Within Adventure Time‘s Land of Ooo, one of our favorite locations is the tree fort that belongs to Finn the Human and Jake the Dog. It’s been glimpsed many times in the show, but now Finn and Jake’s iconic home has been recreated in painstaking detail in a newly released illustration.
Russian artist Max Degtyarev has shared his extensive recreation of Finn and Jake’s tree fort via his ArtStation page. And as you can see, it is truly a thing of beauty. Click on the image to get the full view!
Degtyarev told us that “once upon a time, I thought it would be great to draw a house of Finn and Jake from Adventure Time show in cut-away. Full of details, secrets and familiar characters walking around. Maybe someday it will evolve into a whole book.” He went on to explain that he used only the television show for reference. However, that created some problems because even the series hasn’t been completely consistent with its details. For example, Degtyarev shared the following comparison of Finn and Jake’s bedroom from the show and the final version that he went with.
“The visual style of Adventure Time assumes crazy distortions,” explained Degtyarev. “The same objects can be drawn differently according to scene. This is a very cool feature. Not only does it add dynamic and liveliness to the scenes, but it also greatly increases production time. Youâll never notice it [while]Â watching [the show] until you get tasked to make a detailed cut away illustration of Finn and Jakeâs house.”
Degtyarev also shared a few enticing closeups from his illustration, including Peppermint Butler’s cameo appearance in the Den.
There’s also a prison cell that Finn and Jake stopped using a long time ago, which sits empty and unused.
Just outside of the tree fort, a few water nymphs can also been seen in this pic.
