[ID: a digital painting of two original stylised Flatland characters, named Atlas and Chief Jr.
Atlas is a stone grey isosceles triangle with a navy tail with a V-shaped end, navy limbs, one eye with a star-shaped pupil, a bushy black eyebrow, chipped top and bottom right corners, and scars on his left side and eye.
Chief Jr. is a light grey and dark purple circle with a crescent moon pattern on his body, dark purple limbs and a tail that ends in a C-shaped tip, a glossy eyelid and long beaded eyelashes. He is wearing a black crown.
Chief is walking in front of Atlas on a dirt path and looking over to the left, as if looking back at Atlas. He is posed mid-stride and both of his hands are held away from his body. His left hand is loosely pointing the index finger at nothing in particular, and his right hand is held out to catch a falling raindrop. Atlas is running towards Chief and holding out a black umbrella to cover him with. He is looking straight at Chief and has a slightly panicked expression.
The background is a dirt path cutting through a lush meadow. The sky is blue, but fades to white closer to the horizon. Some green hills are in the distance. There are some light raindrops falling from a cloud just out of view at the top right of the scene.

detail close-ups / small symbolism explanation / silly thing under the cut
[ID: four close-up shots of the above image. The first shows Atlas’s arm. The second shows Chief’s leg and arm. The third shows the umbrella. The fourth shows the grass and shadows. End ID].
Obviously the biggest and most prominent aspect of this is Atlas doing his best to shield Chief from the rain with the single umbrella as quickly as he can, at the expense of being soaked himself. He sees Chief’s comfort as being far more important than his own, so he’ll be the one to provide that comfort to him. He could choose to cover both of them with the umbrella, but he prioritises getting Chief completely covered first (or even just partially covering both of them).
Another thing being their placements; Atlas is farther away, and thus seems smaller than Chief. Something something smaller = less important, despite the fact that Atlas is physically much larger than Chief when stood side-by-side.
The grass near Atlas is yellower than that near Chief. Chief is surrounded by dark green grass. In essence, the grass is in poorer condition near Atlas, while it is healthier near Chief to symbolise the different paths in life they’ve lead thus far.
also some potential endings especially for my two pathetic little guys <3 romantic walk through the meadow ruined by natural causes
[ID: two digital monochrome doodles of Atlas and Chief Jr. on grey backgrounds.
In the first image, Atlas is holding onto the umbrella, that has turned inside-out due to strong wind, while being dragged along and scrapping his heels on the ground. His eye is closed and he has a strained expression. Chief is stood in the back with an unimpressed look.
In the second image, they are stood together with Atlas holding the umbrella over Chief. They are both looking at one another and blushing, with Chief’s tail wrapped around Atlas’s. The rain is hitting off the umbrella and Atlas. Under this illustration is a smaller one, showing Atlas and Chief in the same poses but with their tails separated and their umbrella obliterated after being struck by lighting.

ruthie redesign yay
also additional simple character info sheet thingy i made with this :
[ID: the same image as described above, but it has some additional text and images added.
“Ruth Bea Galton” is wrote at the top right in large black text, followed by “| she / her | 25 |” underneath. Below this is a pink, orange and white lesbian flag and British flag beside each other. Under the flags are several paragraphs of text, written as follows: “Only child of respective solicitor, Hugh Galton, and his wife, Beatrice Galton.”, “Currently resides in a little cottage on the edge of a rural town far from home, along with Liz Huntsworth. Makes a living by selling her hand-knitted pieces to the local clothing shop that Liz works for.”, “Irregularity occurred at age 12, after being hit in the street by a young isosceles man. He did not survive the ordeal.”, and “Personality is reserved, pessimistic, and anxious - but sarcastic.”.
On the top left, light grey text reads “voice claim : Katie Leung”. On the bottom left, there is black text that reads “Canon faithful form:” with a drawing of Ruth as a non-stylised Flatlander underneath. She has the same colours and spot patterning, but is worm-like in appearance.
