First drawing of the year ^_^

Guys I love the Pentagon doctor so much, it ain't funny anymore 💔

(gonna upgrade his design soon...!)

really bad colouring below the cut...

space girl and star boy

[ID: a digital painting of two original stylised Flatland characters, named Liz and Atlas, done in a lineless style.

Liz is a humanoid creature with a star-shaped head, an eye with no pupil, four gold hoop earrings and a tail with a star on the end. She is red, orange and yellow, but her left hand is blue. Atlas is an isosceles triangle with limbs, a tail with a V-shape on the end, and one eye with a star-shaped pupil. He has two chipped corners and scars on his side and eye. He is white with a yellow central gradient and gold limbs.

Liz and Atlas are floating while facing each other with their tails curled behind them. Liz is holding a small Earth, while Atlas holds a small crescent moon. Liz has a wide-eyed expression, but Atlas looks tired with a half-lidded eye.

The background shows a nebula, with clouds around the bottom of the image and stars at the top. The clouds behind both Liz and Atlas glow orange and white respectively, reflecting their light.

symbolism explanation under the cut (this ones a doozy) :

Liz is depicted as per usual as the Sun, with Earth in her hands - a placeholder for Ruth. Atlas is supposed to depict the North Star, with the crescent Moon in his hands being Chief. Liz is coloured in a rough manner (to give a ‘fire’ effect), while Atlas is coloured much more cleanly (to give a polished gold and matte painted porcelain appearance) - both reflecting their personalities.

The gold components of Atlas’s body are much stronger than that of his fragile porcelain body, it is damaged and chipped compared to his unscarred limbs. His limbs are identical to his father’s, who held the same position as Atlas in his prime and is someone who Atlas looks up to. These are strong and have been handed down to him, but his body isn’t as sturdy. The white porcelain is painted yellow and spreads outwards, as if trying to blend into the tougher gold parts of him - trying to be something it’s not.

The Earth and Sun complement each other in a way that is somewhat similar to how the North Star and the Moon do. However, the former are much closer to one another than the latter are. The Earth symbol is closer to Liz’s hands than the Moon symbol is to Atlas’s hands, representing Liz and Ruth’s close relationship compared to Atlas and Chief’s continually distancing relationship. Liz is unfazed and shows no emotion in her eye, she knows where the Earth is and trusts it won’t leave her ‘orbit’. Meanwhile, Atlas stares longingly, yet tiredly, at the crescent Moon slowly daring to leave his hands.

Liz, as a star, is a light source onto whom no shadows cast, and her light casts onto both ‘Ruth’ and ‘Chief’. The Earth also blocks some of her light from the Moon, casting a small but intense shadow on it. However, Liz’s light doesn’t reach Atlas and it’s instead reflected off the Moon and back onto him - despite being a star who should also produce his own light. He no longer gets his light, i.e. comfort, from Liz anymore - but instead a skewed and watered down version of it from Chief, who is the one closest in proximity to him anymore.

after consideration it has been changed that parallia is making the shadow puppet rather than the originally intended renata

I’d do anything for you, Mrs. Highness

[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.
