[CLEAR]

Hey Boss, I was cleaning out the back room and found this lil' cutie. Seems pretty exotic!

Oh no! We have a CLEAR sign warning employees they are not allowed in the dimensional goods warehouse. Now you've gone and mixed lawn gnomes and space gnomes! This is pure madness... or perhaps pure marketing? One product to sell to two worlds? You may be onto something. Maybe we'll let you off with a warning this time.

Hello boss,

here's what hopefully will convince you, not to fire me.

This isn't a happy gnome! How am I going to sell this to--wait ... wait a minute. You may be onto something here. Lawn scarecrows. Keep the pesky kids off your property. You keep your job. For now. The other thing you shown us is both magnificent and terrifying, but it seems to violate our company policy for occult rituals. We don't allow entity-summoning on Gnormal Gnome property!

Trophies added to the top post. Metallic gnomes! Yay!

<<    Gnome Excuses!     >>

You had ONE JOB.

I don't care who your uncle is! Here at the Gnormal Gnome lawn decoration company, we've been making the same product the same way for fifty two years.
What were you thinking? Were you even paying attention to the assembly line machinery? And what in the name of ceramic serenity is THAT abomination? You'd better have a good excuse for this one.

         
RULES:
1. Pick one of the Gnome shapes to color.
2. Feel free to flip, rotate, or prod your Gnome.
3. You may color in the outlines.
4. Animation is fine, but how the heck did you get a ceramic lawn gnome to do THAT? Please explain.
4. Convince me not to fire you.

In the end, it's up to your coworkers to decide the fate of you and your ... experiment.
The holidays are coming up, so voting begins January 2nd.

Meanwhile, I'm going to go have a sit-down with your uncle.

TROPHIES!
      

Winners!

Congrats to the following for keeping their jobs and gaining promotions into the GSPD (Gnome Special Products Department). You took a risk on the company dime, but it paid off in the end.

Focus Test Results:

3rd: Tabata (6 votes) - For this welcoming, lovely little fellow:




2nd: Mokho (13 votes) - For bringing some much-needed style to our product line:




1st: Funkpanzer (14 votes) - For this nightmarish little experiment:




We'd like to thank both the factory workers and the focus testers for participating in this commercial experiment. Those employees who did not pass the focus test... good news! You'll keep your jobs at the plant. However, you've been transferred to the plastic flamingo department, under strict probation.

Awesome - thanks and congrats, folks. I didn't realize that put me into the driver's seat for the next coloring ball, but I've got a great idea for it. Is there any specific timeline?

Here's the new room in progress. It should be the last large, vertical room in Chapter 2. I wanted to give the whole island the feeling of tall peaks and mysterious depths, so expect some grappling hook action in there somewhere, too. I've started filling in details at the very bottom and I have a long climb ahead on this one!

Thank you!

The Knobbcrookian bank uses the strongest vault technology. Will that stop O'Sirus?

Easter Island Cabinet Handle

$2.00

Our luxury hotel room on Easter Island had the most authentic deco and we wanted to bring a little piece of it back with us. How were we supposed to know it carried a curse? Don't worry, the giant stone men only assaulted us until we were safely off the island. I'm sure they can't swim.

Good point! I'm going to texture the tongue more.

I remember that dragon - in the arcade, they almost begged you not to go fight it. Great ref!

The Deep Purr:

It's a tiny bit of a spoiler, but it's actually a taxidermy cat that has been warped back to life with animation magic. It's complicated. So there's no cat suffering here, she just is what she is.

Thanks, cat! Oddly enough, I think today is the first day I've ever tried to draw a cat. Obviously, W.I.P.

A Knobbcrookian banker. It was a terrible idea to go with paper currency, considering the Knobbcrookians eat paper. This probably explains why their economy is struggling.

Here are three new Knobbcrookians, their core ideas from my Patreon donors:

   

Dropsy is fantastic. Things I have learned so far:

1. Squeaky clown shoe toggles in the options menu are underused.
2. Word balloon symbols work really well for replacing dialog.
3. You can make a story about a horrible-looking mutant clown and somehow come out with one of the most uplifting games on the market. What.
4. Don't press the butt button if you have kids. You will be stuck spamming the butt button for 5 minutes while they laugh like little demonspawn.

Thanks for the kind words!

It gets loud in here sometimes.
