Designing One-chapter-use Outfits For The Crew Escalated Too Quickly. Cant Say I Wouldn’t Do It Again

first assortment of sketch commissions! (one of which was colored lol) thanks to everyone who threw money at me ^_^ the offer (as seen in this post) will stay open until the 28th of February so get em while you still can

2019 -> 2021 -> 2024 [now]

after a few years, I've finally updated the Escape Velocity crew's reference sheets ^_^ they feel much more real now.... possibly too real. I feel like domino is going to appear in my house and start asking me to buy beer

sometimes I feel a little discouraged about how long I've spent developing these characters without any comic pages to show for it, but I think in the end the extra time was really needed, and I'm really happy with how the crew look now :J and hopefully I can stop myself from making any more major changes.

bonus:

thought EV should have line stickers but this is the only one I came up with because it made me laugh really hard. this will be funny to you guys in a few years

giving additional context for some of these

3rd pic: So I have some very specific thoughts on how the "a better world" stuff all plays out but namely I don't think it was a.... painless or easy process trying to get bill out of both their dimension and ford's head. I think it's better if it's ambiguous

4th: more parallel ford including eye injury detail, he's in his 40's here

5th: okay now I'm really getting off the rails but please god bear with me. along the lines of "things probably didn't get easier right away if bill was still threatening parallel ford" I had this crazy 3 am thought of "oh man what if ford voluntarily had fiddleford erase something from his mind so he could come to terms with it Later when they weren't pressed for time." if the situation was dire enough for ford (say, leaving him unable to sleep or focus on protecting their dimension from bill) I think he could very well have been pushed to use the memory gun. then again maybe I'm insane

6: this is parallel fidds again sorry I'm obsessed with him helping ford build a fucking death ray to destroy bill

8: this has some dialogue I thought about when I was fleshing out jheselbraum for a waaay future ad astra chapter but I ended up cutting it. sad

warmer memories

(minor book spoilers below the cut)

do you ever think about how even when he wasn't around anymore fiddleford was a source of comfort and solace to ford. yeah no I don't think about it much
