Gatorbox (of Crayons) is a miniseries of Gatorbox and was streamed as the "First Friday" feature of each month from 2021 to 2023, a place formerly reserved for Fanfiction Factory. In this show Draco sketches out replacement cover art for games in his collection that he doesn't have boxes for. It has gradually evolved over time into being more of a "video game fan art" stream with Draco taking requests and ideas from viewers regarding what he should draw both for the game and the content relating to it.

One of the show's most prominent recurring jokes is how the artwork for every single game features a "T" rating from the ESRB where the "T" stands for something from the game itself (Treasure, Teamwork, Tales, Tentacles, etc).

History

The idea for the series came about after viewer Ghost of Cerberus sent Draco several Nintendo Switch cartridges during a GatorUNbox Viewer Mail segment. Since Switch games are small and easy to lose Draco ordered some empty cases online and placed the games inside, however rather than buy or print out replacement case covers he saw an opportunity to do something unique on stream. The first episode of Gatorbox (of Crayons) saw Draco create cover art for Minecraft and given the projects fair reception he decided to bring it back the following month. Since then he has gone with the guidance of the stream chat to create cover art for Nintendo DS, PlayStation 2, and games for other consoles.

Following the conclusion of the 2023 season, Gatorbox (of Crayons) ended its run as the first Friday feature of every month. It was replaced by Blood, Sweat, & Tiers.
