Flowjam entry art from the winter 2023 flowjam ˋ( ° ▽、° )


Hey! ヾ( •ω•`)o
So I’m alive… I think… I don’t know, finals still have me one foot in the grave and it’s kinda cozy in there.

Anyways, why am I showing my ugly mug around here again?
Well, around the time the last Flowjam ended, I started a small project where I wanted to do some art for some of the game entries I liked.
This, of course, went out of control as I then wanted to make art for every entry.
All 52 of them


6 months have passed
I am done



AAUUGRUHGHRUHHAAAAAAaaaaand I am finally done. εミ(ο __)ο ᵖᵒᵒᵐᶠ


So I got a lot I want to say, a lot I want to share, but it’s gonna be a bit long, so here’s the short of it before the long.

It’s been a blast to make this, I had support from tons of people and I would have burnt out and never finished this without them, so here’s a thank you to every person who ever gave me encouragement or just said they liked my art.

I hope the people who participated enjoy what I’ve made. It’s been really fun and I’m glad it’s over.

The long

So I started this during school and I also had to make the emotes for the Flowlab discord server on top of making another game as a project so it’s taken a while, but I’m really happy with everything, and I hope the original game makers are too… or maybe they aren’t, maybe they hate the art and hate me too, maybe they’re all out to have my head on a stick with two sharpened ends, I dunno.

This wasn’t really a secret, if anyone watched my live stream of some of the early drawings then they already knew about this, but I kinda wanted to surprise people. Since I need to finish this before Monday I thought I might have to post an incomplete version but the last bunch were pretty easy, so I was able to finish it in preparation for the next Flowjam, whenever that is.

For some of the things I had to contact the original game makers for details on their games, like Rezarg’s “Cloaked” and MoneyPenny’s “Schrödinger’s Cat” or “WibblyWobbly”.
Rezarg’s was too small to get any details out of it, I left my first attempt in the section with all the other images.
MoneyPenny’s game was taken deleted by themselves before I could play it. When I contacted them I learned that the original character was a cat and that the character ran on wheels.

You’ll notice that the entire cast from “Murder in the Refrigerator” by Bmarzi is here, that’s because I liked the design of them all too much and went ham. My favorites have to be Tom and Letty, I mean Tom has a gun, you can’t tell a man with a gun that you don’t like him.
Their individual images are listed below with all the others.
I also had a little joke with Jam, it’s down below too.

You’ll notice that there are some graves, some of the games were deleted before I could play them, specifically:

“unknown universes (crazy)” by munasheasome
“Everlasting Universes” by Kade76336
“Hidden in Shadow and Light” by twilight studios
“New Game” by Technoblaze

You might have noticed that there are only three gravestones, that’s because I was able to do munasheasome’s game before it was deleted.
I put it next to the graves, it’s the default with the rat and cheese and it’s one of my favorites since the rat is great and it started the pose I would use for all the other defaults.

There’s a bunch of extra stuff I made for the lolz that can be found with all the other images down below if you want to check it out. I left notes and things to explain the context of what I made since I really based everything on what I thought was funny at the time.

Also, partway through I kinda won the Flowjam, soooo… geet recccted lool ԅ(¯ ▽ ¯ԅ)
No, but actually, wtfuuudge- thanks a bunch?! Thank you for voting for our entry, and thanks for even just playing it, it really means a lot to me as some random kid on the internet.

I don’t think I’ll be doing this again, I might actually develop carpal tunnel this time.
Maybe I’ll just do my favorites instead of all of them, but I do art with a mouse and keyboard so no waaay am I doing this without wrecking my wrist and fingers.

After this, I’ll probably go die again, I’m visiting family overseas and it’s pretty devoid of technology out there, so I’ll return to obscurity for a couple of months. This also means I probably won’t be participating in the next jam, which is sad… for only me since I’d compleeetely wipe out the competition again. I mean, suuure, I guess JR01 was there, but really it was all me… probably.

To end this wall, I had fun making this, so I hope you all enjoy it too!



Here are all the images by themselves, check them out if you dare.

As a little note, all the images are upscaled to 500%, so a fifth of it is its original size.
This is just in case you want the original size of the image.

"Cloaked" - Team Rezarg

I had to contact Rezarg since the player in “Cloaked” was way too low-res to pick apart and details.
On the right is my first attempt.

Flowjam Art1Flowjam Art2

"unknown universes (crazy)" - munasheasome

This is one of the games that were completely gone from Flowlab, but luckily it was the second one on the list so I got to it before it was gone.

Flowjam Art2

"Cosmic Gust" - thebrickccentric

Flowjam Art3

"The Other Perspective" - Capps

Flowjam Art4

"DataDrive:WorldSeeker" - CarbonSoda

The game was incomplete and broken so I got the USB from in the game and broke it.

Flowjam Art5

"T/Darkness (W.I.P)" - OriginsOrange

I don’t really know what this is, but I didn’t reach out to OriginsOrange because I thought it’d be funny.

Flowjam Art6

"Beyond The Glass" - DinoCode

Madeline… but in a fighting game.

Flowjam Art7

"The End is Just the Beginning" - TheFlyingShoe

Reskined default, similar but not fully a part of the default crew.

I accidentally lost the save file for this one but had it recorded on a live stream so I went pixel by pixel and rebuilt it.

The first time I tried to do this it looked like an alien coral, so it took a bit to get the right shape.

Flowjam Art12

"Lurking Eyes" - LettuceMan

"Paper Clips" - DraftyScienceCoat75

Flowjam Art14

Flowjam Art40

"ENDLSS.PRTL" - dapres87

Also, before anyone says this, “Gaurdian” is the way the game spelled it, it’s not a typo.

The math is defiantly incorrect, but it explains why I couldn’t make the jumps.

You did a great job on all of these pieces, and I think the 3-D visualization of the novavis’s character was done super, super well! Great job! :slight_smile:

The lore for the Gamougg drawing just shows that you should never stop trying. Also this is amazing! So big and Chungus. Real, serious, six-month dedication and I applaud it.

Do you mind if post this on my website? I will include your name there, as well as anything else you need. My main page has Flowlab and stuff on it, while the individual art for Gamougg could go on the fanart page, which has every Gamougg fanart on it posted epicly and on display for everyone to see.

Do whatever you want with them.

This goes for all participants, if you want to use the art for something then go ahead, it’s your character.
There’s no need to credit me or anything, do what you want with it.

I just want to say thank you for the amazing work. I really love the art you did for my game. It’s pretty tempting to use it as the games icon. Amazing job with all the other art to, they are really thoughtful and well done. :heart:
