I made this and then instantly forgot I made it.

Here you go, an entire month after I drew it.

A Flatland mouse being chased by a cat, which is being chased by the ancestor of a dog, which is being followed by human hunters.

[ID: A simple digital drawing for the setting of Flatland: A Romance of Many Dimensions, showing a group of three people following a dog, which chases a cat, which chases a mouse. All of them are two-dimensional beings that we look down on from above, so that we can see their insides, which are blobs in different shades of pink, purple, and red. The three humans are different geometric shapes with purple blood and grey exoskeletons. One is an almost right triangle, one is a diamond, and one is a shape almost like a quill or old-fashioned ink pen. Rather than limbs, they each have multiple pairs of thin black cillia for swimming. The dog they are chasing is light grey, with five tentacle-like fins in place of legs and tail. Its mouth is in the center of its head, with an eye and a spike on either side reminescent of ears.

The cat is orange and white, and of similar layout to the dog, but smaller, skinnier, and with a more pointed mouth and four spikes on its head rather than two. From the front of its head extend thin cillia like whiskers. The mouse is the smallest, and is grey, with a rounded body and thin cillia like the humans rather than fins. End ID.]

Flatland(1884) Fanart in the year of our Lord 2024.

Sometimes I forget that Flatland is something I can interpret as my own thing so I'ma do that now.

Ik these look very inspired by Flatland 2007, cuz they lowkey are, but I just really like how A. Sphere looks I'm sorry (ik the creator is bad but I can't help the brainworms). I wanted to add quirks tho so it's better imo. My versions of the characters if you will. More fun to draw for me and less ugly (on A. Square's end).

They have actual names and design purposes for each thing. Abel's glove to prevent contamination into himself from Flatland, Anthony's glasses and front hairs being makeshift arms, all that has a reason lol.

More explanations of stuff below cut:

The Flatland parts of Flatland the book stay the same mostly. I'm not changing much there. I do want to flesh out Spaceland tho, so I'ma do that cuz I'm super self-indulgent.

In my version of Flatland, I think it would've been fuunier if out of frustration, Abel Spherious ("A Sphere"), grabbed Anthony Squaur ("A Square") out of Flatland and yoinked him out without thinking about the consequences. He realizes shortly after that he probably shouldn't have done that, and it will probably have horrendous consequences later down the line.

Abel almost kills Anthony on accident, so uh, yikes. But then after bringing him out of Flatland, he decides to work with it, taking him back to his office to do his report on Flatland. He sorta keeps him hidden, but on the last day Anthony gets leaked to the public and the war starts over it rip. However, the span that this is like 3 days, so they get time to chat and develop communication skills n stuff.

Also, since the gravity is so harsh on Anthony's body, he struggles with talking, only emerging little squeaks. Eventually he's able to use a device to get his thoughts across (probably like a telegraph or smth), so the first day or so of being out of Flatland was a terrible time for communication. Especially when you're so entranced with the idea of seeing your "god's" insides.

Also, Abel just kinda finds Anthony gross in general (cuz he looks like a bacteria) and rejects all advances until Anthony learn to properly yap though morse code. When Anthony writes the Flatland novel, Abel translates it for the world of Spaceland to read and not want to obliterate Flatland. However, that is after his misadventures in the fourth dimension (boo a Heightlander's Escape reference tomato tomato).

These are some studies of the two. I really like the hairs on Anthony, it makes him so much more expressive. Also, Abel is a slaying king, I love him sm.

Also, Abel is like the last person who should be in charge of a company. That shit goin down the drain in a week I swear (he came to work high every day his first month of being CEO). I'll probably change the name a lil I just have to cook.

Also, silly joke of how Anthony and Abel met lol.

Have a good one broskies :)))

assorted doodles

Draw Liam and Bill catching up (aka if Liam survived being murdered, the dimension exploding, etc and the two haven't seen one another in years)

[ID: A black and white poster for the book Flatland: A Romance of Many Dimensions, with a tripple border of white and black stripes. The poster shows four solid black geometric shapes, with a curved line, an isosceles triangle, and an irregular shape all pointed towards a circle, with text below them reading, "Break the circularchy!", with the word "break" underlined for emphasis. End ID.]

Kill the priests and burn their temples to the ground

You can buy this as a shirt or sticker from my store!

Or download the HD version here and print it yourself! :)

evvery one of my characters is the universe experiencing itself over and over and over again . intersection between the self and what has made you into what you are. all of them are inextricably linked and some of them are really just another character but cast in a different light. vincent and r. line are the same but vincent is what could have been and r. line is what never should have been. oblisi and trey are the same but oblisi is a soul repressed out of fear and trey is a fire fueled by such venom filled wood that his fires burn far too high for himself and give off fumes that are only by products of the terror and apprehension and uncertainty he is filled to the brim with. all are born from the same source and it is both horrifying and transfixing to look at the one you detest and only see a mirror of yourself

Kinda redesign them a little

one day, i will succumb, and you will fade into nothing more than a distant memory.

be my apostle boy
