure out how to draw them. (Still not sure about the heights, but I'll try not to sweat it too much.)

#inanimateinsanity
Pencil sketches on paper. On the top left is Bot smiling with their hands on their "hips" as they tap one of their feet, and to their right is Goo with a wobbly, slightly unsure smile. On the middle left is Bot shown from the side, on their tiptoes with their legs slightly extended as they look upward, tapping their left hand to their mouth, as though observing something. To the right of that is a sketch of Bot sitting on Goo, who is slightly squished, but smiling and wobbling, while Bot smiles back. On the bottom is a very roughly sketched size chart showing Test Tube (who is grinning and pointing upward), Bot (who is smiling in a default pose), Fan (who is looking at his phone), and Toilet (who is facing forward in a default pose). A note above Bot says "SMOL. body is 1/3 height of TT's" and a note below the sketches reads "These heights may or may not be right, but they're not always consistent in the show either, sooo..."

Here's some art of my objectsona, Burning Cheese, whom you've probably noticed in my icon. She's a flaming cheese dish (which is very tasty btw), which I chose for several reasons that are too long to detail in a space like this. I had fun designing her!
A digital drawing of an object show-style character against a gray-blue background. She is a stylized, vaguely triangular saganaki (a Greek flaming cheese dish) with bright orange cheese that is slightly burnt at the tips and edges, half of it lit on fire. She has the typical dot eyes of an object show character, but rather than a standard mouth, she is lifting the front corner of herself (her "head") and manipulating it into a smile, with the cheese dripping down to the floor and looking vaguely like fangs. Her name, "Burning Cheese," is written above her. In the background are sketches of her--one where she is reared up in an angry shout, her eyes bulging and glaring, and her flame flickering more strongly; one where her fire has been put out and her eyes are stylized as Xs; and two where she is lying in a neutral position with the corners of a smile barely visible, with one drawing shown partially from above and the other slightly more to the side. A traditional drawing of the same character from the first drawing. The first sketch shows her with her back corner slightly curled up (with this noted in the drawing itself), the second sketch shows her from above (also noted in the drawing), and the third sketch looks identical to the main drawing from the previous image. The fourth shows her sleeping with her fire put out with a note saying "fire only goes out when she's sleeping." The fifth shows her raising her head, her "mouth" angled in a frown, and displaying a confused expression. The sixth shows her raising her back corner and angling her "mouth" into a surprised "oh!" expression, her eyes wide circles. The seventh and final sketch shows her with her "mouth" raised and eyes shut in an approximation of an "XD" expression.

Almost forgot this one. Just a little #inanimateinsanity comic of Toilet and MePad.

Toilet is sad, but kitties make everything better!
A three-panel Inanimate Insanity comic featuring Toilet and MePad. In all three panels they are sitting somewhere at the edge of the contestant grounds underneath a tree. In the first panel, Toilet is nuzzling into MePad's right side, eyes shut, a distressed look on his face as tears run down his face. MePad is leaning against Toilet, his eyes shut, a sympathetic look on his face. In the second panel, an audio box labeled "Kittens Purring (2 hr loop)" shows up at the bottom of MePad's screen, with yellow lines off to MePad's side indicating that he is playing the sound. MePad's eyes are open as he looks down at Toilet, whose eyes are now wide in surprise, though tears are still running down his face. In the third panel, MePad continues to play the sound while his expression shifts to an embarrassed smile at Toilet, who returns the look with a shaky smile of his own, while still crying.

Here's the chapter banners I drew for it, too. I drew them in the same style as the credits sequence for the #inanimateinsanity movie! Which... took forever for that last banner. Pretty happy with how they turned out, though!
An Inanimate Insanity fanfic banner in the style of the Season 2 movie's credits sequence. In Test Tube's lab, MePad's body is sitting diagonally across the table, while his screen is being lifted up at an angle by Taco (standing on a stool on the right) and Toilet (holding up the screen using his lid on the left). Test Tube, meanwhile, is wearing her lab coat, and has wedged herself between MePad's body and screen, her legs kicked up behind her. The chapter's title, Test Your Metal, is in the bottom left in white text. An Inanimate Insanity fanfic banner in the style of the Season 2 movie's credits sequence. MePad's body, Test Tube, Fan, Taco, and Toilet are all in the basket of a hot air balloon. Test Tube is on the left, wearing a cork and her lab coat, her hands gripping the edge of the basket. Fan is to the right of her, one hand gripping the edge of the basket. MePad's body is leaning against the right side of the basket, ropes binding it together. Toilet is in front of Fan, facing right. Taco is at the front of the basket, her hands gripping the edge of it. On the right is the title of the chapter in white text reading "Chapter 3: In a Fix" An Inanimate Insanity fanfic banner in the style of the Season 2 movie's credit sequence. 3GS, MePhone, Test Tube, Fan, Taco, Toilet, and MePad's body are all in the Meeple Care room. MePad's body is in two pieces, the main part (with the exploded batteries exposed) sitting on the closer bed, and his screen (which is coming apart) sitting on the opposite bed. Taco is sitting next to him, facing away from the viewer, one hand on MePad's frame. 3GS is standing between the two beds, both of his hands gripping the frame of the far bed next to him as he looks over to his right. To his right is MePhone, who is holding his hands on the sides of his "head" in distress as he also looks to his right, where Fan is rushing, one arm outstretched, to Test Tube on the far right of the room, by the shelves. Test Tube, wearing a cork and her labcoat, is sitting on her knees, her hands clawing at the sides of her "head" as she looks over the open contents of a box. Toilet stands centered closest to the viewer, watching Fan and Test Tube. To his right is the title of the chapter in white text: "Chapter 4: Broken Pipe Dreams"

Here's another #inanimateinsanity fic I wrote, Broken Pipes & Broken Screens.

Toilet and Test Tube (and eventually some others) team up in an attempt to fix MePad! I'm sure it'll go fine.

An Inanimate Insanity fanfic cover, portraying MePad's shattered screen taking up the entire cover, though the cracks on his screen are centered rather than portrayed exactly where he was stabbed in canon. The background of the screen is dull and blurred. Within the screen is Test Tube, Toilet, Fan, Taco, 3GS, and MePhone. Toilet is in the center, directly beneath the center of the cracks, his body covered in scratches and cracks itself, his expression stressed and alarmed, and dark circles ringing his eyes. Test Tube is behind him to the left, wearing her lab coat, her arms raised and hands clawed in a mad scientist pose, and her face bearing a maniacal grin. Behind Toilet and to the right is Fan, whose teeth are grit as he looks down at his phone in worry. In front of Toilet and to the left is Taco, who also bears dark circles under her eyes, and who is looking off to the side and wiping at dried tear stains on her face. In front of Toilet and to the right of him are 3GS and MePhone. 3GS is standing behind MePhone and looking up at him with a worried expression, while MePhone stands in front of 3GS, arms reached out to grab 3GS's side and the top of 3GS's head in a protective gesture as he looks off to the side with a frown. All of the characters' faces are distorted by the cracks in MePad's screen. At the top and bottom of the cover is the title of the fic, "Broken Pipes & Broken Screens" in white text outline in black.

As a bonus, here's an #inanimateinsanity sketch I don't believe I've posted outside of Discord. Writing Cobs in that fic was kindof infuriating as he's such an awful person, so I scribbled this, haha.
A rough sketch parodying the "MR ELECTRIC KILL HIM" meme. My character, a skeleton lizard, is glaring forward while pointing to the right (her left), the words "TOILET KILL HIM" shown around her. Off to the side where she is pointing is a small scribble of Steve Cobs standing with a blank expression on his face, while Toilet (with an enraged expression) is flying at him, holding a very bewildered Knife in his mouth.

I write fanfiction too! This is the cover of an #inanimateinsanity fic about MePhone3GS and what happens to him upon returning from his mission to obtain the Shimmer sample.

It's not happy, as you might guess.

Read it here: archiveofourown.org/works/63225697
An Inanimate Insanity fanfic cover, showing MePhone3GS lying with his back against a heavily cracked wall in a storage closet. His eyes are wide, their centers white, portraying a terrified expression, and his mouth is absent. Meanwhile, Steve Cobs's shadow towers over him, white ovals representing his glasses present within the shadow. The fic's title, FOOTNOTE, appears at the top-center of the screen, in the same font the Inanimate Insanity season 2 title uses.

This is some fanart of the #inanimateinsanity fic "In-Between Days" on AO3. It's a fic about MePad experiencing a timeloop during the finale, and it's very good. All the interactions between MePad and Toilet are lovely, especially this one, which I HAD to draw.
A piece of Inanimate Insanity fanart. MePad and Toilet are lying side by side in the grass, and Toilet, his body covered in cracks, scratches, and dirt, is partially embedded into the ground in a small crater. MePad is invisible (represented by his being transparent) except for the white-and-gray invisibow he is wearing. One leg is stretched out in the grass, and the other is pulled up slightly. He is looking up into the sky, his expression serious and distant with horror and exhaustion, evident by the dark circles around his eyes and the fact that his eyes lack color. Toilet is looking off to the side in MePad's general direction, lid partially open, a concerned, shocked expression crossing his face. It is sunset, and Toilet and the invisibow are casting long shadows in the grass, while MePad himself casts no shadow at all. Text above and below the characters reads, "You are one of the most important people in my life. I died without telling you that."

More #inanimateinsanity art! Here's a piece I drew of Toilet and MePad shortly after the finale aired.

I noticed Toilet disappeared when everyone went to check on Knife, so I imagined this was where he went...

"YOU were the perfect assistant..."
A digital painting of Toilet from Inanimate Insanity, crying as he hovers over MePad's corpse. It is nighttime, and the contestant grounds are peaceful and empty. There is a fog against the horizon, though the trees, mountains, and a purple hill are visible beyond that. MePad's corpse bears the cracks that formed when he was stabbed, and he is still wearing his bowtie. Toilet bears cracks and scratches, and tears are running down his face, and his mouth is slightly open.

Wow, folks are really liking my #inanimateinsanity art?! So uh, here's a pic I drew for International Asexuality Day last month! These are just my headcanons for MePhone, MePad, and Toilet.
An Inanimate Insanity digital drawing featuring MePhone, MePad, and Toilet (in that order, from left to right). MePhone is leaning back against MePad, holding an apothisexual flag in the air in his right hand, and eating a cookie with aromantic flag patterned frosting. His eyes are closed and he is smiling as he munches on the cookie, crumbs on his face. MePad is smiling and leaning slightly to his left (our right), his usual face colors replaced with the aromantic flag on the left and the asexual flag on the right. Toilet is smiling with his eyes squinted shut (a rough approximation of the XD emote) while waving two flags (aromantic and apothisexual), held between his lid and seat. The three of them are standing against a soft purple/blue background.

Folks seem to be enjoying my #inanimateinsanity art, so here's another one I drew a few months back. A friend gave me the idea to draw this silly meme with Toilet and MePhone, haha.
A four-panel Inanimate Insanity comic, parodying the "is that your fursona" meme. In the first panel, Toilet and MePhone are standing out on the contestant grounds, where pine trees and colorful hills are visible in the background. Toilet, on the left, is drawing on a white piece of paper using a blue marker he's holding in his mouth, and is looking over at MePhone sadly. MePhone is on the right, pointing at Toilet with an accusing, unimpressed look on his face. To the left of Toilet is a zoomed-in version of his drawing, which is a crude marker drawing of a cat with stick legs and featuring a toilet lid and bowl on its face. MePhone is saying, "What is that. Is that your fursona? That's cringe." In the second panel, Toilet looks down at his drawing, his pupils shrinking, while MePhone continues to look on, unimpressed. Toilet is saying, "...oh." The dialogue bubble is stylized to be very wobbly, drippy, and small. In the third panel, tears are forming in Toilet's eyes, and he has dropped the marker on top of the drawing. Meanwhile, MePhone is walking away with a shrug, saying, "Anyway, for our next challenge..." In the fourth panel, Toilet is now in a random bathroom in Hotel OJ, staring directly into a mirror and crying in an exaggerated manner, his eyes huge and wobbly with bubbly tears. Within the mirror, we can see an open door in the background, with OJ poking through the door, one hand on the frame, as he squints at Toilet and asks, "what are you doing here" in a small text bubble

Another #inanimateinsanity comic I drew a while ago. Toilet shows MePad his artistic skills!
A five panel Inanimate Insanity comic, featuring MePad and Toilet on the contestant grounds during the day. In the first panel, MePad approaches Toilet, who is drawing something on a pink sheet of paper with a purple marker held in his mouth. Both characters are shown from behind. MePad asks, "What are you up to, Toilet?" In the second panel, Toilet whirls around, pulling the paper with him in his invisible grip and letting the marker fly out of his mouth. His expression is ecstatic as he replies, "Oh, MePad! Looky here!" In the third panel, Toilet holds up the paper, revealing a very rough drawing (with the purple ink running) of two catlike creatures, both depicted with stick limbs. The one sitting on the left has a large screen head with MePad's scribbled face and ears on top and is labeled "MEPAD" while the one standing on the right has Toilet's bowl and lid for a mouth and is labeled "ME." Toilet proudly announces, "I drew us as kitties! What do you think?" In the fourth panel, MePad stares forward with a blank expression on his face. In the fifth panel, MePad's expression turns into an amused smile as a notification appears at the bottom of his screen, showing a smaller image of Toilet's drawing alongside text reading, "Image saved to Memories"
