Watching the bttf movies for the first time as a r&m fan was so fun, it was like watching a r&m live-action movie

The Fifth of November, 1955

Remember, remember the Fifth of November, The scientist hanging a clock, Who knew on that date, That fortune and fate, Would reveal so much more to the Doc. Doc Brown, Doc Brown, he did invent Such objects of folly, with good intent, He tumbled and fell in his lavatory But soon after took to his lab'ratory For though he'd been woefully injur'ed A vision unfurled in his bruis'ed head Great Scott! Great Scott! From this disaster Great Scott! Great Scott! The Flux Capac'tor! And what did he do with it? Build it!

Yo J ! Do you think you can draw Marty & Jennifer walking through a graveyard fearfully linking their arms tightly with each other on their way home from staying late at school ? Spooky season is upon us ! So I thought I might as well give a chilling drawing idea 👻

“Do you ever feel like you’re being haunted?” “All the time, Jen. All the time.”

Hope you don’t mind me taking a few creative liberties with this prompt haha 😅. Finally had the motivation to draw again after so long just in time for the spooky season. Some people say that their past haunts them- Marty is starting to wonder if it actually can. I mean, everyone in the old west assumed he was dead after all. Can you haunt yourself? Time travel is confusing…

Anyway yeah, just a little higher effort thingy for this lovely ask! I swear I’ve wanted to do this for ages but life just loves to get in the way of everything lmao. Hope you enjoy this either way!

Didn’t draw anything for BTTF day but uh- finished this late so have at thee

Back at it again at the Krispy Kreme- 

Hey J!

Because it’s Halloween I had a good request idea…what if we drew The Headless Horseman chasing Marty on a horse in 1820?

(sorry I was rewriting the story, The Legend of Sleepy Hollow)

just a request

I apologize for the time it took to get this done but I couldn’t just doodle this idea. No no no, I had to do a little more…

Just a quick trip to 1820, they said. The Headless Horseman isn’t real, they said. After this trip, Marty would argue otherwise…

Okay no but actually I meant to do this ask a whole lot sooner because it’s so good but ofc I couldn’t just leave it at a sketch lol. I am. So damn proud of this silly thing. From the horse, to the rendering, to all the small details, I am so incredibly proud of this Halloween piece. It might have taken a week longer than intended because of rehearsals and my seeing Beetlejuice the Musical (10/10 btw) but I have done it! Hopefully I can get back to silly sketches now I say, pointedly ignoring the other full out piece sitting in my program.

Anyway, I hope I did your idea justice! Thanks for the amazing little spooky idea

Heyo ! Your Docpocalypse AU seems interesting haha Can we see more of Jennifer but now she's as dishevelled as Marty

How about a two for one deal? Jennifer has smartly gone to retrieve backup once she felt the fatigue begin to set in. Oh Clara, you have no clue what you’re about to find at the garage…

The Docpocalypse continues! Finally! I’ve had one hell of a week between auditions for a play, callbacks, the cast list, my art getting stolen, and getting that Gatsby piece in on time- BUT FEAR NOT! I see your asks everyone and I intend to draw them! Ofc, like always, keep sending your silly ideas guys! They keep me sane, whether it be by giving me smth to draw or just ramble abt lol

Hiya J!

I'm obsessed with your Docpocalypse AU, its so hilarious!

Could we see Jennifer getting dragged into this, seeing all the Docs and a very tired Marty? :D

Heyo!!! So glad you’re enjoying this stupid au! Apologies for the lack of color, but this weekend got stupidly busy for me for some reason. Anyway, let’s drag Jen into this mess!!

Buckle up, Jennifer, because this ride just gets wilder with every passing minute!

Alright J I hate to ask but,

I just love the fact Marty is getting NO sleep with those Docs around

Sorry that I want to see more, but really there SO GOOD!!

(p.s maybe Marty could be ‘resting’ and something that the Doc’s did woke him up, something funny maybe, idk)

DO NOT APOLOGIZE!!!! HAVE YOU SEEN MY TAGS?? I LIVE FOR THE ENTHUSIASM!!

Also what a lovely idea! Oh Marty~!

Good luck fighting him on this one, Marty. He’s a dad now. He’s used to putting stubborn kids to bed. Not pictured (because I’m lazy and didn’t wanna pose that many ppl-) is 1931 Doc and 1955 Doc standing around a shattered beaker, multiple piles of flaming…something (paper, gel, idk), and a still lit Bunsen burner. You can kinda guess what happened from there-

Transcriptions and more silly under the cut :)

*honk shooo Marty Sleeping Position.jpg*

CRASH!

Marty: What blew up? Who’s on fire?

Doc (present 1986): Everything is fine, Marty, now go lay back down- 😅

Marty: But you’re literally-

Doc: I know.

Marty: And-

Doc: Back to bed.

This will be the vicious cycle that will repeat at least twice more before Marty gets a decent amount of sleep (which is thanks to Einstein finding the chaos and laying with the poor kid like the amazing dog he is) And yes, 1986 present Doc is the best at getting the stubborn teen to sleep because of his acquired dad skills, but that doesn’t mean the other Emmetts aren’t just as capable. 1955 Doc has had to get Marty to sleep multiple times during his week there, 2015 Doc is no different, and 1931 Emmett literally let Marty sleep in during the game because he seemed really tired so what makes you think he won’t find a way to help his friend sleep?? Marty is going to rest whether he likes it or not. This is not a question, but a fact.

I’ve been playing with other characters in my mind as well, because it won’t just be Marty forever. I think Jennifer gets dragged in when they remember Marty’s parents, and she’s called in to come grab him. Speaking of George and Lorraine, either they don’t find out at all or, if they’ve figured out time travel, they do and it’s chaotic. (If you wanna see how I think them finding out would go, there’s a link to my fic on @squoosh-the-floof-writes It’s called The Truth About Time Travel do read it) Then ofc there’s Clara and the boys. Clara stumbles in first, which is nothing short of entertaining as she somehow manages to effortlessly contain the chaos (“I know how your brain works, Emmett. This is just that times four”) The boys don’t bump into all of them at first, but rather I think they meet 1931 Doc first which is just all sorts of funny. Anyway more to come from this

KEEP ASKING QUESTIONS AND GIVING YOUR THOUGHTS I LIVE FOR IT

okay, please do one more of the tired Marty and the group of Doc’s….PLEASE

Ask and you shall receive. I hope this silly thing shall suffice :)

Transcription and details under cut

The transcription for my terrible handwriting -

(@ the garage)

Doc: Marty! I came as soon as I-

Doc (cont.): -could.

Marty: Your turn.

(Arrows: Half Asleep, On Fire (literally), covered in soot)

(Fun fact! Not a single party of Marty’s current state (aside from the lack of sleep) is the Docs’ fault! Good ol’ McFly luck strikes again!)

THUD

Docs: MARTY!

So this came to me in a dream today and well it works so behold. This is about an hour after the initial phone call thanks to Jules and Verne asking many questions as Doc was trying to leave and he’d rather they not follow him this time. As for what I mean by the McFly luck- Marty and his ancestors are extremely unlucky. Let’s be honest. To some degree all of them have either directly been unlucky or had their choices result in mild to severe disaster. In this instance specifically it means while trying to move from point A to point B Marty fell half asleep, tripped, knocked a dustpan of ash onto himself, somehow lit himself on fire, and damn near collapsed onto the doorframe. Someone force this kid to take a nap. Please.

Marty Vs The Doc-pocalypse, Ep 1: The Phone Call

Not actually planning to do a ton of these doodle animatics but I couldn’t format this one into a comic in a way I liked so behold. Pause for individual slides.

I’ve decided that no one was around when the four different Docs dropped (literally) into the garage, but rather Marty was heading there to pick something up after school one day and walked into the absolute disaster that is four paranoid scientists both trying to avoid each other and study what’s going on. Cue a very confused and rather panicked phone call to the Brown Family Farm (and the Doc from his current time) in which Marty gives both himself and Doc a heart attack. What fun!

Also yes, the box Doc is holding and looking through says “Explosive! (Probably)”

Text transcription and little note under the cut :)

RING X4

*click*

Marty: Heyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy Doc!

Doc: Marty! What’s up Kid?

Marty: Yeah, so, uh- What’s that super dangerous thing when multiple of you from different times run into each other again?

Doc: You mean a paradox?

Marty: I appreciate your understanding, Doc, but I think we’re-

CRASH

Marty (cont.): -beyond that.

Doc: WHAT?!

Marty: I said- We’re well beyond a pair-a-yous (Pair-a-Docs) at this point…

Side note, @mythical-bookworm nice joke in your pinned comic. Hope you don’t mind me stealing it for this stupid thing. I was just too good to pass up-

I have an odd feeling this is actually going to end up being a whole au now. Shoot.

I agree. I also think Marty should be suspended in the air by a group hug from versions of his 6ft best friend :)

Also he can’t run from sleep forever. It will catch up eventually, even if it is mid group hug

Marty McFly VS The Doc-pocalypse or smth like that idk

I put way too much effort into what was supposed to be a stupid doodle so uh. Have this Tumblr. I really don’t have a better explanation for this other than I got two more Doc Pop! Figures today, which leaves me with a growing army of 3 Docs and one singular Marty, and I keep laughing every time I look at them in my display case so here we have Marty dealing with multiple Docs from different times that have all somehow ended up in the garage in 1986. Four dimensional thinking has never been his strong suit, and trying to figure this out is not helping. He’s got two hours of sleep, a bajillion positive encouraging post-it notes from the Doc of the present telling him to sleep, hot chocolate, and four very enthusiastic Emmetts crowding the lab. Send help. And caffeine. And maybe Clara cause he’s not so sure he can keep them from blowing something up for much longer.

Picture of the inspiration under the cut :)

Behold, my growing Doc army and my one single Marty McFly left to deal with them

At least Marty has his tunes. That might help him stay a little sane

I call this: Let Marty McFly Break the Fourth Wall.

Based on a random thought I had at work today, I remembered how many times Marty looked dead at the crowd when I saw the musical and decided he should be able to do that once in the film. After much thought, I decided the best time for said moment would be right after the DeLorean test because c’mon- Doc drove a car at them at damn near 90 MPH without even knowing if it would work. Thats- that’s just a little crazy, don’t you think?

Marty’s internal monologue retyped below just in case you can’t/don’t want to read my atrocious handwriting :)

1. My God.

2. What did he take?!

3. (Same as 2, plus) This is Heavy

4. (Same as 3, plus) What did I agree to?

5. (Same as 4, plus) Have I gone insane?

6. Are You All seeing this shit? (He drove a car at us! WITHOUT knowing if it would WORK!!)

(Meanwhile in the background I wrote out Doc’s little “What did I tell you? 88 Miles Per Hour!” Cause I didn’t know if I could get the audio)

No because actually- I saw it a few days ago and tell me how they made Doc somehow radiate MORE Dad/Guardian figure vibes with Marty than the movie already did

This was a real moment from the Back to the Future Musical Tour and it made me lose my mind

A portrait of a boy torn appart by time itself

Marty McFly: the World’s First Human Time Traveler

(Rambles and alt-colors under cut)

For as long as I’ve loved Back to the Future, I’ve never done any art for it. Is part of the reason for that Marty’s dang hair and the fact that I could never get it right? Maybe. But! In light of me getting tickets to go and see the BTTF Musical on tour with my (equally as big of a nerd) father, I was hit with a vision and just had to draw it. So here we are, the boy torn by time himself, Marty “The World’s Coolest Loser” McFly.

Honestly very proud of this piece. I learned how to fake holographics in a 2D piece, render lightning, and draw Marty’s stupid hair all in the span of creating it and I’m glad to say I now have those skills under my belt. Expect more BTTF alongside my recent Gatsby obsession and slowly returning LSOH adoration. See you in the future! 🎸⚡️⏰

Non B&W photo version and Plain Marty cause I’m proud:

Something something, @sparxymcfly​ inspired doodle.

There’s a WHAT now?

I see your... any thoughts on Back to the Future and I raise you: Marty McFly wearing an earring being canon because it's in the musical.
