Like I did with chibis and commission, let's make a "2023 sketches drop". It will be only Hulk. Sometimes the the sketch is enough by itself, like the one below, sometimes it needs some quick context, that's why I don't make a gallery so I'm counting on you to not be too lazy and to scroll 'til the end!
The lil' sketch below is the oldest of the post, you can tell by Sam's nose, it wasn't stylized like now, it was BORING (which is a friendly reminder we aren't born with our artstyle, it evolves). Anyway, it was a paid request, someone sent me a ko-fi to made them kiss so I did.
That's the second part, the aftermath, also a request. Imagine it taking place months later when they started seeing each others to be enemies with benefit. For the context, Sam is sitting on Bruce's laps and he's annoying him, calling him a "good boy", I don't have that OG picture anymore but anyway (not that "making you shut up" means kiss in their language because of what happened above).
Was he serious, was he not? It's up to you.
Ok next, this one was made after Immortal Hulk. It's kinky, yes.
Ok this one was a redraw of a picture you might have seen already, it's often used for redraw but I could never find the source (nor find it back)
Another Sam & Bruce moment. Like I said, I imagine them as enemies with benefit. In the way that they both have restrain tensions they need to let go and can do that in each others' arms. Think about it, in Sam's arms Bruce is allowed to be destructive and to be the monster he never allows himself to express and in Bruce's arms Sam can be the human he tries to hide, fragile, insecured, weak but also affectionate and caring. Together they can be whole again. But in my imagination, Sam would be the first one to really have feeling for Bruce (I can argue he had feelings for him day one, thus the reason he hates him so much) and Bruce being Bruce, he would just reject his affection and attention in a self-defensive way (I mean, Sam is Sam too, Bruce knows best than trusting him).
Now I'm introducing a new character and a new ship I like, Mercy. In Thunderbolts, Sam lost his memories and his was a very kind, shy and insecured lad, looking for answers of who he was. He thought Mercy was an angel and Mercy was kind of taking care of him, protecting him, guiding him. I'll often mention it but I have a deep love/hate relationship with his Thunderbolts era, in the way that it's both one of Sam's best writing ever and also the worst (they changed the team in the middle of the run and IT SHOWS). So much good ideas wasted by a lazy writing from people who didn't bother opening his wikipedia page and turned him into a grotesque greedy villain cliche (and if one character doesn't give a single fuck about luxury, it's Sam). Poorly writing Sam is one thing and honestly I don't care that much about that, I ignore what I don't like in writings. But I'm just super sad because of how good the first half was for him and all that wasted developpment (fortunatly for me, it will be developped in Immortal Hulk, but still). And one of the thing I loved that got wasted was his very twisted relationship with Mercy. It had the potential to make something very good, they're both angel of Death but in an opposed way. Mercy kills suicidal people (and only them) in order to bring them peace (and when you know that, Sam FEARING her as the Leader takes a whole new meaning), even if they had this thought for like one second because they were in intense pain. Sam, in the other hand, bring the death and desperation she needs. I wanted to see more of them together.
Ok this one wasn't supposed to be horny but it is what it is. I just wanted to practice Sam's body shape and so I needed an excuse to make him shirtless, so have the aftermath of a fight with a Hulk.
I like to think of Sam as a cat, a black cat because of how cursed he is. That's it, it's no deeper than that.
It was born of this meme of Robert Downey JR and Chris Hemsworth with their kids at beach. Bruce and his son Skaar and Sam and his supposedly son Superior (he didn't pick the name, if it was him I'm pretty sure his kid would be named Samuel 2 or something related to his egocentrical ass specifically and something about his son's). Sam doesn't know he has a son apparently, or he doesn't care. Both case are odd to me because Sam knows pretty much everything so he would know if he had a son and given his loneliness complex and his need to create "families" I don't think he wouldn't care. So I like to think Superior is rather a failed clone he rejected and not a "son" so to speak, would explain Superior's virulent hatred toward Sam. He was in a Runaway comics and we probably won't see him ever again anyway but I like giving sense to huge plot holes.
just some stuff I never finished for a reason or another
From time to time I get anonymous question on my Tumblr and when I can I answer through doodle. These are sadly quite rare because my visibility on Tumblr is near zero so I love it a lot when it happens. Sam and Bruce "canonically" (then again it depends on the writer) have the same height (1m78) but you need to take into consideration that it's Sam's height under his gamma form, meaning he's way smaller than that. I don't think he's 1m50, it was mostly a troll, to me he's no taller than 1m60 tho, between 1m55 and 1m60.
I think Sam is more likely to hate on Red Hulk, not necessarly out of spite but just because he's a hater. Future Lirhya from 2025 : Captain America Brave New World made this even more relevant and I'm here for that lol
I have a lot of very useless headcanons, like Sam being a tea person and Bruce a coffee person, Sam being a black cat and Bruce a golden retriever, this kind of stuff. And so Sam would be strawberry while Bruce would chocolate, so Samuce is Strawberry chocolate and so that would be their fav flavour. It's uselessly complicated.
It's how I imagine Sam's reaction to this. (And yes, according to Thunderbolts Sam's middle name is Benjamin)
It was initially this meme, thus the specific childish artstyle, but idk, it was funnier this way. (not relevant tho 'cause Sam is canonically very, very, very good at writing, Master lvl)
It was a request, the famous makeup meme
Whatever happened after that is up to you. Excuse the typo but in French "literally" is "littéralement" so it took me YEARS to properly type it in English lol
And last but not least, Bruce's reaction to Captain America New World Order cast :
