One of two pieces I did for Art Fight this year xDc Better than nothing, and I had fun! Focused on going with the flow and exploring.
This is my dear friend @mintytrashcannot's character Albert (and his alien dog Spluty)! I felt he seemed like a rather traditionalist guy who would stand by his country's greyscale palette even after color was legalized, so this is kinda meant to highlight that contrast between his natural color and his conservative values
(Hope that makes some kinda sense...the lore is a bit complex)

these shapes have infected my brain
purely from random osmosis, but if bill cipher was born with his eye on his "side" (facing upward in what Flatlanders call their inside), then he'd be blind as a Flatlander because we wouldn't be able to see within Flatland itself at all.
And also no one would even be aware that he has an eye to begin with, because it's literally outside their realm of perception. They'd think he was born without any eye and that he was literally just imagining anything he thought he could see.
[ID: A four way grid with the first row labeled "Bill Cipher apparently", first seen from above, as an equilateral triangle with a round eye in the center of his face, looking up and to the side. He is then seen from the side as a line with a half circle on top to show his eye, labeled, "Cannot see surroundings at all, cannot look in any direction except Up". from his eye radiate three lines to show his area of vision, with a zig-zag line in front of him to show where he cannot see. The second row is labeled, "Regular Flatlander", and shows another equilateral triangle, but this one has their eye on their perimeter at their top point. When they are shown from the side, they are labeled, "Can see surroundings, but cannot look Up", with three straight lines in front of their eye, which points to the size, and a zig-zag above them. End ID.]
So. If you're planning to write a crossover with Flatland where you want it to actually follow Flatland's worldbuilding, Bill should be blind while he's in Flatland. He'd have to navigate purely though touch and sound and would never see anything except whatever is above him.
go my morally complicated cannibalism yaoi
vincent and equilateris have a complicated relationship. at its core, vincent uses equilateris for his own purposes, whether or not he would ever admit or truly even realize/intend it. there is something rotted and atrophied inside of vincent from birth. equilateris is the neutral solvent to make him pure. but if equilateris is expected to be the one to wash vincent clean of his reality, it means it is simply transferred onto him. equilateris suffers in his love for vincent, no matter how genuine their relationship is. his personhood is rejected in favor of a surface level ideal that makes him a blank slate for others to project themselves onto.
(why, exactly, does vincent view equilateris as such a pure being despite the fact that he extends his prejudice to all? firstly, in order to be able to rationalize his love for equilateris, it’s necessary that he views equilateris as “different” from the rest. putting him on a pedestal is involved with that. secondly, equilateris is so secure and confident in his identity. vincent over-saturates his ego and places himself above all else in order to make up for the crushing reality that he has no direction in life and sees himself as the worst. he cannot fathom the sort of mindset equilateris has, devoid of self-loathing and self-destruction. someone so pure, that someone as tainted as him could learn from. There’s more to it that i do not know how to convey in words because it is closely linked to the context of their creation)
crybaby (ID below !!)
[ID: A digital drawing of an original design for A. Square from Flatland: A Romance of Many Dimensions, drawn against a blue-black background.
He is a dark teal-green square with a thick cream border, with four stubby legs, a single round eye covered with a pair of single-lens glasses with a red lens and black frame, and has orange, red and cream blobs to show his internal organs, with a simple stomach leading back from his mouth, and a gear around a red circle with an orange brain inside.
There are collections of e lines on one upper side and opposite on the lower side. He is first posed like he is crouching look upward, teary-eyed. Then he is being comfortingly patted from a dark gold arm from above. Then he looks annoyed or tired, with one speech bubble with only a red scribble in it, and then a picture of a cream pyramid, red five-pointed star, and green square all overlapping.
In the bottom corner is the artist's signature of "fez pwned".
End ID.]
Love like you
This time I really tried hard on the light and shade, and the tone, and the colors. I corrected this drawing for three days. I hope you like it <3 minifit by @huiosla

I should be doing homework rn.
But nah, it's my birthday I can do what I want. Have some silly goofy art of my current favorite silly goofies.
Also, more tweaking on my designs. Abel now has a "bread" shaped spot on his face and Anthony actually looks like a cell now!
Progress shots below cut:
Also here's a remake reference of Abel. Most likely gonna be the final design but don't take my word for it. (He also uses he/they now cuz I'm non-binary I get to choose who's also non-binary (they're actually agender lol)).
He's my fruit basket I love them sm
