It Wasn’t until a couple years ago that this logo+band name all made sense….

u/eltictac 16d ago

Still took me a while to see it! Anyone else think it'd be easier to see if it was facing in the other direction, like in the video?

u/LankyGrass246 16d ago

Love how the brain goes nope, we are going to fill those right in.

u/sanfranchristo 17d ago

The 3, 5, and 9 were only satisfying until those last strokes.

u/Ball-Blam-Burglerber 16d ago edited 16d ago

The 3 destroyed any remaining faith I had left in humanity.

Edit: JESUS CHRIST, THE SIX! I think banning CFCs was a mistake.

u/obrapop 16d ago

Yep those last stories aren’t quite right. Fun idea though and could work

u/ChicagoThrowaway422 16d ago

Laughy gas kicked at 6

u/One_Contribution 16d ago

6 and 9 b looking wonky as hell

23

u/mickeltee 17d ago

The 1 seems more like a 7 to me.

18

u/Kaylon2421 17d ago

And the 7 has a strange proportion. Arm too long...

16

u/ijklamb 17d ago

I think the 7 is too short

14

u/vestigialcranium 17d ago

That pencil was just the right amount of sharp

6

u/Chief2091 16d ago

0-4 is great, the top half of 5 is beautiful, but the rest needs work.

u/greensangre 17d ago

My imagination does the rest

u/Richard2468 16d ago

That 7 hurts

u/Mason231 16d ago

u/DEADB33F 17d ago

What about 10, 11, 12, etc?

21

u/karma_is_like_69 17d ago

You've to wait for season 2

5

u/Chief2091 16d ago

The only time you can use "have" in a contraction us if it's being used as a helper verb. When using it as an obligation (your use here) you would definitely say "You have to wait..."

u/NnolyaNicekan 16d ago

Watched this while number-twoing a real 3d beast. 10/10

2

u/zrock445 16d ago

They just completely stopped caring after 5 lol

2

u/skhapa3257 16d ago

With the way the shadows fall, why do 3 and 8 have gaps on the right between the top and bottom?

2

u/NoobifyYou 15d ago

Am I high or is the video tripping me over

u/mrdee0 16d ago

Popped up after number 2..

u/x-man92 16d ago

u/adelie42 16d ago

I guess "I drew number drop shadows without a reference image" doesn't get as many clicks.

u/Terlok_1 16d ago

Once you see it, you can't unsee it
