Upside Down Character Drawing Challenge 

JACOB DEMANDS RESPECT

the fact that julia can whip out an upside down chris hemsworth but would die drawing accurate bobby hill 😭

As an Australian, thank you for making a drawing I can properly see

In Nathan's defense in most backstories Shaggy is a varsity gymnast, and in some they go so far as to say he tried out for the olympics. Also in the first episode of Scooby Doo they show that he has enough of vertical leap to get into a second story window, add onto that the fact that he run at the speed of a great dane, about 20-35mph and he can maintain that speed while carrying Scooby and/or Velma, I think it would be fair to say that Shaggy should be pretty fit, like maybe not completely jacked, but at least pretty shredded.

Jacob: "I demand respect!" Karina: *hysterically busts out laughing* 😂😂😂

Astarion only turns into a bat if you completely disregard his mental health.

Nathan becoming more and more passionate about how jacked Shaggy SHOULD be is having me CRYING

I’m realizing I may have accidentally Pavloved myself into craving drawing while watching Drawfee videos. I feel like a Sim that has the inspired moodlet pop up.

I'm with Nathan. If you were regularly bridal carrying a great dane, you'd be ripped.

"Why does flipping them make them look so sad?" I suppose it's the opposite of turning a frown upside down.

I respect jacob so much for quitting after finding out claude was straight

Fun fact: Shaggy is actually canonically Vegetarian as per the request of his longtime voice actor Casey Kasem!

Can't believe Drawfee didn't leave anyone out so I couldn't make a joke.

Per the fanfic math discussion, I did a data analysis project on this during college! My data-set of ~6 million works from AO3 had an average word count of 7006.6. I'll use the number of English works tagged with Astarion on AO3 used in the video: 14,673. And from my google search, the average silent adult reads fiction at 260 wpm. Using those numbers, it would take ~395,414 hours, which amounts to ~16,475 days and ~45 years of only reading.

i know fanfiction writers commit hard but the fact that there's an astarion fanfiction that is almost a million words long is so crazy to be hit with in the middle of a drawfee episode

God the fact that Astarion genuinely does look like a young Barbie Preminger is fantastic.

listen sometimes you realize “hey that’s a math problem I can totally solve” and then you just have to spend five to ten minutes doing math. it happens

Stepping in as somebody with a large dog, who sometimes has to carry him home on walks because he's naughty. That shit IS a workout for your arms and also your pecs.

I would like to point out that Jacob's quest to read every Asarion fic on ao3 would be even longer, because while he's learning every language, and reading all the current ones, people are writing even more. His quest will only end once people forget Baldy's Gate 3 exists.

14:43 Jacob saying he stopped playing Fire Emblem 3 bc the archer guy isn't bisexual is so iconic. Happy pride month lmao

I love how they just refer to their fans as 'chat' no matter what platform they're on

I mean, there's an episode of Scooby Doo where a taxidermy gorilla falls on Shaggy, and in his panic, he literally rips it to SHREADS, so I'm all for him being buff AF.

this is how my life got flipped turned upside down

Sprinting is a surprisingly effective muscle builder. Shaggy does a lot of sprinting, sometimes with big dog in his arms. Seems to me like he'd be kinda jacked

When they said on stream that an episode with math and one with Asterion would come out in the following months, I'd never imagined it being the same 😂

nathan passionately defending buff shaggy is something i didnt know i lacked in life lmaoo

Sometimes the solution in Ace Attorney is legitimately "flip the evidence upside down", so this all tracks

Nathan's Asterion looks like if you tried to recreate him as a halfling.

Did not expect to hear the Yaffe Hard Stance of "Shaggy MUST be jacked"

Shaggy would be SO JACKED. Smh can't believe people fought so hard against Nathan on this

I love that Nathan's Astarion looks like Bilbo Baggins as played by Anakin Skywalker.

Just to validate Nathan, it is stated in several iterations of shaggy that he actually is the most athletic of the group, and he's actually pretty strong in tandem with being lithe

"Aren't you satisfied with thunderous thighs?" "... No." 🤣🤣🤣

NATHAN IS RIGHT ABOUT JACKED SHAGGY, i lift dogs into bathtubs semi-regularly at my job and it’s built more muscle over the past year than like three years of consistently working out lmao

1:47 Jacob saying "I demand respect!" and Karina bursting out laughing is just peak Drawfee

I am DYING at how upside-down Astarian turned right-side up is just young Peter Falk... Like, that's a PERFECT "Columbo if he turned into a vampire"

You are SO RIGHT for knowing Claude should've been canonically bisexual. Give this man a million dollars!!

Nathan: I HEARD SHAGGY ROGERS HAS AN EIGHT PACK NATHAN: THAT SHAGGY ROGERS IS SHREDDED

jacob: i demand respect! karina: *cackles*

I was undoing my hair and not watching the video but listening to the bat argument and apparently completely forgot about the concept for the video because when I looked back I was confused why it was upside down

no he screams “bat!” like what we do in the shadows

For context on that 907,000 word Astarion fanfic, Les Miserables (a 1200 page book) is ~500,000 words.

¡ǝposıdǝ ǝǝɟʍɐɹp ʍǝu ɐ ¡ʎoq ɥo

Nathan correcting Julia about Astarion being a half elf instead of an elf when Astarion is actually a High Elf.......

karina has drawn apollo so much that she really can draw him upside down and be 93% accurate

Calling out for chat on recorded episodes is my favourite new bit

When I was a kid I would write Fan Fictions. I really enjoyed it but writing in other established worlds wasn’t doing it for me. So when I was like 13 I created my OWN fantasy world and write Fan Fiction about that world to this day. My friends and loved ones tell me “that’s just called writing.” To which I say NAY! This is FAN FICTION!

I would listen to an entire episode of Julia and Karina just talking about fanfic metrics.

Favorite short fanfic I saw on tumblr: Marcille x male reader: She leaves you for a woman

“I can look at a fandom and tell who I will probably like” Karina was so real for this.

Jacob saying, "I demand respect!" to immediate laughter is the most real thing to ever happen on Drawfee.

"The Drawfee Kinsey Scale" made me laugh so hard I started coughing 😂😂

Astarion does turn into a bat, but only in the epilogue, and only if a certain story choice is made. Astarion is also a High elf, not a half elf, so he basically was a child in elf years when he was turmed.

Shaggy not only lifts scooby like a beautiful and loving wife, but indeed runs with him held as such nearly every episode. It is shaggy’s RIGHT to be buff, and it’s sad that you still deny him so, Drawfee.

"My name is Nathan's Astarion, and I graduated from one of Faerûns top mage schools with really good grades. Now, I'm using my knowledge to help struggling small dungeon masters make it in this competitive world. This is Nathan's Astarion for You."

Me over here being like, "alright Jacob lift Nathan with just your legs and tell me your arms don't hurt after youre running holding him with just your arms." Lol

If there were a version of Baldur's Gate 3 that was just interacting with your team without any leveling system or combat, I'm pretty sure Karina would lose her life over it. We would never see or hear from her again

When Drawfee Games finally produces Educational Duck Armageddon, I am not looking forward to calculating the average length and approximate reading time of various fan fics.

I can’t believe Julia is divorcing Jacob so she can marry Karlach

I actually appreciate how they covered the full range from 2D cartoon human to actual real life human in one challenge! Fun to see how the same thing affects different styles

I can’t believe the crew held Nathan upside down like one of those marching band quint players

As a Filipino (might not resonate with others, but this is for me and my close circle of people), it's wild to hear them regard being 5'7" as being short 😂

Astarion can only turn into a bat if you go the evil route in his quest and he ascends.

I kind of hate how much I love Astarion because he's the most stereotypical fanservice bait but he also happens to be one of the best written and performed characters in video game history.

I love the idea of astarion just casually standing on the ceiling

Taking psychic damage from 5’7” being short. Cries in very tiny king.

Omg, now that Astarion has been mentioned, we can now demand Neil Newbon on drawfee!!

I could tell Julia's Chris Hemsworth was going to look like Arthur the second she drew the nose and the sad eyes. I'd recognize my husband anywhere

1:46 Jacob: “I demand respect!” Karina: *uncontrollable laughter* Jacob and Karina’s dynamic in a nutshell

I mean, that dog is moving around and wiggling and shit, Shaggy would have to engaged all muscle groups just to keep Scoobie stable in his arms. Shaggy should absolutely be super jacked!

Was watching this on my phone while lying down and semi-conscious, and on multiple occasions tried to get my phone to flip back to “normal” rather than upside down

Love the Malcolm in the Middle talk. It's one of my favorite shows, and my one of my favorite episodes is where they let Reese cook.

Upside down Astarion has keebler elf energy to me lmao

Karina talking about fanfiction on AO3 is so hilarious “this next one has 500,000 words… [long pause] …and it’s in Chinese.”

Love Julia continuing to do the math on how long it would take to read all the Astarian fics on AO3. Good bit and also i was interested in the answer.

Imagine if AO3 sponsored them someday for no reason

1.7-1.9 meters is a wild range to give for someone's height.

nah im with nathan, maybe if shaggy was just picking scoob up and immediately putting him back down it wouldnt affect his arms but hes holding that ~150lbs dog in his arms over a prolonged period while he runs, that would definitely work his arm muscles :/

23:09 Jacob: "this is exactly what i wanted to happen. I wanted struggle, i wanted strife" Nathan: "cloud?" I dont know if they simply didnt hear him or what not, but that joke was criminally underappreciated

Astarion in the Middle is where mine and my boyfriend's humour collides

Lmao on the Buffy question, Angel lost his soul in season 2 when he climaxed so he turned back into Angelus which is technically his "evil" soulless vampire form

27:08 You joke, Julia, but having a lot of inside jokes that the viewer becomes familiarised with is an excellent way to strengthen the bond between audience and creators. I mean just look at the comments on any given episode/stream. This is great for supportive communities but sadly it's kinda also how cults work. I guess what I'm trying to say is Drawfee Religion when? Also David that wee edit at 27:25 which popped up as I was typing this almost made me delete the whole thing on accident. 10/10 as usual.

Drawfee Crew Powers and Abilities: •Nathan: sweet boy powers, inspires the irresistible urge to protect, can draw animals without reference, keeper of the dinosaur lies -Alignment: looks like a cinnamon roll, is actually a cinnamon roll -Catchphrase: "oh, sure." •Jacob: taunting, arbitrary obstinace stance, gots fine crispy inks, enemy of sheep, fueld by yogi -Alignment: looks like they could kill you, is actually a cinnamon roll -Catchphrase: "It's Nuesday baby!" •Karina: cool cat/computer lab energy, good anatomy and posing skills, casually threatens violence, is hiding a knife/will cut you. -Alignment: looks like they will kill you, will actually kill you -Catchphrase: "Draaaygiiins!" Julia: monster mama, summons room full of vampires, draws a mighty nice background, eldrich being with an upsetting number of eyes, probably right behind you. -Alignment: looks like they could kill, could actually kill you. -Catchphrase: "We live in a society."

Tried to turn my head upside down while watching this and got the best neck crack I’ve had in a while, thanks drawfee!

Nathan's Asterion just looks like an evil Scanlan Shorthalt

I'm with Nathan. You are all underestimating the raw power Shaggy holds. It just tracks that he should be buff.

Now i need a Animorphs' cover of a guy turning in to a bat but from an after glow pose next to a disappointed partner.

"We're not gonna make you draw a realistic human upside-down, that'd be ridiculous!" "Anyways, draw Astarion"

I can’t believe they all hung upside this entire video. True legends.

Oh, egads! My portrait is ruined. But what if I were to draw a normal picture and disguise it as my own flipped canvas? Ho ho, delightfully devilish, Nathan.

I can't believe Julia descended from her place in the primordial chaos beyond time and space to do a drawfee episode

Karina does indeed stand broken men... she doesn't know how broken Dimitri gets.

18:45 > "Between 1.7m and 1.9m" > 170cm is 5'7 > 190cm is 6'3 > "He's 5'7" ... Well that's a *short*cut

18:00 i love when karina gets excited and makes roach noises

the astarion pronunciation is killing me 😭😭 also hes a high elf so he _really_ hasnt lived that long

35:48 The boys talk about beef in unison once again, which is a weird theme but I'm here for it.

I will say, typically Shaggy doesnt LIFT Scooby. Usually Scooby leaps into his arms and he catches him

25:20 now i need that twilight scene where edward responds "wait that's a good question" and then does math for like 5 hours in a forest

Upside down! Drawing off the ceiling! Inside out! Stranger to this feeling!

Sorry Karina i have to agree with Nathan. Shaggy was the jock of the group, he's the best a gym and did track and field. He ate every and any food and could reliably lift Fred. Fred had the show muscles, having done wrestling and other sports, Shaggy had the usable all around musculature of a man who uses it.
