Hello! I absolutely love your art style and I was wondering, if you haven't already, could you please make a video about how you found your art style?

Can I just... have all those animations you did at the end? Just want them to be continuously playing on my desktop...

My favorite gender Halloween experience was this past year when I went trick or treating as Peppermint Butler. I was wearing a suit (duh) plus the wig and peppermint makeup, and there were some parents handing out candy with their little kids who would say, "Okay, give him a candy!" and my trans male heart just exploded with happiness

OMG your right

The figure in the window with glowing orange eyes... Nice.

I love it so much 😭. Janus's pride outfit and later his hand about to grab remus, Logans emotionless little pumpkin, the dynamic of all the poses. Great commentary too, I often come back to speedpaints because they're just so nice to listen to and watch. Makes sense that Virgil is in front twice, since he's subdued enough in color and personality that it doesn't overpower other characters that are more in the background.

Glad you think so dude! 💖 The close ups always take a while to edit but they're one of my favorite bits to do 😊

The October drawing is sending my brain whirring about to possibly make an au based on your Halloween designs for the boys lol Like maybe Virgil’s a scarecrow brought to life Oz-style (possibly by Janus, but who knows), Roman and Remus are middle-aged, but Roman’s a vampire so he looks younger than Remus, and Remus is a pirate who sometimes visits to hide from authorities, Janus is a psychic that deals with ghosts (Oh my god okay Virgil lived with Janus, Virgil died somehow, and Janus tried to bring him to life by connecting his soul to a scarecrow yesyes it’s all coming together *Kronk face of satisfaction),* Logan is a wizard/alchemist (maybe helped Janus?? Who knows?), and Patton is either a normal human who’s the dad friend, or he’s a werewolf dad friend and likes dressing in wolf clothing for the fun of it. {Edit: Noticed the shadowy figure of the mysterious orange side in the window after making the comment, so I’d like to add that Mr. Orange is prolly a ghost in the house. Super aloof, and intentions are rarely ever known. Are they malicious? Bored? Good-natured? A demon? Who knows? Janus can’t talk to them all that well, but they seem to be drawn to Logan and Patton somewhat, but mostly to Logan. They usually communicate by throwing around oranges and leaving everyone to guess what they mean depending on context.} Y’all I am so tempted to write out a fic. Alex, look at what your artistic skills have done (not that I’m complaining tho, your art is very neat, and these two pieces look absolutely amazing)

Tell me when to read this

This makes me want to buy this calendar. In March. _When I already have a calendar but it's crochet related._ My favourites in October are definitely Logan and Remus, but June has to be Janus - they're so cool!! I applaud the effort of this, you did such an amazing job!!

I’ve never watched any of Sanders Sides, but as always your art is gorgeous!! I love all the little details in these designs and the Halloween background, and your colors are amazing. Watching your art always makes me feel inspired!

I'm so glad you've been able to do so much work with Thomas!

Ohmygosh I’ve been taking a costume design class in at my college and it is SO COOL to hear you ramble about design stuff now that I’ve been having to think about that a lot more in depth… I LOVE YOUR CHARACTER DESIGNS SO MUCH!!!

Ahhh I love these so much, I can't even Imagine the amount of practice and effort that went into these masterpieces. Glad you got June and October though, they just show a good amount of you

this was posted at the most ironic time im literally doing art project and one the artists i choose to do research on just happens to be you

Will you ever share with us what brushes you use? I’m intrigued

i think he mentioned using darker pencil (old default csp brush) for sketching but he definitely uses the real g-pen for inking cuz i recognise it

Aye! I was looking at Janis and thought "Oh wow, he looks like a cute patch work version of Medusa" and then I heard the small mention of Soul Eater and was really happy. That's such a fitting costume for him, so incredibly perfect. Really goes well with his character concept and scales he always has near him. 10/10 loved these pieces

"I was gonna make Remus a clown but it ended up looking too similar to his original costume" THE SHADE 💀

ngl thought Remus was wearing a binder in the june piece ... got really excited about nonbinary Remus for a moment, but the outfit still fits :)

I like to imagine the silhouette in the haunted house is Thomas himself watching the sides to make sure they aren't being *too* chaotic and are getting along Like ultimate mother henning "REMUS! GIVE JANUS HIS CANDY BACK! LOGAN, DONT GO TOO HIGH! YOU MIGHT FALL! ROMAN STOP RUNNING IN HEELS!"

A L E X! Something about speed paints always make me love a piece of art a little more. I could already tell how much love and care went into each piece when I received my calendar, but seeing the process just... *chefs kiss* You're incredible, wonderful human ^-^

This is such a cool speed paint. I found Sanders Sides through you so I just wanted to say thanks! And that I think your art is so cool!!

I clicked on this so fast- I was so excited honestly. I found your channel through your very first Sanders Sides speedpaint. (Before I knew what it was, I discovered it after I discovered you. Weird right?) And have been following since. This was such a fun video to watch. The drawings came out so good and I wish that I could have gotten the calendar

Paralaxing for the glamour shots?! That RULES!!

This was such a pleasure to watch- Alex’s art style and character design and dynamic is LITERAL EYE CANDY!!! It is never too late to celebrate pride ;3

Perfect timing! I can't sleep!

I am in love with Logan's costume! I DREAM to have the amount of class and sophistication he pulls of!

"So how much color do we want in the June illustration?" Alex: *yes*

I haven’t watched the video yet but the Janus in the thumbnail is just MMMMM 💛🖤💚

I AM IN LOVE WITH THE DESIGNS, Like they could totally wear this canonically Imma describe each of them because they look awesome: Virgil - Looks so good with the combo of the kilt and pants. Its so edgy and fits the character so well. Logan - A secretary. I almost thought from the chibi that he looks like a woman XD. Patton - Dad going back to his younger days. Its the shorts that makes it feel that way. Remus - A gym instructor that will make you exercise to death. Janus - My favorite out of the all. looks such a sassy Aunt I love it.

ooooooooh! sanders sides!. i love how you design characters and costumes, really inspirers me to get better at it.

Me the entire time you inked Patton: *THE HEART BELT-*

i find it so hilarious that, due to composition not demanding it, error 404 left remus leg not found in the pride one. I always love seeing that in digital composition because it emphasizes something thats already hilarious in physical artwork

I finally got my Sanders sides calendar like, last week and I was so happy to see some of your art in it, I really love your stuff :>

I never noticed the Janus hand in the October page coming for Remus, but I love that little touch so much. Especially since Jay looks so calm but you can tell by the hand he's about to whoop some ass XD Honestly though, all these pieces are amazing and I love the details! These are some of my favorite months, though I'm in love with May and September on the calendar~!

i discovered Sanders sides thanks to you the second time you drew them, and even though i was struggling a little with english at the time, i watched it all ! I already loved your artwork and i knew i wouldn't regret watching what you recommended. And now here you are ! i'm so glad you could participate to this calendar and your art is stunning. Also side note (no joke intended) but i love the way you draw feet. Yeah weird note but i draw a little and im just baffled by the simplicity it takes you to draw such elegant feet. As weird as this note is imma finish it here, have a great day/night !

I do wanna say, seeing your creative process and hearing you talk about character/costume/background design is always incredibly fascinating! I love the way you approach big pieces like this and how cohesive they feel in the end. I was absolutely blown away by the amount of dedication to detail in both of these!!! You're an amazing artist and a big inspiration for me so thank you for sharing your art and a little insight on how it came to be! I hope you have a wonderful day and I wish you the best for upcoming projects!

Patton’s Fanny pack is a bag of holding that holds a lot Crofters jam

I really doubt you’ll see this, but I wanted to say for a while just how happy I am for you. From you redrawing the characters last year to now working with Thomas with this and Roleslaying with Roman. I have to say I am so glad you get to work with him and honestly so proud.

Why am I not surprised you grabbed October 😂 both pieces are amazing as alway!

I like in the October one, Logan is just breaking science by flying on a broom. Also, i LOVE Remus’ Halloween costume! Its PERFECT!

jealous of his character design skills 😭

Your art style is also so cute

I love how in the October art you have one of Januses arms reaching for Remus with the vibe of come here you little sh-

Lets goooo!

“straight laced but not straight oriented” god i love that so much

Janus with a sun hat and fan was not something I knew I needed

Logan would totally have one imperfection that is a FULL BLOWN HALLOWEEN OBSESSION

JANICE'S OUTFIT IN JUNE IS SUCH GENDER ENVY AS A GENDERFLUID PERSON I'M DYING!!!!

all i can think of when I look at the october photo is Virgil helping Patton rip his jeans ~ a e s t h e t i c a l l y ~

I love it and I love your videos

I am a simple human: I see colours, I'm happy - I see kitten, I like. Btw I'm working on a very detailed digital drawing at the moment and you inspired me to change the outlines again. I really struggle to find a way to draw hair (and leaves) because I like more detailed styles but also simpler/blockier styles (like you use). The first looks too much fast and the second looks empty fast, but you make it look so good, I still wanna try that for my style. I thank you for inspiring me once again!

I don't know anything about Sanders Sides but these drawings are so *chefs kiss *. I can't believe you got both June AND October! Absolutely legendary Edit: Alex, you made me get into Sanders Sides. I've watched the whole series over the past 3 days. It was hilarious and heartfelt and I love it. Thanks for giving me the final push to get into a series I've been hearing about for years. :)

Yes!! I love seeing the sides on your style!, remember the fanarts you did before and of course the animatic. (Also your artworks are beautiful no matter what character you draw of course)

I am in love with your style and I really hope I am able to refine my own soon! Your videos are just so fun to watch! The actual sources, the art, the voiceover! Thank you for blessing our eyes and ears with this relatable comfort content!

I've never watched Sanders Sides, but I really appreciate you giving Scarecrow Virgil a dump truck ass
