2019 -> 2021 -> 2024 [now]
after a few years, I've finally updated the Escape Velocity crew's reference sheets ^_^ they feel much more real now.... possibly too real. I feel like domino is going to appear in my house and start asking me to buy beer
sometimes I feel a little discouraged about how long I've spent developing these characters without any comic pages to show for it, but I think in the end the extra time was really needed, and I'm really happy with how the crew look now :J and hopefully I can stop myself from making any more major changes.
check out my ev tag if you want to see more of these weird guys
bonus:
[OC] misc evposting... including some glimpses at additional characters that I've had to redesign again. lol
FINALLY got around to those palette challenges people sent a while ago. I'll be honest I cheated on most of these because I only see palettes as a guideline rather than a strict set of rules... for the most part it worked out though.
thanks to everyone who sent a request in ^_^ !!
bonus comic below the cut
related to the hell froze over pic, I think they invite pacifica over to mcgucket manor a lot more next summer
she's suffering in only the ways a baby lesbian in 2013 can suffer
talking, what's it good for?
big birthday piece for my buddy mer @myrmica!!! merthday? sure let's go with that. he's managed to get me into lifesteal and while I may not have gotten to these two yet I'm fascinated by whatever they have going on based on the analysis I've heard...
the rituals. they're intricate
chapter 4!! it's done!!! yay!!! [collapses in a heap]
alright so this was a somewhat indulgent one I admit but I've always really liked 1. viewing stories through a transgender lens and 2. the idea that fiddleford was the one who gave ford his iconic coat, which makes it particularly sweet (and agonizing) to think about him wearing it for 30+ years... and uh, hopefully washing it once in a while
updates are every first friday of the month, make sure to view as intended on Ad Astra Per Aspera's neocities page!!
Rose has a certain effect on people, but it shows itself in different ways...
*another EV related drawing, since I've been working on outline stuff in the background and this piece has just been sitting on my sketch canvas for months. this time with act 2 designs entirely because I wanted to include nora
after a brief hiatus, Ad Astra Per Aspera has a whole new (short) chapter up as of THIS MORNING! >> there won't be a big tumblr post with every page this time (because formatting it would be annoying) so please go check it out on its neocities page! <<
and since I already announced it there: updates should be monthly consistently from now on- barring anything weird coming up in my life, which is always possible.
COMMISSION BATCH 2: THE SEQUEL. and in the future I may have to add unique pricing for character sheets to my comms info... anyway, lots of fun like always, expect the second part to this batch soon

Redraw of an OC piece I did a whole century ago! (in 2019)
giving some context because I never do that for EV stuff: Gills was picked out of a handful of parentless ambymander kids in southern Kaalera for the ATLAS program, which is supposed to fast-track you into a STEM job for Somapex by shipping you to school off-planet. (Supposedly better than the alternative... according to them) Many of his fellow students went on to spread the word that the library was haunted most nights by the spectre of a six foot tall 15 year old with scary glow in the dark eyes.
(Old version below the cut)
it is the time once more.... to post art i have made for money !! (part one)
below the cut are everyone's credits, thanks to everyone who commissioned me for your support :J

the REAL reason why bill wants to leave the nightmare realm: pollution
okay I know I said I wasn't going to upload full chapters here often but LISTEN these first ones are short. and I love being inconsistent. but do check out these pages on Ad Astra Per Aspera's neocities page if you want to see these formatted the way I intended!
is that a sense of impending doom, or just the summer pollen? probably just the pollen.
anyway, i don't plan on posting full chapters like this too often but take this as a reminder to go check out Ad Astra Per Aspera on its neocities page, where it updates every Friday! In case you’re into comics about things that already exist.
hey did you guys know its the pines twins’ 23rd birthday today? I had no idea.
anyway, here’s a thing I’ve been working on for a while. This was originally supposed to be for the show’s 10th anniversary back in June, but I definitely didn’t anticipate how long it’d take and had to push it back to the end of August. It feels like an appropriate way to send off the summer :]
ps: as per gf tradition, there’s a hidden message along the first 10 pages
stay weird etc etc

I never learned how to do backgrounds.
