Terezi Pyrope - Blog Posts
Sorry for being absent (I don’t feel like sending everything I drew)
2020 / 2021 fanart.
▶ I made a minimalist Homestuck calendar for the year 2022 (this year!) sadly it seems I am 11 days too late but hopefully it won't go completely to waste. I could re-release it some other time for a different year if people still want it. you can track people's zodiac on it and everything. I thought it was a cute idea but I didn't think it would be so time-consuming. However, my general health had deteriorated this past couple of years, leading to the loss of my speed and productivity.
⇩Personal thoughts below ⇩
▶ I actually read and finished Homestuck. it was an interesting experience. It was much more enjoyable than I imagined it would be, very creative, wild, and surprisingly educational. I realized just how big of an impact this comic had on Internet's history as a whole.
■ I do admit that I have come to greatly dislike the author as a person, and it seems like they are going down a path that is unhealthy for them and the people surrounding them. On the other hand, I have great respect for all the people that contributed to this series and I'll support it in order to support the hard-working team working under the author and the dedicated fans.
sum doodles through all my exams, i haven’t had an exam-less week in over a month :,(
also, porrim so handsome in this whatttt
LIGHT IS LUCK, not knowledge
I don’t know about other people, but i’ve always seen the light aspect interpreted as the aspect of knowledge. I thought it made enough sense, Rose is a know it all that sees the future and Vriska… should have been able to make people unknowledgeable or something.
But, it makes so much more sense for light to be the aspect of luck, especially taking into account the new hsbc upd8s.
A common theme recently is the fact that Rose gets the future wrong. That implies either the malfunction of her powers, or the fact that she doesn’t see the future plain and simple, but the most probable path.
Again, idk if this was already commonly accepted or not, but it made me think (i don’t really remember a lot of homestuck, and i never even finished the main thing).
Vriska has always been more tied to luck than knowledge, and with the ability to steal the luck from other people, it’s so much more feasable for her to defy Rose’s predictions.
The fact that Rose’s seer powers are luck-based also makes the seer class more appealing. Since before, one could assume that the only thing they did was see the future, as that’s what Rose and Terezi both seemed to be doing.
I think the characters inside the comic itself don’t know what Rose’s classpect entails, except for maybe Rose herself. We all thought that she knew what was going to happen in [S] br8k, all the other characters probably thought so too, but she didn’t know, she was placing a bet against herself, and making it come to fruition.
Thief of light is a really cool conceot once you get that, Vriska steals bets, she doesn’t manipulate them, not directly, but her very existance contradicts the hopes and wishes for luck, for just this one thing to happen.
Anyways, these are just random thoughts about classpecting, i’d love to give my interpretation of classpects that we don’t see in the comic. I’m also excited to see what classpects the new gen of kids will have (omega kids? delta? idk).
more doodles from class today, enjoy
Still with a bit of art block, but this, this has truly inspired me
"Template" under cut:
Some doodles of these guys, red grey and black.
Additional comment under cut:
Seriously though, the contrast between the two hands is so painful what the fuck happened to the bottom one 😭
some people have such little nuance Ó_Ò
a little terezi design, i like her lankyness >:D
i'm quite proud of this actually,, i am far from having good art as a professional requirement, so i don't really practice anatomy and things
i really need to practice lighting though... (on realistic bodies lol)
i also never use references (because art is just a hobby for me, so i mainly do it just because), i think in this one you can't tell as much, but using refs would probably make my art much better in some ways already
idk, ill have to contemplate how much effort i want to put into posting here XD
alt bg under cut:
was it necessary to tag absolutely everything? Yes
The trolls as insects (i might draw them later)
Aradia Megido - Maroon Ghost Moth (Elhamma australasiae)
Moths have been repeatedly portrayed as a sign of death. Also, their fluffiness matches the one of Aradia's hair XD. When I read this one's name it was inevitable (ghost???, maroon??, literally her oh my gooood).
Tavros Nitram - Question Mark Butterfly (Polygonia interrogationis)
Mostly based off of the Summoner and Rufioh having wings, I didn't want to make it a monarch butterfly because Tavros is in no way royalty.
Sollux Captor - Western Honey Bee (Apis mellifera)
Pretty self explanatory, Sollux always had a connection (and obsession) with bees. They also sting, which is kind of a metaphor for the psionics.
Karkat Vantas - Seven Spot Ladybird (Coccinella septempunctata)
Ladybirds are always seen as special, even though this instance is not a mutation per se, it's special and red. Also, ladybirds are commonplace pests (which is kind of what Karkat is to HIC).
Nepeta Leijon - Pale Green Assassin Bug (Zelus luridus)
I looked up some good bug hunters and I got assassin bugs, nepeta is the mightiest of huntresses, so it fits.
Kanaya Maryam - Green Headed Ant (Rhytidoponera metallica)
I was doubting wether to make Kanaya an ant or a silk moth, but ultimately, moths are a better representation of Aradia, and ants mimic jade-blood's function in troll society better. A part from being green, this species of ant apparently has a nice bite, which is representative of Kanaya's fierceness.
Terezi Pyrope - Ebony Jewelwing (Calopteryx maculata)
I am aware that the dragonfly pictured is male, just ignore that lol, headcanon the trolls as hermaphroditic (i will post about their biological cycle hehe). Dragonflies are said to be insect's best predators, Terezi is also a vicious and precise hunter, if not of other trolls literally, of outcomes and possibilities (she is intelligent, and a Seer of Mind).
Vriska Serket - Peacock Tarantula (Poecilotheria metallica)
Also pretty self explanatory, it's a blue spider, therefore Vriska Serket. Spiders in general are already a good representation of how she is percieved (with fear lol). Yea, simple explanation.
Equius Zahhak - "Pure Blue" Giant Flower Beetle (Mecynorhina torquata)
The strongest of bugs are beetles (among some types of ants, who are better described as proportionally strongest). This particular one is also pretty big and strong, and coincidentally presents this type of coloration.
Gamzee Makara - Purple-Winged Grasshopper (Titanacris albipes)
Originally was going to be a praying mantis, but the orchid mantis was just too perfect for Feferi. Locusts also have ties to religion and mythology, which was my main focus for finding Gamzee's insect (they have been, fittingly, a symbol of destruction for eons).
Eridan Ampora - Canopy Mosquito (Sabethes cyaneus)
Tbh, I based most of this decision off of the fact that Eridan is annoying (I don't hate him, it's just his personality, unfortunately). Also, mosquitos breed in water (at least that's what my parents always told me) which matches the aquatic theme.
Feferi Peixes - Orchid Mantis (Hymenopus coronatus)
Feferi is the troll I had the most trouble with. Originally I tried keeping up with the aquatic theme and had found Ranatra linearis, a stickbug that looks like a mantis and hunts little fish. I discarded the option because even though it was aquatic, the connections with Feferi kind of ended there.
I then tried to search for a bug that had "empress" in the name, and had chosen Megapomponia imperatoria, a giant as fuck cicada. It didn't convince me either though.
I chose the orchid mantis because, mantises are cutthroat, good hunters and pink as fuck. If that's not a description of the tyrian blood caste I don't know what is.
I wanted to make one of these drawing comparisons to different species of ants. There exist some cool af ants out there, I might do it.
Au where karkat works at a daycare or something??? XD idk, they're pretty cute kids tbh
Decidí también unirme otra vez a los chart memes de namco high
Hasta creé una plantilla nueva (la del heroe), pero no se si dividí bien el espacio.

I also decided to join the Namco High meme charts again
I even created a new template (the hero one), but I don't know if I divided the space well
Originals:
Mirenlos, los ligadores definitivos. / Look at them, the ultimate rizzers.
(Apenas tengo tres scrips hechos y encima tengo que hacer las traducciones. Y digamos que las historias alternativas que tengo guardadas en mi mente no estan ayudando-)

(I only have three scripts done and on top of that I have to do the translations. And let's just say that the alternative stories I have stored in my mind aren't helping-)
My friend @sam-is-tired gave me the characters for challenge/meme
I never want to draw the Green M&M again
photos naipunya took of some of her friends.
i hope they feel somewhat like actual pictures a little high schooler would take, because i drew them into photos i took when i was a little high schooler myself.
i’d like to make more of these; they’re fun, and they’re good practice.
i think this is the first time one of the original humans showed up in a canon post? they are present in this world, they just go to a different school. i do need to draw them more.
commission for @minnasota-smith’s au, fatestuck!
