talking, what's it good for?

big birthday piece for my buddy mer @myrmica!!! merthday? sure let's go with that. he's managed to get me into lifesteal and while I may not have gotten to these two yet I'm fascinated by whatever they have going on based on the analysis I've heard...

the rituals. they're intricate

chapter 4!! it's done!!! yay!!! [collapses in a heap]

alright so this was a somewhat indulgent one I admit but I've always really liked 1. viewing stories through a transgender lens and 2. the idea that fiddleford was the one who gave ford his iconic coat, which makes it particularly sweet (and agonizing) to think about him wearing it for 30+ years... and uh, hopefully washing it once in a while

updates are every first friday of the month, make sure to view as intended on Ad Astra Per Aspera's neocities page!!

who killed stanford pines?

anywayyy. did you guys know I love them

ev sketches, big and small. still struggling to figure out when I want to work on outlines...

I also found everyone's oldest sketches back when I was still a kid first designing them and thought this comparison in how much they've changed was kind of neat

was it a friday night? was it a saturday night?

couldn't decide which one I liked better so you guys get both. he's my cute old man of the year

it's really hard figuring out your gender and sexuality when it's the 1970s and you can't just google "am I transgender quiz"

stream of consciousness fountain pen art

Rose has a certain effect on people, but it shows itself in different ways...

*another EV related drawing, since I've been working on outline stuff in the background and this piece has just been sitting on my sketch canvas for months. this time with act 2 designs entirely because I wanted to include nora

after a brief hiatus, Ad Astra Per Aspera has a whole new (short) chapter up as of THIS MORNING! >> there won't be a big tumblr post with every page this time (because formatting it would be annoying) so please go check it out on its neocities page! <<

and since I already announced it there: updates should be monthly consistently from now on- barring anything weird coming up in my life, which is always possible.

gf sketches of january :J

If you have the same hyperfixation for too long they put money on your head and baby I'm frontlining America's most wanted

bonus parallel fidds sprites

come on kid lets go save HLVRAI....2!!!!!!!!!

okay so a while back I mentioned I was really unhappy with the older designs I had for the pines twins, so I decided to completely re-do them. not sure why I didn't give them both glasses in the first place honestly. hey have you noticed how often I just draw characters standing in a white empty space

COMMISSION BATCH 2: THE SEQUEL. and in the future I may have to add unique pricing for character sheets to my comms info... anyway, lots of fun like always, expect the second part to this batch soon

more bits and pieces

Concept for the cover of a chapter of ad astra per aspera which i have Not abandoned. I promise. but anyway.... I <3 coelacanth imagery

guys can you believe mystery trio is REAL in the abw universe !!1!1

i never draw ford doing anything cool. here's a picture of him punching a security guard from the institute of oddology in the face (including last minute detail of the society of the blind eye symbol being repurposed for the institute's security because.... yeah)

(AND FIVE) okay these are old compared to everything else here but i started doing some 2013 designs for the pines family and then got bored sorry

^ secret bonus scraps for clicking the readmore

I get really nostalgic around the holidays and start listening to these guys again as background noise

Redraw of an OC piece I did a whole century ago! (in 2019)

giving some context because I never do that for EV stuff: Gills was picked out of a handful of parentless ambymander kids in southern Kaalera for the ATLAS program, which is supposed to fast-track you into a STEM job for Somapex by shipping you to school off-planet. (Supposedly better than the alternative... according to them) Many of his fellow students went on to spread the word that the library was haunted most nights by the spectre of a six foot tall 15 year old with scary glow in the dark eyes.

(Old version below the cut)

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

change the channel, please

to this day i think the best part of journal 3 was definitely just these two going hiking in the pacific northwest, both ill-equipped in different ways but clearly having a lot of fun.

the REAL reason why bill wants to leave the nightmare realm: pollution

okay I know I said I wasn't going to upload full chapters here often but LISTEN these first ones are short. and I love being inconsistent. but do check out these pages on Ad Astra Per Aspera's neocities page if you want to see these formatted the way I intended!
