babby redesign
line art and greyscale versions also
+ design changes and design significance notes :
her head shape and colour gradient are closer to those shared by the other women in her family on Atlas’s side (i.e. Liz (her aunt) and Irene (her grandmother))
her dress has changed, but still retains some of the original’s features - such as the puffy sleeves, scalloped hems, and buttons
the bow on her dress is specifically from Atlas; his ex used to wear a bow around her top point and he thought that a bow would look cute on his daughter too
she has Chief’s eye, tail, and colouration (purple). she also gets his heels in the future
she has Atlas’s broad arms, tail, eyebrow, colouration (pale yellow (on her upper limbs and torso)), and fur (on her elbows and head)

more flatland musings
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.]
Upwards, yet not Northwards.
animatic for a possible animation^ anyway I like flutland
The Depths of a Bidimensional Existence, Unravelled (because subtitles in books are fun!)
hey! Remember that novel I wrote? And that I said I'd maybe rewrite sometime?
Well it's gonna happen for real this time. I'll give more detail as I get the time (and I don't have much time to write currently with a job/community service, another job, and school, and therapy, and finally getting that autism diagnosis! Yay!)
I'm a bit inspired by VAS: An Opera in Flatland, which I admittedly havent finished reading because I once again was disillusioned with the humanized flatlanders, the women-not-being-lines and non-bidimensional perspective and stuff.. but I find the visual style interesting - I might make a special edition with similar additions, but as of now the rewrite is simply text, possibly with the addition of the encrypted texts/3d dialogue like the original.
My goal with this is more bidimensionality (dwelling more into the 2d life and perspective and the jarring transition to 3d) maybe i'll try to tackle some theme throughout, and change details like Bill and Liam because 1. i dont like flat dreams at all 2. i dont like possibly getting sued.
My goal is to make something I'm even more proud of and that I can publish - my dad told me I could self-publish through amazon, I think (I may give out free digital copies to the OG flatlandblr crew if anyone wants to be my beta-readers?)
However running it through my dad would mean removing (or making very implicit..) a lot of the queer things of the book. The disability commentary will remain (even more now that I'm making changes to "Bill", if you've seen my recent reblogs), the relationship between Pol and The-Now-Unnamed-Equilateral will continue to be very deep, plus A. Shape will retain its pronouns, but I'm unsure and scared of what would happen with the other details.
The novel will possibly be a bit lengthier, obviously written with more thought and detail I hope - I can't promise the perfect work as I'm just some 17 year old kid.. but I have a lot of love for this flat world, as I hope you guys know, so I will try to do it justice in all its flat glory.
If you have any comments or questions, (or ideas on what to call Bill.. honestly, I might change all the names to non-human-sounding ones.. but I'm not sure?) I'm always open! You guys are the biggest reason I want to do this.
Sorry by the way if I havent answered to anything on my inbox (especially requests for 2d-world info) - life has been a whole tumble lately.
A. Sphere! Some more shoddy ballpoint concept doodles on my lunchbreak. Thank yall for the kind words on A Square's design :'] he's really fun to draw
Anthro shapes! :^] *hyperventilates*
