Hey Everyone Look At This Drawing Of My Own Original Character is a November 2022 vent comic by Twitter cartoonist @bluebottleflyer showing an artist trying to display an OC to a Twitter crowd fixated on memes and NSFW fanart. After heavy backlash and a wave of redraws, it settled into an exploitable format mocking artists who chase engagement.

Overview

The comic shows a cartoonist holding up his original character to a crowd meant to represent Twitter users, who ignore him in favor of memes, gossip, trends and NSFW art, until he tears the OC drawing to pieces and walks off1. The four-panel format became a shorthand for artist frustration with engagement dynamics on Twitter3. Its most recognizable beats are the wall of blank, expressive audience faces and the final panel of the artist ripping his own OC apart1.

How It Spread

The backlash pushed @bluebottleflyer to post "Taking a break from here for a while" on November 2nd, 2022, which some fans defended as an unfair pile-on2. On November 3rd, Twitter user @Yiszy1 posted an edit reframing the comic around uplifting small artists, which pulled over 24,000 likes in a week4. The same day, @GENC____ quote-tweeted the original with a redraw and the challenge "draw this in your style!", racking up 13,000 likes5.

Other edits leaned darker or absurd: Twitter user @_rawrell photoshopped the artist as Hitler being rejected from art school, and Newgrounds user GENCER redrew the artist as Leonardo da Vinci3. On November 5th, muscle-girl artist @Cheekie_ quote-tweeted the original with a version tied to her own niche fetish audience, gathering over 11,000 likes in five days6. The comic settled into an exploitable used for both sincere gripes about ignored effort and shitposts about oversensitive artists.

How to Use This Meme

The typical edit keeps the four-panel structure and the crowd of dismissive faces, swapping either the OC being shown, the "lower effort" content the crowd is enjoying, or the artist himself. A common convention is the quote-tweet redraw in a personal art style, often paired with the caption "draw this in your style!" popularized by @GENC____5.
