Hey everyone! It's your favorite and flakiest artist, back again on Steemit with the world's most obscure fanart.

To explain, my favorite book is called John Dies At The End by David Wong. It's currently a trilogy — the second book is called This Book Is Full Of Spiders, and the newest book, which I just read, is called What The Hell Did I Just Read. Which all should give you a good indication of the sense of humor the author has.

(Also, John doesn't die in the end, he dies near the beginning and then again in the newest book, but these books are so fucking bonkers that that's not even a spoiler.)

These books are basically about the adventures of 3 white-trash millennial supernatural investigators/monster hunters who also deal with life problems like depression, drug addiction, poverty, etc. so while it's funny and scary and full of crude jokes, it's also pretty deep too.

At the top is Amy Sullivan, who is very sweet and the Heart™ of the team and only has one hand. In the middle is John, who is a complete nonsense rowdy guy who goes around causing chaos, and at the bottom is Dave, who's sarcastic, depressed, and hates everything. I love all of them.

They made a movie out of this book which wasn't great, but then again, it's a really hard book to adapt. But I mentioned to my coworker earlier this week how this series would be great as an anime/animated series, which is why I decided to draw this. Netflix, do your thing.
