Last batch of sketch commissions, had to delay posting this a bit but they’re all done !! and for now i move on with my life
vicarious
some supplementary notes since this is an oc piece (you can learn a little more about Escape Velocity in my oc tag for now until I figure out a better way to organize it), I can't say too much without giving everything away but these three's conjoined story arcs are some of my favorite in the entire comic. wanted to draw something vague that might... make more sense later... I was listening to paparazzi while drawing a good chunk of this I'll be honest
anyway. I did draw the rest of this guy but 90% of his pose was blocked by gills and nora in the foreground...
I almost wish I didn't save him though. he looks too pleased about it
I drew this extremely quick comic back at the start of july, before anyone had gotten their books early, and I had assumed we were all going to be seeing it around the same time. clearly that's not how it worked out and I've already seen a couple of... things... (not to mention I'm getting it on the 26th- whoops) which kind of minimizes the point of posting this, but I figured I should at least get it out of my drafts.
anyway, I don't like that guy. but I'm really glad this show has been in my life regardless of any mixed feelings on the book. so... here's to everyone who still cares about the parts of gravity falls that don't revolve around the hot topic triangle
is that a sense of impending doom, or just the summer pollen? probably just the pollen.
anyway, i don't plan on posting full chapters like this too often but take this as a reminder to go check out Ad Astra Per Aspera on its neocities page, where it updates every Friday! In case you’re into comics about things that already exist.
idk man
(and credit to divorcedfiddleford for the video that inspired the first drawing)
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
